I like the new games but wish they were not “assassins creed” games. Should of just had a different name for this new series and left the assassins creed series be.
If I'm being honest syndicate was the last game i enjoyed and it was an Assassin's creed game not a knight creed game Stealth is gone now, i don't feel like an assassin anymore. Assassins are supposed to be stealthy and and blends in with the crowd. I also miss the Parkour which latest games ignore. Fast hooded, stealthy assassin running from rooftop to rooftop and killings targets within seconds is what supposed to be Assassins's creed
Maybe but he made the imposter much cooler than the original, making the real snake piss himself in the hospital, and most of original snakes accomplishments were fake, in 4 they made him a baby sat in a pod to be saved, helpless so considering all that 5 aint all that different, the real hero is the imposter
The Sonic the Hedgehog series can't make up its mind if it's set on Earth or another world, and whether Dr Eggman/Robotnik is the only human. Then there's the time Shadow the Hedgehog "died," or how Blaze the Cat was from another universe in Sonic Rush, but in Sonic 2006 she's from the future.
Well, since Mass Effect Andromeda is in a different Galaxy, they can make Mass Effect 4 continue the story in the Milky Way as in the original trilogy. And at a later date, they can do a Mass Effect Andromeda 2 storyline and continue the story in that galaxy. Simple.
He was just cool dude that wears sunglasses indoors in first game, but at the end he gets attacked and mortally wounded by proto-Tyrant, so he injects himself with perfected Progenitor virus, and as side effect he gets superpower. He shows up in this form first time in Code Veronica, which is actually RE3 in terms of continuity and cannon, Nemesis is actually suppose to be spinoff, but because Veronica was Dreamcast inclusive, they didn't want "number" in their title, unlike Sony, who could care less.
They should've had DedSec being the hacker group rather than inventing a new one for no reason. It could've been a nice nod considering Aiden was an Easter Egg in Assassin's Creed Origins.
To be fair, Resident Evil did have a game that kinda revolve around the fall of Umbrella Crop, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, which people mostly forget
Also, when Falcon says "Jill starts the game of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X", he meant Claire, since true Resident Evil fans know JILL IS NOT IN CODE VERONICA!!!
A while back I decided to look up the story of Resident Evil and I found a series of vids that spans 4 hours. This guy that did it does his absolute best to pull it together. It was crazy but gotta give it to the guy who put that kind of time to put that convoluted story together
"xe na hort" lol KH's story isn't that complicated, people just don't want to play all of the games/think they are side stories as opposed to mainline installments
They could say Mass Effect Andromeda is in fact just a stand alone spinoff in the same universe, rather than a direct sequel, thus protecting their chosen timeline.
Andromeda makes that quite clear. The Arks leave the Milky Way between the events of ME2 and ME3. By the time they reach Andromeda, what happened in ME3 is already over. In a way, its a branching time line thats not dependent on the players choices of ME3. Its a shame Bioware designed the game as part of a new trilogy rather than a stand alone game though. That was the formula that made ME1 and 2 so great. They stood on their own as a singular stories inside of a bigger world. Andromeda was designed from the start to be a story broken into multiple games. Their own ambition ruined them in a way
I wouldn't say they abandoned it more like ended it prematurely especially since it's been confirmed watchdogs and Assassin's creed are a shared universe and we're getting a playable assassin in legion so many great things could've happened but instead we get some no name assassin in a futuristic London
@@doctorwrath1588 ah..but that would be spoiling it... I still have hope to one day make one using that story... However, I can tell you that it would connect to the subject 16 message and ending message in brotherhood..
Andromeda launched as a mess, but it's a very good game now, and the novels are just as good as the original books and comics. I will die on this hill :D
@@MrAcehood321 I very rarely defend games that get "review bombed", cause there's usually a valid reason why it happens, but Andromeda got raked over the coals badly, when it wasn't even that bad. At Launch, even Angry Joe gave it a 7, and said if you were a big ME fan, it could *MAYBE* be an 8. And that was at launch when it was at its worst. Never mind how good it is now. The only thing that upsets me is that all the DLC got scrapped. The novels were and still are great, but I'd have loved to played more in Andromeda. Ask me about some of my fan theories I have about it lol :)
@@ThatCerberusGuy i was sooo loking forward to the dlc as well. Was upset they scraped it. I really hope they go back there so many unanswered questions. I find it rare to find people who like me:a
Loved all of the ME games and I, too, couldn't understand why Andromeda got shit on so badly. Yes, buggy af, but patched and working great now. The story was genuinely interesting to me as well. Truthfully, I think many ME fans were half-expecting to get a slight time jump and get to experience the old Normandy crew again after "the choice" was made with a continued save file. But when we got a COMPLETELY new story and only miniscule references to the old ME games (and you gotta look for those most of the time), people were just butthurt. The twin thing was kinda weird, but it worked out, and the "father had a historical legacy" aspect was interesting as well. Never read any of the books, but I thoroughly enjoyed Andromeda and hate that it gets so much flak.
As soon as he mentioned KH I immediately thought of 2.8 Final Chapter Prolouge. Lmaooo like when they basically explained how Mickey didn’t have a shirt in KH1.
