    In Dishonored, I had high chaos the first time I finished the game and got to Havelock, I shot at him the moment he grabbed Emily but I missed. Havelock fell backwards over the edge with Emily in his grasp, and without thinking I used my teleportation power and leaped to the edge of the platform and managed to grab Emily's hand and pull her back up! I felt like a freaking superhero!

      Yeah, by the time you get to the end of the game, switching to Blink and immediately teleporting to save yourself from a fall, outmaneuver an enemy in combat, or avoid being detected by a patrol, becomes second nature.. you do it without thinking.
      When you see Havelock fall over the edge and drag Emily with him, Blinking to the edge and grabbing her becomes as natural as catching a coffee cup falling off a table. Eh, I'm not saying Emily is a coffee, cup, but you get what I mean.. abilities feel like an extension of yourself.

    I loved the start of FarCry 4, where the nice polite dictator pops off to deal with something & asks you to wait for him. After about 15 minutes he comes back and providing you didn't leave and kick start the entire game he helps you complete what you came to do. End sequence & credits. Awesome.
    Funny thing is it's my ending. My ps3 broke shortly there after and I never got back to the game.

    the craziest result of a yes/no question will always be in Front Mission 3. When your buddy asks you if you want to go with him, near the start of the game. Depending on how you answer changes the entire story that you end up playing the rest of the game.

      Witcher 2 is similar, after chapter 1 you get to choose which character you want to move on with, which drastically changes the remaining 2 chapters. And there’s many more ending-altering decisions on each way.

      Basically there's two different campaigns in the game, which for the most part puts you on opposite sides of the various conflicts and wars in a multi-national globe-spanning conspiracy.
      In itself, games with two campaigns where you can choose a side were not uncommon.. other games of the era also did this.
      The crazy part is what you mentioned: that the entire "forking" of events hinges on an apparently unimportant decision that you make near the start. Which really makes you think about life, and how seemingly inconsequential decisions that you made could have actually changed the course of your entire life (and those of all the people you affect), even if it's impossible to see it since we only live one timeline.

      If I remember correctly, there is also some huge tonal gap between the two paths - I think the one where you choose to go to whatever with that friend ends in some tragic self-sacrifice, and the other has like some goofy Scooby-Doo ending.

    It's a much older example and definitely pretty well known but in the PS1 Metal Gear Solid when Psycho Mantis reads your mind he is checking your save cards for both your performance in the game along with other Konami titles. If you have Symphony of the Night save data for example he deliberately says, "you like Castlevania, don't you?!"

    One game that altered the story and level goals depending on your actions was Tenchu: Fatal Shadows. Some levels had different little things you could do. How you killed the boss, which item did you pick up, etc would alter the next level’s goals in some way. You could then go back, do the other thing you needed to not/do, and unlock the alternative levels.

      A homage to Commandos is exactly what Shadow Tactics is, just with ninjas. And there's also Desperados 3, which is Commandos but in a Wild West setting. And if you don't mind going retro (as retro as Commandos 2 anyway) then I'm quite fond of "Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood" which is - you guessed it - Commandos but with a Robin Hood setting. It's on GOG for just a couple of bucks.

    Love stuff like this. I think my personal favorite is from Crosscode. Normal playthrough, there's an annoying guy named Apollo that accuses you of cheating, challenges you to several duels, and declares himself your rival. NG+ you keep all your gear and levels, and he points this out. Every single time. You basically are cheating now and all the other characters just shrug it off, which makes him madder, along with smug looks from the MC. It's hilarious.

      It's also a very well executed example.
      Spoiler: A character (the one sharing your skull) tells you that you that you can't save him and shouldn't bother trying, which really does a good job of convincing the player that there's no chance to save the other character who's in danger. But if you decide to try anyway, saving him is a straightforward affair (albeit having to fight your way through enemies).

    @2:32, where you're talking about games that reward beating a near-impossible enemy, I personally feel like Star Wars: The Fallen Order deserves a huge shout out here. Like when you first (and second) fight The Second Sister, if you bring her health down by a set amount, you get the cutscene saving your boots from the fire whether you were about to die or about to kick her butt. Granted, she downplays herself to lead you to the thing, but it's a nice reward from the devs basically telling you, "You got this, man. Let's just fast-forward to the story bit."

    Funny that you used that scene in Cyberpunk. Because that's the part of the story you can save someone and get that someone to accompany you by the end.
    Now that I think about it, Cyberpunk have a lot of these, but you haven't mentioned a single one. Like rescuing the former leader of Maelstrom, or siding with Maelstrom gives you a different quest later on in the game. Or skipping an entire building of enemy by finishing an unassuming gig first before doing a major story quest in which you can now skip by talking directly to the enemy boss. There's also a quest where you can entirely skip it by killing the one it revolves around the first time you meet and the people around this quest will comment on it and even the ads in the city will change because the main star died before they even had the chance to begin.

