I can vouch for scars being magical. I had both of my ACLs repaired and have some wicked scars on my knees. I now possess the power to gain instant pain when I kneel.
+Cody Welter Mine are just severely deformed. Standing up, they look fairly normal, albeit a bit purple. Crouching though... The kneecap shifts way off to the side. Makes a comfy chin-rest though.
Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor deserves a mention - not for the protagonist, though having a held-together-by-magic slashed throat that starts bleeding again whenever you're ghost-busted is pretty impressive. Rather, it's the "only a flesh-wound" scars of the occasional lucky/determined Orc captains who somehow manage to turn up again after you'd very definitely stabbed them to death on your last encounter with them, each time sporting increasingly impressive and/or disfiguring scars as souvenirs.
I have a ten inch scar on my neck from when I had cancer and had the entire right half of my jaw removed. It looks like I got my throat slit. plus I have an 18 inch scar on my left leg from where they removed 7 inches of my fibia to replace the bone in my jaw. pretty awesome haha
+cloudbloom I have around 19 scars on my body, 18 on my right leg (some over a foot in length), and one oddly enough on my lip (I am not related to Desmond as far as I know). Had a rare disease at 10 ( a little over a decade ago) that caused the necrosis of the hip socket on the right side. It's called Perthes disease, and is extremely rare, since the age of ten I've had over 13 major hip and knee operations that lasted in recovery from 6 weeks to 6 months. It's left me with a scary high pain tolerance, and a better appreciation of life. Stay strong my brother in scars! I hope you are doing well now.
Orange Zone It's almost the same thing, really. The brazilian ones tend to have this air of "We're doing art here, just like in the theatre, excuse me peasants", so the acting isn't as over the top.
Orange Zone Absolutely. I meant to say the people doing them have this idea, so they tend to either be full comedy or more serious, without the 'screaming' and 'overreacting in spanish' stuff you see on the mexican novelas.
I like to add scars to my RPG characters to add... well character. Like my dude in Fallout 4 has a fading scar on his face that he received in the retaking of Anchorage Alaska, it's fading to symbolize the fact that he accepts who he is, and has moved on with his life before and after the bombs drop, but is still in the healing process. My Skyrim dude however has very noticeable scars to symbolize his thirst for battle and wearing his combat abilities for all to see (He's a Nord), he's is as proud of his scars as he is his skill in combat. And my guy in Dragon Age has no scars, to show he is untouched and unmarked by all the blood and battle, reflecting his un-scarred outlook on the world. I have secondary characters too, but I'd rather not ramble.
+Dom Locke I've got several Skyrim characters, but the main one of them has got a scar just beneath her eye, wich she got at very young age (9 years) before she could control the magic that runs in her family's blood. Cornered by some goblins the magic inside of her erupted, incinerating the goblins and as the one closest to her ran around flailing his arms, his claws struck her in the face, leaving her with a life-long reminder of how close death was and will be for the rest of her journeys...
+Dom Locke My Imperial character has a scar across the cheek and a bad eye. He lived in an orphanage in the Imperial City when it fell during the war. As the orphanage was dedicated to Talos, they did not fare well. The attendants were killed and the children abused. That is how he got the scar and now he hates all Thalmor and will kill them on site (even the guy in Markarth underkeep). Very dark, I know, but a good example of the scar to remember to hate.
WOW! You guys really get into these whole elaborate backstories huh? Cool good for you but majority just use scars to make their character look... Fearsome. If you think about it, scars are actually embarrassing reminders of how bad you screwed up. Perfect warriors will have no scars people.
Kody Buchan A "Perfect" warrior will have scars: Not as many as the foolish warrior, while not being completely "clean" like the coward. And in my case, she wasn't even supposed to become a warrior, as she was just a farmer's daughter.
In all fairness he's almost over 100 by the end of the books and has been fighting monsters since his early 20's. That's gonna accumulate a lot of scars.
+Alejandro Knoxville Witchers are basically humans, just... better. They're immune/resistant to many poisons and toxins, they're faster, stronger, have better eyesight and can see in the dark, hence the cat eyes. They live a very long time but it's unclear how old Geralt and Vesemir are. Geralt is presumed to be 50-100 years old, leaning towards 100. And Vesemir is thought to be 3-5 centuries old. Apparently no Witcher has ever died of old age, which could either mean that their life spans are infinite, or that they were all killed before age could take them.
