| 17 | |
| 18 | OhCrap in Video Games. |
| 19 | ---- |
| 20 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[folder:A-F]] |
| 23 | * ''VideoGame/AbobosBigAdventure'': Can be read on the faces of the NES characters in the ending when they realize that Abobo and his son are going to murder every single one of them. |
| 24 | * ''VideoGame/AceCombat'': |
| 25 | ** Enemies frequently have this reaction upon encountering the player character late in the game. The target of any superweapon attack also do this. The two words are explicitly dropped in ''VideoGame/AceCombatXSkiesOfDeception'' when your allies see that [[spoiler: there's another Fenrir in Archelon Fortress trying to escape to Leasath and they can't do anything about it themselves.]] |
| 26 | ** From ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar'': [[spoiler:"The 8492nd squadron doesn't exist!"]] Cue about 30 enemy planes appearing out of nowhere. |
| 27 | *** The Yuktobanians get plenty of moments themselves, especially after the four protagonists begin making a name for themselves among them as the "Demons of Razgriz." |
| 28 | ----> '''Unfortunate Yuke Ground Unit''': '''HELP US, IT'S ''[[TheDreaded THE RAZGRIZ!]]''''' |
| 29 | *** Another for the poor Yukes happens during a mission to destroy their ammunition dumps, and they find out that the ammunition fires are ''burning too hot'' for their firefighting equipment to handle. |
| 30 | ----> ''' ''Very'' Unfortunate Yuke Ground Unit''': '''''GET OUTTA THERE, YOU'RE GONNA GET FRIED!''''' |
| 31 | ** The final mission of ''VideoGame/AceCombat04ShatteredSkies''. Yellow Squadron, defending Megalith, is ordered to ignore all incoming aircraft except Mobius One, reasoning that the remaining attackers are of little threat (a signal of how much they fear the player). Then they realize that they're up against a Mobius ''Squadron''. |
| 32 | --->''You're not gonna believe this, Jean-Louis! '''All''' of them have ribbon insignias!'' |
| 33 | ** Also, in ''VideoGame/AceCombatAssaultHorizon'', ''"Colonel, it's him, the shark bastard!"'' ''"[[PrecisionFStrike Shit]]."'' |
| 34 | ** The player character's first experience with [[EnergyWeapon the Excalibur]] in ''VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar'': right after it cuts through three allied transport planes in one attack, you hear about five different pilots loudly wondering what the hell just happened. |
| 35 | ** Enemy squadrons encountered as an emergency update in ''VideoGame/AceCombatInfinity'' are a frequent source of this; in particular is the Titan squadron of F-14s, the leader of which will start panicking and ask if they still have the advantage after the players shoot down a few of them. Playing in Area [=B7R=] Dogfight makes it most apparent, where your mere presence scares almost every possible enemy squadron enough that they immediately call for fire support from [[{{BFG}} Stonehenge]]. |
| 36 | * ''VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds'': |
| 37 | ** Vath, the third Lord of Chaos and first Chaos Lord to be a jerkass in his own right, gets an OhCrap moment when the hero destroys both his Chaos Dragon Amulet and his Legendary Sword of Dragon Control via AccidentalAimingSkills. His OhCrap moment gets turned up a notch even more when he realizes that his dragon that he enslaved, Stalagbite, has turned against him now that he has been free of his control. |
| 38 | --->'''Vath''': (after his sword and amulet are destroyed) No. NO! You fool! You have no idea what you've done!\ |
| 39 | '''Stalagbite''': (wakes up and looks at Vath) You...\ |
| 40 | '''Vath''': No! WAIT! This wasn't supposed to happen! (Stalagbite roars and pins him down) |
| 41 | ** Zahart, controller of [[spoiler:the Eighth Lord of Chaos,]] Tibicenas, also gets one when he sees that Zhoom has destroyed his magic ring. This happens right before Tibicenas [[spoiler:proves that EvilIsNotAToy by lifting his former master into the air and brainwashing him into his new slave]]. |
| 42 | ** Artix also gets one whenever he notices the Fear Feeder and receives sudden fear of it. Pretty unusual for a paladin, if you ask us (He normally only fears the color pink, but still...). |
| 43 | * In every version of ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'', the player's character has this reaction after shaking a tree, [[ItMakesSenseInContext and a beehive falls out]]. And after ''City Folk'', if the player is stung twice, they faint. Taken further if you try to catch either a tarantula in winter or a scorpion in summer during the night and fail, or just simply ''carrying a net'' at night and not being aware of your surroundings. |
| 44 | * ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': In the bad ending, G and B react with utter horror upon [[spoiler:their security bots accidentally killing Ryan in front of Ann, causing [[EldritchAbomination Amok]] to materialize and immediately strike them down]]. |
| 45 | * In ''VideoGame/ArchimedeanDynasty'' the moment comes when, during a routine patrol, a massive Biont battleship silently passes in front of you, knocking out your electronics with its mere ''presence''. And then things go to hell. Really, ''really'' fast. |
| 46 | * In ''VideoGame/ArcStyleBaseball3D'', an exclamation mark pops out of a baserunner's head when they see that a fielder is trying to tag them out in a rundown and when they need to tag up because the ball has been caught in the air. |
| 47 | * ''VideoGame/ArmoredCoreForAnswer'': "Please Accept My apologies, the briefing you saw was manufactured. This is the end of the road for you. I think you understand [[MoralEventHorizon why]]." Cue 4 Flying into the battlefield. And on Hard difficulty, there are ''five'', with the extra one being the mission control. |
| 48 | * ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'': The default expression of Altair's and Ezio's targets. In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey'', as the Misthios and Deimos fight each other. [[spoiler: Kleon shoots an arrow into Deimos's back, making him have this reaction as the Misthios bears down on him and gives him a choice of two deaths: a neck snap or drowning him in a puddle on the beach.]] |
| 49 | * ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'': |
| 50 | ** Shown when [[spoiler: After Wyzen, now the size of earth, tries to kill Asura by using his finger to crush him, Asura starts lifting it BACK UP! Wyzen has this type of look on his face, before being punched into oblivion]]. |
| 51 | ** At the very end of Episode 14, [[spoiler:Sergei, the most despicable of the Seven Deities]], gets a very satisfying one of these right before [[spoiler:getting slashed in half by Wrath Asura]]. |
| 52 | ** In Episode 15.5 [[spoiler: Yasha vs. Deus, near the end of the fight, when Yasha activates his Vajra and tries to attack Deus with the same punch that broke Asura out of his Wrath form... Deus takes it without even flinching, cue Yasha having this facial reaction.]] |
| 53 | ** In Episode 16, Yasha has this look [[spoiler:when Asura grows one of his humongous Berserker Arms the instant Deus appears.]] |
| 54 | ** In the final episode, [[spoiler:Chakravartin's calm, confident expression [[ThisIsGonnaSuck gradually turning into one of genuine wide-eyed shock]] as Asura's fist breaks through his defenses and smashes square into his perfect face is simply a delicious sight to behold. He has another one when his attempt to NoSell Asura's punch fails and he gets thrown around like a ragdoll, cue a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that leads into a "ThisCannotBe" moment preceeding his death, and it is ''glorious'']] |
| 55 | * At the end of ''VideoGame/BackToTheFutureTheGame: Episode 2'', Kid Tannen holds up upstairs in a building full of explosives. [[spoiler:Marty makes a fuse out of liquor and lights it.]] |
| 56 | * ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'': |
| 57 | ** In ''Origins'', [[spoiler:Shanath]] gets an incredibly satisfying one when [[spoiler:Sagi powers himself up and cripples his machina arma]]. |
| 58 | ** In the first game, [[spoiler:Melodia]] had a big one when [[spoiler:Kalas ripped off his wing and rejected Malpercio]]. |
| 59 | * ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'': As Batman takes out more and more mooks from the shadows, the remaining mooks will notice their missing (or incapacitated) friends, and they will appropriately start freaking out. All more the fun with detective vision on, since you can slowly see their heartbeat rise and their emotional well-being plummet. This mostly holds true in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' as well, except for when Batman encounters the BrainwashedAndCrazy TYGER troops. |
| 60 | * ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'': |
| 61 | ** Henry gasps when he sees Bendy's cardboard cutout in the middle of the hallway. And it wasn't there before. |
| 62 | ** Henry reacts this way upon seeing "Inked" Bendy and makes a break for the entrance. |
| 63 | * Even the enemy robots of ''VideoGame/{{Berzerk}}'' fear Evil Otto, as they herald his arrival by shouting "Intruder alert! Intruder alert!", and for good reason: Evil Otto will destroy anything other than a wall he bounces into, even if that something is a robot. |
| 64 | * Right after the final fight in ''VideoGame/BioShock2'', [[spoiler:you run down a corridor right behind Eleanor to get to the escape sub before the charges are detonated that will hurl the entire complex into a deep sea trench. Then at the last corner the game changes to dramatic slow motion as Eleanor suddenly stops and it takes a moment for you to get around the corner to see the door blocked by lots of [[IncrediblyObviousBomb red crates and two gray boxes with blinking lights]].]] |
| 65 | * ''Franchise/BlazBlue'': |
| 66 | ** Rachel's familiar Gii gets this expression when Rachel's Astral Finish [[CounterAttack gets countered by]] Hakumen's. [[https://youtu.be/JiO7eQFK0_4?t=1m45s See 1 min 45 sec in this video]]. |
| 67 | ** Hazama gets his own in his ''CS'' gag reel, where he unwittingly winds up bathing in 100% Spanish Catnip. Tao and two Kaka kittens nom on him uncontrollably, Jubei wants to take in his scent deep before killing him, and Kokonoe wants to sharpen her claws on his chest; it's not until Kokonoe fully explains what his cat allergies are doing to him that the viewer realizes this is effectively the worst day in Hazama's life, and by the end of it all, every feline in Kagutsuchi ''wants'' him badly. [[AssholeVictim Run, fat boy, run!!]] |
| 68 | ** On a more serious note with Hazama, any time Celica appears in front of him is treated as this -- she has the power to suppress seithr, which interferes with the operation of ars magus and the Azure Grimoire, but whereas Ragna's is limited to the right side of his body, Hazama's Azure Grimoire ''is'' his body, so when she shows up, his bodily functions slow down to the point of incapacitation. Every time this happens, he screams for an immediate evac from Phantom. This is highlighted at the end of the ''Six Heroes'' story -- [[spoiler:Rachel and Trinity send a wave of illusory opponents at Terumi in order to draw him out and materialize his consciousness in the real world, whereupon Hakumen can kill him. In this story, at the time this happens, he is right next to Hakumen, Jubei, and the aforementioned Celica. He is justified for begging for an escape, because all he can do under those circumstances otherwise is [[BringMyBrownPants crap himself]] and [[KilledOffForReal await his inevitable doom]].]] |
| 69 | ** Ragna the Bloodedge often gets these a lot in gag endings, often coupled with a BigWhat, for plenty of good reasons. For example, he even gets one in Rachel's gag ending when Jin enters, having been attracted by the effects of the Spectacles of Eros. |
| 70 | --->'''Ragna''': Hey! Not you too?! And what's with those eyes? They're... heart-shaped...?! |
| 71 | * ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' evokes this more than once, such as the BossSubtitles for the final boss of "Dr. Ned's Zombie Island" |
| 72 | -->[[spoiler:Undead Dr. Ned. HOLY F***ING SHIT!!!!!]] |
| 73 | * ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'': |
| 74 | ** Fritz when he realizes [[SuperRugPull what Lance was doing with the carpet...]] |
| 75 | ** Also, Lance gets this look in the intro when he discovers that he has put Neurosis' "rage" in our hero's "average" and that Fritz is ordered to [[DisproportionateRetribution kill him for calling the mad scientist "average"]]. |
| 76 | * ''VideoGame/{{Breakdown}}'' has quite a few, but there's one that '''truly''' stands out. During the section in which Derrick is making his way through the underground [[spoiler: , after getting past the hallucination with [[EvilCounterpart enemy Alyx clones]],]] if you listen carefully, you'll notice a '''very familiar''' bgm playing, but just faintly, evades newly-implemented trip mines, proceeds to open a shutter and then opens a door... [[spoiler: then Derrick automatically turns around and [[TheDreaded Solus]] is shown to have been '''RIGHT BEHIND HIM''', holy shit...!]] |
| 77 | --> [[spoiler: '''Solus:''' "Object: Human. Hypothesis: Destination Nexus." (points at Derrick)]] |
| 78 | * General Lionwhyte gets two in ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend''. First, before the final Stage Battle against him, when he notices the sword Lars has levelled at his throat, and finally realizes that the resistance aren't just bumbling idiots and will actually ''kill'' him if they get the chance. Later, after the battle [[spoiler: when a mirror from his tower is about to fall on him, he attempts to stop it... only to shatter it instead and make it even more lethal. The look on his face reflected in the shards of mirror as he realizes just how badly he screwed up is priceless]]. |
| 79 | * ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'': |
| 80 | ** ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty4ModernWarfare'': |
| 81 | *** During the final gunfight, if you shoot Zakhaev's goons first, you'll have just enough time to see him spin around and give you a priceless "OH SHI-" look right before you shoot ''him.'' |
| 82 | *** Probably the BIGGEST OhCrap moment in all of Call of Duty happens as you assault Zakhaev's base (which is in fact a missile silo). You see a nuclear ICBM launch into the sky (remember, each of them has 6-12 high yield nukes in them...and they only take about 30 minutes to reach their target...and with no warning, it's unlikely to be stopped at all). And then [[FromBadToWorse ANOTHER ONE LAUNCHES.]] You've now got (maybe) 20 minutes to stop WorldWar3 and TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. |
| 83 | ** ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2'': |
| 84 | *** In multiplayer, scoring 25 kills in a single life will give you the Tactical Nuke killstreak. When it's deployed, the normally calm and collected announcers will scream that a nuke is inbound. Even the [[TheStoic Task Force 141 announcer]] is noticeably panicked. It's up to you to imagine the looks on their faces. |
| 85 | ----> ''TACTICAL NUKE, INCOMING!!!'' |
| 86 | *** You essentially get the same effect if the enemy should ever get an AC-130. The announcers tend to be calm and focused for most of the match until either a nuke or AC-130 appears. Especially the Spetsnaz announcer. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1m7u4WU2hs Listen for yourself.]] |
| 87 | *** There's also one instance during the campaign: When Price boards the Russian submarine all by himself and [[spoiler:launches an ICBM]], all that Ghost can do is helplessly scream ''"CODE BLACK! [[NukeEm CODE BLACK!!!]]"'' into the radio. |
| 88 | * ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'': |
| 89 | ** After defeating the Succubus in ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]'', she finally realizes that the guy whose [[MommasBoy mommy issues]] she tried to manipulate is, in fact, Dracula's badass rebellious son and that he is ''not amused''. The moment of total astonishment is just icing on the FateWorseThanDeath. |
| 90 | ** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow'' has a good one after defeating Cornell's human(-ish) first form. The camera cuts to him, hunched over and panting, with an expression that clearly says "how am I ''losing'' to this guy?!" |
| 91 | ** At the end of the DLC of ''Lords of Shadow'', when Gabriel steals the powers of [[GodOfEvil The Forgotten One]], the demon [[KnowWhenToFoldThem quickly yields]] and implores his better to [[AintTooProudToBeg have mercy]] upon him. {{Dracula}} [[CoupDeGraceCutscene has none]]. |
| 92 | * ''VideoGame/{{Chromehounds}}'': |
| 93 | ** There's the friendly ACV squad in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNDjnLBc0nI Sal Kari Unidentified Weapon's]] intro. The pilots know all too well what's going to happen after the Ghalib unfurls its massive missile silo. |
| 94 | ** Alexei Ismailov has one when he sees Carlos Nadal's Cerberus HOUND. |
| 95 | * ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' has periodic Oh Crap moments. |
| 96 | ** By far the most memorable are by Ozzie, who persistently tries to hinder the team's advance, and appears noticeably disturbed each time he realizes it hasn't worked. Twice in the game, this is augmented with the narrative comment "Ozzie's in a pickle!" |
| 97 | ** Guardia's Chancellor [[spoiler:who is actually the fiend Yakra in disguise]] also has some [[JawDrop visually striking]] Oh Crap moments, [[spoiler:at times when he's suddenly realized that his carefully-planned carefully-executed schemes have instantly unraveled before his eyes]]. |
