The best are the ones that incorporate mechanics into the breaking the 4th wall.
999 where it incorporates multiple playthroughs into story progression.
Metal Gear Solid such as the Psycho Mantis fight.
Undertale incorporating multiple playthroughs and turning the game off.
Silent Hill where it pretended to delete your saves and glitch to mess with you. Or was that Eternal Darkness?

Any other examples?

NIER true ending
"A third playthrough presents the player with a choice in the ending to save Kainé, who is seen to be dying in agony; Nier can either kill her to end her suffering, or sacrifice his life for her. The latter choice not only erases all memory of him from the other characters' minds, shown in a final cutscene, but also deletes all of the player's saved progress, as if the game had never been played. Moreover, if the player wants to start a new game, they will be unable to enter the same name chosen for the previous playthrough for the Nier character." - Wikipedia

Probably MGS2 for blatant 4th wall breaking. Planescape: Torment for subtle 4th wall breaks.

4th wall breaking these days is just lazy. Stanley Parable, Undertale, whatever this weeb garbage is >>339216460, etc. It's basically a supplement for good writing and for some reason people are still impressed by it.

Nope, that's just your strong desire to seem special and different from everyone creeping in and blurring your opinions.

The gameplay isn't good at all, but the story and events are interesting. The game's a fucking mess, but so much so it ends up feeling extremely unique. Kinda like a B-movie appeal.

I thought the segment was stupid back then and this was before I discovered the internet. I look at it and it's still stupid and pointless since MGS4 sums it up as "WE MANIPULATE AND CONTROL THE FLOW OF INFORMATION"

AW's plays with the UI a lot more then that too

Since the burst gauge represents asura's anger, it will flare up or go down in response to stuff happening in cutscenes, which can be funny.

Also, towards the end of the game and in the DLC, it uses multiple inputs for the same button to do shit like pic related.
>>
>>339221140
It looks like a late era PS2 game lot of the time and the gameplay is worse than RE4 in almost everyway, but god damn does it draw you in with its narrative and characters. It's also a Japanese devs take on american small town, so if you like Metal wolf chaos, disaster: day of crisis etc etc you'll dig it. also the closest thing we've seen to a Twin Peaks vidya

4th Wall break along with trying to be "deep" or take itself seriously are hack-frauds and failures
Example: Bravely Second

4th wall breaks that don't take themselves seriously, try to be fun, or fuck with the player are great
Example: MGS1

take a step back and realize what you just said.
You are trying to compare Deadpool to MGS1. Deadpool is on the same level as Borderlands 1, it tries to force memes as "jokes"

That isn't being fun, it's being try-hard

>>339232553
You're enjoying a game and don't want it to end only for a character to literally rip through the credits roll and tell you nothing is over. It was also executed well and sets up Hades as a really fun villain. The fact that there was so much content left as well really made you appreciate when it happened.

in 5 ocelot will tell you to "push such and such button" without missing a beat, I never really took it as 4th wall breaking. Just "we thought it would be more immersive to just pretend everyone uses WASD to walk irl"
>>
>>339231703
Because the freaking out came before the fight, and said freaking out likely led to the loss. Also, there are a lot of people that got fucked bad on Flowey's very first segment. It's only from the second segment and beyond that you start getting into the flow, and the segments get shorter.

Oh, it's definitely shitty, but it's cool that they actually went there. Taro has a knack for definitely pursuing those angles of game design that, while maybe not necessarily or particularly good, will definitely get some kind of reaction out of you.

It's the kind of design that reminds you that occasionally, there are those games where your decisions carry more weight than four ways to say yes and some flavour text.

Keep in mind that in order to even get that ending, you have to grind out some really, really awful things that aren't even close to easy to get, with some horrendous RNG and ass-backwards mechanics. They really went the full course to make that punch to your gut as painful as it could be.

>>339229615
From a mechanical perspective, I suppose not, but when you actually play the game, that information that the character was erased becomes sort of a... momento? A record? Something to remember them by, instead of treating them as just a game character.

Nah, judging a character like Hades himself, I'd see it coming from a mile. Hell, Hades from Hercules would have done the same thing, it's nothing new and original.
Most "4th wall breaks" are expected or forced. Uprising does have a mix of both, but at least it doesn't go Sonic Colors meta. Pic related.

4th wall breaking is a story telling tool like anything else. Used correctly it can enforce the message/meaning the story is trying to convey. Just look at MGS2 or Ar Nosurge to see that.

Of course it can also used wrong in which case its cringeworthy at best.
