Seriously, no 'Until Dawn' in that list ? Group of kids, up in the mountain, for good fun. And then, creepy killer clown, crazy flamethrower guy, ghost chase, and ... oh yes, freaking WENDIGOS !
The himmapan hotel in hitman. It boasts being a 5-star hotel with a beautiful view but it's staff is very rude. some bellhop bumped into me with nary a word of apology and then a waiter ( who, thinking back, kind of looked like the bellhop) grabbed and choked me from behind and when I came to I was naked in a wardrobe. never did get those clothes back.
Did you wake up to find yourself awkwardly laying on top of a waitress? Which was doubly awkward because I'm pretty sure i woke her up by trying to climb off her... badly. I slipped and tried to catch myself… yeah.. no prizes for gentlemanly conduct there.
Terrible video game vacations? How about any innocent people caught in the crossfire of any of the Hitman contracts or James Bond chase sequences? Or even anyone attending the horizon festivals.
Man, I feel sorry for the islanders in any Just Cause game. One moment you’re relaxing on the beach, the next a cow with jets stuck to it blows past you and gets sand in your eyes.
@@Ckoz2829 That's a similar reason to why I mentioned the horizon festivals. Imagine crossing the street to the store to grab some lunch, only to get ran over by a 200mph life size hot wheels car.

The only time I’ve actually been camping was genuinely horrific. We kept hearing this gruff, old-smoker-man cough coming from this little close of trees at the back of the field we were in, and of course whoever it was didn’t reply when we shouted over to them. So me and a couple of the others crept over in the dark, waited for the cough, then turned our torches on and aimed it at the cougher... only to have dozens of pairs of eyes reflect the light back to us from the trees. Turns out sheep sound like humans when they cough. Wish I’d known that before.
Place was a deathtrap pre war and is even more so post war. From the many skipped safety precautions and nets to the really bad prize costs that rival a Claw Machine when your drunk. Although I guess it could be worse. Oh right Raiders, Mutants Rads, and Ghouls. Well at least all the rides are free now. And Also Free Nuka Cola
"Does this dirty tissue mean anything to you?" Me: That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in a puzzle game. "Hm, let me smell it." Me: ....I stand corrected.
Okay... "The type of comically inept cooks that don't exist in real life" I shouldn't mention the time when I tried to make chocolate and I instead, accidentally, made 1) Ice Cream 2) Icing 3) Cake 4) Cheese 5) Some sort of syrup... but never any chocolate.
'Okay Bailey, as per company policy, you have the option of either two weeks vacation on a war-torn remote island full of man-eating tigers and terrifying exotic diseases from which you may never return, or you spend the two weeks working as normal in your office here in Hackney, your choice.' '...' 'Bailey?' 'Hold on, I'm thinking...'
That's easy, the last seven games oxbox played. They seem to have a thing about 'no witnesses' even if the person they are moving down was nowhere near a crime scene.
I Expect You To Die is a recent-ish VR game where mission control repeatedly promises a first-class vacation, and the best part about the "vacation" is that you can close the window blinds and pretend the tanks outside don't exist so you can go back to eating your doughnuts while the bad guys wait for you to make the first move
Fun fact First time I went camping there was a small hurricane and when I woke up, my tent was in a tree, my sleeping bag was in a different tree and I was in a puddle, I slept through more that I probably should have
In final fantasy VII: crisis core Zack has the worst luck when it comes to vacations. In the main story while he hits the beach Cissnei spies on him when suddenly scuba Genesis soldiers attack. Subsequent 'vacation' missions get interrupted by more G soldiers, sea monsters and Dr.Hojo ending with something called the Sea Hulk, and the notice that Zach won't be granted any more vacation days.
Poor Spyro. All he wants to do is go to Dragon Shores, and suddenly he gets swept up and dragged into a dragon-free realm via an inter dimensional portal and can’t actually get to his well deserved vacation until after he defeats Ripto and completes literally everything that all the people in that world can’t do for themselves. At least he actually gets his vacation in the end, though. Can’t say the same for most of these folks.
that is a good point, though! the game makes a point of tricking you into thinking everything is fine (which you don't believe for a second, cause you played danganronpa 1) and the second your protagonist tries to relax, it all hits the fan.
