Fun fact about the Guardian Ape in Sekiro. In the first fight it’s moves like an aggressive ape, it’s moveset feels like you’re fighting an ape. In its second phase where it’s Centipede (parasite) appears the ape moves like a worm, slivers and bends unnaturally as the parasite has taken control. It’s a nice attention to detail Fromsoftware put in but then again this company is known for its incredible attention to detail.
Also for any players who don't know, headless form is INCREDIBLY weak to the thrusting spear. if you use that on his stump when he dives, it'll drag the parasite out for you to hit it directly
I got guardian of galaxy when it first came out and I absolutely love it, the game was so immersive I spent hours playing even went back and trophy hunting I found parts of the map I didn’t see on my first play through, all and all guardian of the galaxy has a 10 in my books
@@TheToxicPlayuh oh so only open world games are good aye? Thts so dumb lol. Game was actually very good and very widely regarded tht way. Who cares what 1 random thinks? Lol what games do you like? Please tell
What he said man I loved guardians of the galaxy I still play it over everything from the music the story peters and rockets fights it was marvel needed after the avengers game
That Hollow Knight boss fake out really got me. I even set my controller down in relief it was finally over. Then, he killed me and I had to go through all the torture again!
That clocktower scene in the OG Resident Evil 3 (rip) had me completely fooled and I was so upset that I thought the game was over. Never before have I been so happy to be fooled by a video game.
For a personal favorite of mine I’d have to say Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time. First time I played through I thought Nefarious was the final boss and even started having the ending like it was the end of the game. Then it throws you into a brand new boss battle against someone who was your ally throughout the game.
You've missed Jade Empire. Not sure if that was on the other list, but you hit a point where you think you're about to end the game only to be met with a massive reveal that changes your understanding of what happened in the story up to that point. It's probably the most satisfying narrative twist in any game that I've played
@@JanMichalsky There were a couple of things that I thought were brilliant in the writing of the game. The first one was when the gate guard is killed in an early incident, but I felt something because I remembered the character, it wasn't just someone who took an arrow to the knee. The second thing, and this is the major one, is that the bizarre and cryptic dialogue you experience on the first play through makes perfect sense the second time. I think you can go deeper and add more good things, but those first two feel almost unique even decades on from that game being released
@@BrentHasCoolDogs I'd be OK with a remaster, I have a thing about remakes where I wish they'd just make something new with the same level of craft! I don't want to play another Batman game, give me a fresh world with new ideas to explore. Now if the Jade Empire writers would turn their attention to a genuine Chinese legend like The Water Margin, or a story with a greater level of mysticism, oh please sign me up!
For Guardians game....I realized something was off in the credits. Through the credits at the lead level Designers, if you are keen you will notice the name Philipe will change to Magus, for the keen eye that is
Yup, Adam Warlock saying he doesnt feel good during that celebratory walk and then during the credit roll Magus name appears many times, I was dead sure something is still left, possibly for sequel or some end credit but then was surprised that there is an entire boss fight just after that 😂😂
I actually quit the guardians game after I completed it and saw the credits. Didn’t find out it wasn’t the end of the game until I watched a TH-camr do a play through nearly a year n half later. Wasn’t really upset though, just because how damn good the game was. My game of the year for sure. Loved it.
I think the twist in Bioshock counts as well. Defeating Andrew Ryan felt like you were about to wrap things up as you had just killed the "bloody king of Rapture". But the protagonist's problems just got way worse from there.
lol the first Donkey Kong Country game after you beat King K. Rool taught me not to trust a game's ending. It was an easy fight, but if you didn't know back then, it was a surprise to see him get right back up after it said 'the end'
I'm not going to lie, I was in the camp that thought Bode was going to die. To the point were I was actually in shock when he did betray Cal and the gang.
@@metalhedp8ntbll There is no character named Cade in Jedi Survivor. There is a Cal Kestis. You know, the character you play as and the guy Bode betrays.
I never played the game but the trailers showed me from the start that this character is just bad. The scene is also so fucking stupid. I hope this is not in the game.
Need a video with "10 Longest Boss Fights In Games." Some boss fights last a really long time. RPGs tend to drag out final boss fights for 45 minutes or more.