Yeah KINGDOM HEARTS. series definitely has one Fked up convoluted plot line - I remember someone asked the KH creative leads & devs to explain the story that led up to KH3 .... they could not do it ... it’s hilarious to see that 😂
As a matter of fact Todd Howard indeed wanted Oblivion to be more generic fantasy like. The world was in a mild fantasy craze after the Lord of the Rings saga finished, so they wanted to double down on this, according to an intervierw with some of the developers.
well yes but actually no. Tiber Septim achieved Chim, a state in TES where you realize that you actually exist within the dream of another being, and instead of simply wiping yourself out of existence because you realize you dont exist, you are so self absorbed you instead decide that you exist and then gain power beyond what even the gods do as the gods exist only withing this dream and do not realize this. Chim basically lets you control existence with no issue and very little effort. only three individuals in lore are said to have achieved Chim, Vivvec, Tiber Septim, and its suspected that the third is one of the 15 different Manimmarcos that exist in TES because that is a headache on its own.
Jun surviving Reach doesn’t conflict with Chief being the last Spartan-II since Jun was a Spartan-III. But the other Spartan-II’s from Halo 5 totally do break that continuity.
For the whole "Imperial Provence is Forrest" thing, it's not just some guy with magic changing the landscape, Its a literal god (F U thalmor and W.G Concordat) altering history to make it never have been a Forrest, with those books being some weird leftover. (I blame Herma mora)
Halo Reach is actually based on the book "The Fall of Reach" by Eric Nylund It was a book published in 2001. Game came out 9 years later. They didn't make new spartans....because the original ones were all selected and kidnapped at around age 5 or 6. They would find the most athletic kids with the best leadership abilities, and abduct them. They replaced them with a clone that would die in a couple of days so that nobody would suspect that the kid was actually kidnapped. The kids were basically tortured during training and a lot of them did not make it through the process. (that's low key why they were called spartans btw). There was one part where they get put in a tank and it's like subjected to high pressure or something and it ends up deforming a lot of the people. "make or break" type of thing. Those spartans who were disfigured were placed in support roles. It doesn't make sense lore wise for there to be more spartans. The Fall of Reach already answered the question of "why didn't they just train more spartans" It's because Spartans are the result of torturing children.
Yeah, I read that book too. You got some things wrong. Yes, they were kidnapped and replaced with clones, but they lasted longer. Maybe up to a few years. If they'd all died within a few days, it would have been found out pretty quick. They were not tortured during training. It's called training for a reason. Harsh to put kids through that kind of training, certainly. But not torture. Every standing army has the same kind of boot camp and special forces training is a special kind of hell. As Spartans were meant to be the best, their training reflected that. Some were broken and 'retired' to a private facility, but few died. They were, after all, also chosen for being smart. Dumb kids that would make stupid mistakes were not chosen for the program. 'Put in a tank and subjected to high pressure ...' is so full of crap it's depressing. They were given growth hormones and other treatments to enhance the density of their muscles and bones. From my understanding, it was never stated how many died in that process, but it was at least a third. More were deformed and 'retired' as well. The rest went on to enhanced training so they could get used to their new, larger, more muscular and heavier bodies and learn how to best put them to use. Yes, the Spartan II's were kidnapped children. They were not tortured. They were not subjected to experiments. They went through years of hard, grueling training that most grown men would break under. Cruel, yes. All that other shit? No. Also, the majority of Noble Team in Halo: Reach were Spartan III's, with few exceptions. Another note - they did get more Spartans. The III's for example, were 'volunteers' from the ranks of regular or elite troops in the UNSC during the war years. It was a thirty year long war, after all, before the Halo's were discovered. Also the IV's came about after the war, after the Chief was lost at the end of Halo 3. Buck was an ODST in the game of that name and in Halo 5 was a Spartan. Locke was an asset for ONI during the war. Not sure what the rest of Osiris Team was doing, but there were plenty of other Spartans trained after the II's. And let's be clear here. The original Spartan project resulted in every subject dying in truly horrific ways that not even the book authors or game writers or anyone else had the balls to describe, so the Spartan II project was thought out to an insane degree before it was ever even considered as a viable option. Basically, if you're going to spout facts like that, make sure you get it right. Giving a half assed read of one book a long time ago does not make you an expert on lore. Doing some freaking research on it does.
Man, when you mentioned KH. I feel ya, my dude. I feel ya. As for Andromeda, I might be in a minority but honestly, I kinda like it. Its Bioware trying to expand the ME lore outside of the ME lore (post-Shepard) so Im actually pretty bummed out that the next one will continue Shepard's story rather than continuing or expanding Andromeda's lore.
Andromeda existed as a spin-off, much like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Voyager, and a way to continue (not the story but) the ME universe after Shep's battle against the Reapers. The story wasn't even that bad; humans fed up with political crap and afraid of things to come so fled elsewhere with a band of others. It had some impressive semi-open world gameplay with some intense action and great characters, bugs that were HEAVILY patched (although I pre-ordered the game and all I experienced was Ryder spinning in a circle) and yet people decided to hate it, drive down sales, etc. Well, the company in charge isn't gonna pursue it further because players chose to hate it since day 1. Hate to say it but I found ME1 to be much less enjoyable with it's repetitive level layout when assaulting bases, good story but boring gameplay. ME2 was a HUGE improvement but sadly we will never see what could've been in ME:A2... -Mad Wolf
I love that game as well. I think most of the hate came from people who were, let's say, disappointed that they weren't able to play Commander Shepard and find out if they picked the "right" ending. It looks like the next game will resurrect Shepard so we'll see how that goes.
Assassins creed had soooo much potential.... also with halo the books were written with help from the original halo creators with their ideas and approval
Master Chief was never the last spartan, he just thought he was. He originally believed during the event of the first Halo game that Linda and him were the only surviving spartans of the fall of reach and he also was loosing hope in Linda's survival due to the Pillar of Autumn not having the proper medical equipment to save her. In the First Strike novel which takes place immediately after the events of Halo, Master Chief returns to Reach and gets the remaining spartans out of there and getting Linda some medical attention. I know this a "well actually" post but I did want to correct the error.
