7 Tragedies You Couldn't Prevent Because They Happened Behind Glass, Dammit

- Often the hero can't save everyone. Sometimes that's because of hordes of enemies, and sometimes that's because of a single piece of glass. Here are the times we couldn't save NPCs from their fate because of this transparent terror.

We love smashing glass in games, but some windows are simply unbreakable -- at the expense of some poor non-hero on the other side :( Here are the times we couldn't save an NPC from a miserable fate, because glass. Enjoy!
Outside Xtra HA YOU FOOLS GLASS CAN NOT STOP ME MUWHAHAHA
Welp... If we actually tried to help most of those NPCs we would have to then deal with an enemy without the necessary weapons or sufficient HP turning it into a superboss or boss battle
Urg ... baggy jeans
demitri petrenko in bo1
TRY THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THIS VIDEO! 7 times the glass didn't stay unbreakable!
Glass that wont break must be a real pane.
Nerdazoid It is a real pain in the glass!
Damnit barb
Nerdazoid it shatters my heart
It makes me shed a Prince Rupert's teardrop
Nerdazoid aproved.
Question: If glass is indestructible then why don't the bad guys just make suits of armor out of glass and be completely invincible to everything (except bottomless pits)? Not only would they be unstoppable but they'd also be very unsettling and distracting to fight since, you know, their clothes would be see through.
Don't give evil ideas!
I think they did that in Skyrim. It was brittle as all hell, and it was light armour, but it sure got the job done. You could even have weapons made out of the stuff.
George Sears its glass their body parts would be locked in place if you wanted to protect the WHOLE body
Make armor out of bottomless pits then.
I was originally going to say "it would be too heavy or bulky for the amount you'd have to wear to offer realistic protection", but then I looked it up, and realized that I was in error. There is, indeed, fiberglass armor. The more you know...
In Batman's defense if on the other side is a room full of toxic gas, smashing the glass is perhaps not the cleverest thing you can do.
ManWithBeard1990 and batman should be smart, if he just broke the glass it wouldn't be a smart move batman has the strength to do it but he always uses his brain first. I fell in the toxic gas and immediately the game tells me to climb up, so yes if he broke the glass the guard and batman would be dead and joker/harley would be laughing at you
ManWithBeard1990 and you can save them if your quick enough
Oreotink How?
Glass kills people and kills you
2:18 it was really nice of cerberus to do shep's eyeliner for her while they were reconstructing her vital organs and all that.
"7 times you couldn't hero because glass" love this sentence XD
Engilsh 100%
At least you can't say you couldn't see these coming.
I _see_ what you did there.
Frodo Baggins damn it

I'm not getting this joke, can someone clear it up for me?
"He's (h)armless!" Oh, how I sometimes wish I had an accent like that.
Bioshock: That one tree-loving lady that was actually the first decent female we see. You know, the one Andrew Ryan gassed to death and she used her last moments to write the code to her safe.
Bioshock overuses this trope when you think about it... even in the opening moments, you see a random Jimmy getting gutted by a spider splicer behind the glass of the bathysphere
In Bioshock's defense, Atlas did use the magic words, "Would you kindly", to force you to put your gun down, preventing you from doing anything.
plus there was no way you could take it down with the arsenal you had.
It doesn't seem like a good idea for Batman to break the glass because it is the only thing keeping the joker toxin out.
A window between me and joker toxin is the best idea possible. As long as that window isn't open.
Arkham Origins Commissioner Loeb's death. Now THAT is a case of glass preventing heroism.
Saving Loeb isn't my idea of heroism either. Dude was better odd dead then alive.
Vajahat Ali Eh, he was infected anyway. Plus he jumped down into the Scarecrow fear toxin to get the batmobile working again
Night Hawk well he wasn't in the first game😂
In Bioshock there’s also a scene where a scientist who has been helping you is poisoned and you can only watch as she dies behind glass, you probably should have spoken about that since big daddies are kinda friendly
Well the Fallout 4 cyropod makes sense. Your half frozen, you'd be lucky if you could even move.
I agree
Chester Cage, Internet Police even if it was able to get out...
kellog has a gun
Yeah. Half frozen, unarmed, and in a frigging sealed cryopod. Not much you can do there.
Dragishawk Except... Oh I don't kno-USE YOUR GODDAMN X-MEN EYE LASERS!
Brennan Palm that's not how the cryogenic suspension works in that game
What a pane in the glass.
Silent Nightmares ehhhhhyyyy I see what you did there
Through glass you definetly saw it
I can see myself in that glass.
