10 Unintentionally Hilarious Gaming Cutscenes

While long renowned for lengthy, dramatic monologues, Hideo Kojima’s stealth-based masterpiece of a franchise also has a great track record for humour… intentional or otherwise.

In Metal Gear Solid, the titular Solid Snake has a host of encounters with colourful villains, from the feathery foe Vulcan Raven to the sinister Psycho Mantis. Each of them tends to have quite a lot to say, particularly revelling in the chance to make their final words count.

Sniper Wolf, however, takes it a little overboard.

After besting Wolf on a snowy battlefield, Snake approaches her with trepidation… perhaps wondering just how long this particular death speech will last.

Preposterously, Wolf begins by claiming she’s been “lung-shot”, but this fatal wound doesn’t stop her from waffling on with her life story, from its harrowing beginnings to her soul-searching meditations on the nature of combat and duty.

You have to wonder if Snake was at any point considering interjecting with “could we wrap this up? It’s a little chilly out here.”

It only gets worse when Otacon turns up to bemoan the fate of his apparent beloved; she barely acknowledges him!
