You're going through reverse puberty honey. Your voice is going to change and get higher pitched, hair will stop growing where it used to.... it's all perfectly natural and nothing to worry about.
The save system in Alien: Isolation was genius, and what actually made it scary because you might genuinely lose a load of progress if you chose the wrong moment / save location. Waiting all those seconds for the save to finish while you could here the bloody thing growling somewhere... possibly right behind you.
Facts. Not only that, but it was like a source of hope that increased the stress. It was like a "oh thank god" moment that you still had to stress about. Great mechanic
I think Fallout 3 deserves some credit. Not only was Bethesda taking the reigns of a beloved IP, they were changing the entire gameplay. Regardless of critics, 3 expanded the fanbase massively and laid the foundation for New Vegas.
@@Grapefruit5000it was a huge risk. It was an IP known for its isometric top down view and rich RPG mechanics. Fans of the original 2 did not like the idea of Fallout turning into an FPS. But it was a good game that found a larger audience. Some of the og fans still don't like it and we ended up with Wasteland 3 to scratch that old RPG itch
Not really. It already had a die hard fanbase. They didnt introduce any original ideas. They just took the a 2d game to 3d. But without half the things that made Fallout a great RPG. They actually dumbed it down to a console generation, precisely to take LESS RISKS
I feel like Sekiro is really different. Whereas Bloodborne is slightly different…but the rest are just direct upgrades to the games that came before them.
Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, Diablo, most of MMOs... what's your point? It seems only From is taking that treatment when other companies do the exact same thing
@user-vt6td9hp3g funny joke. DS 3 is the best in the series and Elden Ring is a massive open-world and prioritizes exploration much more than previous souls games
@@PowerSenpai They lost their reputation. I really don't seem really near the future where Ubisoft still rocks like its 2000-12. They don't care anymore and you can tell. For sure there is some more but we can judge what we can pay so T-T
@nemaun Still not impossible for them to get a good reputation again but it is not something that happens on the short term. But even if it is possible it won't happen. Their greed and incompetence is what they know and they will continue to lean on this as long as nothing changes in the leadership of the company.
The game was truly scary to play because of the environment and what you had to deal with. Yeah it was frustrating at times, but if you stuck it out, you were rewarded with a game you won't forget.
The Last Guardian is such a misunderstood masterpiece. People treat Trico like just another game mechanic, but if you treat him as intended he listens well and you form a genuine bond. You wouldn't be able to form that bond if he always listened by default. It's far from perfect, but it's one of the most powerful pieces of art I've experienced.
I came to the comments to say pretty much exactly this. I have experience raising strays and Trico's behaviour was extremely self-explanatory to me but my friend played it and experienced the frustration Falcon was talking about and I was completely flabbergasted at the time. I'd replay it once a month if I didn't have severe emotional trauma from the tower sequence near the end of the game. I'll never forget that gore.
i think that out of the three, last guardian is the strongest artistic statement. i loved it. it felt like a more evolved ICO to me. SOTC is still my favorite, but last guardian is a close second. ICO is third.
I would agree if it wasn't for the fact that the issues with working with Trico are not just related to your bond with him. He's janky. Even Director and Team Ico leader Fumito Ueda admitted he's janky because he was originally developed for the PS3, and they couldn't transfer all of his data over when they had to switch to the PS4 (plus they left Sony and started their own studio.) The Last Guardian is kind of a mess in terms of execution in a way the first 2 games are not.
@@azalago ya sure that's why I said it's far from perfect, but it's still such a unique and effective work of art, and for how ambitious it is some jank is kinda expected. Even SotC can be very janky too, they're just such unique, ambitious games that it's easy for me to put up with.
It's been years since I played this game so maybe I'm mistaken. But my conclusion by the end of the game was that Trico was far less likely to follow commands if you stood on his head. If you gave commands on his back he would look back to see where you're pointing and generally get things right first try. And if that was actually the way that Trico worked that's kind of brilliant. Not only from a technical perspective, but also because it punishes people for arrogance.