In AC I always thought the scar was because in the earlier Animus- versions Desmond kinda projected his perception of his own body into the memories, like cosplaying as his ancestor. As the animus tech evolved, his anchestors started to look more like they actually looked and less like Desmond
The scars for Altair and Desmond can be (somewhat) explained. In the desmond's journey missions (optional), he mentions training and specifically a "bloody lip every once in a while." It's reasonable to assume he'd gotten his scar while training, probably near the end of his time on "the farm" for it to be so clear. Altair is a little less cut and dry, but again, a "reasonable" assumption can be made. Remember Abbas, the guy who wouldn't get out of your way near the start of AC1? Threw shade like it was no one's business? He and Altair grew up friends but, because of reasons, grew apart. When they were relatively young, and training together with metal swords, Abbas attacked Altair. The incident was serious enough to leave Altair another scar (citing Secret Crusade, here) on his side. It's a safe assumption that Altair may have gotten the facial scar from that fight, or, like Desmond, from another event later.
Crimson Brah I was working helping reform my house and a brick fell in my head. (houses in Brazil are made from bricks and cement, not wood in case you are from USA)
There's also the "I regret my whole life" scar, across one eye, as seen on Daud and Shay Cormac. (Btw, Aveline has a scar on her lips as well! Don't forget her!)
+Jhetner It may be an old joke but I laughed really loudly. My friend came into the room going "What!?" O_O Thank you. I've been dealing with an autistic, adhd, ocd 7 year old all day.
+Chris Horn hahaha well I can't help you on that, but you might get some cool scars... like scars on the inside... the ones you could never forget, I think they're called memories, yeah... you can't show them to anyone, but you know they're there :3
It's really funny that you mention Cockatrices, in one of my Table-Top RPG sessions (yes, I still play those) I surprised the GM and said that my new character with barely any points in the skill, and just hopped on a rabid bird and successfully tamed it. And so now Pony is a lapdog.
I have a vertical scar on the right side of my stomach from the time my first dog bit me when we were playing. His teeth didn't puncture the skin, but the skin that he caught ripped down the middle. The only things my cousin and mom used to take care of it were antiseptic and band-aids.
I actually have a scar on the back of my head, although it's covered by my hair, it can still be spotted. I got it from when I was a little boy, I fell off of one of those stools in the supermarket, broke my front teeth (I think.) and got sent to hospital. After my teeth were put background together (I think.), I had a bit of a tantrum and hit the back of my head HARD on a metal pole. The doctors then fixed that too.
Gary Smith from Bully, what a nice guy, but then you see scar over his right eye and you understand - he would be total Jerk. Jiub(Morrowind) - biggest eye scar i ever seen. Kratos (God of War) has several scars, one FROM ZEUS ! And don't forget about Adam Jensen (Deus Ex), he DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS scars, and awesome augmentation.
I have a scar on my scalp from when I fell down a staircase at Centenial Bank (IT WAS LIBERTY BANK AT THE TIME) and I didn't even need stitches to recover from that somehow
John Marstons (RDR) scars that tell you: "Don't mess with me, I'm a former baddy and have a history of drunken ragdoll barfights and stabbing my own hand repeatedly with a knife!"
Also in Fable 2 they gave you access to scar repairing potions in one of the DLCs. It's just a hit to the vanity meter that can be cleaned up by eating tofu, giving everyone free housing, or both.
I'm surprised Kazuya's "I got thrown off a cliff as a child and then lobbed into a volcano so now I'm possesed by the devil" torso and arm scar isn't on the list
+X-plode Hardly anyone today has a scar with a proud background story. They are mostly accidents or proof that you were a victim. Funfact: I got a scar from a sword (tried to catch it when it fell) and an aquaintance has one caused by a spear (broom mounted kitchen knife wielded by a British hooligan).
It often bothers me when characters have these really long scars directly across their eye, but their eye is perfectly fine. So characters like Assassin's Creed's Uncle Mario are quite refreshing, and show that battle scars are not fashion statements.
And good ol' Ezio got his from a street brawl... with a Templar's son... so kinda both I guess? I never even realized that Altair, Ezio and Desmond have matching scars. Now I need to go back and see if Connor and Edward have them too.
I know it's years later, but Connor and Edward do *not* have lip scars... It would have been cool if they showed each of Desmond's ancestors with lip scars, and how they got them.
KickyFut I think Desmond is genetically closest to Ezio and Altair... but it would also be kinda silly if Edward AND Connor had lip scars. I mean, my grandfathers didn't/don't have the scars that I have, nor do I have scars that they have... yet. It would just be very very weird.
Ive three scars on the exact same place on my forehead, all for fallingnwhen i was 5, 6 and 8, my skull has a slightly different shape because or it. I think it means im chosen.
+Jack Ream I was actually thinking about the scars from Fable 1 where every hit you take seems to add a new one. I even tried being a ranger and avoiding danger, that still wasn't enough to evade getting scars. That game was impossible not to get scarred in.
