I remember, in assassin's creed origins, since I wanted some XP to lvl up, I kept killing guards and then died one time, and on the loading screen, a tip popped up, "take quests instead of killing innocent guards, they have families too you know", I felt guilty and never did that again lol
Here's a fun one: In Ghost of Tsushima, there are areas where you swing on certain points with a grappling hook. I found two areas that were essentially just a rope swing with a long drop into a lake. They made me so happy.
I think i just recently found one of those. But my thought was i made a mistake in direction or something xD but according to what you said its possible that was deliberately there. But I can't remember where i was when i did that, because i use fast travel non-stop. xD
@@himticks I know of the one at the top of the Thunderhead Cliffs in the northeastern point of Iki. I can't remember if there is one in Tsushima, though.
In Call of theMountain, it's not just Aloy, it's every character. I couldn't make it through a cutscene without messing with the NPCs because it was just so funny to watch them talk about such *super serious* stuff while I'm trying to poke their eyeball and they're just constantly squirming and giving me angry side-eye.
Another good one is Modern Warfare 2019's "Clean House" mission, where if you shoot the baby enough times, it straight up calls you out for being a psychopath
I think my favorite is in Metal Gear 3. Killing Ocolot at any point in the game is a game over due to a 'Time Paradox' since he exists in the first game, and 3 is a prequel.
Now that is attention to detail. They did some weird stuff in 5 too. Like really going to far when you "accidentally" kept the camera on Quiet too long ..
Still not gonna get over this. Rockstar 2 made a game called RDR 2 where you spend most of the time riding a horse, looking forward. So some of the most insane moments in that game for me were when I randomly decided to look back. There's this one thing that happened to me that I still haven't found someone talk about in the game. If you ride out far enough after these two cliffs somewhere around Valentine (iirc) and you look back at night, you'll see a shining light at the edge of one of the cliffs. With binoculars you're not gonna make it out. So if you decide to go back, to see what it is, at some point you'll see it's actually someone who is holding a lantern. But more interestingly, if you decide to keep going for the lantern, the person will quickly put the lantern away and ride off into the forest. Once you go to the actual spot, there is nothing there. So clearly that NPC was somebody following you. And that's not even the best part about it. What's actually even creepier is at some point in the story you're bound to see a similar silhouette in the distance again. Just standing there, watching you and as soon as you decide to approach - immediately running away.
In GTA5, play as Trevor (who creeps out everyone down town anyway) and follow a female on foot from fairly far away, like across a street. She will move away at a fast walk, then a trot, then a full out run, then you hear cops (but never see them), sirens, gunfire, everything lol.
@@itsRobbie_ That figures. I only did it once and by complete accident in the early part of the game after Trevor showed up. I was playing him and I noticed everyone avoiding me including the ones across the street. I pushed it to see what would happen.
Lollipop Chainsaw has a 0 point achievement for successfully looking up Juliet's skirt, which is actually incredibly difficult to do since she will change her stance and c block you if you try to rotate the camera in that way.
So does Nier Automata. I guess Devs just know if you put a female protagonist in a skirt. Players are going to look up it (either out of curiosity to see what's modeled under there if anything at all or perviness)
Omega Qunitet does the same thing, The character will even call you out for it. Which is crazy considering the rest of Idea Factory's games actually encourage stupid things like that.
"Washin' my pits, washin' my pits, this is the song when I'm washing my- OY! Can a bloke not get any bleedin' privacy round here? Buncha perverts, the lot of you!!"
I got an achievement in Nier Automata while i was showing 2B's android booty up her skirt to my roommate. We laughed so hard. I don't care it's public, I'm in my 30's, but that sucks for some people lol!
For the 0451 code, there is another neat subversion in Deathloop. If you try to input it into the first keypad in the game, the player character quips up: "Old habits die hard." And it even gives you an achievement
My favorite was in Deus Ex (the first one, from 2000), you can pretty much explore anywhere, but if you set foot in the women's restroom at HQ, not only does a woman in there call you out on it, but during the debrief later, the boss mentions it as well. This was about a decade before achievements were a thing, it was just something DX vets would trigger just for the extra line (or avoid to keep the debrief scene shorter in case of a speed run).

