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 31 points 1 year ago

But the disappointment is still there.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 3 points 1 year 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.

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

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

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

Put something other than a chest behind the waterfall!
