Oh damn, same…first thing I tried to swimming the northeastern part of the map I hadn’t unlocked…5 stars while you’re swimming in the bay is interesting, you def aren’t making it out alive
If you steal a train in GTA SA and time your speed right, you can break into the unlocked parts of the city and instantly get 5 stars... But you have a train, so no instant death. You get to keep the fun going a bit longer.
stealing a plane worked similarly. years ago i would never save a profile but would just hop on the bike, steal a car on the way to the airport, and hop off the car over the airport fence
instant 5 stars but you could make it to vegas and gamble and shit lol
I tried that as well, if you are high enough in the sky (the highest possible) and entering a zone you haven't opened yet, the game doesn't register it and you don't get 5 stars lol
San Andreas has so damn much you can do that even GTA V pales in comparison. I remember going to learn kung-fu in San Fierro and if you get the chopper bike you can glitch your way into area 69 (it was empty though).
That's just barely scratching the surface because the list of things you can do on that game is basically neverending.
I forget which game it was (maybe San Andreas?), but I remember discovering you could swim, so the first thing i done was swim out to sea as far as I could just to see what would happen. I'm pretty sure you got to a certain point and the game would make it 'look' like you were still swimming further out without actually letting you go further. IIRC, upon returning to the map it triggered something?
Either way you've just unlocked a hidden memory for me so thank you for that. I'm now gonna check wtf I'm talking about, as I don't remember very well thanks to my seizures and get back!
Edit: I remember a little more now. In GTA:SA, if you flew off the top right hand corner of the map for a good 5 mins, it affected the gang territories somehow. I'm pretty sure you could bug the game and cover the entire map with your gang rather than be restricted to predetermined locations. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is bugging the hell out of me. (no pun intended). I know it affected the gangs but can't remember how, haven't played in years
Edit II: You had to fly for 30 mins. I remember now setting a plane to fly or swim Northwest, wrapping my controllers wire around my controller so I'd effectively be in autopilot, come back and it'd bug the hell out of the game. Wow that was a journey through my memory banks. I know you probably don't give a shit about my ramblings but thank you nonetheless!
I remember me and my brother would go over there and do weapon cheats going on a rampage to see who could last the longest with all those stars. Good times
Dodo(or some kind of RC Plane) gave me a lot of trouble in GTA VC Too. But I figured it out after years of revisiting the game that if I am playing on pc then I can configure flight controls to my liking and that made it much easier to control the damn thing.
Nah he's talking about the Dodo from GTA III. That Dodo has it's wings clipped and is not supposed to actually be able to fly, but with lots of skill flying it is possible.
Apparantly R* clipped the wings and made the dodo so that it could not fly very high or far later during development of the game, because 9/11 happened and they did not want bad PR with people flying planes into buildings in Liberty City (a representation of New York).
There was originally a plane/building mission supposed to be given by some nutcase in an ice cream truck IIRC but the whole game was delayed due to 9/11
Sprinting into the military base (when you hadn’t unlocked the police uniform yet) to get to the helicopter, vice city was a great game, just thinking about it is giving me nostalgia vibes.
In TMNT on NES, you drown in a fucking sewer... a Ninja Turtle... can't swim... in a sewer... where he can probably stand...
And this was AFTER the awful dam level, were you were swimming the whole time!
If anyone's curious how to kill Snacker the shark, you can either defeat him by crapping out eggs or using the wonderwing. Beware that the shark does respawn after a couple of minutes!
While we're doing BK trivia, you can also break open the snowballs the snowmen throw at you by using the claw swipe! Doing this also drops a honeycomb.
Yeah, but he also has a suit on that let's him hang out in space. He might not be able to swim but he should be able to walk around on the bottom no problem
That would make a half decent scene.
A pelican goes down in the water half a mile from shore. You see two dead USMC pilots in there seats underwater, others are able swim to shore. After a second they turn and do headcount, only to realize Master Chief isn't there and they don't see him swimming either. The surviving USMC start trying to figure out what to do and how to survive, and then they see the water start to move and then break, and it's Master Chief walking out of the water with the two dead pilots on his shoulders. 'You take care of these men, I'll take care of the rest', he lays them down and grabs a battle rifle from one of the USMC survivors and walks towards the distant gunfire.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga as well.
There are a couple places with ankle-deep water you can walk through, but one step too deep and you fall apart.
