That section of mgs5 was one of the hardest hitting moments I've ever experienced. If you check the stats every one of those soldiers is picked from your best staff. Snake doesn't want to do it and the player is given gameplay reason to empathize beyond the story and emotional impact.
At least the staff you get at that point isn't that great yet (very unlikely to have a lot of S ranks), so while it's a hard loss at the time, later those soldiers would have been kicked out for being too weak.
I managed to not have to do it by putting all the kikongo speakers in the quarantine bay I am positive that I skipped it because I have completed the game and got the cure thing for the virus i think there was a cure because all of the quarantined soldiers were released
Good thing Red Dead Redemption didnt have a reson to be in this list. The game ended when you got back your family. There were no other missions after that...NO OTHER MISSIONS I SAID!!!
Well you missed the cattle herding, hunting with jack, and all that fun farm management/ father sim that carries the rest of the experience of the game forever and ever.
I'm really surprised that you guys didn't put Red Dead Redemption on this....is what I would be saying if there was any harrowing decisions near the end, but I think we can all agree that John Marston lived forever having fun cowboy adventures.
razgriz821 Well most of these on the list also have only one choice, I think that was meant to be the point of the subject. Plus what I was specifically referring was the point during the OX Teams playthrough where they had to go through with the final Jack, despite not wanting to. And now I apologise to the world for thinking that there was anything that ever happened to John Marston that wasn't fun cowboy adventures.
Two other facts about the Companion Cube: 1) GladOS mocks you in the final fight about throwing it into the furnace 2) The Cube survived, and was returned to you at the end of Portal 2
To be fair, though, we weren't forced to go through that one...unless you were, of course, in which case, I can only commiserate and hope you escape soon!
I was expecting to have to relive the moment from Infamous 2 when you were forced to slowly kill Zeke. I'm surprised not to see it here, but happy for it. Good video!
How about Hitman? Agent 47 is just a man trapped inside a cycle of cruelty, wanting to return to the Italian countryside to his garden, but he keeps being drawn back to the violence, forced to kill target after target, until...why are you all looking at me like that?
I don't think 47 felt as forced by the Agency, but assassination is all he knows. Think about soldiers returning home or private military. A lot of them feel so much stress in the civilian world because fighting was all they knew.
47 is secretly afraid of gardening, he was horrified those months in the countryside. Bugs, leaves, flowers... Ugh it's enough to drive a man (47) to go back to killing.
I think everyone thought you were joking. I wouldn't say Gardening is his passion, but he tried for years to be a peaceful man, 47 simply cannot, blame the agency, the circumstances, his own poor life choices, when it comes down to it, he was *engineered* to kill. He can love whatever he wants, be amazing at anything he does, but he'll always be a killer.
Speaking of Metal Gear Solid, what about Metal Gear Solid 3? The Boss reveals the truth about your mission, yet you still have to kill her. It's made worse by EVA's message at the end that tells you even more about how she wasn't the bad guy.
Mister Buttchulon "barely distinguishable soldiers" these soldiers were recruited by *YOU* . You were the one that went out and Fulton them, in order to strengthen your army. These soldiers are willing to put their lives on the line for you, who they see as basically their messiah. They believe whatever you say because to them you are a symbol of hope and trust in your judgement. They are your family. This was much more difficult to do than shooting the boss because you had a family of soldiers during peace walker and to see many of them dying again, but this time with your own hands is what hurts the most.
For me one that certainly comes to mind is Oblivion, Dark Brotherhood questline, Purification quest. Having to kill all of your comrades in order to make progress was difficult (especially as they all were beginning to really like and respect me). So difficult that with my first character I never proceeded with that quest and abandoned the questline altogether.
I really didn't want to have to kill The Boss in MGS3. She was a brilliant character and the fact that you have to pull the trigger makes it so much worse.
trying to get the needle into my eye in dead space 2 was about a million times more harrowing than stabbing Bland Modern Day Protagonist Desmond Miles' Bland Modern Day Love Interest, idk why the latter was on the list instead of the former
yeah that's a fair point actually, but then they do bring up john marston's unjust and untimely end at every opportunity so i didn't think they were that worried about overusing it. then again, it's probably a special exception in the oxboxoffice - "rule number 1 is that you can never stop Andy from decrying the Tragedy of John Marston. rule number 2 is no dark souls comparisons, mike"
How about the evil ending of Infamous 2 where you kill your best friend. It's not even a slow death they make you hit the "shoot him" prompt 3 or 4 times.
What about Wolfenstein the new order, when you have to choose who Deathshed kills, and have turned into a super soldier, or in Wolfenstein Old blood, when you have to choose to save the old man, or the girl from zombies.
drewpamon more of a model than an image but we get the point. You also potentially don't exist and there is 0 methods of proving otherwise so as the saying goes "Nothing is real, and everything is real"
A way out was completely awesome, all the little bonding moments, playing games, having each other's backs through the whole thing, I was so settled into the buddy mechanic with my friend and the ending sequence really threw us both. That had some real emotional depth for me, and I loved it.
How about the end of the 2008 Prince of Persia? No, no, no; I just spent the entire game fighting to seal away the world-ending dark god. I am not going to undo all that just to resurrect Elika, who willingly sacrificed herself to complete the ritual and will be VERY upset with me if I DOOM THE WORLD to bring her back.
They released DLC as to why but it should have been included with the game. Short answer: with Elika dead, the line of people who could reseal the BBEG ended. He just had to wait for his next chance. He has time
Jane: I'm moving jobs, I have a Job as an actress now. It's a shame I can't take the rest of you with me, I love you guys. Rest of OXBox: Yeah, we will miss you, wait Jane, what are you doing with the flamethrower, JANE?! JANE!!!!?!?!
