  • You could make the entire video about Harada. Latest wind up was insisting for ages that Heihachi was 100% dead this time, only to reveal him as DLC a few weeks ago
  • The Doubull trouble achievement in "Legendary" where they give you an achievement for fighting two minotaurs trapped in a room with you, and its only worth 1 Gamerscore. They then follow it up with an achievement apologizing for the pun. They got me pretty good the first time it happened to me
  • @crezychameau
    i think the "micro tube top" on Dante is just a leather strap part of his pistols holsters
  • Haven't payed attention to Tekken since T3, but aside from a panda, some of the characters were: a cyber ninja, an android, animated training dummy, tiny cartoon dinosaur and Paul Phoenix' bonkers haircut (yes, I'm counting it as a separate character- I mean, look at it). So, it makes me very happy seeing Mr. Harada trolling players who claim that, compared to this line-up of fighters, a pop-star is somehow unrealistic:D
  • These Devs live by the words of American philosopher William Frederick Durst; Keep Trollin', Trollin', Trollin', Trollin'.
  • @Irisverse
    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.
  • @Suraht
    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. And this happened multiple times per level.
  • @octochan
    I assumed that the next step of the Tomb Raider troll medipack escalation would be to make the unreachable medipack not a pick-uppable item
  • Mass Effect 3: People hated the original 3 ending choices so much that knew 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 boss were treated to a new ending right out of an annoyed DM's playbook: rocks fall, everyone dies.
  • @m2pt5
    Stanley Parable had more achievements that were clearly trolling, like "Don't play for 5 years" and "Play for the entirety of a Tuesday."
  • @tymmezinni
    That single-space raised gap in the original TMNT for the NES. You think you're supposed to jump it like everything else and that causes you to fall. Instead, you just keep walking and you'll cross it. AVGN even brings it up his review.
  • My favorite trollings are elaborate doors that you can't actually open. Traverse Town hotel in Kingdom Hearts 1 says "hello"
  • SEGA recently trolled lots of fans when they announced a Shadow skin for Sonic Superstars, which was met with a lot of buzz from the fandom after asking for ages for Shadow to be in the game. Not only was this potentially a new character for the game, but it was also the first time that Shadow - a character invented after the modern designs - would get a 'classic' design, potentially opening the doors for others to follow. The it released and its literally Sonic in a Shadow onesie, like the blue blur had skinned the 'edgehog alive.
  • @aaron_905
    I will add to the trollness of Tomb Raider 1 where they put TWO large medipacks behind a locked door in the Atlantis level. There is a lever next to the door that you'd think would open the door? Nope, instead it releases a flow of lava that would chase you down the corridor. Ultimate troll.
  • @jeffb-c
    Outro music so good it had to play twice
  • @armelior4610
    Missed opportunity to not put any link at all at the end, after Jane announced her "favorite video of all time, really, I'm not joking, pinky swear"
  • @BuildinWings
    "We're not planning to do anything about it" might still be the hardest troll line in gaming.
  • @Akwatypus
    Made me think of GameFreak and Pokemon, actually. For years fans had speculated and wished for a Dunsparce evolution, wondering what sorta cool creature it'd be. Well... we got Dudunsparce.
  • @fraggedlocust
    19:05 Jane pointing at nothing in particular and hoping that she doesn't sound crazy 😅
  • "Part of the point of the game is that you feel confused and alone in a scary world." Part of the reason I don't play Dark Souls games. I already feel overwhelmed and underpowered in my daily life, why would I want to come home from work and intentionally play games that make me feel even more so?
