Video Games Knowledge Quiz - Season 9 - Pirez

[The Jonster]

Rayman 2/Revolution, Rayman M, GTA: San Andreas, GTA: VIce City, Shadow the Hedgehog, Spongebob Squarepants: Lights, Camera, Pants, Persona 3, and Persona 4.

Ok to add to this answer, Nickelodeon Party Blast and Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom?

I feel like because you said there was an easy game, there's probably another GTA game....but I have no idea which one it could be.

[lyndo64]

I believe it had something to do with the controversy in (San Andreas?), with a not-so child-friendly cutscene being found in the game's files, I think she had something to do with the game (San Andreas) being re-rated Adults-Only, but I'm not sure, I only vaguely remember hearing about this once.

[Greengoop]

Maybe they outsourced it to another developer and they decided to troll by making that and praying they wouldn’t notice?

[DaveRattlehead]

lyndo is correct! Hot Coffee was a minigame that wasn't playable in GTA San Andreas, but modders recovered it and found out it was about explicit sex. Hillary Clinton was one of the politicians who were extremely angry about this, so Rockstar's answer was putting her face in the Statue of Liberty holding a hot coffee.

Really, lyndo had no points? Welcome to the board!

Question 33
What does the Luigi secret in Super Mario 64 refers to?

Bonus Question 1
Name 10 different games that use Renderware as game engine

Bonus Question 2
Name all the games that won the GOTY award from 2003 to 2024.

[EdgyRabbid]

The secret refers to the fact people thought that Luigi was secretly playable. Either that or it’s the L is real

[Greengoop]

The full story is that there was a sign at the water fountain in the castle garden that said “L is real 2401” (though it also appeared in the Dodongo’s cavern in Ocarina Of Time.), making many people believe the “L” meant Luigi. There were lots of myths on how to unlock Luigi, anything from getting the mystical 121st star to performing a ridiculous sequence of events. (The latter was the subject of a popular screamer that is now lost media.)

Though the greatest thing about that is how 24 years and 1 month after the game’s release, people found evidence of Luigi being a playable character in the files.

[The Jonster]

Isn’t it amazing how things can still be discovered about a game, years after its release?

[Greengoop]

It really makes me wonder what else is out there, up for grabs. 121st star maybe?

[Rsandee]

This video game conspiracy resurfaced in the DS version of SM64, theorizing Waluigi as a playable character haha.

[Greengoop]

100% true, and the same thing happened for Bowser in NSMB.

[DaveRattlehead]

Edge's answer is a bit vague compared to Greengoop's more complete explanation, so Greengoop gets the point!

Bonus Question 1
Name 10 different games that use Renderware as game engine

Bonus Question 2
Name all the games that won the GOTY award from 2003 to 2024.

[EdgyRabbid]

Nintendo was sued by universal because donkey Kong was a rip off of King Kong. They won the law suit, and to honor their lawyer, who’s name was Kirby, they named the character Kirby!

[DaveRattlehead]

That's it

Bonus Question 1
Name 10 different games that use Renderware as game engine

Bonus Question 2
Name all the games that won the GOTY award from 2003 to 2024.

[Pirez]

Wasn't it that the soundtrack composer plagiarized a lot of stuff?

[Greengoop]

Maybe they accidentally added a Naruto character?

[Rsandee]

Was it another controversy surrounding Mr. Popo?

[DaveRattlehead]

Wasn't it that the soundtrack composer plagiarized a lot of stuff?

Didn't expect it to be that quick, but yeah, that's correct. Crazy to think you could find many, many plagiarized songs in such a famous franchise, but it happened! Here you have some examples:

• Disturbed - Enemy was plagiarized here
• Stratovarius - Infinity was plagiarized here
• Disturbed - The game was plagiarized here
• Stratovarius - Hunting high & low was plagiarized here

There are many other examples which include Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chilli Peppers...
There are no references to Greenday or Blink-182, Greengoop!
So yup, basically Budokai 3 had a fantastic OST... Because it wasn't original

What is the Nemesis system?

Bonus Question 1
Name 10 different games that use Renderware as game engine

Bonus Question 2
Name all the games that won the GOTY award from 2003 to 2024.

[Pirez]

It's a patented game mechanic where one (seemingly random) enemy is assigned a special significance and acknowledging it results in variation in the game's world.

Ex : kill him and you get a boost in notoriety, help him/be defeated by him and he moves up in the enemy's rank and gains power in his tribe.

It was been patented by Warner Bros for the Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War games and never been used since.

[Rsandee]

I'd like to ammend that it is also used in other games, such as FPS games like TF2.
When you kill a player a lot of times or a player is killed a lot of times by the same person, the person that kills gets a nemesis status.
Everything else functions in the same manner.

Doom Eternal had used a similar concept for computer enemies, in the form of Empowered demons.
