How did we end up so emotionally invested in this alien that looks like a binbag full of meatballs? Here are the dumbest things that tugged your heartstrings, somehow. Enjoy!

Thought I would share about an accidental companion I "teamed" with in Fallout 3. I was doing the Mothership DLC when a ghoul spawned, that got really messed up by RNG. This poor guy, whom I affectionately named Charlie, spawned without arms. I first met Charlie when he introduced himself by running up and growling in my face, then retreating. Without arms, it seems all Charlie could do was growl, a trait I soon came to consider enduring. He followed me throughout the rest of the DlC, becoming a welcome companion. I was devastated when upon finishing the DLC, Charlie did not follow me back to the Wasteland. Here's to you, Charlie, may you live long and prosper.
My f!Tabris kept that ring, despite the fact that she never wanted to marry that guy who she's sure was fine. It was a reminder of the cruelty mankind is capable of and what could happen if she ever let yer guard down.
"If there's one thing scarier than a zombie, it's a clown. And if there's one thing scarier than both those things, it's a zombie clown." Ellen's never seen the teletubbies mod...
For me, this one was easy: the cuddlefish from Subnautica. That game could get really heavy at times, and it was the only companion and interaction with anything intelligent you’d have all game. When I finally said my goodbye to that fish before leaving the planet, I cried some ugly tears.
I have nothing funny or witty to input on this, but since there are two people named Mar in the replies I thought I'd chip in so there are two Max's to balance things out, I got your back Original Max aka Max Littlewood.
I had a Death Knight in World of Warcraft who saved all his noteworthy weapons (anything Rare or above), spending most of his bank space on this endeavor.
I got weirdly attached to the first camel in Assassin's Creed Origins. I named it Titus and I loved him with all my heart. The way it would destroy every fence when I called it was just adorable
@@deathbykonami5487 - I loved CC and I finished Portal. I don't remember what I did to get past That Place, though. I did... I did... I did something to get by without burning it to a horrible crisp which smelled of soot and tears - and it sounded like bacon. I did... I did some.... SOME... THING!!
The Mako in Mass Effect! I don't know why but I grew so attached to it and exploring the galaxy even with it's unruly controls and ended up missing it in the following games
@@spacejesus6581 I think it's just a lack of diversity. Every planet you went to was largely barren and it wasn't always clear what the Mako could or couldn't climb. It was also forced into most of the missions, sometimes in a way that felt like padding. I would have preferred if it were more like Borderlands 2 vehicle - various points of interest on a map and better path design.
@@spacejesus6581 yeah probably and I guess as J 7041 said there wasn't an awful lot to explore outisde of getting to the storyline and quests. But after you got used to the controls you could have some genuine fun mucking about in it!
Yeah... finally conquering apparently the biggest mountain on a random planet... DRIVING ALMOST VERTICALLY UP IT... which shouldnt have been possible but I guess.. mass effects.. Sometimes giving it a tad too much gas and driving full speed off the edge thinking the summit was alot bigger then it was and crashing at the bottom dealing some 95% flaming damage and needing to repair but somehow lived.. ah... the good ole days

I actually had Seaman. Though you could speed up the process by resetting the Sega DC and going into the system settings and moving the day forward one day at a time and mature him faster that way. Or simply set the year forward and the game assumes you neglected him for a whole year and you return to an empty tank save for the cobwebs and Seaman bones littering the bottom. On a side note... RIP Leonard Nimoy.
I became super attached to The Book of the Dragonborn found in Helgen Keep. When ever I start a playthrough, I always make sure to grab it before escaping (and it never leaves my inventory...ever)
@@brosephnoonan223 No there are lots of copies and I have collected Every Single one. I even had a mod that I can make a shrine with and I always make a shrine for the Book. haha
I was being overdramatic with my mates once and spun a story about involuntarily killing the first enemy in self defense, I took his cuirass and honestly became attached, he was my first kill, maybe if I had said something all this useless and heartless carnage wouldnt have happened...
