6 Glitches That Turned Games' Cutscenes Into Clown Shows

Far Cry 4's Fun Catastrophe

Open world games usually trigger cutscenes by having players move into a designated area where they'll be trapped and force-fed some sweet, sweet exposition. Far Cry 4 is one of those games, but its "move into the designated area" thing doesn't specifically mention players have to walk there. So player Sundaesplit just didn't. He got into a helicopter, flew over the cutscene area, and jumped right off. This prompted the cutscene to start just like you'd expect.

But the game just couldn't ignore the helicopter left unmanned above the cutscene area -- one conveniently filled with bystanders -- which gave it a perfect opportunity to showcase of Far Cry 4's realistic physics.

Since he enters a scripted cutscene, both the main character and the girl he's talking to are stuck staring at the tragedy in horror.

There's Something About the Waters of Tsushima

If you thought this batch of messed-up monstrosities wasn't going to involve some uncomfortably sexy content, we must admit we're disappointed. Ghost of Tsushima allows players to join the titular Ghost in a very peculiar session of steamy hot ... springs bathing. 

While most players interested in merely seeing a naked samurai have a warm bath will get to do just that, some might get a monkey's paw version of that wish. They'll get to see what Redditor jttattoo did -- a samurai doing a beyond human display of yoga skills before an apparent attempt to swallow his sword. (Not the katana.)

Killing Off Joel in Style in The Last of Us 2

The Last of Us 2 drew the ire of thousands of newly graduated narrative experts from Internet University for killing off Joel, the main character from the first game. To be fair, TLOU 2 doesn't merely kill Joel but does so in such a figuratively (and literally) blunt way that it came off as a big gut punch for everyone -- as was intended.

"Hold Your Horses" bears no meaning in Skyrim

Skyrim became a large enough phenomenon that even its opening cutscene is known by many who don't even know what the game is. The intro shows the playable character gaining a conscience while all tied up on a trip to his own execution. Despite it being pretty obvious that the main character isn't going to die right before the adventure starts, it still does a good job of showing the harshness of that world. That is unless the game happens to glitch out in a way that the horses pulling the carriages start to go on a little detour.

Resident Evil 2's Glitched Out Purgatory

Numerous TV shows and films feature plots so shoddy they leave fans no alternative other than to weave wild theories where the characters have been all dead/in purgatory all along or whatever. These are usually proven to be unfounded unless the fans in question have just finished Resident Evil 2's remake and ended up getting the glitched-out ending. Whereas the real ending shows the three main characters blowing up the final boss and successfully escaping the city to reach a desert, the "alternative" version shows them escape into a reality devoid of anything ...

... except for asshole truckers.

GTA's Trevor Finally Getting What's Coming to Him

Trevor from Grand Theft Auto V is the game's most popular character-- which comes either from him being just the worst or from his devastating good looks.
