10 Times Developers KNEW We'd Do Something STUPID

I'm so cautious that at times I have to humor the game to get it to progress in times when you have to make an obviously dumb mistake to continue. There was this game I played a while ago, I forget what it was, but to even begin the games events you have to use some obviously dangerous item and after trying to figure out what to do for a while, I found out that you *had* to use it.

While Volo is annoying, he actually knows what he's talking about, mostly. During my Dark Urge play thru I finally listened to him instead of skipping and ignoring, and found his words, while annoyingly delivered, were truthful and accurate.

There's also Amid Evil; if you try to go outside the gateway building to try to explore the outside, you'll die & get the "Abysmal" achievement.

5:57 this is actually based on a real life story from 12th century. When Henry II, Count of Champagne threatened grand master of Hashashin Rashid ad-Din Sinan, that his army was stronger and he could destroy them at any time, Rashid smiled and ordered two of his subordinates to jump off of a tower and they did so without hesitation. Count was shocked, acknowledged that he may have the numbers but these were some unhinged zealots and let the Nizaris be. The main difference between this story and the game is that IRL everyone involved (including those jumpers) knew they were going to die and they did die indeed...

[@tibedog5629]

Number 5: First time I played this game was a few years it came out. I was like "Wonder if I will die?" Jumped up, got hit and died I laughed when it popped up and was like "00.008% of players have done this" after all those years not many had done that. Also : Mercenary Zoophobia ... okay lol.

That first one reminds me of Toxic Bunny, just that nothing bad happened in it, if you deplete all 5k of your first weapon's ammo, you get a complete refill, and also get ammo for all the in-game weapons that have an ammo counter, so doing so in the beginning means you have some of the best weapons from the start😅

One of those conceits that video games tricks players into believing, that things like bails of hay or bags of garbage will comfortably break your fall from several stories up. A bail of hay might as well be a stack of cinderblocks if you fall more than about 6 feet onto it. As for garbage bags, there could be almost anything inside; like razors, needles, broken glass, all kinds of bent jagged metal, or just slimy, smelly nastiness.
