The Greatest Lies in Gaming History

In a SF based site, I’d have thought everyone would be listing the EGM Shen Long April fool’s joke.

My friends and I tried for WEEKS to do everything just the way they said to do it. One day one of my friends comes to school saying he fought (and BEAT) Shen Long and he was god for a few days. Then we found out it was a prank, and he never lived it down.

^_-;

3s isn’t a real SF.

All of Kojima’s bullshit promises about metal gear games pre launch

MGS3: wide open free-roaming jungle, among others (too many to name, but the game was basically green hallways)

MGS4:being able to pick either side of a battle and change the outcome of the war

A couple of BB players told me that ST has no strategy.

$ony saying the PS2 could do Toy Story level graphics in games.

I looked at the thread title and I immediatly thought about all the Mortal Kombat lies:

I remember when Deadly Alliance there was supposed to be one “Final Secret”.The Playstation Magazine was saying that the Final Secret was on the demo disc that came with it…smh Not even MKDA was on there lol.nothing,then ppl online were saying that if u beat the game in 12 minutes and 43 seconds you’ll be rewarded.Tried too,impossible!Beat that game on MAX,although it was fun hunting lol.I was nice in MKDA.

And yes…I WISH SHENMUE 3 would come out!!!

Sushi-X was multiple people. They just assigned somebody the title when they needed an extra review. Quartermaster (I think that was the name) was multiple people as well. Trickman Terry was a real person though. If you wanna hear EGM stories you should check out the 1upyours podcast from 2 or more years back when they had a bunch of old time EGM dudes on it. The PlayerOne Podcast also has tales of the golden days.

Oblivion when displayed at E3 for the first time. So many damn “features” they didn’t make it to the retail game, nothing but lies… ALL LIES!!!

Makes me worry of the outcome for Skyrim.

  • Luigi being in Super Mario 64.
  • Battletoads was only 1-player.
  • SNK being garbage because SF4 > KOFXII.
  • AOF/FF/FHD etc. being direct rip-offs of SF.
  • SOR3 < SOR2 because it didn’t have a good soundtrack.
  • Michael Jordan being in NBA Jam.
  • Raph sucking in every TMNT game cause his weapons are short.
  • Jumping over the flag pole in SMB1
  • Knuckles being playable in Sonic 1 with the lock-on cartigate.

I also heard about the lara strip cheat, and I didn’t believe it. Also, I remember some dude trolling me about being able to have guest characters fight each other in SC2 via some modding technique.

Akuma in Resident Evil 2.

Damn that was amazing.

Actually, you can jump over the pole in the original Super mario bros

Cool. You got a video?

YEAH CHECK THE GOD DAMN LINK I LEFT IN THIS THREAD GUYS

YOU WILL LIKE IT I SWEAR

ok

I spent weeks trying to get fucker marty on MarioKart64, but it never worked :sad: :sad:

I think smash bros is the worst when it comes to this…Specially when you’re a kid…I remember going on various game cheat and code websites…I cried my ass off losing all my smash coins trying to unlock Toad by beating all star mode on very hard without dying. I got all the way to last stage(game and watch) and died…I just continued to play…Hoping I got SOMETHING for my effort… and never could beat those Fukkas…You have to fight like five of em at one time if I remember right. lol

…Soooo many fake characters as unlockables in that game.

My cousin is also one of those ‘lying for no reason’ types…" Fei long has a move where he throws flaming nunchucks at you" lol…Till this day I think he just stole that shit from Killer Instinct gold.

I don’t know if anyone remembers the Gametalk.com forums from a few years ago. But,I remember like 10 years ago right after Dragonball Z Budokai came out there was this big rumor that you could unlock Super Saiyan 4 Goku by completing all of story mode,getting every capsule,and beating world tournament mode 20 times in a row on advanced without losing and without any ring outs. I feel sorry for all the poor people that actually tried :frowning:

You could throw Chun Li’s bracelets.

Welcome to Bethesda.

“We invented the word Scrolls”

Chun-Li may not, but I know someone else who can!
