10 Video Games That Knew You'd Try To Break Them
10. Guessing The Door Code - South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Early on in The Fractured But Whole, the impressive sequel to the equally impressive South Park: The Stick of Truth, you need to get into the basement of Cartman’s house.
The code to the door can be found in a diary in his room but you can pretty easily break the puzzle by either following a guide online or knowing the show well enough to guess that the three digit code is probably “f**k you mum”. Each number has a word on it including ‘You’, ‘Poop’ and ‘My’, and while plenty of classic Cartman phrases can be replicated with the numpad, the classic three word insult frequently levied at his single parent makes the most sense.
Enter the correct code without checking the diary first, however, and Cartman pops up on screen dressed as Bill Belichek calling you Tom Brady and asking if you want to play the game properly or just be known as a, quote, “smug cheating bitch for the rest of your life.”
He’ll refuse to open the door and give you a couple more sledges, saying you broke the rules and repeatedly calling you Tom Brady. The only way to proceed is to actually go find the diary for yourself.
