@@Flipchu actually no. The NPCs were never this problematic in those games. In fact, they were never problematic. Perhaps a bit slow at times, but the dialogue was always intriguing and very relevant.
My favorite is when the NPC moves slower than the player's "run" speed, but faster than the player's "walk" speed, so it's impossible to keep pace with them no matter what you do.
@@l4gNice opinion, but there’s just one small problem. Who asked? Like, genuinely, who asked? Who gave YOU the talking stick I’ll tell you, NOBODY did. Nobody asked you. There are zero people who asked among us. Look I invited everyone who asked to this party! AYO group photo of everyone who asked! Hey check it out it’s a bus full of everyone who asked! You know what man, I’ll do you a favor. Clearly, we can’t see who asked, so I’m gonna do it myself. I’m gonna find out who asked! Sailing the seven seas to find out who asked. YOOO I literally found the one piece before I found who asked! I literally climbed to the top Mount Everest and didn’t find who asked! Keep searching boys, we gotta find who asked. I just infiltrated the largest satellite in the world and still can’t locate who asked! I LITERALLY FOUND THE CURE TO CANCER BEFORE I FOUND WHO ASKED! I’m on maximum render distance and still can find who asked! I witnessed the collapse of human society resulting from a global nuclear war and now life in the grave of the broken world ravaged radiation for years on end before I found who asked. I visited EVERY planet in no man’s sky and still didn’t find who asked. Doctor Strange looked through fourteen million different timelines and not in one of them did anyone ask. I literally searched through every backrooms level and didn’t find who asked. I LITERALLY DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN AND GOD HIMSELF DIDNT KNOW WHO ASKED. Leaving earth’s atmosphere to expand the range of our search. I literally found EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE on MARS before I found who asked! I have achieved intergalactic travel before I found who asked. I just found a DYSON SPHERE before I found who asked. I found the edge of the universe before I found who asked. I literally visited every single planet in the entire universe before I found who asked. I am literally witnessing the death of almost every star around me before I found who asked. The light of the earth is slowly fading. I have searched across galaxies leaving no stone unturned, yet I am afraid my time in this universe is finally running out. It’s a shame, really. I’ve witnessed stars being birthed, and those same stars dying. I’ve seen everything there is to see in this beautiful universe. This whole time, I’ve been caught up with such a petty task. Instead of enjoying my time while it lasted, I was distracted by the beauty of it all. I don’t regret what I’ve done though. The question that started it all, who asked, has finally been answered. I’ve searched every nook and cranny in this ENTIRE UNIVERSE. I can confidently say, better than anybody, that truly NOBODY ASKED.
I really like how _Red Dead Redemption_ did this by letting you press a button to follow the NPC. Same speed, same direction, and everything. This allowed the dialogue to flow better because you were more immersed in it without having to go to a cutscene.
I love how Caleb always adds those little situationally specific and accurate 'taunts' like, "You have time, right?" "You're not doing anything after this, right?"
Sometimes the AI will stop advancing until you’re in a specific area, even if you passed the area. So you have backtrack to the “talking zone” so they will continue to walk forward again
Even if it's unrealistic, NPC's should probably sprint if you have to follow them (Just pop a quest marker on them like everything else in case the player loses them somehow) or have them do a quick jog if it's one of those stealth follows. That, or have a way to skip the scene entirely such as "I can find my way there myself" for those tour follows, or "I might know where they are going" if you have found the secret entrance to their base through a knowledge checkpoint or something from a previous playthrough.
the greatest test is when a dev makes a game that looks like you can jump in it, but there's no dedicated jump button. i just don't know what to do when nothing is going on.
My favorite part is the fact that when the NPC said "it's locked", in reference to the door, the lock was actually on the NPC's side of the door so all he had to do was twist it, but instead came up with an elaborate scheme to go visit a lock smith which may or may not lead to another unnecessary delay.
You know what's even worse? After you get done beating all the enemies losing quite a bit of health in the process, the NPC has the audacity to say, "We did it." Like who is we. At that point, I'm about ready to kill them myself.
@@SuperSox97 Or when they pull a Barney Calhoun by getting between you and the enemy to rub their face all over the enemy's gun without firing their own at all while yelling at you to help them.
The ones where you're escorting like 15 guys, and you don't mind that one or two die along the way, until you get to the end and there's a door that needs a minimum of 14 guys to open.
I felt that "y'all win." Happens everytime I get a gamebreaking bug after 4 hours with no autosave. I'm so glad modern games save every 5 seconds when you do anything at all.
That's literally what happened while I was playing Sonic adventure 2. I was on the hero story. After I beat Rouge it showed her infront me even though I knocked her into the lava
I will never not be impressed with how accurately he represents video games in real life. That camera and arm movements from the player's pov is pretty much PERFECT!