I'm thankful for the change of Cyrodill I likely woulda never gotten into RPGs if it wasn't for Oblivion plus that change came with a lot of lore which I'm heavily invested in now
Kingdom hearts for sure deserves a spot on this list. The story goes in 1000 different directions. Edit: i made this comment before finishing video, good job gameranx. Makes me proud lol
The master chief thing could be explained as Master chief was the last remaining spartan in active duty, or the last hyper lethal one(Only 2 carry this rating, one being chief and the other being noble six). Or it could be the last spartan with an AI companion.
in case anyone is curious about the elder scrolls thing, he didn't just "use magic" he became an actual God and transformed Cyrodiil permanently across the entire timeline essentially rewriting history. That's why it makes sense for it to also be that way in the elder scrolls online.
And you bet the elves in the new one will claim they stopped the dragons and the dragonborn was a fake just a former grey beard student who was against the true heroes and claim they were still superior
@@raptorfromthe6ix833 because they didnt want to i guess. in elder scrolls lore a legendary hero can "Mantle" a God meaning they embody that god so well that they *become* that god replacing the entity with themselves. Tiber Septim did this to become Talos and changed Cyrodiil's landscape throughout time. The player character "mantles" Sheogorath in the oblivion DLC "The Shivering Isles" and becomes the God of that realm.
I would have just stopped at the Dranei part on the Warcraft entry. That's probably the single biggest retcon in the history of video games ever. It changed the fate of 3 major factions, fleshed out the universe spanning demon army that has been main antagonists for 4 of the 8 expansions and completely rewrote the backstory behind 2 separate planets.
The heartless have always been described as the stolen hearts of people who fell to fear and darkness since the first game (reason being they were gathering hearts to reach/summon the kingdom of hearts) in the second you see whats created once "you lose your heart", the creation of nobodies (empty carcases). In the games theres many documents explaining everything, although it does get kind of tedious. And the organization XIII aren't all versions of xenahort... only one is, Roxas for example is Sora's nobody (of when he briefly became a heartless) like Axel is the one of Lea...
I feel that Venom Snake's stort did make the overall story make more sense, it's just the details and chronological order of it all that caused mass confusion
When I first played Assassins Creed I was astonished and engaged as I have never played a "serious" game up until that point in my life and really thought Ubisoft had the greatest concept ever for a videogames series and then all of the sudden they just pulled the plug on the invisible war and didn't care anymore. My love for videogames started thanks to AC and thanks to Ubisoft it also died with AC. I just sincerely wish that the rumors about a reboot are completely false and Valhalla becomes the last nail in the coffin for this beloved franchise of mine
I’m a huge Resident Evil fan, but I couldn’t help myself to laugh how silly you explained the changes. I agreed with what you were talking about. We never got to see the main characters fighting Umbrella at all. Only for Chris vs Wesker, but we were explaining something like the main characters trying to defeat umbrella. RE2, RE: Code Veronica, and RE3 were close enough.
You are correct. Chief was described as the last surviving Spartan 2 but the video messed up the description and lumped all the Spartan generations together.
Fun fact about Mass effect 3s ending: it's not the ending that bioware wanted to use. The original ending sadly didn't happen because of time. And also because EA told bioware to use the ending that we ended up getting, simply because EA didn't like it. The original plan for the ending was to tell us (Shepherd) why the reapers were killing everyone. And to show/tell the dangers of mass effect fields and how using said fields as much and as long everyone was, would result in the galaxy or even the universe being destroyed. And saying that the reapers have done this at least 8 times (something like that)
I did love Andromeda for the first 20-30 hours, and I was like "Why is everybody hating this game?!" But it really feels like they droped the ball somewhere in the middle. I'd love to see a Mass Effect Andromeda 2, but I think media business in general doesn't pick up projects that went down badly.
For the Elder Scrolls entry, the change did go across time. The in universe explanation says the change happend in the past, present, and future. I don't recall how the author of this in universe book explains how anyone remembers, or how he found enough info to make the book in the 1st place though.
The real problem with the Mass Effect ending was that THEY LIED TO US. Somehow, everyone seems to have forgotten that a MASSIVE part of the ME hype was that A) Your choices carry from one game to the next, and B) ALL of your choices, even from the first game, would impact your ending. The idea of needing a completed playthrough save file of the first two games to take full advantage of the myriad different endings was something that everyone was excited about. It was like getting a super-sized sci-fi Chrono Trigger. And what did they deliver? None of your choices matter at all in the ending. Choose Option A for red explosions, Option B for blue explosions, and Option C for yellow explosions.
I remember when ME3 released and after all the amazing buildup and story decisions, the ending boiled down to 3 dang options, and the only difference was how you wanted to DIE
Tbf the AC one was quite small as its just optional emails u can find, which is the same in 2, I thought it was going to be how the story has gone from assassins vs templars throughout real history with a mysterious first civilisation connection, to generic RPGs with loose ties to kinda-assassins and set in mythical history with dialogue options meaning the animus makes no sense now, as player choice isn't reliving memories
Btetcon invaded Kvatch and made everything always have been that way. The reason some books describe it as a jungle is simply because the Moth Priests read about it in an Elder Scroll which Bretcon couldnt affect
You say they're going to ignore Andromeda but honestly probably not. They STARTED Mass Effect 3 stumbling out of the gate because the VERY FIRST THING they did was dive into how Shepard is in trouble for something they did in a DLC mission in the previous game that most people didn't play. Most people were completely baffled because they virtually don't explain it at all but then that got entirely overshadowed by the ending of the series. Point being it's a super weird decision to make about your mainline story. Imagine if in between Harry Potter 2 & 3 they released a short novella in only a small market where Harry suddenly becomes a werewolf and then three starts with him just rampaging in werewolf form. It's only referenced very briefly in throw away scenes that tell you nothing before eventually fading into irrelevance because we have better things to do.