The sounds Ethan makes when he cuts off his finger, god. That’s the worst to me; I absolutely cannot see other people in pain. That, and stuff with eyes.
Batman: Arkham Asylum's encounters with Scarecrow definitely come to mind, having changed the entire dynamic of the game just to throw you for a loop of horror when you least expect it. Gave me the chills first time I played through!
Well for me it was the hardest to kill Adawale in assassin's creed rogue, I've spent quality time with him in AC4 Black flag, so much so that I cried when he died by my hand.
A harrowing moment for me would be from 7 Days to Die when you get Raphael's Treasure map. It's stated in the Map's note that the map was meant for someone to collect his goods and use them to save his son. However, the only thing the player can do is loot the treasure, not bother with saving Raphael's son, and have to live with that burden for the rest of your life. Granted, I don't see much practicality with trying to save a life with lumps of silver and a blueprint for leather boots
8:37 You guys show a screenshot of some Diamond Dogs and commenting on their stupid names, then choose to highlight Biting Bear over Flaming Cat? Opportunity missed man.
The correct answer will always be performing eye surgery on yourself in Dead Space 2. Your fictional eye wants as much to do with it as your real eyes do.
Oh yes. It can go wrong. You are in control of the machine and have to gently guide the needle right into Isaac's pupil. Making sure you don't do it too quickly or he gets scared and botches it. Messily.
I just did the mission 'Shining light even in death' on MGSV the other day, and through out the mission my only thought was "Why do i have to do this?"
In order to get access to one of the levels you need to sacrifice Yoshi to reach the relevant platform. The worst part is he doesn't even see to comprehend the betrayal. Poor, sweet trusting Yoshi...
The cops had to let Leo know Vincent was a cop, it's like not laughing when you're all in on a practical joke! Except, instead of laughing, you give Vincent a gun, and instead of everyone else laughing, they stand around uselessly as Leo steels the gun and holds Vincent hostage. Just like every practical joke I've ever been involved in.
You guys should leave timestamps in the description for extremely spoilery episodes so that it's easier to skip over spoilers for games we might be playing.
Dude, they told you all the games with harrowing decisions you can't avoid at the start. That in itself is a spoiler lol. Like, now you know all those games are going to force you to do stuff you don't want to do but you have no choice.
Betrayal in a way out is definitely the worst... Me and my best friend sat there trying all kinds of methods to avoid having to kill each other. When I ultimately landed the finishing blow, after about an hour of emotional struggle, I looked at him and what met my gaze was a look of pure disappointment. We just sat there for 20 minutes incapable of doing anything. Also, he hated me for a few days.
Everyone's talking about "A Way Out" but splinter cell conviction did it first...you spent the entire co-op game getting to know your partner and working with them in synchronization and in the blink of an eye you're in a one hit one kill situation with your partner. No turning back
Zach Ortiz I actually played the entire game with a random in conviction. When We fought it was actually sad. We got to know each other and everything. Then betrayal. We played other games for a while after. But the hurt was still there.
Give PT a little more credit. Every Corridor you walk down is a different puzzle you have to solve. Theres even 6 pieces of a picture of Lisa to find that keeps her at bay. Amazing experience for a teaser demo
I'll admit it; I got my first game over there. I straight refused to choose. Second time through I dropped the controller in the chair and walked away. My buddy made the call for me. More than once I felt less than heroic in that game. They're Nazis, yeah... but we're supposed to be better than them. We don't do what they do. Also, if Blazkowitz wasn't smart enough to think the dude had that grenade...
@@marshallbanana7296 Also when we finally dicovered WHAT Deathshead actually did I must say it realy messed me up. Like fuck me - 20 years... IN THAT. I got strong wibes of "I dont have mouth and I have to scream" out of it and it took me lots of time to play New Order again :|
The ending of splinter cell convictions co-op campaign. I'd usually walk right into the other players melee attack because I just can't bring myself to kill someone as cool as Kestrel
It doesn't matter that A Way Out came out in 2018 and not 2008; you can bet everyone still desperately searched for "secret ending" where they both survive
What about that Dark Brotherhood quest in Elder Scrolls Oblivion where you have to kill the entire sanctuary? Everyone was so nice to you and even the one guy that wasn’t changed his attitude
Glad I am not the only one who found Purification quest difficult due to having a heart for your comrades. It's almost like the game was taunting you by even making the formerly assholish guy to start respecting you.
I played A Way Out with my sister, and it was like old gaming times, chatting away, joking, having fun. Being perfectly in sync and wildly out of sync at times. (Good lord, the BOAT BIT we were so bad). But I knew the ending the whole time and already decided who I wanted to survive. Didn't give her any warning and got to listen to her struggle with not wanting to fight back. I didn't make it easy on her, because I wanted her character to win and didn't fight back. XD
What isn't quite made clear in this video, is that you can try to fight through without using the WP mortar, but there's simply too many enemies to succeed this way. From what I've heard, early versions of the game did make it possible to avoid using WP, but this was removed because too many playtesters chose to skip using WP, which had the problems of avoiding the message of the game, and because it made the game too short.
Nah not unless you live in a haunted house it's boring but not harrowing. Then again living in a haunted house like I did, things bore or piss me off not scare me. I mean the shit I saw would make priests and other holy men piss themselves.
