Not that I've ever done it, because that would be pretty dumb, but how embarrassing would it be to die because you wanted to check if the game had fall damage?
Discount Ostrich " *Boots up the game* Hmmm... I wonder if... *Hop* *Crack* Heey! I broke my... whole body. So yeah! There is fall damage!" -Me. Always
Obilivion: Died while trying to level up my jump skill, because breaking your legs to the point where you just nearly die is the quickest way to do so. So many times.
Jumping into the acid pit at the courthouse in Batman: Arkham City. I don't know what I was expecting to happen. But now Batman is dead and it's all my fault.
depends on how many painkillers you take. I took middle strong one and drank some Vodka. Had a lot of fun that night. And I slept so hard that people put chewing gum in my nose and a Chickenwing in my mouth and I did not wake up. Good times.
Isn't there a section in another Tomb Raider game where Lara dies by getting turned into gold because you climbed onto the hand of Midas? Pretty sure the golden rule when it comes to Midas is don't touch the hand.
I remember watching the video that showed this, forgetting about it, playing Prey, do it by accident trying to see if I can break the game, remembering about it, and then laughing at myself in shame
Yeah The Phantom Pain one was incredibly embarrassing, but not nearly as much as when you take the Fake Death pill in Snake Eater, then forget to take the revival and then die for reals.
When I first played MGS3, I didn't know about the Revival pill and never used the fake death pill. When I got to the Sorrow, it took me weeks to get through him.
Ayan Haider I actually used the Fake Death Pill to forcibly redo an area or reload my save when I was doing my No Alert run. Easily my most valuable item next to the tranq.
My favorite is still romancing Morinth in Mass Effect 2. By the time you have the chance, you already know she's an Ardat-Yakshi, a deadly psychic vampire who kills her mates. What did you think would happen?!
Morrowind. A guy drops out of the sky and dies. He has scrolls and a journal about wanting to fly. What can go wrong? Either "SPLAT!" or ending up in international waters. Somewhere, Azura is face-palming.
Fighting mud crabs with a bow and playing it like early final fantasy games where bows didn't need arrows to work and you just pissed off the entire starting town so nobody's gonna sell you anything.
The point is, you have three such scrolls. If you fire up one, take a leap, and before you crash onto the ground you fire up another one *with less than seven seconds until impact* on the clock, you are going to land safely.
@Robidu1973 Yes! Those scrolls teach you how to think in Morrowind logic. If you just use them without thinking, you die. Figure out the timing or combine with a featherfall spell and they're epic. I usually hung onto them for use during the famous "travel across the map under a vow of silence" pilgrimage quest. If I wanted to mix things up from using the speed levitation blessing you could get from a nearby shrine for that instead. Get clever and the game rewards you. See also: Boots of Blinding Speed + a resist magic spell when equipping them. Anyway, you just reminded me how much I love that game!
What about in new Vegas in the Sierra madres vault, you are very clearly and specifically told never to open this one particular message on the terminal, if you open it the vault seals forever with you inside it.
I did that, and I ended up permanently breaking the DLC in that playthrough by using the TCL console command to escape. I don't have a save from before that, but I'll keep that in mind for future playthroughs.
So if Lara got away with her crimes due to being part of high society, how does Jane get away with her often mentioned "Hobbies" such as being the avatar of the deep ones etc?
Of course not, but then again I was brought up to respect my "Elders" and if I learned anything from Anime, it doesn't pay to be on the wrong end of tentacles.
You don't get more old money than being a representative of the Golden Ones from the eras before time. If that's not "high society" enough for you, her "eyes" are just a pair of monacles held in place by the vacuum force produced by the infinite void of her true form which is housed within her questionably mortal shell.
Regulus Black Eh by that point you only have a few more upgrades to make. Is minorly inconveniencing yourself *really* worth...ok you may be on to something.
biohazard724 Well I disagree because the game isn’t over, it just revives your character to carry on as if nothing happened. Borderlands, like every other game that uses an autosave or checkpoint system, doesn’t have a game over screen
8:50 I remember the last time a omniscient AI told me they were throwing a celebration with cake...didn’t go well then either. GLaD to see AIs are all the same.
I remember my first time playing Disgaea when I lost to the boss at the very beginning of the game. Needless to say it made me feel stupid when all of a sudden the boss himself was surprised he won and gloated while the credits rolled.
It’s not exactly a game over, but in Fallout New Vegas you can ‘bother’ Caesar too much. After asking something 3 times when he has a headache he sicks his entire entourage on you; unless you’re super heavily armed, armored, and have a boatload of chems, you’re dead. Added bonus: your companions are waiting outside & it’s a hard skill check to get meds in, so you’re alone & have no healing.
Darkest Knight yeah, so unless you head there with Boone and Rex with intent to kill you’re probably going to get spanked harder than Africa with The Rains.
Justin Helms Companions aren't even allowed in the tent if you annoy him. So your best option is to run unless you just get hammered and stunned early. Then You're fucked
I actually found a little cheat that SOMEHOW worked when I took cover inside a wagon and just shot at them, all in relative safety, except one of them was right next to the wagon and scored a couple of hits while I was in the wagon, but I managed to kill the entire group from the safety of the wagon before jumping out and killing the one right next to it cuz I couldnt hit him from INSIDE the wagon...I also think we hit each other with Power Gauntlets at the same time and I BARELY survived with like barely 5 hp at the end while HIS corpse went flying in several pieces. XD it was so epic and yet so hilarious at the same time.
Quite the opposite experience if you were a kid in the 80s. But if you were, you're old now which is, unfortunately, worse than having had a tough time with video games at some point :( It's a lose-lose scenario!
My favorite game over is simply refusing the call to adventure in Super Paper Mario. It happens before you even begin to play and the responses you can choose are just so childish XD.
Mass Effect 2 - Suicide Mission If you do all the wrong choices and don't do any of the extra missions you'll kill everyone including yourself on the suicide mission and Joker is the only one who'll survive. Not exactly a Game Over, but a Game Over for your character.
omg i remember the first time i played me2 and i did all the extra missions and made all the right choices just by default bc it felt right. Everyone lived and I didnt even know that they could die until i read about it. i couldnt imagine why anyone would do something different from what i did lmao
"Lara breaks the necks of minimum wage louvre security guards" *shows her throwing a guard to the ground and punching him in the head* Guys those two things arent the same
I swear I thought when they were going with a Laura Croft game and talking about Tomb Raider Legacy (with the T-Rex), I swore they were going to cover the "Midas Touch" game over. There is a statue of Midas. You touch him. Your skin hardens into Gold and you Die. Game Over. I really felt stupid.
@@lilfrostyy8829 I believe she knocks them out. Breaking the vertebrae with a punch requires a lot of force. Above human speed. So I'm sure she didn't kill them.
@@bern9642 you'd be surprised, someone of her talents can (in fact it's actually easy to do it if you're at peak physical condition...just like Lara). Don't believe me? Check the following: medical journals on how much of a hit the human spine can take and the world record for how hard a human can punch. Turns out the latter is a much, much higher number than the first. In fact boxers have to wear the gloves specifically BECAUSE of that particular detail.
@@lilfrostyy8829 There are only seven cervical vertebrae and a damaged vertebrae is not enough to kill someone. There needs severe trauma or separation of the spinal cord. The if the spine is severed between the first, through seventh vertebrae, death is unavoidable due to all brain controlled functions being cut. But people can still survive as quadra/paraplegics for spinal separations below that line or partial separations above. Like Christopher Reeves.
The 'hidden' fourth ending to Mass Effect 3 is one of my favourites. After three epic games spent fighting the Reapers and their indoctrinated minions, Shepard is given a choice - how to end the Reaper cycle, once and for all. The illustrious Commander's solution - "I'll use my gun!" It goes as well as you'd think.
Hey, his gun worked on every other dangerous alien he'd encountered. Okay, sometimes he had access to much bigger guns, but you do what you can with what you get, you know?
That was the first ending I got and therefor the true canonical ending. I don't think I even meant to, it was just "can I use my gun here?" pulls trigger. Instant cutscene of everyone dying. Oops?
Mike: “I stand by my decision.” Stanley Parable narrator: “Which is why I’m subjecting you to the most serious punishment I can think of: 100 billion trillion years standing here in the Serious Room.” Perfect.
my cousin got possibly the dumbest game over in The Last Guardian. got caught by the armor suits, saw the mysterious door he had been trying to open for fifteen minutes opened when the armor suits came close, and let himself be carried through because he thought it was an easter egg. never facepalmed so hard.
Have you ever played a Sierra adventure game? Let me tell you, there's no game over more embarrassing than falling off of a staircase when you're literally one screen from completing the game. Curse you, King's Quest 2...
There are so many possible deaths in the old Sierra games it's impossible to pick any of them for this list. Get locked in a room with a descending ceiling without the one item that can rescue you (which, btw, was thirty screens and eight puzzles ago)? Too bad, that's 90s videogame design for ya! ... Well, actually, there IS one I can think of. In the escape pod in Space Quest 1, there is a middle button on the console that the game tells you is clearly labeled "DO NOT PUSH". Nonetheless, you CAN push the button ... only for the pod to crashland in a different Sierra game and kill you upon impact.
My favourite Sierra death was at the very beginning of Rise of the Dragon, whereby if you leave your apartment without having put your clothes on first, you get arrested for public indecency.
Stratelier Actually, they did cover that Space Quest one in another video. And to be fair, if you went to the winged ones in KQ6 and already had all the items you needed, the game would let you know by having Alexander say "I am ready." when the king warns him about the dangers in the catacombs.
And so the great Fashion wars begun. For too long had Canada been frivolous towards their warcrimes until one day, the world had it's sight tainted one too many times. For honour! For glory! For fashion!
What about the Fallout: New Vegas Dead Money death where the courier gets locked in the vault forever because you read the message that was meant for Vera
Magnus Ballspunch I thought the trapped one was for both Vera and Dean, but then the owner changed his mind and made the second one just for Vera? I may be wrong, its been quite a while since Ive played NV
The pill is just a metaphor. You could moon Morpheaus, and be like, “I’d like to travel to nightmare land now.” And it would be just like taking the red pill.
