*In Majora's Mask

Following NPCs in Dragon's Dogma will actually change their day to day life. One particular example is Josua, who can be found walking around the urban quarter of Gran Soren. Following him from his appearance to his despawn at at his home at night will actually stop him from spawning the next day. Attempting to talk to him any time after this will cause him to view you as hostile and flee. Giving him the Arisen's Bond will not stop this.

>>274474946
You can stun King Ikana with Deku Link's spin

It never tells you in-game, but in all three Arkham games, you don't have to do the grate-opening button prompt. If you do the running slide, it opens automatically.

In Skyrim you can easily escape Whiterun and run around the world with low poly textures, 2D trees with no hit detection, and areas where the ground isn't even rendered.

That's some information I could have used a long time ago.

Wurmple evolves depending on its personality value, a random and unseen factor.
Rapidly confirming and deconfirming the character select button on bowser and luigi in melee can result in it sounding like loser.
Spamming Raditz' "I'll kill you quickly" is effective in beating a mission in DB raging blast
You can break Halo 3 by detonating enough explosives at once

In Metro: Last Light, the AK-47 rifle is better than the 2012 rifle, in terms of full auto accuracy, mag size and damage per bullet.

Explain further.

You can kill an entire room of those Bubbles in OoT with one Deku nut

You can get into the Goron City shop before getting bombs, by using a lit deku stick on the bomb flowers outside it

In Metroid II, you can do an extra jump after taking damage. Which allows you to go to areas without specific items and shave off multiple minutes in speedruns.

>implying people care about Metroid II

Halo 3 is the only Halo game to use projectile-based shots on long range weapons.

During the final boss fight of MGS3, if you shoot the hidden Kerotan on top of a tree branch it will cause The Boss to get distracted and shoot at it as if it were a thrown magazine.

in pokemon heartgold and soul silver, when you get to the cerulean cape where bill's house is and you take the shortcut back to cerulean city, there's a bunch of "randomly placed" water puddles. However if you walk across the puddles and listen carefully to the noise they make, the timing of the "splash" noise is perfectly in sync with the percussion in the background music. go ahead, try it out. a little music-related trivia from pokemon!

In the Metroidvania games, if you stop time and throw items like knives and axes, they'll freeze in place shortly after you throw them. Once the time's up, they'll go on their intended path. This is a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

It takes about 9 years to fully complete Runescape.
This means completing all quests, tasks, skills, minigames and so on.
It also takes a year to achieve 99 on all skills, if you play 16 hours a day.

In GTA Vice City Stories, you can use the dodo to break through the flight ceiling of the game. This can be used to let you fly up to the top of the tallest building in the game, as well as find building without roofs. You can fly down through these buildings to go under the city. continuing to fly down will let you load the "interiors" area of the game. Down here you can floating boxes that are the rooms of houses and even the inside of the Hymen Stadium.

In the Japanese GameCube version of Wind Waker, the chest underneath Link's house contains a Piece of Heart. It held an Orange Rupee in the US and PAL versions.
The Piece of Heart that was under the house is at the bottom of the Savage Labyrinth in the US and PAL versions of Wind Waker, but in the Japanese version, the prize was a Yellow Rupee

Wrong. The new record for getting maxed (read:99 everything) is 44-45 days. Albeit, this is very unlikely for most players but its been done.

In Super Mario World, the level Chocolate Island 2 will send you to different sublevels depending on a few factors.

The first sublevel depends on the amount of coins you have: the conditions are less than eight coins, less than twenty-one coins and more than twenty-one coins. The second sublevel depends on the timer: 250 or more seconds, 235-249 seconds, or 234 and less.

Ape Escape 3 has an ape version of Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank in exclusively the European and Japanese versions of the game, activated by a special code. In the American version, an equivalent code produces a generic version of Ape Ratchet, a monkey in cyborg armor.
Interestingly enough, looking at unused content it's possible there's an unused code to catch Ape Ratchet, meaning that nobody in the NTSC-U territory has fully, 100% completed the game. I found that out by myself.

The highest scoring attack in Double Dragon for the NES is the headbutt. It is the most logical way to score 50,000 points as it gives you about 1000 a hit. I know this because I wanted to achieve that mythical score they talked about in the Wizard. Between it hurting you for doing it and still trying to beat the level logically, the soonest I got 50,000 points was right at the start of the forest. Good way to level up really quickly.

Hopefully when AM2R comes out there'll be more interest. It's a fun game.

Spread throughout Halo 4 are a number of audio logs that explain pieces of fiction not explained to the player otherwise. No, I'm not talking about the video terminals either. The level "Composer" has the most.