@@davecarsley8773 how? I hated that mission. Killing hundreds of people trying to kill me is no prob for me but saving an innocent man from suffering and then torturing him for something he was no part is kinda painful to watch. And those people who say it's just game have not right in saying Video Game is art.
@@jamesisaac7684 if you just shoot someone in the house the first chance you get (it doesn't matter who) then you will pass the mission with minimal torture, although you have to hurt the guy once to get the address

Mordin's renegade choice in Mass Effect 3 "I'll stop you if i have to" :( That was the day I stopped playing games as a renegade ass and started only playing as the good guy.
Yeah or you could just mod one in while you’re at it because you need mods to get stuff like regular cubes / boxes passed to the next level. Since ever level has disintegration fields
I actually think that’s the right choice i did the save Chloe option first then did the other one. The reason I think sacrificing Chloe is the right choice is because the time line is fixed, the one that you destroyed in the first place, and Chloe was living on borrowed time, even if you do save Chloe who’s to say Death won’t continue to find her?
The worst part of the white phosphorus scene is that the devs removed the ability to choose to not use it because too many playtesters were choosing not to.
I still don't know what happens if you don't save Ashley in ME1. Did the other guy have an interesting story at all afterwards or does he basically do whatever Ashley did from ME2 onwards?
I 100% cried when I had to kill the Diamond Dogs, especially when they salute you before you shoot them. And that last guy was the final nail in the coffin, I felt so bad. Especially after beating the game and going through the KIA logs in the staff tab and thinking about how many of them were my fault.
I was sad killing Lucy. She maybe a Templar, but she’s Kristen Bell. I just love Kristen Bell. Now I don’t hate Shaun, he makes me laugh. Is he a bad representation of the British or something 🤔?
That time I had to meet with Bud Fensler to discuss *his percentage* on my new 7 figure Hollywood contract... the welcome handshake took hours alone... 😫
That MGS5 mission was both the best and worst mission. Worst in the fact that you have to kill your own people, best in the fact that it is a heartwreching, high drama point of the game.
What about being with Thane in ME3 as he dies, along with his son and saying goodbye. Yeah, gets me everytime. Or Walking Dead Season One, Lee and Clementine at the end. Damn that sucks.
Sounds like female Shepard kinda gets jipped on romance. Male Shepard can rekindle a romance with Ashley, Jack, Miranda & Tali. Female can rekindle with Kaiden or Garrus, as Thane dies & Jacob moves on. At least they both can rekindle with Liara, who seems to be the only option for both genders of Shepard. Kelly Chambers sure didn’t seem to count: “Shepard Romanced No One In ME2” (and it won’t unlock the Paramour achievement/trophy either)
Joe Nesvick Female Shepherd also has Samantha Traynor in ME3, but then Male Shep also has Steve Cortez and both can romance Diana Allers (although no paramour achievement/trophy). But yeah not many options for the female by the time ME3 comes along, Liara does at times feel like a relationship option being forced on you though. Although from my experience so far Garrus and Tali are the most interesting relationships. Apparently though Samara can be romanced by both as well as the female Shep can Javik and James on the Citadel DLC too.
mhJazz93 had no idea about Diana Allers. I would’ve preferred if Shepard’s favorite reporter, Emily Wong, was the one on the ship. Yeah I went with Samantha, I’m a sucker for British gals* My male Shepard even tried for Samantha too, before being told he’s not her type. Samara once turned me down in Mass Effect 2, so it’s great to know you can finally hook up with her if you can wait that long (I do that DLC after Horizon so Miranda can come to the party). Don’t romance Samara’s daughter or Critical Mission Fail 🤣 *So Samantha is a colonist, but her parents are British and she studied at Oxford. One can say she’s technically not British, but she works for me. I also like Miranda’s Australian accent. Of course I do find Jack attractive too. In my current play through, I’m trying out Tali after Ashley (great dialogue there).
Joe Nesvick Unfortunately being British I probably don't see the massive appeal of our girls, must be the accent. Yeah Miranda was voiced by Yvonne Strahovski (Dexter, Chuck). Yeah you don't have many opportunities to flirt with Diana but I'd prefer Emily Wong too, all you get is an email! Ashley seems quite generic for me, can't say much for Kaidan yet. Despite the fact you can't see her face Tali can get quite adorable and amusing, as can Garrus. My Male Shep in one playthrough from 1 to 3 I had Liara, Miranda and Ashley lol, Female shep had Kaidan, Garrus, and my last one had Liara, Tali. I think I just use Liara for the sake of it in ME1 lol At least it isn't like Andromeda where the majority of romances are for both!!! The amount of people I could flirt with was just insane, but then Dragon Age 2 wasn't much better!!
The Walking Dead first Season Episode 5 end. Admittedly this might not count because it’s at the end of the game but you have the decision of either telling Clementine to shoot Lee or leave him to die. Either way, Lee dies and the final cutscene plays. I wanted to die with him honestly. The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 1, killing or leaving that poor dog to die. That dog’s pain filled whines were horrible. I honestly cried with that one, even if he bit Clementine.
[insert obligatory DA comment here] That moment in Dragon Age Inquisition, when all your (unknowingly) unfortunate previous decisions lead to the point at which you have to decide to either leave Alistair or Hawke in the Fade. On the plus side, that huge demon was really patient waiting for my decision while I refused to make it.
I reasoned that, out of Hawke and Alistair, Hawke was the more likely to end up managing to escape a bizarre spider-related situation. It just seemed like the kind of thing that happens repeatedly to Hawke and they manage to escape with only immense damage to their pride and a story nobody will believe later, except Varric, who will complain it's not as good as the embellishment he'd devised.
