One thing you missed on Duke 3D. In one of the levels, there is an earthquake. Afterwards, Duke says “I aint afraid of no Quake”. A proper middle finger up at Quake. Loved it 😂😂
Duke nukem 3d is the best i love the nuclear silo hidden map in the sub base level
@@coreyayers8575 it sure is. I still play today. It never gets old.
Duke Nukem Forever makes fun of Halo by the guys offering Duke a literal Halo spartan armor only for Duke to say “power armor is for pussies” 🤣
there is onew about valve puzzles too, and a donkey kong when you have to go up a tight highway with barrels comming down at you
Duty Calls was hilarious. I still remember it going “BLOODY SCREEN SO REAL”
"Ooh I'm dead, increasing the drama of the story." LOL
I don't think you mentioned the floaties that Timmy Vertuccelli had. In Vice City, you couldn't swim, in Driv3r you could, so the floaties were kind of another way to poke fun at Tommy for that! I think that's the funniest part of the Tommy Vercetti spoof.
That’s kinda clever
Good eye , that's funny
Dick tanner with female running animation was better 😂
I didn't even noticed that lol. Thought they were really big awful arm bands for some reason.
Yeah I'm surprised he missed that lol i got it as a kid.
My favorite ones are the friendly light-hearted cameos and guest characters in fighters are some of the cream of the crop!
The irony of Duke making fun of Master Cheif's power armor is that they did the whole regenerating armor in Duke Nukem Forever
Guess Halo didn't need to make fun of Duke Nukem because Duke Nukem already made fun of itself with that.
The Dying Light water drinking pack is absolutely brilliant, it really reminded me of the PS4 ad about how to borrow a game from your friend, etc lol
With all the controversy regarding Xbox at the time that ps4 ad was marketing genius.
And then Playstation released PS4s that had no disk drive...
@justinlast2lastharder749 all PS4's had disk drives
@@justinlast2lastharder749I think you meant ps5
@@liamgray2589 Weren't there some digital-edition ps4s?
We all laugh at these things and talk about "look at how dumb and goofy this is", but at the same time, it's actually pretty interesting video game history.
+1 for the archivists
The Mario character in Shenmoo is not necessarily the Nintendo character - there's actually nothing to indicate that.
I thought the same, I mean Nintendo didn’t invent Italians named Mario
yeah exactly
Yeah that one was a huge stretch at best
He might have been named Mario, but he looked like Chef Boy-Ar-Dee to me.
My thoughts exactly. I was waiting for him to say It's a Me Mario! But there was no such reference. Just having the name Mario does not make one Mario Mario.
SteamWorld Dig also had a HL3 joke. There was a hidden little cave with a broken down store with half life 3 signs on the walls and then there were dead skeletons outside waiting in the line to get in. Pretty funny
Another jab worth mentioning in GTA San Andreas is how throughout the state you could find billboard signs that read "Get rid of rubbish fast! TrueGrime Street Cleaners" in the TrueCrime font, which was a popular but short-lived game series at the time that had a similar GTA engine
it had a spiritual successor called sleeping dogs, but sadly is also shortlived when it deserves a sequel bcs the game was almost perfect imo.
How bout the Tombstone in San Fierro that says "RIP Opposition 1997-2004"
I swear that game was so good, I hope we get a sequel one day
what are you talking about brother@@teej3950
True crime streets of la had billboards that said “cockstar”
I would like a video with Jake and Falcon alternating in a single video's top 10 list!!
Brilliant idea maybe a top 10 of their personal favorites
Same booth.. same mic?.. same peice of dentine ice?.. asking for a friend. 😂
But make it a top 20!!!
Yes
It's gotta start off like any other list, but by the end be like "And this game, which is SO MUCH BETTER THAN JAKES CHOICE, is one of the best....." And just all argumentative
Oh man, I remember that whole 'Fish AI' thing now. Should've mentioned how people poked fun at it with clips from much older games that already did fish swimming away from the player, like Super Mario 64.
Mad Max is probably one of my favorite all time games. It was nearly perfect, in my opinion.
i remember this game some days, i finished mad max a year ago and was a very cool experience
@@xZodraKx awesome 😁
If they ever make a remaster, I'll definitely pick it up. I'll even pay the full bore for it again.
so fun game i miss it, a remaster will be perfect to replay it@@wikyWargaming
This game came out at a crucial time for me, sunk so many hours into it just exploring and completing everything, will always be one of my favorites for that
MGS3 also had a reference to Splinter Cell and Syphon Filter, when he get the order to capture monkeys, Snake replied "why don't you make Sam or Gabe do the job?"
