#0. Having to be online to play single player games (Looking at you. Gameloft).
+TheEmeraldboy100 Really? That's a thing?! oOo
+Justin Jarrett (Crafter1024) Diablo 3, AC2, a lot of other older Ubisoft games did this too.
Spooky Skeleton Wow. That's just bad... I mean, if I want to play my game, then I should be able to play it whenever. :P
Justin Jarrett Hellbent I totes forgot that Sim City did that too lmao.
Hellbent In terms of diablo 3 its especially bad that Blizz told us it couldn't be changed and then proceeded to change it for the console version...
Blizzard isn't Blizzard anymore, they're just another company that Bobby "IP Killer" Kotick wants to run into the ground :(
I have to say, when the GameCube came out I thought the handle was pointless and stupid. Then Smash Bros. Melee came out, and I carried my GameCube all around the place. That's when I realized the genius of the handle. At the time online gaming for consoles was still not the norm, and many people just brought their consoles over to their friends places. It was a time when console gaming was more similar to board gaming.The reality is the GameCube is the most portable console to date (excluding miniature consoles released years after the original), and the handle is an integral part of it.
+Adam Hollingsworth Exactly, I'm a little upset that he totally just shit on it. People who took their consoles places, this was omni-important.
Darn straight. Since I was the only one at the time with a Gamecube while all my friends went with the PS2 or Xbox, I used that handle all the time. Especially when heading to their house for a sleepover and my backpack was already stuffed about to explode without needing to make room for the Gamecube as well. On a side note, it was also cool how they incorporated the handle into the console's packaging, making it the only console box ever (to my knowledge) that you don't have to practically cradle to carry to the car.
+Adam Hollingsworth I was going to write something like this, you beat me to it! I totally agree with you, exactly what I thought, when he talked about the handle of the GC.
the handle is very awesome. I wish most of systems had handles
***** When your hands are already full, and you don't want to risk dropping your $200 console that you had to buy with help because you don't have an allowance and are too young for a job, the last thing you want to do is drop it on the sidewalk because you don't have a firm part to grip.
64 bits
32 bits
16 bits
8 Bits
4 Bits
2 BITS
1 BIT
HALF BIT
QUARTER BIT
THE WRIST GAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES
ha avgn reference! ;)
"I'd have more fun setting the time on a digital watch."
I love the avgn refrence
+UltimaNylocke Quarter bit? Wouldn't that cause, like, a nuclear explosion or something? Or is that how they make quantum computers? ;)
+UltimaNylocke There is no 64-bit as of colors, Nintendo 64 used that to promote it's 64-bit processor.
Needing to have internet to play a console
+Derikimi I think needing online access to play an offline game is even worse.
+Derikimi Console Pleb Problems
InfinityGhost36
Who said I'm playing console?
+Derikimi its right in the comment lol
+Derikimi anyway I was talking about consoles in general
"My neighbors are 80 and they're loud when they fuck", JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!
Wow Dolan sounds different
Yes I know it's actually Hellbent (Or whats his name ) but it usually says that in the beginning
+SpatsirkSpart I was thinking the same thing. XD
Dolan derped! XD
Probably got a new haircut
Asaryium Yeah Probably
+Asaryium He lost weight
it says HB in the thumbnail
A Innovation Everyone Hates....
Paying For DLC
not really unless its day 1 dlc then yeah but a new campaign with an entire arsenal of weapons etc should definitely cost money atleast if its not day 1, dying light did it right
+MrMarshMallow Borderlands also did it right. Many games did it right, close to all capcom games does it wrong though. 15 dollars for two new characters that is a bad dlc.
Capcon inproved ( or not)
Exactly why Roy isn't my boy
+MrMarshMallow That's what fallout does.
Honorable mention: Video games that ONLY want you to play Multiplayer
(Edit: I think this comment is getting too much controversy, all i meant is that It wasn't really "genious" having videogames that don't give you an Offline Campaign or something, and instead they give you Multiplayer as the only option to play)
like tf2?
+Bad Reference Man You can play tf2 offline and still play multiplayer. Although, you won't have your hats and weapons. There's an offline training mode with bots.
(Titanfall)
Wait, your icon is the medic from TF2...
