10 Times Video Games Totally Broke Your Trust - Commenter Edition

2. Fake Knockout Sign - Cuphead

In a case of it being a positive to be chronically online, you wouldn’t have been fooled by one of brutal platformer Cuphead’s most brutal betrayals of your trust; a fake knockout sign. That blessed knockout sign means all your tense minutes of hard-earned evasion, attacks, and platforming are finally over.

If you do decide to take your hands off the controls and celebrate early, though, you might see your fate sealed in the final moments by a sneaky snail that crawls out from under the baddie’s hat.

There’s nothing quite as painful as being trolled by the sign too late for you to recover and seeing you made it right to the end only to be taken out in the final moments. We trusted you, Knockout sign, for shame.
