The Computer Is a Lying Bastard	comment	A Sub-Trope of Guide Dang It!, where the game itself - through NPC advice, tutorials, in-game hints, etc. - tells you how to proceed, but their advice is either substandard (better ways are available at that point) or an outright lie (and not for plot based reasons, either). This is often due to a bad translating job, or faulty programming, where what the developers intended doesn't line up with what is actually said, or if during development a gameplay feature is altered/removed and someone forgot to update the accompanying information. Sometimes the lies are meant to invoke Fake Difficulty. Usually, it's just a common symptom for when a game gets a metagame. When there are several ways for scissors to cut rock that the developers didn't anticipate, the Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors tutorial isn't going to have the best advice. See also The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard, Moon Logic Puzzle (where the answers are there, but the logic isn't), Manual Misprint (for when the faulty information is in the instruction manual or strategy guide), and Tutorial Failure (when a tutorial offers false or misleading information.) For a similar trope in other media, see Unreliable Narrator. When the computer intentionally misleads the player, one may be dealing with a Trickster Game.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_178c5235	comment	In Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale: The price ranges suggested by your loan officer partner are too high to be properly strategic. Whether this is simply poor advice informed by the experiences of a loan shark who's never tried lowering prices before, or deliberate bad advice from the game designers overriding her sensible characterization to force player creativity/frustration? You be the judge. While Tear's advice is useful for obtaining the most money from a sold item (or paying as little as possible for a purchased item), Recette and the shoppers gain more experience for deals that are lower than the most they'll pay. For example, you might be able to sell an item for 120% its base cost, but selling it for 107% will net bonus XP for the player and the customer. For the player, this means a number of useful new options. For the customer, this means they'll have more money, and thus be able to make bigger purchases. Tear's advice will get you more money in the short term, but offering better deals will pay off in the long term. Exploring dungeons is offered as an alternate way to get items to sell in the store. While this is true, you can make a much larger profit (outside of New Game Plus anyway) by simply buying wholesale in town and manning the store.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_1adee40d	comment	In The World Ends with You, it is repeatedly claimed that the events of Another Day are completely separate from the events of the main storyline. This is only true in the extremely pedantic sense that they do, in fact, take place in an Alternate Universe — in a setting where travel between universes is explicitly possible. The main universe Joshua appears, both Hanekomas are there, and a few characters are aware of this — alternate Hanekoma is searching for main Hanekoma to arrest him for Necessarily Evil actions committed in the main storyline; main Hanekoma is hiding in the Bonus Dungeon specifically to avoid this, and fights alternate Neku as a Superboss because he wanted to fight main Neku but couldn't risk interfering with the game. Given the timing of these messages some of them almost feel like a Suspiciously Specific Denial.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_1c1ceec7	comment	Monster Hunter: The weapons' attack stats are notoriously unreliable. To make a long story short: Traditionally, the displayed attack values of weapons are actually their "true attack" values (not shown in-game) multiplied by arbitrary values specific to each weapon class (also not shown in-game), and thus are not actually used in damage calculations. Monster Hunter Generations fixes this by just showing each weapon's true attack power and as such all weapons of a given rarity are roughly equal in terms of on-screen attack stats, so while you still need to figure out each attack's "motion value" (an attack-specific multiplier that is applied to your weapon's true attack), at least the game no longer tricks you into thinking that your "1000"-attack Hammer inflicts way more damage per second than weapons of different classes in the same tier. In Monster Hunter: World, partway through the second battle with Zorah Magdaros, the hunt will be interrupted by the appearance of Nergigante. The NPCs will heavily stress that you need to drop everything and go confront Nergigante to drive it off. This isn't really the case. In truth, Nergigante's presence is on a hidden timer, retreating once it runs out, which means the player can safely ignore it and it'll eventually leave on its own. The game seems to acknowledge this with the Arch-Tempered version of Zorah, where Nergigante actually needs to be manually repelled.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_1f630f72	comment	Dark Souls III describes Poise as "The ability to withstand attacks without breaking form", which is a pretty severe overstatement. Only certain attacks with a relatively small number of weapon (you'll have to look up or guess which) are at all capable of taking hits without being interrupted. Poise makes those attacks even harder to interrupt, but has no effect on other attacks or any other kind of action.