In the book, Gollum dies doing a victory dance when he trips and falls into the volcano. Imagine Skyrim ending with Alduin doing a victory lap and accidentally crashing into the Throat of the World.
@@RoronoraZoro666 Skyrim's story was fucking awesome. You play a person descended from a long line of people (mostly emperors) who share the blood of dragons, which allows you to harm things by speaking a dead language also spoken by said dragons... and the entire reason for your existence is to defeat a dragon destined to consume the entire world... by dying and following him to the game's equivalent of Valhalla and stealing his fucking soul. The story was metal as fuck.
One additional problem with the Return of the King game's ending duel: Gollum is quite well versed in how the Ring works (ie: you put it on, you go invisible). Given he has it at that point, he should be invisible for the entire fight. That said, oh god no, that's a terrible way to fight a boss in this kind of game, thank you for not doing that.
I thought shuffling through dark, foggy forests punching and jump-kicking hundreds of bats and ghosts to death (or back) was just something you had to do if you wanted to go _anywhere_ in Romania.
@@marhawkman303 My Romanian friend have been stabbed once and she was also first on scene when one of her neighbors was murdered inside the apartment complex. So pleasant.
@@LazzyVamples Well, I didn't say it was a crime-free utopia, just that it's not a place where you need to constantly worry about that. Also you're probably not going to get attacked by wild animals if you walk to the store. :p It was the wild animal attacks I was thinking of specifically. Every country has some amount of crime.
In the movie there's actually several dishes there. It's because certain interpretations had it that the form of the grail was lost to history and that people were only GUESSING that it was a cup. Yes, this is the stupid side of mythology....
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: You fight the Basilisk by redirecting the laser beam it shoots out of its fangs at you. Also, you can't actually hurt the Basilisk by swinging you sword at it.
BOY OH BOY Do thy want to hear about the first 4 harry potter games on the PC? Do those games go crazy real freaking fast, anybody remembers classic movie moments like that time in Philosopher's when harry has to fight Quirrel by making stone pillars fall on top of him, or that time also on Philosophers where harry had to collect fire seeds before Norbert could hatch, or that time when the troll chased harry for like 2 km of dilapidated corridors or that time in Chamber when harry had to fight the basilisk by shooting lasers from a sword at it, or that time on Goblet when Moody locked the gang in the rooftops of Hogwards and forced them to fight giant fire salamanders and then one of the castle towers collapsed and almost killed Ron, or that time in Goblet when harry discovered a giant underwater city during the second task, or that time Harry had to go through the part of the greenhouses that's filled with giant killer flies because that's where the Gillyweed was
I'm impressed that you remember so much about 'em, they're slowly coming back to me now. Videogame Harry makes book Harry and movie Harry look like little pansies with how much more he had to go through.
Incendere or that time Lupin dumped him down a hole to fight 20 (fake) dementors, or having to send rabbits through a hedge maze in a barn to free Buckbeak, or jumping on toxic green fart cushions that bury themselves in the ground... The Harry Potter games were wild 👌
Jane, nothing is more pivotal than Sam talking about potatoes. Who doesn't remember the dialogue, when Sméagol comes back with two dead rabbits: Sméagol: "Look! Look! See what Sméagol finds!" Sméagol: "They are young! They are tender and nice. Yes they are! Eat them. Eat them." Sam: "Make him sick you will, behaving like that. There's only one way to eat a brace of coneys." [Sam cooks the rabbits. Sméagol watches.] Sméagol: "Argh! What's he doing! Stupid fat hobbit. You ruins it!" Sam: "What's to ruin? There's hardly any meat on them." Sam: "What we need is a few good taters." Sméagol: "What's taters? Precious, what's taters? Huh?" Sam: "Po-ta-toes! Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish." Sméagol: "Phooh!" Sam: "Even you couldn't say no to that." Sméagol: "Oh yes we could! Spoiling nice fish!" Sméagol: "Give it to us raw - and wriggling! You keep nasty chips!" Sam: "You're hopeless."
...Inserting yourself into a narrative game to explain why the game doesn't end the way the story is meant to because of how you view the differences between what games and film are good as as mediums is... Not even Hideo Kojima would break the fourth wall that hard.
