Schafer has an ear for clever dialogue, but his real strength is characterization. The folks at Double Fine, the Tim Schafer-led developer, make comedy look incredibly easy, particularly when Schafer is writing the script. And even with all the laughs, the plot still found room for genuine drama and pathos to add some balance to the outing. The actors own their roles, wringing every laugh possible out of the very clever script. Simmons Cave Johnson, the founder of Aperture Science. The world of Portal gets even deeper as you encounter the posthumous recordings of J.K. Even when he became malevolently evil, he was still the same dopey goof trying his best to pretend he meant to break everything. And she isnt the only character spouting ludicrously amusing dialogue in Portal 2.įrom the moment I met Wheatley I couldnt get enough of the bumbling AI played by Stephen Merchant. Additionally, she stays just as funny when she becomes your unwilling ally.
The slow escalation of GLaDOSs insanity in the original made her one of the funniest enemies ever battled, and her outright contempt for you is just as humorous in Portal 2. Its true that both Portal games are among the funniest ever developed, but for the sake of brevity, I'm only putting Portal 2 on this list. You haven't seen funny until you've played. And I'm talking about comedic games, not serious titles with comic relief like in Mass Effect or Fallout. They come along so infrequently that its worth celebrating when a release is legitimately funny instead of constantly falling on its face while attempting to craft the perfect fecal pun.
(FART! See? I couldnt resist.) Thats why I respect the few games that make humor look far easier than it is. It gets worse when you mix the immature nature of gamers with the challenge of stretching a funny concept over more than eight hours of gameplay is what makes an over reliance on fart jokes are so very tempting. For every clever joke, there are a hundred immature goofs like Duke Nukem chortling at some double entendre about boobs. Based just on how many terrible attempts at comedy gamers have seen, I dare say humor is even harder to pull off in that medium than it is in films or TV.
