Gotta hand it to the original coders of The Bard's Tale (PS2) If you smash all the barrels in first town, you'll eventually meet a NPC who was the one to make the barrels in the first place, so he asks you to "Drum up trade" by destroying as many as you can find ! Only game I know of where breaking barrels actually gained you a quest lol
If I remember well, you could also summon rats in front of a tavern, so that you could offer the tavern owner to get rid of it for them. I know one of the game opened with that as a cutscene, but the fact that you could do it again in another town, and it still worked was a great surprise.
After enough time with souls games you gain 2 new lines of thinking with loot. 1 hit the chest it could be a mimic, 2 check every corner with the camera when walking into any room that looks too empty.
#1 was the instinct until, I believe DS2, you were capable of just destroying real chests and then being left with nothing lol. Had to find other ways to tell if it was a mimic
I've always just looked at the chain. If you can't see the chain clearly, wait and see if it's breathing. Tho with enough playthroughs you just remember which is a mimic and which isn't, unfortunately. It would be fun if NG+ and beyond mixed them up
In Mass Effect 3, you can shoot the starchild and get a whole different ending. It's an especially brutal ending, too, although there's a slightly bittersweet bit to it.
No other enemy in the game works like this except for one, so I spent the whole game shooting everyone and soon as I shoot this little asshole the galaxy is doomed.
this was the first ending I got, and so in line with the FemShep I had created and played through three games, that it's my head-canonical ending. Tho I did replay it once to get the gives-up-self-to-become-reaper-queen, as that was pretty close, too.
Even the VR version of RE4 accounts for the tower. It doesn't collapse on you, but if you spend more than about 10-15 seconds up there, they start lobbing dynamite up there with you. If you're lucky, standing in an opposite corner might save you a couple times, but one WILL eventually wipe you out if you try to stay. Just not a viable strategy. P.S.: If you haven't played the VR version, it's fantastic. Honestly recommend it easily as much as I recommend the remake. They nailed it in so many ways.
The threatening flinch also happens when you press the counter option instead is the melee button. Even the first time. It's incredible that they even bothered with different options.
Dont forget the "I swear, I did it by mistake!" achievement when you look up Juliete's skirt in Lollipop Chainsaw. The devs knew and they were ready to slap the player with an achievement that would post to their game feed!
I won't call it foresight as most of them are gamers and they know what other gamers would try to do. So, they just implement the stuff that they would probably be doing themselves.
Another instance in GoW Ragnarok where they acknowledged the looting that I remember was when (I think it was) Heimdall said to Atreus “sure! Just break your way into Asgard and start taking our shit! That’s cool…”
Huh? When does this happen? It’s been awhile since I played it…but from what I remember the only time you’re moving/interacting with Heimdall is during cut scenes and when you meet/walk with him to Odin’s spot…before he makes you fight…and I don’t remember there being anything you can loot since it’s basically a cutscene…all you can do is walk with him. So yeah, when do you even get the opportunity to loot stuff with him nearby??
I loved the loot comment! I think it happens a few times in other situations but nothing like the my dad just likes loot. Epic stuff right there bc after 2 games you really feel the relationship between the 3
Definitely the floor falling out on LOP is a good one, I'm on ng+ and have fallen for the same damn trick now twice! I also would include how Elden Ring puts that ridiculously difficult sentinel right at the beginning of the game knowing that people would go over there spend the next few runs (or hours) being ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED over and over again.
The most devious way a dev perfectly predicted what I would do was in MGS4. Me forgetting a number in real life meant that Snake forgot the number too! And it was actually part of the story! It's not technically an instinct but I still think it counts.
I’ll piggy back off that and say screaming mantis cause kojima knew we’d try changing the controller to player 2 to beat her like psycho mantis then had meta commentary on it in game about how it wouldn’t work