Eric Hernandez I was thinking the same thing. Where's Jabberwock Island? (I mostly clicked on this vid hoping they would talk about everyone's favorite killer teddy and my favorite white haired hope enthusiast)
Skyrim. You're just a simple guy, visiting the northern provinces for the holliday, and next thing you know, you're a revolution leading, dragon eating werewolf, and all the gods want you as their champion. talk about rest...
Sooooo, we won't be getting a video titled "Outside Xbox Goes Camping: And That's How They All Died"? It'd be great. Andy can enjoy some scary stories, Ellen can meet the local spiders, Luke would wander off looking for pokemon, Mike can burn the woods down, and Jane could live on forever as the local legend no one ever sees twice.
Jane you should have camped with us back in the day. We have a huge tent and sleep on cots with air mattresses. We had a huge lantern and would play cards in the tent at night or when it rained. But I only ever remember cold weather once. I live in Texas, USA, and summer here Never gets cold.
What about Borderlands 2 and the Vault Hunter's vacation in Wam Bam Island? (Son of Crawmerax DLC) Sun, fun, and having to save your friend from a giant crustaceous monster.
The War Hero background in Mass Effect. It takes place before the game, but Commander Shepard is on Elysium for shore leave when the planet is attacked by slavers and mercenaries and s/he has to hold them off until the rest of the military arrives.
FINALLY! Someone acknowledges Let’s Go Jungle! I love that game! I just wish it was easier to find in arcades! Also, the compatibility screen was actually from the sequel: Let’s Go Island.
While not exactly on a vacation, what about Noctis in Final Fantasy XV? The poor guy (along with his friends) is on his way to his wedding in Altissa when the boats have stopped their service to later find his home is destroyed, his father is killed, a magical protective crystal has been stolen, Lunafreya is presumed dead and most likely he's now wanted by the Empire who intend on invading Lucis. On top of that he never even begun his honeymoon, talk about ruining a vacation before it had even started.
@@dindapriska Yep, what a great way to start anything. I did also forgot, now he's also technically the King so all those responsibilities are now dumped on him. And the group are then asked to look for food, frogs and dog tags by the first people they speak to!!! Yeah... I think I'll skip vacation, I've played enough games to know what goes down.
Zack Fair's vacations in Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII were a total nightmare...for his employers. Everytime some monsters or criminals showed up and Zack had to mercenary them away, Shinra Corp had to do the extra paperwork of sending him to a replacement vacation.
Fallout 4: Nuka World. Let's go to this cool Amusement Park that survived the bombings! Oh wait... Nuka Town is swarming with Raiders, the Safari Zone is full of deathclaw/alligator hybrids, the robots in the Galactic Zone are combat prepped and hostile, Dry Rock Gulch is full of tunnelers from 'Tremors', Kiddy Kingdom is a radioactive, ghoul infested nightmare and the 'World of Refreshment' is now home to Mirelurks that have infused with Nuka Cola Quantum. Hardly a 5/5 on Trip Advisor...
Star Ocean 3 starts off as a futuristic vacation on a resort planet where, in an oddly realistic twist, you spend more time playing computer games than enjoying the sun.

I was rewatching your play through of Red Dead Redemption's Stranger missions. This got me thinking that a video of NPCs who you are given a mission to help out, but despite your honest attempts to aid them. They fall into depression or squalor or in the most serious cases die, despite your character doing the best they could to aid them. IE: Sam Odessa from the California side mission in RDR. Thank you for the wonderful channel and the hours of entertainment you give to all your subscribers. God Bless you all. 😁
I think the most violent busman's holiday is Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise where you the player control Naughty Bear in order to murder a load of Teddy Bears
I would have thought a weekend in the Mountains a la Until Dawn might be a nice vacation. You know, where every single horror trope is out to get you, and then some? Or how about a nice fishing holiday like the start of Time Crisis 3? About twenty seconds fishing before you are sent guns blazing into combat? A cruise might be nice. A cruise on the S.S Anne in Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow(?) where every person you come across challenges you to a Pokemon battle in what seems like a massive free-for-all Pokemon brawl.
