I feel bad for players who bought it and then sadly got in their ship and realized you can't take off. That has to suck. Getting pumped to just immerse yourself in space and just flying and you can even properly explore like you want. Hopefully we get a single player game like NMS with a story and RPG mechanics
Fighting Titan made me go "damn this is cool" but fighting Bahamut really made me go "Holy Shit this game is awesome!" Lol the pure spectacle of going into the upper atmosphere to fight was just hella crazy lol
It had to be in Armor Core 6 on the ice worm mission for the first time when Rusty shoots the rail cannon, and all the sound starts to cut out for the perfect shot. Gives me chills playing that mission!
A few moments from my gaming year. Realizing that Tears of the Kingdom had three maps, not just one, to explore. And in Octopath Traveler 2, the final act where you face the final boss. In the second phase of the fight, you battle the boss with all eight travelers, and it is just the coolest feeling ever.
For the Alan Wake 2 point... "why the F is this happening?" Is exactly what I thought when the rock opera started. I was so confused but also very amused.
@TheFreshSoundsFlorida it definitely does. It's still fun, but I'd agree if you said it doesn't really belong in the game. Tbh I do have a lot of complaints about Alan Wake 2, but I still love it for what it is. It SHOULD have been better but it's still a good game.
It’s there because it was Alan’s idea of reminding himself who he was since he’s been stuck in The Dark Place for so long that he was forgetting himself. It’s also a reflection of his inflated ego and how it got him there in the first place.
That AW2 level was pretty good, but there is another crazy scene late in the game with the Old Gods of Asgard playing a live show while you fight that I think tops it. While playing it, I was literally thinking how I've never played anything quite like this and how freaking awesome it is.
Glad to see Ghostrunner 2 getting some well-deserved recognition. It is one of the best games of 2023 and one of my top 3 games of the year. Speaking of which, the first Ghostrunner is available for free on Epic right now. Can't recommend it enough.
The betray songbird quests are awesome in phantom liberty. You first start by shooting your way through Kurt’s forces and even killing him, then you have to hide from a spider robot in order to find her memories. I love the story and if tga had a best dlc this would take the award
The whole Alan Wake 2 was f*cking awesome (especially with the NG+), I can't wait to play the DLCs ❤. But Star Wars was awesome too, I also liked that game. Happy new year to everyone 🙂. I hope we will get great games in 2024 too.
The venom mechanic should be the next big thing. It would be quite fun in games to control the bosses in a scene before a boss battle. Not only would it give you ideas how to fight them, but if done right make them all the more intimidating too.
Horizon's Horus fight is the one thing that gave me the spark I needed to run mega huge monsters in my D&D game. Before, I was always hesitant to bring in truly enormous titanic enemies for my higher leveled games, because even though you have a legendary sword that's not going to do squat against Godzilla if his outer carapace is like 100 feet thick, but that fight scene gave me the ideas I needed. Instead of the giant beast squaring up against the players, it is wading through the set piece, each time its turn comes around the entire battlefield changes, every one of its titanic steps are sending shockwaves across the land, opening ravines and fissures in the ground itself, and the player characters will have to keep pace somehow. Instead of hacking numbly at the beast's stone-like skin, the player characters are rolling to hit weak spots in the creature's skin, sites of old wounds, ancient weaponry stuck in its carapace from a long forgotten era, the gaps between its armor plates where its titanic blood vessels carry the nutrients to repair its body. Eventually, the characters must find a way inside the monster, where instead of facing the monster as a whole they are facing the monster's immune system, the parasites or symbiotic organisms that live within the beast, that seeks to either block the characters' way or are just seizing an opportunity. The more time the characters takes fighting off the immune system, the more defenders the immune system sends, until eventually the trillions of immune cells would overwhelm them, so they must work fast, killing just the ones in their way and making their way deeper into the creature's system, until they can take out the creature's core, or cores, such as its heart's pace-making nerve bundle, its brainstem's connection to the spine, the central part of its brain that regulates all muscle movements, and so on. Of course, the insides of the creature itself is an alien and hostile environment, with blood rushing with the force of a tsunami, and body temperature soaring to such a degree that even stone starts to melt. I ran this game with my most experienced player group using their level 18-20 characters, and four out of seven died by the end, though they did slay the beast, and they tell me that it's one of the best high-level games they've played. Oh yeah and for context, the monster in question measured 3 miles from nose to tail, and stood nearly 1000 feet at the shoulders, so not anything that's normally found in D&D games.
