There are a lot of easter eggs today. In games now-a-days, it is a must for devs to put an easter egg to make the player laugh or ponder what they gave us. From easter eggs that made us laugh to easter eggs that brought a smile to our faces, Hello Wandering Traveler and welcome to this top 10 easter eggs in today's games!
10. Vault-Tec in UAC Labs (Doom 4)
You are probably wondering where I found this easter egg. Well, all you gotta do is go to the very first level where you kill your first Gore Fountain. When you kill all the Imps to move on, the main vault-like door will slowly open (Shouldn't be new to you if you already played it). Before it opens, look at the bottom left of the door and you will see this easter egg to be left to wonder if Fallout and Doom are in the same universe or it's just the Devs having fun.
9. The Horde with Anubis (Overwatch)
There are lots of easter eggs in Overwatch, from familiar looking Arcade Cabinets to an "Alien" Ramon Noodle shop, but this one stands up from them all and they're all in front of our faces! In the Anubis map, you will find Horde symbols in the engravings of the temple. Most believe that in this world, the Horde found the Egyptians and showed them how to build their temples. But that's just a theory going around. But can someone explain where this came from...?
8. Zombie Koopas in Mushroom Kingdom (Dying Light)
I haven't found this easter egg myself, but when I found it in the web, many people thought this is one of the bests. To find this, you must go to the town and out of the slums. Once you do that, find a chimney on a high building and you will find a familiar green pipe poking out that you can interact with.
Once you enter the pipe, you will be entered into the first level of the first Super Mario. What makes this even more awesome is that they were allowed to use the Mario Theme in this easter egg! What they replaced with the Koopas were small models of the Zombies in Harran. What makes this even greater is that the zombies here die when you jump on their heads! What else can you do to make us older players laugh?
7. Where Everybody Knows Your Name (Fallout 4)
There are so many easter eggs in Fallout to name, but the one that made all the older players laugh and get nostalgia. If you go to the area where you fight the Swan Boat Super Mutant, go to one of the builds in that area and try to find a downstairs pub. You open a door and enter the cheers bar where you will find everyone from the original show as skeletons. Man, it's been a long while since my dad showed me the show. I need to watch it again.
6. Und Und! Ja Ja! (Wolfenstein: The New Order)
There are a lot of familiar stuff in this Wolfenstein game, but the one that caught main eyes was the album "Und Und! Ja Ja!" If you if you don't get it, it's a Beatles song turned German. Well, more like Nazi. Once you find you are allowed to listen to it, you are given a Beatles Parody song. I don't speak German, so if anyone knows what it means, please tell me.
5. I Use to be Doomguy Like You, but Then I Took an Arrow to the Knee (Doom 4)
Another Doom easter egg. This one is one of the best and more humorous one in the game. If you go to hell for the first time, you will find a small cave and a pillar in the middle of it. Once you find it, behind the pillar is a dead ancient corpse with a familiar helm and an iron arrow in his knee. I wonder what he was before he died...
4. Andrew Ryan is Rapture's Walt Disney (Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea)
Many people saw some similarities in Rapture's Owner, Andrew Ryan, with the happiest guy in the world, Walt Disney. People saw this statue in the game and thought of the iconic statue of Walt holding Mickey's hand. If you know the legends of Walt and his head being frozen and led to believe had the best technology, then you might have laughed at this and moved on.
3. Jaws (Fallout 4)
If you thought being in water was the key to being attacked by a shark, then you probably know probably didn't want to get back in virtual water when you saw this easter egg. This was a good laugh in my end, since I saw Jaws not too long ago.
2. DoomGuy Classic (Doom 4)
I've been making a lot of Doom entries on this list, but there are a lot of them that catch everyone's eyes. This one is hard to make happen, because it seems like you need to explode into bits to make this happen. If you play one of the classic levels and explode into bit, you might see the original Doomguy face in your helmet. It took me a while to make happen. Basically taking up half my day to do it. Tell me if you could it? How many times were you able to do it?
1. The Secret Levels (Homefront: The Revolution)
I use to play Time Splitters when I was little and when I found this easter egg in Homefront: The Revolution, I almost wanted to buy a Gamecube and/or Xbox just so I can buy this game. You activate this easter egg when you enter a bar. You ignore the objective and go upstairs to find an arcade cabinet. When you do so, you are allowed to play the first 2 levels of the original Demo of the game. Kind of sucks how this game is fun, but has many things wrong with it. I hope this game comes over.
What easter eggs did I miss? Are there ones that you hoped would be on this list? You can tell me, but 'til next time...