TF2 only wants you to play multiplayer...
Don't get me wrong TF2 is a great game and all but...
Irony?
DooplissTheNachoThief No, you can play TF2 even on offiline
you can use the GameCube as a weapon.
bitchslapped with a gamecube
And it will still work, even if the person you hit doesn't.
Abram Nokia versus GameCube
SOMEONE CALL THE AMBULANCE! THE XBOX AND PLAYSTATION GOT SEVERELY INJURED!
Look! Here comes the ambulance!
WiiU, WiiU, WiiU, WiiU...!!!!!!!!!!!!
jajajajajajajajajajhajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaj
lmfaooooooooooooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really? Half the things listed in this video seem needlessly whiny. These videos used to be good...
+DuskShadowBrony (LittleShadowGames) Yeah, limited lives enhance the challange
***** Exactly my thoughts. And complaining about typing... in a TEXT based rpg? Really? Text-based RPGs are limited, there's no way somebody can think up of the infinite possibility of responses.
DuskShadowBrony (LittleShadowGames) Other than that, it's like comparing Wolfenstein 3D with modern FPS and saying that Wolfenstein 3D sucks because of graphics and the fact that your health doesn't regenerate automatically after a few seconds, technologies have changed and gameplay type varies.
***** Completely agree
+DuskShadowBrony (LittleShadowGames) The irony.
wait what IS going on in the minecraft community?
+DennisJ (The Last Methbender) - Lots of accounts have been hacked.
assholes hacking, and kids over use the f bomb
+Austinniya Wells Oh. Is it a good thing I didn't know this, because, well, mine hasn't been hacked. :P
Something's wrong with the minecraft community?
+Red Panda Gaming oi it's a good game
Hey listen the handle on the GameCube is the greatest innovation since the Virtual Boy, your opinion is wrong.
+D4nkfury please telling me you're joking
+D4nkfury I know dood VRBOY was good but the R zone is better am I right?
Obvi not Oculus Rift is a ripoff of Virtual Boy
***** how can someones OPINION be wrong? unless you have facts
+D4nkfury The handle was a good idea actually. It's pretty good for beating my friends' heads in when they hit me with a blue shell on Double Dash.
I loved the handle on the Game Cube! It's not really an innovation, it was more like a simple convenience added.
It's Danger Dolan's American cousin, Hazard Holan.
cant wait for someone to beat Dark Souls using each of these
+5persondude try doing it with the piss controler
+5persondude Beating Dark Souls with the GameCube handle? Is that possible?
+Ian Macdonald yes
+Ian Macdonald Not with that attitude.
+Ian Macdonald "beating dark souls" You could easily beat dark souls with a gamecube handle...you just won't have a game afterwards
Why always the hate for hellbent, he is funny as and a great voiceover!
People like to hate because they have no friends and hope to get popular by been a wanker to society
+Travis J Because people seem to be really sensitive to change, and any change to them is a bad change.
Me, personally, I like Hellbent, but I hope he doesen't take over the channel.
as someone who often carried his gamecube to friends i found myself having games and cables in a bag in one hand and the gamecube in the other. that way i was always sure that nothing happened to it- it felt great.
15: Yup, Agree
14: Disagree. Adds a challenge, I guess.
13: I LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEE Escort Missions, but most people hate them so I understand.
12: ... why Nintendo.
11: Agreed.
10: Yeah.
9: w-w-, What?
8: Hated those
7:Just going to skip this one
6: These exist?
5:THIS exists!?
4: Take 6 and 5 together and times it by 10.
3: Really weird.
2: Agree.
1: Yeah, Pretty dumb
#3 isn't weird at all. Those types of games were actually some of the earliest games to exist, and it actually worked as often as not. Hellbent is just whining. I'm making another response direct to Mr. Bent to go into more detail.
EdmondDantes224 Wait, why did I say weird? I must have been mixing up numbers, I kinda like those type of games.
#1 can be slipped in for the Achievements for sure. Definitely for Saints Rows 3 and 4 given the Play game for 30-40 hours respectively and the Gender Equality Achievements
Set it up, leave game on, TV off, go to sleep, wake up, BOOM! Achievement unlocked
who cares
Jean-Claude Marra dude it's just his opinion, calm down
The Virtual Boy was a great idea, but had poor execution. The Nintendo 3DS had better execution, and the New Nintendo 3DS has made it better.
yeah but with the 3ds i can never tell if 3d us on or off like theres no different
James Gordon There is a slider. And try looking at it from a different angle.