I may have really sucked at that game because, by the end, my character looked like a fat blob wrapped in a road map. He was also dressed like a pirate for no particular reason.
Skeletor P. Funk No disrespect intended but how? Halfway through my very first playthrough, That was the first time I had to drink a potion to survive a fight. I didn't even bother with magic because I remember magic making all challenge evaporate in the first game. Although to be fair, I realized in 2 very early on that swords were useless so I only used a gun and spec'd all of my skill points into it accordingly. Fable 3 was even worse on the "magic OP melee useless" spectrum thanks to spellweaving so I ended up being a gunslinger again to try and get some form of challenge without playing like an idiot outright, but that game was even easier. Lost Chapters was the only game in the entire series that even approaches difficult in my opinion. Though that was more or less due to actually having boss fights that required thought to defeat.
I like the "My dad tried to kill me by shoving a massive blade in my gut, but I survived and am now going to destroy the world" scar that Kratos got. It's a defining characteristic, along with his full body tattoo, and his "the Gods took my brother, thinking he was the prophecy child, and I tried to save him but they kicked my ass" eye scar.
+Englebert Magentaschweiger Kratos is kind of a whiney bitch though. He's like the spartan version of Kylo Ren. Unstoppable warrior, MASSIVE whiney bitch.
+AGM_Flatline He did get screwed over by the gods since birth. I don't know much about Kylo, but the way people talk about him makes him like an edgelord who rebelled because nobody paid attention to him.
I think the reason Sagat is pissed is actually because Ryu was an absolute bellend. Sagat had floored Ryu after beating him senseless in their fight and then offered him a hand up since he was a good sport. Ryu responded by going into rage mode and ripping a huge hole in Sagat's chest nearly killing him.
About that _Assassin's Creed_ scar, that's because they reused the Desmond model, but added robes to make the Altair model, then later the Ezio models.
I personally chalk it up to lack of ability and/or patience to make an entirely new model. Seriously, if you move the camera to look at Altair and Ezio's faces(At least, in the 1st 2 games) they look exactly like the face for Desmond.
River Greystoke II That is because the simulation makes Desmond see his face on all character he gets into (both Altair and later Ezio) as, well, his face, instead of some random weirdo from 1000 years ago.
In Fable 2, there actually is a way to remove the scars. I think it was the Knothole Island dlc that added potions that removed your scars, excess fat, reduced your height etc.
Yes! I'm totally guilty of reloading my save in Fable 2 if I got knocked out. More specifically I started that strategy after completing my first playthrough and having my character look absolutely awful at the end. When I replayed, I made a more conscious effort of not getting knocked out and reloading a save if I did which actually didn't happen that often. I just didn't want to look like total crap and getting knocked out just a few times will make you look like a monster. Lol
I, a fearless hero and not a totally average person, have a battle scar as well. It comes from my long arduous battle with a ruptured appendix. I battled for several hours, well actually the surgeons did when they extracted my appendix, but I battled my way through the deadly bacteria and kept myself alive with only a scar as large as the tip of my pinkie to prove.
I used to have several scars (they've faded a lot), on my face, particularly near the eye, from when I ran face first into a tree branch. Several years later, the tree had to be cut down. It was a moment of glorious vengeance.
Small explanation to the AC scars, the animus lets you relive the life they lived, and until ACIV, he who was in the animus, was who the animus animated. So while the actions are Altiar and Ezio's, the body "physically" running around is Desmond's.
What about Auron from Final Fantasy X's "I'm a grizzled badass" eye scar? Oh, and just so you know, Andy, your waving was not in vain, I watched every last bit of just so it wasn't.
I have a scar on the back of my head and neck, from a posterior fossa decompression and a craniocervical fusion, as well as a scar on my lower-back from two sections of the filum terminale. I also have a scar on my left bicep from a muscle biopsy, and various small circular scars on various parts of my legs from skin biopsies (three of them from nerve tissue testing, two of them where pre-melanoma moles were removed).
Kratos from the God of War series. There's the scar across his eye that he got from being back-handed as a kid by Ares, the scar across his abdomen from when Zeus impaled him with the Blade of Olympus, and also the burned forearms from when the chains from the Blades of Chaos were practically welded to his flesh.
Have OX done a video about badass videogame tattoos yet? I'd love to see that one. Corvo's hand tattoo in Dishonored. Booker's wrist tattoo in Bioshock: Infinite. Kratos' upper body tattoo in God of War. Jason Brody's tattoo/tatau in Far Cry 3. Edward's upper body tattoo's from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Ronan's torso in Murdered: Soul Suspect. And, of course, Jack's ENTIRE BODY in Mass Effect. Ah, the choices.