Lizzy wizzy's performance in cyberpunk phantom liberty definitely deserves a place. I mean it's not a holy crap moment but definitely a WOW moment to me. Great video thanks and happy new year 🎊❤
Surprises not to see GoW Valhalla on here. The moment the old school enemies came in and when you got the Blade of Olympus blew my mind. Hopefully it's a sign a a trilogy remake
DAMN there were some great moments scattered about. Wasn’t a huge fan of the game the first run but damn the finale of the 2nd and entire 3rd were great. Teaming up with Rusty and the reveal of Iguazu were so good! The Iguazu thing had me thinking really hard. Because right before the reveal we can learn there’s one other mystery pilot AND someone told Iguazu where to find and ambush you during Snail fight. I figured out that ONLY Ayre and Allmind would know at that point, so I kinda guessed it would be Allmind. That being said, the final fight caught me off guard. Really fun fight too. I love how his mech is strong as hell but not really piloted that well. Like in the final phase he’s gonna annihilate your health but he’s kinda easy to evade. Made it seem like the last ditch efforts of a guy that’s going down. Whole 3rd run was really smartly done.
I would definitely include the Light Dragon in TOTK, once I finished that questline and realized the insane scope of time that had passed after the decision, I just almost felt sick.....like, just fuckin traumatized for a minute, lmao
Building size? There are structures in the first part of the Titan fight that show Ifrit is building sized. Titan Lost is basically fighting a mountain. Great video!
I would have personally chosen Cals darkside segment over the mech fight. Seeing him embrace it then go nuts and slaughter all those troopers was crazy
Getting rid of your troops to replace them with demons and cultists or just only to resurrect them as eternally loyal, undead soldiers as a demon/lich respectively in WotR.
Wow, the alternate NG++ for starfield is pretty cool. Too bad only like a handful of people probably actually saw it since the game is so boring you’d have to be a madman or a Bethesda dev to finish it 3 times
I would add the first time you turn from a HUMAN to a GOD in Asgard’s Wrath II on Quest 3. The perspective shifts so radically from the first person ground level to a God looking over the entire level, it’s incredible. And I love how you can still see your human form so tiny down below. It’s impressive use of VR in the best way.
One thing they could’ve done in Spider Man 2 is the good and Bad ending like they did in Web Of Shadows, plus you get to pick which character to play as like in Transformers FoC
Damn it was a good year, Robocop was the surprise hit for me,FF16 was a return to form/status for Square and solid Indy hits (sea of stars) and new classics (Mario wonders), not even mentioning awesome stuff I didn’t have the time for (Zelda TotK/Baldurs Gate)… what a year.
It’d be cool to see you guys do a video similar to this on epic music moments (if haven’t done already). Like that climb in Returnal to get to that boss playing the organ as the music slowly gets louder ad more intense is just 🔥
For me, this year nothing beats when you finally fight Raphael in Baldurs Gate 3 when you heist his mansion in Hell. He suddenly starts singing DURING his own boss battle like a god damn Disney villain and it's glorious. It's also great that it's an actual hard fight at a point in the game when you are high level and can usually just brute force most things
Man I tell you, Falcon and Gameranx are my intro to games I may likely have never given a glance to. Ironically, those titles I've tried may be deemed old in "year" standards, but are new to me in terms of introduction.
Final Fantasy 16 made my jaw drop at that reveal of that boss, it was literally attack on titan!! Most fun I had playing that game, it was wild seeing Hugo basically eat senzu beans and gain more power like a freaking Colossal Titan!
@@breensprout same here, I could write an essay on all the things they did wrong, SE never learning from their mistakes with 15, the bosses were the best parts of this game, but they worked backwards from there, thinking of the story and character development last :(
My honorable mentions: in Assasin's Creed Odyssey when you're on the starting island, you're not particularly impressed with the size but it's decent, and I spent a good 20 hours doing side quests and exploring before I decided to continue the story, just to have the map open up into an entire world, probably one of it not the biggest maps I've ever played in a game. Days Gone, similar situation. I played idk how many hours, and when I took the trek up to the snowy mountains I thought the story was pretty much wrapping up and he was going to ride off into the sunset (maybe I just didn't pay attention to the story as closely as I thought I did). NOPE. Turned around and slapped me with a whole nother map. I was only halfway through the game. Literally half the map had been blocked off. I had no idea this was coming as there was no greyed out area or indication that there was more because the map just ended at the borders. These may not be mind blowing to most people, but they were for me at the times of playing them.