| 98 | *** Case 1: Crono impales the Dragon Tank through a vital component and gets clear, and the Chancellor orders its repair. When it self-destructs, it blows up the part of the bridge he and his two flunkies are standing on, causing them to hang for dear life as a makeshift bridge for Crono and Lucca. |
| 99 | *** Case 2: The Chancellor and his flunkies corner Crono, Lucca, and Marle in a part of Guardia Forest. Rather than accept a trip back to jail (more proverbial than physical in Marle's case), the three of them jump into the nearby Gate instead. |
| 100 | *** [[spoiler:Case 3: The Chancellor orchestrated King Guardia XXXIII's trial with a forged document and a bribed merchant, even gaining a guilty verdict of four to one on the King. The decision was reversed almost instantly when Marle jumped through ''the fucking stained glass window'' and produced a shard of the Rainbow Shell, effectively imploding the plot in his face. This is a case of a RebelliousPrincess too wild for an EvilChancellor to control.]] |
| 101 | * ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'': |
| 102 | ** The first reaction enemies have to you entering their perception is a "turn and look" that lasts for one or two seconds before they start shooting. This can have a distinct "Oh Crap" effect when the player is able to get in a hit during the period of delay. One of many ''especially'' satisfying ways to accomplish it is [[DynamicEntry to use super-jump or teleportation to drop your character into the midst of a group of mooks and then use a player-based area-of-effect knockback attack to send them flying in all directions]]. |
| 103 | ** There's also a few scripted instances of this. In the Statesman's Task Force, Dr. Aeon gloats at you from a hidden room, explaining how you'll never escape from your predicament without getting the codes from the 4 Arch-Villains scattered through the zone. He then berates himself for telling you how to escape, and orders one of his goons to erase the recording they just made. The following exchange occurs: |
| 104 | --->'''Goon''': Uh, sir?\ |
| 105 | '''Dr. Aron''': What?\ |
| 106 | '''Goon''': You, uh, said you wanted to transmit this, uh... live.\ |
| 107 | ''[beat]''\ |
| 108 | '''Dr. Aeon''': AAAAAGH! Turn it off, TURN IT OFF! |
| 109 | ** Throne of Bhaal features one. As you invade the layer of the Drow Bhaalspawn Sendai, you are repeatedly shown cutscenes of Sendai with her lieutenants. Since by this point your character is easily one of the most powerful mortals on Faerun, when her captain stumbles in stuttering that it's ''you'' invading her layer and slaughtering her minions, she falls into an Oh Crap moment that just keeps on getting worse and worse as you leave more and more of her best minions in bloody pieces behind you. It doesn't truly stop until she's dead. |
| 110 | * ''VideoGame/ClockTower2'' has one in Chapter 2 if you're playing as Stan Gotts. When he's first ambushed he, being a police officer, draws his sidearm and puts [[FiveRoundsRapid Three Rounds Rapid]] into the killer. ''Scissorman gets right back up'' and [[ImplacableMan shrugs off the rest of Gotts' gunshots like they were nothing]]. Yes, Gotts, Scissorman really is a supernatural demonic mass-murderer who may not even be killable, so ''[[RunOrDie start running]].'' |
| 111 | * ''VideoGame/CompanyOfHeroes'': So you're cutting a swath through German lines with your [[TankGoodness M10s and Shermans]]...and then the Wehrmacht brings up ''their'' armor. To quote the Allied tank commanders: "Oh shit, that's a [[CoolTank TIGER!]]" Usually followed by frenzied commands of "Drive, driiiiive!" or, very frequently, [[StuffBlowingUp loud explosions]]. |
| 112 | * In ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot1996'', during the intro the ordinarily silent Crash lets out an "uh-oh" when he realizes he's run through one of the windows of Cortex's castle in an attempt to flee. |
| 113 | * Happens in ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'': [[spoiler:When Cuphead and Mugman face the Devil in the fight against him that starts up, they both get this reaction when the Devil gives out his DeathGlare that plays out [[OffWithHisHead what he will do to them]], and they both let out a terrifying scream in fright. This is the only battle intro when they get scared out of their wits instead of being prepped up for battle, though they quickly recover their HeroicResolve and fight like it's now or never.]] |
| 114 | * Seath the Scaleless in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' roars in fury and likely fear when he realizes that the player is within striking distance of his SoulJar. |
| 115 | * ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar: Dark Crusade'': |
| 116 | ** At the end of the Necron Headquarter map, their voice when [[spoiler:they realize you have planted a bomb]] is awesome. |
| 117 | --->[[spoiler:'''Necron Pariah:''' My Lord, the living have--''(KABOOM)'']] |
| 118 | ** Most times a stronghold is defeated there will be one of these, for example [[spoiler:Eliphas realising he's about to be on the receiving end of a YouHaveFailedMe]], or [[spoiler:the entire Tau army before they go into HeroicBSOD when their Ethereal dies, especially in ''Soulstorm'']]. |
| 119 | ** The Imperial Guard respond to coming up against Necrons with a terrified "Oh no...not ''them!''" Since most other enemies earn relatively calm phrases like "Orks are in the perimeter", this reinforces that Necrons are ''really bad news''. |
| 120 | * ''VideoGame/DeadRising2OffTheRecord'': Frank actually utters the words [[spoiler:after trying to get Chuck Greene's attention... and accidentally grabbing "Katey" by the leg. After the drunken and despondent Chuck had just made it clear how protective he was of her.]] |
| 121 | * At the end of ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'', [[spoiler:[[TheMole Kendra]]]] has just enough time to exclaim "Oh my God!" before the HiveMind smashes [[spoiler:her]] into paste. Isaac [[TheQuietOne doesn't talk much]] but judging by his body language, he's having the same thoughts |
| 122 | * In ''VideoGame/DeepRockGalactic'', the voice callouts for pinging a Bulk Detonator are all variations of this. Even when pinging Glyphid Dreadnoughts, the game's "official" boss encounters, the dwarves will be shouting advice on how to defeat it to each other. But a Bulk Detonator is a BossInMooksClothing with powerful attacks, burrowing abilities, and a death blast that can potentially wipe out an entire team, so the callout is useful to warn new players that they ''need'' to take this thing seriously. |
| 123 | -->'''Dwarf:''' Aw [[PrecisionFStrike SHITE!!]] [[TheDreaded Detonator!]] ''Repeat, Detonator!'' |
| 124 | * ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' sees this at the final cutscene when Marius realizes that the person he gave [[spoiler:Baal's]] soulstone to was actually [[spoiler:Baal]] himself. |
| 125 | * In ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'': |
| 126 | ** SmugSnake [[spoiler:Azuma]] assumes that he is TheChessmaster, and nonchalantly shrugs off a threat. Much to his shock, however, the one ''making'' the threat then proves he wasn't joking, causing [[spoiler:Azuma]] to almost piss his pants and inadvertently blurt out that [[spoiler:Naoya was ''supposed'' to make the [=COMPs=] incapable of harming 'ranking tamers', rendering them useless against the Shomonkai. Only... Naoya didn't.]] Ass-kicking follows. |
| 127 | ** In ''[[UpdatedRerelease Devil Survivor Overclocked]]'', we have these gems from [[TheLancer Atsuro]] and [[TheCaptain Izuna]] in Naoya's Good 8th Day scenario, after [[PhysicalGod Metatron]] appears before the heroes, rip shit ''pissed''. |
| 128 | --->'''Atsuro:''' Whoa... He... He's HUGE!\ |
| 129 | '''Izuna:''' I've seen angels before but, but that thing's just... it's another order of MAGNITUDE! |
| 130 | * ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'': Corvo might be TheQuietOne but his reaction to seeing the Outsider's mark on his hand says volumes. And performing an assassination on a main target leads to a slow-mo shot of Corvo grabbing them, them turning around, their Oh Crap face, and their death by sword through the chest. And it's unique to each target. |
| 131 | * In ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'', Diddy and Dixie's reaction to the appearance of bosses is having their [[EyePop eyes cartoonishly bug out of their head]]. Donkey Kong does it too during the final battle when K. Rool appears defeated only to get back up (At least the first two times...). During the final battle, if you get too close to K. Rool, your Kong will panic right as they see K. Rool [[PistolWhip smash them with the butt of his blunderbuss]] which costs you a Kong (or a life if it was your last one) while they get BlownAcrossTheRoom. |
| 132 | * In ''VideoGame/Doom3'', the space marine is pretty calm when blasting his way through hordes of demons. This changes in the last boss fight, where the expression on the marine's face transforms to one of utter terror when confronted by the fifty-foot tall Cyberdemon. Yes, if you notice the marine mouths the words "Oh shit" (Or Holy shit) just as the camera stares at the Cyberdemon's crotch-guard, and then at his face when the Cyberdemon roars. And to a lesser extent, ''Videogame/{{Doom}} 1'''s [[spoiler:Cyberdemon fight at the end of the second episode.]] |
| 133 | * ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' has this moment at the very end when [[spoiler: after bringing down the [[BigBad Spider Mastermind/Olivia Pierce's]] health to the point where you Glory Kill it, you literally ram the entirely of your BFG-9000 right into her mouth and, as the weapon charges, you look right at her face which makes an expression that can only be described as "oh...cra-!" right before you turn the entirely of her [[BrainMonster Brain body/head]] into [[ChunkySalsaRule a substance resembling borscht and canned dog food]].]] |
| 134 | * In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'': |
| 135 | ** The game provides a great moment in the Female City Elf origin: shortly after being kidnapped by Bann Vaughan for a "[[AttemptedRape party]]," the PC ends up in a back room, cornered by two guards who know that she's been trained as a warrior/rogue, about to be tied up for the ensuing atrocities. Then her cousin Soris shows up at the door and tosses her a sword; the guards look from Soris to the PC, and one of them mutters "Oh sod..." |
| 136 | ** In the cutscene at the beginning of the Battle of Ostagar, Cailan realizes that he underestimated the size of the Darkspawn horde. His expression says it all. |
| 137 | * Played straight so, so many times in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition''. |
| 138 | ** During a trip into the Fade, a helpful spirit will tell the Inquisitor that their only way out will be to defeat an extremely powerful spider demon (which you see upon first entering the sequence, and it's truly massive). [[SpidersAreScary The Inquisitor's]] response is a resigned "Well, ''shit.''" |
| 139 | ** Invoked in the name of the penultimate War Table loyalty mission for Varric: ''Well, Shit.'' |
| 140 | * In ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'', Zamasu has this reaction when Vegito fires his Final Kamehameha at him during their Dramatic Finish, just before the former is vaporized by the attack, screaming in pain all the while. |
| 141 | * ''VideoGame/Drakengard2'': Manah has an ''epic'' OhCrap moment when she first meets the one-eyed man [[spoiler: a.k.a. Caim]]. There's even an FMV devoted to it. |
| 142 | * ''VideoGame/{{DRL}}'', being a roguelike, occasionally announces a special level with a special message. One of these messages is "Suddenly you have a great urge to turn back! You scream in TERROR!", which means [[spoiler:[[MacrossMissileMassacre every single enemy in the level has been replaced by a CYBERDEMON]]]]. |
| 143 | * Despite being an unstoppable war machine, Horny from ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper 2'' gets a brief 'Oh Crap' moment when he first attacks a Stone Knight, and it just looks at him as his scythe bounces harmlessly off its neck. |
| 144 | * In ''VideoGame/DungeonsOfDredmor'', this will be your reaction when you open an otherwise normal door, only for the game to suddenly lag, which means [[TheWarSequence you just kicked open a monster zoo, and the game's having trouble loading the army which will be chasing you down shortly]]. |
| 145 | * With the morale rules in ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', your military will do this when particularly badly pummelled. Or slightly pummelled. Or as soon as the enemy shows up. It had to be tweaked extensively before militaries would stop running away immediately. The losing side will still flee in terror after a while, be it your military after getting stomped, goblins that saw their fellows get dismembered by traps before even seeing a dwarf, or even the more sentient megabeasts getting extensively injured for the first time in their lives. |
| 146 | -->''[[WelcomeToCorneria I must withdraw! I must withdraw! I must withdraw!]]'' |
| 147 | * ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'': "[[ThatOneBoss Lu Bu]] has entered the battlefield!" |
| 148 | * ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': One happens during the Patches questline. At the very end, when you return to Murkwater Cave, you will find Patches treasure chest. Opening it will have Patches shout out a threat and attack you just like he did before. Moments after the fight starts, he'll come to the horrifying realization that it's you. The same Tarnished who beat him before. The same Tarnished who fought his way through the Volcano Manor Requests. The same Tarnished who recently killed the owner of the manor. He immediately vocalizes his panic and gives up. If you spare him again, a dialogue with him later has him admitting that he should stop bandit work if only because he's terrified of running into you again. |
| 149 | * ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'': |
| 150 | ** Dagoth Ur from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' completely breaks down in a rather short amount of time. In the first encounter with him, he is calm, collected and quite civil, even to the point of carrying a rather lengthy conversation with the player character before fighting him. After Ur retreats, he becomes more noticeably annoyed, but remains confident in himself and berates the player-character for being foolish. It's only when the player-character begins removing the enchantments (that allow Dagoth Ur and the Tribunal to connect to it) from the Heart of Lorkhan that Dagoth Ur loses it. Considering that is one thing he never expected anyone to do, his breakdown is plenty justified. |
| 151 | ** In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', the first dragon you face screams [[BigNo "No!"]] when you strike the killing blow and he realizes that you are a Dragonborn, a mortal with a dragon's soul who has the power to permanently kill dragons by absorbing their souls. Another dragon roars in shock when you manage to trap him like a rat. Finally, [[spoiler:[[BigBad Alduin]] has a moment like this when you strike the final blow. He breaks down mentally as his body breaks down physically, protesting that he cannot die.]] |
| 152 | * In the opening to ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'', Mickey Mouse has this moment when he hears Yen Sid returning (after creating a monster AND spilling paint and thinner on another world) |
| 153 | * ''VideoGame/TheExpanseATelltaleSeries'': Cox has one when Drummer walks into the room while [[AttendingYourOwnFuneral he's holding a memorial service for her]] after attempting to MakeItLookLikeAnAccident. |
| 154 | * In ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'', during the Governer of Port Carnelian story an envoy from the Mithridate Office can offer you intelligence. If you pass the Watchful check, you can listen to what he says and ignore all of it in spite of it all sounding [[ConsummateLiar very believable.]] Until they mention the [[SarcasticConfession tiger's affinity for flame.]] You write down this one piece of accurate information, and the envoy realises you've not been paying him no attention - you've just worked out that everything else he told you was a lie. He then stutters, shuts up, and leaves. |
| 155 | * In ''VideoGame/Fallout3'': |
| 156 | ** [[spoiler:President Eden]] has one of these moments if you tell him you know his self-destruct code. He thinks you're bluffing. Your character then casually rattles it off. His (more or less) last words consist of a horrified and almost [[TearJerker heartbreaking]] "Oh! Oh... my." |
| 157 | --->'''Sarah Lyons''': Take cover! ''BEHEMOTH!!!'' |
| 158 | ** The raiders have rather amusing OhCrap moments should you toss a grenade their way. Or reverse pick pocketing-placing a grenade or land mine in their inventory instead of taking it out frequently followed with them noticing and exploding after yelling "fuck me" and "holy shit"-also they will jump up go rigid and then fall apart into arms and legs its a very odd explosion |
| 159 | * ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'': |
| 160 | ** Benny gets one in which confronting him about trying to kill you early-game and stealing the Platinum Chip, he sends you up to the Presidental Suite for a "chat" which turns into him ambushing you with four of his goons. After you kill them, this exchange can take place on the intercomm: |
