>most iconic and memed moments of videogames happen within the first hour because only 10% of players actually play games to completion
Once you start noticing this, you cannot un-notice it.

More like you only understand those memes because YOU are the shitter who can't complete games.
They happen because devs wanna get you like the game from the start.
Actually that’s a sawtooth shark
>ackshully
shut up, meg
Sharks are fish
Same with any memes from TV shows. Did you know that 99.9% of Simpsons and Family Guy memes come from their first 4 seasons?
The good bits?
>the beginning of the game is the most playtested and therefore the most polished
Once you start noticing this, you cannot un-notice it.
Nano machines, son.

This should truly be the end of the thread here.
In Portal "The cake is a lie" doesn't show up until test chamber 16.
Portal is quite literally 2 hours long
To you who's played it 5 times over the past 15 years
Not to the teenage you who played it for the first time blind in 2009
>exposing yourself as low IQ with no special awareness
>special awareness
It also has a 50+% completion rate so it wouldn't matter either way.
yes, in the first hour. that's what he said
To add on this the famous lemons rant in Portal 2 occurs about 3/4 into the game.
this just reads as if you, specifically, mostly play games that are predominantly played by people that dont complete their games
Name 5
The one I remember most distinctly was god of war 3. Goddamn that opener was crazy. The rest of the game was good but it never measured up.
Press F to pay respects
>I need a weapon.
and
>It's dangerous to go alone!
I noticed this specifically with GTA San Andreas. All the popular memes (here we go again, you picked the wrong house fool, big smoke's order, follow the damn train) are from the first five hours of the game before CJ is exiled out of Los Santos. Barely anything from the rest of the game gets memed on.
i remember beating the game and wondering why tenpenny's death wasn't more discussed
That's probably also at least partly because you stop interacting with the ghetto Black folk as much for a while
Also GTA 5. Lamar's "yee yee ass haircut" and "homieaaaa" lines are probably the most quoted thing from the game, and it's literally the opening mission with Franklin after the prologue.
Another one of these is GTA 4 and "Niko let's go bowling." It only really happens at the beginning of the game when Roman is the only friend Niko has. I remember on my last playthrough, Little Jacob and Brucie called me way more often than Roman did.
I don't think Roman ever called me to go bowling. He always wanted to go to the strip club to see big American teetees
All the Senator Armstrong memes are from the semi-final cutscene/final fight
Sam memes are also from pretty late into the game
also sundowner's "i'm fricking invincible" and monsoon's lines about memes are all from the back half of the game
MGR is just that good.
>one of the biggest Fallout 3 memes is the fricking ending
only part of the story that is worth discussing, aside from "ur a computer not a president, silly"
TUNNEL SNAKES RULE!
Fallout New Vegas definitely has a lot of memes throughout the game. The "hungry, thirsty, horny?" crier girl, Mr. Fantastic's "theoretical degree in physics", and Ulysses's "Bear and Bull" monologue are all pretty far in there.
Why would I care
kids these days never listened to CDs on the schoolbus and dealt with it skipping every time the bus hit a bump
this is why they are weak. mp3 killed them
I remember on a school trip one of my classmates brought his CD player with him and played some house music
We told him it was skipping and he said "no man that's just what EDM is like"
After 1 minute of the same beat it turned out it was actually skipping
I had asthma as a child and my stepmom hated me. One time, it was really bad, I laid on the couch for two weeks struggling to breathe, barely staying alive. She told me it was my fault, because I asked my dad (an artist) to draw a picture of a milk carton with a halo and wings ascending to heaven, and then left that drawing in the locker of my friend, a girl. It was an inside joke and would take too long to explain.
anyway, while I was struggling to breathe and survive, she told me that girl killed herself because of that drawing. we couldn't go to the hospital because my dad was a wanted felon, on the FBI MOST WANTED list for most of my childhood.
Anyway, obviously I pulled through, and I broke that b***h's legs when I was a teenager and moved out. She didn't know it was me
I will believe your story if you post a picture of your female childhood friend
Don't have any pictures. Her name was Elizabeth, in a small Kentucky town.
Are these bot posts? Wtf is happening?
I just thought the story about a CD skipping and a dude thinking it's le epic house beat was funny, sorry. Dunno why it triggered some dude's fake story copypasta
it's a true story.
Bots aren't allowed to use cusswords.