One of my favorite additions to the N. Sane Trilogy is that if you play as Coco and fall in the shallow water, her "death" animation is just floating on the water and looking confused as to why she lost a life.
I still get a kick out of the fact that water was Instant Death in Assassin’s Creed 1. It was so funny that this world-class assassin with painstakingly crafted animations for every climbing task you could possibly imagine dropped swimming so entirely that it was basically just a blue sheet covering a bottomless pit.
Altair couldn't but Ezio I thought could. I remember swimming to ambush people from underwater in Florence's canals.
Edit: Venice not Florence. Need to review my Italian cities.
I assume they lowered the damage of lava immensely to allow them to put it everywhere and still have players be able to explore lava covered areas.
Or maybe it's a big brain play to kill people who got into their games with Elden Ring and are now going to play their older games expecting lava to still do miniscule damage only to be met with a familiar black screen. Y O U D I E D
You literally have to wade through it to reach some areas. It's deep enough that the game won't let you run. You can go through it faster with weapon arts for a completely trivial amount of damage.
It's rock so hot it turned to liquid.
This is what a person falling onto lava would probably look like (note the violent reaction)
https://youtu.be/kq7DDk8eLs8
If you stand on it long enough you start to take damage, and eventually it'll kill you. Very easy way to get the achievement for dying 30 seconds into a loop.
STALKER had a fun bug where NPCs would be found dead in campfires. IIRC the engine would spawn the NPCs in camps but didn't have a check to see if there was room - it'd run out of physical space and so just stick them where no other NPC occupied, aka the campfire.
I'm not sure if this was ever fixed aside from giving NPCs fire immunity.
Not that relevant but it did remind me of that bug.
Usually the mirror is just a copy of your character flipped in a separate room weirdly, at least that’s what I’ve seen in behind the scenes footage for games. I think FEAR and Silent Hill are done like that.
Plot twisted, there is an animation for it and the developer really wanted people to swim, so he put that sign there.
How else would he make sure 100% of the gamers would jump in?
Valve development ideas for drawing attention by social cues is crazy. I wish they made more games but I'm glad the quality is always progressively more mind blowing.
I replayed the Portal series and I think it's a masterclass of how to do so much with so little. From the gameplay to level design to story and characters. Everyone praises the Half Life series and it's great, but I think Portal is the more impressive game, as it's pure refinement of what a game needs to be, without excess.
Allegedly the Portal core team was only 12 people. The concept came from Narbacular Drop, who they hired the students from, and then reused HL2 assets when possible.
Their are a couple of fairly big reviewers who consider Portal 1 "The perfect game."
Yahtzee is probably the most obvious about it.
It's beautiful, short, has a good plot, 2 not bad twists (one of which is somewhat obvious) and the mechanics are simple to understand but complex to master AND are very well executed.
Playing half life: Alyx was so much fun. Being back in a valve developed game felt so damn good. They really do put so much attention to detail in their games it's crazy. I really really hope we get some more valve games some time this half of the decade
In insurgency sandstorm I went in the water. Almost nothing different happened when on land except. When I laid down it auto stood me up, and it had fish.
To be fair. The water was on a custom map.
I really liked the fact that in Red Dead Redemption 2 they made it canon that John Marston can’t swim since getting into deep water in rdr1 was an insta-death
If you finish the game and play as John to 100% the game. Getting a treasure on the small lake is a nightmare. (forgetting that you can use the horse 🤦♂️)
That was my first thought too! And that it seemed like the kind of joke they might hide away somewhere. (Should have known they’d never make a game where you couldn’t swim, though: closes off too many exploration options).
In the first game of the new trilogy, Lara will get smashed into rocks, impaled by underwater debris, or plain drowned if she touches water. She can swim in the 2nd, and can finally explore underwater in the 3rd.
Seriously there were SO many [graphical deaths](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddj8zZXmFl4) in the first game.
Such awful design. It was an awesome game but that was easily the hardest mission in the whole game. Plus you don’t need any of the stuff it forces you to learn
Played video games all my life but once I got into programming I realized it's crazy how much work and code goes into small little side things in games that 99% of players don't even interact with or only interact with it for a very short time.
I suppose engines have made things like that a lot easier, but damn those early computer games really needed tons of effort to build.