I'm not too mad about Resident Evil, considering what 5 explains too. Plus the new Umbrella in 7 and 8 still not being trusted by Chris is a good way to respect his character.
Kinda wish AC followed up on that Post Apocalyptic thing, like maybe symbolizing that the Templars and Assassins finally broke the future or something from their endless meddling in regular people's affairs
9:37 jammed that round peg into the square hole. Plot twist: Maybe they should've jammed that square peg into that round hole instead. I'm here all day folks
Kingdom Hearts makes sense if you go through ALL the obscure games, which is kinda difficult as most of the servers went off line. but yeah, lots of subtleties and inferences can be made about what is actually happening without those obscure games anyway. Everyone is X or they are Sora, and Sora is pure of heart, while X is either corrupted or too focused on his desires such that the ends justify the means. Meanwhile Disney.
Honestly i love how the imperial province turned out in oblivion as it kind of made sense. There were different biomes depending on the surrounding provinces like down by leyawin(or however they spelled it) was swamplands because of black marsh and freezing and tundra like near bruma that borders the jerral mountains of Skyrim. Sure they didn’t have it for all provinces like elswyer being jungles and that’s probably because of what falcon said in technical limits but it was nice with how diverse it was.
The reason why there's the scene with the crash landed Normandy is because if you caused too many squad mates to die then there wouldn't be enough people to help rebuild the ship thereby leaving them stranded, as for the mass relays if your war assets aren't high enough then there won't be enough allied to rebuild the relays, and the machine/organic storyline started all the way back in ME1
The Kingdom Hearts change that actually bothers me is the key blade. You are lead to believe that Sora has the only one, and that only he can use it. Didn't bother me too much when Riku could use it, he is connected to Sora. I even remember gasping when it was revealed that King Mickey had a key blade as well, but the way it's revealed and it's coloring lead you to think it's like a 'counterpart' to the one you have. Then number 2 comes along and suddenly Sore has 2 of them when he unleashes a special power. I must admit that other than trying Chain of memories, I stopped playing. I saw a commercial for a new one that showed a field full of key blades, and was so annoyed that I lost interest.
“Cartoonishly evil pharmaceutical company.” Have you seen how actual pharmaceutical companies act? Nothing cartoonish about Umbrella, i’d Say it’s HIGHLY accurate.
I love Mass Effect, and Andromeda was amazing…. I was broke when it came out, so I didn’t play it till later and the bugs were already fixed- any then it was gold… too bad it’s first impression when it rolled out was so awful… Bc I’d love a sequel
The draenei are the Eredar that escaped from their home after Sargeras corrupts everyone. They call themselves draenei wich means exiles. The draenei from warcraft 3, are the draenei that stayed on draenor ( outland ) and survived the orcs onslaught. They became week and started to call themselves " broken " they tried to survive as best as they could and meet illidan and the Blood elves and start to work with them. The draenei you play on world of warcraft, are the draenei that fled using the Exodar ( the ship that they used to escape Argus, their homeworld ) from outland just before the enraged orcs being manipulated by kil'jaeden decimated shattrath City. And they crash on azeroth. After they crash, they see that the orcs are there too, but the alliance comes to their aid. Made a big resume there, hope i helped understand. I read on the books. They are awesome for those who like the games.
To be fair to Resident Evil... they later released a game where Chris and Jill and a squad take down the last remnant of umbrella in between Code Veronica and 4 so at least they retroactively retconned the retcon
honestly i was okay with the extended cut. and ignoring andromeda would make sense. andromeda was a whole different story anyway. they left before the final attack to find a new home in case the worst happened. at best andromeda could be mentioned in the new game as a thing that happened then ignored until/if they decide to make andromeda 2.
Mass effect Andromeda can be ignored cause it takes place in an entirely different galaxy. You leave prior to the major battle with the reapers and are then in stasis until hundreds of years later meaning any thing they do after ME3 in the Milkyway Galaxy doesn't have to acknowledge Andromeda in any way shape or form if they don't want to. The whole Andromeda initiative was a Cerberus black op initiative that could follow its own unique story line without affecting the continuity of anything that is planned after ME3 in the Milkyway. Just saying...
I appreciate Barry's Kingdom Hearts explanation video still being the top one in a search. 😆 Also the fact that the little scroll through all those explanation videos here both starts and ends with a Barry Kingdom Hearts video. 😂

Andromeda makes that quite clear. The Arks leave the Milky Way between the events of ME2 and ME3. By the time they reach Andromeda, what happened in ME3 is already over. In a way, its a branching time line thats not dependent on the players choices of ME3. Its a shame Bioware designed the game as part of a new trilogy rather than a stand alone game though. That was the formula that made ME1 and 2 so great. They stood on their own as a singular stories inside of a bigger world. Andromeda was designed from the start to be a story broken into multiple games. Their own ambition ruined them in a way
Can we talk about the halo 5 story where the advertising didn’t even match the game
Man... I had such a cool idea for the modern day story of Desmond miles....if only they had not abandoned the one good plotline of Assassins Creed...
