When Mercer Frey stabbed me in Skyrim’s Snow Veil Sanctum for the first time, I thought I’d screwed up the quest somehow and was legitimately dead. He put a sword through my chest, for heaven’s sake, and then there was a blackout and a loading screen... Skyrim doesn’t give you “game over”s, but apparently it does fakeout deaths!
The first time you die to Asriel Dreemurr (Undertale, Pacifist Route), it will start to play the ordinary Game Over, before your SOUL regenerates, refuses to die because yes, and battle resumes
Alien Isolation: near the end of the game when Amanda is getting ready to leave the station a xenomorph hiding in one of the air ducts grabs her and drags her away to another area normally this would result in a game over instead she wakes up cocooned to a wall and the game continues as usual.
@@weneedaladder8384 reminds me of a review of a game based on "the Thing". the villain is a shapeshifter who can also turn other people into "Things"... so there's a gimmick where other people won't trust you unless you do a blood test, and you can ask them to do the same... BUT there are also Scripted events that will cause certain people to turn into Things right in front of you at certain points in the story, EVEN IF THEY TESTED NEGATIVE 5 SECONDS BEFORE! so, the blood testing is pointless, you might as well just kill EVERYONE you meet.
In Drakengard 3, there’s a scenario where Zero and company fall off a snowy cliff seemingly to their deaths, but a few moments the Game Over screen comes on, Zero literally shoves the screen away and says she decides when it’s all over!
Eternal Darkness throws a fake “To Be Continued” screen at you as a hallucination. It even has a title for the “sequel”: Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Redemption
@@dominichoughton8119 Same, but it is also languishing in limbo.

And neither party is working with the other. So....we could be waiting forever....
So, reading the ending screen for the Hiss Ending in Control: "All hair must be eaten." Jumped out at me.... must follow the commands of the Hiss Overlords!
Technically that's a fakeout glitch/disc error, but the hallucination scenario contains the fakeout death when you get shot, so I guess it still counts. :)
@@IanWatson Yes, when The Joker shoots Batman in the hallucination and tells you to use the middle stick to dodge. I was confused by it like "what do they mean middle stick?!?"

There's also Sunset Overdrive when you fly a giant soda bottle into a building, explode, then get crushed in the rubble. Credits roll until your character doesn't accept that ending and resurrects themself all Beetlejuice style.
I actually have 2 for this! Okami: after beating Orochi for the first time the credits roll but it turns out you're nowhere near done the game. And Dragon Quest XI: a few tens of hours in you beat the big bad and the credits roll, but your actually only halfway done the story!
Okami goes hard on "this is definitely the end" before the first Orochi fight, to the point where the first time I played I restarted the entire game because I thought I'd glitched something. Surely I couldn't be at the final dungeon this early!
Yeah for Dragon Quest XI. Then there's also when you fight the casino/arena boss as the one party member and you lose you think that it's gonna be over but then your outfit revives you and you learn that you can't die. I think that there are actually a lot of examples from Dragon Quest games.
Submission for the inevitable “commentor edition” sequel video, MY first encounter with the fake out ending was a little known namco game called ghosthunter which has your kidnapped partner possessed by the spirit of an ancient evil crusader knight who proceeds to shoot you dead. The game then drops you back all the way to the main menu before you’re life is saved by an AI in a mech suit. So you know, a typical Wednesday night.
Omori does a wonderful job at this as when it gave the fake game over screen it was only subtilely different from the usual game over screen which I’m sure a lot missed on their first go. It was probably hard to notice through all the tears as well.
Me, seeing the title of the video: "Oh, they're going to talk about Scarecrow crashing the game in Arkham Asylum." Me, seeing the list of spoiled games: "Oh, they're NOT going to talk about Scarecrow crashing the game in Arkham Asylum."
Well, that's psychology at work. They left out (at least) one extremely obvious choice, so that - first - we have your exact thoughts (which I did), and - second - they already have candidates for the commenter edition. Also, it likely makes for a more entertaining experience to be surprised. Fire up that engagement for the algorithm. At first I was almost a bit angee by the omission, but then I understood. Kudos, Team!