| 161 | --->'''Benny:''' The cleaners will knock twice. Make sure they're thorough.\ |
| 162 | '''The Courier''': Yeah, it's a real mess up here - four bodies.\ |
| 163 | '''Benny:''' What the ''fuck''? |
| 164 | ** General Lee Oliver gets one of these at the Battle Of Hoover Dam when the walls fall down to reveal your army of upgraded Securitrons standing right behind him. Even better is if after you talk him down into simply retreating, in which he boast about [[TemptingFate how if he were in your shoes he would personally see you hang]], this exchange can happen. |
| 165 | --->'''Courier:''' I see. Yes Man, please throw General Oliver from the Dam.\ |
| 166 | '''Oliver:''' What the hell? No, get away from me, you goddamn TV on wheels! |
| 167 | ** With the "Terrifying Presence" Perk, sometimes the Courier simply has to announce who they ''are'', in order to provide this reaction. |
| 168 | ** ''Old World Blues''. Decide you aren't having the Think Tank's crap anymore. Watch as they spend the entirety of the fight crapping their [[BrainInAJar tanks]] in fear while fumbling with their weapons. |
| 169 | --->'''Klein:''' A... FIGHT? I... I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A FIGHT. WHAT... UH, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT DO I... ''AIIGGHGHH!'' COLLEAGUES! THINK TANK! ALERT! ALERT! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! |
| 170 | ** The BulletTime effect associated with V.A.T.S. kills in all three of the Bethesda games has a chance of combining this with SlowNo: enemies will occasionally moan "oooooo shiiiiit" as they die. |
| 171 | * ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': |
| 172 | ** Done rather marvelously in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV''; after [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption repeatedly failing to save the other crystals]] your party finally reaches a crystal that didn't shatter shortly after their arrival. Galuf finally recovers his [[LaserGuidedAmnesia memory]], and is reunited with his granddaughter, Cara/Krile. Then Lenna/Reina and Faris are reunited with their father, King Tycoon. So the crystal's secure and three of the party members were reunited with their loved ones... Things are looking up now, right? WRONG. After the final crystal shatters ''anyway'', giving the entire group a huge wake-up call, and the BigBad Exdeath makes his grand entrance, ominous entry scene, {{Leitmotif}} of Doom, EvilGloating, and EvilLaugh in all their full glory. Bartz muttering "Shit!" as the entire scene quickly goes downhill doesn't even ''touch'' how much of an OhCrap moment this was. |
| 173 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': |
| 174 | *** You can't see the infantrymen's faces, but it's pretty easy to imagine this look on their faces when Cloud brings out [[{{BFS}} whatever sword he happens to have equipped.]] |
| 175 | *** Cid gets one (his cigarette even falls out of his mouth) when the WEAPONS are flying out of the Northern Crater from the deck of the Highwind. |
| 176 | *** [[TheDreaded Sephiroth]] is probably responsible for causing half of these moments within the game itself, be it when he makes an appearance, does something horrible, or when the heroes discover the aftermath of something that got in his way. |
| 177 | ---->'''Cloud''': ''[upon discovering the impaled body of a giant Zolom]'' Did Sephiroth...do this? |
| 178 | *** Happens several times in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' movie ''[[Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren Advent Children]]'': |
| 179 | *** Cloud has a perfectly understandable moment when Sephiroth first appears, literally inches from Cloud's face. |
| 180 | *** Sephiroth gets one of his own when Cloud brings out the new and improved Omnislash. |
| 181 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' Squall after [[SugarAndIcePersonality feigning emotionlessness]] for a good portion of the game, and finally warming up to Rinoa, has a rather sharp wake call right about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXKAjJJ7iu8 here]] in Time Compression. Made worse by various [[WMG/FinalFantasyVIII interpretations of the scene]] [[spoiler: most notably [[http://squallsdead.com/ this]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svSCgA9BU0c theory]] about everything being a DyingDream]]. Regardless, whatever he sees during this montage freaks him out. |
| 182 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'': |
| 183 | *** The look on [[spoiler:Black Waltz No.3's face when he realizes that he's accidentally set his own airship on fire -- just before he crashes into the South Gate.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtMNgPOZTSQ]] |
| 184 | *** Queen Brahne's horrified expression a split second before [[spoiler:Bahamut incinerates her ship.]] |
| 185 | *** Kuja, upon realizing that Garland has arrived in the Invincible. |
| 186 | *** [[spoiler:Hades is the second-hardest OptionalBoss in the game. However, Ozma, the hardest, can be fought and defeated before you even meet Hades. Do so, and Hades has one of these moments right before the battle begins.]] |
| 187 | ** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', the look on your party's faces when [[spoiler:Galenth Dysley reveals himself to be the fal'Cie Barthandelus]] is this trope in its purest essence. For the first time in the entire game, ''all six'' of them are ''visibly terrified'', and considering some of the crap they've already been through up to this point, that's saying a ''lot''. |
| 188 | ** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXVI'', Clive becomes increasingly terrified as the boss fight with Titan progresses. |
| 189 | --->'''Clive:''' ''[as Kupka begins transforming into Titan]'' Oh shit! He's priming!\ |
| 190 | '''Clive:''' ''[as Titan goes OneWingedAngel]'' What the hell has he done!?\ |
| 191 | '''Clive:''' ''[witnessing Titan's OneWingedAngel form]'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Founder help me...]] |
| 192 | * In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'', [[spoiler:the Goddess of Order, Ashera, has turned all the world to stone and only your party and her chosen warriors sent to kill you are not. This isn't the Oh Crap moment though. That would be when Yune, the Goddess of Chaos goes to recruit more allies to your cause... And finds that Goldoa, land of the Dragons, and home to the single strongest and oldest living hero in the world, is completely empty...]] Tibarn says it best: |
| 193 | -->'''Tibarn:''' [[spoiler:If you're saying what I think you're saying, then we could have a very big problem. Lots of very big problems.]] |
| 194 | * In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpM1t1XyW1I Endless Nightmare]]" is this trope in musical form, playing whenever a unit is about to be killed; a very unpleasant proposition when one can be KilledOffForReal. It also plays during ''Birthright'' chapter 26 when [[spoiler:Xander puts the Avatar on the ropes at the start of their DuelToTheDeath]], and during ''Conquest'' chapter 25 when [[spoiler:Ryoma, tricked into believing that the Avatar killed Hinoka, attacks them and challenges them to a DuelToTheDeath]]. |
| 195 | * In ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFuckboys'', the current PlayerCharacter lets out a monotone "Oh shit!" every time they get into a {{Random Encounter|s}}. |
| 196 | * ''VideoGame/FreeSpace2'': |
| 197 | ** It takes a massive fleet-wide effort to coordinate the weakening and eventual destruction of the Shivan juggernaut ''Sathanas'', culminating in an epic slugfest between the NotQuiteDead ''Sathanas'' and the ''GTVA Colossus''. In your tiny fighter, you can only watch the titans slug it out, until the Colossus emerges - Battered, but victorious. [[spoiler: And then another, fresh Sathanas warps right in on top of the remains of the old one. Through a Subspace Jump Node that you had already collapsed. [[ClusterFBomb And more are on the way.]]]] |
| 198 | ** [[EnsembleDarkhorse Lt. Snipes]] has one later on, which he helpfully passes on to the player. [[spoiler: "DIVE DIVE DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!" And then you just barely dodge a speeding, screen-filling juggernaut jumping out just as you jump in. If you try to dodge in any direction except down as he tells you,]] your tiny little fighter will be crushed like a tin can in a trash compacter. |
| 199 | [[/folder]] |
| 200 | |
| 201 | [[folder:G-L]] |
| 202 | * Poor Prince Eonia in ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'' when he sees the light of the [[WaveMotionGun Chrono Break Cannon]] comming toward him all he can do is stand up and look horrified. Oh crap indeed. |
| 203 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Geist}}'', one of the possible death sounds for the standard soldiers. |
| 204 | * ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'': |
| 205 | ** ''Everyone Kratos meets and kills.'' Hell, [[SociopathicHero that's almost everyone Kratos meets]]. |
| 206 | ** At the very end of ''VideoGame/GodOfWarII'', [[spoiler: as Zeus is rallying his brothers and telling them that they can win the fight against this one mortal, there is a tremor. Then another. The marble bust of Zeus cracks, and its head falls to the floor, and shatters. The gods rush to the balcony, and the look of pure fear on Zeus's face at what he can see is intensely satisfying. The Titans, as strong as they were in the height of the great war, climbing their mountain, and on Gaia's shoulder, Kratos, the Blade of Olympus in hand and bloodlust on his mind.]] THE PROPHECY SHALL BE FULFILLED!!! AH HAH HAH HAH HAH! |
| 207 | --->'''Kratos:''' Zeus! Your son has returned. [[NoIndoorVoice I BRING THE]] [[LargeHam DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS!]] |
| 208 | ** ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'': Up until now, Baldur has been able to effectively NoSell most of what Kratos and Atreus can throw at him due to his invulnerability and HealingFactor. But by the climax of the game, [[spoiler:he's been BroughtDownToBadass courtesy of punching a mistletoe arrowhead, though he's no less of a threat]]. But when he manages to get the father-son duo in a two-handed lock, he takes his time monologuing instead of killing them. Cue Kratos activating his Spartan Rage and effortlessly breaking out of the hold and chucking the smug god like a football: |
| 209 | --->'''Baldur:''' What? NO! |
| 210 | ** Done to glorious effect during the course of Kratos' fight with Heimdall in ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok''. The SmugSnake god has spent every second of his screentime talking down to nearly everyone around him, boasting about his power of foresight and the invincibility it provides him. Then he meets the Ghost of Sparta and his fancy, new Draupnir Spear. Cue a conga line of utter humiliation as Heimdall not only receives his first wound to the face, but soon after [[AnArmAndALeg loses an arm]] and then his life because he could not even fathom the possiblity that he could lose to anyone. |
| 211 | * ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'': |
| 212 | ** ''The Lost Age'' has one at the end. [[spoiler:Alex is at the top of Mt. Aleph as the Golden Sun rises, preparing to receive godlike power. Then, [[PhysicalGod The Wise One]] shows up and explains how Alex's plan was doomed from the start. Alex is quite upset.]] |
| 213 | ** The sequel ''Dark Dawn'' has one at the end as well. [[spoiler: You start the game intending to investigate some magic-sucking holes in space, then forget about it about a quarter of the way in. [[HalfwayPlotSwitch While you've been distracted saving the world from something else, the vortexes have been growing off screen until the end]], forming a SequelHook.]] |
| 214 | ** Another one from ''Dark Dawn'' is when the entire cast realizes that [[spoiler:The Wise One had failed to kill [[BigBad Alex]] and he's been [[MagnificentBastard stringing them along]] [[TheChessmaster for the entire game]].]] |
| 215 | * ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'': Nearly every character in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWaO1B3PvYM Dizzy's Instant Kill]] in ''Revelator''. In short, Dizzy (a gentle girl who dislikes fighting) narrowly saves her opponent being a massive beam fired by Necro, a demonic entity who possesses one of her wings. The beam just misses and causes an explosive blast which forms a towering mushroom cloud behind the opponent, who turns to the camera with an expression which ''screams'' this. Sol gets HiddenEyes, Sin, Axl, and Elphelt get Shonen-style BlankWhiteEyes, Chipp just points at the explosion with his jaw dropped in disbelief, and a MirrorMatch Dizzy covers her mouth in shock and abject terror. |
| 216 | ** PlayedForLaughs in ''Xrd'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnb1cbJreN0 when Ky]] [[ExplainExplainOhCrap realizes]] that since [[ApocalypseMaiden Dizzy]] is his wife and also is Justice's daughter, that would mean [[spoiler:his long-time rival Sol Badguy is ''his father-in-law''.]] The two badass warriors of the series are reduced to screaming in mortal terror at the realization. |
| 217 | --->'''Johnny''': So... who won ''that'' shouting contest? |
| 218 | * Whenever you play Through the Fire and Flames on Expert in ''VideoGame/GuitarHero 3'', there's only two words that greet you on the loading screen: "Good Luck". And that's all they need to say, too. And on 3/25/11 Harmonix announced that it's DLC for [=RB3=], and with PRO GUITAR, no less. Better kiss those hands good-bye. |
| 219 | * These happen in ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'' at random; if you shoot a grenade at the marines, sometimes they'll yell "Oh, ''shit!''". Often times they can't complete their sentence, resulting in a CurseCutShort. Similarly, snipers in the ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' series will sometimes yell "Shit!" before a grenade you've thrown at them goes off. |
| 220 | ** At the end of the first chapter of ''Episode Two'' when you finally see what exactly is "snooping around out here". |
| 221 | ** Also in Episode 2, at one point you have to defend a room with four entrance tunnels, each with 3 warning lights that go off when antlions are coming through a tunnel to attack, indicating the amount by the number of lights. For most of the fight, you have to move your two auto-turrets and the two rebels assisting you to a new tunnel to defend. Then both of your turrets break down, and one tunnel gets three lights for the first time. Subverted, as it turns out to be your Vortigaunt allies, [[DoubleSubverted but then]] ''all three lights light up on all four tunnels''. |
| 222 | ** When you destroy the barn Advisor's generator, and instead of it dying, the pod opens and the Advisor inside psychically lifts you and Alyx into the air, immobilizing you so effectively that you can't even raise your weapon. |
| 223 | ** You're leisurely driving past the White Forest Inn, when suddenly your car smashes into a Combine forcefield. "It's a trap!" |
| 224 | ** The final Strider battle at the end of ''Episode Two'': |
| 225 | --->'''MIRT:''' Looks like that was the last one! ''[beat]'' ...Wait a minute. |
| 226 | ** In the final scene of ''Episode Two'', when you start seeing flashes of light as you enter the helicopter hangar. |
| 227 | * ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'': |
| 228 | ** The discovery of Delta Halo in ''VideoGame/Halo2''. The look (and reaction) of Johnson says it all. |
| 229 | ** In the first cutscene of ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'''s "Assault on the Control Room" level ("I Would Have Been Your Daddy..."), a Grunt guard, who has been checking up on his napping buddies, runs away shrieking as Foehammer's Pelican suddenly emerges from the control room air shaft. |
| 230 | ** Anytime [[spoiler: [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies the Flood]]]] make an appearance. |
| 231 | --->'''Arbiter:''' What is it? More Brutes?\ |
| 232 | '''Chief:''' '''Worse...''' |
| 233 | ** Anytime an enemy is hit by a sticky plasma grenade or unless more often or not, [[TakingYouWithMe an Elite or Brute will charge at the player to get them caught in the blast]]. |
| 234 | * ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'' has many but two of the most notable include Fiona taking a wrong step in a certain puzzle one too many times sees a crossbow fired at her direction that shows her giving this expression before it being implied going through her eye, another is hiding in a furnace from Daniella and Daniella both knows you are there and knows how to use said furnace... |
| 235 | * In ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'', Norman has one in the "Case Closed" ending, when [[spoiler: he sees tiny virtual tanks running around on his desk, but then he realizes, OhCrap! He's not wearing the glasses! He's actually probably insane now! Fade to black.]] This is also what [[RabidCop Lt. Blake]] would react when [[spoiler:Madison get pasts his roadblocks in "The Old Warehouse".]] |
