Punch the boulder

Similar to "Jump the Shark" or "nuke the fridge", this idiom is used to describe when a videogame has begun its decadence or a period of bad quality. Named after the events in the final level of Resident Evil 5 when Chris Redfield shows impossible levels of human strength when he punches a boulder in a freaking volcano. It's important to mention that these moments aren't guilty of the changing direction (for worse) of a videogame saga but rather a symbol of it.

Oh my gosh, I thought this game was just campy but after the cutscenes it has definitely came to its "Punch the boulder" moment.