Also in the second level of the game, hidden around the level are at least two SAWs, two rocket launchers and a single shotgun and sniper rifle

I've memorized the hitboxes of all the attacks in Dark Souls.

Except for all the things that made morrowind good. So its more like going to Skyrim.

There are two gold statues near the end of Spec Ops: The Line that, if you look back down the escalator after passing them, will briefly take on different positions. On one play-through one was made of burning flesh. On another one was pointing its fingers like a gun at the other's head. There are actually quite a few of these weird little embellishments in there.

And that undodgeable attack he does where his head chases you? You can avoid it if you roll around in a circle as Goron Link.

I used to play the game religiously for like a month last year

In Super Mario 64, there's a 255 coin limit. If you hit this limit in the Japanese game, you get 'negative lives'. The other versions don't have this. The only way to legitimately do this is to collect all 255 coins from the Bowser fight(s). At that point you can't collect any more coins. The results screen displays a number less than 255 coins at the end.

It's been awhile since I looked into this, so I could be wrong. I even tried this once. It took about an hour.

Its a hallucination that depends on whether or not you shot the gun pinned by the burning truck, or let him burn alive (with a respective statue).

Spec ops is full of stuff like that. Like the general's face on stuff, and I think protag abandons trigger discipline before the end. Also a tree that dies when you look at it again.

There's a buried Lava Cookie in Pokemon FireRed, located directly to the south of the hidden truck near the SS Anne.

The house on Seven isle with the barricaded door allowed you to fight e-Reader trainers in the Japanese version.

You can access the area behind the minigame building on Two Island by maxing out the score counter on the Dodrio Berry Picking minigame. There's nothing interesting there. This is exclusive to the 1.0 version of the game.

You can break the penis off a statue in an early level in MGS4.

It only happens after you use the disguise function of the statue multiple times

Lots of random stuff I've picked up from speedrunning

There's an extra world in Bomberman Hero that most people have never played. You have to have an autofire controller or mash A like crazy as the game starts up. If done correctly, there will be an extra option to select at the main menu
In Sonic Generations, the entirety of Crisis City Modern is loaded behind the white world
The item drops aren't random in The Legend of Zelda. They work off a counter system. If you know the pattern you can get guaranteed drops from enemies
The original System Shock has a similar system but way more complex
Doshin the Giant is hidden in the data files for Twilight Princess

You can sprint and jump over the railing on the left side of the stairs leading down to the buttresses with the two dragonslayer bow silver knights, by passing the obnoxious act of luring the batwing demons out one at a time or even worse the painful fight with all three at once

Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout's fighter roster was entirely decided upon by a Bandai poll of Japanese fans. The roster ended up consisting of SIX different Gokus and only 9 different characters. After it came out everyone complained there was too much Goku

In the PS2 game Galerians: Ash, a track early in the game can be heard during a fight with security robots called Buseki. This very track is a variation of a theme in the Galerians: Rion movie called Short. That theme first appeared in the PSX Galerians game as a track which sampled from Nine Inch Nails' Terrible Lie.

It is the only piece of music that has appeared in every single installment in the Galerians series in some shape or form.

Cultural references

The name Kenny the Cat may be a reference to Tom Kenny, SpongeBob's voice actor. The 1st 2 words was the reference to Discovery Kids' animated TV Series "Kenny the Shark."
Kenny's appearance is similar to Tom from Tom and Jerry (as stated above) and the cartoon version of Salem Saberhagen from Sabrina The Teenage Witch.
The way Sandy thought Kenny was a fraud (and was) could be a reference to celebrities in real life, and how people think about them.

The Silencer treasure in Pikmin 2 had a value of 666 pokos in the japanese release. The waterwraith's rollers can be petrified separately from the creature itself, and it will struggle to move them.

You can hear some developer commentary in Metroid Prime 3 by pressing the right buttons in Samus's ship.

There is a painting of the Skull Knight in Drakengard.

There are a few bosses in the first kingdom hearts game that don't load invisible walls, allowing you to simply leave the area and fight them later

the most interesting one is the reverse armor, because you can have him chase you around the second district of traverse town for almost the entire game, as you only need to beat him to open up the second to last level

In Don't Starve, if you take a character-specific item with you, you'll get another one, but after closing and reopening your save, the second item will be gone.

