9 video game secrets that were almost never found

GR writes: "Remember when your family used to get together for the big Easter Egg hunt every year? Do you recall sprinting around the house multiple times looking for every last colorful egg, hoping to get the sweet candy or fresh dollar bill inside? Wasn’t there always one egg that no one could ever find, until Grandpa fished it out from under his hat and laughed at the mean trick he pulled on everyone? These nine video game secrets all came from Grandpa’s hat.

Some of them were eventually discovered by players after many years of hiding, others had to be revealed to us by the people who made them.

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