The halo CE clip made me remember the good old halo three days playing co op with my best friend. We would get through the opening mission up until you get to the first base of operations with sergeant Johnson. Then spend literally hours just killing as many people as we could at the base and see how long we could survive, good times.
one of my favorite examples of this is in ultrakill, where the game creator made dialogue popups that appear out of bounds when you do a major speedrun skip, like the Pipe Clip giving “Pipe Clip still lives” when you do it
"I did it for the Trophy" is a valid excuse, if it's one of the last Trophies you get for a game while working towards that 100%. But when the timing of the Trophy perfectly corresponds with the first time you encounter that Um... "Event", then you absolutely did it for reasons other than the Trophy.
When I worked for Focus Entertainment...we had a guy who was hired, paid and expected to do everything he could to exploit and break a game. His entire job was to do what the dev hadn't expected, so they could expect it, and do something about it. Sometimes that was finding a way to make it fun, if it wasn't game breaking, and sometimes it was just making sure they couldn't do it, if it would mess things up too badly. I was kind of jealous, because it seemed like such a fun job to have.
When I was involved with the Interactive Fiction community, there was a playtester who was notorious for these sorts of things (and much loved for it). He’d try taking a thousand napkins from a dispenser, eating random objects, and closing doors behind him to see what would happen, among many other things.
I dunno, it depends. I had a friend who did something similar to this for a little while, and he thought it would be a cool job to sit around playing games all day and trying to break them, but he said it was the most boring job he's ever had! It mostly consisted of him doing incredibly mundane things over and over again, like trying to walk through every inch of every single wall in the game, then trying to run through them, then trying to jump through them, over and over and over again. It didn't sound like fun. It sounded incredibly monotonous!
Here's a well hidden one for the old timers: In Warcraft 2, there's an option to test your soundcard in the setup, and it starts off with "Your soundcard works perfectly." Keep clicking on it and it will say "Enjoying yourself?" And if you keep at it eventually it will say "It doesn't get any better than this!" This is a cute little easter egg for WC veterans as players know to hear all the different quips from the units by continuously clicking on them, and as a kid I felt really smart finding out this one on my own lol.
Playing Dirt3 a few years back had a funny interaction. I was adjusting settings that could only be done, at that time, after you started a race. I'd change something, test, readjust and so on. I did that long enough for the navigator to say, "Um . . . We're in a RACE, you know."
In Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, there is a mission where a character is abducted by the borg. In the next mission you are in a borg cube and you see the character being assimilated, If you look around a bit you can find essentially a small obstacle course leading to him, but most likely if you try to get to him they will beam him away just as you reach him. But If you start running for him before the dialogue ends you can make it in time and save him. They knew we would want to save him and made it practically impossible to do it first time through but when you know, you can get the headstart and make it. (The guy will just be recovering in sickbay for the rest of the game so It doesn't impact the story but its still pretty cool.)
Two of my favorite moments like this are 'South Park: The Fractured But Whole' (Cartman scolds you for cheating, while dressed as Bill Belichick) and 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' ("Reading the last page first?").
In og ff7 when you leave Midgar you have to choose party members and if you chose the 2 girls leaving out Barrett and Red, Barrat says "I knew you’d do that!" Haha
Plus entering the rocket code. Doing it first try, Cid will be suspicious of you since it would be impossible to know in game already unless you worked for Shinra.
The two I think of is God of War when Kratos throws his axe. The devs knew people would throw the axe and then see if Kratos would leave it behind if he walks the a door/portal. But nope, he calls it back every time on his own. And the Last of Us 2 that damn work bench. They knew EXACTLY players were gonna goto that bench for necessary upgrades. Made the room feel safe even if the silence was eery. Set it up in a nice spot, then boom, you're getting jumped and from that point I think we all approached the workbenches with more caution from then on.
8:18 It’s also an Achievement. Killing the Captain spawns a squad of invincible marines from an otherwise locked room. Inside that room is blood splatter that spells out a name. Looking at said blood splatter unlocks the Achievement.
I’m not sure if this counts, but in X-Men Legends if you are any character that has super strength like Beast you can throw Wolverine at enemies. If you throw him a few times for no reason he gets mad and will attack you; it doesn’t do any damage on you, but it’s still funny to see.
