8 "Blink And You'll Miss It" Video Game Secrets
6. An Entire Backstory - No More Heroes
One of the most fascinating things about the No More Heroes series is just how keen it is to exploit tropes of the action game genre as well as player expectations.
The title makes it very clear from the off that it's not ever taking itself too seriously, with Travis Touchdowns main drive in life being to kill high ranking assassins in the hopes of drawing the attention of an attractive woman, as well as the numerous fourth wall shattering moments it then presents.
However, one moment, in particular, turns from being humorous to horrifying depending on the speed at which you view it. When Jeanne arrives on the scene in order to do battle with Travis, she warns him - and by extension the player - that her backstory is dark, violent, and shocking, leading to Travis fast-forwarding the explanation, so to up the age rating of the game even further!
It's played for laughs at this speed, that the content was just that shocking, however, you can slow the action down to hear the sordid tale for yourselves, and suddenly it's not funny at all. Hearing the horrors that Jeanne went through in order to get to this precise moment is a secret you may come to wish you'd never heard at all.