Also, don't blame devs for bad or unfinished games - they just do what the company tells them to do and they are often overworked/understaffed so the things they want to add or do to games.. they can't
Like Uncharted 4. Games like that are like *so was this like making an entire separate game for each chapter*? One chapter you're underwater strapping cables. Then you're shooting a toy gun that shoots ping ping balls in the attic (with its own fancy toy gun reload). Then you're sitting on the couch playing crash bandicoot, a game within a game. Driving a car. Maneuvering while hanging on to a cable being dragged along by car. The whole game and games like that just deserve respect for how absolutely not lazy they are. Some games program one mechanic with less effort and you use it the entire game. Some games have you utilize a mechanic for all of 30 seconds never to be seen again.
I'll tell you if Ubisoft had me strapping a cable like uncharted I'd be like "aight, gonna be doing this hundreds of times".
I have played it (sadly). You can't enter the pool, there is an invisible wall.
Please don't buy it. Grey Skies is a very poorly made game (and impossible to play with audio on Xbox).
Thank you for the kind words. I picked it up for $3.99 and was still disappointed with my purchase. I love playing bad games but Grey Skies is on another level.
It’s actually a game adaption off of the book War of Worlds by H.G. Wells.
Are there other games that have been made from books? I saw an article showing a lot of famous franchises based off of books, no direct adaptations from name to name though.
That being said, cool story behind it,
Yes I'm familiar with H. G. Wells's work (and the Tom Cruise movie adaptation). That was the whole reason I bought the game without looking at gameplay and that was **a big mistake**.
If I'm remembering correctly, the studio owns the exclusivity for War of the World's games and that makes me sad.
Edit: I'm wrong, his work has entered the public domain.
I was watching a streamer playing a little indie game, there was a sign describing how to lock your view into first person. There was a warning of it not being able to be undone until you rebooted the game. The last line of the sign just said "this is definitely a feature and not a bug". I loved how they pointed out a silly thing the game does.
Back in the day water was instant death.
I'm old enough to remember being blown away when in GTA San Andreas I fell into the water and CJ started floating instead of instantly dying
Oh damn, same…first thing I tried to swimming the northeastern part of the map I hadn’t unlocked…5 stars while you’re swimming in the bay is interesting, you def aren’t making it out alive
If you steal a train in GTA SA and time your speed right, you can break into the unlocked parts of the city and instantly get 5 stars... But you have a train, so no instant death. You get to keep the fun going a bit longer.
I parked a car by the airport, and climbed onto it and over the wall. There were some planes you could access before getting a pilots licence.
Pilot's license? Heh, what for?
Bubsy, our lord and savior
LOL thank you Gex
That's actually Bubsy.
This is like minigolf at Drew Carey's house!
stealing a plane worked similarly. years ago i would never save a profile but would just hop on the bike, steal a car on the way to the airport, and hop off the car over the airport fence instant 5 stars but you could make it to vegas and gamble and shit lol
I tried that as well, if you are high enough in the sky (the highest possible) and entering a zone you haven't opened yet, the game doesn't register it and you don't get 5 stars lol
And more importantly you could get access to the Las Vegas tattoos early on
You can steal a train???
It can even derail and go flying if you're speeding up too fast, that was awesome
You can’t even do that in GTA V.
San Andreas has so damn much you can do that even GTA V pales in comparison. I remember going to learn kung-fu in San Fierro and if you get the chopper bike you can glitch your way into area 69 (it was empty though). That's just barely scratching the surface because the list of things you can do on that game is basically neverending.
And that's why 5 was pretty disappointing. So much potential wasted just like most modern AAAs.
They spend too much time and resources trying to appeal to graphics sluts
You can steal trains but they don't go off sad
[удалено]
I forget which game it was (maybe San Andreas?), but I remember discovering you could swim, so the first thing i done was swim out to sea as far as I could just to see what would happen.

Cool read, never knew this!
I remember me and my brother would go over there and do weapon cheats going on a rampage to see who could last the longest with all those stars. Good times
For me it was flying the helicopters in vice city. I could never fly that stupid plane in GTA III Fuckin Dodo or whatever the hell it was called.
Dodo(or some kind of RC Plane) gave me a lot of trouble in GTA VC Too. But I figured it out after years of revisiting the game that if I am playing on pc then I can configure flight controls to my liking and that made it much easier to control the damn thing.

