One of the biggest and most fun things about open world games is looking around said open worlds to find Easter Eggs left in there by creators. They often leave things for gamers to find and see if they’re paying attention. Insomniac just released their Spider-Man came for PS4 and it’s chalk full of Easter Eggs. But one in particular came off as heartwarming, as someone put in a marriage proposal, and now, we know who it is…and it didn’t go well for him.
His name was Tyler Schultz, and he asked Insomniac to put a marriage proposal to his girl in the game, and they did it! But that’s where the good news ended for him as he mentioned on Youtube:
“Where do I start this?” Tyler began, before thanking Insomniac for creating the game. “I love this girl, we’ve been together for about five years. I think the time is ready that I want to take that next step.”
“The thing that sucks about this Easter egg is the date that I’m making this video now, three, four weeks ago, my girlfriend dumped me to go with my brother. Basically throwing away the five years that we had together and spitting in my face basically, saying this isn’t even the way she wanted to be proposed to, and left me. This might go down in history as the saddest Easter egg. Maybe, I don’t know.”
He’s not wrong, this may go down as the saddest Easter Egg in history. It would have been one thing for her to say “no”, as that happens. But to leave him and go date his brother? That’s a cold move, and it’ll make Thanksgiving incredibly awkward!
So to those who might want to make their own marriage proposals in video games, learn from Tyler’s experience with Spider-Man…sometimes it just doesn’t work out.