"If you design a quest where I need to follow an NPC and they move SLOWER than my running speed but FASTER than my walking speed you are banned from making video games for one year"
While it’s annoying it is actually purposely done bc if they run as fast as you one mistake and you lose the escort, and if they walk slower then your own walk, the mission is painfully slow. Having the ability to walk and let the npc catch up or run to catch up to the npc is sadly the best solution 😭💀
@@cheddarsunchipsyes8144 Assassin's creed 1 (and maybe 2?) had the problem with too many cutscene/escort missions and your walk speeds were different making gameplay very odd. They fixed in later games by allowing you to follow along at the perfect speed during such missions.
@@Car1oCity i was actually gonna see what you got and its a shitty "second channel" with no content. Well guess what, not looking for the first one. You dont need a second channel when you only have a couple videos and less than 3 million subs. Goodbye.
Ghost of Tsushima did a good job of making the NPC always move faster than the Player so that if you are following them or they are following you, they are are either ahead of you at all times or just a few paces behind.
I like the Assassin’s Creed approach where you get a “follow” prompt and just walk in sync with the NPC. Sure it “takes control away from the player” which some people don’t like, but it does do what I want to do. I forgot what game it was, but there was also an option where the NPC will just keep pace with you so if you walk they walk, if you run, they run and the game will do it’s best to keep then within a couple meters of you.
Coincidence I saw this comment cause I’m playing that game right now. I’m on Iki island, haven’t finished the second act of taking back Shimura’s castle yet. Still have to face the eagle. Bro, this game is amazing!! & the director of John Wick is directing the Ghost of Tsushima movie! I’m so hyped!
I remember an especially bad one in Half-Life 1 where you have to stop this giant spinning blades trap for an NPC scientist walking to the door you need to get to, and if you don’t, he just walks into the trap and gets shredded. Like he couldn’t see the giant spinning blades and just slowly walked into it? And he’s supposed to be a genius working for Black Mesa yet is not smart enough to not walk into a clearly visible spinning blade?
@@idk-vm9wx True. The amount of time I spent jogging around the lobby waiting for the tutor I needed to randomly spawn is why I stopped playing Dragonball Xenoverse & a big part of the reason I'll never buy the sequel. If your strategy to convince me to buy a sequel is by making the first game bad on purpose so you can "fix" some of it for $60 later after I already bought DLC that new players will get for free, you can fuck right off.
My favorite part about these follow missions is stepping out of the mission's area to pick up some shiny object I saw on the ground while the NPC was taking their sweet ass time, coming back and finding out that the mission reset and I need to start it from scratch.
The worst is when the NPC has to get to a certain spot for the event to progress and instead they bug out while walking over there and start acting like they aren't even on the quest with you and walk back to where they normally chill. Then you try to get them to talk to you again but they won't cause you technically are still on the quest with them...
This! One time I was doing a mod in minecraft, and I was on this quest where I had to follow the NPC, and they got stuck and wouldn't continue the quest so i couldn't follow them anymore
"If you design a quest where I have to follow an NPC that is faster than my walking speed but slower than my running speed you are banned for making video games for one year" - Sun Tzu
So true like this is spot on, either the NPC walks so slow that a grandma can walk faster than them or if you go on ahead they'll just stop until you go back behind them to follow. It's crazy that lots of games have these kinds of missions and NPC characters that are programmed specifically to do this to us but at least there's times when it's hilarious while other times it's like being tortured...
My favorite is when you get too far ahead cuz you know where they're going anyway If you played before and they f****** stop so you HAVE to stay next to them.
No Tsushima is annoying af. Unskipable walking bs and long cutscenes like wtf. Annoying ash when you’re very busy and have limited play time. Only to spend the majority of game time on shit like that
I love it when they start trying to walk there and Jin's like "Look you haven't acknowledged it but I know you have a horse just offscreen so I'm hopping on mine and moving and you'd better figure it out"
The worst part is they move slower than walk speed, but faster than crouch speed, so the only way to keep up with them is to stand in front of the them and have them push you along with them, assuming they don't get stuck on you.
Regular RUclipsr= This is brought to you by "RaID shAdOW LEGENDS!!" Caleb= Literally got Google as a sponsor for a vid.. It's amazing how real talent that isn't all borrowed material or raunchy comedy propelled this bright young man into crazy success that is honestly still underrated for his ability. Caleb, stay exactly how you are man!
Don’t forget the part where you try to push a lever or something to open a door and the game doesn’t let you, only for the NPC to catch up and tell you that’s what you have to do
It's even more frustrating when the NPC requires you to be in close proximity to them or else they just stop dead in their tracks instead of continuing at a decent pace.
The NPCS be slow as hell and if you go too far you get a warning. Then they magically teleport you back to the beginning and you gotta start the whole quest all over again. Blows my mind!