I just remember it being my favourite part of that game for years. I like the voice of god emerging to tell you, "Hey, while i appreciate the narrative of the movie demands Neo cast away his ego entirely and choose to die in order to give life to the rest of his species, a sacrifice that redeems humanity and a direct rejection of the ideology of a entity that thinks mankind is little more than a virus, in a game it's more satisfying to just fight the biggest fucking thing we could think of and pummel your enemy into dust because a game, having lower stakes than a human life, makes sacrifice feel less important" it's neat.
The Lokitheinane - That's exactly it; very well put, makes it a lot clearer. Even if a cutscene death Matters And Is Important, we still can''t quite keep ourselves from thinking about it the same way as we do a gameplay death - viz., just reload from Phoenix Down, Neo.
The silly thing is that in reality, the cup in question wasn't actually any more special than any other cup Jesus touched. :p (also the plate was there because some of the weirder versions of the holy grail myth have it that it was the platter he ate off of....
Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone ? Instead of the final scene, in which Harry melts Quirrel's face with the power of "Love", we fight Quirrel/Voldemort by turning the Mirror and reflecting his own magic blasts at him until he finally dies.
Remember where Jean-Claude Van Damme fought a giant Dolph Lundgren after jumping onto platforms in the end of Universal Soldier? No? The story involving the risks of creating soldiers with no empathy is pretty much thrown out for a console port of Turrican 2.
Andy Mcp The game was weirdly good, wasn't it? Earning the extra suits like the OG brown suit, the Apocalypse black outfit, and of course the iconic yellow and blue getup was especially awesome! 👍
I'm sorry Jane, I usually agree with you, but...clearly the most pivotal scene from the Lord of the Rings was the part where Merry falls on a carrot? That carrot symbolized the innocence of the hobbits, soon to be broken as they leave their homes behind. Absolutely the most important part of the entire trilogy, smh.
Short Circuit Amstrad game from 1987, the majority of the game was spent inside Nova Electronics doing all sorts to get out, except in the film Number 5 is struck by lightning then accidentally leaves within minutes
you forgot all the commentary tracks. by the time i got through all that. i wanted to murder that damn elf for not doing his job. then whines about the failure of mankind. lol
Well sure the ending in the LOTR game was a bit anti-climatic compared to the movie and the book, but it did give you the chance to beat the crap out of gollum with Gandalf, wich was a dream of mine while reading the books to be honest.
to be fair, one of them is a plate. at least she didnt go to that one. and here i thought that was a reference to the fact that the Holy Grail legend may have been inspired by Brann the Blessed's cauldron, which was a plate in earlier versions of ITS legend if i remember correctly.
I thought it was a reference to how some "scholars" of the grail mythos will tell you that the actual appearance of the grail was forgotten sometime prior to the 12th century, and that all we really "knew" about the grail was that it was (probably) one of the dishes at the last supper.
It's a bit hard to drink from a plate at the Last Supper or catch Jesus' blood in a plate. Also, Brann the Blessed's cauldron has to be always a cauldron, because not only did it magically create food and drink for people, it could also raise a dead person if the corpse was put into the cauldron filled with water (for rebirth symbolism). Presumably not at the same time, though.
He did in the VHS copy that I got after it was released.... ... didn't he? I can't remember; I only watched it once. Put it away and never watched it again because it was stupid :(
Haha I just think it's funny they think agent Smith Voltron is lame..or somehow lessens the matrix sequels.. when they're already totally shit hahaha both those sequels are just one long mess
Please the grail scene was nowhere near as horrifying as the Ark scene, possibly cause after seeing melting Nazi's I kept my eyes closed everytime a bad guy touched a holy artefact until the screaming stopped,(or my brother stole the pillow to cover his eyes)
The first time I played the matrix path of neo, it definitely took me off guard at the end. The very first instance of being trolled by the developers I can remember. And no they aren't kidding about the we are the champions bit, it really happens.
Ah, yes everybody knows that heroic sacrifices don't work in video games. Disregard God of War 3, Kingdom Hearts, Fallout 3, Ikaruga, several Telltale games...
That Dracula level makes me think the creator was thinking this "I have not read Dracula, I Do not want to read Dracula." "Here is a level in Dracula where you kick the Dracula books"
Fun fact the original Grail, not from the last supper but from the Grail legends, WAS a plate. Parsifal, the oldest known Grail legend, calls it San Gradalis meaning holy plate.