When I heard “Embarrassing Game Overs”, I thought there’d definitely be a Dark Souls entry. I’m specifically thinking of the original one, when you land on Firelink Shrine. The first NPC you meet is the Crestfallen Warrior, who tells you where to go and what to do. Unless you attack him. Then he goes batsh*t and starts attacking you. At that level, you probably haven’t got a chance, so you’ll probably die, to which he says “How embarrassing. You actually let me do that to you?” in the most smug voice imaginable. When you respawn... He’s right there, still batsh*t. And he’ll continue to be until you either kill him or run away. And if you kill him, he doesn’t respawn. Ever. I personally made this more humiliating, because I had bait him to the edge of a cliff, then fall off. At least he followed me. Now I’ve got 20+ deaths, no idea where to go, and humiliated for the rest of my life.
You know, of all the wrong turns people have made at the start of Dark Souls, that might be the most wrong one I've ever heard. But that certainly makes it a unique experience! I hope you still managed to figure out what to do next. It's a fun game once you find a way to go forward! Also @office chair, exactly how many first time players of Fromsoft-style games are going to be able to parry him consistently enough to whittle him down in their first 5 minutes of Lordran? My guess is, like, maybe 5 or 6 prodigies, but otherwise that's not really viable.
@@theleanbusinessman5431 Yes, he does... but I took the time to beat the Asylum Demon with my bare fists using a Thief on tmy first playthrough and I reallyyyy didn't want to lose my progress there. So... yeah, that was a mess and a half.
Cynical Optimist Thank you for the info my good sir, also, How many hits is it to aggro him?😶🤔 I must know so th-, I must know for Scientific purposes ^_^
What about accidently getting Sokolov killed in Dishonored 2. "Lets see, I'm just gonna pick up.. Nope that was the throw button. And I'm on a balcony. Ooops."
Those damn rats going through the wall of light the same time you go through carrying Sokolov has given me a Game Over so many times. (The fact that you re-wired the wall doesn't seem to matter if a damn rat goes through the same time you do. )
You can do the same thing in the original Dishonored. "I'll just climb down this convenient chain...oh, you...can't hold onto chains when holding an unconscious body? Sorry Soko-" *Game Over*
What about ending K in Nier: Automata where you die from eating a Mackerel. The game tells you the fish is lethal to androids but you still eat it anyways then watch as the credits roll.
I'm sorry - did you forget about mandatory mention of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines? It should be in every "List" video, check your contracts. I remember how stupid i was, violating masquerade, and boom - "You've suffered a Final Death". And that was even before infamous "You Died".
As I hear it, basically all of Nier Automata has potential for this. I was going to suggest the time I walked in the wrong direction during the second playthrough's intro and apparently 9S just wandered off, never to be heard from again.
You guy's didn't cover the full story for "The Stanley Parable"! If you attempt to use "sv_cheats 1" a second time after you are sent to the serious room, you get sent there again. As a "reward", you get another stern lecture, an even *longer* sentence, and the Narrator even goes so far as to remove the table from the Serious Room. (I think you may be able to do a third time, but I can't recall if it's possible or what the consequences are...)
I don't think that's the most embarrassing game over in the Stanley parable. The most embarrassing one is where you jump off that platform and fall to your death. You dont even think about the possible consequences, you just think "hey I wonder what would happen if i jumped off this thing." Then splat.
To be fair, that's the only way to get out of that scene...so you're kinda stuck with that choice. The "best" part about that whole ending is that the Narrator is pleading for Stanley to listen to reason, and the fall isn't even enough to kill Stanley; he has to jump off the ledge three separate times!
Dat-Mudkip the fall I was talking about was from the moving platform. Theres no railing to prevent you from jumping off the first time you get on it so most people think huh i wonder if I can jump off this, they then walk off the edge half expecting there to be an invisible wall to stop you. The one you talking about if funny to, it's just that this one is one that you could completely miss, the only ones that get this game over are the ones that get this game over are the player that look at a two story drop of instant death and wonder "will I die if I jump off" and then jump
What about in Fallout 4 when instead of going into Vault 111 you decide you're all macho and such a survival expert that you can survive a nuke and radioactive fallout and run away from the vault.
@@DocRobotnik that's literally what "put it together and brought it to life" means. Miyazaki both wrote and directed it MAKING him the creator, but as you said it's the artist, voice actors and most importantly programmers that put the whole thing together and breathe life into it. Direct comparison: Dungeons & Dragons, especially the "default" setting of The Forgotten Realms a setting that makes BotW, Elder Scrolls and all of Soulsborne combined look like a half meter diameter kiddie pool by comparison). Gary Gygax created it (and later brought others into the creative fold to add to an already existing world), but it was the additional creative talents as well as the players that gave it life and Another direct comparison: Star Wars. George Lucas created it, the cast and crew brought it to life and pulled it all together. Across all forms of media, it's the same principle. If the writer and director are the same person, they're the creator no ifs ands or buts. The illustrators give visual representation, actors have the duty of portrayal OF the characters and lastly programmers to make sure everything works. And one more, William Shakespeare wrote and directed his plays, but the actors, costume designers and prop makers brought it to life.
@@lordnul1708 I initially had the same reaction as DocRobotnik up there. I think it was your use of the word "simply" that confused me. All those other artists and contributors's work was certainly not simple! Their work combined is far more than that of the director and/or writer. It seemed like you were brushing off their work offhandedly, although you have now clarified that in your new comment. On the other hand, and this may be semantics, but to bring something to life is certainly to help create it. I would say that anyone who helped shape a project, from an artist or a voice actor to the director, etc, has helped to create it. Creation isn't just done by the person who has the first idea or the general idea, but by everyone who forms a work. I wouldn't call George Lucas the sole creator of Star Wars. The progenitor, sure. The director, objectively yes. But saying the person who started an idea or guided it in broad strokes is the only creator devalues the work of everyone else who helped make those films come to life. An illustrator doesn't just give something a visual representation, they create that representation. A different illustrator would have created a different image, even under the same writer/director. Therefore, they are participating in the creation process rather than simply translating one creator's idea into visuals. If they simply bring it to life, without creating it, then you would get the same result each time, as only one mind, that of the director/writer, would be doing the creating. Similarly, an actor doesn't just portray a character, they truly give it form and life. If Luke Skywalker had been played by Dany DeVito, Luke would have been a very different character. (And Star Wars as a whole would be a very different, albeit certainly still intriguing, film.) Your examples of Shakespeare and Gygax are interesting parallels, as both created initial works, which have been reinterpreted and adjusted and recreated by thousands of other players (both of the theater and game variety). I think all those players have each created their own version of the stories, and thus could be considered creators in their own right. No two D&D sessions are the same, just as two different productions of "As You Like It" are going to be wildly different. I suppose what I'm saying is: you are right that all the other members of these projects are, "putting it together and bringing it to life," but in doing so, they are shaping the final product and thus contributing to the creation of the work. TL,DR: I think it undervalues the work of artists, voice actors, designers, and everyone who participates in the creation of any form of media to say that the process of putting together an idea and bringing it to life is anything other than helping to create that final game/film/play/etc. I hope this hasn't come across as hostile. Your comments posed an interesting point about the definition of "creation," and it was fun to try to think about what the precise definition is! Thanks for that, and have a great day!
@@Bombom1300 this. This is an interesting argument on your part, and not to worry as it doesn't at all come off as hostle. That said, I think it's safe to say we can sort this under a philosophical difference at this point. That said I put that whole bit under a sort of scale regarding whether it was broad strokes or more involved instruction (George Lucas falling well into the latter category if the interviews are anything to go by) or how much detail comes from the artist and how much is from the writer/director. (That said, on a different note the best way for philosophers to improve their craft is to converse about their differring views much like we are here). That said creating a world and bringing it to life can indeed be separate events (heck just look at our own) but then again it all depends on perspective, and definitely depends on the context of the whole process. On a different note, here's a few random fun facts, 1) did you know that for Empire Strikes Back, Lucas actually kept the "Luke I am your father" line from practically everyone and toldark Hamil immediately before shooting the iconic scene? Yeah Mark's reaction really was genuine. Also George threatened Mark by saying something along the lines of "Only I know, the producer knows and now you know, and if you tell anyone we'll know who it was" so by the first screening, the number of people who knew could be counted on one hand. 2) The first superhero didn't come from a comic, but a radio program. The Shadow was the first of his kind and would later go on to inspire characters we know and love today such as Batman (both IRL and partially in universe), Darkwing Duck and so forth. A short while after came his debut "pulp novels" (then a precursor to the comic book) and the rest from there is history. 3) originally the very first Zelda game was going to be...a lot different, the game would start in a tech heavy future and time travel would be a thing, Triforce pieces were going to be supercomputer chips etc. 4) if you play close enough attention, no matter how different two RPGs are, they can all be tracked to the same original inspiration, the very first role-playing game, that we know as Dungeons & Dragons, in some way shape or form. From in your face cases like fireball and lightning bolt to the way damage types are handled to monster design and much much more, it can be fun seeing what thing inspired what.
There's a few of these in Super Paper Mario. You can refuse to save the world in the introduction, you can fall for Mimi pretending to be Merlee, or you can refuse to wear a space helmet in space. The first and third of these require quite a bit of persistence, though you're rewarded with some hilarious dialogue so it's not too bad.