Nice. Loved syphon filter games on ps1
Mario is just an italian name???
Yea this video earned a thumbs down for that one. Plus "Super" Mario isn't a chef, he's a plumber. The more I watch this channel, the more I WANT to like it, but it's more misses than hits. Most of the title's for the videos don't even fit, it's more almost clickbait but not quite as bad.
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is in my top 3 favorite multiplayer experiences ever. The spy vs mercenary aspect was so fun and challenging.
It was great how fun both sides were. Mercs had that dread of trying to catch the spies but never knowing when one would be right behind you yet still feeling strong while spies had the fear of being caught but the excitement of pulling something off and getting away with it. Speaking into the mercs ear when youre chokeholding them was great.
Hell yes!! I also loved the coop missions but spies vs mercs was just so much fun. I loved it when the brought it back for Blacklist but I didn't like the fact that there were no areas that are literally pitch black so as a spy you could never fully hide. Then again the spies were far more deadly than in Chaos Theory.
Yes! Although I prefer the maps of Pandora Tomorrow like Wharehouse, Chaos Theory was the perfect multiplayer game at the time... There was a pretty deep competitive scene too we used to host tournaments all the time
@@Ranger.TomGunna i can’t remember which maps go with which game anymore but I loved Mall, warehouse, Schermerhorn, Cinema
@@Ranger.TomGunnaWarehouse was the best and it was included when you started Spies vs Mercs in Chaos Theory
I wont say saints row tried to humiliate gta and other open world games but fhe parody was insane 💀
But no one can top the troll on gamers like the parody games rockstar put out as the definitive edition trilogy.
@@Iwanttodobetter lmfaoooo, ik ik. The rain in those games 💀💀💀
Funny how saints row ended up humiliating itself in the end.
@@CitiesOfAshwe don't speak of the reboot.
Talking about losing yourself to corporate greed. Nothing close to saints row 1 let alone a parody and satire of GTA
@@Iwanttodobetterlol truth, I can’t believe with the size of Rockstar and all the money they made from GTA V alone that they wouldn’t take the time to properly make a definitive edition of the old games. Blows my mind that’s an easy 50-75 million game sales again.
Endless content from Gameranx! Amazing.
Thanks
That hold up mechanic was key in MGS2, in order to achieve a certain rank after you finished the game you needed dogtags and those were dropped by held up enemies. Each one had an unique name and it was a pain to get all of them.
Serious Sam actually constantly made fun of Duke Nukem (aka "blondie)" in both First and Second Encounters. It sort of became his trademark.
"I ain't afraid of no Quake"
"That's One Doomed space Marine"
"Why so Serious Sam?"
One of my personal favorites will always be the scene in the witcher, i think its like 1 or 2, where geralt finds a dead priest in a haystack behind a church, and makes a joke about only idiots jump from tall buildings, clearly taking a jab at assassins creed.
The witcher 2, during the intro of the game :D
Chaos Theory also made fun of the earlier Splinter Cells. In one mission briefing, Lambert starts to go into what happens if Fisher's stealth is blown and Fisher says "Two alarms and the mission is over, right?" which is always what happened in the original and Pandora Tomorrow. But Lambert responds, "Of course not, Fisher! This isn't a video game!" (i may be off as to which installment of this series this took place, as i'm going from memory of at least 15 years ago)
Yeah, that was a nice moment for me.
It's on the boat mission, very early on into Chaos Theory.
There was also a reference to Dying Light's water promo in the game. There was some fountain somewhere, and clearing out the zombies around it would give you a prompt to use it. Using it would make you pull out a mug, scoop some water in, and take a selfie.
I never knew what that was about until now! Thank u! 😂
I always thought when kyle said its better than to drink energy drinks he referenced dead Island
Nothing better than starting Sunday with one of your videos, thank you guys!
Our pleasure!
Your Sunday just started, mine is almost over already. Still watching Gameranx no matter where we are
Monday already this side
👃💩
Given how frail Duke was in forever, I remember wishing he had actually taken that power armor
Bulletstorm is an amazing game. It has everything gears in first person but with hilarity. I love that game.
Half Life 3 is an Urban Legend at this point.
Also, Driver’s best insult was to the people that bought the first game with the tutorial. I still have nightmares where it’s just me failing that tutorial over and over and over.
being 9 and not knowing anything bout car tricks and being lucky got me through, somehow. just know, your pain is shared.
