Mass Effect 3/Narm

• If Shepard doesn't resolve Steven Cortez's personal struggles before embarking on the final mission, an in-game cutscene occurs where Cortez's shuttle crashes and Shepard and his/her human teammates (if they were brought along) each react in the most ridiculous way possible. Freddie Prinze Jr. sounds bored trying to convey anger as Vega ("You're gonna pay for that, you fuckers! WRAGHHHHH!!! Come on! Come on! Yeah!), Kaidan screams for no reason, Ashley sounds like she's either passing a kidney stone or having a toe-curling orgasm, and Male Shepard's reaction is...interesting:

Shepard: STEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Cortez: I'm alright.

'Shepard: (completely deadpan and with no emotion) You sure?

• To some, the Stargazer epilogue for its clunky dialogue delivered by a voice actor (Buzz Aldrin) who seems fond of calling a kid "my sweet", and delivering a blatant in-game advertisement for more DLC content.
• The absurd walking/running animations seen throughout the game. Anderson's floating bowlegged running animation got a lot of comedic mileage pre-release, while the background animations of citizens on the ground running away during the Earth attack (they run with their bodies tilted at a 45-degree angle) and the walking animation of some NPC's on the Citadel (looking down a level at the Presidium Commons shows at least one NPC sliding along the ground without moving his legs) end up being hilariously out-of-place.
• The Kid/Catalyst, especially in the dream sequences, where his legs are moving ridiculously fast while he slowly moves forward, the fact that he often clips over to another position if the player keeps him in sight long enough, and his goofy expressions as he and/or Shepard get lit on fire. It just comes across as trying way too hard.
  • Not to mention that, in any of the slo-mo sequences, you turn at the normal speed. Cue Shepard randomly swivelling in midair.
• There are a lot of ways to kill off the characters in the game. While most of the death scenes are well-done, some are...not so well-done. This compilation shows off most of them, including Admiral Raan nonchalantly shooting herself in the head after the Quarian fleet is wiped out by the Geth, and Henry Lawson stupidly falling off a cliff.
  • If Miranda is killed by Kai Leng, she succumbs to her injuries after killing her father, despite there being no visible wounds on her body except for a few cuts on her face.
