But it didn't take too long for games to take advantage of increasing disk size and grow so big that they took as long to load from the hard disk as their ancestors did from floppies. Computer gamers of the 1980s learned to loathe the slow-as-molasses tape and floppy disk drives of the era, and cheered when they were replaced by the much faster hard disks.
This is something of a cyclic trope because of technology changes. However, those aren't the subject of this trope this trope is about games that take too damn long to load, and do so not just at startup, but the entire time you're playing. How we loathe them, and yet how common they are. Other highlights include one that allows your cat to wear glasses, one that turns the loading screen into Nyan Cat, and one that makes the cat slightly fatter."Whensoever games are loaded off disk, whether that be a floppy, a hard drive, or some kind of Blu-ray thing, there will be games that take longer to load than to play."Īh, Loading Screens. I personally love that most of the mods for the game on Nexus are reskins of the protagonist so that gamers can play with a cat that looks like their own. While the JASON mod is easily the most ridiculous we’ve seen of the Stray mods, it’s only one of many. Kudos to you, Gibrietas, for dedicating yourself to that level of detail. Not only that, but you’re also gonna be yelling “Jason” in various tones and inflections, as is true to Heavy Rain. Now I guess I need to buy the PC version of this game too so I can mod it, because the idea of running around a dystopian cyberpunk city as a cat yelling “Jason” at everyone seems like a pretty awesome way to get to experience the game. Modder Gibrietas took one look at that button and knew what they had to do - mod Stray so that instead of meowing, your cat yells “Jason” ( originally spotted by IGN). Because you’re playing as a cat, there’s even a whole button dedicated to meowing… oh wait, I see where they’re going with this.
It became a classic meme pretty much overnight, and cemented Heavy Rain‘s place as one of the most notorious games of all time.įast forward to 2022, and Stray is winning the hearts of gamers everywhere with its adorable, fuzzy protagonist. Long after the conversations about David Cage’s infamous 2010 game Heavy Rain have faded away, one meme lives on in a single word: “Jason!” For those who may be blissfully unaware, in the game, there’s a moment where the player has to hit X to yell for their missing son Jason.