With phone destroyer, I reckon it also warrants mentioning that after you finish the campaign, it will show you exactly how much money you spend on the game on a billboard, with the cast of characters in front of it, celebrating the fact you spent so much (i know this because I was a sucker who spent way more than they should have on that game).
One of my favorite crossover nods were the green and red Italian plumbers in the sewers of Sapienza in Hitman
had to look up duty calls after this lol
i love when games give loving homages or easter eggs to games from other studios. off the top of my head, i always think about the subtle but very sweet homage to ghost of tsushima in forbidden west that also doubled as a memorial for a dev who passed away
Speaking of Ghost of Tsushima, one of the trophies there was for dressing like Sly Cooper
@@Ori_Kohav yeah but sucker punch made sly cooper. I would naturally expect a studio to pay loving homage to their own history lol
God Bulletstorm sucked
@@QuestionableLifeChoices still an awesome easter egg
@@Ori_Kohav indeed lol
I always liked the scene in Assassin's Creed 2 where you meet your uncle, who you don't remember. "Don't you recognize me, nepote? It's-a me, Mario!"
How in the hell did I miss duty calls? I loved bullet storm when it came out and cannot wait for it to come out in VR but I'm disappointed that I never knew about this and hope I can find it
While you're at it, they also parodied a Halo 3 trailer. Not as good as Duty Calls but worth checking out
Chrislair............the cuddly bear...likes to eat his pubic hair!
@@taylorwatson5421 Hell yeah thanks
Duty Calls looks like the funniest thing any company could have ever done as a dig.
Is the shenmue one even referncing the mario games? Mario is just an italian name...
Dying light also had a cave that poked fun at the loot cave in Destiny
I was expecting Witcher 2 easter egg with an assassin lying dead in a haystack 😂
Ghost Recon: Wildlands had an easter egg similar to Splinter Cell. When returning from a mission with Sam, during a cutscene Sam and a female NPC will strike up a conversation about him being the last of his kind (Stealth Games). He mentions that there was another person who wore a bandana to which the female replies that he retired prompting Sam to say; "Then it's only me."
i always just loved the bit in MGS where Snake asks why "Sam or Gabe" couldn't do it, also referencing Syphon Filter
That Duty Calls one is hilarious. Mad props. :)
Battlefield Bad Company 2 had Sweets commenting about "special ops douchebags with pussyass heartbeat monitors on their guns". That constant back and forth between COD and Battlefield at the time (I haven't noticed it in a while). I loved the dialog in that game, esp the random banter between the soldiers
They also had Haggard commenting during the quad race that "snowmobiles are for sissies", also of course ripping on the snowmobile chase in Modern Warfare 2
Dying light referencing the assassin's leap of faith was a good one.
Whoa whoa whoa, Splinter Cell and Metal Gear respect each other. That reference was absolutely not TRYING to HUMILIATE the other stealth cornerstone.
Problem with the Serious Sam reference in Duke Nukem. That's the 20th Anniversary edition as Serious Sam didn't exist when the original Duke 3D first came out.Also in Serious Sam 2, there is a scene in between planets where the aliens complain about the blonde guy that took forever.
I loved Driver 2. I found the crash mechanics so cool, and they even released it on the iTunes store way back when the 4the gen iPod was relevant.
I still remember the intro vividly, with Tanner stealing that Mustang and running from the parking garage.
There’s no Mustang in Driver 2 though
Only Ford vehicles are the van, police truck, ambulance and the coupe in Las Vegas
I feel like if you make a part 2, Matt Hazard definitely needs to be in there
it even predicted the morbius meme
That game was actually really good
That Serious Sam reference in Duke Nukem 3D must have been added in one of the re-releases of the game in response to SS constantly making fun of Duke.
Spyro, specifically Year of the Dragon. Had a load of references to other platforming mascots of the time. Including Crash Bandicoot, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Heck, even Tomb Raider wasn't safe from Spyro, with the character of Tara, being a clear cut reference to Lara Croft.
Let it never be forgotten that Moneybags threatened to turn Spyro "into a blue hedgehog or something". Insomniac really wasn't holding back, and I'm glad these nods remained in the Reignited Trilogy!
Spyro year of the dragon was great. Loved the skateboarding mini game too, the colour scheme, art and music was cool
The saints row 2 “would you rather” trailer was awesome, also the trailers between CoD and BF too were brilliant
Was expecting to see a Borderlands reference somewhere. Lots of Easter eggs poking fun in Borderlands.
