This dude would have started up Quake and then never quit because the quit screen would basically call you a pussy for leaving.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 year ago

I'm still stuck in Doom.

I can't quit Alpha Centauri because "Dont go. The drones need you. They look up to you"

[-] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

So plaintively. Got me every time. I guess I could stay for a few more Winamp songs...

[-] Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world 113 points 1 year ago

Far cry 4, wait when bad guy said to wait for him. Ending credits play.

It's 4

3 was Vas. He hated you.

4 was the flamboyant guy. He actually liked you at the beginning, and you betray his trust by jumping out the window

FC5 also has the option to finish the game in a couple of minutes if you do what the antagonist asks. Don't remember what exactly it was, leave with your team, I believe.

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Developers just casually adding intended game mechanics that makes the speed run incredibly boring.

[-] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

FC6 too. In the beginning you're only helping the resistance so they'll give you a boat to escape to Miami. Once they give you the boat you're supposed to join them anyway, but if you take the boat and sail far enough away you'll get a cutscene where you escape to Miami and later watch the fall of your country on the news.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

Haven't played 6, but at this point I expect them to add a quick ending scenario in every sequel.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was better than the real ending because they pussed out and made the crazy fundies right for some reason.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 68 points 1 year ago

I wear that achievement as a badge of honor. We are not the same.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

Can someone explain the context of this to me?

[-] ieatmeat@lemmy.world 102 points 1 year ago

In the beginning when you explore one of the starting areas you can encounter a prostitute who offers herself for cheap. If you agree, she tells you to follow her into some backroom. However, there is a giant dude waiting inside who knocks you unconscious and takes all your money (it's scripted, you can't escape this fate once you enter the backroom).

I like games that give you a little slap upside the head for being stupid. All things considered, losing the paltry amount of early game currency in Metro is getting off pretty light compared to some games.

[-] Doxin@pawb.social 15 points 1 year ago

In Stray you can put a paper bag on your head. It inverts your controls for a bit. I liked that.

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Just get the rest of the achievements and say you wanted to get all the achievements.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 year ago

Maybe I am overlooking it, but I don’t see this achievement in my Steam account.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

That sounds like a dick move on the part of the developers, I'd wonder if I really want to keep playing the game after that.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 year ago

Lollipop Chainsaw has another. "Accidentally" maneuvering the camera to upskirt the main character.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

That one sounds a bit more deserved.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'm only human

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Nier Automata has an achievement like this too. I never unlocked it the normal way, but something I really liked about that game is after you beat it there is an NPC that will "sell" you any achievements you haven't unlocked yet.

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

It's a suspiciously low price, and the interaction is just a little off. It's clearly fishy.

It also happens so early that the mugging doesn't take away much even if you fall for it.

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I never saw that character in the game, but there are dozens of other reasons to hate Metro 2033.

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago
[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago

Not OP, but my only gripe was it scared the shit out of me lol

[-] addie@feddit.uk 15 points 1 year ago

I quite liked all the people complaining about 'unrealistic' Russian accents, and every single character in the game is voiced by a native speaker. Many lols. Bit like people complaining about Yvonne Strahovski's 'phoney' Australian accent playing Miranda in Mass Effect.

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Maybe you're mixing up the Russian voice actors with the English voice actors. Some of the English voice actors originated from the USSR but most of them were American and they did some weird Russian accent thing. I guess that would be the criticism, but if someone complains about unrealistic Russian accents and you can replace them with actual Russian voice lines just use the Russian voice lines, they're pretty good.

With one exception of course. In Metro Exodus the character Sam is American and the Russian VA is supposed to do an American accent speaking Russian. That is the most jarring shit ever because it sounds exactly like it is, a Russian trying to do an American trying to speak Russian. They should've just gotten an American VA to read Russian and it would've sounded better.

[-] Moah 4 points 1 year ago

VAs are asked to exaggerate their accents on a regular basis. Don't know if it's the case in the example you mention but native speakers are not necessarily a guarantee of a realistic accents

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It's just not fun. I uninstalled it after an hour.

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Not liking a game is not a reason to hate a game.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 1 year ago

I strongly believe this is fake πŸ₯±

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago

Ha, dude bought a macbook at the end. Scammed twice in one Greentext.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, now he can work all day on battery instead of having to carry around a charger because the shitty ass laptop is out of battery in 2 hours somehow, depite being much slower than the macbook

[-] Electric_Druid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Cheerleading for brands is cringe