My favorite way to die is by taking "friendly" player's advice. Jumping off of a cliff in dark souls because "why would the chalk on the floor steer me wrong", last time I listen to graffiti.
In Sewer Shark for the Sega CD, about 60 percent through the gruelling game, you finally get an upgrade to your ship. In a cut scene, your superior tells you to test out the new guns and fire it at the garage door. If you fail to fire any shots, he cusses you out and says he’ll find a pilot who can listen to orders. Roll credits, game over, no continue screen, start from the beginning.
Getting blown up by the initial nuke in Fallout 4. The game gives you long enough to take in the environment, so if you STILL die to running out of time, then you are shameful!
I'm honestly surprised Nier: Automata wasnt one. Some random person tells you to eat a fish just to see what would happen, and you do it. I was never embarrassed to get a game over before that moment
Vampire the bloodlines the masquerade. Forgetting to not be a vampire in public, breaking the masquerade, getting vampire hunters all over your ass, and then losing all masquerade masks. All because you forget people aren't used to supernatural beings showing up on a street corner.
In the Fallout New Vegas dlc Dead Money, when you reach the vault at the end, you are warned not to read a certain entry on the terminal, or else the vault will lock you in forever. But you can choose to read it anyway like an idiot, and get locked in there forever.
I'm surprised Resident Evil 4 didn't make it onto this list. Shooting the lake before fighting 'Del Lago' will provoke the monster to breach the water & eat Leon, killing him immediately. Talk about an embarrassing Game Over, there's even an achievement in the HD re-release of the game telling you not to do it!
I'd definitely add Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. The first time I mixed alcohol and painkillers I nearly died laughing, not just from my insides turning to mush.
How about “hhhmmmmm, I wonder if this fire will kill me. I’m just gonna test this *5 seconds later* oh I died” this is in many games... I’ve died a lot guys
James Fuller how have I never thought to try that. I removed the OS chip the moment I saw it, i screwed around with the options to mess with 9s, I even ate the the fish the second I got it, but I never once thought to use the self-destruct to blow up the station. I have to go and try this now.