I definitely always kept the wedding ring on my character's person on every playthrough of Fallout 4. I like to think it's such a powerful reminder of your previous life before the bombs dropped, and what happened in Vault 111. Many people here say they gave their spouse's ring to whomever they romanced during the game but I didn't even have the heart to do that. I always have my character wear the ring they have equipped from the beginning, and my in-game deceased spouse's ring in my inventory. I even do this with the mod Start Me Up. It alters the main story a bit since it let's you start as a wastelander of some some sort outside of the Vault (raider, drunk, NCR Ranger, etc.) where your first quest is to explore the rumors of something happening in Vault 111. There, you'll find Nate/Nora on the ground dead, on the way out of the Vault (which is extra sad given what they just witnessed), with a holotape with the scuffle with Kellog. I looted the wedding ring but refused to sell it nor give it to a companion in those runs, too, because I still feel that same sentiment of it being a reminder of what happened here, especially because you become a proxy for Nate/Nora trying to make sure to find their son so that they didn't die in vain.
*Sees Sea-Man* NOPE. NOOOOOPE. nopey-nope-nope McNopey from Nopetown, Nopania. I've binged Nightmare on Elm Street over 3 days already, I do *not* need to add that to my nightmares. *Sees Sea-Man mating* I SAID NOPE! NOPE MEANS NOPE!
I really love the music blasting from the helicopter in Metal Gear. It's just such a little detail and they must paid a lot of money for the licensed music. And to be honest no player would have missed it if it wouldn't be there. By the way: Rebel yell! is the way to go for this issue.
I've become attached to the boots of my character's mother in Dragon Age: Origins. Even though they don't help me anymore, I can't bring myself to sell them
The ring, the boots *and* the noble clothing you get after stabbing that b*tch in the face. Good thing I use mods, or I would be dead several times over. Though I would look fabulous as I go down...
I'm kinda attached in a weird way. Like my character will toss out old armor like nothing. Until that reflective amulet you get at TToSA and of course the Warden's Promise. But I always keep Alistair with the Runic Worry Token and Duncan's sheild the moment I get it. Zevran keeps these random shitty Dalish Gloves I gave him and the also shitty but slightly less so Antivan boots. And Sten has literally never gotten his sword back in my worlds cause I can't find the things. Lol
@@VoraciousRdr In Fallout 4, I kept that stupid wedding ring in my inventory for the entire game. If it weighed any more than it did I was gonna sell it.
"Stop dancing you bastards!" I love Icarus in AC Odyssey. I get this weird sense of pride when I'm in a battle and he swoops down to attack, trying to protect me. Such a good birdie :)
Where are the turrets from portal? Ok, they are trying to kill me but have you heard them talk? And they even understand it when you try to destroy them! I went out of my way not to hurt a single one of them because they are too cute.
Right? I can't ever have any companion but Codsworth. It just seemed fitting given that he and the protagonist shared a history and had lost the same things. He was always both the pessimistic devil and magnanimous angel on my shoulders.
Codsworth is that older figure in the game that always gives me comfort; relishing the glory of the current days as I succeed in my quests while also reminiscing about the old days, using those memories to keep us going.
The starting equipment in RPG's. I don't know what it is but even after finding better weapons and armor, I always keep my starting gear during a new adventure.
I did that with the first leather cap you get in Golden Sun Dark Dawn. Like. I'll have all this armor that gives 20+ defense and sitting at the very end of my inventory is that banged up leather cap Issac gave Matthew. I like to imagine he puts it on to sleep when he's feeling homesick (and is relatively safe like in an inn)
Same, I don't know which game did it. but at some point I got conditioned to get my starting gear...b/c you never know it might be part of an upgrade to super gear
I became attached to the "goo-wery" item in AC odyssey... you can easily sell it for an easy 300 gold... but the little girl who made it broke my heart, and 250 hours into the game it's the only item in my sellable inventory ❤
What about the companion cube from Portal? Not even a line of dialogue and I carried that inanimate buddy around like an overly inebriated best friend on a Friday night.
Dragon Age 2. Avelines shild. It's quite bad and you quickly get something better but if you sell it you get a little piece of dialog later in the game where she bitterly points out how you've sold it for petty cash though she'd gotten it from her dad. Never sold it in any other playthrough. The guilt I tell you, the guilt!
I didn't sell it in one playthrough but she's still bitter. I understand the sentiment, but the game never let me return it to her except by equipping it on her.
What seriously? I never knew that, cause I..Never sell my companion's stuff, even if I've given them something new I keep the original. I mean, it's not the MC's *to* sell.
1.) Because Frost was my beautiful & daring baby boy. 2.) If I remember right, you get Shadowmere after doing the Dark Brotherhood questline, which I didn't do.
Outside Xtra: “Crazy how we got so attached to a wedding ring in Fallout 4!” Me, who sold both rings immediately so I could get some leather armor: “Yeah. Craaaazy....”
