10 Times Games Understood THE GAMER MIND

[@corey2232]

If you think wasting 3 minutes climbing to get a middle finger is bad, then what is Breath of the Wild wasting hours collecting Korok seeds, just to reward you with a golden turd?

[@Grimm196]

Same thing with Tears of the Kingdom, except the golden turd has an extra coil.

In Mario Odyssey, there's this one "out of bounds" area you could only reach by doing a some super long and super high chain jumps. The devs actually put a large pile of coins in that "secret" area. It's not even a curious looking area. It's as out of bounds as they come, yet the devs expected some people to try and go up there.

[@YusifAgayev-ck1br]

There’s alternate versions of the peeping tom encounter in RDR2. My favorite one is a couple lying on a bed together, completely strung out on opium, telling each other how much they want to… have sex… but, instead of anything happening, the woman passes out and the guy falls off the bed and hits his head on the floor, also knocking himself out. Arthur just comments to himself “man… imagine being this pathetic… it’s almost sad” or some shit 😂

I've never heard of that #1 game, but just 2 hours ago, I joked to my wife playing FF7 Rebirth that it'd be funny if one of those radio towers with optional additional climbing had nothing but a poster with a middle finger on it.

[@alwayswrite2011]

What about Prey's "Treasure Hunt"? If you try to cheat your way to the reward, which I'm sure many have tried, you get the "Game Master’s Ire" fabrication plan, which is a suit chipset that will decrease the yield of recyclers, reduce your speed when crouched, and make your flashlight batteries deplete faster. The exact opposite of the proper reward, "Adventurer's Toolkit."

[@rexosuitmk2577]

I mentioned this and the double-arm conversation you can get when you do the second-to-final step for both endings.

There's actually one more call out in Undertale if you try to talk with Toriel after reloading. And it's not the only situation that happens either. Or if you reload to the start after playing the game for a while.There's a lot of dialogs you wouldn't expect

[@Kiraffa05]

There's too much "I knew you would do that" kind of situation in Undertale

[@SirNoobWulf]

One of the best exploitation of gamer brains is Far cry 5. When one of the bosses(Jacob I think) kidnaps you he puts you through a shooting gallery. This happens everytime and by the 4th time, everyone is tired of it and just trying to get through it as fast as posible. Well that 4th time, in the story, you are actually attacking your own base and allies and the game has successfully brainwashed you into killing people in that base xD

[@generalpenultimo6502]

I love that in Oblivion once you attack Sheogorath not even entering into "God mode" per console commands, which normally makes you invincible, will be able to save you. I was really surprised when I tried to survive the fall by simply enabling it but still bouncing of the ground and dying. Attack a daedric prince and live with the consequences I guess 😄

[@aaronworthing1023]

1. In South Park the fractured but whole, if you remember or use a guide to get the door code to the basement, Cartman will roast you as being Tom Brady, meaning a cheater 2. you could probably fill up a whole list with a Nolan North Deadpool game. One example is that if you’re going the right direction and fighting the enemies it will say something like “you know you’re going the right direction because you’re fighting enemies.”

[@jrm967]

Or if you just know the south park series the code is quite obvious

[@andrewdreasler428]

15:00 You climb all the way up there, just to get the middle finger, TWICE! Once in the graphics, once in the "you wasted all that time to get here, waste more getting back." Truly an epic-level trolling. I can't even hate the devs for doing that, it's just so well-executed, just like the swinging log that breaks free and rolls back.

A bit late to the party, but still, there is another great example of this in Nuclear Throne. When you get to the throne, you walk on the red carpet, as that seems the only appropriate walking space, though the place is much bigger - and get evaporated by a huge beam.

[@NonexistentIntellect]

South park saying you're a cheater for using Cartman's door code before the game tells you it. I literally went straight to the door, messed around and thought this sounds like a cartman phrase and the game called me a cheater.

[@duncanfeyd4056]

In reference to "Alone In The Dark": I always found it irritating when games stopped you from accessing combination locks. The average eight year old can be taught to feel the tension on a combination lock and know when the tumblers line up. It isn't cheating. It's real-world mechanics. We have vibrating controllers. Sensory feedback is used to crack combinations. This isn't rocket science.

In the OG Final Fantasy VII, during the huge materia quest when you take the rocket into space there's a moment like that. You have to enter a password to get the huge materia out of its container, but the password is always the same. You're supposed to just try random inputs and Cid will say things and give hints after each failed attempt. If you get it right first try he says something like you must have already known the password, there's no way you could have guessed it.

What, no mention of Arkham Asylum and it's two acknowledgements of the player? When walking with Joker through the opening interactive cutscene, try dawdling a bit and see what happens to the prisoner you're supposed to be escorting. Also, there is a timed puzzle midway through the game where you are clearly not given enough time to reach your goal. Try to use a vent as a workaround and you'll get an interesting reaction from your tormentor.