Lorias What's worse is how easy it is to lose approval by being stupid. Literally just jump around the place, I've never seen approval drop so fast. Also when you first greet Celene when you enter the ballroom, if you pick the bottom option both times (ya know, the ones where you try to warn her that she's gonna get killed), you're instantly escorted out.
Bloody Orlesians. I can understand the jumping around you're at a fancy party but "the game" requires way too much subtlety for any of my Inquisitors to put up with. Though if I'm honest I do like the fact that you can actually get kicked out of the party for just messing around.
I'm just gonna say, my fav example of dying for being dumb. Is in Sonic when you just stand there for a while... and he literally says "Fuck this, I'm out" and jumps off the level. Always will be funny and just plain a whole mood
The dumbest move to cause a Game Over in Dishonored is at the very first area, Dunwall Tower (prior to meeting with the queen and witnessing her assassination). As you scout around the area and notice High Overseer Campbell having his portrait painted, you will trigger a Game Over with the phrase, "You committed a capital offense," if you walk from Campbell to (and over) the area immediately to the painter's right side (possibly where he keeps his canvases). Upon doing this action, a piano sound will occur, Campbell will start to talk, blood drops will appear near the lower right side of the screen, and the Game Over Message will appear.
So I have to brag about this here after the whole "children saying why" thing because I actually won that recently. We were driving past my brother's new school and when we say "oh that's where your daddy works." My three year old niece asks why. I tell her because that's where he goes. She says why. I say because he needs a job. She says why. I say because that's the way the American government decided people should get money. She again says why over and over until we get to " because the American revolution made it so we were an independent country from the British." She just blinked at me and looked away.
This made-up story might make some sense if not for the fact that over 10% of Americans are on food stamps because the government has literally decided working is not how people should get (enough) money. Well the bit about her just blinking and not wanting to look at you ever again makes sense.
Good on you for beating her at her own game! She got tired of the answers she couldn't understand and stopped following, lol. I would probably do this myself but I try to avoid kids whenever possible, XD!
What about in Fallout New Vegas' dead money, where everything tells you not to read Fredrick Sinclair's message to Dean? If you do it you get trapped in the Sierra Madre Vault forever.

