Honorable mention, Portal 2 has a trophy for accepting Wheatley’s plea of asking you to jump into a dark bottomless pit, he just asks so kindly and the more you sit there contemplating, the more he begs..
I'm so cautious that at times I have to humor the game to get it to progress in times when you have to make an obviously dumb mistake to continue. There was this game I played a while ago, I forget what it was, but to even begin the games events you have to use some obviously dangerous item and after trying to figure out what to do for a while, I found out that you *had* to use it.
Volo’s eye replacement is actually one of the best buffs in the game, so I wouldn’t say it’s a bad choice. It’s far better than trusting Ethel, who doesn’t really help at all.
@@thetrueriley232 His point is about never patching it, Rockstar knew that this one swing was better fun for us than half of the game itself xD so it stayed through whole life of the game, and it was known fairly fast after the release so they had time to patch it
Fear & Hunger Reference?? Take my like 👍🏼 Side note, I’ve yet to see a youtuber decide not to censor the monster’s “stinger”. Hope it doesn’t lead to being demonetized 🤞🏼
The Dragons Dogma section is absolutely going to be a classic in a couple years 😂 If only we could do this for so many other games with “Delivery” missions 😢
The Stanley Parable - just the whole game is "Will the player make a stupid choice? And if no, can we make them make a stupid choice? And if no, can we make them think they are out smarting us thus making a stupid choice?"
Also in Far Cry 4 if you actually wait for the Antagonist Pagan Min for irl 15min, you unlock alt ending where he allows you to place your mother's ashes and the whole game ends. Very neat.
@bryanhicks3407 being a gamer since space invaders and a former professional game tester, I have to explore everywhere and test every game mechanic to the point that I spend a lot of time dead. If there is a way to break a game I will find it so I also spend a lot of time falling through the ground.
As I was reading your comment, I thought you were gonna say "I have killed myself more times in games trying things out, than I have died _in real life_ ".
On Wasteland 2 there is a museum in the main building, and there's an atomic bomc with the option to "click a button", once i did this, the base exploded and it was game over.
Yeah so funny the game lets you finish the game by just waiting for pagin min - I think the fifth game has that as well if you arrest the guy at the beginning of the game
The fifth game let's you refuse to arrest him twice, once at the beginning and once before the final fight Too bad that antagonist was the lamest out of all the Far Cry games
I assume that's directed towards me. I'm all about having some fun, but no one likes that one annoying guy at the party that just parrots old tired jokes all night.@@THATCRZYKING
Number 10 reminded me of an old obscure RPG called "Shadow Madness", where if you use the item called "Pandora's Cauldron" you get a crazy fmv cutscene that results in the world being destroyed.
It feels more like a 70 dollar expansion pack for the first game..I stopped playing it and I’m not sure if I’m going to finish it probably gonna trade it in..
Gotta love the Volo one... "Careful... The needle needs to go BEHIND the eye, not THROUGH it!" - Proceeds to literally stab you right in the middle of your eye.
I love how you just jump into the hay bale and die immediately. They gave a cool Assassin's Creed reference but also roasted the game at the same time 😂😂😂
There's also Amid Evil; if you try to go outside the gateway building to try to explore the outside, you'll die & get the "Abysmal" achievement. I know because I did it; I also tried doing it again in the VR version of the game to see if I'd get it again, but I didn't; meaning that apparently, the VR version *doesn't* have achievements, or at least not *that* one.
In Fable, where you're supposed to spell out a password with the letters H, T, I and S. They knew what we all were gonna do, so they send werewolves after us when we did it
While Volo is annoying, he actually knows what he's talking about, mostly. During my Dark Urge play thru I finally listened to him instead of skipping and ignoring, and found his words, while annoyingly delivered, were truthful and accurate. The trade of losing an eye for the see invisible trait was totally worth it.
In Resident Evil you could get that shotgun without triggering the trap. There was a broken shotgun somewhere you could pick up and hang on the wall where the good one was and you didn't get crushed.
5:57 this is actually based on a real life story from 12th century. When Henry II, Count of Champagne threatened grand master of Hashashin Rashid ad-Din Sinan, that his army was stronger and he could destroy them at any time, Rashid smiled and ordered two of his subordinates to jump off of a tower and they did so without hesitation. Count was shocked, acknowledged that he may have the numbers but these were some unhinged zealots and let the Nizaris be. The main difference between this story and the game is that IRL everyone involved (including those jumpers) knew they were going to die and they did die indeed...
Within playing "Green Hell" for the first five minutes I got an achievement called Die. I immediately turned around after the dialogue at the start and Jumped off the cliff to see if I could .... You can ... Damn gamer brain .. >
That first one reminds me of Toxic Bunny, just that nothing bad happened in it, if you deplete all 5k of your first weapon's ammo, you get a complete refill, and also get ammo for all the in-game weapons that have an ammo counter, so doing so in the beginning means you have some of the best weapons from the start😅
Number 8, Dragon's Dogma 2, I failed the Riddle of Rumination (finding the first Seeker Token) and she did not leave. I was unable to get that particular chest and did not get the achievement, but I was able to complete the other riddles without issue.
God of War, Kratos The mighty Sparten who took on armies and many gods Also Kratos; Alright Altreus, let's jump into the rift that binds the realms together
Number 5: First time I played this game was a few years it came out. I was like "Wonder if I will die?" Jumped up, got hit and died I laughed when it popped up and was like "00.008% of players have done this" after all those years not many had done that. Also : Mercenary Zoophobia ... okay lol.
Falcon is awesome, I’m so glad Falcon did Dragon’s Dogma 2’s Before You Buy (that show were we give you straight up gameplay…) instead of Jake, it’s the best analysis of the game on UA-cam 🦅 🔥🔥🔥 Not that I got anything against Jake 😊
My favorite was the hole on the wall with ooze coming out of it that you can't see the back of. You're supposed to put your arm in it to get a key. I think it was the first silent hill.
There actually is a way to get Jill killed in that crusher trap. I did it one time. I don't remember what it was, I did, but I was actually waiting for Barry to come and get me, but he did not, and I died. I was equally surprised and upset.