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_2acb12c5	comment	X: With one exception, every time X3: Terran Conflict tells you you need to board a ship with marines during a plot mission, it's lying. The first boarding target will be given to you for free if you wait a while, the second one will get boarded by NPCs if you wait a while and the third time you can just eject in your spacesuit and claim the target like an abandoned ship. This is significant, as training marines to the point where they could actually capture anything is a very expensive and time-consuming process, far beyond the scope of anything in the campaign missions. The one exception is the Orca you have to capture during the HQ plot. That one actually does require you to board it. To a lesser extent, the way how fighter drones work in the X3 trilogy, the information states that only TS and TM-class freighters can carry fighter drones and is made evident in gameplay with these ships offloading them when they're under attack by hostile ships. Yet this information doesn't hold water and omits the capability of other ships to carry these drones; fighter drones can actually be carried by ships of any size as long as they're capable of carrying cargo that is higher than S-class. In other words, a ship ranging from a small interceptor to a big destroyer can carry them as long as they have space in their hold. This makes fighter drones Disc One Nukes in some sort.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_2ffcbd43	comment	Fire Emblem games from the GBA titles onward use a somewhat tweaked RNG that does this. The game rolls the random number used to determine attack rolls twice, then averages the two results—meaning that, essentially, accuracy increases or lowers at an exponential rate as you get further from 50% in either direction. The game tells you an attack has an 80% chance to hit, but the odds are actually closer to 92%. This is a rare case where the computer lying to the player tends to make them think it's being more truthful, given how bad people can be when weighing the odds in their heads. Switching to older games that don't do this often provokes bafflement or accusations of cheating, because an 80%-accurate attack missing one in five times tends to just feel "wrong" to people.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_30940081	comment	Missions in Grand Theft Auto V are very tightly scripted, so that going against the on-screen prompts will always result in a game over. Any choices the player can make will be spelled out on the spot. The one, critical exception to this rule is "Unknowing the Truth," the final mission of the Epsilon Program sidequest (and discovering how to join the Epsilon Program, as Michael, is a Guide Dang It! on its own). The game instructs you to drive a car full of cash to Cris Formage's helicopter, and if you do, you'll receive...a tractor. In order to actually get any money out of the sidequest (namely, more than two million dollars), you have to steal the car and kill/escape from the other cult members when they come after you. There's no indication that stealing the car is possible unless you count Michael idly wondering how much cash is in the trunk. In other words, "Unknowing the Truth" is the only mission where you're encouraged, rather than forbidden, to think outside the box.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_3de84fce	comment	In World of Warcraft: You will sometimes find errors in the quest map tracking encouraging you to search a specific location when your target can only spawn in another place, such as "Legacy of the Ancient" where Loruk the Ancient will only appear if you cut lumber in the northernmost parts of Gorgrond while the map tracking will urge you to cut timber only in the middle parts of the map. Some quests will also give strategy that seems sound on the surface, but in practice will make execution difficult if not impossible to achieve. "Tarnished Bronze" in particular where you must assist Archmage Khagdar and the gnome-disguised bronze dragon Chromie fighting a rogue bronze dragon down. You will be asked to select a role between damage, tank or healer with Khagdar defaulting to tank and Chromie defaulting to healer if you select damage. The problem is that Khagdar does nothing to tank the adds and Chromie is a piss-poor healer so selecting damage is a suicidal choice if you're a damage dealer with little to no healing of your own. The recommended tactic is to select healer regardless of your actual group role, forcing Chromie into the damage role where she excels. Even as a paper-armored mage with no healing at all, the combined group damage is sufficient to easily win before accumulated damage becomes problematic.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_3fd6b9d5	comment	In Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, many NPC hints about obtaining important items were misleading or incorrect, and some were downright incomprehensible. As a Hand Wave, game manuals warned that some NPCs would try to "mislead" or "deceive" the player, requiring the player to determine (sometimes experimentally) which clues could or could not be trusted (some weren't possible to even follow in-game). Although many of these fake "hints" were in the Japanese version of the game as well, they were typically phrased in a way that indicated that they were just rumors; that nuance was Lost in Translation, which made the game much harder. Some genuine hints were also mangled so badly in the translation that they became inaccurate or even outright incoherent — infamously, a vital hint telling the player that if they take a red gem to Deborah Cliff, the wind will carry them away, somehow became a hint seemingly claiming that if they stand and do nothing by the cliff, a ghost carrying a red gem will appear.