You should finish the quiz first though....
Hidetaka Miyazaki's action role-playing masterpiece, Dark Souls, lets players summon real people to help overcome its gruelling challenges.
What inspired Miyazaki to develop this feature?
Right! You're pretty good at this, eh? In Miyazaki's own words:
"_You could probably call it a connection of mutual assistance between transient people. Oddly, that incident will probably linger in my heart for a long time. Simply because it's fleeting, I think it stays with you a lot longer... like the cherry blossoms we Japanese love so much._"
Nope! Miyazaki's inspiration actually came from his car getting stuck. In his own words:
"_You could probably call it a connection of mutual assistance between transient people. Oddly, that incident will probably linger in my heart for a long time. Simply because it's fleeting, I think it stays with you a lot longer... like the cherry blossoms we Japanese love so much._"
Which of these games provoked an outcry from the Royal British Legion for supposedly disrespecting war veterans?
That's right. The game courted controversy with its satirical depiction of the senselessness of war.
After seeing a version of the game's cover featuring a large red poppy, a British tabloid newspaper ran a story with the headline "Poppy game insult to our war dead".

Negative. The answer we were looking for was Cannon Fodder.

"_I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee._"
This much-ridiculed line of dialogue spawned a popular meme after featuring in which game?
You got it. You're clearly a hardened adventurer. It'd take more than an arrow in the knee to stop you!
Since you're already familiar with the original, here's a bonus parody for you.
Wrong answer, adventurer.
The gory fighting franchise Mortal Kombat features stunningly violent finishing moves called Fatalities. But executing a Fatality was just one way to finish a duel.
Which of the following options was NOT possible?
Yup. I feel like this one was easy. I mean, how do you kill somebody by arriving on time?
Nope! Animality and Babality were both possible ways to finish off an opponent.
Rockstar Games are known for their open-world blockbuster franchises Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. But before they were Rockstar, the studio went by the name DMA.
What did DMA stand for?
Well done. The name was taken from nearby Amiga programming manuals. You really are a geek (or you beat the 1/3 odds, which is also quite probable).
Here's the logo getting run over in the original Grand Theft Auto.
Not the right answer, but this was tricky. The studio was originally based in Dundee, and somebody from the studio once lied to a journalist saying DMA "_Doesn't Mean Anything_".