Dark Souls 2 did cut your health bar down every time you died as you "Hollowed" think the max was 50% of your HP bar, speed runners used that as a way to increase the damage they can do with their weapons and accessories.
Has Falcon got a review of Hatoful Boyfriend - that dating simulator game where everyone is a bird? If not, he's got to play it and put up a review on April 1st!
And the anime got cancelled. This thing is cursed. I think the only way he can finish this story is with a book. But it would probably become the New Winds of Winter
New Yakuza wasn't that big of a risk. I believe the story is fairly well known: Saga made the JRPG Yakuza demo as an April Fool's joke, but the fans loved the idea and petitioned for them to actually make the game. So they answered the fans and made it.
How did Resident Evil 7 not make this list? A numbered entry in the franchise switching to a first-person view, with a cast and story that seemingly had no link to previous entries.
I think RE6 flopped so hard that it wasn't SEEN as risky as the other choices. Still must have took some testicular fortitude to bring the idea to the bosses.
I will put RE4 instead which took the risk to change the camera (fixed isometric to the 3rd person view that we know in modern game) and the combat gameplay
@@johnlequebecois eh, possibly, but I think RE4 was less of a drastic switch. Plus it still included a known character and a clear continuation of the story.
Metal Gear Rising Revengence, A Metal Gear game not made by Kojima, starring the controversial lead character from MGS 2, and having a sword be the major gameplay mechanic could have been a disaster.
They did an amazing job capturing the tone and style of metal gear while doing their own thing at the same time. One of the best examples of a spin-off done right and it's with one of the toughest franchises to possibly capture the essence of.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth should’ve made this list. Especially for a Remake of such an iconic game…. I think they masterfully made something that was both true to the original game. While also incorporating just enough new things to leave us wondering where the next part is going to lead us.
I'd personally put any souls game from FromSoftware on the list, it's a big gamble for them to hide more than half of the contemt behind optional/secret areas.
It's not a risk anymore. They know people love that shit. Making Armored Core was a pretty big gamble from them because it's not like their souls games at all
@@allthatishere Yes. But those types of games are a lot more akin to PS2 games than modern games. Armored Core has never sold like their souls games. Putting years into developing an Armored Core game is a risk because all financials say they shouldn't
It’s so refreshing when a developer takes these kinds of risks and puts out a game they feel strongly about. It really shows in the integrity and quality of the game.
Nier Automata, it's gameplay, it's variety, it's soundtrack, it's story and it's variety, all these things could be a turn off for some but for me, it is one of the greatest games pf all time (it also has my favourite game soundtrack of all time, it sounds so unique)
I've just played the first Nier a while ago and honestly, it's not a risky concept at all, it's quite genius. The variety resulted in me never getting bored and I never knew what to expect next. Everyone wants variety in games, right? Looking forward to playing Automata next.
Yo thank you for the Metroid Prime suggestion. I came up on the 2D entries & have never gotten the chance til now to try the 3D. Does it really still keep that metroidvania feel? I’m pumped! Peace 🎉
im super biased towards dragons dogma 2, its a nice change to have a game never handhold you throughout the whole process. the map is HUGE and theres a lot of stuff to explore. im only waiting for more DLC content because once you finish the game and NG+ it gets repetitive
It seems that a GOTY contender when it released,is now considered hard,bland and repetitive. People forget easily,and find new games to play. At least the overwhelmingly positive reviews(gameinformer,vg247 and more) are still there. The game is great and much better than the first one imo. I'm currently playing it and having a blast!
Divinity original sin was definitely a big moment. I had friends that ONLY played COD and didn’t like single player games that we’re obsessed with Divinity
The remake to Saints Row was one of the biggest risk in my opinion. I tried to defend that game but overtime it just couldn't compare with how the franchise was back in the day like I'd prefer Gat Out Of Hell that basically felt like a DLC which was a full game over the remake.