Let's hear it out dude
I wouldn't say they abandoned it more like ended it prematurely especially since it's been confirmed watchdogs and Assassin's creed are a shared universe and we're getting a playable assassin in legion so many great things could've happened but instead we get some no name assassin in a futuristic London
@@doctorwrath1588 ah..but that would be spoiling it... I still have hope to one day make one using that story...
However, I can tell you that it would connect to the subject 16 message and ending message in brotherhood..
Andromeda launched as a mess, but it's a very good game now, and the novels are just as good as the original books and comics. I will die on this hill :D
i am sick of how many people just hate on andromeda i actually enjoyed it even tho it had bugs
@@MrAcehood321 I very rarely defend games that get "review bombed", cause there's usually a valid reason why it happens, but Andromeda got raked over the coals badly, when it wasn't even that bad. At Launch, even Angry Joe gave it a 7, and said if you were a big ME fan, it could *MAYBE* be an 8. And that was at launch when it was at its worst. Never mind how good it is now. The only thing that upsets me is that all the DLC got scrapped. The novels were and still are great, but I'd have loved to played more in Andromeda. Ask me about some of my fan theories I have about it lol :)
@@ThatCerberusGuy i was sooo loking forward to the dlc as well. Was upset they scraped it. I really hope they go back there so many unanswered questions. I find it rare to find people who like me:a
@@MrAcehood321 I also like Andromeda. Fun times!
Loved all of the ME games and I, too, couldn't understand why Andromeda got shit on so badly. Yes, buggy af, but patched and working great now. The story was genuinely interesting to me as well. Truthfully, I think many ME fans were half-expecting to get a slight time jump and get to experience the old Normandy crew again after "the choice" was made with a continued save file. But when we got a COMPLETELY new story and only miniscule references to the old ME games (and you gotta look for those most of the time), people were just butthurt. The twin thing was kinda weird, but it worked out, and the "father had a historical legacy" aspect was interesting as well. Never read any of the books, but I thoroughly enjoyed Andromeda and hate that it gets so much flak.
As soon as he said Kingdom Hearts I started laughing and people looked at me
Omg, same.
I lost it at zena-hort
As soon as he mentioned KH I immediately thought of 2.8 Final Chapter Prolouge. Lmaooo like when they basically explained how Mickey didn’t have a shirt in KH1.
SAME LMAO 🤣🤣
Yeah KINGDOM HEARTS. series definitely has one Fked up convoluted plot line - I remember someone asked the KH creative leads & devs to explain the story that led up to KH3 .... they could not do it ... it’s hilarious to see that 😂
As a matter of fact Todd Howard indeed wanted Oblivion to be more generic fantasy like. The world was in a mild fantasy craze after the Lord of the Rings saga finished, so they wanted to double down on this, according to an intervierw with some of the developers.
“A Cottage Industry of TH-camrs” made me laugh for some reason
On number 9 yes Tiber septum did remove the trees and jungle from the entire timeline because he achieved a godlike state
well yes but actually no. Tiber Septim achieved Chim, a state in TES where you realize that you actually exist within the dream of another being, and instead of simply wiping yourself out of existence because you realize you dont exist, you are so self absorbed you instead decide that you exist and then gain power beyond what even the gods do as the gods exist only withing this dream and do not realize this.
Chim basically lets you control existence with no issue and very little effort. only three individuals in lore are said to have achieved Chim, Vivvec, Tiber Septim, and its suspected that the third is one of the 15 different Manimmarcos that exist in TES because that is a headache on its own.
Jun surviving Reach doesn’t conflict with Chief being the last Spartan-II since Jun was a Spartan-III. But the other Spartan-II’s from Halo 5 totally do break that continuity.
This is really similar to a video Outsode Xbox uploaded earlier today. What a happy coincidence!
For the whole "Imperial Provence is Forrest" thing, it's not just some guy with magic changing the landscape, Its a literal god (F U thalmor and W.G Concordat) altering history to make it never have been a Forrest, with those books being some weird leftover. (I blame Herma mora)
I like how Falcon calls Xehanort "Xenahort". It actually sounds way better in my opinion lol.
Halo Reach is actually based on the book "The Fall of Reach" by Eric Nylund
It was a book published in 2001. Game came out 9 years later.
They didn't make new spartans....because the original ones were all selected and kidnapped at around age 5 or 6. They would find the most athletic kids with the best leadership abilities, and abduct them. They replaced them with a clone that would die in a couple of days so that nobody would suspect that the kid was actually kidnapped.
The kids were basically tortured during training and a lot of them did not make it through the process. (that's low key why they were called spartans btw). There was one part where they get put in a tank and it's like subjected to high pressure or something and it ends up deforming a lot of the people. "make or break" type of thing. Those spartans who were disfigured were placed in support roles.
It doesn't make sense lore wise for there to be more spartans. The Fall of Reach already answered the question of "why didn't they just train more spartans"
It's because Spartans are the result of torturing children.
