What game or scene in a game took you the longest time before you understood the meaning behind it? (alien.top)

When I was young and had a super nintendo I loved playing Super Mario RPG.

I'm playing the remake and I'm at the scene after defeating Valentina. Mallow goes into the castle and Mario was left standing outside.

Back then I didn't know why Mario pulled out an umbrella and it rained. I just realised after 20 years of playing the original that Mario knew it was going to rain because whenever Mallow cries it rains; Mario knew that Mallow would get all emotional when meeting his parents for the first time.

Blew my mind.

The scene in Silent Hill 2 where you’re in a room with Angela and it’s basically a construct of the sexual trauma she endured from her brother and father.

When I first played SH2, I kinda innocently didn’t realize all the huge implications in front of your face.

The boss character (aptly named “Abstract Daddy”) is quite literally designed to look like a huge hulking man, on a bed, underneath bed sheets, doing…something.

The worst was realizing that the fleshy pistons pumping in and out in the room were meant to be seen as “foreign objects” entering…Nah, I’ll stop there.

Abstract Daddy is the most blatant. But there is a lot of psychosexual implications in SH2. That early scene with Pyramid Head. All the Nurse enemies can be interpreted as James fantasizing about nurses while his wife was in the hospital. Maria appearing as a 'sexy' version of Mary to tempt him, etc.