In Borderlands 3, the first time you meet Tannis, she takes the vault key into her office/research shack thing to charge it with some kind of machine she's got(actually she's just getting inside to charge it so you won't find out she's got siren powers). Anyway, she tells you that while she's doing that, you stay outside and "loot anything not nailed down". Which, like. It's a Borderlands game. You're doing that anyway.
The baiting with items thing is an oldskool tradition. You'd see a 1-up on a ledge or something and think you could make it with a crazy good jump but nope. It was a red herring. I'll also remember the stealth sewers in Chrono Trigger, where you see a save point but the chime that plays when you walk on the save point alerts enemies. It got me so good I laughed till I stopped.
Tales of Destiny has something like this too. If you manage to beat Leon the first time you encounter him, the game gives you an early ending. This is mainly meant for a NG+ run, but you can do it on the first run of the game using cheats (or you know, being good at the game.)
Special dialogue in TotK is an understatement. There is special dialogue for EVERYTHING in that game! If it's day, night, raining, snowing, different locations, different clothes, no clothes, certain fusions you have equipped. And it goes beyond dialogue, too. If you threaten people, they'll run away and you can herd them around.
What about Nier Automata? A game that had 21 joke endings for doing stupid or "unexpected" things. Like running away from a boss fight or self destructing on the space station.
In High on Life. If you continue down the bridge and speak to the woman at the booth you'll learn that the "kid" you killed, is 30 years old. I felt so guilty initially 😂
@@pauperslament3467 wild, a thought that has never once been considered before, and not to mention a thought that can't easily be countered: uh, you're supposed to be immersed well enough in the game that, for the moment, you ought to end up having what are called "feelings"?
for Baldur's Gate 3 it's not just the netherstones. there are a lot of instances when you think there is no way Larian have thought of this. But they have!

The Stanley Parable could fill this whole list. For example, number 4 is similar to what happens when you put the right code on the boss's office's safe before the narrator tells you.
In Kid Icarus Uprising the normal "don't advance the maon story, get loot first" mentatlity results in you falling into a trap foor which is actually the right path, you can double back later to get the treasure chest you were baited with.
Fun part about the High on Life bit is if you don't shoot the kid, you run into his mom who starts going on and on about how much she hates her kid... Also my pick: Destiny 2's anniversary dungeon, where they called back to the D1 loot cave in the EDZ by making it into an entire dungeon! Awesome fan service.
@@gameranxTV THE FUCK DO YOU RESPOND TO SHIT CONSTANTLY WITH FUCKING EMOJIS AND SHIT WHEN I'VE BEEN ASKING ON EVERY SINGLE FUCKING VIDEO YOU DROP FOR THE LAST 2 FUCKING YEARS WHAT THE SONG YOU USE CONSTANTLY IS TO FUCKING SILENCE EVERY SINGLE TIME????/
If you shoot the kid, you also run into the mom, where she kind of gives you conflicting messages abt killing her son. "oh someone finally did it. He definitely desereved it, I hated the kid. But he was also my kid. I can't believe he's gone. Please leave me to grieve." Or something along those lines.
i still think the best part about that moment is that kenny doesnt actually LET you shoot him right away lol u gotta try a few times and hear him ripping on u for trying to
That chort that they had spawn in the first town to stop people from farming cow hides was hilarious to me. Also there was the note in the pang of conscience sword chest in Kaer Morhen that acknowledged the glitch.
I like how god of war breaks the 4th wall witht the loot you mention in the video also when Atreus asks kratos so are we heading there(main quest) or are we going to do other things(side quests) it's cool because other games never mention it, characters just stay quiet all the time until cutscenes

If you guys do a part two to this list, you should add in Outer Wilds. That entire game abuses my ingrained instincts from playing games in order to hide away all of its mechanics.