Ah, yes, the ending the new love of your life showed up to rescue you. The stinger (a.k.a. The Unitology post-credits scene) didn't happen, though, and so's the third game.
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (DS version) does this during the final boss fight! The first time you die to Wilfre it acts like a game over, only for you to come back faster, stronger and better, after being resurrected by the willpower of the Rapos you saved.
FNaF: Sister Location has to have the best fakeout I've ever seen to end night 3. You go through a minigame to get to a minigame, complete the minigame, then SEEMINGLY have to go back through the previous minigame to escape. Nothing happens as you make your way back, until suddenly, randomly, you get the exact jumpscare that normally marks failure. EVERYONE was faked out by that one, there's no indication that it wasn't somehow your fault for screwing up. But then, instead of saying "Game Over", it plays the between-nights audio we've been hearing of a little girl talking, then starts up night 4, all without ceremony. Even when the fakeout is revealed, you're left confused as to whether or not it was a fakeout. It's brilliant.
There's one of these in Deltarune: Chapter 2, where if you go to a certain spot, the Annoying Dog from Undertale will appear for... some reason, and chase you with a car, and eventually hit you, playing the Undertale game over screen before the dog runs that over, too, and you get to continue.
The Curse of Monkey Island has a hilarious moment where, after faking his own death (it's a long story), protagonist Guybrush Threepwood awakens locked inside a casket in a darkened crypt. The game proceeds to display the words "The End", a fake score of 0 out of a possible 800, and then scrolls a short blurb of credits, all to Guybrush's annoyance.
Oh my lord control got me good. I loved it. I was mildly obsessed with figuring out what the hiss were repeating as you start noticing patterns the more you play the game. So when I saw the words start popping up in the credits I got suuuuper excited 😅
Oh sweet Resident Evil Outbreak. We need a remake of that one and File 2 now that online co op is more of a regular thing. Oh and they've done the Scarecrow fake out in another older video. It's also so well known now that that's probably why it got left out. King K Rool is repeat as well 😂.
In God of War: Ragnarok during the first fight with Thor, he knocks out Kratos with the hammer and the game shows 'Game Over' scene. However, Thor uses hammer as a defibrillator to wake Kratos up because the former wants a good fight
How did you create a video about fake game overs and not include the scarecrow scene from Arkham asylum. That god damn terrified me the first time I played the game
No love for Curse of Monkey Island? That game over was so convincing that repeating it resulted in Stan S. Stanman paying out the life insurance policy.
What about “Star Wars: Fallen Order”? Mid way though the game, you encounter a bounty hunter you are forced to fight, and no matter how good you are, he/she/it knocks you unconscious, and prompting a “reawaken” screen (aka, you died). But you “reawaken”, you literally reawake in an unknown location, and fight your way out in an arena
Is the game good? Finishing a few other games, then its either back to Monster Hunter World or start Jedi FO. Is Kingdom Hearts 3 a good tee up for Jedi FO or should I cleanse my pallet first with a recomondation? My gaming origin comes from the O.G. Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), though I started on an Atari. And am a huge Star Wars buff. Honest option of the game? I heard this is a"Souls" difficultly, is that true? Have you played Ghosts n' Goblins- NES? Cause that is "Souls" Great Granddaddy. 1 hit your naked next hit you dead.
@@katieblade7083 I'd give it solid 7 out of 10. It's beautiful with simple but engaging story and nice world's Minuses tho for the lack of open world and the limitation of places you can go, and also characters are just...not very interesting. But it's good fun anyway
I love J:FO, but it has its problems. I think the biggest is that it is actually a cross between a 3D Metroidvania and a Sekisoulsborne game--but *unlike* Bloodborne especially but all the Fromsoft games in general, it doesn't do as good a job of teaching you how to actually play the game cleverly. I brute forced my way through the game without trouble, it was great! ... And then the second to last boss, suddenly I couldn't win at *all* and had to turn it down to story mode--not even easy, *story mode*--to beat it. Whooops. If you are already good at Sekisoulsborne games you will probably be okay, but I haven't played them and man did it hurt.
just shape and beats.... huh... yeah thats why I like to watch such "top#" videos, cause sometimes you discover games you have not even heard of or never though to give a try, isn't that right bloodborne? :3 also in this regard, thanks for putting lesser known examples on this list. Kinda gettin tired of the scarecrow thing in arkham asylum being mentioned.