Ummmmm...... I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I chose to sacrifice myself my first time through and until I saw your comment somehow I never realized he lied. Somehow I thought I actually saved everyone. It's been a few years since I played that game. I've gone this whole time thinking that i chose to die a hero and i was proud of that trophy. I might just be an idiot.

Karateka: start by going left. (That's the cliff you just climbed before the game started...) Karateka: stay in fighting stance when rescuing the princess at the end. (She kicks you in the nuts!) The Magic of Scheherazade: tell Rainy you'd like to quit. (That's exactly what happens.) Maniac Mansion: press the red button marked "DO NOT PRESS" in the drained swimming pool. (To be fair, "READ BUTTON" isn't the most intuitive of commands...) Lurkley Manor (now THERE's an obscure one for you): bring a flagon into the Flagon Spilling Room. (It's in the name, for sanity's sake.)
Saving mid fall, only to have you die instantly every. damn. time. (Seriously, I know of someone that did that unintentionally in their Tomb Raider IV playthrough.)
The problem with Kaz is that he was really hard to find, he doesn't move and doesn't say anything. I walked past him multiple times without noticing him while I searched for him. But still I didn't needed that much time, only about two and a half day.
Mir fiel kein besserer Name ein If you explore a bit more, you can find documents giving you a rough estimate of where he is and you can interrogate a guard to find his exact location.
Justin RM I had the recordings, but like I said I walked past him multiple times without noticing him because he didn't move and made no sound. The NightVisionGear would have been helpful in that situation, but I didn't know about it at that point of the game and I don't know if I had it already.
Wait, wait, wait - no mention of "Mass Effect 2" and having intercourse with Morinth? I mean, come on, it is DIRECTLY said that the act will cost you your life, so you're basically agreeing to commit suicide. Understandable, given the context and all, but still :D
Of course Shepard wouldn't make a difference choice (that's why I wrote it's understandable given the context :D)... still, one would think there is some restrain... Samara is hotter anyway :P
I have ONE thing to say and ONLY ONE: where is the snake from "Getting over it?" (It may be not a real "game over", but it still takes you back to the start because you didn't listen to what the sign said)
Not that I've ever done it, because that would be pretty dumb,
but how embarrassing would it be to die because you wanted to check if the game had fall damage?
how else would you know, right?
It's safe to assume that if a games target audience is above the age of eight then yes, your character will take fall damage.

I wish Fahrenheit was on the list. There was a game over where you can take painkillers then drink alchohol which would result in the character dying.
That happened to me lol
"and that's how my story ends"
depends on how many painkillers you take. I took middle strong one and drank some Vodka. Had a lot of fun that night. And I slept so hard that people put chewing gum in my nose and a Chickenwing in my mouth and I did not wake up. Good times.
@@diobrando9685 It’s generally good practice to just not mix alcohol and medication. One person’s luck is another person’s death
It’s in other lists
All I want in life is for Andy to follow Jane around all day, narrating everything she does in the voice of The Stanley Parable narrator.
Isn't there a section in another Tomb Raider game where Lara dies by getting turned into gold because you climbed onto the hand of Midas? Pretty sure the golden rule when it comes to Midas is don't touch the hand.
Yeah TR1, and Anniversary
Good pun
Already in the first game.
Wasn't that in the level named 'Saint Frances Folly'
Oh I remember that.
XD
I did that when I was a little girl
Prey. You can jump into the helicopter blades at the very beginning of the game, and get an achievement from it.
Oh god i did the Game all over Just to get the archivement...
He did that on the most embarrassing achievements you don’t want
Yeah that was a fun one. It's also in the other OutsideXbox list with the exact same name as this one, but two years later lol
I mean that’s not dumb it’s smart since achievement
I remember watching the video that showed this, forgetting about it, playing Prey, do it by accident trying to see if I can break the game, remembering about it, and then laughing at myself in shame
Yeah The Phantom Pain one was incredibly embarrassing, but not nearly as much as when you take the Fake Death pill in Snake Eater, then forget to take the revival and then die for reals.
I completely forgot about the revival pill, which is why it took longer than it should've to get past the section with the Sorrow
When I first played MGS3, I didn't know about the Revival pill and never used the fake death pill. When I got to the Sorrow, it took me weeks to get through him.
Ayan Haider I actually used the Fake Death Pill to forcibly redo an area or reload my save when I was doing my No Alert run.
Easily my most valuable item next to the tranq.
Psychronia The good old double R2 to reload the weapon faster :v
Ayan Haider And what about standing on the swamp's mud to see how much you can sink?
My favorite is still romancing Morinth in Mass Effect 2. By the time you have the chance, you already know she's an Ardat-Yakshi, a deadly psychic vampire who kills her mates. What did you think would happen?!
Morrowind. A guy drops out of the sky and dies. He has scrolls and a journal about wanting to fly. What can go wrong?
Either "SPLAT!" or ending up in international waters. Somewhere, Azura is face-palming.
Fighting mud crabs with a bow and playing it like early final fantasy games where bows didn't need arrows to work and you just pissed off the entire starting town so nobody's gonna sell you anything.
The point is, you have three such scrolls. If you fire up one, take a leap, and before you crash onto the ground you fire up another one *with less than seven seconds until impact* on the clock, you are going to land safely.
@Robidu1973 Yes! Those scrolls teach you how to think in Morrowind logic. If you just use them without thinking, you die. Figure out the timing or combine with a featherfall spell and they're epic. I usually hung onto them for use during the famous "travel across the map under a vow of silence" pilgrimage quest. If I wanted to mix things up from using the speed levitation blessing you could get from a nearby shrine for that instead. Get clever and the game rewards you. See also: Boots of Blinding Speed + a resist magic spell when equipping them.
Anyway, you just reminded me how much I love that game!
"I stand by my decision."
"Which is why I'm subjecting you to the most serious punishment I can think of."

What about eating a fish in Nier Automata after being told that androids can't digest fish?