Mass Effect 3 Citadel Dlc, just trying to enjoy some shore leave before the world ends and suddenly I'm trying to steal my own ship back from my clone with my secretary's tooth brush!
Could you do a video about characters slowing walk to their destination despite how dire the situation was. I’m doing a side quest in mankind divided where I was investigating a possible copycat serial killing. However when Adam Jensen gets a cry for help from another possible victim the loading screen shows him calmly strolling down the subway track while looking at his hands. I know the trains aren’t in service but I didn’t get leg upgrades for nothing.
Angel Barrera In the new Spider-Man, when a super villain is wreaking havoc and you use the subway to fast travel, it shows Spider-Man playing with his phone on the train, lol.
One of my all time favorite games, star ocean: till the end of time, has you start out on a vacation planet, only to be forced to flee to a whole other planet due to a terrorist attack.
What about costa del sol from crisis core: final fantasy VII? The protagonist Zack get's time off there atleast 6 times and every time he gets attacked by monsters
In Champions Online the game gives achievements for a wide variety of things. Some of them give you stuff. One in particular is the kill 1000 of X enemy group perks. These give you accessories for character customization.
Bioshock. A nice plane ride to visit family turns into trip to underwater city filled with broken buildings, addictive citizens & overprotective murderbots, all while Atlas keeps whispering demands into your ear.
Another game that came to mind is spyro 2. He tries to go on vacation, but then gets brought to a new world where an evil dinosaur wizard (I guess) is taking over it.
The summer camp from Psychonauts. Kids trucked into attending a Psychonaut training camp under the guise of a summer camp. Oh and there's the psychic animals that can set you on fire. Andvthr evil camp counselor who wants your brain to make psychic war weapons
Silent Hill is a good example. Novelist and his young daughter are just visiting a town for a quiet getaway, ends up in a living nightmare where the fabric of reality is slowly crumbling away as monstrous animals and bugs begin appearing, all while the sky is either foggier than a morning after a heavy thunderstorm, or darker than the deepest ocean floors. Steambot Chronicles could also count, since the main character was basically visiting the game's location for a little R&R, only to end up having the ship he's on get blown up, winding up with amnesia, and targeted by numerous thugs and evil organization because they didn't bother to ID check the guy they were really after.
Personally, I wouldn't want to be Yu Narukami in the Persona 4 Arena series. He heads off to see his friends during golden week and the next thing he knows, he ends up in TWO fighting tournaments that decide the fate of the world.
That would also count as a vacation too, wouldn't it? What's worse? Facing (one of) the P4 antagonist(s) or Mystery Food X? Maybe just lump in all of the Personas together whenever you have to travel anywhere. P3 Kyoto trip anyone? (Or DAN for people like me with no coordination)
Evil Genius. You just want to relax in an island resort; but then you go out to work on your tan and nearly walk into an open shoot out. You try to find cover only to find yourself if a metal hallway full of death traps 2/5; don't go unless someone else is paying for it
Bad vacations : Peach's vacation in "Super Star Saga", Peach's vacation in "Paper Mario Thousand Year Door", Peach's vacation in "Dream Team", Basically any vacation Peach plans!!
Every time a rich person goes on vacation in the sleepy Italian fishing community of Sapienza, they die in a bizarre and mysterious accident. What’s worse, there’s always some bald bloke cackling manically to himself five feet away while changing outfits every few minutes. You’d think the Italian tourism industry would’ve collapsed by now from all the workplace health & safety lawsuits and general rudeness.
I generally bribe the bears with salmon to help me set up my camp site, sure some times they try and kill me, but once you kill on or two in front of the others they tend to fall in line, as an added bonus they're nice to have around on particularly cold nights, just don't forget to have them in a headlock when you go to sleep.
My bears have unionized - now every 10th fish must be a carp, sturgeon, or other large fish with a weight not less than 20 pounds, and they must be given at least one 30-minute break every 4 hours.
How about Alan Wake's get away to Bright Falls, of course it's your arrival that awakens the evil under the town.. and I bet the weather back home is better too.. *eyeroll*
No thanks. Between wolves, bears, mountain lions, big foot and poisonous snakes, no thanks. Also, I live near an Indian bural ground so going outside at night can be freaky.
