the game’s code isn’t broken it’s your
moral code that’s broken bro only
problem is I’m playing with some money I
meant to give to these our family and
scumbags
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 ways games have punished you for
cheating and piracy for this list we’re
recognizing some of the most unique and
sometimes hilarious methods of
countering pirates and cheaters number
10 invincible enemies Serious Sam 3 BFP
in many games there are always those
enemies that are irritating with how
hard they are to kill you’ve got the
iron knuckle from Legend of Zelda
regenerators in Resident Evil and the
Xenomorphs from alien vs. predator but
developer crow team took this piece of
game design and cranked the difficulty
up to holy crap this is impossible
literally if you’re caught playing a
cracked copy of Serious Sam 3 you will
be hunted down by an unkillable
arachnoid while it’s kind of frightening
at first you will quickly get on your
nerves
only provoking you to waste more time
and ammunition and we thought those
beheaded kamikaze guys were paid in the
butt number 9 close but no cigar
Mirror’s Edge
this game is all about speed and
precision owning a pirated copy
encourages some honesty to illegal
copies of Mirror’s Edge contain an
intentional bug in the game where our
protagonist faith will slow down before
making big leaps across buildings it’s
almost as if she’s having second
thoughts on her career path as a courier
think you can just chance your jumps or
find another way around that chance
maximum speed is crucial for quite a
number of jumps if you want to progress
making this game basically unbeatable if
you pirated it number eight brutal
spitefulness earthbound
if doom has a ultra nightmare difficulty
we cannot describe what earthbound has
in store for pirates cracked copies are
bugged with a near impossible difficulty
curve where it doesn’t matter how good
you are at the game because it will make
sure you never finish the moment you
start playing the number of enemies
you’ll encounter increases to observe
levels even in the areas that shouldn’t
have them if you somehow managed to make
it to the end and who knows how you
found the time to trudge through all
those battles right at the climax of the
story the game will freeze and force you
to reset what you’ll come back to will
be all your save files deleted that is
brutal numbers have it cheaters
purgatory Dark Souls 2
one franchise that fallen victim to
frequent cheaters is from software’s
soul series as if the game wasn’t brutal
enough cheaters have been known to
invade other players games and kill off
their characters with status afflicting
weapons now cheating technically isn’t a
crime just yet but that doesn’t mean we
can’t treat it as such within the
context of the game many games have what
they call prison servers and Dark Souls
to follow suit of that however there is
a twist Bandai Namco will let you keep
your crummy game breaking weapons but
the only people you can encounter
innovations are other cheaters
this is either a prison or your own
private hell but whatever you deserved
it number six halting progress the Talos
principle all across this land I have
created trials for you to overcome and
within each I have hidden a sigil
Croteam strikes again in this puzzle
game about an Android on a quest to
enlightenment between maze running and
locating sigil pieces you’ll enjoy the
phenomenal high-speed thrill of elevator
rides which serve as points of relief
and loading screens between stages you
have proven yourself worthy child and
this gate shall be forever open to you
pirates beware because Croteam is just
as cruel as our irritating arachnoid
friend cracked copies are equipped with
a trap at some point during one of the
elevator rides the elevator will stop
with no chance of escape as usual
pirates took to the forums and tried to
make it sound like legit coffees we’re
getting the bug nice try guys but you
basically just admitted it it’s a
feature and it seems squarely at pirate
number 5
lack of abilities Batman Arkham Asylum
really I don’t mind walking
ah before we found the assortment of
bugs in Batman Arkham Knight we got to
experience an anti-piracy bug in the
first game of the Arkham series back in
2009 okay why don’t you trust me early
on in the game you take out a room of
enemies and then you must perform a
glide in order to avoid some poison gas
for pirates this challenge is too damn
hard since the ability to glide is
non-existent upon discovering this one
pirate made the idiotic mistake of
revealing himself by going on to the
message boards and asking about what he
thought was a bug the answer he got was
a simple phrase that fits with the
entire list it’s not a bug in the game’s
code
it’s a bug in your moral code we heard a
little girl got seriously burned ah
number 4 drunken cameraman Grand Theft
Auto for what the Matthew Kazon wha what
about me oh we’ve seen some pretty good
ideas so far but you can always count on
the classic glitch of wonky controls and
most notably an incredibly drunken
cameraman
what you get here is camera work worse
than that of a typical action movie just
watching this footage alone it’s easy
for you to get nauseated and disoriented
to make matters worse vehicles will
start smoking as soon as you hop in and
will only be able to be driven in one
direction just like our friends at
Batman Arkham Asylum pirates went online
to ask the developers about the bug when
will they learn so so so you full of
crap a lot what number three chicken
ammunition Crysis warhead
as a badass soldier all you want to do
is unload bullets into your soon-to-be
swiss-cheese enemies but you know what’s
even better shooting chickens that do
absolutely no damage that’s what
not to worry pirates Crysis warhead is
still technically beatable in this
condition but like earthbound you’re
gonna end up pulling your hair out in
the time it takes to beat it and how
many times you will most likely die
progress will only be achieved here if
you put up your dukes and punch your way
out that sounds fun number two bad
graphics this is for one of the most
hilarious parts of the sims is through
its self-censorship if a sim chooses to
use the toilet or the shower their body
will be heavily pixelated but have you
ever found a glitch where the pixelation
never goes away well congratulations you
scummy pirate you have illegally
downloaded the sims for now witness as
your game gradually transforms into a
large master piece of abstract pixel art
the only way to fix it well there isn’t
dummy so it makes it very hard to play
and figure out what the hell your sins
are doing what makes this worse is that
players tried reporting this as a bug in
legitimate copies before it was proven
otherwise hey this has happened a lot by
this point have they not learned ah but
I’m sure me before we cheat our way to
our topic here a few honorable mentions
first select all of the men by left
clicking and holding down the mouse in
this mode you can drag a selection box
around all of the way
number one your game gets pirated game
dev tycoon you ever wondered what the
definition of irony was well look no
further than game dev tycoon a business
simulator that lets you run your very
own game studio you learn how to deal
with fan feedback critic reviews and
managing the costs on projects and
contracts should you not want to chip in
the insanely cheap ten dollars for a
real copy of game dev tycoon in game
your Studios game gets pirated and if
that happens your studio goes bankrupt
and shut down the real kicker some
pirates dare to ask if it was possible
to include copy-protection
on their in-game product and to them we
say celebrity 3 you do you agree with
our list which games do you think have
the best anti-piracy or cheating methods
no what do you mean no no I never tell
you anything for more nuts oh illegally