Companion Cube from Portal? I mean it kinda makes sense that you get attached to it given how isolated the game is supposed to feel and that you're literally supposed to get attached to it but still...it's a cube...
One of the other Zelda game has it that the fairies are actually tiny winged people and the glowing bubble is their magic aura. :p It's like in Peter Pan where distance shots of Tink are a yellow orb.
In one of my Fallout 4 playthroughs I gave the wedding ring to Piper after I maxxed her affinity and it gave some extra dialog. I always keep both, and collect as many vault suits and red dresses and power armor as I can find for some reason.
My vote's for the Pawns in Dragon's Dogma. They've got the brain cells of mushroom soup, and the survival instincts to match, but I tell you, by the end of the campaign, I was ready to carry them out a la Saving Private Ryan and kill anything that threatened them. Alejandro, you may have been naked and kinda useless, but I will never forget you.
Same here. I got too attached that I was afraid to start a new game because I would lose my Pawn (I never play online so yeah). When I did I just remade my Pawn because I felt too sad without him. Yeah... I was that attached.
@@LadyofDarkness1363 Without spoiling, there's a New Game + where you can carry over your Pawn with you, stats and all; you still have the option of re-customizing them, but that's up to you.
@@AlwaysANemesis I dropped the game midway because life happened, and it's been about a year now since I last played, but I do recall starting an NG+. I just don't remember what happened during character customization, if what I remade was my Arisen or his Pawn, or both. Thank you very much, though :)
See's title of the video. "Oh hey a video about the companion cube, and a few less memorable things to fill in the rest of the list." Watches list of "Beware for spoilers for the following games", expecting portal to be there. Does not see portal listed. Makes comment describing the pain of not seeing it featured.
Well the companion cube isint a dumb thing to get attached to ok!? I love it and it's my bestest friend and it will always be there for me and you're stupid and I hate you!
Seriously, how is FLUDD who talks to you and carries conversationsm helps you throughout the game, and has a death scene considered a weird thing to grow fond of but not the Companion Cube????
First thought when I saw the title of this video was of my poor companion cube. I miss her terribly. Anybody else try to gently lay a hand on the graffiti drawing of it in the secret areas of the lab? Just me? Ok
On my first playthrough of Fallout 4, I sold the wedding ring so quickly! Those caps are crucial early in the game! Every playthrough after that, however, I held onto it.
I have never left Gnome Chompski behind. My friend and I were doing Dark Carnival on Expert, Realism mode, and he was a little upset that I was taking the Gnome with me. =3
I was interpreting it as if Pequod was the call sign for the mission helicopter. So if the pilot died, the next pilot would just take over the mission chopper handle for simplicity and continuity.
I'm really glad to see I'm not the only person who attaches complex stories and sentiment to random video game objects. Your sword will always have a place of honor in my armory, Skjor!
What about Toriel from undertale You practically only know her for Ten minutes only for her to Try to keep you with her and not let you out But you feel bad leaving/killing her
Nope, nope The first thing you see in the underground acts like a loving mother, you are 100% meant to feel attached to her, otherwise everything about her is pointless
@@Konpekikaminari the first thing you see is a flower trying to rip apart your flesh But I don't remember a loving mother throwing fireballs at me just because I wanted to go outside
@@doomplayer8652 When you get to a point when your health gets so low one of Toriel's fireballs is enough to kill you, she starts to actively avoid hitting you.
I swear I have the most overdeveloped sentimentality you've ever seen, even when it's actively detrimental to player experience. Catch me hobbling around Skyrim/Dragon Age/Witcher 3 on the brink of being over-encumbered because I'm incapable of dropping Aveline's templar shield or Geralt's original armour set, even though I'm barely able to carry the weapons and armour that I actually need to complete the game -.-
I collect EVERYTHING, and even if it's utterly useless, but it's unique in some way, shape, or form, you can bet your nuka-cola I'm going to keep that Silver Shroud gun prop.
I started picking up boxes in fallout games and walking around with em to have infinite space even if it was making me gave to walk slowly and blocking my view
I thought that too Ben Ridge - but then I suspect it's TOO obvious because the game compels you to become attached to it and makes you feel guilty for incinerating it. Several times.
Because the companion cube is literally filled with a human soul. Meaning it's alive, sentient, the same race (human) as the player. So it's not a dumb thing since it's literally a human being, trapped inside a cube that just gets disposed of in an incinerator
@@jackcutter2 Stop taking matpat videos as fact. This theory has a ton of flaws. Just because some guy on the internet has a theory doesn't mean it's true.
