10 Exact Moments Video Games Self-Destructed

7. Vergil Has A Bigger D*ck (Apparently) - DmC: Devil May Cry

Heavy Rain
Ninja Theory

2013's Devil May Cry reboot remains relatively divisive with fans, for as fluidly fun as its gameplay is, the more juvenile tone struck a sour note with a lot of players.

If the early gag making fun of players who hated the new "emo" Dante wasn't enough, the scene where Vergil proudly boasts about the apparent size of his manhood surely did it.

During the scene, Vergil and his twin brother Dante argue over which one of them is stronger, smarter, and better-looking. The squabbling seems to end as they head off do battle Mundus, but before the scene ends, Vergil lets out one final quip: "...and I've got a bigger dick."

It's the epitome of edgelord writing intended to appeal to teenage boys, but surely caused most adults to roll their eyes into the back of their skulls.

In a game which also features a demonic abortion administered via sniper rifle bullet - seriously - this woeful one-liner was the straw that broke the camel's back.
