10 More Video Games That Rewarded You For Being An Idiot
8. Rage-Quitting Against The End - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid 3 boasts one of the most iconic and ingenious boss fights in video game history, when Naked Snake takes on The End, the 100-year-old sniper who presents a major challenge to unprepared players.
The End's preternatural marksmanship and tracking abilities make him the toughest foe in the entire game, and first-time players can spend literally hours figuring out how to throw him off their scent and locate his hiding place.
Hideo Kojima did include a secret, far simpler solution for struggling players, however, as saving the game mid-fight and setting your system clock forward by eight days will result in The End dying of old age when you reload the game.
But some players actually stumbled upon this by pure accident, simply because they became too frustrated by the boss fight and "rage quit" the game for an extended period.
Upon returning to the game, they found their sulking rewarded with the corpse of the boss they so desperately struggled to defeat. Genius.