@@deus0rcinus889lately I’ve been listening to Uncharted 4 and Assassin’s Creed black flag which are both a lot of fun! The last of us is up there too! Probably those 3 if I had to choose favorites. How about you?
#3 reminds me of this one part from The Suffering. There's a shallow pit in a cave you see that has a bunch of ammo and health items. The minute you jump in to grab them you hear the voice of Hermes Haight (the gas ghost character) saying "People are so predictable..." and then the pit starts filling with toxic fumes. I had to laugh, it was such a great set up I couldn't get mad.
Dragon's Dogma has something similar to number 3. Some of the chests you are trying to loot contain an evil monster(leapworm) that will instantly eat you.
Dragon's Dogma does do one where you can make forgeries of some quest items and give those to people instead..... And then actually have it change something. I only did it twice: the first was PERFECT game writing, the second backfired on me lol. A fantastic game all around
adding on to the Arkham Knight one: the first time you do it you actually slam the guy's head into the bars of the cage, the animation of Batman raising his fist at the jerk is only for subsequent visits
The guy in the gcpd is one of the best NPC's ever slamming him against the bar is funny but making him flinch always cracks me up easily one of the best video game moments ever, even though its a small one
"There goes our E for Everyone rating!" Okay, that was funny. I've been avoiding High on Life because of the justin roiland crimes and because idk if I could listen to him for hours on end, but that line was genuinely hilarious, really took me by surprise.
Arkngthamz, you need to understand one thing. Back in those times vowels were in short supply and the extra vowels got looted from its name. It's pretty sad really, such a long name with only two As. That time was called 'The Great Vowel Movement'
So when I mod Skyrim, one of the Mods I download is Pouches and backpacks, and then I enchant all of them plus rings with added cary weight enchantments... Because I need to be carrying around with me many times my unaugmented weight allowance... As for the Exploits and money exploits, Bethesda just patched out getting to the vendor chests under the map... including the vendor chest in the mud puddle.
A mod I use in Skyrim includes the first item I get and put on: a cheatcarryweight ring that boosts my carry ability into the thousands. Because I am going to pick up whatever the fudge I want, especially all the smithing materials which I buy out every time I hit town. My love of collecting ore to make into armor is not going to stop me from moving. 😅
Well, I've missed rare items because I skipped out on picking them up. Now I've decided to rectify it. It helps me check out, mentally, on an area when I get through it to know it's fully explored.
10:00 I've been playing Final Fantasy XV the past week, and they do this in a couple of dungeons. Sure, most shiny item spots also _just so happen_ to be in rooms where a bunch of enemies spawn before you can grab the loot, but I mean actual tricks. In three different areas, the blue shinies are in rooms that almost immediately collapse upon entering, with the ceiling dealing a fair amount of damage if you don't dodge back in time. You can't get the item, by the way-it's completely crushed/hidden by the ceiling's rubble. And then there are the bridges that collapse, forever preventing you from grabbing an item. It makes me wonder what items they put in these unobtainable spots. Was it some basic vendor trash, just to get the blue dot on the field, or did they jokingly put in high value loot just to further troll anyone who digs into the code?
Another one from Skyrim, when you get the Dremora Butler power from the Dragonborn DLC (One of the Black Books), when he spawns in he can randomly say: Do You have any more cups and plates for me to carry?
I didn't get the armor only cause it's not worth it, so I only got encouraging words of taking her bow and stuff. Fun thing someone out there has that "gaming instinct" 😂
3:00 In my copies of the game both on gamecube back in the day, and then the steam release, not the current remake, I could never just wait there. They always climbed up after me or launched explosives at me to drive me out.
I feel like this whole video is about Lies Of P because you can tell the Devs behind it are hardcore gamers they must have with all these shortcuts all the rewards you get after a hard encounter it's like they're talking to my soul with this game lol
Ah man, you already mentioned Max Payne 2 but not the best Moment for this video. When you're close to the end of the game, you are having a hard time in the mansion with lots of enemies behind every door and painkillers being scarce. So you jump into every room guns blazing. But there is one room filled with mannequins with guns in their hands but having gas tanks as their heads. I really fell for that by diving into the room and blasting my shotgun at the next best guy near the door and boom.
That was my first WTF LOL moment while playing High on Life. The game backtracked, though, and made that kid alien's mom say he was actually 30 something years old but still, it was satisfying to shoot him after he was really being annoying by pushing you while you shoot at some enemies.
It's funny because in the Witcher 3 I never did the exploits that they talked about but I did a completely different one. If you don't take everything from a monster nest, it doesn't register as completed... So you take everything except for something that doesn't cost very much and then you just come back to it, Great for collecting runes and money
about #1, in Fallout 3 (or NV, I don't remember), there's a quest inside some old bunker with a secret room stashed with lots of gold bars and you must escape the bunker before it explodes, but gold bars are heavy, so basically Bethesda test you to see what you choose life or wealthy.
With Number 7, you can also instead of hitting the strike button hit the counter button and Batman will reach through the bars and smack the dude's head into the bars, knocking him out
Gotta hand it to the original coders of The Bard's Tale (PS2)
If you smash all the barrels in first town, you'll eventually meet a NPC who was the one to make the barrels in the first place, so he asks you to "Drum up trade" by destroying as many as you can find !

