10 Cringeworthy Video Game Scenes That Made You Feel Dirty

By Michael Downie /

5. Heavy Rain's Stripping Scene

While the previous entry had one of the most awkward sex scenes to ever appear in a game, Madison's not quite done yet as her investigation leads her to The Blue Lagoon nightclub and the owner, Paco. The usual trope of sleazy nightclub owner is in full effect as Madison goes to question him, she's rebuffed as Paco drools over some young woman. Cue a True Lies-esque transformation scene in the restroom where the player uses gestures to shorten her skirt, pop a button on her blouse and apply make up, followed by an attempt at an enticing podium dance which somehow garners Paco's attention. It's not until the next scene that things get creepy though, as Madison is forced to perform a striptease for the club owner at gunpoint. Quick time events and gestures are all in place to awkwardly disrobe her and dance provocatively for him. Fortunately, the drugs she slips in his drink kick in just in time for her to keep her pants on, but it's still an unendingly uncomfortable scene to watch, given that you are in direct control of what she does exactly when she does it. Cripes.
