10 Video Games That Mock You For Trying Too Hard
3. Wait An Hour And See What Happens - High On Life
High On Life is yet another title in which you can’t walk a single step without someone making fun of you in-game, or as the player.
However, there is only one instance in the game where you get laughed at for trying, and it’s a supremely frustrating experience.
During the hunt for character Douglas, you enter a theatre in which your target plays a training video for new recruits in his organization. In the video, he instructs the recruits to wait one full hour to begin a special exercise he prepared for them.
The game makes it immediately clear that it doesn’t want you to wait and that you should look for an alternate way to infiltrate Douglas’s lair.
Of course though, you can choose to prove your great patience and wait for Douglas’s test to begin.
Except... it never really happens.
Although the game teases you with short intermissions from Douglas telling you how much time has passed, waiting the full hour only results in Douglas sarcastically congratulating you, and then causing the door to the next exercise to malfunction as it’s about to open.
Thanks for wasting everyone’s time, game!