Brothers: A tale of Two Sons. Literally any of the last portion of the game, but especially a) being forced to dig your brother's grave button prompt by button prompt, and b) suddenly needing to use his half of the controller to swim. I'm not crying, YOU are!!!
NeiR: Automata - . . . . . Part 3. When you're in control of 2B, while she's infected. You're slowly walking forwards, your pod giving you directions as the screen becomes slowly more messed up, your abilities all failing. You don't want to walk forwards, you know she's going to die. But you can't go back, she's trying to sacrifice herself to help 9S. Enemies still attack, and as you cross that final bridge, well... it's not a happy ending.
How about that moment in Hitman absolution where a guard just got a call from his doctor that told him he doesn't have cancer (or something else) and he is now happy but you have to throw him off the window to progress He even say that nothing is gonna ruin his day Of course agent 47 has no problem with it But I definitely had a problem with it
Jacobgame2 truly I loved Shaun I really loved his character even in ac4 when he entered for just a tinsy bit he was still better than most characters in the entire game
I'd personally list having your companions turn against you in the Closed Fist path of Jade Empire. In a game where Closed Fist can very much be played more along the lines of "Good is Not Nice" rather than *just* playing it as "Evil", you reach a point where if you choose to take power for yourself, you have no choice but to kill at least a couple of the friends you've had with you the entire time, with no way to talk them out of it as far as I remember......
What about Telltale The Walking Dead Season 2 where the game literally forces you to stitch up your own arm, with multiple button prompts, while watching and listening to the pain in little Clementine's voice?
I never even made it to the white phosphorus. There's a bit not to far in where you're going down some stairs, and there are a couple enemies below you talking, and one bums a stick of gum off the other only to feel terrible when it turned out it was his friends last piece but his friend was glad to let him have it, and after you can listen to a whole conversation of them obviously being good friends to each other they split up and one starts coming up the stairs toward you and there's no other route available... And that was when I decided that I was not going to play a second more if the game was going to force me to kill those two guys. (I have realized since that I had a few stun granades so maybe I can get past them nonlethally, but never booted it back up to check because it wouldn't be worth being wrong)
Maria Kristensen Not his Boss fight. You have to kill him for an item to fight one of the main bosses (unless you are counting speed runs where you don't need him for the Any% run). Saving him is optional though.
Remember OFF? That weird RPG that got very popular on tumblr a few years ago? If you've played it chances are there were several points were you really didn't want to do the thing, but the encounter with Hugo is probably the worst one. ... I just put the fight on auto for this one.
Major Spoiler for Mad Max The part at the very end where you are forced to ram your car into Scrotus's war machine killing both the Magnum Opus and Chumbucket.
Black Ops 2, mission titled "Suffer With Me." *spoiler* At the very end of the mission, you are tasked with shooting "Menendez." People playing the mission for the first time will think you're killing the main antagonist then and there. So you land a headshot or body shot with a .50 caliber shot, and you realize in a cutscene that you just shot one of the main protagonists. The harrowing moment occurs when you play the mission again and again. You know its Alex Mason, and he's your buddy. You don't want to shoot him. But you can't finish the mission without shooting Alex. There is a way to save him, but I'm not going to give that information out. I've spoiled too much.

How about the evil ending of Infamous 2 where you kill your best friend. It's not even a slow death they make you hit the "shoot him" prompt 3 or 4 times.

Because you have to choose the bad ending in Infamous. In these you are forced.
What about Wolfenstein the new order, when you have to choose who Deathshed kills, and have turned into a super soldier, or in Wolfenstein Old blood, when you have to choose to save the old man, or the girl from zombies.
I had no attachment to the Companion Cube until she used the term "euthanize" and then I INSTANTLY didn't want to do it!
I assumed it was GlaDos trying to psyche me out. It's a metal box. what's there to care about?
I find your lack of whimsy disturbing.
Mar Hawkman But what is in the box?
I found a map someone made where the Companion Cube *did* talk... well, it snarled... and it DID stab you if you got too close!
drewpamon more of a model than an image but we get the point. You also potentially don't exist and there is 0 methods of proving otherwise so as the saying goes
"Nothing is real, and everything is real"
A way out was completely awesome, all the little bonding moments, playing games, having each other's backs through the whole thing, I was so settled into the buddy mechanic with my friend and the ending sequence really threw us both. That had some real emotional depth for me, and I loved it.
TTG’s Tales from the Borderlands... releasing Scooter to his death... “Catch a Ride...” *sniff*
OMG, my heart-
He deserved way better and I'm tearing up just thinking about it
you really needed to make me cry on this very day didn't you?
How about the end of the 2008 Prince of Persia? No, no, no; I just spent the entire game fighting to seal away the world-ending dark god. I am not going to undo all that just to resurrect Elika, who willingly sacrificed herself to complete the ritual and will be VERY upset with me if I DOOM THE WORLD to bring her back.
ReverendTed I did bring her back, but I did it because the storyline was interesting.
You should post more spoilers in UA-cam comments. It's a really cool thing to do
They released DLC as to why but it should have been included with the game.
Short answer: with Elika dead, the line of people who could reseal the BBEG ended. He just had to wait for his next chance. He has time
@@davecarsley8773 It's a 10 year old game, if you haven't played it by now, you're probably unlikely to!

As soon as I saw Venom Snake on the thumbnail I knew what was coming. I'm writing this when the ad is still playing. But I know.