Whenever a gameranx video drops, I stop what I'm doing and watch it. Just want to watch them grow as a channel.
Thanks Mark
I wish my subscribers would think like that hahaha
@@JonToyCars put cats in your videos, they're hilarious
In Duke Forever there's a callback to the DOOMed Space Marine with Isaac from Dead Space, there's a kick at Valve games when you have to do puzzles, there's a kick at Donkey Kong when you have to walk up a flight of stairs with barrels flying in your face, and others.
In Duke 3D there's a kick at Quake.
Also, there's a small reference to Duke Forever's development in Serious Sam the Second Encounter.
In Curse of Monkey Island, when Guybrush speaks to the Pirate making all the fried chicken in Porto Pollo, he finds Manny from Grim Fandango, hunched over at one of the tables in the restaurant, wearing a badge. When Guybrush inspects the badge it says "Ask me about Grim Fandango". When you request Guybrush take the badge, he says "No thanks, I don't want people asking me about Grim Fandango." Lucasarts had the BEST meta jokes.
Late to the party, but... With voodoo to 200 hours in Mad Max, I also feel obligated to sing it's praises. You said it: it's a very satisfying game. Every upgrade to your Magnum Opus is noticeable and meaningful (like Deacon's bike - Days Gone). And the car combat with the harpoon is just spectacular!
Then throw in some crazy desert dust storms, in the tight Arkham style combat... Everyone should play this game and you can probably pick it up for 5 bucks or less!
I absolutely LOVE the beef between Doom/Sam/Duke🤣
For me the one that takes the cake is DMC : Devil May Cry in the first mission where Dante watches himself in a mirror after a white wig randomly went on his head saying: "Not in a million years". This one not only mocks previous Devil May Cry games but the whole community! That was completely bonkers!!
I love waking up then seeing you guys upload it’s cool
Man bulletstorm was a jam, wished they had a sequel.
You should do a video on the "from the creators of" curse.
Back 4 blood, outer worlds etc. Always try to tie their marketing to prior successful games and never live up to the hype
So glad to have Gameranx in my life
You also had a Tanner in GTA 3 (undercover cop, who was a driver for the Yakuza) and was given a female running animation.
Mission info:
"Our source in the police has informed us that one of our drivers is a strangely animated undercover cop! He's more or less useless out of his car, so we've tagged it with a tracer. Make him bleed!" - Asuka Kasen
What is it poking fun at?
@@jarredlucas4000 Seriously? Same as Nr 3: Tanner from Driver.
Actualy, there are several references of duke you missed in serious sam, like in second encounter at the beggingi of first level, you can find a phone booth, and sam will have a conversation, something like "when will he be done"" "he will be done when he is done". In serious sam 2, when starting new game, in fisrt cut scene when council teleports him to them, he will ask something like "why me?", and they say "we alredy send blond guy, but he is taking for ever".
GTA 3 also had a mission called "Two--faced Tanner". In the cutscene, Asuka says, "Our source in the police has informed us that one of our drivers is a strangely animated undercover cop! He's more or less useless out of his car, so we've tagged it with a tracer. Make him bleed!"
Bad Company 2 had great references to Modern Warfare 2 during the campaign. Making fun of the snowmobiles and the heart beat sensors
Dan Hibiki in the Street Fighter series. Back in the day there was a huge rivalry between Capcom and SNK when it came to fighting games. Capcom thought that SNK's Art of Fighting was a knock off of their Street Fighter franchise. In response, they created a joke character, Dan Hibiki, in Street Fighter Alpha, who had a similar move set to Ryo and Robert from Art of fighting, but was way weak with a "pose" taunt that you can do continuously.
Oh, this is a really good choice.
MGS4 did it the best taking a shot at Xbox 360 with the "time to change the disc" scene. Can't believe you left that out.
Awesome video🎉 loving the new upload timings
Yay! Thank you!
Also in San Andreas there's a billboard that pokes fun at True Crime. It says something like True Grime: Street Sweeper or something like that
the reason i loved COD Ghosts was bc of clan wars... there was an actual COD GHOSTS app where you have to get points and capture zones against other clans. it had never been done before and was never done again... but for those that played it knows how fun it was.
Ghost Recon Wildlands had another MGS reference when you finish the Sam Fisher mission, Operation Watchman. He starts "reminiscing" about Snake.
The Witcher 2 making fun of Assassin's Creed when Geralt finds a dead assassin that died from jumping from a really high up tower into a bed of hay will be my favorite Made Fun moment.