I know I was totally confused the first time I played the Cliffhanger video game adaptation and instead of a mere six henchpeople in addition to John Lithgow's epic international ex-military intelligence officer, I found myself facing approximately three hundred baddies all over the mountain and at least one additional landslide that the movie chose not to include.
Um, I don't remember anything about Neo being assimilated at the end of The Matrix? He was resurrected by Trinity, he destroyed the one Agent Smith and then the movie ended and there weren't any more of them that descended into philosophical mumblings and weird trips to clubs owned by French dudes with funny ties.
What about in the harry potter game for the ps1 they say that the Dursleys are harry's step parents Edit: even though i changed it to Dursleys , Weasleys still work
...If they used some term other than "step-parents" they'd be approximately right. But no, they had to pick the _one_ parenting term that wouldn't apply to the Weasleys! (I mean, aside from "biological parents".)
"Welcome to the Burrow Harry, see that little girl over there? you're going to be railing her in six years so you might as well get used to thinking of us as your parents now. Would you like a bacon sandwich?"
MuffinHunterX A bit like Ron first time meeting Hermione on the Hogwarts express and greeting her with words "You're going to be the mother of my children! Also, hi, my name is Ronald Weasley, but everyone just calls me Ron"
I remember liking the Wachoski's bit in The Matrix Path of Neo just because it was so silly and didn't fit the game at all. Nowadays all we get are crappy movie video game without a sense of humor
I honestly think it depends on your sense of humor as some of the older movie video games I could laugh my ass off on either their weird sense or humor or just simply on how bad they where. But I do agree that movie based games are way less nowadays. The only ones that have come out in recent years are those crappy Tranformer games if I remember right
Pretty sad when your studio can't afford to give out pixelated medals to every hero who survived at the end of your game because... you know... budgets and stuff. :)
My suggestion would be pretty much every Harry Potter game, the intended feeling of being wizard is broken when Harry is helplessly flailing his arm around at his opponent, or when you have to make about 50 potions to emphasise the fact that Harry is quite good at Potions class.
I like that you post warnings for spoilers for even films from a spazillion years ago, when people on Facebook are like "That film/tv episode I just saw has been out for 24 hours, so everyone MUST have seen it by now, I'll spoil away!"
What about Raiders of the Lost Arc in Lego Indiana Jones 2? When Indie meets that guy with the sword (who he just shoots in the movie), he instead pulls out a banana and then fights him with a sword.
Whats funny is in the movie he was actually supposed to have a sword fight with that guy but Harrison Ford wasn't feeling well that day and basically said screw it and pulled out a prop gun and shot the guy instead.
They had to make the game kid-friendly. Which means PG rating which means no blood and no guns. Remember how years after E.T. was in theaters, the re-edited graphically "enhanced" Director's Cut used CGI to replace all the guns and rifles the government people were holding with other non-weapon stuff.

reminds me of the SNES version of "Aladdin", where you spend the entire game throwing apples at enemies and jumping on their heads! at least in the Playstation version Aladdin got to use a sword.
Can I just shamefully say that I once watched all the hobbit movies and all the Lord of the Rings in a row in a cinema in a different city then on the bus home watched the directors cut of the Return of the King then once home, read the Silmarillion in bed.
Might I Inquire on how much soft drinks and snacks were consumed in that time period? Surely, that is ALOT of time flying by and surely nature called at least once.

i can think of several movies based on games that were terrible: Super Mario Brothers, Doom, Tomb Raider...can't think of any others.
BassicalyRock 8-bit graphics aren't actually terrible, you should look at them and say "look how far we've come" and a lot of classic games were 8-but like super mario or the legend of zelda
Smart dialogue, insightful data dump on classic games, and adorable images of sushi, all delivered by our charming hosts and hostess.. a perfect score!... minus 5 points for uttering the absolute most overused word on TH-cam; the dreaded "titular".
There was another James Bond rewrite that also stood out at me. In the Tomorrow Never Dies game on PlayStation, you actually SAVE Paris Carver and escort her safely out of the hotel.