The list is more about risks in mechanical design choice, not necessarily in direction. Despite the overall direction, the Saints Row reboot, foundationally, runs the same as all the other Saints Rows.
I really enjoyed the Saints Row reboot (granted, I went in with low expectations following poor reviews, and I didn't pay for it as it was free with PS+) and that it dialled back the silliness from SR4 (which I also enjoyed) and GOuH (which I did not).
DD2 was amazing but your right about alot of it there was barley direction & they could have added more lore as in giving us more information to read for example the enemies, areas, story. Hear most of it from the pawns talking amongst eachother
I'm always happy to hear people mention divinity original sin 1 and 2. Easily underrated and endlessly fun in co-op. I ow. Both games on every platform I can and I by it for friends all the time to share one of the greatest games that I have ever enjoyed.
tbh when I saw the catastrophe that was FFXIV at launch and they decided to "remake" the game in such a short amount of time.. I honestly thought it was such a disaster and it would flop SO hard.. Damn was I so wrong. I don't play the game but obviously they turned the ship around 180° in such a stellar fashion, you can only respect that
what's with falcon's voice, did he get a new mic? it sounds like he's playing a goofy soon-to-die character with the weird inflictions lmao 11:18 "tHrIvEd" ahahahhah 15:06 "vEry VerY GReat"
Very surprised No Mans Sky wasn’t on this list. I very ambitious concept by a very small studio was already risky, but to then continue supporting the game with full force after an abysmal launch was insane
I thought xcom was good, except they didnt implement the accuracy well at all. I stopped playing it cause of that. You could jave 95% chance to hit and miss 3 times in a row.
Dragon's dogma /DD2 is a video game for those who remember that back in the day, video games didn't have lock ok, many save slots, fast travels, and a lot of them were hard as balls. So hard that, if you died at the last boss, you'd have to start at the beginning of the whole game. I love both Dragon's dogma games, issues and all.
Yea but it’s supposed to be a modern game bro there’s so many mechanics that were half assed and they didn’t fix issues that was already present in the first game in the second one, and yea dd2 is hard at first but there’s no challenge when u start a ng+ they didn’t even go through the effort into having a good variety of different enemies when u go to battal it’s just the same enemies but now they do poison damage… such a huge change bruh💀 the game should’ve been a masterpiece but instead was such a huge waste of time for me
Not having The Wind Waker on this list is criminal. It should be at the top. The entire internet was up in arms until they finally got to play it. Ocarina of Time was considered the best game of all time and people loved adult link with its more mature theme. They also loved the original Gamecube demo of adult Link fighting Ganondorf. Then they did a complete 180 and made a cartoony looking game with child Link and everyone was angry. It also didn't sell that well compared to other 3D Zelda's. Nintendo had to explain and justify their decision constantly to the media.
Can someone please explain to me the love for Kojima games? Its just a bunch or random shit happening that makes no sense tied together by weird game systems. Yet for some reason everyone acts like he is the greatest storyteller and game maker of all time.
I am a fan of the gameplay. Kojima games are usually high quality, detailed and well polished. However, I don't care about the plots at all. As you said it's usually pretty dumb and the cutscenes are way too long.
I honestly surprised that you didn't include The Last of Us Part II. I would say that that game seems to have taken one of the biggest story risks in quite a while in video games. It seems that your list is based of of risks in gameplay and not what happens necessarily in the narrative part of the game so it's understandable.

I think Kingdom Come Deliverance deserves a spot in the list, one of only a few kickstarter campaigns that did work out.
Strongly agree
Also agree!
Worked out and excelled ❤
I'd say that, since it's a Kickstarter campaign, it actually was very low risk.
@@Marcc112 Disagree,I did not deliver the come, misleading title.
I will be buying the next installment, but I will not be fooled a third time .