Cultural references

The flashback where the Lich and shadow figures walk away from the exploding mushroom bomb is similar to the flashback in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind where the god warriors walk through a burning city.
The Mushroom War releasing magic into the world is similar to the backstory of Wizards.
The fleet of planes that Ice King saw flying in the sky were Boeing B-29 Superfortress planes. A B-29 Superfortress is a US-developed heavy bomber that is famous in WWII, primarily used to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The name of the Town that Finn visits shares its name with a post-war settlement from the 1997 Post-Apocalyptic video game Fallout.

In Mass Effect 3, vaginas are modeled on Edi and Banshees.

The cops in Assault do not have an animation for being knocked against a wall or having their throat slit via standing execution, so neither are viable options for killing them
The detectives on floor two are the only enemies in the game that do not kill you when they hit you
Also when reacting to gun fire the detectives prioritize searching the exact location you fired from above everything else, meaning if you fire around a corner and they come running you can walk right past them shooting them and they will not respond to you until they reach the place you first shot from
Killing enemies who do not have a weapon visible on them when they spawn (ie sitting down or on the phone) before they notice you can cause them to drop different weapons than they ordinarily are supposed to be able to; most notable one I found is the very first mobster on Push It always drops a baseball bat if you knock him down but if you execute him through the door he can drop any ordinary melee weapon or any gun
I could give a lot of info on that game, I fucking love it

The first "enemy" in Demon's Souls will never attack you. I guess he's just chilling.

The bayonetta character enzo was originally referenced in the manual for the first devil may cry as an informant of dantes

In MW3, the USAS 12, MP9, and Scorpion give the player a longer sprinting distance. If a player begins to sprint with one of them and switches to a different weapon, the effect will still last until the player can no longer sprint.

This also stacks with extreme conditioning for the longest possible sprint duration.

If you speed up the background tones in the Wii Sports theme by about 1000%, you can here a harmonic version of Totaka's Song.

In Skyrim, if you polymorph into a skeever, the game will crash when you try to change back, since there is no code for it.

There's an invisible PC in the corner of the Celadon City Hotel in Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, if you stand in front of it's square you can access storage as normal.

In pokemon gold/silver, if you go to the house that used to be the pokemon daycare in the previous generation in Kanto, it will be locked and with a sign that says "House for Sale... Nobody lives here."

In pokemon crystal, on the top floor of the Celadon Mansion "talk" to the wall that's part of the structure where the stairs are, you'll get the text "There's graffiti on the wall... PLAYER added a moustache!"

In the 4th generation of games, arceus was introduced, and it's normal type. It can change its type to any type in the game by holding plates. There was until then a typeless type kind, the ???, which had only one move assigned to it, curse. To prevent the game from crashing if arceus happened to take ??? form, a sprite for the ??? form was added into the game. A hacked ??? arceus will act as typeless and take neutral damage and never stab, except for judgement, that will convert into ??? type and deal neutral damage to all pokemon.
??? type was fully removed on the 5th generation and Course switched to being a ghost move.

In the same generation, there was the azure flute, an event-only item intended to unlock some extra scenes/game and allow you to capture arceus in game. This item was never distributed making the arceus impossible to reach through normal means because the producers thought it was going to be an event "too difficult to understand"

In Hotline Miami on Chapter 3: Decadence, It's possible to kill the boss in only two shotgun blasts instead of three. After the boss falls from the 2nd shotgun blast, you can walk onto him and gouge his eyes out then and there. You can also gouge his eyes out after the 3rd blast, before he sits back up and begs you not to kill him, but most people probably already knew that one.
The art used for his fallen sprite is the same for the 2nd and 3rd shotgun blasts, and is probably related to him being killable early.
I found this out by accident while speedrunning.

In the Final Chapter: Showdown, the final boss is momentarily immune to damage after being hit by the first throwing knife. You have to give him a second before throwing the second (and/or third) knife, or it will just go right through him and you'll probably get gunned down for acting too fast.

The Cloaker's 4th wall breaking lines in Payday 2 exist primarily to joke with the community about how much difficulty Overkill Studios had when implementing them. They were originally planned to be in the game on release and were almost entirely finished but they were unable to fix a game crashing bug with them by the time deadlines rolled around. They specifically included lines that referenced peoples' two most common initial reactions to cloakers: wanting to hear their new voice lines and getting upset at the difficulty spike they created when implemented

Earthbound's code can be used as an emulator for itself with only minor tweaking.

in portal1, you can glitch the game in order to take a sentry turret inside glados chamber. You can bait the turret to shoot you and if the missed bullets hits glados, it "dies" instantly (loses the cores)

Alternativelly, without a glitch, from outside the last emancipation grid and outside glados chamber, you can place a portal with a turret in an angle that it reaches glados and bait the bullets. The bullets are not stopped by the emancipation grid and you kill glados even before reaching it ant activating the first events. (you still need to manually pick up the dropped cores and throw them in the fire pit)

