January 5, 200620 yr Sometimes an RPG will include wit, sarcasm, situational comedy or just plain old jokes. I 'm wondering what are some of your favorite moments in any RPG that amused you or made you laugh, (even if it was just on the inside.) "To be, or not to be a real RPG, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows or outrageous action... or by taking up arms against a sea of crap and by opposing: end them."
January 5, 200620 yr Disgaea (and La Pucelle and Makai Kingdom along with it) are pretty funny. However, funniest RPG ever and pretty much one of the funniest games ever goes to Anacranox. Normal RPGs say somthing like 'you can't go this way, the bridge is broken, please come back once you kill the stupid dragon'. Anacranox says (via the avatar of a cyber-police-man) 'sorry sir, there's a man on fire around this corner, you're going to have to wait till he puts himself out'. In the mean time, a man is running around on fire behind him screaming. And that's just to start with. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 5, 200620 yr However, funniest RPG ever and pretty much one of the funniest games ever goes to Anacranox. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One review of Anachronox said 'This game will make you laugh,' and I didn't believe it. But I laughed out loud--it's an honestly funny game, nothing forced about it. Right down through the credits. It's one of very few, of any media, that does humor right.
January 5, 200620 yr Bellydancing in Quest for Glory V. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
January 5, 200620 yr RPGs have comedy? War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is StrengthBaldur's Gate moddingTeamBGBaldur's Gate modder/community leaderBaldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition beta testerBaldur's Gate 2 - Enhanced Edition beta tester Icewind Dale - Enhanced Edition beta tester
January 5, 200620 yr Fallout has plenty of easter eggs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed it did, quite funny indeed. I like their references to the designers in the game be it on a tombstone or a character.

January 5, 200620 yr I rather enjoyed the conversation my Malkavian had with the stop sign in Bloodlines. "Stop." "No, you stop!" "You win this round."
January 5, 200620 yr I thought Knights of Xentar was funny. :D The only problem is the animated nudity. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
January 5, 200620 yr Minsc and Boo, though Kang the mad was very funny. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Minsc and Boo were funny for the whole of 5 minutes. Spreading beauty with my katana.
January 5, 200620 yr ...I would have bought Minsc's teatime adventures. But yeah, all of the above are 'comedy moments in RPGs' not 'truely funny RPGs', of which there is only Anachronox. As far as console RPGs go, the Tales series has it's moments, and while it's an 'action game with RPG elements', Threads of Fate (not released in Europe) is funny as hell just because of mint. Just for the love of everything stay away from the Rue campain. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 5, 200620 yr The 'Easter Egg' in Vice City. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ha. Vice City was a funny game. Some of those VCPD guests were hilarious, especially when the nudist was shot. "Oh my God! There's blood and pubic hair everywhere!" Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body
January 5, 200620 yr When the druids tried to summon a "great monster" in Planescape: Torment. "Zoom, dooom, tooom". "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
January 5, 200620 yr If we are just talking funny video games, nothing can beat the original Monkey Island and Sam n' Max. There has been a real lack of straight comedy games. I hope we see a decent revival wth that Bones game and the new San n' Max, but the most recent Monkey Island make me feel that the genre is dead. As for RPG's, Minsc and Boo are probably the best comedic pair out there, although I never played Anachronox. I thought KotOR had some great comedic moments as well. The funniest part of Fallout were the special perks you could choose.

January 5, 200620 yr ^I think he's referring to the "Hot Coffee" egg where you can have sex with some chick.

"I tried the most potent Noise Amplification spell once upon a time. Mavellous spell. I could hear the birds speaking to one another in trees over the horizon, I could hear the rustlings as the clouds rubbed against each other in the sky. I could hear the sound a rainbow makes as it arches it's back over the world. Then a dog barked behind me and I burst my left eardrum."