I love The Bard's Tale. It's also available to do in the remaster The Bard's Tale: Remastered and Resnarkled which you can play on PS4 and PS5.
If I remember well, you could also summon rats in front of a tavern, so that you could offer the tavern owner to get rid of it for them.

In Mass Effect 3, you can shoot the starchild and get a whole different ending. It's an especially brutal ending, too, although there's a slightly bittersweet bit to it.
It is worth mentioning that this feature was implemented in the Extended Cut. So if people tried it prior to that dlc, it did nothing.
No other enemy in the game works like this except for one, so I spent the whole game shooting everyone and soon as I shoot this little asshole the galaxy is doomed.
"So be it! The cycle continues." will never forget the jump scare the kid gave me for shooting him pointlessly.😅

The guy in the gcpd is one of the best NPC's ever slamming him against the bar is funny but making him flinch always cracks me up easily one of the best video game moments ever, even though its a small one
"There goes our E for everybody"
I need to play this game if this is the level of comedy
"There goes our E for Everyone rating!" Okay, that was funny. I've been avoiding High on Life because of the justin roiland crimes and because idk if I could listen to him for hours on end, but that line was genuinely hilarious, really took me by surprise.
That last one was HILARIOUS 😂 😂
Arkngthamz, you need to understand one thing. Back in those times vowels were in short supply and the extra vowels got looted from its name. It's pretty sad really, such a long name with only two As. That time was called 'The Great Vowel Movement'
So when I mod Skyrim, one of the Mods I download is Pouches and backpacks, and then I enchant all of them plus rings with added cary weight enchantments... Because I need to be carrying around with me many times my unaugmented weight allowance...
As for the Exploits and money exploits, Bethesda just patched out getting to the vendor chests under the map... including the vendor chest in the mud puddle.
A mod I use in Skyrim includes the first item I get and put on: a cheatcarryweight ring that boosts my carry ability into the thousands. Because I am going to pick up whatever the fudge I want, especially all the smithing materials which I buy out every time I hit town. My love of collecting ore to make into armor is not going to stop me from moving. 😅

Best thing I've heard. Thanks :)