In one of the first mech warrior games you get on a training mission with your commander. He teaches you how to weapon lock enemies, so naturally you start by locking on to him. He then says ‘keep that laser out of my face!’ If you then shoot him, he will unleash on you with everything he has.
another good one from RE4 is trying to look at Ashley's underwear she immediately covers herself up and calls you out for it lmao they knew we were going to do it and we did it!!
You don’t need power armor, jetpack, or console. Just tell your companion to flip the switch, sprint to the back of the ship, ride the boat to the too deck, and enter the ship after the switch gets flipped and before the ship moves. Enjoy the ride.
Lone Echo/Lone Echo 2, if you try to grab on to the female protagonists arm or butt when she floats through zero gravity to hold on, she'll push your hand off. Also when stationed, she looks at you while brushing your hands off her butt. Shame it wasn't recognised. It's a massive indicator that Devs knew their audience 😂
In fallout 4, regardless of what platform you're on, you can hit the switch and then just run and jump across the rooftops to get on the ship. You do not need console commands.
i've never played a yakuza game, so i didn't know about that achievement, but i decided to lookup the names. they are actual, real life adult video stars. lol Your character is watching real videos of real people doing thier actual profession. that attention to detail is insane
one of my all time favorites was the original Diablo, there were cows on the map. you could 'interact' with them and they would moo. so ofc you make them moo, and moo, and moo, and eventually they just go MOOOOO! they KNEW we were gonna do that.
Just wanna say, your channel has really been there for me during some real tough times in my life. Being able to look forward to your daily videos about the gaming industry is whats keeping me sane. Thank you Gameranx and all those part of the team. I literally wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. =)
keep up the good fight, mate. try to seek out whatever makes you feel really curious and gives you feeling of awe. i bought civilization 6 when it was heavily on sale, and it lead me down a massive, massive rabbit hole. now i listen to lots and lots of history audiobooks, and my youtube feed is full of history stuff, or history podcasts like the fall of civilization one. i also read history ebooks, or wikipedia before bed instead of scrolling reddit--which has also helped. i never connected to history before, but those civilization games and the paradox ones, and stuff like assassin's creed, etc., have all really brought it to life in a way that books never could. now when i wake up, i'm really eager to learn more about the past. anyway, i hope you find many more things to keep you curious and looking forward to something.
I'm with you on that man. If you need another really good videogame related channel to binge check out viva la dirt league. They have whole series of videogame parodies and satires that are just golden. Gameranx thank you as well for your excellent channel
Great list. Video games often anticipate our next move, which is part of what makes them so engaging. Some classics like The Legend of Zelda series and Metal Gear Solid are known for their clever ways of reading player intentions. Even Gates of Pyre, despite still in beta really gets into the player's head with its great Lore and storyline.
I started playing Yakuza Kiwami for the first time, and those "videos" are in there, too. But what's even stranger is that they are somehow the "reward" for completing the story of a hostess. Like, it's not even something I knew was going to happen, it just came out of complete left field!
I like how in Max Payne 3 the story narration correlates to what you do, even when you wander around. There was a bar on one stage, and I wandered in and dude goes "As much as I wanted a drink, I had a to stay focused" or something. Made me chuckle.
Years ago when I was playing the Cars game on GameCube, playing as Lightning McQueen, I slowly nosed up to a female NPC car trying to kiss her. She said "Ugh, that is so disgusting." Looking back on it now, it's kinda insane that they built that in. Unless I'm misremembering the entire thing and imagined it all.
Number 7 was written just for me: out-of-nowhere puzzles is my number one pet peeve in video games. The worst: "Hmmm, maybe if I move these mirrors to redirect the light...the door will open?"
Number 9: You don't need to enable any commands, you are not locked from moving. If you are wearing power armor with a jetpack you can get on the ship even on console. You DO die if the ship crashes while you are on the deck, but if you go below deck before it collides you survive.
I'm the type of gamer who fine-tooth-combs everything in a first playthrough so I don't miss anything. Definitely not as much as some might, because there's always something other gamers find that impresses and intrigues me.
You can make it onto the Constitution on consoles. Once you power up the ship, use your jetpack-modded power armor to quickly get up to the highest point in the building you're in, then fly over to the ship as it's taking off. You still die once the ship crashes, but it's a way to do it on consoles.