They could include Okami and Bayonetta! Also Bravely Second has a similar-if-not-quite moment (the final boss forces you to delete your own save file to stop you interfering in its plans).
Borderlands 3 fake-out cliffhanger. The Calypso Twins bury our heroes beneath a ton of rubble. The game logo appears on the screen, followed by "To be continued in..." and the number 4, clearly setting up a fourth game. But then, with a countdown beep, the 4 becomes a 3, the 3 becomes a 2, the 2... well, you get the idea. The countdown concludes, the heroes escape the rubble and their journey continues.
I love that moment! That's an impressive way to say "ok, tutorial is over". Also I love that the game has a super-early game over if you refuse to accept the mission.
When Dead Space 2 started to roll credits at the end and you were still trapped wherever, I thought that was the best example of a fake game over / ending.
I'm surprised OMORI wasn't on this list. In the goodest ending it throws a fake game over at you which is mildly different from the normal game over, and asks if you wish to continue. Saying no gives you the bad ending, so continuing it is.
I was pretty sick of the writing in that game, so when I got to that I basically thought "okay, fine, at least we're done here". I was actually disappointed when the game went on.
Borderlands 3 Had you crushed beneath the telekineticly-thrown rubble of an Eridian ruin, only for the obnoxious girl to gain foretold siren powers and remove the debris.
WoW the lichking fight... at one point when arthes is at 10% health, he kills everyone and the game then tells you that you can release your spirit so you can redo the fight again. but if you do not only you miss the rez by bovar , but the chance to get the lichking's mount...
how about the one near the end of kingdom hearts 3 where xeanort blasts sora but then donald and goofy call to him and revive him and they all beat xeanort together
I'm playing through Curse of Monkey Island for like the 8th time, and I'm pretty sure it has a fake-out "Sierra" ending, when Guybrush basically dies, even though he's been warned that yes, he will die. He gets better.
Borderlands 3...actual to be continued in 4 messages before the psych out and count down. Plus they reinforced it being the last mission by having you say goodbye to crew.
"Is King K. Rool a king or a pirate?" Ah, clearly you missed the latest episode of One Piece, where it was revealed that King K. Rool was the one true King of the Pirates!

Where’s Batman: Arkham Asylum? When you go into Scarecrow’s nightmare, the joker shoots you and it literally shows the death screen. But it is all on purpose. It honestly fooled me the first time I played it.
Hitman Bloodmoney is my absolute favorite doing this. Your own funeral and end credits, serving as a proper ending unless you realize your own heart is slowly beating, so you can mash the buttons till you wake up.
It’s been an hour since the video “ended” but I’m still here waiting for Mike to reveal the real ending.

In God of War: Ragnarok during the first fight with Thor, he knocks out Kratos with the hammer and the game shows 'Game Over' scene. However, Thor uses hammer as a defibrillator to wake Kratos up because the former wants a good fight
“Is he a king or a pirate?”
Luffy from One Piece: EXCUSE YOU
Just gets more confusing in DKC2, where Captain K.Rool is in a castle...
@@theanthropologuy I think he always plays the role of the next game
Surprised Borderlands 3 didnt make the cut. The fade to black, "to be continued in 4," and countdown to 1 from there really got me 🤣
What about Borderlands 1. The Dr ned DLC ending after you defeat him then he slices the credits
That one was in a previous video
In Kingdom Hearts 2, when Sora gets killed, Mickey Mouse comes and fights in his role.
I am SHOCKED Dead Space 2 was not mentioned
Nobody going to mention Arkham Asylum's "Move the middle stick" gameover?😂
How did you create a video about fake game overs and not include the scarecrow scene from Arkham asylum. That god damn terrified me the first time I played the game
LOL Agreed:P
They've already done that one on this channel. Not to mention it's in like every list about fake out endings
@@Rodrigo-ei4ht the classics are classic for a reason ;)
No love for Curse of Monkey Island? That game over was so convincing that repeating it resulted in Stan S. Stanman paying out the life insurance policy.