| 236 | * In ''VideoGame/HorizonForbiddenWest'', [[spoiler:Aloy has this moment, when she visits Thebes, which is Ted Faro's personal bunker, in the ruins of San Francisco. The reason? She later uses her Focus to check the map of the facility... And she later sees a giant red growth that is covering the ''entire'' reactor room. To her utter horror, Aloy realises that ''this'' red growth is none other than Ted Faro, who has been alive but severely mutated into an unrecognisable MeatMoss after ''centuries'' of isolation, due to an uncontrollable cell mutation. Even Ceo, an obsequious follower of Ted, could only look at disgust of what was once Ted Faro. Not to mention, the ''fleshy'' sounds he made when Ceo went inside.]] |
| 237 | * In ''VideoGame/InFamous'': |
| 238 | ** Cole has one of these moments the first time he faces against a Dustman Golem. |
| 239 | -->'''Cole''': (seeing Alden's [[OneWingedAngel boss form]]) "''Holy shit...''" |
| 240 | ** In the sequel, when Cole first fights the Behemoth. |
| 241 | ** In the second game's DLC "Festival of Blood" ending, Zeke reacted like this when he realised [[spoiler: the lady hes been sharing the whole vampire story with was actually one herself.]] |
| 242 | -->'''Zeke''': "''Aw shit...''" |
| 243 | ** Also when Zeke and Cole see [[spoiler: the Beast survive a nuke to the face, only to explode in their faces, then continue his rampage.]] |
| 244 | * Green Arrow does this twice in ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs''. Once when Green Lantern is knocked out by the door that's blown off its hinges by Killer Frost, and again when Green Arrow is grabbed by Solomon Grundy. Both times, he says, "Oh, shit!" |
| 245 | * ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'': |
| 246 | ** [[KnightTemplar Veger]] has this look on his face near the end of ''VideoGame/Jak3Wastelander'', right when he puts two and two together: [[spoiler: He was bathed in a light that would turn him into a Precursor... Precursors are ottsels... therefore, he will be turned into an-- [[KarmicTransformation POINK]]!]] |
| 247 | ** The part in ''VideoGame/JakXCombatRacing'', when Jak realizes [[spoiler: Jak's weapons aren't working]]. In the middle of a race. One can only imagine Daxter's reaction. |
| 248 | * ''Videogame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' provides handy visual feeds of your kerbonauts on the corner of the screen, and while the cowardly ones will probably scream the entire trip, the braver ones will stay calm until something goes horribly, ''horribly'' wrong. It also occurs in the "Kerbal Space Program 1.0 Launch" promotional video. |
| 249 | * In ''VideoGame/KillingFloor'', this happens way more than one would expect. Whenever you see a Flesh Pound and, to a lesser extent, the Scrake. Then after you defeat all 10 waves, here comes Patriarch. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY CHILDREN?" and "EVERYTHING"S EASIER WHEN YOU HAVE A ROCKET LAUNCHER FOR AN ARM." In fact, when the Patriarch cloaks, it's the eye of the storm. You wait. He could come at any second. Will he go for you or your team mates? I don't know if I can-OH GOD HE SPAWNED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME I'M DEAD. |
| 250 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Killzone}} 3'', the BigBad has an epic one after [[spoiler: you fire a nuke at his flagship]]: |
| 251 | -->'''Stahl''': Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! |
| 252 | * ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': |
| 253 | ** Xehanort/Ansem in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' had a good laugh in the final battle about the naïve little kid, who was trying to tell him, that there was light behind his beloved Door to Darkness. He, however, stopped laughing as soon as the aforementioned door unleashed a massive load of pure light against him, leaving him shouting: "[[ThisCannotBe LIGHT? But-But]] ''[[ThisCannotBe why?]]''" as he realizes that he's about to be destroyed by the very thing he has been hunting for the past decade. |
| 254 | ** Master Xehanort in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' is extremely smug throughout the entire game, except for one part at the end. [[spoiler:After committing GrandTheftMe on Terra, Xehanort walks off only to be attacked by Terra's AnimatedArmor that has come to life out of his utter hatred for Xehanort.]] |
| 255 | -->[[spoiler: '''Terra-Xehanort:''' "Your body submits, your heart succumbs -- so why does your mind RESIST?"]] |
| 256 | ** Yen Sid gets one in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'', when he and Mickey are pondering whether Xehanort could interfere with Sora's and Riku's test. |
| 257 | -->'''Mickey''': Gee, do you really think it's possible that Xehanort could have planned things ''that far'' in advance?\ |
| 258 | '''Yen Sid''': No, as a matter of fact, I do not. [...] Even Xehanort cannot transport his body across vast reaches of time.\ |
| 259 | '''Mickey''': Oh... oh no! Xehanort ''did'' give up his body! It was a version of him that [[spoiler:was possessing Riku]]!\ |
| 260 | '''Yen Sid''': ''[eyes widen in horror]'' No! It cannot be! |
| 261 | ** The Platinum Cup in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' '''definitely''' counts. For those familiar with the Final Fantasy series, they'll assuredly be wondering just what foe awaits in the Platinum Cup, for those unaware, the "Platinum" in "Platinum Cup" is quite the clear giveaway, for once Sora arrives, he witness a strange magical phenomenon occur, and once it concludes the back of a certain '''[[LivingLegend well-known]]''' someone is shown[[spoiler:, as well as a certain '''unmistakable''' singular wing on said back...]] Those that know the Final Fantasy series well enough will '''clearly''' know who it is from the back alone, for the opponent Sora fights [[spoiler: is none other than freakin' '''[[TheDreaded Sephiroth]] himself...!''']] For first-timers that know this character, this'll set off quite the few internal alarms, for '''very good reason'''... |
| 262 | * In ''VideoGame/KingdomsOfAmalurReckoning'', Gadflow's eyes widen and his mouth falls open in shock and terror when he finally sees [[spoiler:his "goddess" Tirnoch]] for the first time in the flesh. [[spoiler:He likely wasn't expecting Tirnoch to be a gigantic and fearsome dragon.]] |
| 263 | * ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': |
| 264 | ** In ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Ultra'', the intro to Milky Way Wishes explains, "In this game, Kirby can't copy the abilities of his enemies!" [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110610110043/kirby/en/images/6/6a/KSSU_MWW_caveat.png His reaction]] is hilarious to behold. |
| 265 | ** When the characters of ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' learn that [[spoiler:Magolor has been manipulating them the entire time to obtain the Master Crown from Landia, at which point he dons it and becomes incredibly powerful,]] Dedede's face is priceless. |
| 266 | ** Dedede wears the same expression again in ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' when Queen Sectonia makes her entrance, before proceeding to use Kirby as a shield. |
| 267 | ** Happens in ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' when he sees the Access Ark descending upon Popstar in the opening cutscene. Also done collectively by the [[spoiler: Dedede clones]] in a fourth-wall breaking manner when they realize the D3 cannon they're riding is about to blow. |
| 268 | * In the finale of the Dead Air campaign in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', the survivors see an airplane approaching the airport extremely low. Said airplane crashes into the ground, breaks into many pieces, and basically explodes upon impact. The survivors basically go "holy shit..." upon seeing the crash. |
| 269 | * ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'': |
| 270 | ** During the intro trailer, right after the survivors make it through a rather clingy horde of infected and into an elevator, Ellis' face mirrors despair and fear, as he exclaims "Holy shit!". The camera pans out to show the big Zombie-infested hall into which they're descending. |
| 271 | ** The Tank and Witch have survivors get extremely nervous if they encounter them; a Witch can instantly incapacitate a survivor in one hit while a Tank can [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom send survivors flying in a single punch]] and can also send large objects like cars and dumpsters flying at them. |
| 272 | ** Halfway through the third map of The Parish campaign, the survivors run into a car lot whose cars are ''all'' alarmed. The survivors go quiet upon seeing it and warn each other to watch their aim. All it takes is one stray bullet to hit a car, which will set the alarm off and alert the horde. |
| 273 | * ''VideoGame/LegacyOfAThousandSuns'': The flavor text for the tactic "Killing Field" reads ''"The best part is the look on their faces when they realize they're {{doom|yDoomsOfDoom}}ed..."'' |
| 274 | * ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'': |
| 275 | ** Moebius spends the entirety of the series as the SmugSnake to end all {{Smug Snake}}s. Being TheOmniscient, he can see that all his schemes are going to work, and if Kain or Raziel try to stop him, he can give the former a heart attack with his staff, and disable the latter's Reaver. [[spoiler: That is, until Kain comes back from the dead... again. [[NotSoOmniscientAfterAll Moebius is completely caught off guard,]] and since Kain's heart was ripped out, he has absolutely no way to stop him. The look on Moebius' face the whole time is priceless.]] |
| 276 | -->Kain: First your omniscience, and now your powers. You're slipping ''badly.'' |
| 277 | ** Kain gets one himself in Defiance: after having lived thousands of years, and spent most of those years plotting and snarking, he's left nearly speechless when [[spoiler: Raziel allows himself to be absorbed by the Soul Reaver, allowing him to see the Elder God. Just realizing what his true enemy is, and what he sentenced Raziel to when he killed him, gives Kain the only dumbfounded look we've ever seen cross his face.]] Then, [[UnstoppableRage he gets angry...]] |
| 278 | ** Moebius' reaction to [[spoiler:Kain's revival and newfound immunity to his power]] pales in comparison to his sheer horror [[spoiler:when he finally sees the true horrifying form of the Elder God.]] |
| 279 | * So you've just beaten the final boss of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky''. Estelle and Joshua are enjoying the victory celebration at the end, and you're getting ready to see the credits roll. [[BigBad Oh, it's that absent-minded archaeologist you kept running into]] [[FromBadToWorse coming to say hi to Joshua]] -- [[BlatantLies how cute]]! |
| 280 | * ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': |
| 281 | ** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'', after you beat the boss from the fifth dungeon onward, the enemies suddenly panic. They know Link is getting close to waking up the Wind Fish and triggering the inevitable DreamApocalypse. |
| 282 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': Link's facial expression rarely changes from that determined frown, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness but when it does...]] |
| 283 | *** The first time would be during his NightmareSequence at the start of the game, when Ganondorf is about to blast him with his magic. It happens again later, when they meet for real. |
| 284 | *** Before the final boss battle, Link watches the King of Evil he seemingly killed [[OneWingedAngel transform into a gigantic monster called Ganon]], which then proceeds to knock the only weapon capable of killing it out of Link's hands to land outside the ring of fire surrounding the battlefield. |
| 285 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': |
| 286 | *** The Deku Scrub guards in the Deku Palace become terrified of the [[BewareTheNiceOnes Deku Princess]] once she starts beating up her father for torturing her monkey friend, and shake in place when she turns at them [[SuppressedRage with a furious expression]] and demands that they release the monkey immediately. |
| 287 | *** Even Link has one once the [[BodyHorror Gibdo Man]] makes an appearance. |
| 288 | *** [[DemBones Igos du Ikana]] has one after Link burns the curtains off, allowing [[WeakenedByTheLight light]] to enter his throne room. |
| 289 | *** Tatl has one. After defeating the Skull Kid, she starts going on about how much of an idiot he was. An offscreen voice agrees with her, and she emphatically continues, thinking it's the Skull Kid coming to his senses, until she realizes it's ''Majora's Mask'' -- the thing she basically thought was just an ''accessory'' -- that is speaking. She may be a glowing ball of light, but you just ''know'' that if she had a visible face, it would have a major Oh Crap expression. And it only intensifies after Majora merges with the Moon and tries to crash it into Termina by force, which leaves the Four Giants visibly struggling to hold it in place. |
| 290 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': |
| 291 | *** Link has quite a few of these moments. The first of them is when he is about to be literally catapulted to the interior of Forsaken Fortress. The second is when he retrieves his sword in said fortress but then he gets trapped in a small battle arena where he has to fight a Bokoblin. The third is when Ganondorf tells him that the Master Sword lost its power. |
| 292 | *** Even the [[FeatheredFiend Helmaroc King]] has one. During the beginning of the game, Tetra's crew catapults multiple boulders at him from their ship as he flies away, because he kidnapped Tetra. After several misses, the King looks back at the ship, causing his [[JawDrop beak to open wide]], because he realizes that a boulder is about to smack him in the face. ''[[ThatsGottaHurt It does]]''. |
| 293 | ** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': |
| 294 | *** Link gets one when he finishes off Morpheel, gets warped to Lanayru Spring, turns around, and...[[spoiler:[[DiabolusExMachina walks right into Zant]]]]. Right after that, Midna gets one right before [[spoiler:[[WeakenedByTheLight getting hit with a blast of light from Lanayru]]]]. |
| 295 | *** [[spoiler:Ganondorf]] does this in the end right after he realizes that [[spoiler:the Triforce of Power, which had saved him the first time he had been impaled isn't working anymore]]. As well as when [[spoiler: he dies when he sees a maskless Zant (probably as a near-death hallucination), who kills him by ''[[NeckSnap snapping his own friggin' neck!]]'']] |
| 296 | ** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'', Link has a ''priceless'' reaction when, in the midst of his skydive down to the surface, he realizes that [[spoiler:Groose is diving after him - without anything to use as a parachute]]. |
| 297 | * In ''VideoGame/LifeTheGame'', some of the losing endings have the player character make an 'uh-oh' face before the game over message. |
| 298 | * ''VideoGame/LordMonarch'': In story mode in sega version emotions can be often seen in dialogues, especially when they feel awful or something bad happens. In gameplay, every kings have their face shown as status. They get worried or surprised if their energy is low. |
| 299 | * Episode 3 in ''VideoGame/LostPlanet 2'' is just about full of these moments. Especially near the end [[spoiler: just after you've escaped a town infested with both a massive amount of snipers and some medium-huge akrid on train, you meet another MUCH BIGGER train with a pretty massive railway-gun on it. Then when you board it your train gets rocket'd. Then after you've successfully killed every last Snow Pirate on the enemy train, the biggest Akrid you've seen up to that point (a humongous worm that actually ate your first train) comes rushing in from the back, wanting to eat this train as well. The moment it emerges from the sand is really just... "Oh Crap!" And THEN you kill it and find that your hometown has been covered under snow because an even bigger akrid (seriously, this thing's a MOUNTAIN!) has absorbed all the heat in the area... Yeah...]] |
| 300 | * In ''VideoGame/LuckBeALandlord'', Gamblers will quickly exclaim "Oh, no!" when you roll a 1 with any die symbol, as this heralds their destruction. |
| 301 | * In addition to featuring similar bytes for bonus bosses and high level monsters, ''VideoGame/LuminousArc'' features -strategic- Oh Craps. The characters will inform you, in varying shades of worry, if the enemy is going to do something nasty on its turn, and ignoring their warnings can quickly lead to disaster. |
| 302 | [[/folder]] |
| 303 | |
| 304 | [[folder:M-R]] |
| 305 | * ''VideoGame/MadFather'': |
| 306 | ** Aya has one during a flashback in the TrueEnding, when we revisit an earlier exchange of Father and Maria's. |
| 307 | --> '''Father:''' ...She is my most precious... [[spoiler:Doll of them all]]. |
| 308 | ** Aya gets it even worse when she sees another flashback, this time of Father [[spoiler:burying a knife in Mother's chest]]. And this all culminates with the biggest OhCrap of all; after this information is revealed to Aya, she wakes up... ''right beside Father''. |
| 309 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'' has several of these strewn across the games. |
| 310 | ** The most notable being [[spoiler: Shepard's expression when debris of Sovereign comes flying into the tower.]] |
| 311 | ** If you tell the Fifth Fleet not to save the ''Destiny Ascension'', but to focus on Sovereign, the asari commander of the ''Ascension'' gets one of these when the Alliance stops answering their hails. |
| 312 | ** Saren has a little one on Ilos, when he sees the ''Normandy'' swooping in and the Mako flying towards him. |