Chris Macknight I almost cried when that happened
RzrBlde Lastname and the fact that you've bonded with them throughout the game makes it worse (and the peace walker reference, it just hurt man)
Chris Macknight When it comes to MGS series, there's also Snake Eater's ending.
Yup... I feel ya man. It can be hard to play more than just the story missions of season 2 but I promise the reward is probably minimal.
"We live and die by your order boss!"
Batman: Arkham Asylum's encounters with Scarecrow definitely come to mind, having changed the entire dynamic of the game just to throw you for a loop of horror when you least expect it. Gave me the chills first time I played through!
Well for me it was the hardest to kill Adawale in assassin's creed rogue, I've spent quality time with him in AC4 Black flag, so much so that I cried when he died by my hand.
A harrowing moment for me would be from 7 Days to Die when you get Raphael's Treasure map. It's stated in the Map's note that the map was meant for someone to collect his goods and use them to save his son. However, the only thing the player can do is loot the treasure, not bother with saving Raphael's son, and have to live with that burden for the rest of your life.
Granted, I don't see much practicality with trying to save a life with lumps of silver and a blueprint for leather boots
Killing Lee in the walking dead. You have to do it but everyone wishes he could survive. (Ik you can leave him but he dies either way)
8:37
You guys show a screenshot of some Diamond Dogs and commenting on their stupid names, then choose to highlight Biting Bear over Flaming Cat? Opportunity missed man.
there was even a "Death Whale" they showed in the actual mission
The correct answer will always be performing eye surgery on yourself in Dead Space 2. Your fictional eye wants as much to do with it as your real eyes do.
When the successful result is the most harrowing thing ever in a game, that is the only correct answer.
Can it go wrong? Because if it can't the easy solution is to turn the sound of and close your eyes.
Oh yes. It can go wrong. You are in control of the machine and have to gently guide the needle right into Isaac's pupil. Making sure you don't do it too quickly or he gets scared and botches it. Messily.
Oh definitely. This one was tough for all the wrong reasons.
God im glad I don't own that game.
I just did the mission 'Shining light even in death' on MGSV the other day, and through out the mission my only thought was "Why do i have to do this?"
Super Mario World. Every time you reached a castle or a ghost house (I think it was every time) you had to leave Yoshi outside and go in alone.
In order to get access to one of the levels you need to sacrifice Yoshi to reach the relevant platform. The worst part is he doesn't even see to comprehend the betrayal. Poor, sweet trusting Yoshi...
STOP IT I CANNOT TAKE THE NIGHTMARES ANYMORE!
Brothers, a Tale of Two Sons
When you're forced to bury your brother.
The cops had to let Leo know Vincent was a cop, it's like not laughing when you're all in on a practical joke! Except, instead of laughing, you give Vincent a gun, and instead of everyone else laughing, they stand around uselessly as Leo steels the gun and holds Vincent hostage. Just like every practical joke I've ever been involved in.
7:38 Did Andy actually make an Avengers IW reference before it was released?
I didn't realize the video was that old, I thought it was deliberate. That's crazy.
I may regret to inform you that Avengers IW was released after this video
You guys should leave timestamps in the description for extremely spoilery episodes so that it's easier to skip over spoilers for games we might be playing.
I was hoping someone might have done this. Now I have to go through the video & attempt to not have certain games spoilt :(
Its a good odea. At least they warn you though half 0f youtube wouldnt bother lol
Yeah I read the spoiler for MGSV and now I feel sad :(
Thats a shame, maybe we as a community could do the time stamping. Im sure there pretty damn busy?
Dude, they told you all the games with harrowing decisions you can't avoid at the start. That in itself is a spoiler lol. Like, now you know all those games are going to force you to do stuff you don't want to do but you have no choice.
Betrayal in a way out is definitely the worst... Me and my best friend sat there trying all kinds of methods to avoid having to kill each other. When I ultimately landed the finishing blow, after about an hour of emotional struggle, I looked at him and what met my gaze was a look of pure disappointment. We just sat there for 20 minutes incapable of doing anything. Also, he hated me for a few days.
Liam sorry for what happened.
Me and my friend cried for like an hour and didn't talk for a day
Did anyone even consider just *NOT* finishing the game?!
Everyone's talking about "A Way Out" but splinter cell conviction did it first...you spent the entire co-op game getting to know your partner and working with them in synchronization and in the blink of an eye you're in a one hit one kill situation with your partner. No turning back
Zach Ortiz I actually played the entire game with a random in conviction. When We fought it was actually sad. We got to know each other and everything. Then betrayal. We played other games for a while after. But the hurt was still there.
Helljumper Bravo-16 the only question that matters is that you won
Give PT a little more credit. Every Corridor you walk down is a different puzzle you have to solve. Theres even 6 pieces of a picture of Lisa to find that keeps her at bay. Amazing experience for a teaser demo
For me it was Wolfenstein: The New Order.
So who is it going to be, Fergus or Wyatt?
I'll admit it; I got my first game over there. I straight refused to choose. Second time through I dropped the controller in the chair and walked away. My buddy made the call for me.
More than once I felt less than heroic in that game. They're Nazis, yeah... but we're supposed to be better than them. We don't do what they do. Also, if Blazkowitz wasn't smart enough to think the dude had that grenade...