What about “Star Wars: Fallen Order”? Mid way though the game, you encounter a bounty hunter you are forced to fight, and no matter how good you are, he/she/it knocks you unconscious, and prompting a “reawaken” screen (aka, you died). But you “reawaken”, you literally reawake in an unknown location, and fight your way out in an arena
Is the game good? Finishing a few other games, then its either back to Monster Hunter World or start Jedi FO. Is Kingdom Hearts 3 a good tee up for Jedi FO or should I cleanse my pallet first with a recomondation?
My gaming origin comes from the O.G. Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), though I started on an Atari. And am a huge Star Wars buff. Honest option of the game? I heard this is a"Souls" difficultly, is that true? Have you played Ghosts n' Goblins- NES? Cause that is "Souls" Great Granddaddy. 1 hit your naked next hit you dead.
@@katieblade7083 I'd give it solid 7 out of 10. It's beautiful with simple but engaging story and nice world's
Minuses tho for the lack of open world and the limitation of places you can go, and also characters are just...not very interesting. But it's good fun anyway
I love J:FO, but it has its problems. I think the biggest is that it is actually a cross between a 3D Metroidvania and a Sekisoulsborne game--but *unlike* Bloodborne especially but all the Fromsoft games in general, it doesn't do as good a job of teaching you how to actually play the game cleverly.
I brute forced my way through the game without trouble, it was great! ... And then the second to last boss, suddenly I couldn't win at *all* and had to turn it down to story mode--not even easy, *story mode*--to beat it. Whooops.
If you are already good at Sekisoulsborne games you will probably be okay, but I haven't played them and man did it hurt.
reminiscent of Dark Souls Seath's battle, or Bloodborne bag men.
What about borderlands 3? It worked on me cus I thought the vault monster was gonna be the end of the game lol so I was expecting a much shorter game
and also the Troy Boss fight gave final boss vibes
@@jotarokujo4727 thats what im talking about that countdown confused me lol
just shape and beats.... huh... yeah thats why I like to watch such "top#" videos, cause sometimes you discover games you have not even heard of or never though to give a try, isn't that right bloodborne? :3
also in this regard, thanks for putting lesser known examples on this list. Kinda gettin tired of the scarecrow thing in arkham asylum being mentioned.
Lol they did that one in an older video AND people still ask why it isn't on this list 😂 Like you already know it, it's time for lesser known entries.
@@Rodrigo-ei4ht exactly. You want to keep these list interesting and not just repeat crap everyone have heard over and over XD
17:24 I have no idea what this game is - never played it - no idea who those characters are. But those things are so darn cute.
W/O tapping yer timestamp,
talking about zerglings, right?
**still recovering from StarCrack addiction**
What about the game over in Kingdom Hearts 3 in the final boss fight it throws you into a game over screen making me think I died for the 15th time.
I forgot about that. I loved the realization that the heartbeat was coming out of the controller speakers
I forgot about this one
They could include Okami and Bayonetta! Also Bravely Second has a similar-if-not-quite moment (the final boss forces you to delete your own save file to stop you interfering in its plans).
Fun fact: "Hiss" is Swedish for "elevator".
Very close to Finnish as well, from what I heard.
@@penyuwan Yeah, elevator in Finnish is "Hissi"
Borderlands 3 fake-out cliffhanger. The Calypso Twins bury our heroes beneath a ton of rubble. The game logo appears on the screen, followed by "To be continued in..." and the number 4, clearly setting up a fourth game. But then, with a countdown beep, the 4 becomes a 3, the 3 becomes a 2, the 2... well, you get the idea. The countdown concludes, the heroes escape the rubble and their journey continues.
Golden sun, the game starts you off with a game over that I thought was real
I love that moment! That's an impressive way to say "ok, tutorial is over".
Also I love that the game has a super-early game over if you refuse to accept the mission.
When Dead Space 2 started to roll credits at the end and you were still trapped wherever, I thought that was the best example of a fake game over / ending.
I'm surprised OMORI wasn't on this list. In the goodest ending it throws a fake game over at you which is mildly different from the normal game over, and asks if you wish to continue. Saying no gives you the bad ending, so continuing it is.