Way more people could quote the introduction to Rapture than explain the meaning behind these words
God that was a good twist.
>Saw an orca with a beluga yesterday. The pacific has fallen.
They could add more. Frick I still haven't completed ToTK and I'm 425 hours in.
>ESV
>"Oh you're finally awake" being the first scripted sequence
>"arrow to the knee" guard, likely encountered in Whiterun
>only thuum memed was fus roh dah which was the first one
Fricking hell, you are on to something
>fus roh dah which was the first one
which was in the trailer*
The most famous lines from Morrowind are from the final boss.
If you look at the trophies and cheevos for games you will quickly notice that a lot of people don't even have the trophies that the game hands you 5 minutes into the game. Persona 5 has people who never even got to the point that they unlock a persona. Elden Ring only has 79.1% who reached the Roundtable Hold.
Explain Geno in Smash, Wet Dry World Anxiety and Grovylegayging (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon) through this lens.
You have 30 seconds.
Youtube videos. You don't have to play a game to watch a video.
>tendie making demands
No
>Geno in Smash
Very easy to piggyback off of the loudest of Twitter users
>WDW Anxiety
Nearly everyone had played SM64 and it's not a terribly long game, an average person can beat it in a few days plus the whole "every copy of Mario 64 is personalized" meme was more of the overall consistent game feel that had WDW negative aura lumped in with it
>PMD Grovylegayging
never have heard or seen this one and I have a WFH job that allows me to be terminally online, so it simply doesn't exist in the eyes of normalgays and therefore cannot possibly pass as a "most memed moment"
malenia was one of the most memed parts of elden ring and she's endgame
Challenge run streamers.
Aerith's death and Tidus laugh
>Tidus laugh
Even now, more than 20 years later, I'm still vaguely mad that this specific scene was picked up by a bunch of tards back in the day as "proof" that the voice acting was bad, or how Tidus is this seagull-laughing moron. Both are kind of true, but it's still completely missing the point of the scene.
>mfw anon calls the VA good
He does a hell of a Fred Flintstone.
>he can't read
One of the biggest meme moments in modern games is the Malenia fight in Elden Ring because it was really fricking hard and walled end game players and then was boosted by let me solo her.
One of most memorable moments of RE5 is Chris punching the boulder, and that takes place during the final boss fight.
My exact same first thought. Let's see what else..
>Trauma Center diffusing a bomb
>MGRR Armstrong
>Dragon's Dogma mountain pass bandit
Maybe it'd be more convincing if OP provided his examples of "first hour memes".
The most memed moment in Metal Gear Rising is the final boss
I dunno. When Genshin got released, the emergency food meme ran rampant on the internet, but was eventually overtaken by Cocogoat. And that quest is nearly the last one in 1.0.
Off the top of my head:
Probably the most talked about part of Republic Commando is Sev's death and it happens in the final mission.
People loved Liberty Prime when Fallout 3 was popular and he's only present in the end- and post-game.
One of the most talked parts of Fallout 1 is The Master. And I think the meme dialogues in Navarro in Fallout 2 are pretty far in as well.
The most lasting meme for RDR2 is Dutch's "I HAVE A PLAN" deal which he really only digs in on later in the game.
The 'no way, gay' meme from RE4 is a joke about the final cutscene.
Ah yes, the ladder scene in MGS3 happens in the first hour
>Really like memes about a game
>The game itself is pretty boring
Fricking Platinum
>most memed part of TW games are the end-game scenarios
Truly, the patrician's genre!
>playing FOTS
>wanna go Republic
>prepare for dozens of turns for RD because I know I will have to fight all of Japan
>make 3 perfectly optimized armies
>trigger RD
>entirety of Japan united against me has about 1.5 combat capable armies
>easily win
Still disappointed by that
>play FotS
>get bored preparing, YOLO Kyoto
>unleash a 15-turn total war of attrition where my one doomstack gets attacked by 2-3 stacks EACH turn while all my other armies barely hold the other fronts
it was kino
>the doomstack in question
that's the weirdest guitar I've ever seen.
In the old days when games were expensive you'd play them over and over but the parts you'd see the most were the beginning either because it was arcade style, or because you wouldn't finish your replays, or even because you were a kid and just couldn't get past the beginning.
Game devs also would put their best stuff at the beginning to pull you in. And for a lot of games the start is simple and elegant whereas the back half becomes overly complex or unbalanced, often because of lack of playtesting or the later sections being rushed. For example, the first 30% of RE4 and Dark Souls 1 are simply better than the rest of those games.
>visual storytelling medium puts it's strongest foot forward so people know what they're getting into and don't lose interest
wow. no way.
You have to finish RDR1 to unlock
>WORK YA DAMN NAG
Edgeworth saying the Autopsy report is outdated happens literally only once but people act like it's a reoccurring thing. Hell I think the autopsy report has only been updated like 3 times in the entire series
Many of the most popular animations from the series like von Karma bashing his head against the wall are from the end of cases and often the breakdown of the culprit.
I'm pretty sure 94% of its player base never made it to this part.
You guys are just now noticing this?
Obviously it's because of first impressions.
>first hour
That's being generous.
33% of people who purchased HL2 quit before getting the crowbar.
30% quit before the Combine apartment raid.
28% quit before the "pick up that can" scene.
god damn fricking zoomers, I played HL2 before there were any achievements in it. Get fricked.
Completion rates are super skewed against games in the dollar bin vs full priced releases.
You would be suprised how many people think Vergil actually sits in a plastic chair at the end of DMC5