Yeah i use it and it just looks 3d like on the ds nothings ever different looking with the 3d
Maybe your eyes have difficulty perceiving 3D. A fairly high percentage of the population (can't remember the number) have very poor depth perception, so "3D" in games or movies barely looks different.
But i normally see shit in 3d really helps with movies like ive completed everything in 3d land the flag poles star coins special worlds and everything
markiplier would easily win the screaming game since he yells gibberish at games normaly
+Jake and the Diamonds good entertainers do all the time. although i dont like him at all
Fucking dunkey
jakieboy will also be good
No Dashie would definitely win hands down
Damon SkillPointz don't know who that is
game by screaming, sound like the avgn has a new toy
+Joe Baumgart Don't forget about Pew Die Pie, and other people who scream into their mics constantly.
+Joe Baumgart
Jacksepticeye would rock that shit LIKE A BOSS!
FUCK THIS SHIT I'M OUT! *Console turning off*
+Joe Baumgart FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE... FUCK! FUCK! FUCKFIRE!
at top of lungs"MOVE LEFT"
"I DEMAND A PLATINUM TROPHY FOR SKIPPING WORK!"
At least Until Dawn played the "don't use your controller" aspect well, it only lasts a few seconds rather than minutes or hours, it's essentially the character having to stand still to avoid drawing attention.
The handle was good for transporting the GameCube around. I used to have a friend who was almost elusively a Playstation fanboy, but loved Wind Waker, Smash, and Rogue Squadron, so I would regularly go to his house with my GameCube, carrying it by the handle.
+Zero Fighter Agreed! I used to carry it across town between my parents houses when i was a kid. Half the stuff on this list just seems like bitching and ignorance to me :/
The Last Of Us is a fantastic escort mission.
Chris Wolf lol true
Seeing comments from 8 years ago is a bummer.
I miss this channel.
I'm there with you. Decided to come back and visit the time capsule.
#1 happens every time there's a cutscene.
"Where's my platinum trophy for skipping work?"
You know i'd love to have that achievement in my life.
Totally agree regarding escort missions. They are nothing but misery. The missions on Goldeneye, where you had to drag Natalya all over the friggin' place were absolute torture. (Especially when you're against the clock, trying to unlock a cheat).
I think you forget how big the game rental industry was in the 80s and 90s, or you weren't alive then and are digitally adjusting your voice to sound older. Lives and game overs were a portion of the difficulty that was designed to lengthen the game experience to ensure games couldn't be beaten with a rental, thus encouraging(forcing) the player to buy the game.
On the NES there wasn't much room to make a game that lasted longer than a few hours unless the experience was largely slowed down like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, and even though could conceivably be beaten in a weekend.
The concept of lives was also a way to force the player to take risks for a future reward. If you look at Megaman or Megaman 2, the lives were always out of the way on the more difficult path, but gathering them on the earlier stages made you better prepared when the game became more difficult. In Super Mario Brothers, 1UP mushrooms were also hidden were another way to reward the player for taking risks too, since they would often run away from the player into extreme danger (see world 8-2 as an example).
In short, you don't know what you're talking about. Lives when done correctly are a useful mechanic.
Wow, only made it a minute and a half in before a really long rant. I hope you don't have any more stupidity that needs a breakdown like this.
And then you had to say something about text based adventures. What are you 19? Do you know what a MUD is? Do you know why text based adventures were created? Did you know some of the most claimed developers of early PC games got their start making text adventures?
You really are the most ignorant tuber I've heard in a while. You need to gain some perspective. In 1980, when text adventures became largely popular, there wasn't a good method for making games without having extensive knowledge of computer programming, a skill which was very difficult to learn as there were few people who taught the skill and the internet was still a baby.
People made text adventures to create games before operating systems, before C+, before Windows. You act like this stuff was made five years ago. Philistine.
Don't touch your controller is so common in super Mario maker.