I have a bunch of scar that are slowly disappearing (mainly from cat scratches), but I also have a permanent dent on my forehead. What from? A kid dropped a brick on my head when I was around 4 or 5.
I got a scar from my aunt's cat - when it bit me - on my left cheek when I was 6 and didn't know any better, so I got it from getting to close to it, and now the cat loves me. I think it might've claimed me as one of its own, and accepted me as its kin. You're right, Andy & Jane ... "scars ARE magic"!!
2 years too late, but Kazuya Mishima from TEKKEN. In an old animated movie you can basically see how he got all of his scars. The one on his torso from when his father threw him off a cliff (this is also when he sold his soul for revenge and why he got the devil gene) and then the scars over his shoulder/back from the tournament when attacked by mutated and manipulated dinosaurs because his adoptive brother Lee refused to let him win (he did win either way)
A scar on the face can also indicate that you survived an attack from an evil wizard whom shalt not be named using one of the most powerful of the forbidden spells.
I have a scar on my forehead from running into a doorframe when I was 3. It either tells me my hogwarts letter is 18 years too late or that I was a really stupid toddler......
I have a scar in my philtrum [ the bit between your nose and upper lip ] from when I was a kid and my friend threw his triceratops toy at my face, the horn on its nose went straight through the centre of my philtrum and I've got a faded line scar from where they stitched it back together.
I've got a scar on the back of my calf, which serves as a fun reminder that leaving your radio with the broken aerial by the side of your bed - right where you get out in fact - is a bad idea. Nothing like starting the day by finding a strip of your own skin on an aerial!
In kindergarten I pretended I was in a plane and needed to hold the door closed, by taking a stick and setting it down between a tree that was split in two, it went up again and I landed on a rock. So i woke up after two minutes, scratched my head, got blood all over my hand, shrugged, and went and took a nap on a bench. Luckily one of my friends saw it and went to an adult.
In MK current timeline, Kuai Liang got his scar from Kano instead when the former was assigned by Raiden to retreive one of the Kamidogou daggers. Kano took it before Kuai does and used that dagger to slash his right eye and became possessed by that dagger's power.
Apparently, I was a wild child that couldn't sit still for anything as throughout my childhood, I've managed to get not one, not two, but three scars all on the left side of my face. I refer to them as my beauty marks. One was a lip scar from face-planting so hard, it split completely to the nose. Another one is a dot scar smack-dab in the middle of my forehead from tripping and headbutting the corner of a coffee table. The last one was a head scar from getting accidentally clothes-lined by a rusty chain from a dog. Good times, painful times.
I can vouch for scars being magical. I had both of my ACLs repaired and have some wicked scars on my knees. I now possess the power to gain instant pain when I kneel.
i had one done. How did you break both at the same time?
+DJ OakeyDoakey Not at the same time thankfully, but both in the last 3 years. First one playing volleyball, second playing indoor soccer.
+mayowan16 Oh yes, mine too! We can add the magical power of grossing out our family and friends when they here them, haha.
+Cody Welter Mine are just severely deformed. Standing up, they look fairly normal, albeit a bit purple. Crouching though... The kneecap shifts way off to the side. Makes a comfy chin-rest though.
This is why I don't do sports, actually I'm just lazy...
Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor deserves a mention - not for the protagonist, though having a held-together-by-magic slashed throat that starts bleeding again whenever you're ghost-busted is pretty impressive.
Rather, it's the "only a flesh-wound" scars of the occasional lucky/determined Orc captains who somehow manage to turn up again after you'd very definitely stabbed them to death on your last encounter with them, each time sporting increasingly impressive and/or disfiguring scars as souvenirs.

You are ultimate badass.
Holy shit
+outsidexbox notice meh naruto scars please *^*
+akawhut what's badass is the fact that not only he survived it, but also that he can talk in the way he does about it
+cloudbloom I have around 19 scars on my body, 18 on my right leg (some over a foot in length), and one oddly enough on my lip (I am not related to Desmond as far as I know).

I have a scar on my forehead from a snowball... sadly that tells you everything you need to know about me...
Just say you fought off a bear or something!
A bear threw a snowball at you.
X-plode T'was an un-bear-able experience
+TheRupertLitterbin man are you cereal?
Here to comment (for now) im so cereal, you just need to add milk!
The only thing I got from this video was that Mike watches Brazilian telenovelas. Unsurprisingly.
+Fernando Batista Are brazilian novelas harder to follow than the mexican ones?
he really seems the type when you think about it.
Orange Zone It's almost the same thing, really. The brazilian ones tend to have this air of "We're doing art here, just like in the theatre, excuse me peasants", so the acting isn't as over the top.