5:50 ok, this dramatic liberty almost makes sense in this video game context, at least compared to some of the other ones. Transformation into a tortured and curse being, the natural enemy of any true grail knight? I can see that as being deemed acceptable, at least under certain caffeine induced fugues.
Ah, that famous Star Wars quote: "Luke, this is the final showdown". I should get it tattooed.
Just slightly more famous than "I am wampa Vader. Your friend is in ice!"

"Your friend is in the basement." - Scorpion Vader

How can you get "turned into a skeleton in fright"? Verily
it's only possible in engrish. Don't question it too much or you'll go bonkers.
Scares your skin and meat away
The IRL bit of the Lego movie...
"An asthmatic cyborg with a bucket on his head."
Lol I love that description ...you're my new hero.
What about in the harry potter game for the ps1 they say that the Dursleys are harry's step parents
Edit: even though i changed it to Dursleys , Weasleys still work
Doomed Assassin ikr, I thought I was the only one that questioned that
...If they used some term other than "step-parents" they'd be approximately right. But no, they had to pick the _one_ parenting term that wouldn't apply to the Weasleys!
(I mean, aside from "biological parents".)
"Welcome to the Burrow Harry, see that little girl over there? you're going to be railing her in six years so you might as well get used to thinking of us as your parents now. Would you like a bacon sandwich?"

A bit like Ron first time meeting Hermione on the Hogwarts express and greeting her with words "You're going to be the mother of my children! Also, hi, my name is Ronald Weasley, but everyone just calls me Ron"
Dursleys* And I just assumed that is another definition of the term.
I remember the ending of The Matrix: The Path of Neo. It was one of the most WTF moments of my life as a gamer.
The delivery of "To be fair, one of them's a plate" made me crack up for like fifteen minutes. Idk what it was, but it was great
I remember liking the Wachoski's bit in The Matrix Path of Neo just because it was so silly and didn't fit the game at all. Nowadays all we get are crappy movie video game without a sense of humor
Miss Mercy No, that was back then. Nowadays, we mostly just get Lego tie ins and mobile app games.
I honestly think it depends on your sense of humor as some of the older movie video games I could laugh my ass off on either their weird sense or humor or just simply on how bad they where. But I do agree that movie based games are way less nowadays. The only ones that have come out in recent years are those crappy Tranformer games if I remember right
Marty didn't kill them. They just fainted, you know Pokémon.
Loved the list but the bit that really shocked me was that at the end you *KNEW* what videos were being sugested.
To quote the bard:
"whoa!"
The savagery of "until the heat dies down". Jane, we salute your wittiness.
Justice for Chewie finally
Pretty sad when your studio can't afford to give out pixelated medals to every hero who survived at the end of your game because... you know... budgets and stuff. :)
I love that little cracked-chuckle that Jane gives when she says "where the game diverges most radically from the film though" XD
So can we get a Mama Mia remake with Luke Skywalker and all the Vader fathers? That might be the first good video game movie.
My suggestion would be pretty much every Harry Potter game, the intended feeling of being wizard is broken when Harry is helplessly flailing his arm around at his opponent, or when you have to make about 50 potions to emphasise the fact that Harry is quite good at Potions class.
PO-TA-TOES is the most symbolic and powerful moment in cinema history
I like that you post warnings for spoilers for even films from a spazillion years ago, when people on Facebook are like "That film/tv episode I just saw has been out for 24 hours, so everyone MUST have seen it by now, I'll spoil away!"
I like that at 14:00, Frodo is animated to reach out his hand as if to save Gollum, whom he just Doomed to death.
'Don't you read books?' * starts kicking books * I died lol
5:46 You know when someone jumps out at you and you just become a godforsaken creature of the night. Out of fear.
Thanks for being polite and asking me if I'm on the mood before asking me to go watch another video.
I didn't know Darth Vader was a big Animorphs fan.
Good video, guys. Maybe you should do another one about movies that ruined their game counterparts. Start with Resident Evil 😁
"In video games the jesus thing is... lame. Really lame."
*puts down Persona 3 and grabs shotgun*
Always knew you were a good brother Andy 🤘🏾
What about Raiders of the Lost Arc in Lego Indiana Jones 2? When Indie meets that guy with the sword (who he just shoots in the movie), he instead pulls out a banana and then fights him with a sword.