Mikey Simon It's also a requirement to gain access to one of the areas (which leads to a boss fight & subsequent "My Sanctuary" location) in EarthBound for the Super Nintendo.
"If the population doubles, every ones getting laid!" Lol why I love this channel
#5: "I love the Glove Controller! It's so bad!"
Nintendo already tried this sort of thing two generations prior. You know what it was? The Power Glove!
The reason Super Mario Bros. has ''lives'' was due to the fact that many of the early NES titles WERE coin-ops (including SMB). That was abandoned as games were developed specifically for home play.
"just look at the minecraft community" someone has been watching keemstar
+211mariofan Eww.
+DeadpoolGamingTV you're right.
Minecraft community is filled with nothing but child hunting pedophiles. You don't need to watch Keemstar to know that.
the voice acting on this channel is terrible but the lists are normally entertaining
Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! My device isn't compatible with twitch! Someone please tell me what happens.
This isn't voice acting, this is voice over.
I quite like Hellbents voice. He seems interested in what he's talking about.
+alex cummins What?
Reverendshot777 danger dolan is live streaming right now, and I need twitch to watch it. So...tell me what happens!!!
+alex cummins but... we're not watching it. This is RUclips...lol.
That one-handed N64 controller looks like it'd be fantastic for disabled gamers.
Fun Fact:
Nintendo has filed a patent for a "Pulse Sensor" on a new controller they're working on which could possibly mean the NX might have a Vitality sensor built into the controller.
If that's the case then I hope they release a Horror Exclusive game for the NX that is capable of using that feature or heck, maybe even Call of Duty during those tense gunfight moments.
One of the best escort missions I have ever done was Bioshock Infinite. Elizabeth can take of herself and you simultaneously, throwing health pickups, ammo, weapons, creating tears, and most importantly being considered a non-combatant by all hostile NPCs.
I don't agree with #3. That was from a different time :L That's like saying Pong is a bad game because it has bad graphics :L
+Based-God Will Smith Exactly, and just because some may not like it, does not mean all will not. I actually recently got myself DOSbox and a copy of Zork and went for nostalgia. My roommate a month before then asked me if text based games still were around since he remembered playing them.
Really though, back in the day when operating a computer consisted of typing stuff like "cd d:\Files\wordstar\documents\" then having to open with something like "text essay3.wsd"
+Based-God Will Smith Plus, the games from Infocom included manuals that gave examples of what to type.
This kinda killed the list for me. It kinda feels like someone was out of ideas and only had a few items so padded it with things that sound like something a spoiled brat might say. ...or someone out of touch with how games developed over the years.
Yeah, and I played them actually as a kid in early 2000's, never saw a manual, but after some trying, I quickly figured out how to type commands for games like Zork.
Was it pitch black? Sounds like you are likely to be eaten by a grue.
ajs1031 I was making a reference to the famous line, as seen when you go into the dark attic at the start of Zork.
The GameCube handle was the best thing about the GameCube itself.
+Nuclearxpotato I felt Mario Sunshine, Smash Bros. Melee, Animal Crossing and Burnout 2 were the best things about the GameCube.
+Russell Brown hhmmm... nah.
+Russell Brown I said the GameCube itself, not the games.
+Nuclearxpotato erm... what? lol no it wasnt xD
The controller was probably the best thing unless you're ONLY talking about the console itself.
He talks like there's something in his throat
+Shia LaBeouf I hate his voice so much, it feels way too forced.
+Daniël Zondervan A voice can't feel forced.
M'ilk drinker
That's how some people talk though. I have a friend who talks like this.
+Daniël Zondervan The helled you click on the video then it has his logo in the fucking thumbnail.
Good Escort Mission
Bioshock Infinite: Elisabeth gives you various items and gameplay mechanics, plus you don't have to restart if there is an issue with her because there is no health bar on her at all.
Metro: Last Light has an achievement for standing for like ten minutes in the general area of the stage until the show is over
2:31 HOW DID HE OPEN THAT UP
yea
it's not a real gamecube it's just a box i think
Derp Seal and he didn't open it it's just a pic
ok
Stratic Fox Gaming
text adventures were awesome, how dare you?
Hey! Text based adventure games were fantastic. Have you ever played Zork? Or maybe you just have a dull imagination.