Fernando Batista
I'm not that into novelas, but they really don't look "artsy" or "deep" in any way...Just basic stories diluted to hell...
Orange Zone Absolutely. I meant to say the people doing them have this idea, so they tend to either be full comedy or more serious, without the 'screaming' and 'overreacting in spanish' stuff you see on the mexican novelas.
That intro cutscene to FF8 still stands as one of the most intense intros I've ever seen.
I like to add scars to my RPG characters to add... well character.

"Do you know how i got these scars?"
"From batman?"
"FROM BATMAN"
Ah, another HISHE fan
you guys forgot the "I don't want to lose count" scars on Victor Zsasz in the Arkhamverse
He was never very good at maths.
I always thought,"why didn't he just keep a notebook to keep count?"
+Mandhir Seera VIDEO GAME scars, not originally from a comic series scars.
+1UpEXP -_- uhh... What about two face ?
+Ashish Ashu because you can lose a notebook.
Kratos's huge scar on his stomach in God of War 2 to indicate either "i just went to hell and came back", or "my daddy tried to kill me".
The amount of scars that Geralt has is insane.
In all fairness he's almost over 100 by the end of the books and has been fighting monsters since his early 20's.
That's gonna accumulate a lot of scars.
+Joshua Davies I always thought he was younger than that, like 60-70 in the books. Don't know where I heard that though.
+Louis Norton He iant human...

+Xtreme Games, I think they call that scar "Revenge".
+The Onyx Eclipse this made me laugh more than it should have
Well now...
The scars for Altair and Desmond can be (somewhat) explained.
In the desmond's journey missions (optional), he mentions training and specifically a "bloody lip every once in a while." It's reasonable to assume he'd gotten his scar while training, probably near the end of his time on "the farm" for it to be so clear.

Shepard's scars were like Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader.
I have a scar in my forehead that I always say it was from a knife fight. The real story is way less glorious.
+Chris
Cool. Now you have to give us the real story.
It's the rules, you know.
Crimson Brah I was working helping reform my house and a brick fell in my head. (houses in Brazil are made from bricks and cement, not wood in case you are from USA)
+Chris houses are made from wood in the US?!?
I'm not.
I'm also impressed, since 'brick to the face' is still pretty hazardous.
+Natalie Bos The inside yes, then brick over the wood.
There's also the "I regret my whole life" scar, across one eye, as seen on Daud and Shay Cormac.
(Btw, Aveline has a scar on her lips as well! Don't forget her!)
Should've put:
'I have come back from the dead several times' scar for Shadow of Mordor.
what about the "I got branded by a Siren in a Vault" scar?
+Khalil Jones Yeah totally should have been on this list!
Cheeky borderlands reference?
***** Yeah, if I was a fictional character, I totally would.
It's pretty rare to get a vault symbol *exploded into your FACE!* 😅
I mean it's practically his complete motivation for all of Borderlands 2!
I used to be a biker, until I took the road to the knee
+Jhetner sorry but that joke is 6 years too old, funny though
+Valsoray Gaming there's a saying, "Old is Gold"
+Jhetner It may be an old joke but I laughed really loudly. My friend came into the room going "What!?" O_O
Thank you. I've been dealing with an autistic, adhd, ocd 7 year old all day.
+Chris Horn hahaha well I can't help you on that, but you might get some cool scars... like scars on the inside... the ones you could never forget, I think they're called memories, yeah... you can't show them to anyone, but you know they're there :3
+Jhetner I love you man. XD You're hilarious.
It's really funny that you mention Cockatrices, in one of my Table-Top RPG sessions (yes, I still play those) I surprised the GM and said that my new character with barely any points in the skill, and just hopped on a rabid bird and successfully tamed it. And so now Pony is a lapdog.
I think let it go jokes have gone cold
you deserve a cookie for that lol
+Regretted I liked it, but I think that joke might get a chilly reception.
.................
I feel like we're getting the cold shoulder here

I have a scar on my foot from when I accidentally stepped on my cat in the dark...

What about Big Boss' scars in MGS V: The Phantom Pain?
And the shrapnel, eye patch and being shot in the everything.

Gary Smith from Bully, what a nice guy, but then you see scar over his right eye and you understand - he would be total Jerk.
Jiub(Morrowind) - biggest eye scar i ever seen.
Kratos (God of War) has several scars, one FROM ZEUS !
And don't forget about Adam Jensen (Deus Ex), he DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS scars, and awesome augmentation.
I have a scar on my scalp from when I fell down a staircase at Centenial Bank (IT WAS LIBERTY BANK AT THE TIME) and I didn't even need stitches to recover from that somehow
John Marstons (RDR) scars that tell you: "Don't mess with me, I'm a former baddy and have a history of drunken ragdoll barfights and stabbing my own hand repeatedly with a knife!"
Also in Fable 2 they gave you access to scar repairing potions in one of the DLCs. It's just a hit to the vanity meter that can be cleaned up by eating tofu, giving everyone free housing, or both.
Really bad puns leave me scarred for life.
I'm surprised Kazuya's "I got thrown off a cliff as a child and then lobbed into a volcano so now I'm possesed by the devil" torso and arm scar isn't on the list
I have a scar on my lip like ezio Auditore except I got mine from a cat 😂
Maybe I'm an assassin like ezio!
kandice G The cat gifted you with a scar...use it well, Assassin.
I got a 30cm scar running from my foot past my shins to my calf from trying to catch a lizard as a kid😬
I have a scar on my head when my PS2 fell on it after I tripped over the controller cord.
That is the nerdiest injury ever.
+X-plode Hardly anyone today has a scar with a proud background story. They are mostly accidents or proof that you were a victim.
Funfact: I got a scar from a sword (tried to catch it when it fell) and an aquaintance has one caused by a spear (broom mounted kitchen knife wielded by a British hooligan).
I love how far this channel has gone xD PROUD OF U AND ALL UR AWESOMENESS OUTSIDEXBOX!!
Handsome jacks face is pretty much one big scar
It often bothers me when characters have these really long scars directly across their eye, but their eye is perfectly fine.
So characters like Assassin's Creed's Uncle Mario are quite refreshing, and show that battle scars are not fashion statements.
Does Booker DeWitt's "AD" scar on the back of his left hand count? That one says a lot (and literally says something too).
I was just thinking of that (and of Handsome Jack from Borderlands, but that's another story)
I've gotten stitches on 5 separate occasions, and they have all been on my face.
Desmond got his in a bar fight and Altair from a fight with Templar
And good ol' Ezio got his from a street brawl... with a Templar's son... so kinda both I guess?
I never even realized that Altair, Ezio and Desmond have matching scars. Now I need to go back and see if Connor and Edward have them too.
I know it's years later, but Connor and Edward do *not* have lip scars...
It would have been cool if they showed each of Desmond's ancestors with lip scars, and how they got them.
KickyFut I think Desmond is genetically closest to Ezio and Altair... but it would also be kinda silly if Edward AND Connor had lip scars. I mean, my grandfathers didn't/don't have the scars that I have, nor do I have scars that they have... yet. It would just be very very weird.
Kazuya's scar from Tekken, it looks even cooler when he transforms into Devil
No recognition for Handsome Jack's scar from Borderlands the Pre-Sequel?
I know, they should have at least mentioned it.
Ive three scars on the exact same place on my forehead, all for fallingnwhen i was 5, 6 and 8, my skull has a slightly different shape because or it. I think it means im chosen.
Wait people actually managed to lose fights in Fable 2?
+Jack Ream I was actually thinking about the scars from Fable 1 where every hit you take seems to add a new one. I even tried being a ranger and avoiding danger, that still wasn't enough to evade getting scars. That game was impossible not to get scarred in.
I may have really sucked at that game because, by the end, my character looked like a fat blob wrapped in a road map. He was also dressed like a pirate for no particular reason.
They happened in Fable 3 as well.
Skeletor P. Funk No disrespect intended but how? Halfway through my very first playthrough, That was the first time I had to drink a potion to survive a fight. I didn't even bother with magic because I remember magic making all challenge evaporate in the first game. Although to be fair, I realized in 2 very early on that swords were useless so I only used a gun and spec'd all of my skill points into it accordingly.
Fable 3 was even worse on the "magic OP melee useless" spectrum thanks to spellweaving so I ended up being a gunslinger again to try and get some form of challenge without playing like an idiot outright, but that game was even easier. Lost Chapters was the only game in the entire series that even approaches difficult in my opinion. Though that was more or less due to actually having boss fights that required thought to defeat.
+Pyrithe with magic barrier always on you won't have any scars in Fable 1!
How about the, "I got my master killed" scar? Reinhardt from Overwatch bears this beauty across his left eye.
This vid is really scar y..
ha ha ha.... ha...haaa... umm...
+TERRY. W HA! No.
+TERRY. W No.
weres handsome jack? comments anyone?
+Hayden Smith Yeah ikr. that scar is second only to harry potter's lol
+Lyle Mitchell yep
Those pretzels *did* suck.
too handsome for scars
Englebert Magentaschweiger HA!
gotta say, having watched this video for the 50039th time I still laugh at it, you guys are masters of your art
I like the "My dad tried to kill me by shoving a massive blade in my gut, but I survived and am now going to destroy the world" scar that Kratos got. It's a defining characteristic, along with his full body tattoo, and his "the Gods took my brother, thinking he was the prophecy child, and I tried to save him but they kicked my ass" eye scar.
Conclusion: Kratos is a badass among badasses.
+Englebert Magentaschweiger Kratos is kind of a whiney bitch though. He's like the spartan version of Kylo Ren. Unstoppable warrior, MASSIVE whiney bitch.
+AGM_Flatline He did get screwed over by the gods since birth. I don't know much about Kylo, but the way people talk about him makes him like an edgelord who rebelled because nobody paid attention to him.
Alex Perez He was, still Kratos still whines about EVERYTHING. Kratos is basically just Greek Edgelord
+AGM_Flatline He doesn't really whine, it's more like he takes action and murders everyone unlucky enough to get in his path.
Says that Desmond in Revelations doesn't have a scar, proceeds to show a clip from Revelations showing his scar.
I think the reason Sagat is pissed is actually because Ryu was an absolute bellend. Sagat had floored Ryu after beating him senseless in their fight and then offered him a hand up since he was a good sport. Ryu responded by going into rage mode and ripping a huge hole in Sagat's chest nearly killing him.
seriously guys this video is so funny, specially that ezio bit ,my god
keep on the good work
I have a scar on my lip, OH MY GOD I MUST BE AN ASSASSIN :O
I also have a scar on the back of my head where I fell off the bed when I was little
Nice video, love you guys! ... that beep at the end killed me while wearing earbuds, though. Figured I’d mention it.
we do appreciate you waving your hands for a ridiculously long time Andy, we really do.
About that _Assassin's Creed_ scar, that's because they reused the Desmond model, but added robes to make the Altair model, then later the Ezio models.
That is because the Ezio in simulation is supposed to look FOR YOU as... You, so you dont flip the shit.
And that is why you dont skip cutscenes...
I personally chalk it up to lack of ability and/or patience to make an entirely new model. Seriously, if you move the camera to look at Altair and Ezio's faces(At least, in the 1st 2 games) they look exactly like the face for Desmond.
River Greystoke II
That is because the simulation makes Desmond see his face on all character he gets into (both Altair and later Ezio) as, well, his face, instead of some random weirdo from 1000 years ago.
I'm not talking in-universe. The scar is never talked about in-universe. I was talking about why the scar was there from a real-world perspective.
the let it go reference sends both chills and face palms down my spine.
How can it be a face palm if it's down your spine?
+X-plode it went through my face and down my spine, leaving a scar of disappointment
In Fable 2, there actually is a way to remove the scars. I think it was the Knothole Island dlc that added potions that removed your scars, excess fat, reduced your height etc.
I have a mental scar from my experiences a certain post apocalyptic quarry.
This is the most sarcastic Outside Xbox video yet I think and that really says something. Love it.
Much better than the last 2 Videos, well done Oxbox.
I`ve got a scar on my Arm from falling through a Window, the closest to being a videogame Hero i will ever come.
I have a scar from when I cut my arm on the edge of my desk. That says enough about me
Keep waving until show of the week,Andy. I will be watching.
" and the scars remind me that the past is real. tear my heart open, just to feel"
Yes! I'm totally guilty of reloading my save in Fable 2 if I got knocked out. More specifically I started that strategy after completing my first playthrough and having my character look absolutely awful at the end. When I replayed, I made a more conscious effort of not getting knocked out and reloading a save if I did which actually didn't happen that often. I just didn't want to look like total crap and getting knocked out just a few times will make you look like a monster. Lol
Minor one, but: the "I hate them bloody Spies" scar on Sniper's model in TF2, ever since the Sniper/Spy update back in 2009. Nice detail.
I really enjoyed this video. Also, Jane's outfit is quite pretty as well!
I, a fearless hero and not a totally average person, have a battle scar as well. It comes from my long arduous battle with a ruptured appendix. I battled for several hours, well actually the surgeons did when they extracted my appendix, but I battled my way through the deadly bacteria and kept myself alive with only a scar as large as the tip of my pinkie to prove.
I used to have several scars (they've faded a lot), on my face, particularly near the eye, from when I ran face first into a tree branch. Several years later, the tree had to be cut down. It was a moment of glorious vengeance.
Small explanation to the AC scars, the animus lets you relive the life they lived, and until ACIV, he who was in the animus, was who the animus animated. So while the actions are Altiar and Ezio's, the body "physically" running around is Desmond's.
What about Auron from Final Fantasy X's "I'm a grizzled badass" eye scar?
Oh, and just so you know, Andy, your waving was not in vain, I watched every last bit of just so it wasn't.
