When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game? (lemmy.world)

Yesterday I played the demo of the new game Dispatch and it is all beautifully written, but at some point, while presenting the team in-game, there was a casual funny line, pronounced by a voice off-screen, so without graphical support and I just burst out laughing (I was alone at home, so not pressed by social influence of any kind).

When I stopped, I realized how uncommon this has become lately. As a kid, I found LucasArts games extremely funny and I laughed more than occasionally, but this aspect of video game entertainment has been dying out.

When was the last time you actually laughed out loud while playing a game for something that was actually designed as funny (no Fortnite or CoD shenanigans stories please)?

Um... Slay the Princess, like, last night. Sure it's marketed as a psychological horror game but it's actually pretty funny.

That said, I'm also often streaming things with friends and we riff the whole time so even the least funny games ever will get a laugh at some point. Lol

I loved it, but I wouldn't laugh out loud at any of the moments in it.

Some Neon White dialogues have me laugh, but there was one level that baited me so badly, I couldn't stop laughing. Incredibly recommended game, although I'll never forgive the devs for not adding a map editor.

Most recently Trials Rising. Its the worst of the series ive played so far, but i hadn't played one in about 10 years and id forgotten how funny some of the crashes are.

Last night I accidentally tripped Hitman's Diana Burnwood over with a bunch of grapes and she fell ass up. I was completely taken off guard because i expected her to take a different route and her escort to slip on the grapes later. It was funny as hell.

I love playing Role playing servers and it’s hilarious everyday!

A couple of minutes ago.

I played Helldivers 2 with some noobs.

We finished all objectives and were going for extraction.

One guy was walking past me with a portable hellbmomb backpack. You don't even have to play the game to guess what that is. The name nails it perfectly.

You can arm the hellbmomb backpack yourself - but it can be activated by your teammates as well.

It's kind of a dick move, but I couldn't resist. Poor guy got blown up into a bazillion pieces.
