Join us as we count down the weirdest tricks of 2023.
Video games are still surprising us in 2023. While video games are becoming more corporate and controlled, players are still finding new ways to explore their favorite games – and many of the biggest games of 2023 rewarded us for exploring. We’re not just talking about glitches and exploits here, we’re also talking about unbelievable and awesome secrets we learned while digging deep. Some of these tricks are intended, some are not, but they’re all extremely weird.
We can’t even begin to scratch the surface of all the weird tricks in Starfield. But, Starfield is just too big and too buggy to ignore. And the Ship Builder function, which allows you to customize and create a totally unique ship to fly in space, has some of the funniest (and weirdest tricks) we’ve seen in a very long time.
First is a trick you’ve probably seen before. If you build a ship shaped like a donut in the Ship Builder, enemy ships will always aim for the center of mass while in space. If there’s nothing to hit in the center of your ship, their missiles and kinetic weapons will fly right through your ship. Seeing it in action, we can’t believe this trick actually works. And bonus points for players that discovered another incredibly useful space-flight trick. If you’re in the middle of combat in space and your shields are low, you can stand up from your cockpit for a breather. Seriously, all the enemy ships will take a break and stop shooting at you. Wait for your shields to recharge and jump back in.
These are two of our favorites, but we also love the ability to steal items from vendors by searching the game world for their hidden caches. The containers with all the vendor stuff are usually locked beneath the floor, where you normally can’t access – but clever players can use the cheat console or other glitchy means to reach where you’re not supposed to be. And while we’re talking about stealing, we also love using physics objects to nudge stuff we want to steal somewhere else. See a cool gun on display you want to steal? Nudge it to a private room where you can steal it without anyone seeing.
Resident Evil 4 Remake lovingly recreates one of the best games ever made and turns one of our favorite rare healing items into the game’s deadliest weapon. Why buy a Rocket Launcher when you can throw an egg to kill one of the most annoying bosses in the game so much faster.
The ruler of the castle, Salazar is allergic to eggs. During his boss fight at the end of Act 2, you can rapidly drain his health with rare Gold Eggs – one of which you can find in his throne room. Gold Eggs deal about 70% damage to Salazar, who is a much beefier boss than his original counterpart. The remake really