Yeah, I read that book too. You got some things wrong. Yes, they were kidnapped and replaced with clones, but they lasted longer. Maybe up to a few years. If they'd all died within a few days, it would have been found out pretty quick. They were not tortured during training. It's called training for a reason. Harsh to put kids through that kind of training, certainly. But not torture. Every standing army has the same kind of boot camp and special forces training is a special kind of hell. As Spartans were meant to be the best, their training reflected that. Some were broken and 'retired' to a private facility, but few died. They were, after all, also chosen for being smart. Dumb kids that would make stupid mistakes were not chosen for the program. 'Put in a tank and subjected to high pressure ...' is so full of crap it's depressing. They were given growth hormones and other treatments to enhance the density of their muscles and bones. From my understanding, it was never stated how many died in that process, but it was at least a third. More were deformed and 'retired' as well. The rest went on to enhanced training so they could get used to their new, larger, more muscular and heavier bodies and learn how to best put them to use. Yes, the Spartan II's were kidnapped children. They were not tortured. They were not subjected to experiments. They went through years of hard, grueling training that most grown men would break under. Cruel, yes. All that other shit? No. Also, the majority of Noble Team in Halo: Reach were Spartan III's, with few exceptions. Another note - they did get more Spartans. The III's for example, were 'volunteers' from the ranks of regular or elite troops in the UNSC during the war years. It was a thirty year long war, after all, before the Halo's were discovered. Also the IV's came about after the war, after the Chief was lost at the end of Halo 3. Buck was an ODST in the game of that name and in Halo 5 was a Spartan. Locke was an asset for ONI during the war. Not sure what the rest of Osiris Team was doing, but there were plenty of other Spartans trained after the II's. And let's be clear here. The original Spartan project resulted in every subject dying in truly horrific ways that not even the book authors or game writers or anyone else had the balls to describe, so the Spartan II project was thought out to an insane degree before it was ever even considered as a viable option.
Basically, if you're going to spout facts like that, make sure you get it right. Giving a half assed read of one book a long time ago does not make you an expert on lore. Doing some freaking research on it does.
Man, when you mentioned KH. I feel ya, my dude. I feel ya.
As for Andromeda, I might be in a minority but honestly, I kinda like it. Its Bioware trying to expand the ME lore outside of the ME lore (post-Shepard) so Im actually pretty bummed out that the next one will continue Shepard's story rather than continuing or expanding Andromeda's lore.
Falcon is on a tear lately, keep the vids coming my man🙏
Andromeda existed as a spin-off, much like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Voyager, and a way to continue (not the story but) the ME universe after Shep's battle against the Reapers. The story wasn't even that bad; humans fed up with political crap and afraid of things to come so fled elsewhere with a band of others. It had some impressive semi-open world gameplay with some intense action and great characters, bugs that were HEAVILY patched (although I pre-ordered the game and all I experienced was Ryder spinning in a circle) and yet people decided to hate it, drive down sales, etc. Well, the company in charge isn't gonna pursue it further because players chose to hate it since day 1.
Hate to say it but I found ME1 to be much less enjoyable with it's repetitive level layout when assaulting bases, good story but boring gameplay. ME2 was a HUGE improvement but sadly we will never see what could've been in ME:A2...
-Mad Wolf
I love that game as well. I think most of the hate came from people who were, let's say, disappointed that they weren't able to play Commander Shepard and find out if they picked the "right" ending. It looks like the next game will resurrect Shepard so we'll see how that goes.
I tried playing this game, but the lights are too bright
Assassins creed had soooo much potential.... also with halo the books were written with help from the original halo creators with their ideas and approval
Master Chief was never the last spartan, he just thought he was. He originally believed during the event of the first Halo game that Linda and him were the only surviving spartans of the fall of reach and he also was loosing hope in Linda's survival due to the Pillar of Autumn not having the proper medical equipment to save her. In the First Strike novel which takes place immediately after the events of Halo, Master Chief returns to Reach and gets the remaining spartans out of there and getting Linda some medical attention. I know this a "well actually" post but I did want to correct the error.
Thanks
I'm thankful for the change of Cyrodill I likely woulda never gotten into RPGs if it wasn't for Oblivion plus that change came with a lot of lore which I'm heavily invested in now
I don’t have time to game anymore but I love gameranx vids so much they are relaxing asf
You have to admit, the addition of Venom Snake is a better explanation than "Big Boss magically survived"
Definitely.
Kingdom hearts for sure deserves a spot on this list. The story goes in 1000 different directions.
Edit: i made this comment before finishing video, good job gameranx. Makes me proud lol
The master chief thing could be explained as Master chief was the last remaining spartan in active duty, or the last hyper lethal one(Only 2 carry this rating, one being chief and the other being noble six). Or it could be the last spartan with an AI companion.
in case anyone is curious about the elder scrolls thing, he didn't just "use magic" he became an actual God and transformed Cyrodiil permanently across the entire timeline essentially rewriting history. That's why it makes sense for it to also be that way in the elder scrolls online.
And you bet the elves in the new one will claim they stopped the dragons and the dragonborn was a fake just a former grey beard student who was against the true heroes and claim they were still superior
why couldnt they say they just urbanized as the city began developing due to empires control of tamriel
@@raptorfromthe6ix833 because they didnt want to i guess. in elder scrolls lore a legendary hero can "Mantle" a God meaning they embody that god so well that they *become* that god replacing the entity with themselves. Tiber Septim did this to become Talos and changed Cyrodiil's landscape throughout time. The player character "mantles" Sheogorath in the oblivion DLC "The Shivering Isles" and becomes the God of that realm.
I liked andromeda. But I also played it months after it came out, so not many animation bugs.
I would have just stopped at the Dranei part on the Warcraft entry. That's probably the single biggest retcon in the history of video games ever. It changed the fate of 3 major factions, fleshed out the universe spanning demon army that has been main antagonists for 4 of the 8 expansions and completely rewrote the backstory behind 2 separate planets.
The heartless have always been described as the stolen hearts of people who fell to fear and darkness since the first game (reason being they were gathering hearts to reach/summon the kingdom of hearts) in the second you see whats created once "you lose your heart", the creation of nobodies (empty carcases). In the games theres many documents explaining everything, although it does get kind of tedious. And the organization XIII aren't all versions of xenahort... only one is, Roxas for example is Sora's nobody (of when he briefly became a heartless) like Axel is the one of Lea...
