10 Hilarious Game Overs You WANT To See
10. Spider Man 3 - QTE Failiure
I bet a lot of people were expecting to see this entry on the list, and you know what? it's with good reason as the Spider-Man 3 movie tie in game genuinely does offer up a game over so utterly unexpected that it's hard not to burst out laughing.
As Spider-Man enters one of the likely many collapsing and exploding buildings he's seen in his time and starts to do his friendly neighborhood thing, the player is given some simple QTE's to complete to help him on his way. As we leap from floor to ceiling and over burning obstacles it seems like it's just another day in the office for Spidey, especially when we spot a rather bug-eyed civilian tied up and next to a bomb.
Not a problem, we'll just swing over and...huh. Seemed to have missed the button there, and oh my lord what is going on? Here if you fail, Spider-Man will flop to the floor with a ridiculous splat, before the woman states "I'm going to die" before the building explodes.
Nothing about a person being burned and then dying from an explosion should be funny. Yet here? It's bloody hilarious.
