** Apparently subverted with Garrus' father, offscreen. Garrus later tells Shepard that he sought his father out, and told the whole story from start to finish. According to Garrus when it came to his father, "if the connections were there, he would see it" and believed Garrus. He took it higher up and their government gave Garrus some people and resources. It may have helped a little...

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'': If you attempt to tell anyone about the Stones on Solstiem before you’ve gotten far enough into the quest line to deal with them, they simply won’t know what you’re talking about. It’s justified in this case in that Miraak probably put some sort of spell on them to not know.

** PlayedForDrama when the protagonist's uncle Dojima finds one of the threatening notes the killer sent to the house and correctly deduces that they're involved in the case, but even if you tell him the complete truth, he doesn't believe you and drags you down to the police station.[[spoiler: This gives Namatame the opportunity to kidnap Nanako while she's home alone.]]

* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', the MC tries to tell people about their visions, but (because [[MultipleChoiceFuture not all of them come true]]) is dismissed as a liar. Eventually, the MC mostly stops talking about them, for reasons decided by the player. If the player insists on continuing to talk about them, they start being considered delusional, and they get Delusion cards, which have ''negative'' values.

** Sol themself turns out to not be completely immune to this in one instance. They dismiss Dys telling them that [[spoiler:he saw Sym recently, while Sol is mourning after witnessing Sym's death, as Dys responding to the information with denial. If Sol ever leaves the colony again after their mourning period is over, it turns out that Sym has a BodyBackupDrive, meaning Dys had truly seen Sym more recently than Sol had]].

* ''VideoGame/Persona4'':
** PlayedForLaughs when some of the party members explain what's ''really'' happening concerning the murders, in detail, to an inquisitive detective... but because the truth sounds so absurd and the characters in question are completely drunk [[spoiler:[[DrunkOnMilk (sort of)]]]], they are immediately disbelieved. Said detective however is eventually confronted with the truth to her face and apologizes for not believing them before, though pointing out how absurd the truth really is. The police however flat out never believe you. Especially not Detective Dojima, who demands that the protagonist tell him what's going on, only to hear the truth and not believe it. This happens not once, but twice in a matter of moments.
** Although it's played tragically with [[spoiler:Taro Namatame]], who actually suspects something after the first murder, fails to convince the second victim, and is brushed off by the cops when he thinks he knows the next target; his story was crazy [[spoiler:and he was being played by the real killer]]. In fact, you can [[BadEnding put the final nail in the coffin]] by [[spoiler:not believing that he didn't murder anyone, and throwing him into the TV world as punishment]].

** PlayedForLaughs when some the team gets DrunkOnMilk and explains the entire thing to Naoto Shirogane... who of course thinks they're just drunkenly teasing. When Naoto later ''does'' experience the whole tv thing firsthand, they apologize for doubting and join the team.

* ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance2''; [[spoiler:When the prisoners with nanites injected into them rebel, Nick Fury sees this and attempts to warn Iron Man and Captain America. The former shoots down this claim because, well, Nick Fury has a history of lying, despite his goals of protecting the world in doing so. That and Iron Man thinks he has a handle on things. The latter dismisses this claim as well because he needs more than just his word, and he believes that even if the nanite controlled prisoners really have betrayed Iron Man, then he had it coming because of his actions during the superhuman civil war. They eventually come around, but the problem gets too out of hand at that point and it nearly costs Fury his life.]]



** The entire damn story. Specifically, it's understandable for the Citadel Council to be skeptical of a lone human warning of [[spoiler: ageless giant robot monsters from outer-outer space coming to wipe out all galactic life]], ''at first''. But after said human and their cohorts are proven right, time and time again, in everything ''else'' they've told you, some smidgen of acceptance wouldn't ''kill'' you!

** One quest chain in Theramore through Vanilla and Cataclysm featured a group of deserters from the Theramore Army who were trying to convince others that Jaina's dad was right, and the Horde would eventually sack Theramore because of its proximity. Come Mists of Pandaria and the novel Tides of War, Garrosh's forces did end up attacking and decimating it.

* ''VideoGame/WishboneAndTheAmazingOdyssey'':
** After speaking with Athena for the first time, Wishbone has the option to tell Eurylochus about meeting Athena herself. Eurylochus doesn't believe him until Athena herself calls him out and orders him to help Wishbone take the chest to her temple.
** Wishbone tells Calypso the story of how he got stuck in the Combobulator, albeit in terms that she'd understand. She naturally doesn't realize that the "little dog" he's talking about, who's "trapped in a magic story box", is himself.
** When Wishbone tells Telemachus he's Odysseus, Telemachus refuses to believe him (justified in that a number of impostors have shown up in the intervening years) until he passes a test of finding and retrieving Odysseus's bow.
