Gaming for over 30 years and I've seen vastly more waterfalls without secrets behind them than there have been waterfalls that do. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

But we still check every time, just in case

[–] Beelzebob@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago

But the disappointment is still there.

and yet, walked into a waterfall in a game yesterday and yup, there’s somethin in here

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Theres just some quick crack hit about finding an easy secret behind a waterfall that we search for our entire lives. Its just cheap dopamine.

I feel like I'm in the minority, but I still get a little excited every time. Probably more due to "They did it! That's sweet" than "I was right". I think it's because it still means it was made by somebody who cares

[–] ChildEater@iusearchlinux.fyi 6 points 10 months ago

Exactly. I like the tradition of always hiding something behind a waterfall.

i do hvac service house calls. one time a kid was playing fortnite (maybeike 8 years old?) in the next room on some custom map/game idk i don’t play it i’m an old fuck BUT: there was a waterfall and i told him he should check behind it just in case. there was a treasure chest? behind it and homie literally thought i was some genius oracle, his jaw dropped and he stared at me for like five seconds lol. i felt like a god

what I really want is a snarky 4th wall breaking note about expecting to find treasure behind a water fall with possible implications of niavety

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

There's a jukebox behind it playing "don't go chasing waterfalls..."

Do it like FromSoft. Put a cool item in a barrel early game and I'll smash all the barrels i see to get nothing 😊

The first time I played The Binding of Isaac, on the first tinted rock I saw and bombed its gave me an spirit heart. You can believe the disappointment I had finding that not every tinted rock gives you a spirit heart.

I greatly appreciate Far Cry 2 which was lousy with waterfalls. A few of them had secrets.

[–] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Huh, I don't remember exploring any waterfalls in Far Cry 2, but overall I think that game had great gem locations and locating experience.

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm still always hyped when I find treasure behind a waterfall

[–] don@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

β€œGASP It’s a secret path?! Yo we goin on an adventure!”

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 10 months ago

Maybe you should play a special tune with your Flute of 4th Dimension.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Put something other than a chest behind the waterfall!