Any weapon in Zelda Breath of the Wild; With the durability and damage some swords can have, you'd be forgiven for absolutely loving a certain weapon, but once you get reminded that your weapon is about to break...
At the beginning of Fallout 4, you can open your spouse's fridge and take his/her wedding ring to remember him/her by. Although, having 2 wedding rings won't help you any more than 1.
I will admit, I got quite attached to the red Volkswagen Corrado you drive at the start of the first Forza Horizon. I even replicated it in the other games, like it was in my garage the whole time.
The things I was most emotional about was the Crowbar in the half-life 2 episode 1. I got so unbelievably happy when Barney gave you a crowbar back after not having it since the end of half life 2. Also, the Mako. I was so sad it wasn’t available in future games. I loved driving that piece of shit vehicle straight up a mountain. It was lovely to use. I miss it.
Defiitely the King of Red Lions from Wind Waker for me. I liked him find in the story mode but Link's forlorn grasp towards him after the climactic boss fight is one of the most heartbreaking moments in all of Zelda!
I'm glad the baby metroid got mentioned in a list finally. I brought it up in the comments section of the Saddest Boss Battles, then was sad it didn't make it into the Commentator Edition. I really did cry human tears over this weird cute alien! I wouldn't consider it dumb to get attached to though. It sacrificed itself for you and is most likely sentient.
A video about things we got strangely attached to in games without mentioning Portal and the Companion Cube once?!? Oh.... the Companion Cube... How much I miss you 😭
How about the Master Sword itself? Learning in Skyward Sword that Fi's a sentient being, trapped within, then finding the sword in absolute dissaray by the time of Breath of the Wild. Let me tell you, hearing Fi's iconic beeps upon completing the final Challenge of the Sword was a heavy emotional moment for me.
That made me smile too. :) ...I don’t regret joking about chucking the Master Sword into the nearest river when I first played the game though, it’s still a funny idea.
I'm not sure the wedding ring one from Fallout 4 applies to me. On one hand, I DID keep wearing my wedding ring, on the other hand, I'm carrying the gun Kellogg used to kill Nora, only I've customized it and renamed it "The Widower Maker."
@@thedyldillpicklerockstarfo9067 Tell that to GLaDOS. She certainly enjoys calling you stupid for it in #2. Even at the end, it just gets chucked out the elevator a-la "Take your stupid cube and go!"
We could have talked about how Lamar is named after Hedy Lamarr, or the fact that HL2 also had a garden gnome, OR we could have included Bianca's ring from KCD. But no. We got Seaman... trauma.
How about the Pods from Nier Automata? Between their calming voices and the ability to pet/fistbump them, you always end up finding yourself overly attached to what are basically Siri but if it was a helpful little floating box with tiny little arms and machine guns for faces.
How did we end up so emotionally invested in this alien that looks like a binbag full of meatballs? Here are the dumbest things that tugged your heartstrings, somehow. Enjoy!

😂😂😂 just noticed this, your spot on with that observation.
I definitely always kept the wedding ring on my character's person on every playthrough of Fallout 4. I like to think it's such a powerful reminder of your previous life before the bombs dropped, and what happened in Vault 111. Many people here say they gave their spouse's ring to whomever they romanced during the game but I didn't even have the heart to do that. I always have my character wear the ring they have equipped from the beginning, and my in-game deceased spouse's ring in my inventory.
I even do this with the mod Start Me Up. It alters the main story a bit since it let's you start as a wastelander of some some sort outside of the Vault (raider, drunk, NCR Ranger, etc.) where your first quest is to explore the rumors of something happening in Vault 111. There, you'll find Nate/Nora on the ground dead, on the way out of the Vault (which is extra sad given what they just witnessed), with a holotape with the scuffle with Kellog. I looted the wedding ring but refused to sell it nor give it to a companion in those runs, too, because I still feel that same sentiment of it being a reminder of what happened here, especially because you become a proxy for Nate/Nora trying to make sure to find their son so that they didn't die in vain.

At least you weren't eating when it came up.
😶i never forgot this moment
@@tokatstorm9270 i was 😰
So. much. nope.