| 313 | ** The neutral conversation choice when warning Rana that you're about to nuke the facility has a priceless reaction. |
| 314 | --->'''Shepard''' I'm gonna blow this place to hell and gone. If you want to make it out alive, you'd better start running.\ |
| 315 | '''Rana''': What!? You can't- But I'll never- Ah! ''[runs]''\ |
| 316 | '''Garrus''': You enjoyed that, Commander. |
| 317 | ** During Miranda's loyalty mission, you have an opportunity to pull off a Renegade [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TgTLJXoD_o&fmt=22#t=3m18s interrupt]] while facing off against a group of Eclipse mercenaries. It involves Shepard casually snapping the neck of the mercenary squad's commander, Miranda gunning down the man's second and a couple of his buddies, and Shepard shooting a well-placed crane carrying an explosive crate that wipes out most of the rest of the squad. The only surviving mercenary is a shocked salarian with a ''priceless'' "holy ''shit!''" look on his face. |
| 318 | ** Also, [[spoiler: the Collector General at the end of the second game. The ending cinematic has it looking around with an expression of sorrow and fear as Harbinger releases control and the base begins to explode around it. If an expressionless bug alien could make an OhCrap face, that would be it.]] |
| 319 | ** Garrus uses this word for word during his loyalty mission when a pair of [[HumongousMecha YMIR mechs]] arrive on the scene. And again during the mission on Sur'Kesh during ''Mass Effect 3''. Shepards opens a door to an elevator, and finds a bomb inside. Garrus invokes this trope by name while the party backs away. |
| 320 | ** Mouse's reaction on discovering that both Thane ''and'' Shepard are standing behind him. Immediately lampshaded when Thane informs Mouse that he can change his pants afterwards. |
| 321 | ** If [[spoiler: Ronald Taylor]] is abandoned by his would-be rescuers and left to face the consequences of almost a decade of exploitation, he's wearing this expression... just before the first of the hunters jumps him. |
| 322 | ** Near the end of ''[=ME2=]'', [[spoiler:when the Collectors board the Normandy]], Joker's lines throughout the entire mission to [[spoiler:give EDI control of the Normandy and [[ThrownOutTheAirlock throw the Collectors out the airlock]]]] consist almost entirely of ''"Shit, shit, shit, shit!!!"'' |
| 323 | ** A bit further in, when the ''Normandy SR-2'' makes the jump through the Omega-4 Relay to hit [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon the Collector Base]], Joker lets out a perfect "Oh, ''shit''!" as the ''instant'' the ship comes out of FTL there's a massive wall of starship debris ''right there in the ship's immediate path''. |
| 324 | ** Major Coats' face says it all in the teaser for ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' as he's hit with a Reaper spotlight. Cue a rapid pan out above London to see not a single but ''eight'' Reapers descending on the city. |
| 325 | ** Lampshaded in the Overlord DLC, when [[spoiler: the satellite dish comes crumbling down on Shepard & Co's heads,]] in a moment that manages to radiate this trope even when wearing, for example, the Blood Dragon armour (which conceals Shepard's entire head). As Shepard put it... |
| 326 | --> '''Shepard''': [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You've]] ''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe got]]'' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe to be kidding me.]] |
| 327 | ** She gets over it quickly, but Tela Vasir in "Lair of the Shadow Broker" was genuinely expecting Shepard, particularly a Paragon Shepard, and his/her squadmates to put their weapons down for the sake of her hostage. She's visibly taken aback when this doesn't happen. Even if it's a bluff, it provides a window to hit Tela from behind with a ''table''. [[ImplacableMan Not that it slows her down all that much.]] |
| 328 | ** There's one in the Arrival DLC. Some people get the jump on Shepard, then pump him/her full of sedatives. Unfortunately for them, Shepard's cybernetic implants also grant 'em AcquiredPoisonImmunity, and the base personnel are horrified to discover that they have to ''increase the dosage'' every couple of hours just to keep Shepard under. Eventually the sedatives stop working altogether and s/he wakes up '''''pissed'''''. One scientist sees this and gets absolutely terrified, especially once s/he punches out both guards in the room effortlessly. |
| 329 | --> '''Scientist''': Oh shit, the sedatives aren't working. SECURITY!!! |
| 330 | ** Shepard has one when s/he sees [[ArtifactOfDoom Object Rho]], and begins to realize what's actually going on. |
| 331 | ---> '''Shepard:''' You have the ''Reaper artifact'' just sitting here? ''Out in the open''?! Kenson...''this is not good''. |
| 332 | ** Later on, a lone mook has a particularly good one. |
| 333 | --> '''Project Guard:''' I have Shepard stuck in the vents, s/he's not going anywhere. *Sees Shepard* SHEPARD'S OUT! GET ME SOME BACKUP! |
| 334 | ** In the multiplayer mode for Mass Effect 3, the Cerberus troops shout "Krogan!" when they see one charging into melee range. As well as such gems as "They're ''horrible''!" and the Combat Engineer's panicked "I need support!" - or the frantic [[TheUnintelligible squawking]] of the Nemesis. Hard to blame them, considering that the [[HeroOfAnotherStory N7 Special Ops.]] routinely face odds that [[PlayerCharacter Shepard]] only ever faces in the endgame of each title. Another common one however is on Reaper maps, when allied forces will nervously yell "[[ThatOneBoss BANSHEE!]]" after hearing that [[HellIsThatNoise high-pitched scream]] in the distance. Or a [[BubbleBoy quarian]] male's or [[BadassAdorable volus']] nervous cry of "Geth Prime!" when being played as by someone else. |
| 335 | ** Halfway through being converted into another [[SuperpoweredMooks Banshee husk]], [[spoiler: Rila]] reveals that she's holding the detonator to a bomb... and [[TakingYouWithMe she's just pressed the trigger]]. Cue an open-mouthed gape of horror from the Banshee that was converting her; yep, [[spoiler: Rila]] just made a ''husk'' feel fear! |
| 336 | ** During the Mars mission in ''Mass Effect 3'', Shepard meets a group of Cerberus troops that are clearly aware of [[TheDreaded Shepard's reputation]]. Even more impressive since we later discover they are [[BrainwashedAndCrazy heavily indoctrinated]] and can barely think for themselves, meaning that Shepard literally ''is'' so terrifying even indoctrination isn't enough to stop the fear of them! |
| 337 | -->'''Trooper''': HOLY SHIT! IT'S ''SHEPARD''!! |
| 338 | ** On the final Rannoch mission, you are dispatched to blow up a Reaper broadcasting device. You use a targeting laser to call in the Normandy for an airstrike, [[spoiler:and then you find out that you just woke up a Reaper]]. Then the Reaper has a subtle one after Shepard defeats it by ''charging at it on foot''. |
| 339 | --> '''Reaper''': [[AC: Shepard?]] |
| 340 | --> '''Shepard''': You know who I am? |
| 341 | --> '''Reaper''': [[AC: Harbinger speaks of you.]] |
| 342 | ** When Kai Leng tells his gunship to "target the supports" of the temple on Thessia, Shepard gets a ''full-body'' OhCrap moment, drawing up his/her gun, backing away and then trying to make a run for it. |
| 343 | ** How many times does ''Shepard'' get this? Well in a romance with Garrus the Citadel DLC has him drag her onto the dance floor. The entire galaxy knows Shepard can't dance, and when he does she looks terrified. |
| 344 | ** Shepard gets another one during the final mission on Earth, just as it seems they've cleared out all obstacles, Anderson gets a communique that ''Harbinger'' is on the way... personally. Shepard's tone of voice when responding to this has a general, resigned sound of "Well, ''shit''." |
| 345 | ** You get to take another turn causing these reactions in your enemies in the Citadel DLC. The CAT-6 mooks you're fighting crap their pants when they realise that your force contains (depending on survival rates in past games and the DLC you've installed) a MemeticBadass vigilante, a [[BloodKnight krogan]] battlemaster, and even potentially a ''[[{{Precursors}} Prothean]]'', and their boss doesn't expect them to survive, just slow you down. Also, because they're jamming messages so you can't contact help, ''they can't contact help, either''. Gets even more satisfying when they realize that all of these other people barely register as ''nuisances'', much less threats when compared to [[PlayerCharacter Shepard]]. |
| 346 | --> '''CAT-6 Merc #1''': Why did [[spoiler:s/he]] say "Slow him/her down"? We're allowed to kill Shepard if we have to, right? |
| 347 | --> '''CAT-6 Merc #2''': [[spoiler:S/he]] said slow him/her down because [[spoiler:s/he]] thinks we're ''cannon fodder''. |
| 348 | --> '''CAT-6 Merc #1''': Oh. Well, shit. |
| 349 | ** On the other side of that DLC, a number of your teammates -- most notably Garrus and Vega -- get this reaction should EDI be accompanying you to reclaim the Normandy, causing her to be temporarily shut down when the villains shut down her shipboard processor. |
| 350 | ---> '''Vega''': "Oh, shit." |
| 351 | ---> '''Garrus''': [[[{{Beat}} flexes his mandibles for a second]]] ''Crap.'' |
| 352 | * There's a beautiful OhCrap moment in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9VBrPREN4Y teaser trailer]] for ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 5''. Its 3015, and the view-point character is piloting a ''Warhammer'', which is a good, solid, heavy mech, but not the biggest. After taking down a light ''Jenner'' mech with little effort by collapsing the building it was standing on, the viewpoint character rushes into the ensuing dust cloud, not noticing some movement on the other side of the cloud. A few seconds in, the ''Warhammer'' stops on account of having run into something. Staring down a wall of unrecognizable metal, the pilot pans the camera up...and realizes he's staring up at [[spoiler:a skull-faced ''Atlas'', which is ''the single biggest baddest Mech of the era and fully capable of taking him to pieces''.]] [[spoiler: It does. The Warhammer pilot ejects after being brutalized, his mech's computer [[EjectEjectEject warning of critical damage to internal systems]]. The pilot's EjectionSeat launches him straight up, and his parachute brings him straight down. He looks down just in time to see his Mech's [[FromBadToWorse ammo bays explode below him]].]] |
| 353 | ** On the other hand [[spoiler:the bird's eye view from the probe he launched seconds earlier clearly shows two mechs and its fairly obvious that the ''Atlas'' was one of the scary heavyweight assault mechs, the skull face itself is visible, so the OhCrap is a result of the pilot forgetting about the second mech and not recognising the largest mass-produced humanoid chassis in the Battletech timeline. TooDumbToLive most definitely.]] |
| 354 | ** In a CallBack to the ''VideoGame/MechWarrior3'' intro (see below), [[spoiler: the ''Atlas'' pilot realizes too late that the 'Mech he'd just wasted is about to go critical right in his face. He already has his 'Mech in full reverse by the time the ''Warhammer'' pilot looks back down.]] |
| 355 | ** Opening cinematic for the first VideoGame/MechCommander. Light squad of Inner Sphere mechs is scouting an urban environment, when out steps a Clan Mad Cat -- a 75-ton assault machine somehow undetected by the Raven scout mech whose entire purpose is sensor recon. The Mad Cat pilot wastes no time, disposing of the second-heaviest IS mech with his first barrage. Commands from overhead result in everybody except the Raven pilot running for their lives, as the VideoGame/MechCommander's superiors watch in confusion. The Raven is instructed to GET THE MAD CAT'S ATTENTION. The Raven pilot follows orders and unleashes his scout mech's weapons against the Mad Cat, a move that does almost nothing except piss off the Mad Cat pilot, which turns to face him. Cue background-stretching perspective shot and, "...I've got his attention, sir..." as the Raven pilot realizes he's staring down the guns of a Mech that is double his weight, almost as fast, and had already effortlessly wiped out one teammate. The VideoGame/MechCommander leads the Raven into a dead end while fleeing the pursuing Mad Cat. [[spoiler:It was a distraction to give the rest of the squad a chance for tactical movement and a clear shot at the Mad Cat's back. The Mad Cat falls for it, tunneling on pursuing the Raven and getting shot in the back before he can deliver a coup de grace. Of course, a well-trained Clanner would have been slow to remember that while Clanners like samurai-style duels, Spheroids are {{Combat Pragmatist}}s.]] |
| 356 | ** ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 3'' provides a couple on both sides for its introduction. For the Inner Sphere, there's Ground Commander watching one of their ''Firefly'' Mechs go down [[OneHitKill in a single shot]] and the ''Atlas'' pilot's reaction to the ''Mad Cat'' GoingCritical. For the Clan Smoke Jaguar Mechs, the aforementioned ''Atlas'' showing up out of nowhere to surprise the ''Mad Cat'' and the realization that there's two-score missiles coming straight for your cockpit for the ''Thor''. |
| 357 | ** ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 2'' had two particularly notable ones. The first was from the intro to Ghost Bear's Legacy. A Vulture, a 60 ton Clan mech that's geared for skirmishing at long range, is marching through a barren snowfield and sends a radio message informing his base that there's nothing out there. Then he picks up a heat signature but can't tell where it is. The snow drift directly in front of him suddenly explodes, revealing a massive mech, at which point the Vulture pilot screams "Kodiak, base, Kodiak!" and when told that reinforcements are en route responds with "neg, base, I need reinforcements NOW!!!" In the intro to Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries, your commanding officer has one when she's heading back to your dropship only to hear the dropship captain say that he's getting the hell out of there and see the dropship's door begin to close as the ship blasts off for space. She shouts that she needs more time, but the dropship captain tells her that she's out of time because he's not getting paid enough to die. |
| 358 | * ''Franchise/MegaMan'' series: |
| 359 | ** ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'': Some Robot masters in ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'' when you use their respective weaknesses against them. Tengu Man realises his predicament and tries to free himself, Clown Man [[IWantMyMommy screams for his mother]] while trying to free his body, and [[MultipleHeadCase either one]] of Search Man's heads would curse "[[PrecisionFStrike G*dd*mn!]]" or scream a BigNo. |
| 360 | ** ''VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman'': Ra Moon can only respond with complete shock after Mega Man manages to take down Ra Devil in a single blast. |
| 361 | -->'''Ra Moon:''' H... How..? |
| 362 | ** ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'': Zero actually has a subtle tone of panic in his voice when he believes he's going up against multiple enemies at once: like when the remaining three Guardians decided to face him together near the end of ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZero1 Zero 1]]'', or his first encounter with the Einherjar Eight and Commander Craft in ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZero4 Zero 4]]''. |
| 363 | * Raiden in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'' gets an "Oh, crap" moment himself when he encounters Fortune, a terrorist that can't be shot due to bullets being manipulated to wiz by her and grenades that turn into duds if used against her. She also carries a powerful railgun. |
| 364 | * Enemy {{Mooks}} in ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'' tend to react like this when [[EnemyChatter they're talking to each other]] and then see [[OneManArmy you]]. |
| 365 | * ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'': |
| 366 | ** ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'': It's easy to miss, but during Samus' RoaringRampageOfRevenge following the Baby Metroid sacrificing itself to save her life and give her the Hyper Beam, if you stop shooting at Mother Brain for a minute, she's noticeably moving and shooting ''far'' more frantically than she was before, [[CurbStompBattle as she's come to realize the gravity of her situation]]. |
| 367 | ** The Blue X in ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'' manage to pull this off despite being amorphous blobs with only one animation -- since the Metroid Vaccine makes Samus weak to cold, the supercold Blue X attack her by forcing her to absorb them, freezing her from within. After she acquires the Varia Suit, this no longer works, but the X only realize that after seeing it fail a few times. Once they catch on, they'll stop doing that, ''halting mid-charge'' if they have to, and flee from her for the rest of the game. |
| 368 | ** Done hilariously in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes'', where you can find Pirate logs detailing an ill-fated expedition. The logs end with them panicking about the destroyed stealth field and two Samuses. |
| 369 | --->'''[[ApocalypticLog Pirate Log]]:''' Horrific as it may sound, there are two of them now. We are bracing for a new assault. |
