Summary

  • One player discovered a hilarious meta-joke in Terminator: Resistance involving a bombed-out door that won’t open.
  • The player found a note from a scavenger suggesting something behind the door could end the war against Skynet, unlocking an achievement upon opening it.
  • The discovery sparked a community discussion about how video games use odd, minor obstructions to guide players onto different paths.

A gamer playing Terminator: Resistance has spotted an amusing meta-joke within the game – a damaged door that refuses to open, even though it’s been bombed out – mirroring numerous instances in video games where a seemingly insignificant barrier like a closed door hinders players from exploring certain areas. This discovery by the Terminator: Resistance player has ignited discussions within the gaming community about the quirks and peculiarities, such as minor obstacles that steer players onto alternate routes, inherent in video game design.

The “Resistance” game, an interesting spin-off within the “Terminator” series, garnered mixed reviews upon its release, with some calling it the best or worst game in the franchise. It provides a first-person shooter experience, set 30 years post-Judgment Day, allowing players to assume the role of a resistance soldier under John Connor’s command. Notably, there’s also an additional mode that lets players play as a Terminator. Over time, the game has amassed a loyal fanbase and currently boasts a “Very Positive” rating on Steam. Now, fans are having a laugh over a peculiar aspect in the game.

On Reddit, a gamer named Lost_house_keys posted a screenshot from the game Terminator: Resistance featuring a heavily fortified door with the toughest lock. Surprisingly, the door has been destroyed and can be circumvented by walking around it on either side, rendering its barrier pointless. To add to the humor, the player discovered a message left by a scavenger nearby suggesting that something critical lay behind the door—something potentially ending the war against Skynet in Terminator. Additionally, the player noted that upon successfully opening the door, they were rewarded an achievement.

Opening Terminator: Resistance’s Bombed-Out Door Unlocks Achievement

As I delved into the gritty world of Terminator: Resistance, I stumbled upon instances that ignited a lively debate among gamers regarding the inclusion of minor hindrances in video games to block access to specific zones. These obstacles, such as doors that seemed too tough to crack or rubble that couldn’t be jumped over, often led to intense battles with swarms of Terminators instead. A fellow gamer reminisced about similar predicaments in other titles, like the time we were forced to confront four bosses in Dark Souls 2 due to an inability to bypass some rubble and skip the fight. While some gamers view these challenges as essential for guiding us through a level, others argue they’re outdated design choices that could benefit from being revised.

Despite ongoing discussions among gamers about doors and in-game barriers, enthusiasts of the Terminator franchise can anticipate the upcoming “Terminator 2D: No Fate,” scheduled for release on September 5. This game harks back to the ’90s arcade era, drawing inspiration from “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” and will be accessible on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