I’ve gotta had it to Remedy they went so absurdly over the top with Alan Wake II and I’m all for it. Herald of Darkness would be out of place anywhere else, but perfectly fits in a Remedy game.
Man, i hadn't heard Alloy's voice in a long time. Forgot there even was any DLC for a Horizon game. After im done with Hogwarts, this is high on the list. I loved Dawn and West.
Same, when you get transported there, and check the map and it's all greyed out, and you're like "where the hell am I?" and then you zoom out and realize how far you are from where you were. Excellent game design. Really made you put in the effort to unlock the rest of the map and explore.
i just wanna say, props to falcon for going to the effort of figuring out exactly what type of vehicle it is in #7. star wars fans appreciate this immensly
I haven't played Robo cop but it must have done a very good job that a mission with only shooting and killing is very amazing. Any other game with just mindless killing would get criticized badly.
I really like the mortal Kombat 1 twist of Kuai Liang being Scorpion like seriously loved it Kuai and scorpion were my 2 favorite characters so them being one and the same blew my mind
The bank heist makes me chuckle quite a bit actually. Like just imagine if the cops hadn't shown up and they got away with the cash, but then because there's so many of them after the split they each get like 2500$ or something ridiculous :P
Happy New Year 🎆 to Falcon and Jake!! Thank you to all the Gameranx staff for another year of great entertainment and news in the great world of video games.
I know it's been covered in another video, but my favorite mission sequence of all time was in Titanfall 2 with the switches between time basically with a "snap" and the ending of that mission where everything explodes into a frozen time-space as you walk the pathway into, what I can remember (it's been a while) some kind of portal. For its time at least, the whole concept was amazing, and the graphics were just amazing. I wish for a Titanfall 3 on a consistent basis. Even if just a campaign, I'll take it. The campaign was arguably better than the MP anyway IMO, not that the MP was bad at all. Edit: when i first played it I got flashbacks of I believe it was Time Splitters 3, can't remember exactly, but that mission where you played like 6 versions of yourself in one mission, playing each role and then shifting into time to replay a role to basically coop with your past self. That was mind blowing at the time, and I still wish THAT game/series would come back, as a remake or even reboot the series. I loved those games too.
Thank you for acknowledging the Horus. It was truly amazing. Honorable mention to GoWR Valhalla when Kratos conjures the Blade of Olympus. Truly hype shit. I was like "lets gooooooo!!" when I got to control Venom.
The NG+ in Starfield is definitely cool, but I still couldn't really bear to play through it again :/ and getting the different variation¨s of the world would require playing so much of it.
The end of starfield was surprising. Regardless of how you feel about the game but the new game plus I felt was very well done. One of the few things they got right. 😂
I skipped the SM2 and Jedi entries, as I havent played em yet, but that Horizon one was so cool to see. Only played the first game, but its made me wanna pick up the sequel now. Cool AW2 one too, reminds me of Control a lot
MINOR SPOILERS: Outer wilds: the ending and pretty much everything along with it Elden ring: the first time you ride the elevator down to the underground city
The mashup characters you fight in MK1 gave me unwarranted hope for a really cool kustomize option that the game doesn't actually have. What was a real plot twist for me was hearing Johnny Cage say one of his own movies was bad.
I want to wish all my fellow gamers and the entire Gameranx crew the happiest New Year. Best wishes to you all, my friends 🍻
🤝
Cringe. Delete this fake sentiment.
Same to you! Wishing you and all the very best year ever. Cheers
Happy New Years everyone🎉🎉🎉😊
Happy New years to you too my friend!!!! 🎉
My biggest “Holy Sh-t” Moment in gaming this year was realizing you can’t fly to a planet in starfield
Holy shit, so many loading screens
You can. It just takes hours
I feel bad for players who bought it and then sadly got in their ship and realized you can't take off.
That has to suck. Getting pumped to just immerse yourself in space and just flying and you can even properly explore like you want. Hopefully we get a single player game like NMS with a story and RPG mechanics
Even Chorus (2021) does a better job with space combat and exploration.
@@TomDarkwulf87 theoretically, yes you can fly to a planet but you can’t land on it
Fighting Titan made me go "damn this is cool" but fighting Bahamut really made me go "Holy Shit this game is awesome!" Lol the pure spectacle of going into the upper atmosphere to fight was just hella crazy lol
Titan was actually my least favorite fight in the game. But the random of shit were dealing with Bahumat moment was fantastic.