I remember playing AC Origins, and they had a button you could click to auto follow NPCs who led you around, pure bliss. Those devs, and the ones that teleport the NPCs to you, and have the NPCs run to match your speed all deserve a special place in heaven, truly 🤣
walking in front of him and just having him turn around and start talking to you with like an "idle" quote resonates PURE skyrim energy and the exact feeling of having to follow a slow-ass npc on quests, absolutely glorious depiction
"hey, wait for me!" (refuses to move until you get close again) *"if your target gets too far you'll fail the mission"* (takes you back to the beginning) and last "follow me" (triggers 30 different enemies and leaves you behind)
Reminds me of that one quest in Oblivion where you had to follow that dark elf allllllll the way to a ruin. It was part of the Fighter's Guild questline. He WALKS all the way there. Mind you, your character walks slower than an NPC and jogs faster than an NPC, so you have to constantly do a burst-speed of jog and walk. I hate it so much when devs put that stuff in
There was one side quest in Fallout 4 where you conspire with a bartender to help a cowardly radio DJ gain more confidence. After each stage, you have to follow the bartender to a side room, but if you follow too close, he’ll turn around and shout “DRINKS! What do you want, my friend!” And starts trying to sell you moonshine.
1:05 I'd say just pause it and leave everything on, like we used to in the days before Saves existed, but with how everything is these days you'd either be timed out of your session or the console would go to sleep on it's own and fuck you over anyway.
The thing that gets me after all these years is that Calebcity was one of the VERY few Viners that managed to still be funny after Vine. So many Viners went to RUclips or whatever and... they needed that 7 second limit. They were not entertaining. Calebcity is STILL insanely funny. True talent here.
I love when the npc teleports with when you fast travel in some games. Not having to wait on them is the best. Whoever is the person responsible for doing marketing at Google is making very good choices. Google's new phone ads are highly watchable and now sponsoring Calebcity.
Along with the comedy, I absolutely love how you recreate video game perspectives/effects. To give just one of many examples - I immediately recognized and replayed the moment the game went from gameplay mode to cutscene mode with the frame around the screen. Your videos are one of my favorite things to watch!!
Your film making skills improved so much since I started watching you with every skit you show off a new camera trick it's quite impressive! Love your content you are my favourite who recreates silly tropes

It's crazy that lots of games have these kinds of missions and NPC characters that are programmed specifically to do this to us but at least there's times when it's hilarious while other times it's like being tortured...
Or other times the NPC needs you to defend him from incoming enemies and if you get too far, he will get killed by the enemies.
My favorite is when you get too far ahead cuz you know where they're going anyway If you played before and they f****** stop so you HAVE to stay next to them.
“Oops, my shoes are untied”
-NPC quote of the year
0:31 IS LITERALLY THE MOST TRUE THING I HAVE EVER SEEN THATS CRAZY
“I have work in 20 minutes PLEASE!” Is too fucking relatable. Looking at you yakuza.
“I got work in 20 minutes” hurt my soul
Im more impressed the NPC knew exactly how far away a locksmith was.
2:01 "y'all win, you beat me. I can't do it. You beat me, y'all win"
He sounds so defeated 😂😂
I would too
And this is why I love ghost of tsushima. Whether it's on foot or horseback they are always slightly faster than you so you can actually follow them
Witcher 3 did it first though
No Tsushima is annoying af. Unskipable walking bs and long cutscenes like wtf. Annoying ash when you’re very busy and have limited play time. Only to spend the majority of game time on shit like that
@@yenwuraaku8562 we get it you hate lore. You did basically buy a playable movie dawg
@@yenwuraaku8562the whole point of the games is the story. It’s basically a movie
I love it when they start trying to walk there and Jin's like "Look you haven't acknowledged it but I know you have a horse just offscreen so I'm hopping on mine and moving and you'd better figure it out"
"Man I've been here for so long waiting for the npc" dies and has to restart the mission
That "I got work in 20 mins please!!" was the realest shit ever😂😂
the transition to the different aspect ratio during cutscenes is really clean
The worst part is they move slower than walk speed, but faster than crouch speed, so the only way to keep up with them is to stand in front of the them and have them push you along with them, assuming they don't get stuck on you.
Regular RUclipsr= This is brought to you by "RaID shAdOW LEGENDS!!"
Caleb= Literally got Google as a sponsor for a vid..
It's amazing how real talent that isn't all borrowed material or raunchy comedy propelled this bright young man into crazy success that is honestly still underrated for his ability. Caleb, stay exactly how you are man!
Don’t forget the part where you try to push a lever or something to open a door and the game doesn’t let you, only for the NPC to catch up and tell you that’s what you have to do
"You have time right?"