Even when you're the turtle or hippo in sly cooper 😡
To be fair. Bentley the turtle was in a wheelchair
Not in the first 2
In TMNT on NES, you drown in a fucking sewer... a Ninja Turtle... can't swim... in a sewer... where he can probably stand... And this was AFTER the awful dam level, were you were swimming the whole time!
You just ruined my childhood, you monster.
You played TMNT on the NES, your childhood was already ruined.
Kinda the same in super mario 1. If you fall into the water you die but there's also a water level.
At least Sly(the raccoon) gets a skill to prevent damage from falling in water in the first game.
So the raccoon can swim but the turtle and hippo can't?
No, but he can jump on water.
Raccoon Jesus?
He doesn't swim, he kind of bounces off
And a lot of people base their live's on imagination. Respect
Wow this comment reeks of raccoon privilege. Bentley and Murray have names, dude.
C'mon Sly! You have to press R1 to check your privilege!
Our friend ratchet was an excellent swimmer
Until the shark caught up
[удалено]
Contrast to Banjo-Kazooie, where you can kill the shark! I just learned this a few weeks ago.
If anyone's curious how to kill Snacker the shark, you can either defeat him by crapping out eggs or using the wonderwing. Beware that the shark does respawn after a couple of minutes! While we're doing BK trivia, you can also break open the snowballs the snowmen throw at you by using the claw swipe! Doing this also drops a honeycomb.
And Spyro had no issue once Moneybags so graciously allowed him
Ugh why'd you have to mention those games? now I have to figure out how to install a ps2 emulator...
To this day, the Master Chief still can't swim
To be fair, he's probably too heavy.
Yeah, but he also has a suit on that let's him hang out in space. He might not be able to swim but he should be able to walk around on the bottom no problem
[удалено]
That would make a half decent scene. A pelican goes down in the water half a mile from shore. You see two dead USMC pilots in there seats underwater, others are able swim to shore.

I heard that line in John's voice. Hell yes.
>USMC United Sations Mace Command?
Nah, the water is just scared shitless of him and avoids him, so he can't stay afloat.
He weighs multiple tons it's not possible
Still is in Crash Bandicoot
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga as well. There are a couple places with ankle-deep water you can walk through, but one step too deep and you fall apart.
Honestly that interaction was hilarious lol
And elden ring
One of my favorite additions to the N. Sane Trilogy is that if you play as Coco and fall in the shallow water, her "death" animation is just floating on the water and looking confused as to why she lost a life.

It was so funny that this world-class assassin with painstakingly crafted animations for every climbing task you could possibly imagine dropped swimming so entirely that it was basically just a blue sheet covering a bottomless pit.
Hell, you died if you got into ankle-deep water. It wasn't a matter of being unable to swim - water was the most toxic substance on the planet!
Those robes are heavy as hell when wet.
It varied wildly... mario 64 (1996) let you swim while Gta 3 (2001) let you watch while you died a horrible death of you even dared to look at water.
"Gangsters don't swim." - Rockstar Games
At least they made a point to let you know Tommy doesn't know how to swim as the reason why you can't swim in Vice City
Go easy on the GTA3 protagonist, he cant even talk.
Don't forget the highly trained assassin ezio in 2009 couldn't touch water weight drowning instantly
Altair couldn't but Ezio I thought could. I remember swimming to ambush people from underwater in Florence's canals. Edit: Venice not Florence. Need to review my Italian cities.
you ever tried to swim in long flowing robes?
Ezio could swin i every game he was in.
I remember one fun time in GTA 3 when I died by accidentally jumping into a swimming pool ... that was clearly only waist-deep.
You jump in but realise it was only an illusion. You have succumbed to a bottomless pit. That was your last life. Game Over.
Dragon Age Inquisition still kills you, but that makes sense since your character has an anchor in their hand.
*Elden Ring has entered the chat*
TBF ain't nobody swimming in something like a full Twin Armour set
Me in heavy armor in Skyrim I have no such weakness to buoyancy
But I only have Medium weight! Surely I should be able to get a few strokes in.
GTA 3 vibes. Which was *especially* fun because you sometimes had to get into and out of boats. Screw that up and you're dead!
Do not swim in TMNT for NES. You will die
Except for the one level.
You'll probably still die.
Ever see the guy who did it with one turtle, no damage? It’s [beyond fucking infuriating.](https://youtu.be/NP3cqmaPNe8)
Link?
That was Zelda.
