10 Video Game Bosses That React To You Being A Jerk

[@iapetusmccool]

Halo CE: in the first level, when you leave the bridge after meeting the captain, your gun gets enabled, and the door to the bridge closes and locks. But there is a very brief moment when you can get back onto the bridge after your gun enables and before the door closes. Which means if you want to be a jerk you can shoot the bridge crew. Whereapon Cortana announces that you've gone rogue, the exits all lock down, and another door opens releasing a squad of marines and an unkillable Sgt Johnson to take you down.

[@justintung7981]

Kronos from Hades 2 actually unpauses your game during the boss fight, and he'll do it multiple times. But if you pause 4 times in a row he'll let you, but he'll give you a snide remark.

[@matrixphijr]

"Boss that appears if you pirate the game and can't be killed" Gamers: "Finally, a worthy opponent!"

That actually makes people want to pirate it

[@philiphunn194]

Mirror’s Edge has a mechanic where if you try using a pirated copy, Faith slows down when she approaches the edge of a rooftop, making it impossible to actually start the game.

[@FatManJackson]

How does that even make sense? Someone cracking a game can literally change the files and mechanics, therefore removing that "pirate detection".

[@sirrismendozasunlessrealms5775]

@@FatManJackson The devs themselves plant a "pirated" version with the game release from different sources. It will then get downloaded and shared unaware for those who were wise enough to believe there would be a pirated version on release. They basically release a fishy pirated version. Which shouldn't be a problem nowadays with things like Pirate Bay; but back in the days, it was a haggle sometimes with how many sites came and go.

The OG failure for acting like a jerk was “Karateka” on the Commodore 64 This very difficult karate themed fighting game had you defeating numerous enemies through several levels to rescue a princess. When you finally made it to the princess, if you did not bow to her with respect before you approached her, she instant killed you. Brutal!

[@lazarushernandez5827]

I remember that one, it wasn't enough that you had to bow to her, you had to bow to her at the proper distance. IE you couldn't just enter that screen, bow and rush to her. Also given that she could one-shot the player for lack of respect, how did she get captured in the first place?🤔

[@kylepeterson6326]

An example that kinda fits here that very few people have probably played (but I personally loved) is "The Last Remnant". In that game you are actually punished for farming weak enemies. The reason being the game kept track of a rough number of enemies you had killed in the form of you battle rank. This basically acted as a level up system for your enemies. The higher your battle rank the more powerful every enemy in the game became. Battle rank however didn't affect your unit's strength in anyway. This meant if you killed lots of weak enemies that didn't yield much XP you could actually soft lock your whole play through because the enemies would out scale you.

[@oshirockingham9655]

ha true! I remember my first playthrough ramping up BR and then getting overwhelmed in the later stages, while my second playthrough avoided unnecessary combat mae me finish the game with ease.

[@kitsunekimchi118]

Firstly, THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE LAST REMNANT!!!! That game doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. Lastly, I never knew that. It makes sense why it took me 150 hours still stuck in the middle of the game and unable to beat normal enemies after grinding. I need to replay that game one day.

7:40 Zagreus is not a demigod, both of his parents are gods therefore he is also a god. ... 3:00 Ocelot gives the same warning in both the PS1 and PC versions of the original MGS, Twin Snakes added Ocelot pointing at the screen while giving the warning whereas in the original he just says it to Snake.

[@sirrismendozasunlessrealms5775]

Zagreus is a demigod in Hades since the retelling of the tale of Persephone shows her not to be Demeter's and Zeus daughter, but instead Demeter's and a mortal man. She is a demigod; therefore in the game, Zagreus is also a demigod. This is why Zagreus, unlike his father Hades, can survive the Styx for a few hours before dying when outside the Underworld.

Piracy is a moral imperative and I welcome the challenge

[@NeoLotex]

Gothic II had a similar mechanic to Serious Sam, except it didn't spawn an enemy, but basically just took awaya crucial path if you used a bad crack. At one point you'd have to go to Orc territory or something like that and you'd change maps, but that didn't happen here. The path would just become more and more narrow and then it just stops: wall at the end and that's it.

[@Zuginator]

Re: Ocelot. I'm really against this because it disadvantagizes disabled gamers who can't do that kind of rapid pressing. I was so glad when that entire mechanic now has a press button for people where like rapidly tapping the thing is uncomfortable or impossible.

I have a Steam account and anyone can see I own Half Life 2. I had a real big problem with Half Life not progressing. The AI stopped working and I couldn't get through a door and continue the story. I asked for help on the forums and was mocked for having a pirated copy, but my copy wasn't pirated. It turns out that the DRM thought I had pirated it though, and it was because I had turned off the cookies in my Windows Explorer Browser. I figured it out by working backwards through everything I had done to my computer between the last time I had played Half Life 2 and it stopped working. I didn't want to believe it was because of the web browser settings, but it was. I hate DRM.

Never take a game you haven't paid for. Never fail to take a game you have paid for. That's the rule re: so-called "piracy." No seller has any right to take away anything you paid them to provide. And any technique necessary to prevent them from doing so is both legal and moral.

[@TheUncleRuckus]

The hilarious thing about CDPRs fix with the Chort in Witcher 3 is that the Chort will still infinity respawn in White Orchard even after the supposed fix. To get it to respawn all you have to do is fast travel out of White Orchard after you've killed it then fast travel back and within a minute or two of your arrival the Chort will respawn, from there you can easily farm the Chort as much as you want. I actually only noticed this on accident after I traveled back to White Orchard so I could buy the Gwent cards and talk to the Dwarf blacksmith. I've tested it dozens of times and eventually ended up killing 34 Chorts using this method. Also the Chort is a pushover I smoked my first level 27 Chort at level 6, just hit him with fire then roll to the side and attack, then rinse and repeat. 🤷

im not a jerk just broke :D

[@TOONYBOY]

See, stuff like that first example to me isn't cheating. It's not a glitch or anything where you break the physics of the world, it's just you using common sense to overcome a poorly constructed challenge. Now I'm not saying that to the perspective of the game devs, I'm going for the immersion angle and saying that in universe, the boss has chosen to fight you in this arena and he's created a gauntlet that's easily circumvented. It'd be like if a villain is supposed to be taken as the scourge of the earth and the end of existence as we know or something dramatic, and I just waltz over to a tightrope across a gap and the boss can't reach me and accidentally falls to his death. That's not cheating, that's just using the tools of your environment mixed with common sense. That's why you've got to love fights in games that're designed to accommodate the different ways the player is likely to approach the challenge. Maybe the boss can jump across gaps or maybe he has a ranged grapple attack he can use to pull you back across the gap, or maybe trying to escape the boss temporarily grants you a small advantage that only lasts so long and is only so effective

[@19TheFallen]

I imagine the notion or idea of punishing hackers by putting something in the game that makes playing an illegitimate copy a living HELL to play is somewhat more appealing or fun to the developers.....Invincible enemies, inventories that wipe themselves periodically, or even eventually lock themselves so the player can't use the locked items, levels that start off seemingly normal before becoming more corrupted or unbeatable, or even start themselves over *just* as you're about to reach the end, meaning that everything you did is wiped out.