"Do lizards even eat bananas" yes, yes they do. Only should be an occasional treat due to the potassium but they do go for them in a big way
My personal favorite was Borderlands 3 with the to be continued in 4 - "ending" which ended up being a countdown :D
I was pretty sick of the writing in that game, so when I got to that I basically thought "okay, fine, at least we're done here". I was actually disappointed when the game went on.
Borderlands 3 Had you crushed beneath the telekineticly-thrown rubble of an Eridian ruin, only for the obnoxious girl to gain foretold siren powers and remove the debris.
The one that popped right into my mind is Futurama the game
Yes. The bloody tutorial gives you a game over. Fml. Lucky fry respawns.
WoW the lichking fight... at one point when arthes is at 10% health, he kills everyone and the game then tells you that you can release your spirit so you can redo the fight again. but if you do not only you miss the rez by bovar , but the chance to get the lichking's mount...
how about the one near the end of kingdom hearts 3 where xeanort blasts sora but then donald and goofy call to him and revive him and they all beat xeanort together
The fact that Goofy and Donald call to Sora THROUGH THE PS4 CONTROLLER'S SPEAKER was pretty fucking awesome and blew my mind
I’m incredibly surprised the fight with Asriel from Undertale wasn’t on here
I miss these videos when andy sat all fancy in the chair. I hooe they can get back to their normal set up soon
I'm playing through Curse of Monkey Island for like the 8th time, and I'm pretty sure it has a fake-out "Sierra" ending, when Guybrush basically dies, even though he's been warned that yes, he will die.
He gets better.
i think i heard somewhere that the only way he can REALLY die in that game is by staying underwater for more than ten minutes.
11:14, he's a pirate king of course.
“You have to beat the game twice?!” -Angry Video Game Nerd, Ghouls & Ghost Review.
Great video, very sweet.
Why does Pitt have a seizure when talking to the peoples of the Underworld?
Sekiro will always be the one that got me. That Guardian Ape rising back up after the "Shinobi Execution" popped up. Classic
Hades was actually the best god of them all
I am thankful someone finally mentioned DKC, my mom, cousin, and I play this game every time he sleeps over
Borderlands 3...actual to be continued in 4 messages before the psych out and count down. Plus they reinforced it being the last mission by having you say goodbye to crew.
“Now given my level of skill in this kind of game-”
Me: Sad but true
Control is a better Star Wars game than anything EA has produced. Yeah I said it.
100% true. Remedy needs to be hired by EA to make future Star Wars games. Plots will be more interesting, too.
Yes police? I just witnessed a murder.
I just *really* need to know the name of the song at 16:11 please?
"Is King K. Rool a king or a pirate?"
Ah, clearly you missed the latest episode of One Piece, where it was revealed that King K. Rool was the one true King of the Pirates!
Bruh spoilers
Sonic and the black night literally takes you through an entire end credits then just goes directly to another cut scene
Icarus was Dedalus's son. He died escaping king Minus with Dedalus when his bronze wings broke and he fell into the sea.
reminds me of a takeoff story i read in a magazine...
in that story, Icarus was testing a hang-glider Dedalus had designed, tried to gain too much height too fast, stalled out, and crashed...
@@ericb3157 cool ya i love greek mythology and since they are legends there are many versions so this is just the story i think of
“You know what they say, mess with the Kong, you better not…”
“…treat yourself this winter!”
No me finding out that I actually didn’t finish Control rn 👁👄👁
For me the “beware spoilers” list is a spoiler for the list so I always skip it lol
Where’s Batman: Arkham Asylum? When you go into Scarecrow’s nightmare, the joker shoots you and it literally shows the death screen. But it is all on purpose. It honestly fooled me the first time I played it.
I respect you so much for listing the games that you will be discussing at the beginning of the video.
Hold up. I feel like I’ve seen this video before.
Haha lol
Hitman Bloodmoney is my absolute favorite doing this. Your own funeral and end credits, serving as a proper ending unless you realize your own heart is slowly beating, so you can mash the buttons till you wake up.
Like in real life, when your first crush breaks up with you. Not really game over, but feels like it.
I think a better slogan would be, "You come at the Kong... you must be hitting THE BONG!!" XD