3:51 "Hey Niko! Wanna go bowling?"
#3: You Can't Get Ye Flask.
#1: see the Auto Mario levels.
sorry, but what's going on at the Minecraft community?
Too many fucking annoying kids. That's why I don't play it.
It's a fun game, but the morons called kids ruined it for people
+Fluttershy that's what single player is for. Sick of the damn kids all over it
+Trevgauntlet There are paedophiles, who prey on kids via minecraft. It's truly sickening.
+Fluttershy they ruin the entire game (just like in cod)
*hears binding of isaac* BE MY FRIEEEEND
Binding of issac
+LizardSlayer974 Was that an attempt at correcting spelling? O.o Because it was correct to begin with...
+Zayne Von-Kai Or lizard want stefan to hear the words Binding of issac in hope of getting a new friend.
pappaOfswe Possibly, but they spelled Isaac wrong, and said nothing more than that, thus I'm unsure of that being the reason... It looks like an attempt at grammar correction from a far.
Zayne Von-Kai Yeah but it's not a correction, more like copy paste. But who knows bigger fails has happened
I actually own a Virtual Boy and to be fair it is pretty neat. Especially for a collector's item.
I honestly never even acknowledged the Gamecube handle at all, didn't even realize it existed. Even when I was using it to carry it over my buddy's house to play multiplayer. Just seemed like a normal attachment I didn't think mattered enough to remember. Thinking about it now, it was pretty useful for me in those days.
I'm not watching this several hours after it went up.According to the date this video was made,I'm watching it several YEARS later!
Damn. That voice hurts my speakers. And my ears.
Lol i slept till noon today
Lazy devil 👍
+Mad Martian Industries heres your medal?
+Mad Martian Industries ja sam tvoj izgubljeni ujak
y u forget the POWER GLOVE
Why do people sycophantically praise a guy who makes a living showing us dumb lists we've seen a thousand times elsewhere whilst simultaneously tearing into his voice actor? Incredible how people are so petty as to go into an incensed rage over someone's voice but apparently don't care in the slightest how dumb it is they're giving ad revenue to someone who's got it so easy.
I've never seen an escort mission done right. When they finally make one with good AI and a character that's actually emotionally attaching then I will immediately buy that game.
"limited lives in console games" sounds like someone needs to get good
#6 So basically games made for Pewdiepie/Pewdiepie wannabes?
any lets player ever
I honestly wouldn't mind Nintendo taking over the world
ICO was basically one long escort mission, but I agree that those missions aren't usually a concept but more of a nuissance in game design.
can we have an extra danger dolan channel which doesn't have hellbent narration videos?

The guy narrating this video sounds like he is trying too hard to have a radio voice.
2:42 Durable until your nephew drags it up and down a flight of stairs by the controller. Damn thing never read a disc again.
"I DEMAND a Platinum Trophy for Skipping work"
It’s interesting that Hellbent is narrating but it’s Dolan voice saying the numbers
Well, for number 13, I think the only escort mission done right was in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault: Spearhead, where the captured truck had a very clear pattern (staying on the road), and the enemies were mostly fixiated on You, allowing You to just focus on killing German soldiers. Doesn't change the fact it's still pretty difficult, even on Easy.
Honestly? #4 included some of my favorite games when I was a kid. The issue you complained about was only really an issue if the game was badly designed. Infocom usually did a good job of keeping things intuitive(and having in-game HELP commands for things that weren't)
takeshi's castle had a video game. i thought it was just an 80's japanese show that americans brought overseas dubbed over and changed the whole script of and renamed MXC...yes folks to those that dont know MXC (most extreme elimination challenge) were dubbed over takeshi castle episodes. and MXC's script is nothing like the original
Typing in IF games was AMAZING....because going through all the possibilities usually led to swearing, which then led to humorous responses.
In Wing Commander 3 you get the joy of defending ships against cloaked cruise missiles.
Wing Commander Saga tosses some complete absurdity into the game's escort missions. You get to experience the joy of defending a transport against a heavy frigate while flying a light fighter armed with peashooters
The Gamecube's handle is very useful, since the form factor of the console is - obviously - a cube, so it's hard to pick up with one hand.