Silent Nightmares well
Noice.
should do top 10 saltiest NPC's that didn't say thanks for helping them?
or at least just Top 10 Saltiest NPCs
Nazeem
Chris Fry salty?
Logan Howell That One Doggo Nazeem
yess
"because of the glass"
The delivery on that was perfect
At end of video.
Ellen: (Bangs on glass)
Me: What should I do?
Ellen: (points to videos and subscribe button)
Me: Ok I think I know what...
Ellen: (gets tackled by thing off screen)
Me: Ellen NO!!!😧
Oh... so is that why she didn't try and avenge my character in fallout 4? I mean, I was shot by crazy people who may have been Bethesda employees, and Ellen was supposed to be a loving wife to my character, who also had a son with the same first name as me, so she should've tried harder. But, I still like her anyway. But, next time Ellen, try harder. Come on, I'd go back and help you, so why not do the same? That's rude. Don't be rude. You seem like a nice lady. Don't be a douche like Harry Flynn, be like Nate. He's a suave, handsome thief who DOESNT betray his companions. That's why he's had long lasting relationships with his friends, like Cutter, Sully, and Chloe. All good people, despite being thieves. There's got to be some honor among thieves, after all, even if Uncharted 2 was called Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
To be fair with the fallout 4 example, is it even possible to break glass designed for cryopod with your bare hands?
not with that attitude
Logan Woods Surprised they didn't use the fallout 3 one instead
Grizzlybeer, that made me laugh out loud. XD
if there was a strength 11 you could
What happen to Ellen?... Is Ellen ok? Ellen? ELLEN!!!11
I'm trying to save her but there's some sort of solid yet invisible force preventing me!
I punched through my computer screen trying to save her. -Sent from my iPhone
You fool you could have let them all out!
I mean she is an android vampire. There isn't that much that could threaten her. Unless it's a spider, or something vaguely spider like in which case she's doomed.
Yarney got her.
“7 times you couldn’t hero because glass”
No Alien Isolation?!
Heck, lots of people died behind glass in that game!
What if you weren't trapped behind the glass... What if it was breakable and you just never figured out how to break it and let those poor NPC's die!
Developers should just leave the window open. Then going threw them would be paneless.
that pun was panefull
:D
Nerdazoid
Your mind is clearly gone with the _wind. Oh,_ the humanity!
Lu Sapphire and the Muffin Button Band No my mind is just a crack in this castle of glass. With hardly anything for you to see.
For you to see.
I have had nightmares exactly like this. O_O
What about when you can't save people cause they die in a cutscene?
Or when your overpowered character who can survive multiple bullet wounds , fire , and other forms of injury gets taken down in a cut scene.
James0m or when you're a baddie stomping force of nature, but in a cutscene, you're powerless against some two-bit thug as they steal your shit, or kidnap someone
James0m *Cough* Aeris *Cough*
Borderlands 2. Not even Deathtrap or my turret could save him...
John McShane *Metroid intensifies*
Namely, the Ing / first X parasite / that one bullshit explosion from MP1 / when you lose everything in Zero Mission / Commander -Dipshit- Adam from that game we don't speak about
“Oh no we’re being attacked by aliens!” “Don’t worry I know what will save us!..glass.”
that end was adorable
love the Xtra crew, so lovable
Note to self. Surround myself with glass before killing people
master chief or have armor made out of glass
You are not Chief
Oh my God Andy XD
"I was usually too busy doodling Garrus in Commander school... "
*raises notebook with Garrus drawing and little hearts*
When I saw Bioshock in the spoiler warning, I thought they’d show Julie Langford’s death scene, where she gets gassed by Ryan after betraying him.
So you count Fallout 4, but what about 3? 3 had a more emotional approach God damnit
Senõr Foster fallout 4 is so trash. Don't know why they didn't put your dad from three
David Luftspring is it bad really, been thinking bout getting it but all I hear is bad feedback
Nophucks Togive Well it depends. Did you play the old ones. Because if you did youll consider steaming garbage. The older ones had better stories and charcters
Nophucks Togive Bethesda ruined fallout my turning it into a glorified fps
Exactly! watching your dad slowly suffocate while still having control of your character and frantically pressing the door release button to no avail was alot more intense. Plus immediately after your'e on a mish to escape the enclave you barely have time to process it.
The thought of dying in Jokers laughing gas is so gassed-ly. Get it because it's gas and I'm sorry I'll go
I broke the glass on my TV in an effort to try and help Ellen. All I'm left with is a broken TV and bloodied/ scratched hands..... See you in court!
Now if it's in space, I think that's allowed, because space glass has to be able to resist the high amounts of pressure inside of the ship
Surely the pun for Deadspace should be, "don't worry, he's unarmed."