Bluebell in rdr2. I made the grave mistake of having him as my mount in the last moments of Arthur`s story. Double heartbreak 😭
i tried to spare buell by stabling him thinking john could keep him as a horse, but then the stable must have sold him or something
"I mean, Professor E. Gadd also made the Poltergust ghost-vacuum from Luigi's Mansion -- how come *that* thing isn't sentient?"
Gooigi?
Outside Xtra: the wedding ring from fallout 4 is an object we ended the game with.
Me, in diamond city selling both rings: wat
I always keep both rings, and give the one that used to belong to my character's spouse to a new romantic partner. Usually Kate.
I didn't really care, but I was sad when the partner died.
I really love the music blasting from the helicopter in Metal Gear. It's just such a little detail and they must paid a lot of money for the licensed music. And to be honest no player would have missed it if it wouldn't be there. By the way: Rebel yell! is the way to go for this issue.
I've become attached to the boots of my character's mother in Dragon Age: Origins. Even though they don't help me anymore, I can't bring myself to sell them
It was the wedding ring for me even though my character totally didn't want to get married I couldn't get rid of it
The ring, the boots *and* the noble clothing you get after stabbing that b*tch in the face. Good thing I use mods, or I would be dead several times over. Though I would look fabulous as I go down...
I'm kinda attached in a weird way. Like my character will toss out old armor like nothing. Until that reflective amulet you get at TToSA and of course the Warden's Promise. But I always keep Alistair with the Runic Worry Token and Duncan's sheild the moment I get it. Zevran keeps these random shitty Dalish Gloves I gave him and the also shitty but slightly less so Antivan boots. And Sten has literally never gotten his sword back in my worlds cause I can't find the things. Lol
@@VoraciousRdr In Fallout 4, I kept that stupid wedding ring in my inventory for the entire game. If it weighed any more than it did I was gonna sell it.
I had the noble origin and kept my family sword on me through the entire game. I was still using it as a weapon long after it became obsolete.
"Stop dancing you bastards!" I love Icarus in AC Odyssey. I get this weird sense of pride when I'm in a battle and he swoops down to attack, trying to protect me. Such a good birdie :)
Bird? What bird? >> Icarus lands on your head
I got attached to potato in portal 2... Even though she tried to kill me in portal 1... All those dialogue with her former boss were touching...
Carolyn was awesome. :D
One of video games best frienemies.
Potat0s
Where are the turrets from portal? Ok, they are trying to kill me but have you heard them talk? And they even understand it when you try to destroy them! I went out of my way not to hurt a single one of them because they are too cute.
+ "I don't hate you" is a line, for a sweetheart.
12:31 alright, so the ring is the Sole Survivor's last link to their old life which included a robot butler.
So... Does said robot butler not count?
Right? I can't ever have any companion but Codsworth. It just seemed fitting given that he and the protagonist shared a history and had lost the same things. He was always both the pessimistic devil and magnanimous angel on my shoulders.
Codsworth is that older figure in the game that always gives me comfort; relishing the glory of the current days as I succeed in my quests while also reminiscing about the old days, using those memories to keep us going.
Humanity doesn't do enough hovering. It does do plenty of screeching, as someone who works in catering can attest.
me: sees Super Mario Sunshine
also me: oh no, Luke needs to undergo his Fludd trauma again
The starting equipment in RPG's. I don't know what it is but even after finding better weapons and armor, I always keep my starting gear during a new adventure.
I did that with the first leather cap you get in Golden Sun Dark Dawn. Like. I'll have all this armor that gives 20+ defense and sitting at the very end of my inventory is that banged up leather cap Issac gave Matthew. I like to imagine he puts it on to sleep when he's feeling homesick (and is relatively safe like in an inn)
Same, I don't know which game did it. but at some point I got conditioned to get my starting gear...b/c you never know it might be part of an upgrade to super gear
"How come that thing isn't sentient?"
Gooigi: *aight imma head in*
I became attached to the "goo-wery" item in AC odyssey... you can easily sell it for an easy 300 gold... but the little girl who made it broke my heart, and 250 hours into the game it's the only item in my sellable inventory ❤
man I forgot Sunshine was fully voiced
I just remembered FLUDD
What about the companion cube from Portal? Not even a line of dialogue and I carried that inanimate buddy around like an overly inebriated best friend on a Friday night.
Dragon Age 2. Avelines shild. It's quite bad and you quickly get something better but if you sell it you get a little piece of dialog later in the game where she bitterly points out how you've sold it for petty cash though she'd gotten it from her dad. Never sold it in any other playthrough. The guilt I tell you, the guilt!