| 370 | ** In ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'', a Space Pirate log details how they inadvertently brought the remains of [[BigBad Dark Samus]] with them while hastily collecting Phazon on Aether. Dark Samus then revives herself in their cargo hold... |
| 371 | --->'''[[ApocalypticLog Pirate Log]]:''' Surely, we are cursed. |
| 372 | * ''VideoGame/{{Misao}}'': If you choose to sacrifice the wrong person, you end up being transported back to the real world ''with the killer''. You see the [[TraumaCongaLine chain of events]] leading to Misao's murder, and Aki is left with the murderer before her. It only gets worse when [[spoiler:the killer realises that Aki saw the flashbacks too, and now [[HeKnowsTooMuch knows everything]]]]. |
| 373 | * ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'': |
| 374 | ** Your hunter will literally flinch when spotted for the first time by a large monster, accompanied by some fitting music [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rPT1AMPKs0 (heard here at around 1:09)]] and an eye icon that changes from yellow to red (monster spotted you to monster has targeted you respectively). And some of the larger monsters will roar so loud ''your screen blurs.'' |
| 375 | ** In ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri'', the quest "Guts: It's What's For Dinner" has the player hunting Epioth for the titular Monster Guts, only to run into the Lagiacrus; and in ''3 Ultimate'' an early High Rank quest has the player find a Great Jaggi being crushed by a Deviljho. Both times, the Guild Sweetheart panics over the monsters' presence and tells you to get away from them immediately.[[note]]The Lagiacrus is indestructible even if you somehow survive against it for a long time, while the Deviljho is a magnitude more powerful than the High Rank monsters you'll be facing in the near future.[[/note]] |
| 376 | * ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' sees Quan Chi give out a BigNo when he realizes that Sonya intends to crush his balls. |
| 377 | * ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'': |
| 378 | ** Zigzagged in a game of "Oh Crap Hot Potato" between the enemies and the player the end of Salsa's chapter. After a grueling battle you manage to actually take down the enemy's Pork Tank and the Pork Troopers realize maybe picking a fight with you [[MookHorrorShow was a bad idea]]. But then three more Pork Tanks show up and they start advancing again. But ''then'' Lucas shows up with a baby Drago, the same baby Drago who's mother the Pork Troopers turned into a chimera, and he calls for help. Cue satisfying as all hell beat down while their entire force [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge gets torn apart by the enraged father]]. |
| 379 | ** After you learn of the Ultimate Chimera being loosed in the Labs, the creepy music that had been playing gets replaced by [[NothingIsScarier silence]], save for the roars of the beast and the screams of the [[{{Mooks}} Pigmasks]]. When Lucas and Boney get cornered by it, [[HeartbeatSoundtrack the sound of Lucas' heartbeat is the only sound to be heard]], [[SongsInTheKeyOfPanic speeding up as it draws closer.]] |
| 380 | %% Needs context * [[VideoGame/NightmareHouse You can't escape from the Nightmare House.]] |
| 381 | * ''VideoGame/NightTrap'': |
| 382 | ** Lisa gets this reaction in the bathroom when she sees two more Augers approaching her after [[MistakenForAnImposter mistaking the third one for Megan]], and realizes that they're about to drain her blood. |
| 383 | ** In the 2017 edition, if you let the Auger tackle Danny for the laser gun while another Auger puts the blood extractor device behind his neck, he quickly turns around to see the device clamp itself on his throat, and he gets this "OhCrap" look as the device turns on while trying to free himself, knowing that its drill will soon [[ImpromptuTracheotomy bore itself into his throat]] and its vacuum will drain his blood... |
| 384 | * ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'': Ryu Hayabusa's Oh Crap moments in the Original Trilogy is summed up in two words: "What the...?!" WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd even lampshades this in his review of Ninja Gaiden. |
| 385 | -->'''AVGN:''' "What was he gonna say? 'What the fuck?!'" |
| 386 | * ''Oh Shit!'' for the {{Platform/MSX}}, one of the laziest ''VideoGame/PacMan'' ripoffs ever made, had a digitized voice saying the game's title whenever the player lost a life. |
| 387 | * You can tell this is ''exactly'' what is going through Orochi's head after [[spoiler:Susano removes his other seven]] in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''. |
| 388 | * ''VideoGame/OpenSimulator'' has moments of these on levels at least similar to ''VideoGame/SecondLife''. |
| 389 | ** You're on a sim that's about to do a scheduled restart, and you've got two minutes at most to leave, lest you be logged out. |
| 390 | ** You can't walk anymore. A good sign that your viewer is about to crash. |
| 391 | ** You can't ''stop'' walking. If this doesn't stop, it isn't lag, and the only remedy is to restart your entire viewer and hope the sim hasn't crashed around you. |
| 392 | ** Instead of changing the texture on a few parts or surfaces of your advanced multi-prim construction, you change it on the whole thing. No, there is no Undo. |
| 393 | ** Instead of getting one object out of a big prim linkset, you've unlinked the whole bloody thing. Good luck cleaning up the mess. |
| 394 | ** You've logged out while naked, and you log back in, just to find your home sim to be down and your butt-naked avatar on the General-rated landing sim of your grid. Worse yet, it's built in such a way that you can't run and hide anywhere. If you're lucky, nobody else is there. If you're on [=OSgrid=], you'll land on Lbsa Plaza which is ''always'' busy and, yes, General-rated. |
| 395 | ** Similarly: You've crashed while naked, and you log back in, just to discover that the whole sim on which you previously were has crashed with otherwise the same consequences. |
| 396 | ** You decide to teleport into a sim advertised by [=OpenSimWorld=] as Adult-rated in the buff because you love nudity, just to find yourself on an actually General-rated sim. If you're lucky, nobody has noticed. |
| 397 | ** Or it's advertised as Adult-rated, it ''is'' actually Adult-rated, but all that the Adult rating stands for is a ban on child avatars to keep pedophiles out. So there's no trace of Adult or even only Moderate liberties. |
| 398 | *** Worse yet, the sim owner spots you and kicks and bans you right away. |
| 399 | ** The other way around: You're rather prudish, you'd never ever want to see naked people, but you've learned that the Adult rating often just means that child avatars aren't allowed, and otherwise it's just like General. Then you teleport into an Adult sim with an on-going party, fully expecting General rules, and you find yourself amongst naked avatars. |
| 400 | ** Clicking "Wear" instead of "Add".[[note]]Whatever you want to put on ''will'' most likely replace something else. Or ''everything'' else.[[/note]] |
| 401 | ** You have an avatar that relies on Bakes-on-Mesh, and you teleport onto a grid which, as it turns out, still runs such an old version of ''[=OpenSim=]'' that it doesn't support [=BoM=] yet. This is very likely to mess up your avatar so badly that the repair will cost you a lot of time and may require a fresh copy of your mesh body. |
| 402 | *** Worse yet, ''mesh itself'' is barely supported, if at all. |
| 403 | ** You go to a party somewhere on the Hypergrid, but at least for the other partygoers, [[NakedOnArrival your mesh clothes don't follow you]]. |
| 404 | ** You find hundreds of scripted prim dicks with physics piled upon your land by a certain griefer. |
| 405 | ** Your home grid has announced its shutdown, you want to rescue your stuff to another avatar, and you discover that some things that you can no longer get in-world are no-transfer. And/or you have an inventory cluttered with tens of thousands of items to rescue. |
| 406 | ** And, of course, the biggest possible OhCrap situation: You haven't been online for a while, and when you return, you discover that your home grid has shut down for good without notifying you in time, if at all. If you don't have an alt on another grid, have fun starting over from scratch. |
| 407 | *** Variant: You did have an alt, but your alt's home grid is gone, too. |
| 408 | * In ''[[VideoGame/{{Otomedius}} Otomedius Gorgeous]]'', you're faced with Big Core DX. Okay, sure, it's just a regular Big Core, it's not so dangerous looking. And then it deploys Options. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Six of them.]] OhCrap. |
| 409 | * ''Videogame/{{PAYDAY 2}}'': |
| 410 | ** Dallas's reaction to the Dentist knowing his true identity has him dart his eyes back and forth before trying to get up from the chair to escape, only to be restrained by the Dentist and the nurse. |
| 411 | ** In-game, the gang sometimes give one of these when calling out Special Units - usually when spotting a Bulldozer. Wolf is downright terrified of Cloakers, while Clover is terrified of EVERY special unit. |
| 412 | ** Bulldozers sometimes respond with this rather than a BadassBoast when their armoured visor is shattered. Thanks to this allowing attacks on their vulnerable head, they are often KilledMidSentence - not that this stops their corpse from [[GoodBadBugs delivering the rest of their line from the floor]]. Particularly funny if they're still ranting about how they're going to kill you. |
| 413 | ** Quite a bit of EnemyChatter consists of this, especially when they realize who they're fighting. They also have responses for certain player actions, such as deploying medical and ammunition bags, and especially killing enemies with the [[PunnyName OVE-900 Saw.]] |
| 414 | --->'''SWAT Officer:''' We aren't prepared for this, that's the Payday Gang!\ |
| 415 | '''FBI Officer:''' He just killed somebody, [[LargeHam WITH A SAW!]] |
| 416 | ** And before an escape sequence, your getaway driver will likely scream one of these right before he crashes into something and dies. |
| 417 | ** The Meltdown heist has a memorable one from Bain himself, as soon as he finds out what exactly the "valuable cargo" [[AxCrazy Vlad]] wanted them to rob for him was. |
| 418 | --->'''Bain:''' Is that... a nuclear warhead!? I... don't... look, just grab it. Carefully! Vlad, are you CRAZY!? '''NUKES!?''' |
| 419 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', in one of the video recordings, Shinjiro has this reaction when Fuuka and Aigis are about to walk in on him... [[RealMenWearPink watching a cooking show]]. In ''[[UpdatedRerelease Persona 3 Portable]]'' a panicky ''"Aw crap!"'' escapes his mouth when he hears them coming. |
| 420 | * ''Videogame/PizzaTower:'' |
| 421 | ** An actual ''mechanic'' for most {{Mook}}s is that when you approach them dashing at maximum speed, they will get stuck on a WildTake paralyzed with fear because of the pissed-off Italian barreling at them at Mach 3, disabling their offensive abilities. Enemies that ''[[NervesOfSteel don't]]'' do this and hit you anyways are especially dangerous, however. |
| 422 | ** Peppino himself can't help but cry out in fear whenever he faces one of the bosses, save for Pizzaface, where he goes for a more valiant warcry... [[spoiler:and the BossRush at the end, where he passes the RageBreakingPoint and unleashes a bellow of '''pure rage''']]. |
| 423 | ** Partway during The Noise's boss fight, both he and Peppino start freaking out when they realize the giant Noise balloon is about to crash into the arena. At the end of the fight, Peppino screams in terror when The Noise pulls a sausage minigun on him, only for The Noise to start panicking when Noisette drags him offscreen. |
| 424 | ** At the very end of the game, the near-unflappable [[spoiler:Pizzahead]] shows a single moment of shock complete with OhCrapSmile when [[spoiler:he tries to unleash the aforementioned BossRush only to piss Peppino off so badly he gets an EleventhHourSuperpower through anger alone]]. |
| 425 | * One of the more impressive moments in ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'' is inflicting this on [[spoiler:the Transcendent One]] by [[spoiler:getting Coaxmetal to forge a sword that can kill you, then revealing this to it]]. Never before have the words '''YOU LIE.''' carried so much fear. |
| 426 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''; |
| 427 | ** This is not one, but ''two combat abilities'': |
| 428 | *** "[[MagikarpPower GYARADOS]]' Intimidate cuts [[ElementalRockPaperScissors Foe GEODUDE]]'s Attack!" |
| 429 | *** "WHISCASH's Anticipation made it shudder!" (This means at least one opponent has an attacking move that's [[ElementalRockPaperScissors super effective]] against it.) |
| 430 | ** [[spoiler: [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Ghetsis]]]] in ''Black''/''White'' expresses his eagerness to see the look on your face when you've lost all hope. Unfortunately, you can neither wish him likewise nor get a good look at ''his'' face when you stomp his fancy hax dragon into so much paste on the floor, [[spoiler: along with his plot to TakeOverTheWorld]]. |
| 431 | ** Also, in [[VideoGame/PokemonTrozei Pokemon Shuffle]], version 1.2.0 has the Super Catch Mode. If a Pokemon breaks free, and if the Great Ball fails, you have to replay the stage to try to catch the Pokemon again, but manage to get 2,500 coins for the Great Ball, and you may get a massive 25% boost in the catch rate, and the percentage will be gray. Thus, the Pokemon that you are trying to catch will sweat, knowing that it is completely screwed. |
| 432 | ** Happens in narrative during the events of the ''Videogame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' DLC ''The Indigo Disk''. [[spoiler:Kieran manages to capture Terapagos in a Master Ball, and fights you with it. After you defeat it rather easily, Briar suggests Terastallizing Terapagos. Not only does this make it overwhelmingly powerful, but it then outright disobeys Kieran. When he tries to return it to the Master Ball, it shoots out a beam and ''breaks the Master Ball'', a feat never shown by any other Pokémon in the franchise. It's at this point that the group realizes they are about to be killed if they cannot defeat the now Stellar Terastallize Terapagos]]. |
| 433 | * In ''VideoGame/Portal2'', Wheatley gets one [[spoiler:right before [=GLaDOS=] zings him into space. Literally.]] |
| 434 | ** The defective turrets have a ''lot'' of quotes of this nature that are uttered prior to or as they're being launched into the incinerator after failing to pass the voice testing segment of quality control. Some of them even try to imitate the functional turrets, which goes about as well as one might expect: |
| 435 | --> '''Turret''': Hello. Hello. Hell-aw, crap. |
| 436 | * In the ''Franchise/PrinceOfPersia'' series, enemies generally have some variant of this expression in the last moments of the game before the ResetButton is pressed. |
| 437 | * In ''VideoGame/PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero'', the very first line heard in the game. "Oh crap, [[VerbalTic dood!]] I'm so late!" Considering what Prinny is late for, Prinny has [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness every reason]] to be [[FateWorseThanDeath upset.]] |
| 438 | * [[spoiler:Karen Parker]] in ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}''. |
| 439 | -->[[spoiler:'''Karen:''']] You know what he can do? He'll kill me! ''(thump)'' Oh my God. Oh my God, he's here! He's in the building!\ |
| 440 | '''Alex:''' (''transforming'') I know. ''(FadeToBlack)'' |
| 441 | ** ''Prototype'', having as it basically does ''Film/TheThing1982'' as a ''[[VillainProtagonist protagonist]]'', inspires this trope a lot: Alex walks up behind Doctor [=McMullen=] and says cheerily (for him, anyway), "Hey, boss." The [[strike:good]] doctor falls right out of his chair in horror. |
| 442 | ** "Oh shiiit!!" The last words of many a Marine right before [[ImAHumanitarian Alex digs in]]. |
| 443 | ** Alex lets himself drop an "Oh shit," when his cover is blown at a Blackwatch briefing due to [[spoiler:Bloodtox]]. |
| 444 | * ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'': |
| 445 | ** From the climax: |
| 446 | -->'''Raz''': Where's [[TheButcher your dad]]? |
| 447 | -->[[spoiler: '''Little Oly''']]: [[spoiler: He's over there, talking to ''[[MonsterClown your]]'' [[MonsterClown dad]]!]] |
| 448 | ** The look on Lili's face just before [[spoiler: the brain tank]] bursts from the rubble in at the asylum. |
| 449 | * ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' for the Wii: |
| 450 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YypaieysZ-A The opponent will make a distinct expression just before the player lands a Star Punch]]. Among the best are Piston Hondo (who actually mutters "Shimatta!" -- "Oh, crap!" in Japanese -- before it lands) and Bear Hugger ("Aw, no..."). |
| 451 | ** [[http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs43/f/2009/158/6/3/Doc_Louis_Unleashed_by_UzumakiSonic619.jpg The look on Doc Louis' face]] when he first sees [[FinalBoss Mr. Sandman]]. |
| 452 | * In ''VideoGame/{{The Punisher|THQ}}'', during the final level in Ryker's Island, Punisher goes down to death row and find a guy named Ronnie the Ripper who killed a bunch of housewives in '91. Since Punisher isn't wearing his iconic skull, the man doesn't know who he is and asks to be set free in exchange for knowledge of weapons. Punisher does so, and the man asks who he is, and freaks out once Punisher says "Frank Castle". Punisher can then proceed to strap him in the electric chair to torture him for info and kill him if the player desires. |