But I agree, Nintendo should have included a DVD player. :J
I actually like the handle on the GameCube because I often have to carry it from my bedroom to the living room so I can play Mario party with my family and honestly it looks better with one
3:14 64 bits, 32 bits, 16bits, 8 BITS, 4 BITS, 2 BITS, 1 BIT, 1/2 BIT, 1/4 BIT, THE WRIST GAME!!!
ICO was a good escort mission...
And my worst experience with #1 was Wario Land 2... This was before GFaqs was a big thing, so I sat there for WEEKS trying to find that one final secret exit in the first level... I was going nuts... and then I had to put my GB down for a few minutes, and left Wario to sleep, came back and I was in the secret level... I was like WTF!!!!
I actually like the GameCube handle, it was useful for carrying a console to your friends house.
How dare you insult the GameCube handle! It wouldn't be the same without it
"It's hard to find a good escort mission"
Fox: Say what you want about cut content and how many people you kill. Bioshock Infinite has a great escort missio, because Elizabeth is freaking awesome.
( Though I would like the infinite that was promised but I'm sure in a alternate dimension it has come out.)
+9-BitFox The fuck is a missio
+Indolin 77 Fox: Well you see a missio is when someone types very fast on their phone and don't double check there spelling. Thus Mission turns to missio. I hope this answers your question. hun
Intresting you used Ashley from RE4 as your first image for escort missions. Ashley is probably the best you'll come across.
I hate escort missions as much as the next guy but Ashley really isn't that bad.
Limited lives adds a sense of fear that would otherwise be missing. Yes, it often times makes you just want to put the game down and never return, but if you can last through it you'll have moments where you experience heightened reflexes caused by a real sense of fear. That type of thing has its place and is fun to experience.
It's only a fear of losing progress, though, not of the actual dying.
This is a comfort video for me. Reminds me of simpler times that I miss.
4:45 I like how the figure you cite is merely a factor of 2 when it's about a factor of 500,000
Per #12: Why not let your kids play outside with electronics that cost hundreds of dollars? Parents let kids of all ages play with Mommy and Daddy's cell phones, then wonder why Jimmy or Sally throw it in the toilet.
The piss controller is a genius innovation. That shit is the best surprise when you go to use the bathroom at a bar.
I agreed with the whole list, with one exception. Bioshock Infinite has you escorting Elizabeth, but you don't have to protect her, and she even finds you ammo, health, cash, etc, to make fights easier. I'd say that's one example of an escort mission done right.
I remember when I first played EarthBound, it told me to walk up to a waterfall, and stand still for five minutes.
This was enough time for me to go downstairs and have a snack.
Pretty sure Virtual Boy is why I went from no glasses, to -3.5 in each eye in 1 year as a kid.
I'm making a game design, and one of the optional modes for the game is an escort mission.
Thankfully, the thing you're escorting is a giant spider-tank that fires missiles, has a minigun, destroys incoming projectiles and has an instant-death crush attack. And a metric butt-ton of health.
My dad has the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text only game and I really enjoy it! I do agree, though, it is really annoying when the game doesn't accept the words I try to use.
I actually once worked on a game which had a part where you had to do nothing to succeed. Then again you only had to do nothing for like 30 seconds and the game did drop hints that what you need to do is put down your controller and do nothing for 30 seconds.
+Artiex Alatumfox That's awesome!!
+Yella Dart then your friend put the controller down, pick up a pen and paper and start writing the hints and thinking "what does this mean?"
Achievement Unlocke-- What?
Escort missions work a lot better when in an open enviroment where you can always see the bad guys coming (see: Wing Commander, Freespace).
Most of these on the list could be decent if done properly. Ofcourse if they were done properly the majority of the time they won't be on this list...
oh geez those "hold still for a few seconds" puzzles how why
Those Tiger watches shared nothing in common with their counterparts, aside from licensing agreements LOL
this is why I stick to my comfort zone of gaming, because I get to not experience the flaws. The only bad thing is that I also get to miss the good stuff that comes from learning. I still don't like online play, though.
*Talks about Tiger LCD games.
*Shows a Nintendo Game & Watch.
I like how there are different voices for different countdowns, this voice is very funny to me :)