I didn't sell it in one playthrough but she's still bitter. I understand the sentiment, but the game never let me return it to her except by equipping it on her.
What seriously? I never knew that, cause I..Never sell my companion's stuff, even if I've given them something new I keep the original. I mean, it's not the MC's *to* sell.
The shield belonged to her late husband Wesley who died in the prologue to the blight
I give them new equipment, but I always keep the original in the inventor
10:04 "he wuvs u"... a minute later "oh shit, he ded"
Skyrim. Meeko. My god, he's a good boy. Also very fragile with a level cap of 25 and a piddly 250 hp.
First time Meeko's life was short, brutal and I accidentally took the pour things soul.
Now I'm no cheater, so I had to live with that.
I was genuinely upset at my virtual spouse and child when they started calling Meeko a "stupid dog." Good grounds for divorce, that.
Meeko and Frost the horse for me! A big reason why I don’t think I finished the game, I was too busy trying to keep them alive.
Why didn’t you just use Shadowmere? She has a ton of hp, regenerates hp quickly and respawns after ten days.
1.) Because Frost was my beautiful & daring baby boy.
2.) If I remember right, you get Shadowmere after doing the Dark Brotherhood questline, which I didn't do.
Mimer's severed head in God of War.
Loved the stories he told when sailing.
Outside Xtra: “Crazy how we got so attached to a wedding ring in Fallout 4!”
Me, who sold both rings immediately so I could get some leather armor: “Yeah. Craaaazy....”
Companion Cube from Portal? I mean it kinda makes sense that you get attached to it given how isolated the game is supposed to feel and that you're literally supposed to get attached to it but still...it's a cube...
I got way more attached to Potato GladOS than the companion cube. Straight in the incinerator when the level was done :P
It's not a "dumb thing" though. There's literally a human soul(s) inside a companion cube.
Navi. So incredibly annoying, but as soon as our mission to save Hyrule is complete, she leaves without a word. Wait, come back! Listen!
One of the other Zelda game has it that the fairies are actually tiny winged people and the glowing bubble is their magic aura. :p It's like in Peter Pan where distance shots of Tink are a yellow orb.
In one of my Fallout 4 playthroughs I gave the wedding ring to Piper after I maxxed her affinity and it gave some extra dialog. I always keep both, and collect as many vault suits and red dresses and power armor as I can find for some reason.
My vote's for the Pawns in Dragon's Dogma. They've got the brain cells of mushroom soup, and the survival instincts to match, but I tell you, by the end of the campaign, I was ready to carry them out a la Saving Private Ryan and kill anything that threatened them.
Alejandro, you may have been naked and kinda useless, but I will never forget you.
Same here. I got too attached that I was afraid to start a new game because I would lose my Pawn (I never play online so yeah). When I did I just remade my Pawn because I felt too sad without him. Yeah... I was that attached.
@@LadyofDarkness1363 Without spoiling, there's a New Game + where you can carry over your Pawn with you, stats and all; you still have the option of re-customizing them, but that's up to you.
@@AlwaysANemesis I dropped the game midway because life happened, and it's been about a year now since I last played, but I do recall starting an NG+. I just don't remember what happened during character customization, if what I remade was my Arisen or his Pawn, or both. Thank you very much, though :)
This dude has the same speech pattern as Jontron himself, its a bit unsettling
"good news everyone, the gnome is fine", "That's it, you're off the team"!!
Pequod is a legend
However for me he has a habit of dropping me off near an enemy BTR and getting himself shot down
See's title of the video.
"Oh hey a video about the companion cube, and a few less memorable things to fill in the rest of the list."
Watches list of "Beware for spoilers for the following games", expecting portal to be there.
Does not see portal listed.
Makes comment describing the pain of not seeing it featured.
Well the companion cube isint a dumb thing to get attached to ok!? I love it and it's my bestest friend and it will always be there for me and you're stupid and I hate you!
I have my companion cube on my desk thank you very much.... She and I are happy together, -crys as I eat my lie cake-
Seriously, how is FLUDD who talks to you and carries conversationsm helps you throughout the game, and has a death scene considered a weird thing to grow fond of but not the Companion Cube????
First thought when I saw the title of this video was of my poor companion cube. I miss her terribly. Anybody else try to gently lay a hand on the graffiti drawing of it in the secret areas of the lab? Just me? Ok
Metroid. Metroid is more important.