My favorite is a different RE4 one; going up a ladder while Ashley is following you, quickly jumping down, then going back up before she's finished climbing. She disapproves.
Dragon Quest 8 has a hidden room somewhere on the over map you can only get to once you unlock the flying ship. You go in and women in bunny suits offer you a "Puff-puff" saying yes blindfolds your character, they take you to the back and rub the character with what's supposed to be their chests, but it's really just slime enemies. It's pretty funny. You can do it with the other characters as well and they all have different reactions. The Funniest being Jessica as she just sits there looking mad.
For fallout 4 on console you don’t need any console commands… just power armour with a jet pack. Can jump on the ship way before it takes off to crash the next block over.
Not really anticipate. Remember it’s a program. You can only do what the program allows you to do. Every jump, move, misdirection is calculated. Everything is coded, therefore everything is known. Anticipation worse than anticipation itself.
If everything was known then there wouldn't be crazy game breaking speedrun tactics 😂. Like I beat the entirety of Re8 in 1 hour and 36 minutes. One part you can shoot through a door you're not supposed to and another you can skip a large part of the castle by going outside of the map.
Falcon, you should reply to me. The other way implies you are Falcon and you are NOT. There is only one Falcon. Ahhhhhhhh (Falcon sound). Flies away majestically.
I have a video where I successfully rode the Constitution all the way to the building without dying or using console commands. Maybe they made it more difficult later on, I dunno. It required some very narrow timing and standing in exactly the right place at the back of the ship and then running to the front right after everything gets wiped off of the deck (which kills you if you're anywhere forward).
Before Halo 1, Deus Ex had consequences for friendly fire and for sparing or knocking out instead of killing enemies that involve completely different story arcs. Also the code 0451 is a reference to the Ray Bradbury book Fahrenheit 451 which fit perfectly into Deus Ex as that game is riddled with future dystopia themes, references and conspiracies that are actually facts. That the UNATCO HQ used a reference to state censorship is an early clue that you aren't working for the good guys.
You can still shoot Hayden in DOOM, if you wait till he starts walking away after he freezes you, you can get a a whole lot of shots off on him, it has custom particles that you can only see if you do this and he even says “your wasting your ammo”. Just goes to show how much a gem the DOOM games are, and how much the boys at ID software thought of, even among the other games of the “golden age of gaming” (2012 to 2020.)
Number 4, you can shoot samual hayden. Right after he apologises for the jolt and tells you this way you can shoot him quickly before your guns are taken away but it does nothing as he seems to have a green shield around him. He just tells you to "save your ammunition" ! though you would want to know :)
In Life is Strange 2, there's 2 super funny interactions that i just came across while playing. In the Motel at the end of Episode 1, before you enter your room u can go to one of the doors in the second floor in which you can hear people "wrestling" inside, if u stand outside the door for a bit, Daniel (lil bro) will come to the door and ask Sean (big bro) what is going on inside there? and u can respond to his question lol At start of Episode 3 when you wake up and had ur morning cup of coffe u will see one of the girls from the camp go into the outdoor shower, if u just walk around the shower for a bit, she will ask who is out there and what are you doing, and u can respond. Dont ask me how i got the 2nd one tho💀
Nah, you can jump on board the USS Constitution just with normal gameplay. You'll need the jetpack on your armour though. Just do it as it's counting down, before it takes off. Ride the ship, have fun, then get below decks just before it crashes.
In Tales of Destiny, it's possible to Beat Leon the first time you encounter him and he fights you. Doing so ends the game early, and yes, this even happens in the English version, translated and all.
god I remember the yakuza zero one, I had every other achievement and didn't know where to get that last one being "I did it for the achievment" so I looked it up and said to myself, "maybe I'm not getting 100% in yakuza zero."
Also in Megaton rain fall, if you fly out of the galaxy and just keep flying you get responses from the devs, and the further you go the funnier it gets they send like 5 or so responses to you flying so far in the universe
You don't have to use console commands to get on the Constitution as it flies away in FO4. XBox and PS can do it too. You just have to be fast getting back on the lifeboat elevator. I've done it many times (after being show how on RUclips). Also, dying when it hit the building isn't guaranteed. You can go below deck and survive just fine, and you'll still feel the impact and see everything shake and the interior will get damaged around you.