@@marshallbanana7296 Also when we finally dicovered WHAT Deathshead actually did I must say it realy messed me up. Like fuck me - 20 years... IN THAT. I got strong wibes of "I dont have mouth and I have to scream" out of it and it took me lots of time to play New Order again :|
:(
I don’t know what’s worse: the gut-wrenching scenes of The New Order, or how badly they butchered the series with Youngblood. :(
The ending of splinter cell convictions co-op campaign. I'd usually walk right into the other players melee attack because I just can't bring myself to kill someone as cool as Kestrel
It doesn't matter that A Way Out came out in 2018 and not 2008; you can bet everyone still desperately searched for "secret ending" where they both survive
If I was allowed to name just one of the diamond dogs I would name him “girthing pickle”
What about that Dark Brotherhood quest in Elder Scrolls Oblivion where you have to kill the entire sanctuary? Everyone was so nice to you and even the one guy that wasn’t changed his attitude
or killing paarthunax. but obviously nobody ever did that.
I just never finished the main story of Skyrim. Still got hundreds of hours. lol
Glad I am not the only one who found Purification quest difficult due to having a heart for your comrades. It's almost like the game was taunting you by even making the formerly assholish guy to start respecting you.
Marvellous Marv i killed parthunax on my first playthrough
Stardust Comet and i will continue to do so
I played A Way Out with my sister, and it was like old gaming times, chatting away, joking, having fun. Being perfectly in sync and wildly out of sync at times. (Good lord, the BOAT BIT we were so bad).
But I knew the ending the whole time and already decided who I wanted to survive. Didn't give her any warning and got to listen to her struggle with not wanting to fight back. I didn't make it easy on her, because I wanted her character to win and didn't fight back. XD
OPS: "Hey, go in there and find survivors then leave and call for backup."
5 seconds later...
Walker: *finds survivors... shoots them in the face*
White phosphorus is really gnarly and is a truest terrible way to die a walking cinder
I guess the unkindled ashen one from DS3 is a walking white phosphorus victim
soap and water will do the trick tho. oh wait. it's a desert.
khamjaninja
the white phospherous isn't portrayed accurately to real life
also the US uses Willy Pete same as how Russians use banned cluster bombs
What isn't quite made clear in this video, is that you can try to fight through without using the WP mortar, but there's simply too many enemies to succeed this way.
From what I've heard, early versions of the game did make it possible to avoid using WP, but this was removed because too many playtesters chose to skip using WP, which had the problems of avoiding the message of the game, and because it made the game too short.
I cried when I first did the mission in MGSV I actually cried I felt bad for snake
Same my dude
I couldn't play the game for a week
I sat at that last group for idk how long before I built myself up to end them.
What about having to stop playing video games in general, to do scary life things...harrowing 😹
i agree - why do things in real life, when i can micro manage a simulated city?
[ Thinks about quitting a game to return to the 'real world']
[*SHUDDERS*]
Wait? Games aren't life things? So you're saying my mundane everyday life isn't a dream? Oh....right....I see....the horror.
ADULTING SUCKS! Ahem. Sorry about that, that appeared to have hit a nerve....
Nah not unless you live in a haunted house it's boring but not harrowing. Then again living in a haunted house like I did, things bore or piss me off not scare me. I mean the shit I saw would make priests and other holy men piss themselves.
How about the torture mission in GTA V? Pretty messed up...
Skippable
@@davecarsley8773 how? I hated that mission. Killing hundreds of people trying to kill me is no prob for me but saving an innocent man from suffering and then torturing him for something he was no part is kinda painful to watch. And those people who say it's just game have not right in saying Video Game is art.
@@jamesisaac7684 if you just shoot someone in the house the first chance you get (it doesn't matter who) then you will pass the mission with minimal torture, although you have to hurt the guy once to get the address
@@jamesisaac7684 I loved that torture it was amazing and inspiring
Mordin's renegade choice in Mass Effect 3 "I'll stop you if i have to" :( That was the day I stopped playing games as a renegade ass and started only playing as the good guy.
The Shawn part cracked me up. He's literally everyone from OX
What, no Dead Space eye-gouging? Slowly stabbing a needle into your own eye? Oh hell no, I absolutely did not want to do that!
The eyeball spike in Dead Space 2... freaked me out really bad. After failing it the first time, it took me a while to try doing it again.
I wonder how long Luke and Ellen spent in a similar lab before realizing it was just Jane disguising her voice the whole time?.....
In Portal you CAN just throw a regular cube / box down the pit if you carried one over from the previous level, doesn't have to be the companion cube.
How?
Yeah or you could just mod one in while you’re at it because you need mods to get stuff like regular cubes / boxes passed to the next level. Since ever level has disintegration fields
Selecting to save Arcadia Bay and having to watch Chloe die again... (YES I MADE THAT CHOICE COME AT ME JANE)
Same! Had to apply Star Trek logic to it
Man it felt so satisfying to watch Chloe die again, she acted like a damn child the whole game
Spideog, now put that trolleycar problem towards the Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra presenters...WHO DIES?
I actually think that’s the right choice i did the save Chloe option first then did the other one. The reason I think sacrificing Chloe is the right choice is because the time line is fixed, the one that you destroyed in the first place, and Chloe was living on borrowed time, even if you do save Chloe who’s to say Death won’t continue to find her?
I don't know you, but I know I can't like you as a person anymore.
The worst part of the white phosphorus scene is that the devs removed the ability to choose to not use it because too many playtesters were choosing not to.
Mordin in Mass Effect 3.
xxDrain or Legion... d*mm*t, that game tore me an emotional new one
Or, basically any major choice in Mass Effect 3.
Oh great my PTSD is coming back thank you very much.
Which version exactly? Or simply all of them just different?
I still don't know what happens if you don't save Ashley in ME1. Did the other guy have an interesting story at all afterwards or does he basically do whatever Ashley did from ME2 onwards?