A staycation watching Outside Xbox already sounds better than every holiday I've ever been on. And I went to Disneyland when I was a kid and didn't have to pay for it myself.
I have vaguely fond memories of camping as a kid, but my desire to go out into the woods and sleep in a tent with insects battering at the canvas has gone down quite a lot as I've gotten older, I must admit. Then again, most of these games are all about the dangers of tropical paradises. . .nobody tell me if they've made a horror game about Hershey Park yet. I liked that trip.
After doing everything else possible in the game Mass Effect 3, Shepard finally takes her/his shore leave before going to the illusive man’s base (do want Miranda at the party after all). Going out to a delicious dinner with Joker, Shepard ends up falling through the fish tank. No Medi-gel, low ammo and quite a walk through hostile enemies before finally finding a companion (your love interest if she/he’s a squad member, Samantha’s not) to help. You also get help from Wrex, if you didn’t kill him on Virmire or the Citadel (if you sabotage the cure) 🤣. And that’s just the first mission of shore leave
I always expect clowns to try to bomb me when I'm in Paris. The mimes are dodgy too. And what is wrong with that shop owner? "Hi stranger can I smell that rag you got there? Yup chloroform."
What no love for Bioshock? You're taking a graduation trip heading off on a grand adventure and it goes pear shaped as fast as you can say 'would you kindly'.
If you believe that cooking so bad it requires a courage stat check is impossible then clearly you didn't have the kind of housemates I did at university. After trying to teach one of them how to fry an egg we ended up having to throw away the pan.
At least Duke had some comical characters on his vacation. Some aliens look like Alf, but I guess that can be scarier than everything else he is fighting.
I take issue with your attitude on camping. Those problems are solved by the following: 1) Bring plenty of blankets 2) Have an air mattress or cot 3) Set up camp at a higher elevation and put up a tarp 4) Good campsites warn if bears have been sited in the area 5)You can set up proper showering and washing stations if you know how
Seriously, no 'Until Dawn' in that list ?

Mass Effect 3 DLC comes to mind as well. Shepherd he a kickass flat for you get some R&R in as long as your clone doesn’t try to kill you.
Yeah you go on shore leave and then you end up fighting your clone.
Totally deserves it for trying to vacation in the middle of the Reaper invasion.
I'm so happy you mentioned Let's Go Jungle! It's my favorite arcade game of all time!
I would have thought a weekend in the Mountains a la Until Dawn might be a nice vacation. You know, where every single horror trope is out to get you, and then some?
Or how about a nice fishing holiday like the start of Time Crisis 3? About twenty seconds fishing before you are sent guns blazing into combat?
A cruise might be nice. A cruise on the S.S Anne in Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow(?) where every person you come across challenges you to a Pokemon battle in what seems like a massive free-for-all Pokemon brawl.
Mass Effect 3 Citadel Dlc, just trying to enjoy some shore leave before the world ends and suddenly I'm trying to steal my own ship back from my clone with my secretary's tooth brush!
The second half was a pretty good holiday
You (well your Shepard) 9999999999999% deserves it for trying to take a vacation in the middle of a Reaper invasion.
Could you do a video about characters slowing walk to their destination despite how dire the situation was. I’m doing a side quest in mankind divided where I was investigating a possible copycat serial killing. However when Adam Jensen gets a cry for help from another possible victim the loading screen shows him calmly strolling down the subway track while looking at his hands. I know the trains aren’t in service but I didn’t get leg upgrades for nothing.
Angel Barrera
In the new Spider-Man, when a super villain is wreaking havoc and you use the subway to fast travel, it shows Spider-Man playing with his phone on the train, lol.
7 Video Games That Really Need The Rail Shooter Treatment.
I don’t even have to watch it but I know Dead island and far cry 3 are on this list
One of my all time favorite games, star ocean: till the end of time, has you start out on a vacation planet, only to be forced to flee to a whole other planet due to a terrorist attack.
In Until dawn they managed to fit in 2 horrible holidays. Most of them didn't make it to the end of the 2nd for me tho...
What about costa del sol from crisis core: final fantasy VII?
The protagonist Zack get's time off there atleast 6 times and every time he gets attacked by monsters
I have a suggestion for a video: X Achievements That Actually Do Something.