And it was all the more risky since it is not a casual game that holds the player's hand

tbh when I saw the catastrophe that was FFXIV at launch and they decided to "remake" the game in such a short amount of time.. I honestly thought it was such a disaster and it would flop SO hard..
Damn was I so wrong. I don't play the game but obviously they turned the ship around 180° in such a stellar fashion, you can only respect that

what's with falcon's voice, did he get a new mic? it sounds like he's playing a goofy soon-to-die character with the weird inflictions lmao
11:18 "tHrIvEd" ahahahhah
15:06 "vEry VerY GReat"
I get crazy chills hearing the Metroid Prime title theme, even to this day. That game was life changing when I was young.
Who are you and what have you done with the real Falcon?
Very surprised No Mans Sky wasn’t on this list. I very ambitious concept by a very small studio was already risky, but to then continue supporting the game with full force after an abysmal launch was insane
Make a video about games which took the least amount of risks.
From top 10 there would a lot of Call of Dutys.
GTAV, Fortnite, Assassin Creed, EA sport games, Battlefield could all fit in that list
Dragons dogma is the no.1 slept on game in history. If only Bethesda didn’t release Skyrim the same year
Whats happened to your voice dude 😮
You guys have lately been my fav gaming channel.... Always looking forward to top 10 lists and the gaming news Fridays
I thought xcom was good, except they didnt implement the accuracy well at all. I stopped playing it cause of that. You could jave 95% chance to hit and miss 3 times in a row.
yooo, falcon gotta new mic??
You.... are not.... Falcon?
Excellent video guys!
I thought i would see deadly premonition on this list as well lol
Falcon been throating that Helium
Helium makes your voice sound higher pitched, not lower.
This isn't falcon, it's his evil twin brother hawk. That's why he sounds different.
Falcon using A.I😂😂😂
Yessir. Thems facts.
Whoaaa Falcon sounding different this time... is Falcon capable of alternating his voice anytime he wants to?!
Dragon's dogma /DD2 is a video game for those who remember that back in the day, video games didn't have lock ok, many save slots, fast travels, and a lot of them were hard as balls. So hard that, if you died at the last boss, you'd have to start at the beginning of the whole game. I love both Dragon's dogma games, issues and all.
Yea but it’s supposed to be a modern game bro there’s so many mechanics that were half assed and they didn’t fix issues that was already present in the first game in the second one, and yea dd2 is hard at first but there’s no challenge when u start a ng+ they didn’t even go through the effort into having a good variety of different enemies when u go to battal it’s just the same enemies but now they do poison damage… such a huge change bruh💀 the game should’ve been a masterpiece but instead was such a huge waste of time for me
Not having The Wind Waker on this list is criminal. It should be at the top. The entire internet was up in arms until they finally got to play it. Ocarina of Time was considered the best game of all time and people loved adult link with its more mature theme. They also loved the original Gamecube demo of adult Link fighting Ganondorf. Then they did a complete 180 and made a cartoony looking game with child Link and everyone was angry. It also didn't sell that well compared to other 3D Zelda's. Nintendo had to explain and justify their decision constantly to the media.
Why does video feel AI generated compared to other gameranx vids?
Can someone please explain to me the love for Kojima games? Its just a bunch or random shit happening that makes no sense tied together by weird game systems. Yet for some reason everyone acts like he is the greatest storyteller and game maker of all time.
I am a fan of the gameplay. Kojima games are usually high quality, detailed and well polished. However, I don't care about the plots at all. As you said it's usually pretty dumb and the cutscenes are way too long.
I honestly surprised that you didn't include The Last of Us Part II. I would say that that game seems to have taken one of the biggest story risks in quite a while in video games. It seems that your list is based of of risks in gameplay and not what happens necessarily in the narrative part of the game so it's understandable.
Definitely yeah.
The original being Metal Gear Solid 2?
Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle worked so well it got an even better sequel with Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope
