    Mass Effect 3: People hated the original 3 ending choices so much that one of the most popular ways to vent frustration was to shoot the starchild with your infinite ammo gun.
    Then when the extended cut DLC came out, people who tried shooting the reaper's boss were treated to a new ending right out of an annoyed DM's playbook: rocks fall, everyone dies.

      @@leevio I honestly still think the players were the ones being children here. Anyone who's grown up long enough to watch story choices become a thing is aware of the limitations and knows that the ending will still inevitably be A, B, or C, regardless of what you've done for 66 to 140 hours prior. Let's face it, games with more endings than that are often the ones that are less story involved and ultimately less worth playing enough to get all endings. Games like White Day, for instance. Great game, but hardly worth playing 11 or however many times. Mass Effect only having so many endings made perfect sense. And compare it to Telltale. Practically every Telltale game is nothing BUT making choices, yet you still arrive at similar endings anyway. It's fine. I'd think gamers of all people should be the best crowd for appreciating the journey more than the destination.

    Lisa: The Painful has a ton of these. From a guy you can recruit into your party but ONLY after he tells you his entire life story in a minutes-long monologue, to a rope you can climb up a massive cliff only to be met with a statue of a hand flipping you off.

      Suikoden has one of these also. There's a guy you need to recruit in the game not only for the best ending but for an in-story mission; it actually requires you to sit through a minute long TEXT rant. Problem is you screw up if you hit the advance button even once.

    Serious Sam was almost a game designed to be nothing but one long troll against anyone that played it, but the best example of that was having health or anmo pickups that would give you one point of health or a single bullet, and then immediately spawn a huge wave of strong enemies to fight.

    Dudunsparce. People had been wanting an evolution to Dunsparce pretty much since Pokemon Gold and Silver, and people have made countless awesome fakemon designs for an evolution. 23 years later in Scarlet and Violet, Dunsparce FINALLY gets an evolution- only for it to be the exact same thing but bigger and with an extra segment (or two if you're really lucky).

    Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
    You are a naive player who wishes to embark on a new challenge: getting a Zodiac Weapon. At the time these are the best weapons in the game, and have sick particle effects to boot. So you start the grind.
    And oh boy what a grind it is. I can't stress it enough. Even to this day the Zodiac Weapons are infamously tedious to get, and that's despite the requirements having been lowered over time. You have to find items scattered across the map, fight unique bosses, complete world events for a random chance at a drop, complete lists and lists of specific dungeons, world events and tasks in a specific order so you are forced into a snails pace, spend copious amounts of money in items to infuse your weapon, grind dungeons ad-nauseum to charge up your weapon...
    And eventually, you will be greeted by the following message when it is time to upgrade your weapon to the next step:
    "Please be warned the chance of success for turning a relic weapon nexus into materia is 1.4%. Your relic will be lost if the process fails"
    The message is lying of course. There is no chance the process fails. The devs are just trolling you, going off of the fact that low odds were a common occurrence in steps prior, and a common gripe the playerbase had with the relic quest.
    The message is still there, though it only shows up on your first Zodiac relic. If you get another one it will not show. Fool me twice and all that I guess.

    TheIndieStone's Project Zomboid has a troll built into its tutorial. Make it to the end and it has you press a key "For the cure.". The key is actually bound to the Shout ability, with the popup coming up to say "There is no cure" and summoning a large wave of zombies. Oddly? It IS possible to beat the tutorial with a lot of patience and knowledge of game mechanics, but damn, what a god tier troll.

    Star Trek Online has two I can think of, which arose due to the age of the game with new content being added over the last several years - "Where's Sulu?" and "Is Kurland there?"
    The first deals with an NPC that needed to be interacted with during one of the first missions during the first year of the game's operation - Akira Sulu. Players would continually ask in the zone chat "Where's Sulu?", since it wasn't immediately obvious to them at the time. It became a meme in the game, with people spamming the question over and over. Starting in the second anniversary event, the character Q could be asked "Where's Sulu?" and he would mock you for bringing up the old meme.
    For the second, one of the characters calls out 'Is... Is Kurland there?' in the Task Force Operation (TFO) 'Forged by Fire' - calling back to one of the missions released several years prior where the character of James Kurland had one voice line repeated every time his character contacted yours - "Kurland here." The players kept making fun of it, so it was kind of a troll-ish move to have the statement explicitly lampooned in a character voice line.