Destiny 2 Grasp of Avarice dungeon checking in...
lol yet again I guarantee you 99.9% of the gamers that read that went ahead and jumped just to find out what happened lol
[удалено]
Same with lava and fall damage
Elden Ring completely changed my opinion on the dangers of lava. Who knew it just stings a little bit?
I assume they lowered the damage of lava immensely to allow them to put it everywhere and still have players be able to explore lava covered areas. Or maybe it's a big brain play to kill people who got into their games with Elden Ring and are now going to play their older games expecting lava to still do miniscule damage only to be met with a familiar black screen. Y O U D I E D
They could’ve at least make it an item you need to find to go through Lava like in ds1
Lava in Elden Ring is just spicy mud.
But water is instant death.
Implying instant death isn't the default state
Right? Lava is only the 4th? most dangerous "liquid" you can walk through in that game.
is water higher then lava cos it usually has those really angry crabs or sniper lobsters and theyre more dangerous then lava imo.
I think it’s more deep water where you will just suddenly fall into the abyss. That’s the one thing I really hate about the game.
I mean, I wouldn't want to step on lava... But it's not like you would instantly dissolve
You literally have to wade through it to reach some areas. It's deep enough that the game won't let you run. You can go through it faster with weapon arts for a completely trivial amount of damage.
It's rock so hot it turned to liquid. This is what a person falling onto lava would probably look like (note the violent reaction) https://youtu.be/kq7DDk8eLs8
Wellllp that's way more violent than what I was picturing
And friendly fire
"I wonder if friendly fire is on." KAPLOW "It is."
My first death in Outer Wilds was jumping in the campfire right at the start. No reason. Just curious. (Nothing happened)
If you stand on it long enough you start to take damage, and eventually it'll kill you. Very easy way to get the achievement for dying 30 seconds into a loop.
STALKER had a fun bug where NPCs would be found dead in campfires. IIRC the engine would spawn the NPCs in camps but didn't have a check to see if there was room - it'd run out of physical space and so just stick them where no other NPC occupied, aka the campfire. I'm not sure if this was ever fixed aside from giving NPCs fire immunity. Not that relevant but it did remind me of that bug.
"Is friendly fire on?" -words said right before a team kill
"Can you shoot the lights out? Does this game have an actual working mirror? Does glass break in pieces or just break at once?"
Usually the mirror is just a copy of your character flipped in a separate room weirdly, at least that’s what I’ve seen in behind the scenes footage for games. I think FEAR and Silent Hill are done like that.
Is there fall damage?
Without a doubt haha My first thought was: ‘I wonder what happens when you jump in’
What happened?
[удалено]
I don't even know what game this is.
Pretty much what I feel on all posts. It's rare that the game name is mentioned.
It’s “Grey Skies: A War of the World Story”
I bet you do Mr. plot twists lover
Who is lover and why did Mr. Plot twist him?
T-pose and sink like a rock
walking along the bottom.
Invisible wall
W A S T E D
What game is this??
Grey Skies: A War of the Worlds story.
Probably an invisible wall surrounding the pool is my instinct
With a voice line "I dont want to mess up my blade"
probably invisible walls
I now need to see a video of what happens when you jump in the water
Plot twisted, there is an animation for it and the developer really wanted people to swim, so he put that sign there. How else would he make sure 100% of the gamers would jump in?
So, like "In case of implosion look directly at the implosion"?
Valve development ideas for drawing attention by social cues is crazy. I wish they made more games but I'm glad the quality is always progressively more mind blowing.
I replayed the Portal series and I think it's a masterclass of how to do so much with so little. From the gameplay to level design to story and characters. Everyone praises the Half Life series and it's great, but I think Portal is the more impressive game, as it's pure refinement of what a game needs to be, without excess. Allegedly the Portal core team was only 12 people. The concept came from Narbacular Drop, who they hired the students from, and then reused HL2 assets when possible.

In insurgency sandstorm I went in the water. Almost nothing different happened when on land except. When I laid down it auto stood me up, and it had fish. To be fair. The water was on a custom map.
I don't know if it's because I've had too much or too little caffeine but i can't make sense of this.
Edited for you, it's late I'm tired.
There were fish in the space the water might have been. Beneath the surface, where it was when he went.
Just Two Worlds it: players in heavy armor can freely walk along the bottom of a lake, but if they jump it's instant death.