What about in new Vegas in the Sierra madres vault, you are very clearly and specifically told never to open this one particular message on the terminal, if you open it the vault seals forever with you inside it.
Oh shit I forgot about that...or maybe I didn't know. I'm huge into New Vegas so I feel like I'd know this
I did that, and I ended up permanently breaking the DLC in that playthrough by using the TCL console command to escape. I don't have a save from before that, but I'll keep that in mind for future playthroughs.
Does anyone else find Luke shouting 'get good scrub' hysterical?... purely because its Luke and he probably apologized afterwards.
Rampaging Noob legend has it he's still apologising
Now that I can believe! ... Andy of all people too...
He sounded strangely passionate about it.
..wasn't that Mike?
It made me flinch, yet realizing Luke isn't like that cushioned the feeling.
So if Lara got away with her crimes due to being part of high society, how does Jane get away with her often mentioned "Hobbies" such as being the avatar of the deep ones etc?
ONE OF US....ONE OF US.....ONE OF US....(also in monotone. For additional credit do a Donald Sutherland Pod Person scream at any non believers).
would YOU try to arrest an avatar of the Deep Ones?
Of course not, but then again I was brought up to respect my "Elders" and if I learned anything from Anime, it doesn't pay to be on the wrong end of tentacles.
You don't get more old money than being a representative of the Golden Ones from the eras before time.
If that's not "high society" enough for you, her "eyes" are just a pair of monacles held in place by the vacuum force produced by the infinite void of her true form which is housed within her questionably mortal shell.
Two reasons: Jane is prettier than any of the boys, and a part of Luke's job as her disciple is to take any and all necessary heat
Committing suicide in Borderlands 2 just because Handsome Jack offers you a relatively small amount of money to do so.
Nope, Iridium. Totally worth it.
Regulus Black Eh by that point you only have a few more upgrades to make. Is minorly inconveniencing yourself *really* worth...ok you may be on to something.
Not really a game over though, since you immediately pop up at the nearest revive station with Jack laughing at you
NotQuiteEnglish reviving at the New-U station is functionally Borderlands' game over screen. Jack mocking you is what makes it a special event
biohazard724 Well I disagree because the game isn’t over, it just revives your character to carry on as if nothing happened. Borderlands, like every other game that uses an autosave or checkpoint system, doesn’t have a game over screen
8:50 I remember the last time a omniscient AI told me they were throwing a celebration with cake...didn’t go well then either. GLaD to see AIs are all the same.
I remember my first time playing Disgaea when I lost to the boss at the very beginning of the game. Needless to say it made me feel stupid when all of a sudden the boss himself was surprised he won and gloated while the credits rolled.
It’s not exactly a game over, but in Fallout New Vegas you can ‘bother’ Caesar too much.
After asking something 3 times when he has a headache he sicks his entire entourage on you; unless you’re super heavily armed, armored, and have a boatload of chems, you’re dead.
Added bonus: your companions are waiting outside & it’s a hard skill check to get meds in, so you’re alone & have no healing.
Justin Helms They take your weapons too, if you not high in sneak. And your medicine if you don't pass a speech check.
Darkest Knight yeah, so unless you head there with Boone and Rex with intent to kill you’re probably going to get spanked harder than Africa with The Rains.
Justin Helms Companions aren't even allowed in the tent if you annoy him. So your best option is to run unless you just get hammered and stunned early. Then You're fucked
~ + tgm. works every time.
I actually found a little cheat that SOMEHOW worked when I took cover inside a wagon and just shot at them, all in relative safety, except one of them was right next to the wagon and scored a couple of hits while I was in the wagon, but I managed to kill the entire group from the safety of the wagon before jumping out and killing the one right next to it cuz I couldnt hit him from INSIDE the wagon...I also think we hit each other with Power Gauntlets at the same time and I BARELY survived with like barely 5 hp at the end while HIS corpse went flying in several pieces. XD it was so epic and yet so hilarious at the same time.
Voluntarily walking off a cliff, to see if an invisible barrier will save you. Going from kid games to "regular" games was a tough time...
scorpiñator Those aren't exclusive to kids games.
Quite the opposite experience if you were a kid in the 80s. But if you were, you're old now which is, unfortunately, worse than having had a tough time with video games at some point :( It's a lose-lose scenario!

Guys those two things arent the same
I swear I thought when they were going with a Laura Croft game and talking about Tomb Raider Legacy (with the T-Rex), I swore they were going to cover the "Midas Touch" game over. There is a statue of Midas. You touch him. Your skin hardens into Gold and you Die. Game Over. I really felt stupid.
Watch again. She punched at the base of the skull. Not an efficient form of neck-snap but I guess it works for the game.
@@lilfrostyy8829 I believe she knocks them out. Breaking the vertebrae with a punch requires a lot of force. Above human speed. So I'm sure she didn't kill them.
@@bern9642 you'd be surprised, someone of her talents can (in fact it's actually easy to do it if you're at peak physical condition...just like Lara). Don't believe me? Check the following: medical journals on how much of a hit the human spine can take and the world record for how hard a human can punch. Turns out the latter is a much, much higher number than the first. In fact boxers have to wear the gloves specifically BECAUSE of that particular detail.
@@lilfrostyy8829 There are only seven cervical vertebrae and a damaged vertebrae is not enough to kill someone. There needs severe trauma or separation of the spinal cord. The if the spine is severed between the first, through seventh vertebrae, death is unavoidable due to all brain controlled functions being cut. But people can still survive as quadra/paraplegics for spinal separations below that line or partial separations above. Like Christopher Reeves.
The 'hidden' fourth ending to Mass Effect 3 is one of my favourites. After three epic games spent fighting the Reapers and their indoctrinated minions, Shepard is given a choice - how to end the Reaper cycle, once and for all.
The illustrious Commander's solution - "I'll use my gun!"
It goes as well as you'd think.
Hey, his gun worked on every other dangerous alien he'd encountered. Okay, sometimes he had access to much bigger guns, but you do what you can with what you get, you know?
You haven't finished the sentence. "I'll use my gun on this projection of a kid which has no physical body."
If the indoctrination theory is correct, the ending where you shoot the holographic kid is actually the closest thing the game has to a GOOd ending.
That was the first ending I got and therefor the true canonical ending. I don't think I even meant to, it was just "can I use my gun here?" pulls trigger. Instant cutscene of everyone dying. Oops?
It's more of an "I die free" sort of ending.
Mike: “I stand by my decision.”
Stanley Parable narrator: “Which is why I’m subjecting you to the most serious punishment I can think of: 100 billion trillion years standing here in the Serious Room.”

How about "the part where he kills you" in Portal 2? Where if you listen to Wheatley and jump into the pit he ridicules you for making it too easy?