I 100% cried when I had to kill the Diamond Dogs, especially when they salute you before you shoot them. And that last guy was the final nail in the coffin, I felt so bad. Especially after beating the game and going through the KIA logs in the staff tab and thinking about how many of them were my fault.
FELICITY IN BORDERLANDS: THE PRE-SEQUEL :(
Also Angel in borderlands 2
I felt terrible turning her into the first Constructor against her will, and then having to fight her to make her obey Jack.
YES!! Felicity is always so heartbreaking. And I hate having to kill Angel, too.
you guys nailed this list
I was sad killing Lucy. She maybe a Templar, but she’s Kristen Bell. I just love Kristen Bell. Now I don’t hate Shaun, he makes me laugh. Is he a bad representation of the British or something 🤔?
no, he's a spot-on rep of us, perfect to every sarcastic line.
I love Shaun... he is incredibly entertaining. And I had no problem killing Lucy xD I feel like I might be a minority on that one.
That MGSV mission really made me feel feelings and stuff
That time I had to meet with Bud Fensler to discuss *his percentage* on my new 7 figure Hollywood contract... the welcome handshake took hours alone... 😫
That MGS5 mission was both the best and worst mission. Worst in the fact that you have to kill your own people, best in the fact that it is a heartwreching, high drama point of the game.
What about being with Thane in ME3 as he dies, along with his son and saying goodbye. Yeah, gets me everytime.
Or Walking Dead Season One, Lee and Clementine at the end. Damn that sucks.
Sounds like female Shepard kinda gets jipped on romance. Male Shepard can rekindle a romance with Ashley, Jack, Miranda & Tali. Female can rekindle with Kaiden or Garrus, as Thane dies & Jacob moves on.
At least they both can rekindle with Liara, who seems to be the only option for both genders of Shepard. Kelly Chambers sure didn’t seem to count: “Shepard Romanced No One In ME2” (and it won’t unlock the Paramour achievement/trophy either)
Joe Nesvick Female Shepherd also has Samantha Traynor in ME3, but then Male Shep also has Steve Cortez and both can romance Diana Allers (although no paramour achievement/trophy). But yeah not many options for the female by the time ME3 comes along, Liara does at times feel like a relationship option being forced on you though. Although from my experience so far Garrus and Tali are the most interesting relationships. Apparently though Samara can be romanced by both as well as the female Shep can Javik and James on the Citadel DLC too.
mhJazz93 had no idea about Diana Allers. I would’ve preferred if Shepard’s favorite reporter, Emily Wong, was the one on the ship. Yeah I went with Samantha, I’m a sucker for British gals*
My male Shepard even tried for Samantha too, before being told he’s not her type. Samara once turned me down in Mass Effect 2, so it’s great to know you can finally hook up with her if you can wait that long (I do that DLC after Horizon so Miranda can come to the party). Don’t romance Samara’s daughter or Critical Mission Fail 🤣
*So Samantha is a colonist, but her parents are British and she studied at Oxford. One can say she’s technically not British, but she works for me. I also like Miranda’s Australian accent. Of course I do find Jack attractive too. In my current play through, I’m trying out Tali after Ashley (great dialogue there).
Joe Nesvick Unfortunately being British I probably don't see the massive appeal of our girls, must be the accent. Yeah Miranda was voiced by Yvonne Strahovski (Dexter, Chuck). Yeah you don't have many opportunities to flirt with Diana but I'd prefer Emily Wong too, all you get is an email! Ashley seems quite generic for me, can't say much for Kaidan yet. Despite the fact you can't see her face Tali can get quite adorable and amusing, as can Garrus. My Male Shep in one playthrough from 1 to 3 I had Liara, Miranda and Ashley lol, Female shep had Kaidan, Garrus, and my last one had Liara, Tali. I think I just use Liara for the sake of it in ME1 lol
At least it isn't like Andromeda where the majority of romances are for both!!! The amount of people I could flirt with was just insane, but then Dragon Age 2 wasn't much better!!
mhJazz93 or sowing up her arm season 2
Everytime P.T. is brought up, i cry a little.
So much hate for Shaun. I love Shaun!
Shaun! . . . Shaun! . . . . . Shaun!
The only reasonable person in AC3, past characters included.

Plus he has a really sexy voice.
I love his sarcasm, it reminds me of someone..
The Walking Dead first Season Episode 5 end. Admittedly this might not count because it’s at the end of the game but you have the decision of either telling Clementine to shoot Lee or leave him to die. Either way, Lee dies and the final cutscene plays. I wanted to die with him honestly.
The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 1, killing or leaving that poor dog to die. That dog’s pain filled whines were horrible. I honestly cried with that one, even if he bit Clementine.
[insert obligatory DA comment here]
That moment in Dragon Age Inquisition, when all your (unknowingly) unfortunate previous decisions lead to the point at which you have to decide to either leave Alistair or Hawke in the Fade.
On the plus side, that huge demon was really patient waiting for my decision while I refused to make it.
Tbh, the decision was slightly easier for me since I made Alistair the King of Ferelden and spared Loghain's life in DAO
It was Hawke or that other warden for me...I didn't play as him, raise him, take care of him.
My Hawke lived damnit
I reasoned that, out of Hawke and Alistair, Hawke was the more likely to end up managing to escape a bizarre spider-related situation. It just seemed like the kind of thing that happens repeatedly to Hawke and they manage to escape with only immense damage to their pride and a story nobody will believe later, except Varric, who will complain it's not as good as the embellishment he'd devised.
