A thread has been opened on Gaming Reddit where players are supposed to confess their biggest sins. Some are just mean, others more curious. We have picked the highlights for you and look forward to reading your sins in the comments.
What are these sins? The sins are very different and not all of them are really bad.
The top comment comes from the user Stanglemeir, who talks about blowing up a Minecraft server. He destroyed most of the project with 100 stacks of TNT because the owner suddenly became greedy and introduced what he saw as a brazen monetization. Some commentators here believe that it is not a sin at all, but that he made sure to provide a just punishment.
XenonFyre, on the other hand, reports that he never leveled up lockpicking in Skyrim. Instead, he saved before each chest and simply reloaded the game in case of failure. Others report that they always cheat here and simply give themselves a thousand lockpicks.
But it can also be really mean.
Deleted Friends’ Save Files and Thrown Penguins to Their Deaths
Which sins are really uncomfortable? Such as the one from Burribro348. As a child, he desperately wanted to have all three starter Pokémon and inflicted something painful on his brother:
I had Pokémon Silver, my brother had Gold. He had just beaten the Elite Four, probably the proudest moment of his young life.
However, I then started a new game on his cartridge so I could get all three starter Pokémon. Then I started a new game again, with his old name, etc., and simply said that the game must have had an error.
There were tears. I’m sorry, brother.
Some other users report that they have either done something similar or experienced something similar.
Coffee-Soup, however, told all his friends that Pokémon Mystery Dungeon was a really good game but did not reveal that he had used a trick to not need food in dungeons. His friends, on the other hand, were struggling with the high difficulty.
Pokémon can be quite brutal!
One sin that is most frequently confessed, however, is the bad treatment of NPCs:
- A player threw the penguin in Mario 64 off the cliff, exactly when the mother was watching.
- Another one always locked the butler in Tomb Raider in the freezer.
- In Zoo Tycoon, several players released lions on visitors or other animals.
- Several users report that they paid for sex with a prostitute in GTA, only to run her over and get their money back.
Cheats and the Annoying Issue of Time
What do the players confess? Time and again, players report cheats they have used.
In Gears of War, the difficulty level Hardcore is really difficult. But when you play with two players, one can set the difficulty to “Hardcore” and the second player can set it to “Easy.” The second player can then simply shoot throughout the game while the first player hides. He still gets the achievement for beating the game on Hardcore mode.
Another more general sin is time. A father, for example, says he can only play everything on easy because he doesn’t have time to get into higher difficulty levels.
But there is also the other extreme. Thoarzar reports that despite 800+ hours of gameplay, he has never finished Skyrim because he keeps creating new characters.
But which of the sins do you find the worst? And what is your biggest sin? Feel free to write it in the comments.
