Holy poo poo!

In the original UFO Enemy Unknown kid me used to get owned by the psychic enemies that started showing up later on and I hated not being able to use my favourite soldiers anymore so I used a hex editor to give everyone 100 will or psi points or whatever it was so nobody could panic me anymore. I just completely ignored the psi part of the game and blaster bombed the gently caress out of everything to victory.

Very seriously explain that "bukkake" is a reference to buckwheat cakes, a traditional southern dish associated with slavery/racist tropes, and then watch as the gooniest member of the group gets emotionally invested in making people look at fetish porn on his phone

You don't even have to make anything up. Just explain it's a type of Japanese noodle dish with a sauce poured on it. Then the gooniest member is going to be torn between your accurate description of Japanese culture and his need to shown everyone his fetish porn.

In BF2 I once snuck over to the enemy aircraft hangar and loaded the plane up with C4, waited for someone to get in, then blew it to bits.

Nothing sensible like, uh, getting in the plane myself or anything.

I did this in a Battlefield: 1941 or whatever. I would just slam C4 into vehicles, drive it to an enemy base and wait for someone to take the vehicle before blowing it up

Warcraft II: When I first started playing games this was the first one I ever played, friend tried to introduce me to Orion but no way that was too complicated. Anyway, I spawned in one of the first missions with a base and a bunch of dudes. I had my dudes attack the base because hey, that's what the mission said right? All of a sudden I hear "WE'RE BEING ATAAAACKED" By some orcs. Well, I happened to be orcs. I blew up the buildings and lost. Because they were mine.

DayZ: Never fly drunk. Was probably 8 shots in at this point in a massive firefight flying my entire team of about 10 guys in that big fat helicopter. Let's just say it met the broad side of a barn and the explosion was pretty cool.

The highlight of Battlefield or any shooter with tanks was to walk up to a tank and explode it.

I once had a game where the psi enemies for some rng fluke just wouldn't show up. I only ran into them on mars. Good times.

Other races also had psionics, like the sectoids (the gray-looking things) or *I think* the floaters, but only their highly-ranked members, like commanders and leaders -but the etherals (where every rank has psionics and it's basically their "main ability" you'd call it in a modern game) simply never showed up on earth in that game. It was actually mostly just snakemen and mutons (those green hulk looking fucks) which had no psionics at all. It was really loving hard to capture a psi-sectoid since the sectoids as a whole were also super rare in that game. If I wouldn't have known what to do from earlier games, I would've been stumped. I also went immediately for the mars research and didn't bother with psi in that game.

For thread content: Somehow I managed to miss the entire radiation mechanic in Fallout 1 (how I managed that one is beyond me) and went to the glow by the brotherhood quest, which is basically a super irradiated military base you have to retrieve something from. Unlike modern fallouts, if you didn't use a geiger counter (which I didn't even have) the game would give you no hint whatsoever that you are being irradiated and you'd only notice the after effects. I took my sweet time exploring the base and even played chess with the AI in the basement. (which was a trap conversation option, as it made game time advance by an hour or so and stuck you with a big dose of radiation) Then when I fetched the quest item I was supposed to fetch the game interrupted me on fast traveling back to the BoS-Base telling me how ill my character feels, then he just dropped dead a short while later. That was a bit frustrating but at the same time genuinely cool. Why I thought a post-nuclear apocalypse game has no radiation mechanic is beyond me, especially considering there were anti-rad items in the game.

The second Fallout I rushed the main quest because it gave you a sense of urgency (I even think you would get a worse end if you didn't finish it by a certain time, I don't really remember though) and somehow I managed to miss half the game and not even visit a bunch of quest locations and cities. It was just rushing the main story and game over. I wasn't even aware of the content I missed. Apparently this happened to quite a few people though. As much as I dislike the simplified Quests in RPGs of today, they made them for people like me apparently. :shobon:

Same, but i would usually have a teammate driving it into an enemy spawn ISIS-style. If you had a friend on teamspeak/phone/in the same room spotting for your artillery (like actual spotting, not the in-game version) you could really rack up the kills and really piss off the other team.

Queue a bunch of a servers popping up with 'no base killing/no vehicle camping' style rules, which even lasted in later Battlefield games where bases contained specific command builings which you could get medals for destroying.
