I miss the trend of games insulting you for quitting
Similarly, picking a difficulty option in Doom

Kolanaki, I just recently picked up a game that brings back the “quit insult” but I’m blanking on which one it was (I got a few new things for my birthday the other day so it’s all just a congealed mess in my head).
The_Picard_Maneuver, Nice. It’s always fun to see games continuing the tradition.
waybackguy, Max Payne “I was too tired to go on.” or “I was afraid to go on.”
Game over screens too like Arkham City with the villain mocking Batman. System Shock with the hopeless death animation. Sometimes the deaths can get elaborate and repetitive though like some horror games.
Krudler, Not quite on topic but I miss one thing from Llamatron. When you paused it showed a small icon of a toilet or a cigarette.
Vordimous, There is an indy game called Barony that does this. I got this message when closing the game after getting smooshed by a boulder. https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/9e5e9670-a3e4-4bf3-867a-1abf8076c23c.png
FlashMobOfOne, In Solasta: Crown of the Magister, if you miss your spell or your shot your party members will talk shit. It’s funny.
tigeruppercut, I like the “if doom was like CoD” vid from like 10 yrs ago
Bitflip, Embrace cowardice? Yes No
Matriks404, Old games had a soul. Modern games have microtransactions.
Only Indie games nowadays give me a feeling of getting into something that is made out of love, and not solely for money.
Texas_Hangover, id was the best for good natured shit-talking. Until 3d Realms ran out of gum.
lakemalcom10, I have been saying “Press ‘Y’ to be a weenie” for as long as I can remember

Love this one from Carmageddon
c0m47053, Was hoping to find this here, many happy childhood memories playing this one
SpaceNoodle, What does it say?
crushyerbones, I think it’s “Return to a life where you don’t get internal organs in your hair?”
SpaceNoodle, Best I can do is “literal vegans in your hair”
moody, I’ll pass, thanks.
neidu2, I remember using Fasttracker2 in the 90’s, and when hitting the exit button it showed a yes/no dialog box: “Was Rome really built in a day?”
And Carmageddon asked something along the lines of “Really go back to screaming kids and pets that need toilet training?”
Aatube, For FastTracker 2, which one's quit and which one's stay? BC it feels like if you think Rome wasn't built in a day you take a break from sequencing to take a rest
neidu2, I honestly don’t remember. It’s been 25 years.
Lath, I remember some parents once sued a gaming company for making such messages with the claim that it was encouraging addiction. Or not as it the article making that claim?
Tar_alcaran, Don’t go, the drones need you!
bleistift2, I hate Ubisoft, but I love that Anno keeps reminding you to stop playing.