"He's been disarmed" or maybe "oh no hes armed!"
No, because he wasn't armed before either.
You could say.... things got out of hand.
In all fairness to Bioshock they have really tough glass there which can only be broken by a falling plane. Also I was on the Big Daddy's side in that encounter. Don't have much patience for people who punch little girls.
I think they meant on the correct side of the glass, not morally on the right side.
Ah, that makes much more sense! I still don't understand how a sinking plane could break the glass, but every weapon in the game only cracks it a little bit without letting in water!
It does need to be extremely strong glass to withstand the water pressure at that depth
Joshua Thomas Bioshock 2 was reallu bad about perspective.
I remember playing Crusader No Remorse, where you are able to break every pane of glass you come across. Many an hour was spent making sure every glass door and window was broken. The priority for shooting in that game was Glass - explody-barrels - enemies.
*(flashbacks to Dad's death in Fallout 3)*
Was I the only one shouting "SHAUN!" continuously as I ran to the vault in fallout 4?
The CastAway DC I would've!
The CastAway DC nope haha
The CastAway DC Ethan would be proud.
What about the darkness? You're forced to watch Jenny get murdered right in front of your eyes behind a glass door window
Seriously. How the hell did you miss The Darkness. That was far more wrenching that anything on this list.
They missed The Darkness because no one remembers that game, it's all about Bioshock and Fallout on OX
I got that game free as a 2K promotion when I bought BioShock. I actually liked it better. The Darkness 2 was "okay"... but they messed up the one thing that made the first one so "brilliant". It wasn't actually DARK anymore!
david bliley Guess what! The Darkness games were based on a comic of the same name!
Y'know, the comics aren't even that dark.
I know about the comics. I'm just talking about how literally DARK was the first game. If you knocked out all of the lights in an area, you were soon in absolute darkness except for the orange glow that let you see the shapes of things. I loved that about it. In the second game (made by a different developer, I know) it got nowhere near that dark. I felt it took a lot of the "feel" of the game away. In the first game, you could feel totally comfortable in your own "darkness" waiting for fools to wander in and be destroyed.
"What do you see behind the glass?" - Phantoms from Prey
I really laughed at the joke about them coming out of the glass.
I can not believe The Darkness is'nt on here, Jenny's death was probably one of the most impactful from any game I've seen.
Peter technically the darkness was restraining him just as much as the locked door
i was also hoping to see that one here
THANK YOU
OH LORD YES! Jenny's death still haunts me to this day.
FINALLY THANK YOU someone remembers that game! Hate it when OX videos are just crammed with Bioshock and Fallout
But if Batman smashed the glass, wouldn't he just gas himself and the guards with him?
Oh and there's a similar bit in Arkham Origins where Batman can't save the Commissioner getting executed by Black Mask because of the glass... and a cutscene - for double the helplessness! Killer Croc is kind enough to crack the glass with his bad temper seconds afterwards.
Luke, Ellen, you're welcome to leap out of the screen and be hilarious and friendly and awesome 😃
"Don't worry about that necromorph, he's armless." Lol
Where's Fallout 3?! Poor Liam Neeson...erm......dad. :'(
carkiechu If you broke that glass your days as a hero would have ended. just sayin
carkiechu NOOOO, YOU COMMENTED IT FIRST! Now I won't be featured in the inevitable commenters edition of this!
I'll just have to wait for the next esoteric countdown to get my ego stroked.
Tristan the Filmer Bro, if you don't have enough rad x to choke both heads of a Brahmin by then, that's your own fault.
THATS THE WHOLE REASON I WATCHED THIS
Of all the deaths behind glass, this is the one we MUST prevent. I mean, when will we have a chance to have Neeson as our father.
R.I.P. Ellen. Press F to pay respects.
- lem0nwings F...
You
R
My "favorite" such situation is Botta's death in Tales of Symphonia, where he locks himself inside a flooding dome so that the main party won't drown as well.
This reminds me of that one time my brother and I were playing Borderlands Pre-Sequel when Jack sends a bunch of handy/friendly scientists out into the vacuum of space with this weird room while my bro and I had to watch from other side of glass because Jack thought one of them was a spy or something like that. That pissed me off because I liked the main scientist.
The Andy and Jane better get on their game because Ellen and Luke are quickly becoming my favorites.
Meh...
who cares about Mike, it's all about his identical twin, Mick
How could I forget to mention Mick?
12/10 acting Ellen. Have you ever thought about going to mime school?
Abszilla Your profile pic makes me think otherwise... (❍ᴥ❍)
Yeah, she was sure great at mimicking being trapped. Oh God. Not her too.