In The Last Stand you can continuously fire most automatic weapons while reloading. Usually this will result in bullet casings leaving your gun and your ammo count depleting before being refilled during your reload animation, but bullets will not fly out. The Uzi however does fire bullets while reloading and shooting, and with its high rate of fire and magazine size you can fire a huge stream of bullets out without ever stopping to reload

There is an Easter Egg in Batman: Arkham Asylum that reveals the plot of the second game, Arkham City. However, it was so well-hidden (behind a destructible wall with no indication that it is destructible, or anything other than a regular wall) that the developers just came out and revealed the Easter Egg when it was still undiscovered a few months after release.

The one-armed inmate in Arkham Asylum, the one in the same room as Clayface's cell, is modeled after someone who won a contest to be featured in the game.

Yes, I have read the design principles of the FEAR AI system, I understand that it is the AI in tandem with the level design that makes it such an intuitive system. That doesn't mean the AI isn't impressive, it just means it wouldn't be as impressive without the map layout to give it context.

Standing around without moving for around 10 minutes in the first two Destroy All Humans! games makes the screen go black and white and a comfy 50's song comes on

In about 1/3 of the copies of Sonic Adventure 2 has a game breaking bug that is unavoidable. It takes place at the very end of the game when you play as Eggman. You drop through the floor as soon as his part of the level starts and you can't avoid dying over and over again.

If you have the gold version of OOT you can save and load after ganon knocks your sword away and run around with no sword.

WOOOW ARTIFICIAL ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE

In Conker's Bad Fur Day's multiplayer vs shit, throwing knives are pretty much just better shotguns because if you run right up to people and fire you're guaranteed an instant kill headshot regardless of where you're looking, which is the primary function of the shotgun.
The only difference is it doesn't shoot them in half and leave a stumbling pair of legs behind.

In The World Ends With You, after you beat the main story, Mr. H's store will sell one of the seven Black Planet pins. Which one he sells actually varies based on some variable from the DS Phat you are playing the game on, so in theory if you had enough DS systems you could just buy all the Black Planets
For whatever reason, all DS Lites cause him to sell Black Mercury. Not sure what happens with a DSi or 3DS though.

Either that or I assume everyone already knows any secrets I know.

Wonderful 101 has a unique quicktime failure where Wonder Pink is called on her phone and talks for a few seconds before the speech is sped up and the screen goes black. However, if you fail that event 10 times in a row, the call is no longer sped up, revealing a three minute long conversation where Wonder Pink and Wonder Cheerleader expresses their frustration with "Joe" standing up Wonder Cheerleader on their third date. This is a reference to Viewtiful Joe and how it never got a third game in the series.

Naughty Dog designed a fighter called Way of the Warrior for the 3DO, with Universal Studios publishing the game, and it was made on their final stand. If it wasn't a success, they would of have to shut down.


It was a success, and that Universal studio made a contract to make Crash Bandicoot for Playstation, etc.

In SRW UX, if Liber Legis attacks Demonbane with Shining Trapezohedron, and Demonbane counters with its own Shining Trapezohedron, the game crashes.

This could be a reference to an even in the VNs where those two attacking each other with their Shining Trapezohedronz basically breaks the universe. Either that or it's a really cool coincidence. With Banpresto's track record of weird bugs it's hard to tell.

Oh, Naughty Dog also shared a ton of rendering tech with Insomniac during the development on Ratchet and Clank. It's often falsely claimed they just rebuilt Naughty Dog's engine, but Insomniac actually just wrote the rendering code into their own engine.

Also, No More Heroes has a scene where the main dude's sister turns up. It speeds up like a video tape over the dialogue to match the game's humor, but it actually goes on about how the sister was raped and forced into prostitution or something like that.

Every copy of Donkey Kong 64 came with an N64 Expansion Pak (black cartridge with a red top you put in the front of your N64) because there was an unavoidable game breaking bug if it was played without one

is what you said, which is wrong.

The game rules for Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories are different from the actual TCG because the game was developed before the TCG rules were concrete.

In Resident Evil 2, the crawling Zombie you fight on the bus at the beginning of the game doesn't grunt like other zombies. He really says "Mom", but in a low tone and backwards.

In League of Legends your champion will die if you run out of health.

In Half Life 1 if you take too long to pick up the cake and put it in the trash, Barney will hit you on the neck with his Katana until you do.

In Buu's Fury if you eat all of the senzu beans you get to heal Videl during the tournament and then go back, the game will still act as if you delivered them and you will have the maximum amount of senzu beans in your inventory afterwards.