    Man MS-DOS, Arcade games, Super Nintendo, N64, PS1 90s gaming was such a vast range of creativity. I love the amount of risk they took on odd concepts in This era- as well as the PS2/360 era. It should show us that GRAPHICS/Reflections are not most important. No. If you can create satisfying movement, gameplay mechanics, physics effects, responsive parts of a environment, a environment that makes you want to explore it, engage it, etc. That stuff is so important. Not just "who can make the largest game world, or a game with the best Graphics." I think Art style, design, vibe, aesthetic is much more important. You don't need top notch graphics to greatly appreciate and enjoy playing that game. That's why we are seeing such a resurgence of players who have gone back to playing older games because they realize the aspects of gaming that they care about and are unhappy with in most modern games. So hopefully gaming will enter a new era. That mixes in aspects of the older era's. With our modern capabilities that will hopefully help make it easier to create a satisfying game. As well as a vast range of game's Instead of everything trying to be Triple AAA or free to play online battle Royale games..

    The interesting thing about optional bosses, and possibly ties into point #9. Is in Horizon Zero Dawn, there's a series of side-quests with the character Nil. And at the end of this line of side quests, you have the option to either fight him, or the option to decline fighting him.
    And it's something that gets acknowledged in Horizon Forbidden West, after finishing all the Gauntlet Runs. The problem is, this carry over only applies if you declined fighting him in Zero Dawn. Which (intentional or not) is an odd oversight, given there were two outcomes in Zero Dawn. But one remained canon apparently. I don't know, it's strange.

    Maybe an episode that is the opposite of this: things we can’t believe the devs didn’t think of. A prime example imho is that BL3 ignores that the player can be a siren, which should be a very different experience throughout that whole game in ways, including radically different scenes with NPCs, that aren’t a huge plot collision if playing any other vault hunter.

    I really like with CrossCode once you have beaten it and started a NG+ you have options to change certain stuff in the game. And based on some of the options you chose alot of dialog in the game is changed. Making it fun to play again without skipping dialog or cutscenes.

    Dragon Warrior actually gave you both ends of the spectrum. You got "But thou must" if you refuse to escort the princess back to the castle, but when you finally reached the final boss he asked you to join his side. If you answer "yes" then you do so and the game ends with no final fight (that or he instantly kills you... 10-year-old me was never quite sure).

    My personal favourite, and most rewarding, secret event happens in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Late in the game a mission starts off with your trusted friend and private helicopter pilot, Malik, getting shot down. As soon the helicopter crashes every one on comms is basically ordering to run as there are too many enemy units. Malik intends to sacrifice herself so you can carry out the mission. The game confirm she's dead because you'll find her corpse on the operating room of a Yakuza cyberware chop shop some time later.
    Being one to not listen to orders, I fought through that sequence for the better part of an hour to save her. To my surprise that earned me a secret achievement. Honestly I couldn't see myself doing anything else in the game as Malik seemed like such a good that I couldn't Jensen leaving her behind.

    Kinda like 1:31 in RDR2, there's a railroad quest where your stop the junior foreman from stealing money from the job. The developers provided that if you hogtie the culprit and take him to his boss, instead of letting him go, there's special dialog. It's difficult because the guards will shoot you if you run through the site with the junior foreman on your shoulder, but I just made it once without getting shot and thereby turning the whole area against me forever.

    Damn so many of these are unthought of. Great vid. Like I cant believe there were so many of these nuggests hidden away in games from my past.
    One that comes to mind is syphon filter dark mirror I think it was, for the psp, theres a mission near the start at the Refinery where gabe and lian have to work together, Lian ziplines and gabe has to cover her and tell her (by pressin a button) when to move up after you snipe some dudes. I swear I still think about this one to this day and lol inside. (After the coast is clear) if you keep pressing the button Gabe will yell: Ok Go! > Goo! > Go now! > Goooo! eventually Lian will get fed up and yell at him saying something like: Dammit Gabe, I hear you!
    I still play that out in my mind every now and then to this day. I love stuff like that in games.

    • @midnightgaming.9162

      And its more of a nostalgia thing from back when I was in highschool playing psp all the time. The game is pretty serious and really not that easy to beat, then theres this moment of comedy where you the MC can get on another characters last nerve. I only lol so hard because the game has these challenges for each stage like only using a knife, so a lot of replay, stealth, patience and serious action. I just feel like it'd be funnier for those who dumped more than a couple dozen hours into the game.

But if you rename to emiko. It will open the shrine door instead, but the main character will act smart and key in another wrong answer to trigger the trap anyway. But its extra dialogue and its funny. You only know the password at the end of the game through hints from reading books. There's no new game plus in this game.

    What I can't believe is how conditioned we are to microtransactions. Lately I've been playing a lot of older games and other stuff that just doesn't have a ton of online functionality (KSP, Elden Ring, the Mass Effect trilogy, the Uncharted games). And then I decided to try the free copy of Destiny 2 I got on playstation and man does it feel scummy. I never realized how bad it is until I got away from all the battle passes and shops. I've been a gamer a long time and the slow transition with adding shops and dlc and battle passes isn't something I ever thought too much about as they slowly came into existence, but going back and taking that immediate jump really puts things into perspective.

    In GTA: San Andreas, there's a mission called Ice Cold Killa, where you sneak into the club in San Fierro, wait for the pimp named "Jizzy" to take a phone call, then chase him down and steal the phone - this is made tougher by the fact that as you exit the club, he jumps into his pimpmobile, and you have to chase in a relatively hard-to-control limo...
    But - if you use a bomb or rocket (or just a load of bullets) to destroy Jizzy's car before entering the club, he will run out, see his car is gone, and steal a moped from a pizza delivery guy, making the chase a LOT easier!!!