| 453 | * In the early ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' games (including ''Kirby's Avalanche'' and ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine''), there is a mugshot of your opponent on screen. As their well starts to fill up, their expression will usually turn into one of panic or frustration. They'll start sweating and then flash when they're near defeat. The games also try to invoke this on the player when their well fills up, as the opponent's mugshot will become very smug and the [[SongsInTheKeyOfPanic music will change to something more frantic]]. |
| 454 | * Franchise/{{Ratchet|AndClank}} gets several. |
| 455 | ** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'' features Ratchet showing identical "we're dead" expressions upon a) discovering that Captain Qwark, their last hope, thinks he's a monkey, and b) when [[spoiler:Clank turns out to have been replaced by an evil duplicate, who promptly grows to 30 feet tall and attacks him]]. |
| 456 | ** The final boss of ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction''. [[spoiler:After the first phase, Tachyon's basically [[TurnsRed gone insane]], and the Dimensionator has ripped open a hole in space and sent our eponymous duo and the BigBad to some random asteroid in the middle of space, leaving no chance for escape. The only option is going on with the fight.]] |
| 457 | ** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime'' has one from Nefarious's troops, whenever you pull out the [[{{BFG}} RYNO V]] in front of them-- [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that it's the proper response to being stared down from behind this [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon glorious]] [[InfinityPlusOneSword weapon]]: |
| 458 | ---> '''Nefarious Trooper''': [[PrecisionFStrike Holy crap!]] ABORT! ABORT! |
| 459 | ** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'' gets one from Clank as his reaction to him and Ratchet encountering an undead Grunthor, which is escalated right to PrecisionFStrike territory. |
| 460 | ---> '''Clank:''' Holy *''[[SoundEffectBleep bleep]]''*\ |
| 461 | '''Ratchet:''' You said it, pal! |
| 462 | * ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc''. When you defeat [[spoiler:Reflux]]'s [[SequentialBoss third form]] by shooting him in the power crystal embedded in his back with a missile, causing him to plummet back down to the arena, Rayman does the usual victory pose, blows a raspberry at the now unoccupied air in front of him, and two seconds later, [[spoiler:Reflux]] simply floats back up unharmed. |
| 463 | * In ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'', a random encounter has Marston coming upon two men working with dynamite and surrounded by barrels marked TNT. When Marston gets close, one of the men will exclaim to the other "Time for a cigar. Got a light?" Marston gives no remarks [[spoiler: a second before the camp and the two men disappear.]] |
| 464 | * Late in ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'', [[spoiler:Colm O'Driscoll, a mortal nemesis of Dutch and his gang, is arrested and sentenced to hang. This is actually the third time he has been condemned, and he is very confident it will be the third time he will escape. When he sees that Dutch and Sadie have left two of his would-be saviors indisposed, and that Arthur has taken care of his sharpshooter, his confidence wavers and he is left on the verge of tears as he realizes he is going to die.]] |
| 465 | * In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles'', during the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'' segment, Claire and Steve pass through a prison ward where the bunks are full of bloody corpses. They wind up around the corner at a dead end and, after getting attacked by a zombie who bursts in through the window, prepare to leave the ward, only to find that the bunks are now empty. |
| 466 | * In ''VideoGame/Rockman4MinusInfinity'', Shadow Man's reaction in Wily Stage 4 when his smoke bomb (that he used to cover his escape every other time) fails to go off. To rub salt into the wound, it then ''does'' go off moments after he explodes. |
| 467 | * [[spoiler:Iris]] gets one in ''[[{{VideoGame/Rosenkreuzstilette}} Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert]]'' when she realizes that [[LadyOfWar Grolla]] has overheard her plans to [[spoiler:have RKS fight against the [[UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire Holy Empire]] ForTheEvulz]]. |
| 468 | -->[[spoiler:'''Iris''': ...! How careless of me. I wasn't expecting an audience so soon.]] |
| 469 | [[/folder]] |
| 470 | |
| 471 | [[folder:S-Z]] |
| 472 | * Hideyoshi's reaction before [[spoiler:Matsunaga suicide bombs him]] in ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara 4'' is this written all over. |
| 473 | * ''VideoGame/SeriousSam'': |
| 474 | ** Sam is trapped in a tiny 10 foot by 10 foot cage while being harassed by headless zombies that file in one at a time. [[TemptingFate "Come on, is that the only thing you ugly freaks got?"]] Cue the [[DemonicSpiders giant, scythe-armed, skeletal-horse creatures]]. "Uh-oh." |
| 475 | ** A similar scene occurs earlier in the game when you run into your first Beheaded Kamikaze. After gunning it down, Sam says "AAAAAAAAHHHH yourself!" Cue the sound of ''many'' Beheaded Kamikazes screaming in unison. "Uh-oh." |
| 476 | ** The iconic first Kamikaze encounter is paid homage to in ''Serious Sam 3: BFE'' in the first level, Summer in Cairo. A single Kamikaze appears from the dry grass in front of the museum surroundings where the helicopter ruins are located. Sam blows it up and remarks "AAAAAAHHH, put a sock in it!". Then comes a marching band of Kamikazes. "Uh-oh." |
| 477 | ** The final boss of the first game causes this reaction to the ExpositionFairy, who advises you to "Run and pray!" |
| 478 | * Angels in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' have a shocked "NO WAY!" reaction when you kill them, which rather nicely compliments the smug look on their faces prior to you kicking their ass. Bonus points for the "NO WAY!" being uttered in a shocked tone that indicates getting the crap beaten out of them was something they thought impossible. |
| 479 | * During Scenario 30 in the Space Route in ''VideoGame/ShinSuperRobotWars'', Dr. Hell and Baron Ashura get this reaction when they are about to be destroyed by the SRX. They also wonder if Zechs Merquise can provide some backup. |
| 480 | * In ''Soul Sunder'' this is Alex's reaction to him and his sister Arya ending up outside the protection of their village and therefore subject to random monster attacks. |
| 481 | * In the ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'' series: |
| 482 | ** The VGA remake of ''Space Quest'', if you get caught by the Orat, Roger will scream "OH NOOOOO!" before the Orat squashes him into a human basketball and dribbles him. |
| 483 | ** ''Space Quest 6'', if you walk off the edge of a broken bridge, Roger will say "Whoops!" before he falls to his death. |
| 484 | * In ''VideoGame/SpaceStation13'' on the Goonstation branch, looking at a black hole or loose singularity yields the flavor text "FUCK FUCK FUCK AAAHHH". Being on fire also causes your HUD to say "OH FUCK FIRE FIRE FIRE OH GOD AAAAAAA" when checking your body temperature. |
| 485 | * ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' |
| 486 | ** ''VideoGame/SpiderManWebOfShadows'': Spidey has just planted bombs in key locations on a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier infested with symbiotes. Suddenly huge, black, oily tentacles grab the ship: |
| 487 | --->'''Spidey:''' Ohhhhhhh boy. |
| 488 | ** In a similar vein, in ''[[VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan2005 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', Spidey is chasing after the Rhino. When he first comes across the trail of destruction, he knows that fighting the Rhino is going to suck ("Ooooh, this hurts already."). When he meets the Rhino, who in this continuity is a 15-foot tall robotic armor-tank? |
| 489 | --->'''Spidey:''' Hey, is that a rhino suit, or are you just happy to see... (''Rhino turns around and stands up to his full height'') ...I am so scared I can't even finish my lame joke. |
| 490 | ** J. Jonah Jameson has a big one in ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' during the postgame of ''Silver Lining'' [[spoiler:when Miles becomes a second Spider-Man.]] |
| 491 | --->'''J.J.''': '''''JARED! CALL MY DOCTOR AND DOUBLE ALL MY PRESCRIPTIONS!!!''''' |
| 492 | * In ''VideoGame/SpiritsOfAnglerwoodForest'', Edgar gets one when [[spoiler: his parents in Angler's Maw turn out to be fake]]. He gets another one right after when [[spoiler: Ezra first reveals himself]]. |
| 493 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'', this is one of the animations that creatures can do, and EVERYONE RUNS IN SHEER PANIC whenever there is a meteor storm or a UFO. |
| 494 | * In ''VideoGame/StarControl II'', [[spoiler:the Ur-Quan have a pretty bad one when you tell them you were in contact with a sentient talking pet. These guys conquered almost the entire universe including Earth and control the scariest and deadliest fleet, but they are '''''scared shitless''''' when you tell them. (Their reaction is justified.)]] |
| 495 | -->'''Ur-Quan:''' [[spoiler:If what you say is true, you were in contact with a creature so horrible, so evil, that is makes ANYTHING else you have ever known TRIVIAL by comparison. There is no equal to the Dnyarri's cruelty; to its love for torment. Dying a THOUSAND TIMES would be preferable to what is in store for you if we do not stop that creature.]] |
| 496 | * ''VideoGame/StarCraft'': |
| 497 | ** From an early scene where two [[DeepSouth Terran]] [[JustForFun/RecycledINSPACE soldiers]] hit what they think is a dog with a jeep. |
| 498 | -->'''Lester:''' Looks liak yew mashed sum powr fella's dowg, Sarge.\ |
| 499 | '''Sarge:''' It's a Zerglin', Lester. Smaller taip'uh Zerg. They woun't be owt this far unleyess... owwww sheyat.\ |
| 500 | ''(Hydralisks proceed to disembowel the two men off screen)'' |
| 501 | ** Towards the end of Brood War, Zeratul's discovery of the hybrid. |
| 502 | * ''VideoGame/StarFox64'': |
| 503 | ** The Zoness stage involves the Sarumarine boss, which has two big side-mounted cannons, and a crane to retrieve them when they get shot off. Obviously, the designers intend for you to to shoot the cannons and then OhCrap out when the crane rolls into action. But if you're smart enough to shoot the ''crane'', you get a priceless "Ohh, ''shoot!!!''" from the Sarumarine's captain, proving that GoshDangItToHeck ''does'' work if you [[LargeHam ham it up]] enough. |
| 504 | ** The boss fight on Macbeth consists of the Forever Train carrying explosives to a supply depot as it deploys its defense drone, the Mechbeth. If you choose to skip the actual fight with the Mechbeth and simply change the direction of the tracks, you're treated to one of the game's [[NarmCharm lovable lines]] as the Forever Train's engineer realizes that he's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZeB21sTFdg heading right into the depot's front door at top speed]], [[InertiaIsACruelMistress and his brakes aren't enough to stop his speeding train from crashing.]] |
| 505 | --> '''Forever Train Engineer:''' No! Hit the ''brakes!!'' I can't '''''STOP IIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!''''' |
| 506 | ** The part in Area 6 where Fox and his team blast straight through the armada protecting Venom, and the two in charge of the armada are epically freaking out. |
| 507 | --> '''Caiman:''' They're through the second line! |
| 508 | --> '''Area 6 Commander:''' Fire! FIRE! Don't let them through!! |
| 509 | ** Falco and Slippy have this reaction to Star Wolf coming after them with their brand-new Wolfen II fighters. |
| 510 | --> '''Falco:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck I see you've got new ships...]] |
| 511 | --> '''Slippy:''' [[CasualDangerDialogue Hey! Nice aircraft, guys!]] |
| 512 | * The ''VideoGame/StarOcean'' series features this in the sound bytes for each character at the start of a battle. Against an enemy that outmatch your level sufficiently, the general consensus is barely restrained panic. (Dias from Second Story averts this forever, and even inspires it himself sometimes. This is because Dias is Dias.) |
| 513 | * ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder'' has a huge one near the end, where [[spoiler:Cere has seemingly gotten through to her former Padawan Trilla, who has become the Second Sister, and is on the verge of abandoning her hatred for her former master. But then Trilla's ears pick up the sound of [[VaderBreath ominous rasping breathing]] coming up from right behind her and she takes on a look of utter, gut-wrenching terror, just before '''[[TheDreaded Darth Vader himself]]''' shows up]]. |
| 514 | * ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'': |
| 515 | ** When your character unleashes an [[DesperationAttack Ultra Combo]], your opponent will get a seriously scared look on his/her face right before the first blow connects. |
| 516 | ** Newcomer Rufus yells this out verbatim when he gets knocked out with anything harder than a jab. |
| 517 | ** In the full introduction movie (not whats on the game CD), Gouken does this after giving what seems to be a knockout blow to Akuma, only to have him warp behind him and unleash the Raging Demon. Especially funny when you see the timing of the actions matched up with the lyrics: Akuma recovers into the RD just as the lead is saying "My spirit's in-de-struc-ti-ble," followed up by one long "Ooohhhhhhhhh" as Gouken eats the attack. You can almost add the crap yourself. |
| 518 | ** Also, any Super Combo or Ultra Combo KO is sure to make anyone exclaim this... especially if it's a counter-move and the finishing move is inevitable. |
| 519 | ** This was carried over to ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'', which uses the same engine. |
| 520 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': |
| 521 | ** In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'', if Yoshi [[SkippableBoss kills Naval Piranha before Kamek can turn her giant]], Kamek yells "OH, MY!!!" and flies off. Also, Yoshi [[AsideGlance looks at the player wide-eyed]] while Kamek shrinks him so Prince Froggy can eat him. |
| 522 | ** Both Mario and Petey Piranha in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' express an "oh crap" moment in Episode 2 of Bianca Hills when the top of the windmill they're standing on starts to crack before giving way and making them fall down. Despite the fact that Petey has no visible eyes, you can still tell that he knows he's screwed before he and Mario take the plunge. |
| 523 | ** In ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'', starting at Chapter 4 and up, there are numerous occasions where {{Mooks}} will absolutely freak out upon seeing you while they guard an important location, some of which ''yell out up front'' that they don't stand a chance. |
| 524 | ** ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'': There's quite the panic during the initial encounters with Cortez's ZergRush of Blue Bubbles. |
| 525 | ** In a [=GameStop=] ad for ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros1'', the bunny, an {{Expy}} of Mario, takes advantage of his power-up, for a short while. Then it wears off and the bunny freaks out. |
| 526 | ** Hariet of the Broodals in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey''. When you knock off her hat (her only defense against your attacks), she reaches up to her head and freaks out a bit when she realizes she's not wearing it. |
| 527 | ** Every falling scene in the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' series. The reactions on the Bros.'s faces are just priceless in all of them. Also, every time Mario and Luigi come across a boss. Luigi just freaks out instantly. |
| 528 | *** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'': |
| 529 | *** Against the bosses sometimes as well. The reaction of Midbus and minions in Bowser's Castle when Bowser nearly throws it halfway across the kingdom is priceless. As is the reaction of the Monty Moles driving the Fawful Express after seeing Bowser's massive eyes through the windscreen. |
| 530 | *** In contrast, when Midbus is roasted by giant Bowser, he reacts in an unimpressed deadpan manner. |
| 531 | *** Mario and Dreambert's reaction in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'' when they realise the living version of Mount Pajamaja is about to ram them at about 90 miles per hour. Of course, it's pretty likely near anyone else would react the same way to that situation. |
| 532 | * ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration 2''. Mission 32. One of the best ideas on that mission is to '''''make absolutely sure you do not trigger the reinforcements on the enemy phase'''''. The fact that the reinforcements contain ''five bosses'' amongst them AND everyone takes damage during the cutscene makes that good advice to take. There's even more OhCrap for everyone in the closing moments of the chapter, to boot. |
| 533 | * Likewise, in Mission 30 of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW'': Leaving the Junk Guild ship too far behind is a bad thing, which you find out when, halfway during the battle, a large [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED ZAFT]] force shows up behind you. A dozen [=GINNs=] with bazookas are not good for the health of a simple salvage ship. |