>>274484165

Another one. In Metro 2033, at D6, right when you finish activating the motors and return to the rangers there's a computer screen you can use that lets you control a machine gun turret.

Also, in Dark Star, you can see a mummified corps of a woman stuck on the walls.

Also pic related is outside one of the levels with Bourbon.

In one of the lower levels of D6, once you're reaching the control room, when you have to activate the rail cart to push the door open, if you stand in front of it and crouch you will phase through the cart and inside, right under the lever is a skull.

You can actually see the kremlin stars from outside the library if you stand near the statute of Dostoyevsky. In the novel looking at them supposedly made you go insane.


There's a bunch of strange shit in 2033. I'm having a hard time remembering a lot of them though.

>>274474946
Against the final boss in Phantom Hourglass, you can counter his hurricane spin with your own spin attack. Doing this instantly sends you into the clashing sequence where you have to rub the screen.
If you properly time a jump and a regular attack with the staff in Dark Messiah, it's actually possible to perform the standing power attack without readying the stance.

In Wario World, the final boss has a second (and more difficult) phase in the Japanese copies.

The level Fungi Forest was originally planned for Banjo Kazooie, but was used for Donkey Kong 64 instead. (I think, could be wrong on this one)

Gamma in Sonic Adventure 1 cannot touch any body of water, even the pool at the hotel and the ocean in the Chao Gardens.

>>274484542
It's implied it might have been planned for BK, but was moved over the DK64 as it might have fit the theme better.
Also Banjo used to have a picture of Donkey Kong on his wall, and it would have had the secret puzzle.

In Black Ops 2, While playing the Nuketown zombie map, you can hear a bus honking its horn.

This is most likely the same bus you use in TranZit.

You can also skip worlds in the game.
After being swallowed by Monstro and watching the first cutscene, you can leave via Gummi Ship as soon as you can control Sora again.
If you finish the first half of Hollow Bastion and come back to Monstro, there is new dialogue between Sora and Riku, the latter who is supposed to have disappeared.

Also, if you complete Deep Jungle before Wonderland, Maleficent captures Snow White instead of Alice.

In HL1 theres a room accessible via noclip that is covered in a repeating texture of Gabens face

In HL2EP2 The G-Man starts following you again after you heal Alyx

At the very beginning of the game in Paper Mario for N64 before the castle you can get into shy guy's toxbox by sprinting against the door of the building and getting out of the character freeze at the "its locked" prompt when it shows and immediately sprinting and going through to the next zone, resulting in you entering the house after the screen fades to black. The shy guy will show up and completely ignore you and the cinematic where he reveals the box plays anyways. You will still likely be unable to kill any of the enemies and will lose to bowser no matter what

>The three things Francis doesn't hate are vests, Steam, and Evil Dead.

In the original release of Persona on PS1 in America the localization locked you out of a side quest that made it impossible to get a secret ending

Speaking of Naughty Dog...

They made an isometric RPG for the Genesis called "Rings of Power" that actually featured a nude code. You had to hold a bunch of buttons on controller 2 while turning the system on.

>>274483572
All DS Lites as well as the red Mario Kart limited edition DS.

The variable it looks for is overwritten by the system firmware number, the Mario Kart limited edition DS and all models released after it have a slightly different firmware.

For this same reason, playing Mario Kart DS on a non-Mario Kart DS original model DS will actually give an alternate startup sound when reaching the title screen, ironically the alternate startup sound was SUPPOSED to be the Mario Kart DS limited edition's sound, but since the same firmware was used for the DS lite and all later models, what is supposed to be the standard version of the startup is generally considered the variant version.

In the opening cinematic of Halo 2, in response to the Prophet of Truth's proclamation that the soon to be Arbiter's inability to safeguard Halo was a colossal failure, a Prophet in the Council seats above rises and cries out: "Nay! It was heresy!"

This is the Prophet of Objection.
He is voiced by Bob O'Donnell, father of Martin O'Donnell: the game's audio director, composer, and alien voice actor.

Relative to most other video games I would say they are still "complex" and "intelligent" irregardless of the fact that they made the level designs work so well with the AI.
Not to mention almost all games AI react within the context with their environment, the fact FEAR does it so well just means that they are a well designed AI. Simply put, AI implementation is just as important a part of an AI as the actual coding of the AIs responses.
Sure they aren't the best example of an AI in video games, but it is definitely up there.

On one of the PS1 WipEout games, you can load up the game and then remove the disc from the console and replace it with a music CD and you can play the game with the music playing in the background.