Duncan Lego Indiana Jones 2 was a mistake.
yup it was lego indiana jones 1 should have been the only one to exist
just added the new movie as dlc
Whats funny is in the movie he was actually supposed to have a sword fight with that guy but Harrison Ford wasn't feeling well that day and basically said screw it and pulled out a prop gun and shot the guy instead.
They had to make the game kid-friendly. Which means PG rating which means no blood and no guns. Remember how years after E.T. was in theaters, the re-edited graphically "enhanced" Director's Cut used CGI to replace all the guns and rifles the government people were holding with other non-weapon stuff.
reminds me of the SNES version of "Aladdin", where you spend the entire game throwing apples at enemies and jumping on their heads!
at least in the Playstation version Aladdin got to use a sword.
Jane's joke at the end is why I'm subscribed.
To be fair, the Dracula game was only as far from the movie as the movie was from the book.
Giant Agent Smith wearing a giant sunglasses........that killed me.
Ted "Theodore" Logan will always be the best Keanu
It's okay Adam, the part of the matrix where Neo says whoa is also my favorite bit.
Really enjoyed this one, especially the bit about the Dracula game.
“Wipe his magic bones enough and they’ll catch fire....... sure“🤣
You take that back, Jane. Potatoes are EVERYTHING!
Can I just shamefully say that I once watched all the hobbit movies and all the Lord of the Rings in a row in a cinema in a different city then on the bus home watched the directors cut of the Return of the King then once home, read the Silmarillion in bed.
^True legend.
Damn, I'd love to do that
Might I Inquire on how much soft drinks and snacks were consumed in that time period? Surely, that is ALOT of time flying by and surely nature called at least once.
Why would you be ashamed of that? That's every Saturday for me.
**standing and applauding**
"I am Scorpion Vader... your cool Uncle!"
Can I just say thanks for posting the spoilers in the beginning. I always read them and if I haven't played/ seen the games I save to watch later.
I originally misread the title as "7 Famous Movie Moments That Ruined the Game Adaptation" Which, I'm not sure I can think of an example, but it seems like an interesting concept.
i can think of several movies based on games that were terrible: Super Mario Brothers, Doom, Tomb Raider...can't think of any others.
5:42 Saw Donovan as the thumbnail and thought the Phantasm movie was turned into a game too
'To be fair...one of them's a plate...' i now having aching ribs and had to rewind so i didn't miss anything...
who can forget the iconic scene where vader apears in the clouds and tells luke he must take his place in the circle of life
Despite how terrible a lot of these games look now, that 8-bit music sure is catchy
BassicalyRock 8-bit graphics aren't actually terrible, you should look at them and say "look how far we've come" and a lot of classic games were 8-but like super mario or the legend of zelda
Smart dialogue, insightful data dump on classic games, and adorable images of sushi, all delivered by our charming hosts and hostess.. a perfect score!... minus 5 points for uttering the absolute most overused word on TH-cam; the dreaded "titular".
I thought Andy's gonna say "Donovon drink from the wrong grail and turns into wrong Jeremy"
1:40 "The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
There was another James Bond rewrite that also stood out at me. In the Tomorrow Never Dies game on PlayStation, you actually SAVE Paris Carver and escort her safely out of the hotel.
I don't remember Boromir being shot with a broom and a banana in the movie.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had their childhood nightmares haunted by Donovan's face.
Janes top has given me a craving for sushi, which will probably remain unfulfilled. Thanks for that
Donavan drinks from the wrong grail and turns into Doc from Back to the Future.
When she talks about han not getting a medal I got a WrestleMania ad lol 😂
The only thing worse than the Eragon movie was the Eragon Videogame...
There was a game?!
TheBadassRaven 3692 yes, sadly...
The Last Airbender movie.
Ak-47s in GoldenEye always make me think I'm shooting people with a pencil
5:50 ok, this dramatic liberty almost makes sense in this video game context, at least compared to some of the other ones. Transformation into a tortured and curse being, the natural enemy of any true grail knight? I can see that as being deemed acceptable, at least under certain caffeine induced fugues.
7:27.....
That sounded so very much like she said, as Jonathan harker kicked her head off “embrace me my love, embrace so you c#~t” 😂😂😂