Finding out that “The Ghost of Iki” was Kenji all along really blew my mind and had me burst out laughing
That bastard kenji

It completely takes out of the game for some reason.

I think i'm close to that part with Saga

In Jedi Survivor, the boss fight with Cere made my jaw DROP.
Alan Wake 2's musical section was the best gaming moment in like a decade for me. man i was smiling from ear to ear for the rest of the evening :D
I agtee man. Most memorable gaming moment in the last decade
👍🏼
Meh, so many in BG3 were better in every way. Fight scene with score in house of hope boss fight blows it away.
"No one gets to play as Sam Coe until we find the right hat."
I laughed.
A very happy newyear Falcon, Jake and the whole team!!! Thanks for every video this year!
Happy new year!
happy new year from New Zealand @@gameranxTV
A very happy new year to Falcon, Jake, Boston and everyone at Gameranx. You guys have made my years better for a few years now. Love from India.
The betray songbird quests are awesome in phantom liberty. You first start by shooting your way through Kurt’s forces and even killing him, then you have to hide from a spider robot in order to find her memories. I love the story and if tga had a best dlc this would take the award
I just went thru this today and the robot spider part is tense. Haven’t had DLC that I have enjoyed that much since Witcher 3 and ME2/3.
Coffee and falcon first thing in the morning is the best way to wake up
Same! 😂
Me too, this time I wake up right now after my region's (Philippines) New Years Day 🍷😎
Still crazy it took over a decade to get a Alan Wake sequel
The whole Alan Wake 2 was f*cking awesome (especially with the NG+), I can't wait to play the DLCs ❤. But Star Wars was awesome too, I also liked that game. Happy new year to everyone 🙂. I hope we will get great games in 2024 too.

In Armored Core 6, finding out AllMind had selected Iguazu to pilot the finalized form of all the "arena tester ACs" 621 had to fight through.
DAMN there were some great moments scattered about. Wasn’t a huge fan of the game the first run but damn the finale of the 2nd and entire 3rd were great.

Whole 3rd run was really smartly done.
My favorite thing about sea of stars is how the music and menus change to reflect the new setting as well. It's honestly epic
IBIS from Armored Core 6 was a pretty "oh SH*T" moment
My only gripe is Allen wake should have been number 4 and FF16 number one. Other than that I agree with your list 100%
I would definitely include the Light Dragon in TOTK, once I finished that questline and realized the insane scope of time that had passed after the decision, I just almost felt sick.....like, just fuckin traumatized for a minute, lmao

Great video!

