Yeah disappointing. The stuff in the op isn't that funny tbh.I thought this was gonna be about funny moments that happen in-game, not the zeitgeist around the medium

Make a thread for that topic, then. I'll post in it. No hate, sorry you got clickbaited, but that IS a good thread idea, too.

How did the infamous Xbox One announcement and backlash not make this list? Forcing a connect, focusing almost entirely on the media aspect of the console instead of video games, and then threatening always online DRM. The Xbox One was the catalyst that caused Microsoft to spiral out of control and go third-party.

Yeah, I know there were a few bigger ones I missed, my bad, haha. Could also probably include Stadia in the list of lulzworthy shit. I'm getting old, my dudes.

100% this. Couldn't stop laughing then. Still today, 16 years later, I see it and burst out laughing.

I think of a lot of these as more tragic than comic.
But the G4 thing with the meltdowns from sessler and frosk is hilarious

Aaron Greenberg saying "Hi-Fi RUSH was a break out hit for us and our players in all key measurements and expectations. We couldn't be happier with what the team at Tango Gameworks delivered with this surprise release."
The fact that they then shut the studio shortly after.
Aaron Greenberg is just the perfect embodiment of Xbox.
Horrible, Bloated, says one thing - means the opposite, inexplicably still around.
Oh yeah, was also pretty funny when Fortnite made a Martin Luther King experience level and disabled all emotes but accidentally left the whip emote enabled.

Nothing can beat Concord. Just look at this shit.
$400 million flushed down the toilet because nobody had the balls to tell them that gamers didn't want this.

Man I forgot about this one. I started laughing almost immediately when the twitter guy censored the word "heck".
The comedic timing in the VA's paragraph for the "There were no diversity consultants on this project." is priceless.

Tbh I can't really laugh about shit like concord, so I voted for Craig. Things like Shadows, Veilguard and Concord are more depressing to me than anything. So much money, talent and time wasted.

Tbf halo infinite isnt the same game today it was at launch. More modes and maps than halo 5 now, three variations of firefight (classic, koth, battle for the academy) and with the recent update they finally brought back the carbine and falcon, not to mention customizations for all weapons now.
On top of that, free battle passes that you can buy to play later if you cant complete them in a month is a vastly better system than the usual fomo passes of games like cod and fortnite.
Compared to launch when infinite only had like four modes, a handful of maps, no online co-op or forge, 6 month long passes, only three armor cores with no interchangeable pieces/colors. Its a night and day difference.
The only thing infinite is missing now are ps5/ns2 ports

Reminds me of this classic. Been over a year since the OP:
- complained about an Xbox firmware message that appeared even when the console was unplugged at the wall
- called somebody's entire family mongoloids when he got a flippant reply
- vanished, abandoning his 20-year GAF account, when it was shown that the firmware message was actually his TV
- complained about an Xbox firmware message that appeared even when the console was unplugged at the wall
- called somebody's entire family mongoloids when he got a flippant reply

Dead by Daylight star dies at 29 as fans say her death is 'surreal'
Dead by Daylight voice actress Zoey Alexandria has died aged just 29 from paediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome, which is rare in adults
www.mirror.co.uk
They had a immunoglobulin G deficiency which makes them more likely to get shit like this that killed them... take a guess what dramatically increases the chances of that? Hormonal changes, sucked to be them.
Although it makes the original story substantially less funny when you find out they essentially got their own body to kill itself and died. Just thought people might want to know in a "har har much funny" thread.

I think I laughed the most at the extreeeeeeeeeeeme Konami E3 conference. A lot of the examples from the poll are terrible moments for the industry.
When I clicked the thread I thought it was about in-game moments, so I'm going to post this anyway. It was playing Uno on PS3 or PS4 online with friends. One of them forgot to call Uno, had to draw cards, and in his next turn he kept getting cards he could not play, so he went from 1 tot about 30 or something in one turn. It was ridiculous and glorious.

Yeah, he wasn't prepared for what he saw when he logged back in. Wonder if he deleted his browser history, or just never turned his computer on again.

Im sure they made their life hell, but its a medical condition caused by anouther medical condition which is linked to a swing in hormones, which they where getting pumped full of.
Unless Kiwifarms where mailing them the drugs, unsure how they could of caused it.

XBOX 'Insider' Jez Corden declaring that rumors of MS first-party exclusives coming to PlayStation were 'hard hopium' literal months before XBOX announced they'd be doing exactly that. That he still pretends to know anything about anything happening in this industry is just part of the ongoing hilarity/tragedy.

Definitely Veilguard. Concord wasn't really funny because everyone, including PS fans, knew it was going to fail. Sony was quick to realize it, too, and pulled the game, refunding everyone.
With Veilguard you at least had people who supported the politics of the devs pushing hard against those who did not. Or against people who thought it looked bad in general. It was also funny to see those pushing the game, who probably had no intention of buying it, either, go through the steps of woke game support.
1. Months before launch when people are complaining about the woke garbage in it, "Who cares, you'll buy it anyway and it'll be a hit. Your chud/incels whining has no impact on the sales potential."
2. After the game launches and some BS sales metrics are reported, "See it's a hit despite your whining. Take that chuds/incels."
3. After more of the sales picture is revealed, "Ok, it's not huge, but it'll still make money."
4. After the whole picture is realized, it's one of two things. "It just wasn't a good game to begin with. It has nothing to do with the woke stuff." Or, "OK, it was a sales disappointment, but it deserved better, and it's all because of you bigoted chuds/incels."
Watching this cycle play out several times in the past few years is always hilarious.

It is still a souless cash grab trying to sell everything they can without maintaining any kind of coherence style. And the "But it is free!" is a bad excuse, nobody asked them to do so.
I hope they just port the MCC and let Infinite to just root, until the next flop with the UE comes along, lets see what they blame this time.

The sad thing about Concord is that we will probably never have an accurate insight on what the hell happened at Firewalk, the few tidbits we know paint a picture of a arrogant woke leadership, which shut down any criticism it got.
But no "Gaming Journalist" will want to expose that

The main reason was that Arkane's fans wouldn't stop talking about how they would blindly buy anything the studio made.
Starfield not being on the list is amazing because it shows how people have forgotten it even exists.
People made threads about what they would eat, or whether they would sleep with their wives or not, just so they could spend more time playing the "once in a generation" game.
Microsoft gave early access to all the Xbox shills they could find, which made the initial scores higher than they ended up being.
Phil Spencer saying that even 10/10 games would not help Xbox was funny too

Recent stuff is funny, I think Concord takes the cake for how fucked it was with all that money and no one saying shit.
Dragon Age makes me sad as hell, even though I got it for free it doesn't give me an incentive to even play it. I LOVED Origins and 2.
Also, seeing classic GAF gifs and threads takes me down on a nostalgia filled lane. Lol
