8 Most Spiteful Video Game Easter Eggs Ever

8. Leaps Of Faith Are Dumb (The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings)

We all know that video games aren't exactly designed with realism in mind, but that hasn't stopped some people from pointing out how ludicrous Assassin's Creed's leap of faith stunts truly are.

"These ordinary humans dive off buildings that are hundreds of feet in the air... and they cushion their landings with measly bales of hay?! What?!"

Bear in mind that this is a franchise where a patch of grass can obscure you from view, even when you're right in front of an enemy soldier... but sure, let's all single out the leaps of faith.

It's not just the fans that like to joke about this over-the-top element of the Assassin's Creed games, either. The developers of 2011's The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings also joined in on the mockery, with an early-game mission leading Geralt to a dead assassin - who has clearly died from a long fall - lying in a bed of hay.

Now sure, you could interpret this as a playful nod to a competing action-adventure franchise, but Geralt's droll line "Guess they'll never learn" makes it feel more like a mean-spirited diss.