COMPANION CUBE! I will never forget you!
This is a list of dumbest things, not of the most eloquent, well developed characters to whom we got attached.
@@doctorwhouse3881 True, but I always found him a bit of a square though...
@@respectableaf9061 , a square? Nah, it's a very 3 dimensional character.
I honestly thought Companion Cube would be on this list
your profile picture upsets me
On my first playthrough of Fallout 4, I sold the wedding ring so quickly! Those caps are crucial early in the game!
Every playthrough after that, however, I held onto it.
Trollololo, the Redanian soldier Rock Troll from Witcher 3!
Aw, I love that guy! Little murdery sweetheart that he is, bless him.
I actually love all the rock trolls in Witcher 3. Especially wham-a-wham.
The rock trolls are so miss under stood and I loved them
I have never left Gnome Chompski behind. My friend and I were doing Dark Carnival on Expert, Realism mode, and he was a little upset that I was taking the Gnome with me. =3
I was interpreting it as if Pequod was the call sign for the mission helicopter. So if the pilot died, the next pilot would just take over the mission chopper handle for simplicity and continuity.
12:28 To be fair you still get to keep Codsworth, even if he's still stressed about trying to wax the nuclear fallout-tainted floors :-D
I'm really glad to see I'm not the only person who attaches complex stories and sentiment to random video game objects. Your sword will always have a place of honor in my armory, Skjor!
me: sees wedding ring
also me: this sells for over 200 caps *sells it*
You sick bastard

Ten minutes only for her to
Try to keep you with her and not let you out
But you feel bad leaving/killing her
Nope, nope
The first thing you see in the underground acts like a loving mother, you are 100% meant to feel attached to her, otherwise everything about her is pointless

But I don't remember a loving mother throwing fireballs at me just because I wanted to go outside
@@doomplayer8652 When you get to a point when your health gets so low one of Toriel's fireballs is enough to kill you, she starts to actively avoid hitting you.
@@Aska2468 but she still can kill you I never remember my mom almost killed me
@@doomplayer8652 From what I remember, she only kills you, accidentally, if you *really* want to die, so it's more like you're killing yourself
The silverballers from hitman, exactly the same as every other silenced pistol, but I will restart a mission if I forget to equip the silverballers.
I loved feeding and swimming with my pet slaughter fishes in Skyrim.
I swear I have the most overdeveloped sentimentality you've ever seen, even when it's actively detrimental to player experience. Catch me hobbling around Skyrim/Dragon Age/Witcher 3 on the brink of being over-encumbered because I'm incapable of dropping Aveline's templar shield or Geralt's original armour set, even though I'm barely able to carry the weapons and armour that I actually need to complete the game -.-
Collect-a-thon games always send me looking for weight limit cheats - hate dropping inventory just because there's something new to pick up.
I always keep my shackles and rags on me in every Elder Scrolls game, as a reminder of my humble beginnings, so that I don't get too arrogant.
I collect EVERYTHING, and even if it's utterly useless, but it's unique in some way, shape, or form, you can bet your nuka-cola I'm going to keep that Silver Shroud gun prop.
I started picking up boxes in fallout games and walking around with em to have infinite space even if it was making me gave to walk slowly and blocking my view

Please tell me I'm not the only one that got attached to my orc followers in Middle Earth: Shadow of War
I was pretty attached to Ratbag.
@@theQuestion626 yea, Ratbag definitely had his moments :D
I'm way to attached to them.
I did too so don't worry
The metroid reacts to your warning alarms when they go off. It recognizes it's imprint on you.
I wonder if Noam Chomsky actually knows that a gnome in l4d2 has been named after him
The screaming husk head from the Mass Effect 3 Leviathan DLC! 🤣
That thing kept scaring my poor little Space Hamster though!
How is this list complete without the companion cube from Portal? I feel betrayed...I will have to have words with my therapist cube.
THERAPIST CUBE?!
I thought that too Ben Ridge - but then I suspect it's TOO obvious because the game compels you to become attached to it and makes you feel guilty for incinerating it. Several times.
Iain Meldrum - true
Because the companion cube is literally filled with a human soul. Meaning it's alive, sentient, the same race (human) as the player. So it's not a dumb thing since it's literally a human being, trapped inside a cube that just gets disposed of in an incinerator
@@jackcutter2 Stop taking matpat videos as fact. This theory has a ton of flaws. Just because some guy on the internet has a theory doesn't mean it's true.