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_49a87cb3	comment	Final Fantasy VII: First-time players could find the first boss to be difficult as hell, because Cloud's message "Attack while its tail's up [and] it'll counterattack with its laser!" was split into two dialogue boxes with "and" omitted because the in-battle boxes have fairly limited space. This meant that players saw "Attack while its tail's up" for several seconds before seeing "it'll counterattack with its laser!". Since they already had "attack while tail is up" in their minds, many people interpreted it as "attack while its tail's up or else it'll counterattack with its laser", the exact opposite of the intended message, or just saw "Attack while its tail's up!" and attacked straight away. In context, the boss is similar to the Mist Dragon, the Wing Raptor and the Whelk as a tutorial of the ATB system, but with misleading instructions, it fails at that role. Getting a good score on the Junon parade minigame is also extremely annoying, because the NPCs tell you to sneak in from the back. Doing this is impossible and will result in Cloud getting bounced back while the ratings drop; instead, you need to run in from the front of the back row.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_53b30902	comment	Valkyria Chronicles: Following the in-game advice—move with caution, cover your advances, don't try to be Rambo, etc.—will ensure that you never receive a high mission rank and the extra rewards it offers; all the game tracks is how long you took. That is pretty good advice at the beginning, since the starting lineup is fairly weak and charging in headlong will get you killed in short order. Later on? Not so much. The mission briefing for Selvaria's Last Stand states that she will probably dodge head-on attacks, which is true, but then recommends you circumvent that by getting behind her. What the briefing doesn't tell you (and you have to remember from previous sorties where she's appeared) is that, as a Scout, her vision cone is Scout-standard 270°, so you must be almost directly behind her for that tactic to work on approach. She also turns toward any unit that hits her for a counter-attack, so unless you have a second unit or smoke, you aren't going to hit her with the same unit twice in a phase.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_56fa0ea4	comment	Some Civilization games say that one of the difficulties is the "balanced" difficulty where neither the computers or players get an advantage, but really the computer does cheat in some ways. In Civilization IV, the default and "most balanced" difficulty, Noble, actually gives the computer a slight advantage. The actual difficulty where stats are "balanced" is Warlord, 1 rank below. In Civilization V, the game's claim that Prince (level 4) is the balanced difficulty is, at best, only Metaphorically True. While it is true that on Prince the AI bonuses table doesn't give any bonuses or penalties to the AI, the game doesn't tell you that the AI is always, regardless of difficulty, considered as a Chieftain (level 2) player, and thus gets every bonus that the player gets on that difficulty, like more happiness and only 60% of all unhappiness. Which means, all other things equal, they can have a civilization double the size with more happiness than the player, and they'll make sure to rub it in your face.

However, there are a couple of errors in the guide text that can easily frustrate a player. One of them involves the game's magic, or "orbal arts" system. In these games, the arts are available based on the number of a particular element or elements (i.e. wind, fire, water, etc.) that a player has on a particular character installed through quartz on their orbments. For at least a couple of these arts, the number of the elements listed in the notebook is lower than what's actually needed, leaving the player confused as to why they don't have that art available even though they've installed enough of what the notebook says they should. Additionally, Trails in the Sky The 3rd includes an accessory called Sapphirl Neckklace which carries the same description as the Grail Locket item, "Protects against all status ailments (except KO)." However, Sapphirl Necklace actually protects against Stat Down, i.e. lowered defense, sped, strength, etc.

That was fine and dandy on the original version, where the defense node healed the CPU by a lot and the attack node had weak offense, but in the DS, it's the other way around, the defense node gives crap healing instead and the attack node obliterates you, so you need to go for the attack node instead. The line should have been changed (That, or they did left it on purpose to screw players of the original version, which was the mission statement of the DS remake).

Fortunately none of these items are required and none of them are especially useful in the first place. In the SNES and PS1 translations, an NPC in Narshe tells you that the Life 3 spell "automatically brings you back even if downed", which is essentially true, but it doesn't say anything about the fact that unlike the previous 2 spells, you're meant to cast it on a character before they get knocked out since it functions as a positive status effect and casting it on an already knocked out party member does nothing. The GBA translations onward fix this error by using the standardized spell names which calls the Life series Raise, Arise and Reraise and explaining its function more clearly.