PGR 4's Buy an achievement, erm, achievement
Badass achievements from Borderlands were the first thing to come to mind when I read your comment
In Champions Online the game gives achievements for a wide variety of things. Some of them give you stuff. One in particular is the kill 1000 of X enemy group perks. These give you accessories for character customization.
Andy, that license covers _both_ bropeller and brotorcraft .
Bioshock. A nice plane ride to visit family turns into trip to underwater city filled with broken buildings, addictive citizens & overprotective murderbots, all while Atlas keeps whispering demands into your ear.
You know it's a good video, when you see Jane at the intro.
Im calling it now!!
Evil Luke will replace Tall Ellen for the next show of the weekend
You has clearly never gone camping the right way I could live for months in a tent with my family’s setup 😂
Star Ocean 3's first scene. Perfect vacation spot, cute girlfriend, deadly alien invasion...
OXBOX will always be a highlight of my childhood. I could watch these videos for hours on end.
Wait, Jane got killed by the Blair Witch? I thought she WAS the Blair Witch. Maybe it is safe to go camping again...
Another game that came to mind is spyro 2. He tries to go on vacation, but then gets brought to a new world where an evil dinosaur wizard (I guess) is taking over it.
The summer camp from Psychonauts. Kids trucked into attending a Psychonaut training camp under the guise of a summer camp. Oh and there's the psychic animals that can set you on fire. Andvthr evil camp counselor who wants your brain to make psychic war weapons
That's more of a unconventional school than a vacation.
Silent Hill is a good example. Novelist and his young daughter are just visiting a town for a quiet getaway, ends up in a living nightmare where the fabric of reality is slowly crumbling away as monstrous animals and bugs begin appearing, all while the sky is either foggier than a morning after a heavy thunderstorm, or darker than the deepest ocean floors.
Steambot Chronicles could also count, since the main character was basically visiting the game's location for a little R&R, only to end up having the ship he's on get blown up, winding up with amnesia, and targeted by numerous thugs and evil organization because they didn't bother to ID check the guy they were really after.
Personally, I wouldn't want to be Yu Narukami in the Persona 4 Arena series. He heads off to see his friends during golden week and the next thing he knows, he ends up in TWO fighting tournaments that decide the fate of the world.
That would also count as a vacation too, wouldn't it?
What's worse? Facing (one of) the P4 antagonist(s) or Mystery Food X?
Maybe just lump in all of the Personas together whenever you have to travel anywhere. P3 Kyoto trip anyone?
(Or DAN for people like me with no coordination)
Evil Genius. You just want to relax in an island resort; but then you go out to work on your tan and nearly walk into an open shoot out. You try to find cover only to find yourself if a metal hallway full of death traps
2/5; don't go unless someone else is paying for it
We could always go caravaning. LOL !
Bad vacations : Peach's vacation in "Super Star Saga", Peach's vacation in "Paper Mario Thousand Year Door", Peach's vacation in "Dream Team", Basically any vacation Peach plans!!
I assume Ellen will never watch this list because of the giant spiders shown? How will she learn not to go on holiday?!
Camping is the worst. Indoors is humanity's greatest achievement.
Every time a rich person goes on vacation in the sleepy Italian fishing community of Sapienza, they die in a bizarre and mysterious accident. What’s worse, there’s always some bald bloke cackling manically to himself five feet away while changing outfits every few minutes. You’d think the Italian tourism industry would’ve collapsed by now from all the workplace health & safety lawsuits and general rudeness.
I generally bribe the bears with salmon to help me set up my camp site, sure some times they try and kill me, but once you kill on or two in front of the others they tend to fall in line, as an added bonus they're nice to have around on particularly cold nights, just don't forget to have them in a headlock when you go to sleep.
My bears have unionized - now every 10th fish must be a carp, sturgeon, or other large fish with a weight not less than 20 pounds, and they must be given at least one 30-minute break every 4 hours.