The Kingdom Hearts series has always been rife with plot contrivances and retcons regardless.
I feel that Venom Snake's stort did make the overall story make more sense, it's just the details and chronological order of it all that caused mass confusion
After Desmond Ubisoft didn't know what to do so they went along with it each year which kept messing up the story even more
When I first played Assassins Creed I was astonished and engaged as I have never played a "serious" game up until that point in my life and really thought Ubisoft had the greatest concept ever for a videogames series and then all of the sudden they just pulled the plug on the invisible war and didn't care anymore. My love for videogames started thanks to AC and thanks to Ubisoft it also died with AC. I just sincerely wish that the rumors about a reboot are completely false and Valhalla becomes the last nail in the coffin for this beloved franchise of mine
Why?
You could sense the heaviness when Falcon said Kingdom hearts
Love that there's so much good content from you guys, that I can always binge videos
I’m a huge Resident Evil fan, but I couldn’t help myself to laugh how silly you explained the changes. I agreed with what you were talking about. We never got to see the main characters fighting Umbrella at all. Only for Chris vs Wesker, but we were explaining something like the main characters trying to defeat umbrella. RE2, RE: Code Veronica, and RE3 were close enough.
I thought Jun was a spartan 3. George was the only Spartan 2 in the squad, the rest were Saprtan 3's
You are correct. Chief was described as the last surviving Spartan 2 but the video messed up the description and lumped all the Spartan generations together.
How about ps2 era games that need a sequel/reboot?
Fun fact about Mass effect 3s ending: it's not the ending that bioware wanted to use.
The original ending sadly didn't happen because of time. And also because EA told bioware to use the ending that we ended up getting, simply because EA didn't like it.
The original plan for the ending was to tell us (Shepherd) why the reapers were killing everyone. And to show/tell the dangers of mass effect fields and how using said fields as much and as long everyone was, would result in the galaxy or even the universe being destroyed.
And saying that the reapers have done this at least 8 times (something like that)
Warrior cyborg Jesus. Best description
So glad you mentioned Warcraft. I don't think any story has been retconned more than Warcraft.
I'm probably the only one, but I would really like a Mass Effect Andromeda 2. The game finish on a cliffhanger and it boders me.
I did love Andromeda for the first 20-30 hours, and I was like "Why is everybody hating this game?!" But it really feels like they droped the ball somewhere in the middle. I'd love to see a Mass Effect Andromeda 2, but I think media business in general doesn't pick up projects that went down badly.
I found it incredibly boring super hard to get into
The trilogy was amazing tho
It just felt empty. There was no reason to get more settlements because settlements didn’t do anything
These videos are a breathe of fresh air in comparison to the average gaming reviews that flood the spectrum. I’ll be tuning in regularly. Rock on.
Love the channel homie
That football punt of dmc 2 got me.
Kingdom Hearts. Just everything. This made me laugh too hard with that sigh 🤣
Falcon’s not wrong though
RIP Umbrella... destroyed between games without the players consent.
Me who has replayed through the ME games multiple times clinging on to the Indoctrination Theory for my own sanity 😌
For the Elder Scrolls entry, the change did go across time. The in universe explanation says the change happend in the past, present, and future. I don't recall how the author of this in universe book explains how anyone remembers, or how he found enough info to make the book in the 1st place though.
I actually loves Andromeda. It's completely separate from the original series and I'm OK with that
it’s so crazy how dated those WOW rendered videos look. I remember the cutscenes being the most realistic thing i’d ever seen at one point
How did you and outside Xbox put out pretty much the same video on the same day?
The real problem with the Mass Effect ending was that THEY LIED TO US. Somehow, everyone seems to have forgotten that a MASSIVE part of the ME hype was that A) Your choices carry from one game to the next, and B) ALL of your choices, even from the first game, would impact your ending. The idea of needing a completed playthrough save file of the first two games to take full advantage of the myriad different endings was something that everyone was excited about. It was like getting a super-sized sci-fi Chrono Trigger.
And what did they deliver? None of your choices matter at all in the ending. Choose Option A for red explosions, Option B for blue explosions, and Option C for yellow explosions.
I remember when ME3 released and after all the amazing buildup and story decisions, the ending boiled down to 3 dang options, and the only difference was how you wanted to DIE
Tbf the AC one was quite small as its just optional emails u can find, which is the same in 2, I thought it was going to be how the story has gone from assassins vs templars throughout real history with a mysterious first civilisation connection, to generic RPGs with loose ties to kinda-assassins and set in mythical history with dialogue options meaning the animus makes no sense now, as player choice isn't reliving memories
About Draenei;
The ones in WC are the Broken/Lost One. They appear in TBC as well. ie Akama.
Btetcon invaded Kvatch and made everything always have been that way. The reason some books describe it as a jungle is simply because the Moth Priests read about it in an Elder Scroll which Bretcon couldnt affect
Loved mass effect andromeda. Great game and story. Fact! People who dislike it are stuck in the sheppard loop.
Thisnis why I love Falcon right at the end “Why Does Mass Effect Andromeda even EXSIST”
Watching these videos without audio is quite an experience.
You say they're going to ignore Andromeda but honestly probably not. They STARTED Mass Effect 3 stumbling out of the gate because the VERY FIRST THING they did was dive into how Shepard is in trouble for something they did in a DLC mission in the previous game that most people didn't play. Most people were completely baffled because they virtually don't explain it at all but then that got entirely overshadowed by the ending of the series. Point being it's a super weird decision to make about your mainline story. Imagine if in between Harry Potter 2 & 3 they released a short novella in only a small market where Harry suddenly becomes a werewolf and then three starts with him just rampaging in werewolf form. It's only referenced very briefly in throw away scenes that tell you nothing before eventually fading into irrelevance because we have better things to do.