Typically, two will be marked as being in the cave and two will be marked as being in the lab. On the good side on the trope, there are days on which Melissa will have a chance to raise affection with everyone, or at least the same subset of people, regardless of the option picked; this includes Joan, whose semi-Secret Character status results in her schedule not being shown. On the bad side of this trope, there are some love interests with whom a scene will be missed if the player relies entirely on the week planner: If Melissa has an online chat with Shoji during the second weekend and makes the choices that result in her finding out Shoji knows his way around older technology, extra affection can be gained with Shoji by calling upon him to look into a reluctant piece of slightly dated machinery on the following Wednesday. The reluctant piece of technology is in the lab, but Shoji needs to be grabbed from the cave. Because of this, the day planner makes it look like that the best bet in getting a scene with Shoji that day is going to the cave. One of Hendrik's events is triggered via discovering the atlatl training grounds while walking to the cave with Deandre and asking Hendrik about them. The week planner almost always marks Hendrik as being in the lab, including on that day.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_8da0ea80	comment	In the first generation, there is an NPC who trades you his Electrode for a Raichu. If you talk to him after the trade, he remarks "The Raichu you traded me went and evolved!". Raichu, of course, doesn't evolve, but this nonetheless spawned rumours about a secret third evolution of Pikachu (Pichu, Pikachu's pre-evolved form, was unknown at the time). It turns out this was simply a localization mistake - in the Japanese version of Pokémon Blue, the NPC trades you his Graveler for a Kadabra - both Pokémon that evolve by trading - and his line afterwards was meant to be a hint on how to obtain their final forms. The American Pokémon Red and Blue were actually the Japanese Pokémon Blue hacked to have the distributions of the Japanese Red and Green, which had the Raichu-for-Electrode trade. When localizing, they remembered to switch the trade back to Raichu and Electrode, but forgot to change the dialogue about the evolution.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_8f5a610b	comment	In Monster Hunter: World, partway through the second battle with Zorah Magdaros, the hunt will be interrupted by the appearance of Nergigante. The NPCs will heavily stress that you need to drop everything and go confront Nergigante to drive it off. This isn't really the case. In truth, Nergigante's presence is on a hidden timer, retreating once it runs out, which means the player can safely ignore it and it'll eventually leave on its own. The game seems to acknowledge this with the Arch-Tempered version of Zorah, where Nergigante actually needs to be manually repelled.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_924b6d63	comment	The first Gear boss in Xenogears tends to become a That One Boss to some people because of this: right before you fight it, you're given an option to upgrade your Gears for the first time, which is mandatory to do throughout the game since for the most part their stats aren't dependent on your level. However, since the maximum Fuel for the default parts and only upgrade the game offers you at this point are the same, the game will give you a pop-up message about the new parts being equal or worse than the ones you already have, even though the apparently minuscule increase of Attack they provide actually ends up increasing the Gears' damage by a lot at this point of the game: without the upgrades, you'll be lucky to be doing 2 digit damage to the boss, who has around 1500 HP and you have no means to heal your Gears this early in the game.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_92dd35df	comment	Command & Conquer: Red Alert has the penultimate Soviet mission "Capture The Chronosphere" that will end in failure if you complete all mission objectives as directed. "Winning" the mission requires failing it in a very specific way that the mission briefing doesn't hint at (destroying all enemy forces on the map) and which nobody would ever have known about if not for the Internet. This is intentional and the victory movie for that mission has the Soviet leadership bitching about how the mission failed. The Updated Re Release of the game fixes this and allows the player to capture the Chronosphere as intended, though it is still booby-trapped and destroyed by the Allies.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_93ef7a8c	comment	In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Doctor Mario is described on his trophy as "a tad slower" than Mario, then goes on to correctly note his projectile hits harder. You'd think this to mean that Doc is basically Mario but with slower speed to balance harder hitting, but this isn't the case - Doc is exactly the same speed as regular Mario. In fact, he has faster air speed, and in general, other differences could be described as less "Mario but slow and strong" and more "Mario but flat-out better." Given Melee's rather truncated development and that Doc was redesigned to be slower when he reappeared in 4, it's commonly guessed that he was intended to be slower but this was never executed for whatever reason.

