Serpentine Cougar Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 What's the funniest game you've played? Which one got you laughing the most? For me I think it would be the Monkey Island games; their clever wit kept me tickled even through the credits! A close second would be the Jak games, because of Daxter's wisecracks. So how about you?
Mav Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 While I doubt it's the funniest game I've played, the Ratchet and Clank series has some good humor, as does Disgaea to a point.
Sabretooth Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 In ordere: 1. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge 2. The Secret of Monkey Island 3. The Curse of Monkey Island 4. Psychonauts 5. Grim Fandango 6. Escape from Monkey Island 7. Portal 8. Day of the Tentacle 9. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
jrrtoken Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Probably The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys, developed by Doug TenNapel, or Earthworm Jim fame. Both games were entirely animated with clay, and they are great indeed. (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)
Miltiades Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Monkey Island 1 & 2, Psychonauts and I did find some of the Sam & Max episodes quite funny.
mur'phon Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Asterix & Obelix XXL2 (the ultimate game parody) Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (Jack's rant about what can and can't kil a vampire is enough reason to make this no 2) Theme Hospital Evil Genius Overlord Dungeon Keeper (1 and 2) Black&White 2
Jeff Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Sam and Max and a lot of the other LA adventures are great. See Sabre's list.
Rabish Bini Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Evil Genius This. Hilarious game, and an awesome one at that.
Taak Farst Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Overlord Seconded - awesome game (it's not really something adults would enjoy, as some of it is kinda childish imo) funniest game is something I can't decide but HK-47 makes me lol in kotor 1.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 The Ace Attorney series for the DS has the habit of amusing me.
Boba Rhett Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Giants: Citizen Kabuto Armed and Dangerous Both by Planet Moon Studios. Both painfully funny. Giants moreso than A&D.
TriggerGod Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Evil Genius Giants: Citizen Kabuto Thats my list in a nutshell. I did enjoy the Sam and Max episodes as well.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Bully also had some brainy humor on it. LOL @ everything Gary.
Sabretooth Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I have to mention this, Max Payne 2 is hilarious because of its three incredibly awesome TV segments, Address Unknown, Dick Justice and Lords and Ladies. But since rest of the game is srs bsns, here's the funny: Also, that scene that breaks the fourth wall in Max Payne is an absolute classic.
True_Avery Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Speaking of funny extras in a game, Vampire the Masquerade's radio is the funniest I've ever heard in any game, hands down beating the GTA series. Example:
Q Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 But after playing the game for a while and hearing the same segment ~20 times, it gets really annoying and the first thing that you want to do is turn that **** off as soon as you enter a building with a radio. What they needed was more segments. A lot more.
CommanderQ Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Hmmm...this one makes me think... The funniest game so far that I've played...toughie....well, recently I have played the funny game called... ....STRONGBAD'S AWESOME GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE!!! Yes, it is actually a game...and it is hilarious:D
leXX Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit (Xbox). Laugh a minute, and pure genius.
CommanderQ Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit (Xbox). Laugh a minute, and pure genius. Heheh...agreed, that game is pure genius:D "I do like a bit of Gorgonzola..." I found the other Wallace and Gromit games awesome as well....potato launchers are fun:D
Darth Avlectus Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 A hacked rom of donkey kong for the NES platform called "pink floyd the wall". I'm not even gonna point you in the direction of it because it is just so wrong...and I have found out linking to sites with roms is a nono. Google it, find an emulator and whatever tools...and have fun if you care to participate. It is hilarious.
Endorenna Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 LEGO Star Wars--the one with the prequels and the originals. There are some absolutely priceless jokes in there.
Apprentice_Greenwood Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 There's not much to disagree with on Sabretooth's list and his following post about Max Payne 1&2 (though I've not played Mario & Luigi or Portal). Psychonauts has been the cleverest, funniest and just all-round genius game I've played in years, and though my adolescent years are telling me I'd be betraying them to do so, I kinda wanna place it above Monkey Island 1 & 2. The original Sam & Max has to in my list, Armed & Dangerous would be in there too (darn, but LA seem to have cornered this market), and then some of the older and lesser known UK development scene for C64 and Amiga, games like Cannon Fodder, Simon The Sorcerer, C.R.E.A.T.U.R.E.S 1&2 (not the AI game of the later 90's, these were sideways-scrolling platform games with a pretty twisted sense of humour and torture screen puzzles which were absolutely brilliant) and lots of other point & click and text-based adventures. Also, Z, Z:Steel Soldiers and many of the Dizzy games, all from Codemasters but spanning two decades and various platforms. I've got a feeling I've forgotten a bunch of others, but that probably means they wouldn't be so humorous if I played them again now. The VTM Bloodlines radio is great, but I agree that there's nothing like enough of it, plus most of it can be found for real on late-night shortwave (and that's not to diss late-night shortwave as such, but some of the callers... and hosts...). Never got round to playing Giants, Boba Rhett,would you consider it still worth playing, humour aside? I always meant to get it, but never did.
Jae Onasi Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Speaking of funny extras in a game, Vampire the Masquerade's radio is the funniest I've ever heard in any game The TV segments were funny, too, especially since they'd change as you advanced through the game. It was especially funny if you played as a Malkavian, since there were extra segments just for you.
Q Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Yes, the Malk segments are awesome, and took me completely by surprise because I avoided the VtM:B thread here like the plague before I played the game, and therefore got the full effect. I'd have to say that, overall, VtM:B is probably the funniest game I've ever played. Now I want to go play it again when I should be testing all of my old games for Vista compatibility.
