A classic lol

selale.bsky.social•33 days ago

Auto save and music change .

vyxsin.bsky.social•33 days ago

A very similar feeling - how it feels to enter a rave and see empty whipped cream chargers and balloons on the ground 😂

racecar2000.bsky.social•33 days ago

Just like in real life

nomomysterio.bsky.social•33 days ago

I call it DOOMshadowing.

I love this lmfao I literally think this any time I see a bunch of ammo

when I saw that in Gears of War & Halo, s**t going down

thebiggestdick.bsky.social•33 days ago

I feel like we just did that as an America

"Spots a randomly played waist high wall 👀"

duder42.bsky.social•33 days ago

Don't forget the doors or gates that immediately lock behind you.

"NO, I WASN'T DONE EXPLORING THAT AREA!"

ohhjim.bsky.social•33 days ago

Exactly what happens in ‘Warhammer Vermintide’.

dylanjbrown.bsky.social•33 days ago

In Wukong it’s 50/50, which I find more unsettling. You never know if you’re about to get your ass handed to you lol

camogoji.bsky.social•33 days ago

"Oh no, I hear horns and latin"

shandy.posts.games•33 days ago

That my friend is what we call a "Boss Fountain"!

brennan.computer•33 days ago

yeah!

Boss fountain.

"Why do I hear boss music"

momaw.bsky.social•33 days ago

Subvert expectations by giving players a giant arena full of ammo which has no monsters in it. The boss fight occurs in the hallway after they leave.

petrichoropossum.bsky.social•33 days ago

or in mario rpgs (i don't play many other rpgs so idk if they do the same) when there's a save block and a healing method right next to eachother

hrhclaire.bsky.social•33 days ago

And the save point right outside before you go in (hopefully)

phiwopharm.bsky.social•32 days ago

Borderlands Pre-Sequel, 2 a 3. Boss fights are good fun.

michael01085.bsky.social•33 days ago

Exactly! I came across a scenario just like that In Star Wars Outlaws the other day.

ckneller21.bsky.social•33 days ago

When you see a bunch of other players' bodies strewn about in Nier:Automata...

nefariouslordj.bsky.social•33 days ago

Me every time. 😂

spenserblack.bsky.social•33 days ago

Evil game development idea: have an area like that with no boss, but then a boss shows up in the hallway after (and you can't backtrack to the arena)

selale.bsky.social•33 days ago

I love it when the boss comes charging at you...
then runs right by as the bigger boss chases him down and eats him before turning to you.

spenserblack.bsky.social•33 days ago

There was a great fake-out like that in Dino Crisis 2 IIRC
