10 Times Video Game Button Prompts Got WEIRD

10. Push L3 + R3 To Gouge - God Of War 3

The God of War games have never shied away from violence. Quite the opposite, in fact; they embrace it.

This has seldom been more evident than in God of War 3 during the massive and time-consuming battle against the sea god Poseidon.

The fight is violent, bloody, and brutal, even if it is more of a cut scene with quick-time events than any real challenge of your fighting ability. Kratos throws Poseidon from one end of a mountain top to other, leading to a pathetic scene where the sea god, knowing he is beaten, attempts to slither to safety over a cliff.

Kratos, who is having none of that, drags Poseidon away from the cliff's edge and you end up with the prompt to hit L3 and R3 at the same time.

At which point Kratos jams his thumbs into your eyes, making the screen go black.

See, that's the other part. You're witnessing all of this from Poseidon's point of view, meaning you don't just see Kratos' thumbs jam into your eyes, you experience it, horrible squelching noise and all.

It's not that this is a bad or ridiculous prompt, it's just...visceral.
