10 Cringeworthy Video Game Scenes That Made You Feel Dirty

8. Mass Effect's Sex Scenes. All Of Them.

Bioware love to put humanity into their games, especially given that they make science fiction and fantasy epics where humans are usually in a minority. Ever since Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic they allowed players to generate romantic relationships with key NPCs all in the name of allowing the players to generate a story unique to them. This continued into the Mass Effect trilogy, where the irrepressible Commander Shepard was basically given free run of whichever human or alien babe he wanted to knock boots with. As the series went on it was even written in that same sex relationships could occur, should the player wish his or her particular Shepard to have their bread buttered that way. In each of the three games there was a scene where the incongruous flirting would come to a head (usually just before the endgame started) and players would be treated to an all together awkward and slightly too graphic sex scene with their chosen beau. To be honest, rather than providing a satisfying end to a story arc, the scenes simply ask more questions, like why are they all so shiny?
