Like Mulder in The X-Files, we want to believe.

It’s a mystery!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take the example of GTA 5, a game that has been explored from top to bottom over the last eleven years and whose fans know every nook and cranny. Well, more or less, because there is still a point where everything turns into theory: the mystery of the mural on Mount Chiliad<\/strong>. It even has a subreddit with more than 44,000 people trying to uncover the truth about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that, as one of Rockstar’s former employees, Ben Hinchliffe, just said, the idea was simply to play with everyone’s expectations: “Obviously, we always want to put those really complex easter eggs that we want very dedicated players to follow until they solve them. But like with all easter eggs, sometimes you just put them in to mess with people<\/strong>. They don’t do anything. You just want to drive people a little crazy.”<\/em> And as an example, he indeed mentioned… the Mount Chiliad mural. There you go, mystery solved: there was no mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n