Nonetheless, Yellow Version abridged an instance of somebody saying that Psychics feared only bugs and ghosts to only include bugs. (Of course, it's not like you'd even try to use Ghosts against Psychic-types anyways; the only ghost move that deals damage that isn't fixed is too weak to use. Also, it didn't help that the only Ghosts at the time were weak to Psychic anyway thanks to their secondary Poison type.) Because of a mistake in the game text, a man in the Great Marsh in Diamond and Pearl says that throwing bait and mud do the exact same thing. This was fixed in Platinum. In the first generation, there is an NPC who trades you his Electrode for a Raichu. If you talk to him after the trade, he remarks "The Raichu you traded me went and evolved!". Raichu, of course, doesn't evolve, but this nonetheless spawned rumours about a secret third evolution of Pikachu (Pichu, Pikachu's pre-evolved form, was unknown at the time). It turns out this was simply a localization mistake - in the Japanese version of Pokémon Blue, the NPC trades you his Graveler for a Kadabra - both Pokémon that evolve by trading - and his line afterwards was meant to be a hint on how to obtain their final forms. The American Pokémon Red and Blue were actually the Japanese Pokémon Blue hacked to have the distributions of the Japanese Red and Green, which had the Raichu-for-Electrode trade. When localizing, they remembered to switch the trade back to Raichu and Electrode, but forgot to change the dialogue about the evolution.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: In Final Fantasy II, the game tells you that Agility rises by being attacked in battle. The chance to gain Agility is actually based entirely on the character's Evasion percentage, and thus characters who wear heavy armor without a shield to compensate will very rarely gain Agility for no apparent reason. In the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV, when facing the CPU boss, Fusoya tells you to attack the defense node first instead of the attack node (but not both, or else the main CPU will spam a strong attack and then regenerate the nodes). That was fine and dandy on the original version, where the defense node healed the CPU by a lot and the attack node had weak offense, but in the DS, it's the other way around, the defense node gives crap healing instead and the attack node obliterates you, so you need to go for the attack node instead. The line should have been changed (That, or they did left it on purpose to screw players of the original version, which was the mission statement of the DS remake). Final Fantasy VI: There are some hidden items on the ground in the main room of Cave to the Sealed Gate, but when you pick them up, the game tells you you obtained something other than what you really got. Fortunately none of these items are required and none of them are especially useful in the first place. In the SNES and PS1 translations, an NPC in Narshe tells you that the Life 3 spell "automatically brings you back even if downed", which is essentially true, but it doesn't say anything about the fact that unlike the previous 2 spells, you're meant to cast it on a character before they get knocked out since it functions as a positive status effect and casting it on an already knocked out party member does nothing. The GBA translations onward fix this error by using the standardized spell names which calls the Life series Raise, Arise and Reraise and explaining its function more clearly. Final Fantasy VII: First-time players could find the first boss to be difficult as hell, because Cloud's message "Attack while its tail's up [and] it'll counterattack with its laser!" was split into two dialogue boxes with "and" omitted because the in-battle boxes have fairly limited space. This meant that players saw "Attack while its tail's up" for several seconds before seeing "it'll counterattack with its laser!". Since they already had "attack while tail is up" in their minds, many people interpreted it as "attack while its tail's up or else it'll counterattack with its laser", the exact opposite of the intended message, or just saw "Attack while its tail's up!" and attacked straight away. In context, the boss is similar to the Mist Dragon, the Wing Raptor and the Whelk as a tutorial of the ATB system, but with misleading instructions, it fails at that role. Getting a good score on the Junon parade minigame is also extremely annoying, because the NPCs tell you to sneak in from the back. Doing this is impossible and will result in Cloud getting bounced back while the ratings drop; instead, you need to run in from the front of the back row. Final Fantasy VIII has a few inaccurate Enemy Scan logs, such as claiming the Elite Ethsar Soldier "only uses physical attacks" when it is in fact capable of using magic. In Final Fantasy Tactics, Holy Sword abilities are described as Holy-element, except they actually take on whatever element the user's weapon is (with no element if the weapon lacks an element). The AI believes the description, which can make That One Boss much easier if you wear a Holy-absorbing robe in the battle against him.

The game tells you multiple times that it "only works once", which makes it seem Too Awesome to Use. However, the way the song actually works is that it can restore your health once per time you enter the dungeon. Simply leaving and coming back allows it to be played again, making it much more useful. In the Disorientation Station cave, you're supposed to go "north and north" to discover the treasure. At least one version of the game (sold in Europe) will however you tell to go "north, north, north". You can only go north twice, but the room in question looks perfectly normal otherwise, so instead of searching it for the hidden treasure, you're likely to instead assume you're in the wrong place, or supposed to find a way through the wall.