It’s better than taking the blue pill.
or when glados try to bait you in another test room when trying to escap with Wheatley. i somehow fell for that
i just had to try that one, too see what happens.
Have you ever played a Sierra adventure game? Let me tell you, there's no game over more embarrassing than falling off of a staircase when you're literally one screen from completing the game.
Curse you, King's Quest 2...
That's how you can tell, in King's Quest 4, that Genesta is the good fairy. She's the only castle owner whose stairs have banisters.
There are so many possible deaths in the old Sierra games it's impossible to pick any of them for this list. Get locked in a room with a descending ceiling without the one item that can rescue you (which, btw, was thirty screens and eight puzzles ago)? Too bad, that's 90s videogame design for ya!
... Well, actually, there IS one I can think of. In the escape pod in Space Quest 1, there is a middle button on the console that the game tells you is clearly labeled "DO NOT PUSH". Nonetheless, you CAN push the button ... only for the pod to crashland in a different Sierra game and kill you upon impact.
My favourite Sierra death was at the very beginning of Rise of the Dragon, whereby if you leave your apartment without having put your clothes on first, you get arrested for public indecency.
Reminds me of mis-clicking while climbing the Cliffs of Logic in KQ6. I'm sensing a theme.
Stratelier Actually, they did cover that Space Quest one in another video.
And to be fair, if you went to the winged ones in KQ6 and already had all the items you needed, the game would let you know by having Alexander say "I am ready." when the king warns him about the dangers in the catacombs.
What about checking if a game has invisible walls or not preventing you from falling to your death

gamerguy19981 I did this!
I was gonna comment this, but yo7 got here before I even saw the video
I thought the game was just messing with me so I went off the path as soon as I could, it didn't end well xD
I did that.
When I heard “Embarrassing Game Overs”, I thought there’d definitely be a Dark Souls entry.
I’m specifically thinking of the original one, when you land on Firelink Shrine. The first NPC you meet is the Crestfallen Warrior, who tells you where to go and what to do.
Unless you attack him.
Then he goes batsh*t and starts attacking you. At that level, you probably haven’t got a chance, so you’ll probably die, to which he says “How embarrassing. You actually let me do that to you?” in the most smug voice imaginable.
When you respawn...
He’s right there, still batsh*t. And he’ll continue to be until you either kill him or run away. And if you kill him, he doesn’t respawn.
Ever.
I personally made this more humiliating, because I had bait him to the edge of a cliff, then fall off. At least he followed me.
Now I’ve got 20+ deaths, no idea where to go, and humiliated for the rest of my life.
Just parry spam him
You know, of all the wrong turns people have made at the start of Dark Souls, that might be the most wrong one I've ever heard. But that certainly makes it a unique experience! I hope you still managed to figure out what to do next. It's a fun game once you find a way to go forward!
Also @office chair, exactly how many first time players of Fromsoft-style games are going to be able to parry him consistently enough to whittle him down in their first 5 minutes of Lordran? My guess is, like, maybe 5 or 6 prodigies, but otherwise that's not really viable.
Doesn’t he Respawn in future play throughs or if you start all the way from the beginning through clicking new game?

You can do the same thing in the original Dishonored. "I'll just climb down this convenient chain...oh, you...can't hold onto chains when holding an unconscious body? Sorry Soko-" *Game Over*

What about ending K in Nier: Automata where you die from eating a Mackerel. The game tells you the fish is lethal to androids but you still eat it anyways then watch as the credits roll.
And then there's the OS chip.....
I'm sorry - did you forget about mandatory mention of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines? It should be in every "List" video, check your contracts.
I remember how stupid i was, violating masquerade, and boom - "You've suffered a Final Death". And that was even before infamous "You Died".
I was expecting that when Andy said "vampire"....
Samur/Aye "You Died" is most known from Dark Souls
What about eating the fish in Nier Automata. It killed you but it was still delicious.
Does that comply with beeing stupid? Do you know before that that will happen?
I think unplugging the OS chip qualifies more.
As I hear it, basically all of Nier Automata has potential for this. I was going to suggest the time I walked in the wrong direction during the second playthrough's intro and apparently 9S just wandered off, never to be heard from again.
Haven't played it, but I'm pretty sure the item description says "lethal for androids" or something.

(I think you may be able to do a third time, but I can't recall if it's possible or what the consequences are...)
Dat-Mudkip I was thinking about that!
I don't think that's the most embarrassing game over in the Stanley parable. The most embarrassing one is where you jump off that platform and fall to your death. You dont even think about the possible consequences, you just think "hey I wonder what would happen if i jumped off this thing." Then splat.
Ninja Panda no long Fall Boots for Stanley
To be fair, that's the only way to get out of that scene...so you're kinda stuck with that choice.
The "best" part about that whole ending is that the Narrator is pleading for Stanley to listen to reason, and the fall isn't even enough to kill Stanley; he has to jump off the ledge three separate times!
Dat-Mudkip the fall I was talking about was from the moving platform. Theres no railing to prevent you from jumping off the first time you get on it so most people think huh i wonder if I can jump off this, they then walk off the edge half expecting there to be an invisible wall to stop you. The one you talking about if funny to, it's just that this one is one that you could completely miss, the only ones that get this game over are the ones that get this game over are the player that look at a two story drop of instant death and wonder "will I die if I jump off" and then jump

Bloodborne has this as well, being made by the same guy.
@@DocRobotnik eh semantics. Miyazaki was the creator, the rest of the team simply put them together and brought it to life.
@@DocRobotnik that's literally what "put it together and brought it to life" means. Miyazaki both wrote and directed it MAKING him the creator, but as you said it's the artist, voice actors and most importantly programmers that put the whole thing together and breathe life into it.
Direct comparison: Dungeons & Dragons, especially the "default" setting of The Forgotten Realms a setting that makes BotW, Elder Scrolls and all of Soulsborne combined look like a half meter diameter kiddie pool by comparison). Gary Gygax created it (and later brought others into the creative fold to add to an already existing world), but it was the additional creative talents as well as the players that gave it life and
Another direct comparison: Star Wars. George Lucas created it, the cast and crew brought it to life and pulled it all together.
Across all forms of media, it's the same principle. If the writer and director are the same person, they're the creator no ifs ands or buts. The illustrators give visual representation, actors have the duty of portrayal OF the characters and lastly programmers to make sure everything works.
And one more, William Shakespeare wrote and directed his plays, but the actors, costume designers and prop makers brought it to life.
@@lordnul1708 I initially had the same reaction as DocRobotnik up there. I think it was your use of the word "simply" that confused me. All those other artists and contributors's work was certainly not simple! Their work combined is far more than that of the director and/or writer. It seemed like you were brushing off their work offhandedly, although you have now clarified that in your new comment.
On the other hand, and this may be semantics, but to bring something to life is certainly to help create it. I would say that anyone who helped shape a project, from an artist or a voice actor to the director, etc, has helped to create it. Creation isn't just done by the person who has the first idea or the general idea, but by everyone who forms a work. I wouldn't call George Lucas the sole creator of Star Wars. The progenitor, sure. The director, objectively yes. But saying the person who started an idea or guided it in broad strokes is the only creator devalues the work of everyone else who helped make those films come to life.
An illustrator doesn't just give something a visual representation, they create that representation. A different illustrator would have created a different image, even under the same writer/director. Therefore, they are participating in the creation process rather than simply translating one creator's idea into visuals. If they simply bring it to life, without creating it, then you would get the same result each time, as only one mind, that of the director/writer, would be doing the creating. Similarly, an actor doesn't just portray a character, they truly give it form and life. If Luke Skywalker had been played by Dany DeVito, Luke would have been a very different character. (And Star Wars as a whole would be a very different, albeit certainly still intriguing, film.) Your examples of Shakespeare and Gygax are interesting parallels, as both created initial works, which have been reinterpreted and adjusted and recreated by thousands of other players (both of the theater and game variety). I think all those players have each created their own version of the stories, and thus could be considered creators in their own right. No two D&D sessions are the same, just as two different productions of "As You Like It" are going to be wildly different. I suppose what I'm saying is: you are right that all the other members of these projects are, "putting it together and bringing it to life," but in doing so, they are shaping the final product and thus contributing to the creation of the work.
TL,DR: I think it undervalues the work of artists, voice actors, designers, and everyone who participates in the creation of any form of media to say that the process of putting together an idea and bringing it to life is anything other than helping to create that final game/film/play/etc.
I hope this hasn't come across as hostile. Your comments posed an interesting point about the definition of "creation," and it was fun to try to think about what the precise definition is! Thanks for that, and have a great day!
@@Bombom1300 this. This is an interesting argument on your part, and not to worry as it doesn't at all come off as hostle. That said, I think it's safe to say we can sort this under a philosophical difference at this point. That said I put that whole bit under a sort of scale regarding whether it was broad strokes or more involved instruction (George Lucas falling well into the latter category if the interviews are anything to go by) or how much detail comes from the artist and how much is from the writer/director.
(That said, on a different note the best way for philosophers to improve their craft is to converse about their differring views much like we are here).
That said creating a world and bringing it to life can indeed be separate events (heck just look at our own) but then again it all depends on perspective, and definitely depends on the context of the whole process.
On a different note, here's a few random fun facts,
1) did you know that for Empire Strikes Back, Lucas actually kept the "Luke I am your father" line from practically everyone and toldark Hamil immediately before shooting the iconic scene? Yeah Mark's reaction really was genuine. Also George threatened Mark by saying something along the lines of "Only I know, the producer knows and now you know, and if you tell anyone we'll know who it was" so by the first screening, the number of people who knew could be counted on one hand.
2) The first superhero didn't come from a comic, but a radio program. The Shadow was the first of his kind and would later go on to inspire characters we know and love today such as Batman (both IRL and partially in universe), Darkwing Duck and so forth. A short while after came his debut "pulp novels" (then a precursor to the comic book) and the rest from there is history.
3) originally the very first Zelda game was going to be...a lot different, the game would start in a tech heavy future and time travel would be a thing, Triforce pieces were going to be supercomputer chips etc.
4) if you play close enough attention, no matter how different two RPGs are, they can all be tracked to the same original inspiration, the very first role-playing game, that we know as Dungeons & Dragons, in some way shape or form. From in your face cases like fireball and lightning bolt to the way damage types are handled to monster design and much much more, it can be fun seeing what thing inspired what.
There's a few of these in Super Paper Mario. You can refuse to save the world in the introduction, you can fall for Mimi pretending to be Merlee, or you can refuse to wear a space helmet in space. The first and third of these require quite a bit of persistence, though you're rewarded with some hilarious dialogue so it's not too bad.