The Spider drone from Spider-Man Ps4
It's so small and it's doing such a good job! It's trying so hard!
Keep doing your best spider drone
Such a good spider boi
You missed pointing out the pun in Lamarr's name, obviously named for Hedy Lamarr. A good name for a headcrab.
That's Hedley!!
That's Hedley!!
Any weapon in Zelda Breath of the Wild; With the durability and damage some swords can have, you'd be forgiven for absolutely loving a certain weapon, but once you get reminded that your weapon is about to break...
At the beginning of Fallout 4, you can open your spouse's fridge and take his/her wedding ring to remember him/her by. Although, having 2 wedding rings won't help you any more than 1.
I will admit, I got quite attached to the red Volkswagen Corrado you drive at the start of the first Forza Horizon. I even replicated it in the other games, like it was in my garage the whole time.
Lisa the plant from Life is Strange. Never have I felt guiltier not watering something properly.
The sad thing is that Lisa dies even if you water it too much though...
Cl4ptr4p in Borderlands 2. after the first 10 minutes of the game, i think it's too quiet without him. bullets on flight don't count, btw...
The Witcher 3
were I took the extra hours to walk everywhere because Roach is precious and needs to be protected at all times
How is the Companion Cube from Portal, the item whose primary objective is get weirdly attached to, not on this list?
I said it too.
Surely Portal's companion cube is the epitome of getting strangely attached to an object?
Don't speak ill of Companion Cube, Companion Cube is not dumb, THERE IS NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT OUR FEELINGS!
Never played Half Life, but my first reaction to seeing Lamarr would be trying to use the Gravity Gun to fire it in the sun
The things I was most emotional about was the Crowbar in the half-life 2 episode 1. I got so unbelievably happy when Barney gave you a crowbar back after not having it since the end of half life 2.
Also, the Mako. I was so sad it wasn’t available in future games. I loved driving that piece of shit vehicle straight up a mountain. It was lovely to use. I miss it.
Defiitely the King of Red Lions from Wind Waker for me. I liked him find in the story mode but Link's forlorn grasp towards him after the climactic boss fight is one of the most heartbreaking moments in all of Zelda!
6:24 she wasnt scared of the zombie clown, she was scared that midnight riders had the word "money" in their song
The Master Ball. I can never bring myself to use it on any Pokemon encounter.
Luke's love for pretty much anything is so adorable! He's so full of love!
I'm glad the baby metroid got mentioned in a list finally. I brought it up in the comments section of the Saddest Boss Battles, then was sad it didn't make it into the Commentator Edition. I really did cry human tears over this weird cute alien! I wouldn't consider it dumb to get attached to though. It sacrificed itself for you and is most likely sentient.
A video about things we got strangely attached to in games without mentioning Portal and the Companion Cube once?!?
Oh.... the Companion Cube... How much I miss you 😭
If it's just a callsign Mike then why does he have the same voice every time???
You must have a very specific skill set to be a diamond dogs pilot
How about the Master Sword itself?
Learning in Skyward Sword that Fi's a sentient being, trapped within, then finding the sword in absolute dissaray by the time of Breath of the Wild.
Let me tell you, hearing Fi's iconic beeps upon completing the final Challenge of the Sword was a heavy emotional moment for me.
That made me smile too. :)
...I don’t regret joking about chucking the Master Sword into the nearest river when I first played the game though, it’s still a funny idea.
I'm not sure the wedding ring one from Fallout 4 applies to me. On one hand, I DID keep wearing my wedding ring, on the other hand, I'm carrying the gun Kellogg used to kill Nora, only I've customized it and renamed it "The Widower Maker."
Say it with me everyone in 3. . . 2. . . 1. . .
COMPANION CUBE!!!
*spacebar*
portle turret oh no okay D:
Terastas it’s not dumb to get attached to tho.
@@thedyldillpicklerockstarfo9067 Tell that to GLaDOS. She certainly enjoys calling you stupid for it in #2. Even at the end, it just gets chucked out the elevator a-la "Take your stupid cube and go!"
We could have talked about how Lamar is named after Hedy Lamarr, or the fact that HL2 also had a garden gnome, OR we could have included Bianca's ring from KCD. But no. We got Seaman... trauma.
How about the Pods from Nier Automata? Between their calming voices and the ability to pet/fistbump them, you always end up finding yourself overly attached to what are basically Siri but if it was a helpful little floating box with tiny little arms and machine guns for faces.
