10 Times Games BROKE All Video Game Rules

Man. Hellblade’s progress delete had me on edge the entire time.. until I went back for lorestones. I love that game!

Hellblade is also part schizophrenia simulator, with the voices and visual hallucinations, but the "rot" thing simulated paranoia itself. And it was brilliant. Edit: I should say it emulates psychosis rather than schizophrenia. It would be hard to emulate schizophrenia's negative symptoms.

Id say you were spot on with the Dark Souls analysis. Everyone is terrified of the main bad guy who is hopeless and shrivelled while greater more powerful appendages of the system uphold it. Its true to a lot of real world stuff.

Hellblade really got me. I was stressing and struggled with bird boss. Thought it was over and breathed a big sigh of relief after the rot reached her heart and I just started back before the boss. It was 3/4 through the game.

Falcon is like the elder brother whom you go to when in need of good game recommendations 😎

You did a really really really good job hyping up the fact that there are other acts to Inscryption that are so different without spoiling it at all, big props!

Ah, Hellblade. Love that game. It was finaly a game from developers who not only understand that gameplay mechanics are a part of the narrative, but also had the currage to act upon that understanding. Would never have happend with a big publisher.

Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Kiryu can literally break the turn based system, it's such a cool move and it's badass when he does it, man i'm so excited for Like A Dragon 8

I totally LOVED Far Cry 4's secret ending. I kept saying, "I don't want to play this anymore.". I got this ending before properly playing the game, so now I don't want to play the game at all. Pagan Min's been trying to keep order in the area(evident by how he didn't want his soldier killing the innocent civilians on the bus. His anger with the Golden Path is justified. Their leader, Ajay's father, killed his daughter, and yet he's willing to accept Ajay despite being the blood of that ruthless man. He even gives over control over the territory to Ajay for him to take control and maintain peace.) Yes, this is the Templar way, but I'm not complaining. Freedom can lead to chaos without proper authority.

In farcry 4's case it actually feels like the good ending considering how evil the other two characters are.

Something you forgot about Desert Bus: If it stalls out because it hits the side of the road... You have to get towed back, and it tows you back *in real time as well*.

Thank you so much Falcon. Including that spoiler warnering and the time skip stamp before actually stating it is surprisingly something a lot of listicles miss and I cant appreciate it enough (even if I still watched it because it was only Cyberpunk)

ICO comes to mind. The whole game is a dreaded escort-mission. But it's done so gracefully that it gets a pass.

THANK YOU, for putting a big obvious spoiler screen before a new game/dlc. Please ALWAYS DO THAT! I genuinely appreciated it being big and obvious and giving me a time stamp to to skip to so I can avoid spoilers until I finish a new DLC I haven’t had the time to finish yet. Praise be to Falcon.

“If a game tells you to jump with A, but it’s actually jump with Y, the tutorial is meaningless.” Stares in Portal 2

What about Metal Gear Solid on PS1 and the Psyco Mantis fight? That's the first one I thought of. Reading your saves, using a second controller. A little tense at first.

Frog Factions sounds more wild than Frog Fractions.

One I remember, it was common for games to have the appearance of a large battles, mostly war games, but in reality they'd have you run down trenches or at most a closed off field, so looked larger, but was in reality corridors and halls. Then there was the one Call of Juarez game, has near identical set up, running through trenches, from point A to B then trading fire with enemies, then out of nowhere a canon explodes the trench and it's basically the game going "go wild". Just like that you're over the top -running through large open fields, jumping in and out of the trenches and I don't know if that's the first time a map has really been open and not an illusion of scope.

THANK YOU for the spoiler warning for CP:PL! I actually wish all such channels did like outsidexbox does and "beware spoilers for the following games" on such vids. I'm sure we've all missed a game that we want to go back to but it's 2 years old now

Nice Spoiler Warning! No sarcasm! Full Stop!! Thank you!!!!