    • @marhawkman303
      @marhawkman303 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Where's Sulu? used to be... over 10 years ago... a legit question. Some exploration-based mission wanted you to go find him... wherever. then it got cut. Like you say.. the mission got cut BEFORE the second anniversary.... IIRC they're up to 14 now.
      "Kurland here." is partly because the character is voiced by a developer... and due to signing a deal with the Film Actor's Guild in Hollywood to get cheaper voice acting from Star Trek actors.... they can't record any new lines for Kurland. But they CAN re-use ad-infinitum what they already have. Which kind of feels like trolling the actor union honestly....

    In Gothic 1, there's a character called Mud. He's a troll character alright, but if you have him stick around long enough, he actually helps you get into one of the factions. Which I only found out earlier this year after having played the game FOR 23 YEARS, and I think many other players still don't know, because Mud is SO ANNOYING no one ever had him stick around. I think the fact only came out a couple of years ago when someone played a challenge run (the challenge being having Mud stick around for the entire game).
    So, yeah. Gothic 1 would be my number 1 pick.
    Honorable mention has to go to any character you click multiple times in Warcraft 3. Special honorable mentions go to the human builders, who - when clicked enough times - will say "My lord, we've found a witch! May we burn her?" as well as "What? You're the king? I didn't elect you!". Also, some of the Trolls (ha!) ask if you wanna buy cigarrettes.

      Well, the Stop and Swap thing was more a legitimate plan that got kicked in the danglies by hardware revisions... (specifically, later model N64s had the memory retention that they were planning to use reduced to a second or so, nowhere near long enough to swap games and, not wanting to release a game with a feature that may or may not work for a given player, they replaced it with the... functional version we actually got.)

    Well the thing about Mega Man is, there were multiple projects planned for 2012, and the Bad Box Art Mega Man was intended as a tongue-in-cheek joke that would follow up the aformentioned proper titles that would have come out. But then those projects, MegaMan Online, MegaMan Legends 3 and MegaMan Universe respectively, all got canned while Bad Box Art Mega Man remained in development.

      Jokes aside... art has always incorporated new tools over time. Some will use it, pretentious douchebags will pretend that refusing to use it makes them better than other people, and life moves on. It's fundamentally no different than the advent of digital art, or the invention of photography, or the discovery of superior dyes or paints.

      And what's worse is that when SQEX got called out for not making the remake turn-based, they just responded that gamers can just play the original, ignoring the fact that the English translation is awful (even by 90's standards) and full of garbage dialogue, and apparently it's even worse for other European languages. There's a reason gamers have been asking for a remake of FF7 since Square started remaking FF games. And SQEX have been using that to troll consumers with Advent Children, with the Compilation Final Fantasy 7 games a pointless tech demo for over two decades.

    The game they announced was Portal 2.

    Also.. Funny how many people were pissed off about Lucky Chloe, giving those kinds of arguments.. When there's Lili in the game, who's pretty much of the same build as Lucky Chloe.

    Wait, hold up, you got Dark Souls on this list, but chose the Pendant over the Calamity Ring? A ring you get only after beating a big dragon boss in the DLC, that has the wonderful effect of doubling all damage you take and nothing else.

    The best part of the troll of the Final Fantasy VII on PS4 drop?
    It's not even a port of the PS1 version! They actually dropped the old PC version made by Eidos (whom they'd recently acquired at the time) on modern consoles!
    How to tell? All the character models have mouths added to them in the field screens (a "frown line" on the playable characters and a black circle on all the NPCs), AND the "Secret Cow Level" Easter egg if you use the Save Crystal on a certain screen in the North Crater final dungeon.

      To be fair, the PC port is all they had for source code; one of the most irritating things about Square in the 90s and early 00s is that they never saved the source code for their games which is why games like FF7 and 8 had to be re-released using their PC ports, and KH1FM had to use the NA release of the game with Japanese subtitles added in.

    The way I understood Miyazaki's comment was that he was so good at the game (as one of the developers), he didn't need the "helping hand" of a starting item (either something useless or "nothing at all"), not that the Pendant had a secret purpose. Most everything in the games are explained or hinted at, but people are too ready to jump to conclusions/conspiracies.

      Honestly, it would probably have gone over with the (presumably intended) reaction of "ha ha funni joke" if it hadn't followed the mentioned cancellations (and also the cancellation of the Mega Man X MMO, but by all accounts that one wasn't actually on Capcom...). As it was, it was the equivalent of having a full meal taken from under your nose and then being given two slices of hard, dry bread with the thinnest coating of butter physically possible by the person who has just thrown your meal into the garbage.

    In hindsight, the OG FF VII rerelease thing aged better than whatever the heck is going on with the AU sequels falsely deemed as remakes.
    Not sure if this can count as a troll, but there's the offscreen events after Monkey Island 2 still staying a bit unknown, as showcased in alternate continuity sequels Curse and Return.