@@DontKnowDontCare6.9 you are still stuck 3 years ago and missing out on an incredible game
Gaming is a way to do things that we would never get to do in real life, so in a way, stupidity is a core part of gaming.
We escape reality into vanity 😂
you’re assuming our real lives aren’t also riddled with stupidity lol

Also Rockstar NOT patching the swing glitch is a good example

God bless the swingset glitch

I have killed myself more times in games trying things out, than I have died from the actual game itself.

Huge shoutout to you guys at gameranx daily uploads at lunch time makes you guys my favorite channel
Repeatedly whacking a defenseless chicken with my sword in A Link to the Past is the first time I experienced this.
I know Skyrim does something similar..damn cultist using a chicken as a shield just as I take a swing at them
Wow, Gameranx mentioned Strong Bad! Hell yeah.
Every time I watch a gameranx videos, I come to the sad realization that there's never gonna be a sequel to Prey 2017.
LMAO This makes me appreciate developers so much.
Falcon, your Strong Bad impression is incredibly cursed. I love it
How do you come up with ideas for this series is beoynd me, keep it coming tho!
FarCry 4, sitting down at the table at the beginning of the game, finsihes it before starting
Yeah so funny the game lets you finish the game by just waiting for pagin min - I think the fifth game has that as well if you arrest the guy at the beginning of the game

Prey is such a great game. I'm glad to see it on list so much lately
13:21 WHAT?! Did, did he just cut off his 😮

Falcon, the Riddle of Futility in Dragon’s Dogma II may be a hard riddle, but the Riddle of Rumination is both hard AND cruel.
Gotta love stuff like this in games.
Number 10 reminded me of an old obscure RPG called "Shadow Madness", where if you use the item called "Pandora's Cauldron" you get a crazy fmv cutscene that results in the world being destroyed.
I'm loving *Dragon's Dogma II!* It's practically a playground in experimentation!
No 😂
You’re the first I’ve heard that loves it
It feels more like a 70 dollar expansion pack for the first game..I stopped playing it and I’m not sure if I’m going to finish it probably gonna trade it in..
It really does feel like anything you think of would probably work like feeding wolves meat
Gotta love the Volo one... "Careful... The needle needs to go BEHIND the eye, not THROUGH it!" - Proceeds to literally stab you right in the middle of your eye.
I think the spittoons from West of Loathing are an honorable mention. The narrator, as well as the devs know exactly what is about to go down.
I love how you just jump into the hay bale and die immediately. They gave a cool Assassin's Creed reference but also roasted the game at the same time

0:22 do u think the devs giggle every now and then when they remember they programmed this

Assassin's Creed Odyssey. When Climbing the Zeus Statue, if you try to use the Dong as a handhold the game tells you "I probably shouldn't do that".
