If you're from the golden generation who witnessed the PlayStation 2 era, you may have fallen prey to this sarcastic game, even if you didn't know it until today.
We are used to seeing sarcastic and bizarre allusions in video games, so it is no wonder that we see this in entertainment that has now become number 1 among other entertainment.
We often get hints within many games that refer to things that may be related to our everyday life, or a hint of events in another game or a character from another game and so on, but what about the game that makes fun of you and before you even play it.
The Bard's Tale, which was released on the PlayStation 2, had a satirical farce written on the surface of the game disc. As you can see in the image above, the words “If you want to see a really disturbing image… turn the dial“
When you spin the disc, you will only see your mirror image on the surface of the shiny disc, which appears distorted by inconsistent reflections. In other words, the game wants to tell you that you are ugly, but in a fun and misleading way at the same time.
A very sarcastic play on a video game, but many players may not have noticed this line or understood its intent at the time.
Bard's Tale is a role-playing video game developed and published by inXile Entertainment released on the PlayStation 2 in 2004. The game was marketed as a fun parody of role-playing games, and it's no wonder that you're the first victim of this game as it mocks you before you even play it.
The PlayStation 2 is the most successful video game console not only within the PlayStation family, but also among all home platforms, perhaps to this day. Where the device had a huge fan base at that time and managed to sell more than 155 million units by the beginning of 2013.