I have a scar on the back of my head and neck, from a posterior fossa decompression and a craniocervical fusion, as well as a scar on my lower-back from two sections of the filum terminale. I also have a scar on my left bicep from a muscle biopsy, and various small circular scars on various parts of my legs from skin biopsies (three of them from nerve tissue testing, two of them where pre-melanoma moles were removed).
Kratos from the God of War series. There's the scar across his eye that he got from being back-handed as a kid by Ares, the scar across his abdomen from when Zeus impaled him with the Blade of Olympus, and also the burned forearms from when the chains from the Blades of Chaos were practically welded to his flesh.
Have OX done a video about badass videogame tattoos yet?
I'd love to see that one.
Corvo's hand tattoo in Dishonored.
Booker's wrist tattoo in Bioshock: Infinite.
Kratos' upper body tattoo in God of War.
Jason Brody's tattoo/tatau in Far Cry 3.
Edward's upper body tattoo's from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
Ronan's torso in Murdered: Soul Suspect.
And, of course, Jack's ENTIRE BODY in Mass Effect.
Ah, the choices.
Ok, jad to pause to say that the SubZero Let it go joke was hilarious.😂 I love you guys, awesoe video.:D
"Speaking of embarrassing failures from the past, Fable 2" Is all that needed to be said.
I have a bunch of scar that are slowly disappearing (mainly from cat scratches), but I also have a permanent dent on my forehead. What from? A kid dropped a brick on my head when I was around 4 or 5.
I got a scar from my aunt's cat - when it bit me - on my left cheek when I was 6 and didn't know any better, so I got it from getting to close to it, and now the cat loves me.
I think it might've claimed me as one of its own, and accepted me as its kin. You're right, Andy & Jane ... "scars ARE magic"!!
2 years too late, but Kazuya Mishima from TEKKEN. In an old animated movie you can basically see how he got all of his scars. The one on his torso from when his father threw him off a cliff (this is also when he sold his soul for revenge and why he got the devil gene) and then the scars over his shoulder/back from the tournament when attacked by mutated and manipulated dinosaurs because his adoptive brother Lee refused to let him win (he did win either way)
8:29 or just use a scar healling potion that can bought from the stylist in Knothole Island
I clicked on this so fast. Wonderful video as always! But I can't believe I had to watch it twice to get the "let it go" joke...
A scar on the face can also indicate that you survived an attack from an evil wizard whom shalt not be named using one of the most powerful of the forbidden spells.
Y'know, I did clicked away at the end leaving the audio on, but came back especially to see Andy wave goodbye.
I have a scar on my forehead from running into a doorframe when I was 3.
It either tells me my hogwarts letter is 18 years too late or that I was a really stupid toddler......
The "Didn't see that coming" eye scar from Thief, when Garrett got a mechanical eye replacement.
Handsome Jack's scar from Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! Sorta heralds his decent into madness and evil. That's super important to his character.
That Frozen joke actually made me laugh; I love this channel.
Kazuya Mishima. great big scar across the chest from being thrown off a cliff from his father. talk about tough love eh?
I have a scar in my philtrum [ the bit between your nose and upper lip ] from when I was a kid and my friend threw his triceratops toy at my face, the horn on its nose went straight through the centre of my philtrum and I've got a faded line scar from where they stitched it back together.
Renegade scars are reason why I never can go paragon in Mass Effect...
Because look at those scars and eyes, they're *glowing*
I've got a scar on the back of my calf, which serves as a fun reminder that leaving your radio with the broken aerial by the side of your bed - right where you get out in fact - is a bad idea. Nothing like starting the day by finding a strip of your own skin on an aerial!
In kindergarten I pretended I was in a plane and needed to hold the door closed, by taking a stick and setting it down between a tree that was split in two, it went up again and I landed on a rock. So i woke up after two minutes, scratched my head, got blood all over my hand, shrugged, and went and took a nap on a bench. Luckily one of my friends saw it and went to an adult.
In MK current timeline, Kuai Liang got his scar from Kano instead when the former was assigned by Raiden to retreive one of the Kamidogou daggers. Kano took it before Kuai does and used that dagger to slash his right eye and became possessed by that dagger's power.
Apparently, I was a wild child that couldn't sit still for anything as throughout my childhood, I've managed to get not one, not two, but three scars all on the left side of my face. I refer to them as my beauty marks. One was a lip scar from face-planting so hard, it split completely to the nose. Another one is a dot scar smack-dab in the middle of my forehead from tripping and headbutting the corner of a coffee table. The last one was a head scar from getting accidentally clothes-lined by a rusty chain from a dog. Good times, painful times.
YES! THANK YOU FOR MAKING FABLE #8
