What is the subtlest plot device in any video game?? What I

In Deus Ex, there is a guy in NYC's bar that would ask you for a drink. If you offer him one, he'll thank you and proceed to spoil the entire plot of the game. But no one really takes him seriously on their first run.

Ignore the obnoxious voice of the game playing.

If you see a good/ally character in a Japanese game who wears glasses and usually keeps his eyes squinted/closed, odds are he's going to betray you later.

That's not subtle. Japanese stuff is usually as formulaic as it gets.

Here's a popular one, there's a psychic vampire character in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines on the beach who tells you not to "open it".

The main theme of the first Silent Hill is that almost everything you see is a materialization of Alessa's fears. In the Midwich Elementary school, there's a book you come across that talks about a hunter fighting a lizard, this book foreshadows a boss you're soon going to fight and how to defeat it.

Battle City flashbacks of Seto and the priests rebelling against Atem.

Thanks, but I was referring to the greentext. I guess you/him, didn't mean anything.

I never got to watch part Waking the Dragons so I don't know if they ever dueled or not.

One I can think of is in the Persona 4 Arena duology where the first game teases the main villain with the same powers as the one from Persona 2 but in the end it was just an OC which isn't surprising since Atlus loves to pretend anything predating 3 doesn't exist.

A few year back, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, I said something about moot not likely going to keep running 4chan before he hit his 30s, I guess you could say that foreshadowed 4chan's future

You do, that's the entire last season since they realized they couldn't keep the show going any longer. Everybody hated the ending, it was fantastic.
Guess who turned out to be dead all along.

Hold on, does Slifer's ability work that way?

Not sure about slifer but every other card in that video does not fucking work like that.

>>322358561
Osiris and the other Egyptian Gods have many abilities, some anime exclusive.
The one that you see are:
>The ATK and DEF is the number of cards held by the Duelist x 1000.
>When an opponent summons a monster, this card attacks that monster immediately, reducing that monster's ATK or DEF by 2000, depending on if it is in Attack or Defense Position. If that monster's ATK or DEF is 2000 or less it is destroyed.

Because Battle City was when they actually started using the game's rules.
Either way, more than half of the people who watch Yu-Gi-Oh don't know shit about the game so they need some explaining about what's going on, just look at /a/rc-v general.

I wish the cards never got added to the manga. It was a lot more fun reading about a psychotic killer child.

If there's no suitable candidate the final boss will be an ancient evil or some shit.

I preferred the original series.
The episodes were a lot more exciting and unpredictable. Attacking moons and firing turtles included, and they were amazing.

Now the episodes read like tournament logs between two people with bad decks and supernatural draw luck.