I actually fell for that final loot bait trap in Lies of P. Even called myself out for falling for such an obvious trap. LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣
XD That opening setup killed me.
Dark Souls. The chest in Firelink Shrine will have important items spawn in it cause the devs knew we'd throw shit away.
Well, I've missed rare items because I skipped out on picking them up. Now I've decided to rectify it. It helps me check out, mentally, on an area when I get through it to know it's fully explored.
There's another animation in arkham knight that makes batman B O N K his head on the bars, I loved it 😂😂😂
Can't get past even number 10 without laughing at that dungeon name, and the way he says it. LOL
Your partner in Disco Elysium will call you out for "running everywhere" and "collecting everything like a post apocalyptic squirrel"
"Hug the walls and pick up everything that isn't nailed down."
Those are my house words.
My favorite mod in Skyrim is a giant museum to house all my loot,
this is accurate.
10:00 I've been playing Final Fantasy XV the past week, and they do this in a couple of dungeons. Sure, most shiny item spots also _just so happen_ to be in rooms where a bunch of enemies spawn before you can grab the loot, but I mean actual tricks.
In three different areas, the blue shinies are in rooms that almost immediately collapse upon entering, with the ceiling dealing a fair amount of damage if you don't dodge back in time. You can't get the item, by the way-it's completely crushed/hidden by the ceiling's rubble. And then there are the bridges that collapse, forever preventing you from grabbing an item. It makes me wonder what items they put in these unobtainable spots. Was it some basic vendor trash, just to get the blue dot on the field, or did they jokingly put in high value loot just to further troll anyone who digs into the code?
Yes anytime Skyrim is brought up it makes me happy ☺️
👍🏼
10:28 brilliant 😄 that kind of writing keeps so many of us coming back.
Gameranx with the HARDEST intro of all time fr 🔥
Another one from Skyrim, when you get the Dremora Butler power from the Dragonborn DLC (One of the Black Books), when he spawns in he can randomly say: Do You have any more cups and plates for me to carry?
That intro was the poetic writing that only the ingenious mind of gamer could produce. May the Dew be with Yew
I didn't get the armor only cause it's not worth it, so I only got encouraging words of taking her bow and stuff. Fun thing someone out there has that "gaming instinct" 😂
👍🏼
3:00 In my copies of the game both on gamecube back in the day, and then the steam release, not the current remake, I could never just wait there. They always climbed up after me or launched explosives at me to drive me out.
I dont think they appereciate you well enough in gameranx falcon. Your sense of humor and the way you get how most of gamers feel is awesome.
that resident evil one is a great "fuck you, no fuck you" moment 😂
LOL on the 'the armor is worth 50 gold so im taking it' hahhahahaha
0:27 For some reason this kept me laughing for about a minute on how true it is XD
6:40 thats hilarious. I never used an exploit but still triggered this quest back in the days lmao
I expected to see the option to stay the night with Selina in the batman telltale series game crack this list
I feel like this whole video is about Lies Of P because you can tell the Devs behind it are hardcore gamers they must have with all these shortcuts all the rewards you get after a hard encounter it's like they're talking to my soul with this game lol
TotK crucifying the Koroks Madmax style😂
You forgot the OG of all traps, Falcon. The mimic chest. Lol it was the very first loot trap can't count how many times I've fallen for it.
Ah man, you already mentioned Max Payne 2 but not the best Moment for this video. When you're close to the end of the game, you are having a hard time in the mansion with lots of enemies behind every door and painkillers being scarce. So you jump into every room guns blazing. But there is one room filled with mannequins with guns in their hands but having gas tanks as their heads.
I really fell for that by diving into the room and blasting my shotgun at the next best guy near the door and boom.
Falcon is getting and getting funnier . Nice vids . More please
The bell tower floor collapsing in RE4 remake scared the hell out of me. Then i laughed about it cause i knew they thought of it for that exact reason
That was my first WTF LOL moment while playing High on Life. The game backtracked, though, and made that kid alien's mom say he was actually 30 something years old but still, it was satisfying to shoot him after he was really being annoying by pushing you while you shoot at some enemies.
It's funny because in the Witcher 3 I never did the exploits that they talked about but I did a completely different one. If you don't take everything from a monster nest, it doesn't register as completed... So you take everything except for something that doesn't cost very much and then you just come back to it, Great for collecting runes and money
about #1, in Fallout 3 (or NV, I don't remember), there's a quest inside some old bunker with a secret room stashed with lots of gold bars and you must escape the bunker before it explodes, but gold bars are heavy, so basically Bethesda test you to see what you choose life or wealthy.
Players still found a way around it. (Never underestimate the power of Player Greed!)
"The perfect lifeform" couldn't agree with u anymore lol
With Number 7, you can also instead of hitting the strike button hit the counter button and Batman will reach through the bars and smack the dude's head into the bars, knocking him out
perfect timing falcon
