You can't believe everything you read online or even back in the days of the printed word and some of these elaborate lies are still widely believed today. For this list, we'll be investigating some of the most wildly ridiculous lies in gaming that for some reason everyone fell for no matter how outlandish. In this video we're going full Sherlock to break down the rumors of Ratman in GTAIV, the nude code in Tomb Raider, undoing one of the most tragic moments of our childhood as we attempted to resurrect Aerith in Final Fantasy 7, as well as many more we can't believe we actually fell for.