"Youre not doing anything after this right?" ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°
I Am Done 💀💀💀
What's he doing asking that!? 😂
@@rinakinazikr Ol MEDIEVAL NPC face caleb 😂😂
1:41 ...And there it is!!🤦♂️😂
It's even more frustrating when the NPC requires you to be in close proximity to them or else they just stop dead in their tracks instead of continuing at a decent pace.
The NPCS be slow as hell and if you go too far you get a warning. Then they magically teleport you back to the beginning and you gotta start the whole quest all over again. Blows my mind!
When you finally make it back from the endless quest chain you completely forget what the original goal of the mission was. 😂
When you do so much ketamine you have ego death, forget who you are, and think you're literally lil Wayne for a while.
Skyrim in a nutshell💀
I remember playing AC Origins, and they had a button you could click to auto follow NPCs who led you around, pure bliss. Those devs, and the ones that teleport the NPCs to you, and have the NPCs run to match your speed all deserve a special place in heaven, truly 🤣
Nah fuck Ubisoft, their whole company deserves a special place in hell💀
“I got work in 20 minutes”
That line really hit home.
i just realised his room walls are blue here, thats a nice vine throwback
walking in front of him and just having him turn around and start talking to you with like an "idle" quote resonates PURE skyrim energy and the exact feeling of having to follow a slow-ass npc on quests, absolutely glorious depiction
"hey, wait for me!" (refuses to move until you get close again)
*"if your target gets too far you'll fail the mission"* (takes you back to the beginning)
and last
"follow me" (triggers 30 different enemies and leaves you behind)
“I got work in 20 minutes PLEASE” was so fucking relatable lol
Pausing to save only for the save button to be blocked out is so relatable
Reminds me of that one quest in Oblivion where you had to follow that dark elf allllllll the way to a ruin. It was part of the Fighter's Guild questline. He WALKS all the way there.
Mind you, your character walks slower than an NPC and jogs faster than an NPC, so you have to constantly do a burst-speed of jog and walk. I hate it so much when devs put that stuff in
1:23 the pure EMOTION is insane, caleb is getting better and better i swear
PLEASE- THE GOBLINS SPAWNING ONLY FOR THE CUTSCENE EVEN THOUGH THEY AREN'T THERE IS SO ACCURATE
Dude tied his shoes with a knife 😂😂
"I gotta work in 20 minutes! Please!" I felt that.
Calebcity will always be the master of recreating video game physics and gameplay irl
The player hands acting is on point
“Hearing the npc in the background at the end saying “You have time right? You don’t have anything to do after this right? “
There was one side quest in Fallout 4 where you conspire with a bartender to help a cowardly radio DJ gain more confidence. After each stage, you have to follow the bartender to a side room, but if you follow too close, he’ll turn around and shout “DRINKS! What do you want, my friend!” And starts trying to sell you moonshine.
I've played Fallout 4 for ages and I never saw anything about moonshine 😭 That is so wild, you learn something new everyday..
@@nomoretwitterhandles Bobrov’s Best
0:15 smooth af
Games really are just 5 hour long side-quests to get through one small obstacle.
And then there is the part where you get too far away and they stop in fear of your absence until you come back
Anyone else remember following Yeta to the boss door in Twilight Princes, and not being to open the door till she got there?
Lolllll ye💀😱
That boss fight scared me as a 9 year old child
1:05 I'd say just pause it and leave everything on, like we used to in the days before Saves existed, but with how everything is these days you'd either be timed out of your session or the console would go to sleep on it's own and fuck you over anyway.
"The nearest locksmith is 17 miles north" 😂
The thing that gets me after all these years is that Calebcity was one of the VERY few Viners that managed to still be funny after Vine.
So many Viners went to RUclips or whatever and... they needed that 7 second limit. They were not entertaining.
Calebcity is STILL insanely funny. True talent here.
You always gotta run ahead of the NPC, it's an unspoken rule
I love when the npc teleports with when you fast travel in some games. Not having to wait on them is the best.
Whoever is the person responsible for doing marketing at Google is making very good choices. Google's new phone ads are highly watchable and now sponsoring Calebcity.
They've been sponsoring caleb
Along with the comedy, I absolutely love how you recreate video game perspectives/effects. To give just one of many examples - I immediately recognized and replayed the moment the game went from gameplay mode to cutscene mode with the frame around the screen. Your videos are one of my favorite things to watch!!
The follow quest always feel like the developers just patting for gameplay time.
The in-game transition was spot on! Caleb, you never disappoint 🙌🏽
I swear, every time I get one of those “follow the npc and protect” missions, they move slow as a slug in molasses and die in two fucking hits
Older games npc just teleports wherever you are lmao classic
Your film making skills improved so much since I started watching you with every skit you show off a new camera trick it's quite impressive! Love your content you are my favourite who recreates silly tropes