What about when you save in the middle of The End boss fight and DON'T wait the full week and he instant kills you? Or when you think The Sorrow ACTUALLY killed you and pressed CONTINUE
@@niiskii2594 I killed him at the warehouse with a sniper rifle
I still remember when mike threw that grenade and litterally every gaurd in the vicinity got notified..... Good Times.
Which time?
Timothy McLean payday2 heist
Shouldn't Snake be using a monocular? I'm just saying, binoculars seem to be.. wasteful.
I like the word I'm pretty sure I made up, but yes...
Spoilers for mgs5 but that isnt the actual big boss who is missing his eye. Thats a character you are able to create. That character has two eyes
@@aaronives3465 but big boss is missing an eye
@@mofo1188 the real big boss is missing an eye, venom snake is the medic in ground zeros who has two eyes and is able to see out of both eyes. Venom undergoes pshycological brainwashing and surgeries to think that he big boss even though he is not
@@aaronives3465 I know
12:43 "You waste my time." he says very slowly, thus wasting even more time.
My favorite way to die is by taking "friendly" player's advice. Jumping off of a cliff in dark souls because "why would the chalk on the floor steer me wrong", last time I listen to graffiti.
On Xtra I've seen someone trick Luke into reading just in range of a gatling gun. They can get surprisingly creative with those traps
In Sewer Shark for the Sega CD, about 60 percent through the gruelling game, you finally get an upgrade to your ship. In a cut scene, your superior tells you to test out the new guns and fire it at the garage door. If you fail to fire any shots, he cusses you out and says he’ll find a pilot who can listen to orders. Roll credits, game over, no continue screen, start from the beginning.
Getting blown up by the initial nuke in Fallout 4. The game gives you long enough to take in the environment, so if you STILL die to running out of time, then you are shameful!
Before watching the full video:
My guess is Dishonored is from throwing bottles at allies haha.
Justin Helms LMAO at least I wasn’t the only person who did that 😂
TheGamingGopher oh I throw whale oil tanks into the conspirators party every time cause I know what they’re about to do
Justin Helms jumping on their heads is the best one, it's the code that causes the callista one
The Riptide Raptor yeah lol.
But you just about can’t beat throwing a bottle at someone’s face from 2 feet away and hearing “did you do that?”
Accidentally hitting Billie with a Sleep Dart in the Knife of Dunwall DLC during the Surge mission will also end in a Game Over.
I'm honestly surprised Nier: Automata wasnt one. Some random person tells you to eat a fish just to see what would happen, and you do it. I was never embarrassed to get a game over before that moment
This reminds me of the time my friends and I were playing D&D and we were offered alcohol from a dwarf in an elegant green robe.
@@flickcentergaming680 you can't just say this without the rest of the story?? did you all just die?
Give binoculars to the guy with an eyepatch.
Sure.
Vampire the bloodlines the masquerade. Forgetting to not be a vampire in public, breaking the masquerade, getting vampire hunters all over your ass, and then losing all masquerade masks. All because you forget people aren't used to supernatural beings showing up on a street corner.
In the Fallout New Vegas dlc Dead Money, when you reach the vault at the end, you are warned not to read a certain entry on the terminal, or else the vault will lock you in forever. But you can choose to read it anyway like an idiot, and get locked in there forever.
Magnus Ballspunch But... I need to know the Lore the Lore I tell you!
Yep. Those of us nosy explorers definitely saw this happen at least once.
I'm surprised Resident Evil 4 didn't make it onto this list. Shooting the lake before fighting 'Del Lago' will provoke the monster to breach the water & eat Leon, killing him immediately. Talk about an embarrassing Game Over, there's even an achievement in the HD re-release of the game telling you not to do it!
There's also the game over you get if you shoot Luis too many times where he turns on you saying "Adios, Leon!" and kills you.
I'd definitely add Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. The first time I mixed alcohol and painkillers I nearly died laughing, not just from my insides turning to mush.
I haven't thought about rise of the triad in soooooo long! Thank you for including this!
Resident Evil 4. Got to a dock and I see some fish so I shoot at them. I keep shooting and then the boss in the lake eats me instantly!
Nytemare2all: Don't shoot the water!!
Yeah that harsh Part lol.... My little brother play it and by accident I watch it.... Laugh so hard.
Ashchi Salleh This^
Omg that made me jump and laugh my ass off. My little sister who was watching me play laughed too. Ahh memories
How about “hhhmmmmm, I wonder if this fire will kill me. I’m just gonna test this *5 seconds later* oh I died” this is in many games... I’ve died a lot guys
James Chamblee "I wonder if I can walk off this cliff is or there an invisible wall there..." that's how I die
Svue071, I wonder if this is a friendly npc or an enemy that can one hit kill me (2 seconds later) aaaaaaand I’m dead again
James Chamblee "Do I take damage from my own rocket?" Oh, I do.
Standing in fire in bloodborne, or dodging backwards after climbing a ladder for half a minute
How about casually removing your OS chip in Nier Automata just to see what happens
RedGreen Komayto or eating a fish AFTER cleary being warned bout it side effects
or self-destructing while you're on the station
Or 9S wondering off. Although aren't these technically bad endings.
James Fuller how have I never thought to try that. I removed the OS chip the moment I saw it, i screwed around with the options to mess with 9s, I even ate the the fish the second I got it, but I never once thought to use the self-destruct to blow up the station. I have to go and try this now.
Oh god the dishonored one killed me. I first found out about it when me and my friend dylan were playing it he wanted to see what would happen and we both sat there for 3 minutes laughting our asses of at the game over screen
That's the best way to come across a stupid game over. With friends.
What about portal 2 when Wheatley tricks you to jump downdown to the abyss
This is the one i was thinking of. I didnt even hesitate
People do that?
I rember i took the joy pill and the credits rolled in we happy few at the start of the game
And you get an achievement for it too.
Me after taking joy: "Whelp that was fun. What a great game!"
Trying to swim in Assassin's Creed 1.
How about Dragon Age Inquisition where you can get kicked out of the winter palace for not knowing how to behave at parties.
That can happen? Hahaha I’ll have to try that now. At least Sera will be proud
If your court approval gets too low you get kicked out of the party and so are not there to stop the assassination and get a game over screen.
Lorias but then you can just choose not to stop it later on anyway...
Lorias
What's worse is how easy it is to lose approval by being stupid. Literally just jump around the place, I've never seen approval drop so fast. Also when you first greet Celene when you enter the ballroom, if you pick the bottom option both times (ya know, the ones where you try to warn her that she's gonna get killed), you're instantly escorted out.
Bloody Orlesians. I can understand the jumping around you're at a fancy party but "the game" requires way too much subtlety for any of my Inquisitors to put up with.
Though if I'm honest I do like the fact that you can actually get kicked out of the party for just messing around.
I'm just gonna say, my fav example of dying for being dumb. Is in Sonic when you just stand there for a while... and he literally says "Fuck this, I'm out" and jumps off the level. Always will be funny and just plain a whole mood
The dumbest move to cause a Game Over in Dishonored is at the very first area, Dunwall Tower (prior to meeting with the queen and witnessing her assassination). As you scout around the area and notice High Overseer Campbell having his portrait painted, you will trigger a Game Over with the phrase, "You committed a capital offense," if you walk from Campbell to (and over) the area immediately to the painter's right side (possibly where he keeps his canvases). Upon doing this action, a piano sound will occur, Campbell will start to talk, blood drops will appear near the lower right side of the screen, and the Game Over Message will appear.
Cave Story: “Danger to your left! One touch is instant death!” Who built a house there?
So I have to brag about this here after the whole "children saying why" thing because I actually won that recently. We were driving past my brother's new school and when we say "oh that's where your daddy works." My three year old niece asks why. I tell her because that's where he goes. She says why. I say because he needs a job. She says why. I say because that's the way the American government decided people should get money. She again says why over and over until we get to " because the American revolution made it so we were an independent country from the British." She just blinked at me and looked away.
This made-up story might make some sense if not for the fact that over 10% of Americans are on food stamps because the government has literally decided working is not how people should get (enough) money. Well the bit about her just blinking and not wanting to look at you ever again makes sense.
@@3DMegadoodoo not true at all
Good on you for beating her at her own game! She got tired of the answers she couldn't understand and stopped following, lol. I would probably do this myself but I try to avoid kids whenever possible, XD!
Trying to swim in games that don't have a water level...
K Collier lol ikr
Learnt this that hard way in RDR1
What about in Fallout New Vegas' dead money, where everything tells you not to read Fredrick Sinclair's message to Dean? If you do it you get trapped in the Sierra Madre Vault forever.
" Why?"
"That is it, young man!"
XD
I genuinely loved Enter the Matrix, I loved how its story was woven throughout the movies, wish I had played Path of Neo though to
What about in saints row 4 when you chose to sacrifice yourself for the earth...
And Zinyak lied to you, obviously....
That kids why you don’t listen to aliens who quote Macbeth
"You chose... poorly" is my favourite achievement
Gloomy I actually had a five minute argument with my tv about how I didn’t choose poorly, I love that game :’)
Ummmmm...... I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I chose to sacrifice myself my first time through and until I saw your comment somehow I never realized he lied. Somehow I thought I actually saved everyone. It's been a few years since I played that game. I've gone this whole time thinking that i chose to die a hero and i was proud of that trophy. I might just be an idiot.
Ninja Panda not an idiot, the saviour of human kind!
You fool :p
You mean pick real answer and fight last boss only to be answer at internet search please fix some programs or you end up in fighting non stop........ 😐
What of romancing Morinth in Mass Effect 2?
Can you imagine someone taking the Blue pill and then saying “this was an awesome game” and never played again 😂
Karateka: start by going left. (That's the cliff you just climbed before the game started...)
Karateka: stay in fighting stance when rescuing the princess at the end. (She kicks you in the nuts!)
The Magic of Scheherazade: tell Rainy you'd like to quit. (That's exactly what happens.)
Maniac Mansion: press the red button marked "DO NOT PRESS" in the drained swimming pool. (To be fair, "READ BUTTON" isn't the most intuitive of commands...)
Lurkley Manor (now THERE's an obscure one for you): bring a flagon into the Flagon Spilling Room. (It's in the name, for sanity's sake.)
Dying over and over because you reload a save where you forget to heal
Trapped forever just like getting your car stuck on a rock and spending too much time trying to fix it
Saving mid fall, only to have you die instantly every. damn. time.
(Seriously, I know of someone that did that unintentionally in their Tomb Raider IV playthrough.)
Cam Macklem Dying over and over even when you load a save to get out of your death loop, when at the time you saved you were in perfect health.
Cam Macklem
Or saving right before you’re gonna die. That was a tricky situation to get out of when I first played Fallout 3, lol.
Skyrim... Lol
The problem with Kaz is that he was really hard to find, he doesn't move and doesn't say anything. I walked past him multiple times without noticing him while I searched for him.
But still I didn't needed that much time, only about two and a half day.
Mir fiel kein besserer Name ein If you explore a bit more, you can find documents giving you a rough estimate of where he is and you can interrogate a guard to find his exact location.
Justin RM I had the recordings, but like I said I walked past him multiple times without noticing him because he didn't move and made no sound.
The NightVisionGear would have been helpful in that situation, but I didn't know about it at that point of the game and I don't know if I had it already.
Wait, wait, wait - no mention of "Mass Effect 2" and having intercourse with Morinth?
I mean, come on, it is DIRECTLY said that the act will cost you your life, so you're basically agreeing to commit suicide. Understandable, given the context and all, but still :D
Survive < Get laid
As if Shepard would make any other choice?
Of course Shepard wouldn't make a difference choice (that's why I wrote it's understandable given the context :D)... still, one would think there is some restrain... Samara is hotter anyway :P
Really thought that choosing to sleep with Morinth after all the warnings about Ardat Yakshi bonding being fatal to the mate would be on this list XD
0:04 is dark souls community in a nutshell when someone complains about a boss
Jumping into the helicopter blades in the beginning of Prey
Yeap! AND it unlocks an achievement! :D
Yeah for a 🏆
The bigger Matrix question, what if you take both pills?
you ascend
and trip balls, alot
How about a list of terrible decisions you made that seemed smart at the time in games?
Hey hey, Nier Automata, there is a fish item that specifically tells you that if you eat it, you will die. it's not joking, I died...
I have ONE thing to say and ONLY ONE: where is the snake from "Getting over it?" (It may be not a real "game over", but it still takes you back to the start because you didn't listen to what the sign said)