"Back in the day in like 2015" I can feel myself deteriorating bro 👴💀
Silent Hill 3 poked fun at Silent Hill 2. If you try to make Heather reach into a filthy toilet, she refuses and wonders who would do that. James Sunderland hilariously would stick his hand into anything gross.
RE8 poked fun at RE5. Heisenberg refers to Chris Redfield as "that boulder-punching a-hole" referencing the iconic boulder scene in the volcano.
You forgot about Postal 2 humiliating Postal 3 (not the other way). You have an achievement in Postal 2 (Steam version) if you find a copy of Postal 3 and pee on it.
Mad Max is one of those few Open World games like Spider-Man that you don’t matter the map being too map because traversing it is the most fun part about the game.
I feel like Borderlands 2 could be it’s own list.
Great video as always, thx guys for making these daily
I’ve never heard of Duty Calls but I’m here for it 😂
It's not the biggest roast but in Cyberpunk 2077 the first time you jump in to a brain dance and Judy asks you to "Calibrate" it by looking around V asks "do we need to do this song and dance every time?" Which is a nod to the old camera control parts of almost every FPS in the early 2000's
Another amazing list. Just what I need before going to work. Thanks Gameranx
One of my favorite Duke Nukem quotes I still say is when he walks up to a Duke Nukem arcade game and instead of playing he just says, "Haven't got time to play with myself" 🍻💨🤘
Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair.
There are blockades in the hub world by Trouser the snake, which you can only open by paying with coins you find throughout the levels. You know what those blockades are called? PAYWALLS!
The same in GTA San Andreas where they had a ''game war'' with the True Crime franchaise and in the Wrong side of the tracks or ''All we had to do, was following the damn train, CJ'' Mission. There is a sign of a garbage truck throw out garbage in a junkyard and the signs also says '' Get rid of old rubbish, fast. True Crime street cleaners.'' That was back in 2004. nearly 20 years ago. Damn I am old.
In Blood (1997) Duke Nukem hangs on chain from the ceiling upside down and Caleb says “Shake it, baby!” (D3D Red Light district level reference).
Witcher 2 had a dig at Assassins Creed, with Geralt seeing an Assassin dead next to a hay bale saying to himself "They'll never learn..."
😂
A dead Geralt from The witcher, found in Dragon Age 2.
I think it might be more of an hommage rather than a humiliation, though.
This was patched out, but I loved the scene in the beginning of the Witcher 2 where you come upon a cart full of hay and a guy laying dead next to it in a hooded white robe.
Geralt quipped: "they never learn" lol
Remember that in the teaser of MGS ground zeroes, Snake climbs the cliff with Sam fisher night vision goggles.
GTA 3 had a mission mentioning a crooked detective named Tanner who is, "useless out of his car."
Bullet storm is a game i can continuously go back to and enjoy, definitely underrated in my eyes
There's also a part in Ghost Recon Wildlands where you have a mission with Sam Fisher references Solid Snake. That one wasn't so much humilitation, though, more like a tip of the hat.
Oh, I'm dead. Increasing the drama of the story. You cannot stop me unless the game goes into slow motion for some reason and I become easy to shoot.
♫♪PHONE DESTROYER!♫♪
Thanks for saying that about Chaos Theory. VINDICATED!!!!!!!
Omfg I flat out forgot about duty calls! Remember that shit coming out and seeing that rank up "Master Sergeant Shooter Person" 😂
I have never heard of Duty Calls. That is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
In-game disses go way back. I recall "Manic Miner" (1984) on the ZX Spectrum had a level called "Eugene's Lair" - which was full of toilets and had a unique enemy like an egghead with glasses. It was a diss on rival coder Eugene Evans. And the sequel "Jet Set Willy" (1985) featured a diss of a rival dev company called Imagine (slogan "Nomen Ludi" - the name of the game) with a screen called "Nomen Luni" (see what they did there?) which featured Imagine's mascot aeroplane crashed into the roof of the mansion where the game takes place.
That one was more elaborate because the crashed aeroplane graphic spanned a couple of screens and due to the game's blocky non-scrolling 8-bit nature it wasn't obvious what it was supposed to be until you saw the screens side-by-side on a map of the game.
I just gotta say, that's not madd dogg playing video games in his house, that's just a random goon/guard hahaha
“Ever wondered to stop”? 😂
The Timmy Vermicelli memes are actually loved a lot in the Vice City fanbase lol
