7 Times Games Mocked You for Cheating

Videogames take skill and persistence and we’re busy people, so can you blame us for using the occasional cheat to get ahead? Yes, apparently, especially if you’re the videogame we’re currently cheating in, as you’ll see for yourself in these seven times videogames knew that we were cheating and roasted us senseless for it.

Oh How I miss classic chair on the white background

The Stanley Parable should be on this list. There's nothing quite like being taken to The Serious Room and having the narrator of the game berate you for trying to cheat, and being sentenced to a hundred billion trillion years of standing in The Serious Room with only a very serious-looking table for company to make you think about what you've done.

So you’re saying I should win 19 rounds in a row, then let the dice guy win a round?

Jade empire has been on a lot of lists lately. Are you guys trying to pull an Ellen and get it remastered?

"NERD!"
— Andy, who is also the de facto leader of the Oxventurer's Guild, a D&D party; 2021.

I feel bad for the Fable players that accidentally found where the treasure was and ended up with a crappy weapon

[petermayer]

Alien Isolation didn't fiddle around with tricky punishments, it just straight up didn't let you use the keypads until you've found the keycode for it

[offsaudade]

Cheats are fun unfortunately cheats are rarely included in games nowadays

[chazzburke]

Useless frypan? Clearly you've never been caught in the rain in need of a drying pan

[Some__Guy]

The first one can be avoided by just loading back a save, losing once, and then redoing the whole thing. Unless it also programmed in a way to detect that you just so happened to lose one roll before the 20 roll limit.

Ok I did not expect the gambling guy from jade empire TO EXPLODE!!!

Did anyone expect that?

[andymcp]

The Witcher 3 had a good one, make too much gold too quickly through a glitch or exploit and Geralt gets a visit from a suspicious tax man asking about undeclared income

[coffeeaddict]

"Nerd!"
-Andy, the man famous for playing a pirate.

[SolidSonicTH]

I like the Crash Bandicoot one. That was pretty creative of them to acknowledge that.

[bcfb]

Who else went “whoa Andy you got something on your head buddy!”

[Kate_Fyria]

Andy calling someone a Nerd for playing D&D as he plays his own weekly D&D show is some nonsense! NERD! Now excuse me, me and my 2 d&d sessions tomorrow need some prep time.

[YamiYuseiGG]

No Persona 3? Fuuka literally calls you out on it, fully voiced too iirc.

[thanatos]

If I recall correctly, some of these, like the fable frying pan and the dungeon master's ire one also trigger if you figure it out without collecting all the clues (because the game only checks the "has found all the clues?" flag).
Fable at least, powers up the pan a little for each clue you find, but I think Prey had a pass/fail thing (so, if you find three digits, but brute force the fourth, you still get the DM's Ire)

[EngagedWithLarxene]

"Presumably born out of Naughty Dog's wish to jump forward in time to the point where they were making Uncharted- and Last of Us-games instead of yet another sequel about sassy bandicoots"

I see you are as good at ignoring the Jak & Daxter-series as Naughty Dog themselves

16:48 "I mean, if I'm in hell, I get, ironic punishment for all those mean Reddit posts I made about The Phantom Menace"

So that was YOU!