Atriark the Zebra probably
damn you glass!!!
Damn you Sun!
ALIEN ISOLATION HAS SO MANY MOMENTS LIKE DIS
I was gonna say that 🙃
The Darkness, wathcing Jenny Romano die. Still chokes me up.
*nods in agreement*
Mass Effect 2 was such a great game...
They should make a game where you could totally break the glass and save the person, but most of us would just assume the glass wasn't breakable and stand there and watch.
I'm glad I got lucky enough to watch the video in which Ellen first mentioned glass before watching this one, because RUclips had been suggesting this one rather persistently.
And you guys should make one about games you wouldn't, or weren't, expecting to find zombies, but oh surprise, you did. Mass Effect and Time Splitters 2 are two instances.
I don't think the fallout 4 one makes too much sense. How about you try breaking through glass after 20 seconds of being woken up from a 100+ year cryo sleep? It's hard enough for me to get out of bed on a Monday morning
Yeah Fallout 3's water purification scene wouldn't have been a better example.
Jasper Zanovich Touché
Charlie Holmes also it's not like you could have done much?
Too small of a hole
Would have broken the cryo sleep from working and you would have been trapped to die
What would you do? Shoo them off?
You can punch the window. Unsurprisingly, it does nothing more than making a thud sound.
Charlie Holmes 100 year sleep? Reminds me of a certain game I play *COUGH COUGH ZELDA COUGH COUGH*
Fallout 3 also applies, with your dad and what not.
On an unrelated note, it would've been funny if yarny "attacked" Ellen there at the end.
Who says it didn't!? Poor Ellen!
Oh Yarny, back for evil, yet somewhat justifyable revenge like some kind frankensteins monster.
Most of the episode: What a nice, normal, expected video from this channel.
That ending screen: THEIR SOUND GUY NEEDS A RAISE, THAT WAS A GREAT USE OF SOUND EFFECTS IN PANTOMIME!
Batman: I’m Batman
Glass: ...
Batman: nooooooooooooooo
The Batman: Arkham Asylum one shouldn't count because if he did smash the glass, he and the other employee would be doused in a fatal dose of the gas as well.
I don't know. The extra space might have been enough to disperse it, and Batman later goes into the room and survives because he stays above the low-floating gas. He could have held his breath, smashed the glass and ziplined his way to the ceiling with a guy or two in tow - the same way he does when he does an inverted takedown.
But that's a big "might".
isn't that an extractor fan right above Bats and the other employee though? Break the glass and the toxins would just disperse
Terra Lupis that joker toxin kills you either way, so if he had broke the glass they would still die from exposure to it
it's because gas fills up the volume of any enclosed spaces it will partially disperse yes but not before it reaches the corners of the next room s and not to mention some gases don't need you to breathe it in to take effect also some will force you to breathe it in as it will use painful allergic reactions and boils to open your mouth.
Call of duty black ops when the nova 6 gas is used on your comrades
If they were to break the glass the gas would spread into the others chambers successfully killing everybody captured.
Also black ops 1 when you could prevent mason from killing the scientist because they were behind bulletproof glass
It was Reznov who killed him, i saw it with my own eyes.
I see now, the main hero of any game should simply get an armor made of that glass. He'd be invincible.
Sidenote : During the baby kidnapping bit in FO4 you can actually hit the glass by pressing -I forgot which buttons-, I noted it because usually you're pretty passive in most Bethesda Games and thought it was a nice detail.
do one called "8 low budget disguises " (looking at you Peirce) or just something about disguises tbh
HOLD UP YOU ALREADY DID THAT NVM
markus Knaak lol that rip on Pierce though
Evelyn Brooks don't get me wrong, I love how deranged watchdogs got at some parts, but disguising yourself as a perv and going to a human trafficking auction, WHERE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN YOU BEFORE, just no
What about your father in Fallout 3?
Actually what about several important Fallout 3 moments?
Theres another glass event in Mass Effect Andromeda, when you see an Angaran getting Exalted; at least then they give you a reason why it wouldn't break
A little late, but the scene from Rodyle's Ranch in Tales of Symphonia springs to mind. After being ushered out of the control room you and your companions have to watch helplessly as Botta, second in command of the recently helpful Renagades, and two of his helpers fight to gain control of the Mana Cannon. Oh, and did I mention the ranch in in the ocean and the control room is filling with water?
actually i like the new crew.good job guys for choosing these guys.
But glass mever stopped Aiden Pearce in watchdogs!