Once she gets near that point, however, enemy reinforcements spawn and the objective changes to defeating the units while preventing their commanders from reaching the point that was formerly Petra's destination. Worse, still, if Petra or Bernadetta die (possibly by being attacked by the reinforcements heading to the goal) you lose. The events in question also occur if you defeat all the enemies. Another from Three Houses: In part two of the Azure Moon route, the player army meets up with two other armies- those of the Alliance and Empire. The thing is, going into the battle it's heavily implied you can speak to the Alliance leader, Claude, and convince him to join your side. This is completely impossible in game, and Claude will actually attack any unit you bring to him. Even worse is that Claude himself will say to the player character if you confront them he doesn't want to fight them. Yes, even if he is the one to initiate the battle.

Since it's a straight up logic puzzle, it's impossible to solve if you follow the instructions at their word. The third game subtly lampshades this with the first puzzle challenge, where Layton's opponent places four aces face-down with a few rules attached to them (for example: "the heart is next to the diamond") and tells Layton to find the spade...except that the opponent never said "there is only one of each ace", making the puzzle unsolvable if taken strictly at its word, and the real test for Layton was noticing this.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_f9b9dfe4	comment	In the last chapter of the third part of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, you are told that the victory condition is to kill all the enemies. Observant players will also note a mysterious counter in the upper-right of the screen that goes up when any unit dies. The actual victory condition of this chapter is to let the counter reach 80, at which point the plot moves forward - the eponymous Fire Emblem, which is said to house a dark god, will unleash the god if mankind continues to war. The counter reaching 80 is the seal's breaking point.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_fab472d2	comment	Dark Souls: The description of the Tiny Being's Ring is completely wrong because of a translation error. It claims to grant health regeneration when equipped, but it actually grants a small increase to your maximum health instead. This was fixed in the Remastered version. An intentional example is the Pendant, another gift you can choose at the start of the game. Ever since the Japanese release of the game, the producers hinted about this starting gift being of great importance, but without revealing what it would be. After the international release, months spent on using the Pendant in literally everywhere and related boards on the internet working nonstop in every possible way to figure out this item's significance... It was an intended hoax. To sneak some salt in the wound, said reveal was made during the release of the DLC Artorias of the Abyss. Which revolves about an Eldritch Abomination frantically tearing up the space-time continuum to acquire an item key in accessing said DLC area, which is... a different pendant. The description for the Gargoyle's Halberd goes out of its way to emphasise that it's a "Perfectly standard bronze halberd without any special power." It's flat-out lying. Equipping it actually gives you a small but useful bonus to your bleed, poison and toxic resistances. However it does come across as somewhat of a Suspiciously Specific Denial since very few weapons, even plain ones like the Longsword, are so emphatic about their normalness, so it may just be attempting to bait you into experimenting with it. However the effect is extremely subtle and confusing so unless you know what it's doing you're quite likely to not even notice. You could even mistake it for causing a small buildup of those status effects, when that's actually just your normal levels adjusting to their new maximum.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_fcb6cd71	comment	Surviving Mars: the games states that the International Mars Mission is recommended for new players. And indeed it is in theory a very powerful sponsor: Zeus rockets can carry more, colonists never become Earthsick, food carried in passenger rockets is greatly increased, and rockets slowly synthesize fuel on Mars. However, it is so easy that you won't learn anything about how to correctly setup a profiting and self-sustainable colony without those bonuses. When you become used to the pacing and meta set by the IMM, switching to other sponsors, even those labeled as easy, might result in an initial failure because you took some bad moves that now have lasting consequences. Paradoxically, the IMM is best suited for experienced players that want to relax, and many community guides advice players to avoid it if they want to really learn how to play.

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard / int_fd8ef85e	comment	Left 4 Dead has numerous loading screen hints, most of them valid; however, the hint originally meant to explain the Tank's control mechanic (you lose control of the Tank if you don't do damage or maintain line of sight for long enough) encouraged players to rush directly in to do as much damage as possible, which in versus games against even marginally skilled players was a recipe for a dead Tank and probably a pissed off team. The message has since been amended to simply advise players of the risk of losing control.
