Worst loading screen-tip

[Steelfists]

Never pet a burning dog.

(Either Starcraft, Warcraft II, or both).

O_O Thats from Generation Kill!

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Press RT to shoot.

NOOOOO REALLY?!

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

I cant remember what game it was but the tip was: Use the left stick to move and the right stick to control the camera.

 

[Kage Me]

Press RT to shoot.

NOOOOO REALLY?!

How is that a bad tip?

 

[Aanorith]

Hehe, timesplitters 3 "got no friends? play with bots!" is classic.

 

[traceur_]

Consume people to restore health -- Prototype

Thanks I've been doing that for the entire fucking game and I just forgot!

 

[Reep]

"Watch out when attacking enemies, some enemies will fight back."

Dear god i hope they dont, what a bad game it would be if they did!

 

[Reep]

BF2142:
"Combine the squad leader bacon with the squad leader eggs for a healthy, nutritious breakfast for freshly spawned squad members."

Seriously.

This is in the fucking game.

Since when was bacon and eggs healthy!?

 

[Legion]

I hate that sometimes a tip would come up, that you would want to read, but the game loads and fades away before you've even had a chance to finish the sentence.

These ones.

Also the ones that tell you the really obvious things like which button is shoot.

 

[whaleswiththumbs]

Paraphrase from some game, but:
"Only idiots need in-game tips."

 

[Valkyira]

"press A to jump" really????? WOOOOOOWWWW

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Timesplitters 3: "Have you played as -insert character name here- yet?"

Wow, how helpful. Either I've unlocked them and have played as that character, in which case the message is worthless, or I haven't and have no idea who they are or how to get them.

You know what game I wish had load screen messages telling you how to do stuff? Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes. The manual would be better used as kindling. Completely useless.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

I can't remember anything in particular but I hate it when they are saying something useful and I'm like "Oh!" and then it is done loading and I didn't get to read it... meaningless >_>

 

[sandro666]

Lets see.... oh I know it was the phrase "LISTEN!" by Navi in Zelda 64 that pissed me off the most. I almost went insane

 

[Agent Larkin]

A very rare one from Civ4
"Never start a land war in Asia".

 

[Nia-san]

From Sins of a Solar Empire: "Use the construction frigates to build important structures"

hmmm, if they are called construction frigates you would think that is what they do.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

From Dead Space

"use health packs to recover lost health"

Oh, god XD

"Put your right hand on the doorknob,
Twist clockwise with previously stated hand,
pull backwards with arm connected to aforementioned hand,
to open a door."

Note: That is patented now, I'm going to put it in my game! >

 

[Necrith]

World of Warcraft:

You can turn these tips off in the option menu.

This, and:

 

[JakCurse]

"Press the R button before the banzai soldier stabs you"

I'M FUCKING TRYING. YOU JUST HAPPENED TO PUT IT IN THE MOST AWKWARD PLACE FOR A BUTTON, EVER. Sorry I don't have the ninja skills of Neo COD.

What the hell was up with the little death message in that that reads "War in never right. Only left."

"War does not determine who is right. Only who is left."


And it's pretty damn self explanitory.

Could be many things. Left or right wing politics maybe? It could mean that it's not the people who we're correct (right), but the ones that survived (left).

Or it could just be a joke.

It's taken to mean correctness and survivors.

It's a play on words; I can't really explain it any better than that. It's just too simple.
