To take a shit is now a game mechanic?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 13 points 10 months ago (3 children)

In Duke Nukem 3D you could take a crap in the bathroom, and that game is from 1996.

Duke also poops a poop in an aliens neck after ripping the head off!

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 7 points 10 months ago

Truly a game ahead of its time

3D

It shows up as 2D on my monitor.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can move in 3D space, as opposed to the previous games, which were side scrollers.

Zero hour

Takes longer than zero hours.

Duke only pissed; on the first level you could find an alien taking a dump tho

Well, the problem is clearly that it is not.
(In case you are actually confused "duty calls" or "I hear the call of duty" (or "I hear the call of nature") can mean the speaker needs to take a shit.)

"Call of doody"

Also, anon could be referring to the fact that soldiers on the field tend to dig holes to shit if there is no toilet available. Call of duty being a military based game could have had shitting mechanics like how actual soldiers in the field do.

Kingdom Come 1 promised this as a mechanic but then didn't implement it. There are still toilets but you can only read books on them.

I remember in ARK you would periodically shit a sphere. I forget what it can be used for though. It is definitely a game mechanic :)

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

In this game there is a full optional nutritional/metabolic tracking mechanic, where you can leverage taking poops and use it to distract enemies, attract predators, or weaponize them to get other players in-game diseases

It is in the Sims. Including "The Sims Bustin' Out" which is an RPG.