Brothers: A tale of Two Sons. Literally any of the last portion of the game, but especially a) being forced to dig your brother's grave button prompt by button prompt, and b) suddenly needing to use his half of the controller to swim.

Part 3. When you're in control of 2B, while she's infected. You're slowly walking forwards, your pod giving you directions as the screen becomes slowly more messed up, your abilities all failing. You don't want to walk forwards, you know she's going to die. But you can't go back, she's trying to sacrifice herself to help 9S. Enemies still attack, and as you cross that final bridge, well... it's not a happy ending.
MonochromePhoenix the original Nier is just as twisted 😩 but 2B the hero we did not deserve
I'm a little more motivated to finish the game now, was starting to get bored...
I felt like crying when I got to that point in the game. :(
Jonathan Garcia
I did cry! And at the end of C/D too.
I don't remember Ending D but Ending C was a wild ride.
Flaming Cat!
Omg, I'm laughing so hard.
I honestly feel so fucking heart broken whenever I see any AC related plot related to Desmond and the whole franchise. What happened to story man.
Money did, why do you think AC gets released yearly now
what about almost every Telltale Walking Dead ending? ç_ç
Having only played the first season. You had options just most of them played out about the same.
@@theMightyWhytey you,, you still had to tell clem to kill you NO
How about that moment in Hitman absolution where a guard just got a call from his doctor that told him he doesn't have cancer (or something else) and he is now happy but you have to throw him off the window to progress
He even say that nothing is gonna ruin his day
Of course agent 47 has no problem with it
But I definitely had a problem with it

You can actually wait for him to walk from the window
Wait REALLY

What's Mikes problem with Shaun Hastings? He is the best!
Jacobgame2 truly I loved Shaun I really loved his character even in ac4 when he entered for just a tinsy bit he was still better than most characters in the entire game
Life is strange, when Chloe asks you to kill her. I still haven't made a decision and I left it about half a year ago. 'Nuff said
I'd personally list having your companions turn against you in the Closed Fist path of Jade Empire. In a game where Closed Fist can very much be played more along the lines of "Good is Not Nice" rather than *just* playing it as "Evil", you reach a point where if you choose to take power for yourself, you have no choice but to kill at least a couple of the friends you've had with you the entire time, with no way to talk them out of it as far as I remember......
SPOILER FOR LIFE IS STRANGE:
The point where you have to choose between Chloe or the bay...I WANT THEM ALL TO LIVE DAMN IT!
Erase all the save files
Chloe had it coming.
Yeah, I said it.
what about killing Paarthurnax ??
InnerSilence123 whomst?
That's not really forced on you. You have the choice not to, it just locks you out of the rest of the blades quest line.
F... the blades.
Thankfully it is no longer required(I think)
you can decide not to kill him and "nothing changes"
Stabbing Lucy wasn't expected but it was the right thing to do, she was a Templar
What about Telltale The Walking Dead Season 2 where the game literally forces you to stitch up your own arm, with multiple button prompts, while watching and listening to the pain in little Clementine's voice?
How about every time that Mario have to kill Yoshi in order to make the jump.
Lol... Nah. The bottom of those pits is filled with cotton candy and 72 female Dino virgins. Yoshi is happy down there.
these videos are like a giant database of video game ideas. super useful resource. i'll cite you guys when i publish my first game :)
So I actually found out the The White Phosphorus scene is actually avoidable, you can select to activate but never fire and wait it out.
I never even made it to the white phosphorus. There's a bit not to far in where you're going down some stairs, and there are a couple enemies below you talking, and one bums a stick of gum off the other only to feel terrible when it turned out it was his friends last piece but his friend was glad to let him have it, and after you can listen to a whole conversation of them obviously being good friends to each other they split up and one starts coming up the stairs toward you and there's no other route available...
And that was when I decided that I was not going to play a second more if the game was going to force me to kill those two guys. (I have realized since that I had a few stun granades so maybe I can get past them nonlethally, but never booted it back up to check because it wouldn't be worth being wrong)
Killing Sif in Dark Souls, especially after seeing him limping.
Bonus points if this is after you saved him in The Abyss.
Don’t you have a choice to, you know, not do that? Isn’t it an optional fight?
Maria Kristensen Not his Boss fight. You have to kill him for an item to fight one of the main bosses (unless you are counting speed runs where you don't need him for the Any% run). Saving him is optional though.
Maria Kirstensen nope, its not
Oh allright. Do you have to kill Sif to beat the game? (I´m not that far yet)
I don't know why but the most harrowing thing for me is when the radio in PT says "look behind you... I said... look behind you."
Remember OFF? That weird RPG that got very popular on tumblr a few years ago?
If you've played it chances are there were several points were you really didn't want to do the thing, but the encounter with Hugo is probably the worst one.
...
I just put the fight on auto for this one.
Reminds me of mgsv

Major Spoiler for Mad Max
The part at the very end where you are forced to ram your car into Scrotus's war machine killing both the Magnum Opus and Chumbucket.
Oh yeah that too
Black Ops 2, mission titled "Suffer With Me." *spoiler* At the very end of the mission, you are tasked with shooting "Menendez." People playing the mission for the first time will think you're killing the main antagonist then and there. So you land a headshot or body shot with a .50 caliber shot, and you realize in a cutscene that you just shot one of the main protagonists. The harrowing moment occurs when you play the mission again and again. You know its Alex Mason, and he's your buddy. You don't want to shoot him. But you can't finish the mission without shooting Alex. There is a way to save him, but I'm not going to give that information out. I've spoiled too much.
Dude the game was released in like, the late 2000’s what do you mean “spoiled to much”