Well, for a very long time, he either A) just stands there waiting for his speech to end or B) Starts shooting in the middle of the speech, forgetting the bulletproof glass is there.
dark crusher1221 ..."YEAH TAKE THAT...OLD WANKER WITH THE HEART CONDITION!"
Outlast is just full of these moments, but most notably in Whistleblower when the patient dressed as a doctor in the decontamination unit begs for your help, and then gets bludgeoned to death by another patient because he believed he was actually staff
The Walrider also apparently can't break through that glass but Chris walker can????
Anyone climbing through this screen is welcome to keep the device
😂😂😂
Do "10 video game moments that drove you crazy and caused you to throw your controller like a maniac!" I'm looking at you, Dark Souls!
change that to video games, cause video game moments would all be darkcsouls moments
My name says it all git gud scrubs PRAISE THE SUN
git gud casul
Noob Saibot Batman arkham city
That last bit is just genius scriptwriting U.U
Ok holy shit. Can I just say how much I love this channel! Gives me some cool facts, and awesome cast, and lots of good jokes! Thank you sooooo much for this amazing channel! Keep up the good work!
Glass: has no reason to be bulletproof
Glass: is bulletproof
That ending was brilliant
5:00; nobody got time for that!!!
Those moments when you could break the glass but chose not to are the best.
Star Wars Republic Commando; during the ghostship mission when the trooper gets killed by the scav droid. Also, same mission, when Sev gets taken down by a Trandoshin.
Mass Effect Andromeda?
"We could save that angara from being turned into generic bad guy alien.... what's this, glass? Nooooooooooooo!"
Ellen! Noooooo! Damn you silcon dioxide, DAMN YOU!!
I think Narcosis definitely deserves a spot of at least a shoutout on this list. If you haven't seen a play through, I definitely recommend it. It's so well done and you wouldn't see it coming.
I'd also say Rachel in Resident Evil Revelations.
the jokes on outside extra usually make me exhale slightly heavier than usual.but the joke about not being able to escape the monitor made me giggle like i forgot to invest into intelligence
Jenny's Death in The Darkness. That scene sticks out the most to me.
Anyone else notice that Ellen always goes into a Tim Tebow thing white her arm when it's a "sad" topic. We should have compilation of these moments
Ellen's mime routine at the end was one of the best things I've ever seen
I seriously expected a spray of ketchup at the end. You guys are geniuses.
This video was brilliant. Ellen's plea for subscriptions from behind the glass was smashing. ill excuse myself now...
An Oxtra video uploaded on my birthday, God I'm lucky. Thank you Outside Xtra!
Happy Birthday!
FirstName LastName Happy Birthday! :)
Happy Birthday! :)
Damn My Birthday was Two Days Ago but they Didn't upload a video.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY anyway
Happy Birthday First Last.
that marvel superhero game for the 3DS when venoms little goons attacked a professor behind a window
Being safe because of the glass... i laughed so loud my flatmate woke up, shame there was no glass between us eh!
Isaac Clarke: also known as the King of Curb Stomps
Kyle Campbell You can never be too unsure that the reanimated dead are no longer animated.
Kyle Campbell the one time you think it died and it gets up when you get close
thats the reason i shoot their dead bodies
Also Sam B
Notification Squad *Attepts Ellens Impossible Hand Symbols*
"Hey, we need the player not to be able to kill this super strong guy. Should we make him invulnerable for this part?"
"No."
"Then wh-"
"The window."
I loved that bit at the end, Ellen is so adorable! :)
Should of used the original prey. Scariest part of the game is a 10 year getting ripped in half right on the other side of a piece of glass. I was so freaked out I stopped playing
i dont remember that happening..
A spirit possessed one child, blowing them apart and replacing their "body". They then turned on the other child and killed them. Creepy.
That part of bioshock was a bad example, later on in the game you are working for a scientist who was one of the few people to help you in rapture, she's locked in a room with a big glass window and killed with poisonous gas by Andrew Ryan, luckily she writes down the combination to her safe as she dies, but being able to smash that glass would have made trying to traverse Rapture all the easier, and your example I didn't want to fight that big daddy at that point because it's the first time you see one and it's the beginning of the game
Bioshock had the most unbreakable glass walls of any game because it was under water and most of the time you're praying that they don't smash, like when you first enter rapture and the plane crashes into the hallway you happened to be traveling down, you can see another glass hallway cave from the water pressure
I'd also add to this that you are 'asked'..."would you kindly lower that weapon of for a minute", before the encounter.
So the Bioshock example given here was a bad one.
The title in the thumbnail was just gold😂😂
I would say dead space as well but the very beginning of the first game where Isaac stands and watches as his crew is murdered by zombies
