lol that is funny as fuck it is embarrassing if a family member walks in they'll think your playing a horrid porno but on a side note i have to play that just for the scene you shared. considering what company was responsible for the localization im not surprised at the scene now. yeah im talking about nis
What makes it awkward is Peach's reactions. Where you would expect shock and denial, instead you get "I'm you're mama..." & "...so you're Bowser's son?", all of which suggests that she's fully aware of the idea that she's Bowser's baby-mama, and that it's correct.
I'd like to submit a whole bunch a scenes of super paper mario. I know it's a parody-thing, but still...
-you have to pay 1'000'000 $ because you broke a vase that was put there ON PURPOSE. Nice going on the heroism there...I never played a RPG where the main character is such a wuss he just agrees to it.
-you have to look for whats-her-name....and you finally find her. In the ladies restroom.
-...we now interrupt this boss fight to bring you...a television quiz about the game!!!
-while trying to rescue some tribe (in a desert, iirc), you get stuck with some blocks you have to hit in a certain order. Unfortunately, the guy that knows the code won't tell it to you unless you suck up to him and go all PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEEE!!!! To make matters worse, he ends up calling you a wimp or something at the end. Boy...I don't have a top-ten of my most hated videogame characters, but that cameo certainly has a high spot.
For PC gamers...UT2004 introduced vehicles for furious outdoor combat. You had some sort of hovercrafts, tanks, futuristic helicopter thingies, a dunebuggy with deadly blades on the side...and one toilet car. Unlike the other vehicles, it had no weapons. Furthermore, you barely went faster than on foot (or even not at all, if you knew the game physics well enough) and you were pretty much literally a sitting duck in the thing. The good thing was that it just came with the game; it wasn't featured on any map. But because it also came with a level editor, it didn't take long before all sorts of racing maps started appearing where you had to drive that thing to the finish. I got a lot of bad chatter in those games as I just went on foot and shot down the 'racers'.
Oh, and also: UT3. The "story". To those who know the game, it's really 'nuf said. But for those who don't: the UT series (short for 'Unreal Tournament') is a tourney-style FPS. You know the kind: you spawn, you run around the map gathering weapons to kill enemies to gain points and your immediately respawn once you are shot down. Enemies have the exact same statistics; thanks to good AI, the offline part of the game only differs in that the bots don't talk smack as much.
So...obviously, you're not going to buy this game for it's story element, right? Surely it has a tournament in it, right? So you can earn medails, fight tougher opponents or engage in other violent bloodsports like capture the flag and things like that...right?
Wrong. Apparently, some yahoo at Epic games decided that the game shouldn't be set in a tournament but in some sort of warfare environment. And not in the "the fate of mankind depends on if you beat this guy in a straight 1vs1", but in the real sort of warfare. So there were voice-overs that tried to sell you the idea that the area was littered with invisible respawn pods, and that in order to gain ground over the upper hand, you had to kill them until "their respawn pods ran out".
That was the start. And if you think that was ridiculous, you hadn't yet seen how they tried to explain capture the flags ("no...these are "Field LAtency Generators! they just look like flags"), the fact that random characters from previously in the series now filled random cameo's or the attempted climax to the singleplayer campaign that was written by an eight-year old ("oh noes! We shot our way through half the planet to kill their queen, and now these guys know we are here. We were BETRAYED! By a random guy who whas no reason whatsoever!!!").

I am sure the writer did that on purpose lol.
Haven't played Ar Tonelico, but this piece of ING review suggests the same thing:
QUOTEAr Tonelico stretches the bounds of suggestive dialog to its very limits. With lines like, "I hear it hurts when you stick it in," "You can do anything you want to me," and continual references to Lyner being a pervert, this is a pretty sexually charged game. Add in spells that summon cats with vacuum penises and outfits that range from G-strings and demon wings to only a bath towel, and you might be surprised with what you run into during the adventure.
I actually think some of the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates cutscenes are quite awkward.
Trying not to spoil anything:
In one of the earlier cutscenes, Chelinka walks outside. Yuri goes up to her, falls to his knees, and busts out crying like she's just died or something.