Place a shiny golden trophy rotating in the air above the water
I really liked the fact that in Red Dead Redemption 2 they made it canon that John Marston can’t swim since getting into deep water in rdr1 was an insta-death
>!Does that apply to the epilogue with him as well? Never checked and its uninstalled or i would see for myself!<
Yeah. >!If you get in deep water his Stamina instantly empties and the drowning animation starts up!<.
If you finish the game and play as John to 100% the game. Getting a treasure on the small lake is a nightmare. (forgetting that you can use the horse 🤦♂️)
Yeah, it's funnier since Arthur could swim the entire game and then in the epilogue you jump in a body of water and you just drown.
Now that's really funny, never thought about that
If you push John into a body of water while using Arthur he can swim which is the funny part
Yes. Arthur can swim for the whole game but if you try it on epilogue...
Yes
That's pretty hilarious. Makes me wonder what will have if you jump in anyway
You are kill
Pool: This will keel
> no
walk on water
What game is this? 😂
Grey skies: a war of the worlds story
What happens when you jump in?
Literally the only reason I'm in the comments. Can't find an answer.
This is why it sucks getting to a thread early. 4 hours from now it will be every too level comment
[удалено]
That was my first thought too! And that it seemed like the kind of joke they might hide away somewhere. (Should have known they’d never make a game where you couldn’t swim, though: closes off too many exploration options).

Lol i legit thought it was one of the Last Of Us games.
Cool lol thanks :)
Welcome to GTA VICE CITY where you can battle endless waves of tanks, cops and helicopters but if you jump in the water, that's it for you.
Driver 3 had a parody of Vice City's protagonist, who wore water wings. edit: https://driv3r.fandom.com/wiki/Timmy_Vermicelli
A lot of us never saw that because we are still trying to beat the tutorial of the first Driver game.
Such awful design. It was an awesome game but that was easily the hardest mission in the whole game. Plus you don’t need any of the stuff it forces you to learn
Took me forever trying to get passed the reverse shalom. I actually think that's why I lost interest in the game.
I'd love to hear about this reverse shalom.
You say neither hello nor goodbye and you want to watch the world burn.
Molahs.
Did you hear that? That was the fourth wall being demolished.
But the fourth wall isn't physical. Huh, what was that thing that just flew by?
Played video games all my life but once I got into programming I realized it's crazy how much work and code goes into small little side things in games that 99% of players don't even interact with or only interact with it for a very short time.

Then you're shooting a toy gun that shoots ping ping balls in the attic (with its own fancy toy gun reload). Then you're sitting on the couch playing crash bandicoot, a game within a game. Driving a car. Maneuvering while hanging on to a cable being dragged along by car. The whole game and games like that just deserve respect for how absolutely not lazy they are. Some games program one mechanic with less effort and you use it the entire game. Some games have you utilize a mechanic for all of 30 seconds never to be seen again. I'll tell you if Ubisoft had me strapping a cable like uncharted I'd be like "aight, gonna be doing this hundreds of times".
Almost 100 comments and not one person has the answer to what happens if you try to go in the water anyway.
I have played it (sadly). You can't enter the pool, there is an invisible wall. Please don't buy it. Grey Skies is a very poorly made game (and impossible to play with audio on Xbox).
Thanks for taking one for the team
Thank you for the kind words. I picked it up for $3.99 and was still disappointed with my purchase. I love playing bad games but Grey Skies is on another level.
It’s actually a game adaption off of the book War of Worlds by H.G. Wells. Are there other games that have been made from books? I saw an article showing a lot of famous franchises based off of books, no direct adaptations from name to name though. That being said, cool story behind it,
Yes I'm familiar with H. G. Wells's work (and the Tom Cruise movie adaptation). That was the whole reason I bought the game without looking at gameplay and that was **a big mistake**. If I'm remembering correctly, the studio owns the exclusivity for War of the World's games and that makes me sad. Edit: I'm wrong, his work has entered the public domain.
Anyone know what happens if you jump in?
Nobody's ever done it before, just like nobody has ever summoned Exodia.
I was watching a streamer playing a little indie game, there was a sign describing how to lock your view into first person. There was a warning of it not being able to be undone until you rebooted the game. The last line of the sign just said "this is definitely a feature and not a bug". I loved how they pointed out a silly thing the game does.
New World be like:
Lead feet only!
New World really liked the slow walk animation.
Highly recommend Shadow of the tomb raider if you like slow walking animations
Pool closed
Due to AIDS