Gameranx: videos remind of the old "game pro' mags...I love it...thank u gameranx👍🏿😎
I'm not too mad about Resident Evil, considering what 5 explains too. Plus the new Umbrella in 7 and 8 still not being trusted by Chris is a good way to respect his character.
Kinda wish AC followed up on that Post Apocalyptic thing, like maybe symbolizing that the Templars and Assassins finally broke the future or something from their endless meddling in regular people's affairs
I knew this would be a falcon video
I feel anytime it shows or has something with assassins creed, it's a falcon video
Facon's point of view on kingdom hearts is how most players feel about the storyline. That closing statement was too funny. lol
9:37 jammed that round peg into the square hole.
Plot twist:
Maybe they should've jammed that square peg into that round hole instead.
I'm here all day folks
Kingdom Hearts makes sense if you go through ALL the obscure games, which is kinda difficult as most of the servers went off line. but yeah, lots of subtleties and inferences can be made about what is actually happening without those obscure games anyway. Everyone is X or they are Sora, and Sora is pure of heart, while X is either corrupted or too focused on his desires such that the ends justify the means. Meanwhile Disney.
Imagine if the next Watch Dogs game somehow involves that hacker group mentioned in the Assassin's Creed series
Honestly i love how the imperial province turned out in oblivion as it kind of made sense. There were different biomes depending on the surrounding provinces like down by leyawin(or however they spelled it) was swamplands because of black marsh and freezing and tundra like near bruma that borders the jerral mountains of Skyrim. Sure they didn’t have it for all provinces like elswyer being jungles and that’s probably because of what falcon said in technical limits but it was nice with how diverse it was.
Do the before you do videos try to play mgs4 -.-
This was great! I hope you’ll do the same kind of video for Fallout 4 clips
The reason why there's the scene with the crash landed Normandy is because if you caused too many squad mates to die then there wouldn't be enough people to help rebuild the ship thereby leaving them stranded, as for the mass relays if your war assets aren't high enough then there won't be enough allied to rebuild the relays, and the machine/organic storyline started all the way back in ME1
The Kingdom Hearts change that actually bothers me is the key blade.
You are lead to believe that Sora has the only one, and that only he can use it. Didn't bother me too much when Riku could use it, he is connected to Sora.
I even remember gasping when it was revealed that King Mickey had a key blade as well, but the way it's revealed and it's coloring lead you to think it's like a 'counterpart' to the one you have.
Then number 2 comes along and suddenly Sore has 2 of them when he unleashes a special power.
I must admit that other than trying Chain of memories, I stopped playing. I saw a commercial for a new one that showed a field full of key blades, and was so annoyed that I lost interest.
I like it story can by better
“Cartoonishly evil pharmaceutical company.” Have you seen how actual pharmaceutical companies act? Nothing cartoonish about Umbrella, i’d Say it’s HIGHLY accurate.
I love Mass Effect, and Andromeda was amazing…. I was broke when it came out, so I didn’t play it till later and the bugs were already fixed- any then it was gold… too bad it’s first impression when it rolled out was so awful… Bc I’d love a sequel
Technically it wasn't bad but the story and characters were terrible.
The draenei are the Eredar that escaped from their home after Sargeras corrupts everyone. They call themselves draenei wich means exiles.
The draenei from warcraft 3, are the draenei that stayed on draenor ( outland ) and survived the orcs onslaught. They became week and started to call themselves " broken " they tried to survive as best as they could and meet illidan and the Blood elves and start to work with them.
The draenei you play on world of warcraft, are the draenei that fled using the Exodar ( the ship that they used to escape Argus, their homeworld ) from outland just before the enraged orcs being manipulated by kil'jaeden decimated shattrath City. And they crash on azeroth. After they crash, they see that the orcs are there too, but the alliance comes to their aid.
Made a big resume there, hope i helped understand. I read on the books. They are awesome for those who like the games.
"warrior cyborg Jesus" was your best sentence. Ever.
To be fair to Resident Evil... they later released a game where Chris and Jill and a squad take down the last remnant of umbrella in between Code Veronica and 4 so at least they retroactively retconned the retcon
honestly i was okay with the extended cut. and ignoring andromeda would make sense. andromeda was a whole different story anyway. they left before the final attack to find a new home in case the worst happened. at best andromeda could be mentioned in the new game as a thing that happened then ignored until/if they decide to make andromeda 2.
This reminds me of the Crysis series where the story also changed every sequel
Thank you! I was looking through the comments to see if anyone else mentioned Crysis.
Yall got to hire a better editor some of this looks like it was done in 5 seconds
Welcome to the channel, it's been this way for several years.
Mass effect Andromeda can be ignored cause it takes place in an entirely different galaxy. You leave prior to the major battle with the reapers and are then in stasis until hundreds of years later meaning any thing they do after ME3 in the Milkyway Galaxy doesn't have to acknowledge Andromeda in any way shape or form if they don't want to. The whole Andromeda initiative was a Cerberus black op initiative that could follow its own unique story line without affecting the continuity of anything that is planned after ME3 in the Milkyway. Just saying...
I appreciate Barry's Kingdom Hearts explanation video still being the top one in a search. 😆
Also the fact that the little scroll through all those explanation videos here both starts and ends with a Barry Kingdom Hearts video. 😂