How about Alan Wake's get away to Bright Falls, of course it's your arrival that awakens the evil under the town.. and I bet the weather back home is better too.. *eyeroll*
At least you could enjoy some nordic walking :)
Yeah, mario has always had a weak spot for seafood. He’s banned in several sushi restaurants
I see Persona 4, i approved this
I knew Far Cry was gonna be on here. Oh my gosh! I used to play that Let's Go Jungle game all the time at the arcade when I was a kid! Nostalgia.
far harbour. massive pools of rads. raiders and synths everywhere
If I recall that was less going on vacation and more helping your synth friend Nick on a detective job.
@@axletensa8051 still the worst road trip ever.
How about "Top levels you didn't want to beat because they were too fun." Like if the music was great, or the level itself was really fun, etc.
What do you mean camping is awful?! Camping is the freakin' best!
No thanks. Between wolves, bears, mountain lions, big foot and poisonous snakes, no thanks. Also, I live near an Indian bural ground so going outside at night can be freaky.
A staycation watching Outside Xbox already sounds better than every holiday I've ever been on. And I went to Disneyland when I was a kid and didn't have to pay for it myself.
Well this is it guys, clearly with Janes incredible advertisement idea the channel will soon be overrun with sponsers
I have vaguely fond memories of camping as a kid, but my desire to go out into the woods and sleep in a tent with insects battering at the canvas has gone down quite a lot as I've gotten older, I must admit. Then again, most of these games are all about the dangers of tropical paradises. . .nobody tell me if they've made a horror game about Hershey Park yet. I liked that trip.
I am on vacation in North Carolina.....
It’s okay-I live in south Virginia
After doing everything else possible in the game Mass Effect 3, Shepard finally takes her/his shore leave before going to the illusive man’s base (do want Miranda at the party after all).
Going out to a delicious dinner with Joker, Shepard ends up falling through the fish tank. No Medi-gel, low ammo and quite a walk through hostile enemies before finally finding a companion (your love interest if she/he’s a squad member, Samantha’s not) to help. You also get help from Wrex, if you didn’t kill him on Virmire or the Citadel (if you sabotage the cure) 🤣. And that’s just the first mission of shore leave
Suprised the original Silent Hill didn't make this list...
The beginning of Super Mario Sunshine legit enraged me back when it first came out.
I love that game but the set-up for it still makes my eyes bleed.
Just so you know....
Kanji is best girl.
oh, right, I forgot how much Jane _loves_ being in the open air! :P
*starts thinking back to the video (rdr iirc) with trekking talks*
What about that one time those people went to that place and some bad things happened in that one game
It didn't make the list 😕
but that one scene is awesome
@@dekkuboboo8486 I like the other scene better.
that scene was the best
"Did they ever find your kidney?" Trying to figure out if that as and Eggbert reference or not.
I GET IT YOU DON’T LIKE CAMPING!
I'd like camping if it has electricity and internet.
FF15? Well, that did start out as a road trip to Noctis's wedding and turned into save the world mission.
I always expect clowns to try to bomb me when I'm in Paris. The mimes are dodgy too. And what is wrong with that shop owner? "Hi stranger can I smell that rag you got there? Yup chloroform."
What about Until Dawn?
A lovely getaway, sure, until everything goes to heck
Jane, camping is the most comfortable holiday for me because I adequately prepare and bring a trailer tent
What no love for Bioshock? You're taking a graduation trip heading off on a grand adventure and it goes pear shaped as fast as you can say 'would you kindly'.
I've never been to Paris, I've been to Stockholm though; what's that, you want to kidnap me... alright, you look like a nice fellow... why not.
The camping trip from persona 4 golden wasn't a vacation, it was a class trip that most of the students opted out of attending
So Jane was killed by the Blair Witch?
That must be the start of her reign of tyranny!
If you believe that cooking so bad it requires a courage stat check is impossible then clearly you didn't have the kind of housemates I did at university. After trying to teach one of them how to fry an egg we ended up having to throw away the pan.
At least Duke had some comical characters on his vacation. Some aliens look like Alf, but I guess that can be scarier than everything else he is fighting.
I take issue with your attitude on camping. Those problems are solved by the following:
1) Bring plenty of blankets
2) Have an air mattress or cot
3) Set up camp at a higher elevation and put up a tarp
4) Good campsites warn if bears have been sited in the area
5)You can set up proper showering and washing stations if you know how
Lets Go Jungle was my jam! Used to play it all the time in the Bob Walther's!