The Ice Worm fight in AC6 really deserves a mention.
Fighting Titan in FF16 left like watching a hyped up dbz fight. It just kept getting crazier and it was great.
What was surprising about Venom was that we got more Mary Jane than venom 😂😂😂
Falcon is the most immaculate and gentlemanly talking bird on youtube
Getting rid of your troops to replace them with demons and cultists or just only to resurrect them as eternally loyal, undead soldiers as a demon/lich respectively in WotR.
Wow, the alternate NG++ for starfield is pretty cool. Too bad only like a handful of people probably actually saw it since the game is so boring you’d have to be a madman or a Bethesda dev to finish it 3 times
Gotta finish it way more than three times for that. The alternate lodge events only have a 15% change to trigger on any given NG+.
that sea of stars one is insane
How is this the first time I'm hearing this about starfield? I know the game isn't their best but changing new game plus is pretty fucking sick
I would add the first time you turn from a HUMAN to a GOD in Asgard’s Wrath II on Quest 3. The perspective shifts so radically from the first person ground level to a God looking over the entire level, it’s incredible. And I love how you can still see your human form so tiny down below. It’s impressive use of VR in the best way.
I haven't played or even looked at any new Spider-Man games until I'm able to play them but damn, Venom looks brutal.
I would have thought Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty would had made the list, but good choices either way.
One thing they could’ve done in Spider Man 2 is the good and Bad ending like they did in Web Of Shadows, plus you get to pick which character to play as like in Transformers FoC
For me, when i finish the Lies of P with true ending and when P plays the piano perfectly i literally said Holy shit 'cause it was so good.
Damn it was a good year, Robocop was the surprise hit for me,FF16 was a return to form/status for Square and solid Indy hits (sea of stars) and new classics (Mario wonders), not even mentioning awesome stuff I didn’t have the time for (Zelda TotK/Baldurs Gate)… what a year.
The Final Fantasy boss foght reminded me of Asura's Wrath. In fact, that makes me want to play it again.
Number 1 could only have been Alan Wake 2, one of the best scenes in all of gaming. Love it.
That’s what I was gonna say. This is my favorite part Ever.
It’d be cool to see you guys do a video similar to this on epic music moments (if haven’t done already). Like that climb in Returnal to get to that boss playing the organ as the music slowly gets louder ad more intense is just 🔥

Should’ve just put FF16 bosses in general tbh
THANK YOU for the Sea of Stars entry! That was so freaking cool!! The other holy crap moment was when Re’Shan was introduced (if you know you know)
Alex Casey, not Sam Casey, but yes, Harold of Darkness is one of my favorite parts in the game!
Titan Lost isn't a "building-sized" monster, he's a Mt. Everest-sized monster. 😁
Final Fantasy 16 made my jaw drop at that reveal of that boss, it was literally attack on titan!! Most fun I had playing that game, it was wild seeing Hugo basically eat senzu beans and gain more power like a freaking Colossal Titan!

I won't miss!
It’s 2:25 AM in Australia rn and this is just what I was looking for cheers Falcon 🦅🤝
Happy New Year! I've still got 7 or so hours to go...
@@drewtheunspoken3988 cheers mate, Happy New Year to you too (for 7 or so hours yet)😂
Jedi survivor, playing as Cere was mind blowing
Wishing Gameranx and every gamer out there a very Happy New Year from the United Kingdom 🥳
Let’s make 2024 a good one!🎉🎉🎉
When I played as Venom I think I j1zzed my pants! 😮😅
The NG+ in Starfield is definitely cool, but I still couldn't really bear to play through it again :/ and getting the different variation¨s of the world would require playing so much of it.
I'd argue Dragon's Dogma did a more interesting take on it too.
Let’s Go Falcon! SQUAAAAACK!
Aye! Thanks for the like fellas! Big fan. Watching and looking forward to yalls videos everyday. I appreciate what y’all do.
13:56 "a building sized monster" lmao
The end of starfield was surprising. Regardless of how you feel about the game but the new game plus I felt was very well done. One of the few things they got right. 😂
Happy new year Gameranx!
As a wrestling fan, "Holy Shit moments" are a normal part of my vernacular. xD
Mk1 Armageddon ending was perfect! 👍🏻
I skipped the SM2 and Jedi entries, as I havent played em yet, but that Horizon one was so cool to see. Only played the first game, but its made me wanna pick up the sequel now. Cool AW2 one too, reminds me of Control a lot
Finding out Atreus's true identity at the end of God of War (2018) was epic af
Nice to see that they had Poets of the Fall perform the song for Alan Wake again.
Poets of the Fall is an amazing band. Worth the listen.
“Some creeps” I’m glad you called them that
MINOR SPOILERS:
Outer wilds: the ending and pretty much everything along with it
Elden ring: the first time you ride the elevator down to the underground city
That Titan Lost beat drop change to industrial rock slaps hard
When i Saw the horus move in the burning shores dlc i had that “i need that right f*cking now” feeling
The mashup characters you fight in MK1 gave me unwarranted hope for a really cool kustomize option that the game doesn't actually have.
What was a real plot twist for me was hearing Johnny Cage say one of his own movies was bad.
It wouldn't be a Falcon episode without a little diss LOL Albeit a very well deserved one
Siofra River well was pretty crazy. it was 2 years ago I know, but still..
Happy new year Gameranx I m looking forward to your content this year
Happy new year folks :))