I was looking for this comment as I did that yesterday and no one else was talking about it in the comments
one of my favorite examples of this is in ultrakill, where the game creator made dialogue popups that appear out of bounds when you do a major speedrun skip, like the Pipe Clip giving “Pipe Clip still lives” when you do it
"I did it for the Trophy" is a valid excuse, if it's one of the last Trophies you get for a game while working towards that 100%. But when the timing of the Trophy perfectly corresponds with the first time you encounter that Um... "Event", then you absolutely did it for reasons other than the Trophy.
4:20 he complains it’s not fresh, not flesh🤣😭
When I worked for Focus Entertainment...we had a guy who was hired, paid and expected to do everything he could to exploit and break a game. His entire job was to do what the dev hadn't expected, so they could expect it, and do something about it.
Sometimes that was finding a way to make it fun, if it wasn't game breaking, and sometimes it was just making sure they couldn't do it, if it would mess things up too badly.
I was kind of jealous, because it seemed like such a fun job to have.
When I was involved with the Interactive Fiction community, there was a playtester who was notorious for these sorts of things (and much loved for it). He’d try taking a thousand napkins from a dispenser, eating random objects, and closing doors behind him to see what would happen, among many other things.
I dunno, it depends. I had a friend who did something similar to this for a little while, and he thought it would be a cool job to sit around playing games all day and trying to break them, but he said it was the most boring job he's ever had! It mostly consisted of him doing incredibly mundane things over and over again, like trying to walk through every inch of every single wall in the game, then trying to run through them, then trying to jump through them, over and over and over again. It didn't sound like fun. It sounded incredibly monotonous!
Here's a well hidden one for the old timers: In Warcraft 2, there's an option to test your soundcard in the setup, and it starts off with "Your soundcard works perfectly." Keep clicking on it and it will say "Enjoying yourself?" And if you keep at it eventually it will say "It doesn't get any better than this!"
This is a cute little easter egg for WC veterans as players know to hear all the different quips from the units by continuously clicking on them, and as a kid I felt really smart finding out this one on my own lol.
Playing Dirt3 a few years back had a funny interaction. I was adjusting settings that could only be done, at that time, after you started a race. I'd change something, test, readjust and so on. I did that long enough for the navigator to say, "Um . . . We're in a RACE, you know."
In Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, there is a mission where a character is abducted by the borg. In the next mission you are in a borg cube and you see the character being assimilated, If you look around a bit you can find essentially a small obstacle course leading to him, but most likely if you try to get to him they will beam him away just as you reach him. But If you start running for him before the dialogue ends you can make it in time and save him. They knew we would want to save him and made it practically impossible to do it first time through but when you know, you can get the headstart and make it. (The guy will just be recovering in sickbay for the rest of the game so It doesn't impact the story but its still pretty cool.)
What about that Skyrim cave where you can loot a dead girl's corpse and take her armor and then her ghost gets mad at you
Two of my favorite moments like this are 'South Park: The Fractured But Whole' (Cartman scolds you for cheating, while dressed as Bill Belichick) and 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' ("Reading the last page first?").
Worst thing is, I got called out by Cartman despite guessing the password fair & square lol
@@Fonzzz002 : Cartman: "You broke the rules ... rules ..... rules."
Stop cheating Tom Brady!
In og ff7 when you leave Midgar you have to choose party members and if you chose the 2 girls leaving out Barrett and Red, Barrat says "I knew you’d do that!" Haha
Plus entering the rocket code. Doing it first try, Cid will be suspicious of you since it would be impossible to know in game already unless you worked for Shinra.
The two I think of is God of War when Kratos throws his axe. The devs knew people would throw the axe and then see if Kratos would leave it behind if he walks the a door/portal. But nope, he calls it back every time on his own. And the Last of Us 2 that damn work bench. They knew EXACTLY players were gonna goto that bench for necessary upgrades. Made the room feel safe even if the silence was eery. Set it up in a nice spot, then boom, you're getting jumped and from that point I think we all approached the workbenches with more caution from then on.
8:18 It’s also an Achievement. Killing the Captain spawns a squad of invincible marines from an otherwise locked room. Inside that room is blood splatter that spells out a name.
Looking at said blood splatter unlocks the Achievement.
I’m not sure if this counts, but in X-Men Legends if you are any character that has super strength like Beast you can throw Wolverine at enemies. If you throw him a few times for no reason he gets mad and will attack you; it doesn’t do any damage on you, but it’s still funny to see.
Looking under 2B's skirt moment
My first thought was this had to be on the list. How was it missed!
Literally what I thought 😂
@deannal.newton9772 Wait fr?
@@familyguy610you can’t put everything on the list in the world
I thought for sure he'd do Ashley, how could he not 😍
In one of the first mech warrior games you get on a training mission with your commander. He teaches you how to weapon lock enemies, so naturally you start by locking on to him. He then says ‘keep that laser out of my face!’ If you then shoot him, he will unleash on you with everything he has.
another good one from RE4 is trying to look at Ashley's underwear she immediately covers herself up and calls you out for it lmao they knew we were going to do it and we did it!!
Thanks for making us all watch the tapes to 100% this video….. it’s like you knew what you were doing. 😂
You can ride the USS Constitution on console and survive too. You just need power armor and a jetpack.
Came here to say (mostly) this :)
That's what I did on PC, but it actually killed me by mashing me into the skybox or something.
@@FelisImpurrator Maybe you can't survive then, but at least you can ride it before you die
If you hang out on the back of the ship, or manage to get inside, you could survive the trip.
You don’t need power armor, jetpack, or console. Just tell your companion to flip the switch, sprint to the back of the ship, ride the boat to the too deck, and enter the ship after the switch gets flipped and before the ship moves. Enjoy the ride.
Aloy's VR reactions are funny AF.
Just finished up work,
A new gameranx video,
Happiness fills me.
I always think about when you aim your gun at boon in fallout new Vegas.
“How about I aim my gun at you and see how you like it”
Is boons response
Haha that first one with Aloy is a hoot and kinda trippy. I love it.
Lone Echo/Lone Echo 2, if you try to grab on to the female protagonists arm or butt when she floats through zero gravity to hold on, she'll push your hand off. Also when stationed, she looks at you while brushing your hands off her butt.
Shame it wasn't recognised. It's a massive indicator that Devs knew their audience 😂
Holy cow, more Lone Echo fans. Love that game!
In fallout 4, regardless of what platform you're on, you can hit the switch and then just run and jump across the rooftops to get on the ship. You do not need console commands.
I remember telling my companion to flip the switch. But yes! You can absolutely do it on console and without cheating.
'Gave it my best shot' for shooting at the puzzle at number 7 is the best sentence the character could have possibly said😂
JayWay82 here. Thx for including my clip and link in the description. Much love. ❤
i've never played a yakuza game, so i didn't know about that achievement, but i decided to lookup the names. they are actual, real life adult video stars. lol Your character is watching real videos of real people doing thier actual profession. that attention to detail is insane
😢Falcon please do not retire anytime soon😢
one of my all time favorites was the original Diablo, there were cows on the map. you could 'interact' with them and they would moo. so ofc you make them moo, and moo, and moo, and eventually they just go MOOOOO! they KNEW we were gonna do that.
Just wanna say, your channel has really been there for me during some real tough times in my life. Being able to look forward to your daily videos about the gaming industry is whats keeping me sane. Thank you Gameranx and all those part of the team. I literally wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. =)
keep up the good fight, mate. try to seek out whatever makes you feel really curious and gives you feeling of awe. i bought civilization 6 when it was heavily on sale, and it lead me down a massive, massive rabbit hole. now i listen to lots and lots of history audiobooks, and my youtube feed is full of history stuff, or history podcasts like the fall of civilization one. i also read history ebooks, or wikipedia before bed instead of scrolling reddit--which has also helped.
i never connected to history before, but those civilization games and the paradox ones, and stuff like assassin's creed, etc., have all really brought it to life in a way that books never could. now when i wake up, i'm really eager to learn more about the past.
anyway, i hope you find many more things to keep you curious and looking forward to something.
I'm with you on that man. If you need another really good videogame related channel to binge check out viva la dirt league. They have whole series of videogame parodies and satires that are just golden. Gameranx thank you as well for your excellent channel
Great list. Video games often anticipate our next move, which is part of what makes them so engaging. Some classics like The Legend of Zelda series and Metal Gear Solid are known for their clever ways of reading player intentions. Even Gates of Pyre, despite still in beta really gets into the player's head with its great Lore and storyline.
AC Odyssey - climb on a particular piece of the statue of Zeus in Kephallonia and you get a fun quip
That was a fun moment. I mean, we’re all gonna try it, right?
Facts
I mean, how can ya not!?😂
1:18 That animation is just perfect. Nicely done.
I started playing Yakuza Kiwami for the first time, and those "videos" are in there, too. But what's even stranger is that they are somehow the "reward" for completing the story of a hostess. Like, it's not even something I knew was going to happen, it just came out of complete left field!
I like how in Max Payne 3 the story narration correlates to what you do, even when you wander around. There was a bar on one stage, and I wandered in and dude goes "As much as I wanted a drink, I had a to stay focused" or something. Made me chuckle.
Falcon: "I had to watch at least one...for the video."
Years ago when I was playing the Cars game on GameCube, playing as Lightning McQueen, I slowly nosed up to a female NPC car trying to kiss her. She said "Ugh, that is so disgusting." Looking back on it now, it's kinda insane that they built that in.
Unless I'm misremembering the entire thing and imagined it all.
Number 7 was written just for me: out-of-nowhere puzzles is my number one pet peeve in video games. The worst: "Hmmm, maybe if I move these mirrors to redirect the light...the door will open?"
Yeah, same here. I hate those moments. Some people love that stuff. Not me.
Assassin's Creed Origins, maybe?
Number 9: You don't need to enable any commands, you are not locked from moving. If you are wearing power armor with a jetpack you can get on the ship even on console. You DO die if the ship crashes while you are on the deck, but if you go below deck before it collides you survive.
Listen they know us, they know why we play. 😅
The VR Alloy is better then the sequel
Its so much fun when they predict certain actions along as they do not forbid having fun
I'm the type of gamer who fine-tooth-combs everything in a first playthrough so I don't miss anything. Definitely not as much as some might, because there's always something other gamers find that impresses and intrigues me.
Ok
Like finishing every quest in Skyrim, and then taking everything that is possible to take from every house in the game?
You can make it onto the Constitution on consoles. Once you power up the ship, use your jetpack-modded power armor to quickly get up to the highest point in the building you're in, then fly over to the ship as it's taking off. You still die once the ship crashes, but it's a way to do it on consoles.
Hey Falcon
Hey
My favorite is a different RE4 one; going up a ladder while Ashley is following you, quickly jumping down, then going back up before she's finished climbing. She disapproves.
Some of us have no shame so it doesn't bother me. Wife, son, and siblings have all seen me playing it. Most gamer's lack morals and scruples.
No, we don't
Dragon Quest 8 has a hidden room somewhere on the over map you can only get to once you unlock the flying ship. You go in and women in bunny suits offer you a "Puff-puff" saying yes blindfolds your character, they take you to the back and rub the character with what's supposed to be their chests, but it's really just slime enemies. It's pretty funny. You can do it with the other characters as well and they all have different reactions. The Funniest being Jessica as she just sits there looking mad.
In the horizon example
Theres a soldier somewhere near the main house that has the same VA as Sasuke Uchiha😂
Yuri Lowenthal. He's the voice of the Prince of Persia and the new PlayStation Spider-Man.

On the Elden Ring trap, not only did I fall for it, I did a jump attack into it thinking that I would outsmart the ambush.
It's phychologye....pure form of mindset.
For fallout 4 on console you don’t need any console commands… just power armour with a jet pack. Can jump on the ship way before it takes off to crash the next block over.
Not really anticipate. Remember it’s a program. You can only do what the program allows you to do. Every jump, move, misdirection is calculated. Everything is coded, therefore everything is known. Anticipation worse than anticipation itself.
If everything was known then there wouldn't be crazy game breaking speedrun tactics 😂. Like I beat the entirety of Re8 in 1 hour and 36 minutes. One part you can shoot through a door you're not supposed to and another you can skip a large part of the castle by going outside of the map.
14:23 Disappointed there was no Anri Okita.
Aloy reacting to you trying to grope her really is such an amazing detail.
You should reply to me Falcon
Falcon...falcon...you should reply to *me*
Go away.
Shut up
Leave the man be 😂 fans be wildin
Falcon, you should reply to me. The other way implies you are Falcon and you are NOT. There is only one Falcon. Ahhhhhhhh (Falcon sound). Flies away majestically.
That first ad placement was a masterclass.
The idea of being a creep toward a video game character in VR is exactly why we will never see a utopia in our lifetime.
have a look at the science experiment 'mouse utopia' and tell me we are not already there :(
1:28 "Being a pest is what you do in a VR game."
As a long-time user of VRChat, I can confirm this.
Great video 📹🎮 😎👍
I love the way falcon talks, and i really want to imitate his fluent conversation style antics to my channel.
Love gameranx
He does nail the pretend old man vibe thats for sure
Great compilation!
I have a video where I successfully rode the Constitution all the way to the building without dying or using console commands. Maybe they made it more difficult later on, I dunno. It required some very narrow timing and standing in exactly the right place at the back of the ship and then running to the front right after everything gets wiped off of the deck (which kills you if you're anywhere forward).
I really like the secret achievements of Prey (2017) that clearly shows that they had expected all the things a player might want to do.
Before Halo 1, Deus Ex had consequences for friendly fire and for sparing or knocking out instead of killing enemies that involve completely different story arcs. Also the code 0451 is a reference to the Ray Bradbury book Fahrenheit 451 which fit perfectly into Deus Ex as that game is riddled with future dystopia themes, references and conspiracies that are actually facts. That the UNATCO HQ used a reference to state censorship is an early clue that you aren't working for the good guys.
another amazing gameranx vid.
love ya falcon ❤
You can still shoot Hayden in DOOM, if you wait till he starts walking away after he freezes you, you can get a a whole lot of shots off on him, it has custom particles that you can only see if you do this and he even says “your wasting your ammo”. Just goes to show how much a gem the DOOM games are, and how much the boys at ID software thought of, even among the other games of the “golden age of gaming” (2012 to 2020.)
Number 4, you can shoot samual hayden. Right after he apologises for the jolt and tells you this way you can shoot him quickly before your guns are taken away but it does nothing as he seems to have a green shield around him. He just tells you to "save your ammunition" ! though you would want to know :)
A falcon video a day keeps the sadness away 🙂
In Life is Strange 2, there's 2 super funny interactions that i just came across while playing.
In the Motel at the end of Episode 1, before you enter your room u can go to one of the doors in the second floor in which you can hear people "wrestling" inside, if u stand outside the door for a bit, Daniel (lil bro) will come to the door and ask Sean (big bro) what is going on inside there? and u can respond to his question lol
At start of Episode 3 when you wake up and had ur morning cup of coffe u will see one of the girls from the camp go into the outdoor shower, if u just walk around the shower for a bit, she will ask who is out there and what are you doing, and u can respond.
Dont ask me how i got the 2nd one tho💀
Nah, you can jump on board the USS Constitution just with normal gameplay. You'll need the jetpack on your armour though. Just do it as it's counting down, before it takes off. Ride the ship, have fun, then get below decks just before it crashes.
In Tales of Destiny, it's possible to Beat Leon the first time you encounter him and he fights you. Doing so ends the game early, and yes, this even happens in the English version, translated and all.
#10 should’ve been #1. So funny and so well executed.
this entire video concept was just a setup for Falcon to further defend himself getting that final achievement
god I remember the yakuza zero one, I had every other achievement and didn't know where to get that last one being "I did it for the achievment" so I looked it up and said to myself, "maybe I'm not getting 100% in yakuza zero."
Also in Megaton rain fall, if you fly out of the galaxy and just keep flying you get responses from the devs, and the further you go the funnier it gets they send like 5 or so responses to you flying so far in the universe
You don't have to use console commands to get on the Constitution as it flies away in FO4. XBox and PS can do it too. You just have to be fast getting back on the lifeboat elevator. I've done it many times (after being show how on RUclips).
Also, dying when it hit the building isn't guaranteed. You can go below deck and survive just fine, and you'll still feel the impact and see everything shake and the interior will get damaged around you.
Champions of Norrath also had a transparent overlay map and i literally always had it on. It honestly is so awesome. I wish more RPGs had that map type option..
I think the first one is the best one (number 10) those faces she did are fun lol
The others are nice easter eggs/functions tho!