| 534 | * In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ 3'', AG has a hilarious one when [[spoiler: after revealing he is the Edel Bernel and thus responsible for many of the miseries leading up to Z3]], he sees that the entirety of Z-BLUE is ''pissed'' and receives a collective beat-down from them. |
| 535 | * ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'': |
| 536 | ** In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''[='s=] Subspace Emissary, characters occasionally do this (without talking). King Dedede in particular gets a good "oh shit" look when Kirby shows up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMmSAqgHb0Y to stop him]]. |
| 537 | ** And in the Mega Man reveal trailer for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'', Mario gets a '''priceless''' one when he dodges Mega Man's flying metal blades at the last possible second. |
| 538 | ** Mario gets another one when he sees Bowser Jr. call in the Koopalings in his trailer. |
| 539 | * ''VideoGame/SyphonFilter'': "This one's different from the others..." :beep: :beep: :beep: :KABOOM: |
| 540 | * Done in ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood'' |
| 541 | ** "Oh, [[HoldYourHippogriffs grog nuts]]!" That phrase WILL go through your head when [[spoiler:[=LeChuck=] casually reveals that he has been {{evil all along}}, right before stabbing Guybrush through the gut]]. |
| 542 | ** Morgan [=LeFlay=] gets one in Chapter 2 when she realises that she's about to be knocked overboard. |
| 543 | * ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'', right at the beginning. |
| 544 | -->'''Dhaos''': [[MemeticMutation WHAT THE HECK IS THAT??]] |
| 545 | ** This is so iconic, various recreations have been inserted into other games. ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' has this ''exactly'' happen again in the Coliseum [[spoiler: when Rita unlocks INDIGNATION when fighting Dhaos.]] |
| 546 | * ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'': |
| 547 | ** The game has Luke's reaction to [[spoiler: first, the fact he [[NiceJobBreakingItHero inadvertently helped]] the BigBad (his ParentalSubstitute) destroy an entire city, kicking off his evil plan.]] He does it again when TheReveal kicks in [[spoiler: that's he's the [[CloneAngst replica]] of the real Luke.]] Cue HeroicBSOD. |
| 548 | ** Luke gets the BigBad back via [[spoiler: defeating him not once but ''twice'', the second time when the BigBad had access to the power of the resident ''god''...which wasn't enough to prevent Luke killing him.]] |
| 549 | * ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' has two in succession. First the BigBad's reaction [[spoiler: when he realizes he didn't activate a superweapon but, ''power down'' a barrier holding back an EldritchAbomination]]. Then there is [[TheStoic Yuri]]'s reaction to [[spoiler: being stabbed by Sodia and then falling off of Zaude and into the ocean, almost certainly to his death.]] |
| 550 | * A whammer of a one happens, in an understated way, in ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia''. Though Milla only shows a minor bit of shock at it, the fact TheStoic just freaked out over [[spoiler: Exodus slamming into an invisible barrier, which summons a bunch of freaking ''airships'' into a world that was more standard fantasy before]] says whole volumes at just how fucked the cast is now. |
| 551 | * In ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'', Zero uses these exact words in his ending when he realizes the BigBad is NotQuiteDead. |
| 552 | * ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': |
| 553 | ** "Meet the Demoman" includes a fairly accurate rendition of an in-game encounter with a skilled Demoman, culminating in about a dozen sticky bombs hidden on one side of a door frame, and the sudden (but not quite sudden enough) realization that the Demoman is, indeed, a [[BadassBoast grim bloody fable with an unhappy bloody end]]. |
| 554 | ** There's another use of this in "Meet the Spy", just before the climax... |
| 555 | --->[[spoiler:'''Soldier:''' "Alright. Who's ready to go find this spy?"\ |
| 556 | '''Spy:''' "Right behind you."]] |
| 557 | ** Heavy's expression at the end of Medic's NoodleIncident anecdote while Medic is performing surgery on him in "Meet the Medic" is a pretty good visual representation of Oh Crap. |
| 558 | -->'''Medic:''' Vait, vait, it gets better. Vhen ze patient voke up, his skeleton vas missing, and ze doctor vas never heard from again! ''[Both he and Heavy laugh uproariously]'' [[AndThatLittleGirlWasMe Anyvay, zat's how I lost my medical license.]] |
| 559 | ** There's also Meet the Sandvich, where we get an entirely verbal version-as the visual of the scene focuses on the Sandvich in the fridge. |
| 560 | --->'''Soldier:''' He's getting away, don't let him get to the fridge! ''DO. NOT. DO IT!''\ |
| 561 | [''Heavy opens the fridge and grabs the Sandvich'']\ |
| 562 | '''[[FragileSpeedster Scout]]:''' Don't do it pal, uh...\ |
| 563 | '''[[MightyGlacier Heavy]]:''' Omm nom nom nom...[[EvilLaugh Ahh, heheheheh...]]\ |
| 564 | '''Soldier:''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Ohhh, hell...]]\ |
| 565 | '''Scout:''' Ohhh...hey, uh, calm down there, you listening, uhh-[[OhCrap OH GOD! OMIGODOMIGODOMI]]--\ |
| 566 | [''CRUNCHWHUNCH!'']\ |
| 567 | '''Scout:''' [[spoiler:''My blood! He punched out '''all''' my blood!'']]\ |
| 568 | |
| 569 | ** Recorded but [[DummiedOut unused]] is a line for the Scout, which is meant to be played when taking damage while trying to use his Bonk! Atomic Punch. Said line is this trope verbatim, delivered with the scout's usual humorous lack of restraint. One that ''is'' used, added during the 2012 Halloween update: |
| 570 | -->'''Scout:'''"Haha, you got a bomb on your head....OH CRAP I GOT A BOMB ON ''MY'' HEAD!" |
| 571 | ** Mann vs Machine has several of these for the mercenaries to say, when a particularly nasty bot is coming. |
| 572 | -->'''Heavy:''' "METAL GIANT!" |
| 573 | ** Heavy takes a break to take a bite out of his sandvich, when all of a sudden a "teammate" appears out of thin air in the corner of the room, and he freaks out. |
| 574 | ** Go to Helltower, wait until the bridge appears, snatch up one of the rare spells, and toss it in the middle of a fray. ''Everyone'' will freak out. |
| 575 | ** ''Expiration Date'': |
| 576 | *** Both the Engineer and Medic, when they find out [[spoiler:Soldier has spent the last three days [[ItMakesSenseInContext teleporting bread]].]] |
| 577 | *** A more humorous one done earlier by [[CloudCuckooLander the Soldier]]: |
| 578 | --> '''Spy:''' This....is a bucket. |
| 579 | --> '''Soldier:''' My ''God''. |
| 580 | --> '''Spy:''' There's more. |
| 581 | --> '''Soldier:''' [[LittleNo No....]] |
| 582 | * ''VideoGame/ThiefIITheMetalAge'': [[SinisterMinister Father Karras]] has a plan [[spoiler:to cover the world in gas that dissolves living matter while he stays sealed in an air-tight chamber]]. He didn't expect [[PhantomThief Garrett]] to turn the plan back on itself [[spoiler:and pump the stuff into his hideout]]. The close-up lingers ''just'' long enough to catch his expression changing. |
| 583 | * The FullMotionVideo game ''VideoGame/TimeGal'' has Reika react like this in some of the death scenes. Luda, the BigBad, does this as well, right before you defeat him. |
| 584 | * One of the Achievements for TheConsigliere (a Mafia role that can investigate one person per night to discover their role) in ''VideoGame/TownOfSalem'' is called "Uh Oh", and is awarded for discovering a [[ShellShockedVeteran Veteran]]. The Veteran is a town role that can go on alert at night, killing anyone who visits them. If you investigate a Veteran, there is a decent chance that he's on alert and killed you for the trouble. |
| 585 | * ''VideoGame/{{Troublemaker}}'' have your character displaying shocked expressions semi-regularly when things goes south, usually in the cutscenes where your expressions are {{animesque}}. |
| 586 | * Nrvnqsr in ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' was already having a tough time of it in his fight against Shiki, but was far more annoyed than afraid... [[spoiler:until Arcueid mentioned that "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you this, but Shiki even killed ''me'' once."]] Nrvnqsr's reaction is priceless. And the ''protagonist'' ([[spoiler:and, at the time, [[EnemyWithin Roa]]]]) is subject to one of these. See: ToThePain. |
| 587 | * ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'': |
| 588 | ** Nathan Drake has this almost as his catchphrase. He says it, or some variation, every five minutes. Either that, or he's so far beyond panic that he gets ''irritated'' at the insurmountable odds stacked against him. |
| 589 | --> '''Nate''': (after encountering bad guys while being shot at by a ''military helicopter'') ''Can't you guys see the helicopter?! '''I have enough shit to deal with!''''' |
| 590 | ** If Drake falls from a high place to his death, he will occassionally shout out "Oh Shiiiiittttt!!!!!" |
| 591 | * ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': |
| 592 | ** Toriel gives one of these for a split frame if [[spoiler: you somehow manage to get her to [[https://youtu.be/KSNKpBHZnMg accidentally kill you]] during your battle with her.]] |
| 593 | ** Flowey gives one at the end of the Genocide route as part of a monologue that essentially boils down to "We get along so well. I mean, just look at us; we're both remorseless mass-murderers who wouldn't hestitate to... [[ExplainExplainOhCrap kill... each other... oh no...]]" |
| 594 | ** This is actually invoked at the end with [[spoiler: Sans]] toward [[spoiler: the player]]. His line after [[spoiler: dodging your first attack]] is this: |
| 595 | ---> [[spoiler: [[BadassBoast "What? You think I'm just gonna stand there and take it?"]]]] |
| 596 | ** [[spoiler:Sans]] gets two: once when you [[spoiler:attack again after he dodges at the end of the fight, causing him to ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill take more damage than any enemy in the entire game]]''[[note]]Notably, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness it's the only time his smile falters in the entire game]][[/note]]]] and another one should you [[spoiler:[[DevelopersForesight reset and fight him again]], causing him to realize from the look on his face that you already killed him once and intend to do so again.]] |
| 597 | ** Alphys gets one near the end of the Pacifist Route. Upon asking Papyrus why he gathered everyone up at New Home, he replies [[spoiler:"A tiny flower told me." Said tiny flower is Flowey, who Alphys is responsible for creating]], and she has just enough time to look appropriately horrified before the final boss shows up. |
| 598 | * ''VideoGame/VermintideII'': It doesn't reduce [[SuicidalOverconfidence their aggression]] any, but some EnemyChatter gets distinctly panicked when they realize the Ubersreik Five have shown up for a fight. |
| 599 | -->'''Stormvermin:''' No, ''no!'' They're not supposed to be here! |
| 600 | * Lee, the main protagonist of ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'' game has a few of these, but probably the most dramatic is when Lilly puts her gun between Carley's eyes and pulls the trigger, especially if you'd been supporting Lilly up until that point. |
| 601 | * This is the reaction Wario gets when the [[ComputerVirus game bugs]] break into his game in ''VideoGame/WarioWareGetItTogether''. He goes to see what's wrong only to be met face-to-face with a JumpScare. |
| 602 | --> '''Wario:''' (Wario is typing on his computer.) We make the games! I make the money! All the money! (The viruses appear.) Huh? What's going on!? (The Mega Bug lunges towards the game's screen, and Wario pisses himself and throws his game at the wall.) |
| 603 | * The Quarter Knights in ''VideoGame/WildArms1'' have one when [[DiscOneFinalBoss Mother]] reveals her true intentions. Apparently, they didn't count on their leader being an OmnicidalManiac. |
| 604 | * At one point in ''VideoGame/WingAlliance'', the player accidentally flies into a secret Imperial weapons testing ground guarded by ''four'' Star Destroyers, none of which are happy to see you. It gets better if the player is familiar with the wider Expanded Universe: the destroyers are all future members of [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Thrawn's]] fleet, and the lead ship is none other than the ''Chimaera'', his future flagship. |
| 605 | * In ''VideoGame/WingCommander IV'', the ''Vesuvius'' (a carrier with guns to engage capships directly, as well as attacking them with its fighters) is almost ready to the jump to Sol System, with the ''Intrepid'' chasing it. When the ''Vesuvius'' turns around to engage the ''Intrepid'', it's Blair's turn for the OhCrap face. |
| 606 | * In the prologue chapter of ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings'', hero Geralt is the personal bodyguard of King Foltest, who had been targeted by an assassin shortly after a rival king had been murdered as well. Geralt keeps some discreet distance as the king talks to the hooded monk who had protected his children during the battle, but turns around as Geralt comes charging into the room, sword in hand. [[EnemyRisingBehind As the monks dagger is coming at his throat]], the kings face has just a moment to say "Oh Crap, he's RightBehindMe, isn't he?" |
| 607 | * In ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'', at the conclusion of the quest "Reason of State", [[spoiler: Radovid is clearly scared out of his mind when, while fleeing his would-be assassins, he opens a door to find himself face to face with [[ArchEnemy Phillipa Eilhart]].]] |
| 608 | * ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': |
| 609 | ** In the expansion ''Wrath of the Lich King'' is one in-game video available after a quest line, in which Arthas manages to kill [[spoiler:Saurfang the Younger and is about to kill Bolvar]]. But then [[spoiler:the Forsaken]] appear, with Arthas saying just one word ([[spoiler:"Sylvanas..."]]) in a real Oh Crap voice before getting his ass kicked and retreating. |
| 610 | ** Relatedly but less dramatically, in the official trailer for Patch 3.1, you can tell this is what Jaina's thinking when she sees that Thrall and Garrosh are going to arrive before Varian Wrynn has left. |
| 611 | ** In the ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' RTS games and ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', the Bloodlust spell. It boosts attack speed by 40% and movement speed by 10%. This is a specialty for the heavy hitting Orc faction. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YePpuaIi8c4 Make sure you are the one getting buffed.]] |
| 612 | ** ''Cataclysm'' has one in the Goblin starting area. The Goblin captain and navigator are piloting [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Trade Prince Gallywix's]] slave ship, and get lost in a fog; when the fog clears, they find they've steered right into the middle of an Alliance-Horde naval battle. |
| 613 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsXglDs81FU#t=1m30s You called, little shaman, and The Firelord has answered!]] |
| 614 | ** This basically sums up Thrall's reaction in ''Literature/RiseOfTheHorde'' that the draenei, the orcs' old neighbors-turned-enemies who they nearly made extinct, have arrived on Azeroth and joined the Alliance. |
| 615 | ** In the finale of ''Cataclysm'', [[spoiler:when Thrall gets ready to use the Dragon Soul to blast Deathwing]] we get a brief but satisfying close-up of Deathwing's eye widening in panic [[spoiler:as he recognizes the ArtifactOfDoom ''he created'' -- he knows all too well just how badly the thing can screw him over.]] |
| 616 | ** In ''Reign of Chaos'', one mission has Arthas and Jaina track down a shipment of tainted grain that turns those who eat it into zombies. Then this happens: |
| 617 | ---> '''Arthas:''' Wait... What did those crates contain?\ |
| 618 | '''Footman:'''Just a shipment of grain from Andorhal. There's no need to worry milord, it's already been distributed amongst the villagers.\ |
| 619 | '''Arthas:''' Oh ''no...''\ |
| 620 | -Cue small-scale ZombieApocalypse and HoldTheLine mission- |
| 621 | * ''VideoGame/{{XenoGears}}'': In a FissionMailed scene, if Fei agrees to risk removing his ExplosiveLeash, Citan tinkers with it for a bit before he mistakenly sets off the destruct mechanism as he and Hammer realize what occurred just before the bomb goes off. |
| 622 | * ''VideoGame/Yakuza0'': |
| 623 | ** In chapter 1, Yoneda has about a split second to react to Kiryu, who's about to send him [[DestinationDefenestration flying off a four-story window]] via DivingKick to the face (how he survived ''that'' is anyone's guess). |
| 624 | ** The obnoxious thugs who [[BullyingADragon beat up an]] [[HeroicBSOD unresponsive Majima]] in chapter 15 realize how badly they screwed up in the final chapter [[CurbStompBattle when Majima actually fights back.]] |
| 625 | ** Various Heat Actions take a moment to show the bewildered reactions of Kiryu and Majima's targets as they are about to have all their bones broken. |
| 626 | * In ''VideoGame/YuGiOhReshefOfDestruction'', it takes 2 Millennium Items to revive a God Card's power. Once you get six, you think that things will be good, right? Nope. The Gods return to stone after that. |