Not going to lie, the first time I played Portal I sat for WAY too long at the conveyor belt ending where you avoid the fire pit. It took me a minute to figure out why the credits hadn't rolled and then another minute to figure out how to get out of there because the door was locked.
FTL should be on this list. By the time you get to the final boss he retreats and comes back to fight you again. In a resource management game like FTL you unleash all your probes and missiles at him. He’s fully rearmed and repaired while you’re basically without any weapons with your ship on fire. I rage quit after that. I can see it working it it was on hard difficulty. This is on normal mode too.
I know your job is playing games and making videos, but it makes me wonder how much time and money it takes to play all these games over the years? Just curious. I love this channel and you guys are great!
Tears of the kingdom had me shaking when I found out there was a 4th phase after I had broken my last shield and barely managed to beat the 3rd. Thankfully, the last phase didn't need a shield.
Ocarina of Time could just as easily made this list. You beat Ganon, then you and Zelda flee his collapsing on-fire castle. The two of you take a breather outside the smoking pile of rubble, glad that the source of evil has been...what was that thumping noise? Oh, Hey Tapdancing Listen, he's 20 feet tall and has two swords now!
Gameranx is the only TH-cam channel that makes enjoyable videogame list videos. Like I used to watch WatchMojo and what cultures and they were just so annoying and repetitive after a while. But I've been watching gameranx videos for years and years and still enjoying it. So thank you guys 🙂🙂
What culture is good yes. They put a lot of work into their lists and videos but it does get repetitive and annoying after hearing them take turns for like a 3 hour, 100 games list video. lol. Watch mojo just seems way too goofy and they don’t seem to do a lot of research either. That’s why gameranx is my favorite for this stuff because they are all gamers and actually played the games they talk about.
Can I put a hand up for Urizen and his "complete form" in DMC5? Urizen has to be fought so many times in DMC5. Also, you technically beat the final boss with one character (which is hard enough), only for him to always add a final blow and go "Nuh uh, need two different characters to fight me one after the other in order to defeat me," before the real final level starts. It's more subtle and interesting than fighting Urizen over and over in multiple forms, but it's still there.
Guardian Ape was the first one I thought of. When I “beat him” my husband asked if the ape was dead. I said “I think he is pretty dead. I cut his head off.” Then tried to leave and couldn’t… the pause after the first form just sells the fake out.
When I started this video, all I could think of was the Guardian Ape from Sekiro. And you did not disappoint by at least including him. But I will concede the point to the Jedi Survivor betrayal.
The optional boss Randomage in Chained Echoes has a chance to get up again after you beat him. You will most likely celebrate your victory, while you noticeing him geting up again and do an AOE attack. When I "beat" him the first time, this wiped my whole party.
i loved it when in mgs3 in the sorrow battle i never figured out how to revive so i believed snake is just stuck there forever, figured it out 3 years later.
One of my favourite things I've seen in modern gaming is the opposite - a time when a game tricked you into thinking you LOST. In God of War Ragnarok, during your first fight with Thor, it's scripted that you will die. During the GAME OVER SCREEN Thor calls you out demands the fight not over, and that you don't die, bringing you back to life so he can keep kicking your ass.
I have one. The final boss of Shenmue. It's a really freaking hard fight at the docks. You think it's over but there's one last QTE that if you miss, you instantly lose and have to do the whole fight again. I remember throwing the controler on the side the first time, my friend, looking at me, not telling me what's coming and enjoying seeing me get had too.
The only reason the fake KNOCKOUT didn't get me in Cuphead is because I already have the habit of moving and jumping around at the end of game levels until the game takes control from me.
Honorable mention to Prototype. The fight between alex mercer and elizabeth greene exhausted me so much i deleted the game after that and watched rest of the story on TH-cam
I loved that moment, especially because when you replay the game, so much of the dialogue lands differently. I think there is an argument that it is in the Top 10 best constructed game stories (if that description makes sense)
15:07 gotta disagree with that one, from the very beginning of the game when Bode says “I’d do anything for my daughter” I knew he was gonna betray you. I figured everyone would see that coming
Tales of Arise is my absolute favorite you defeat all the main bosses which seems to be the entire goal of the game until you defeat them and an entirely new story emerges!
I still remember the words "When the ashes are two, a flame alighteth. Thou'rt ash, and fire befits thee, of course." ... as i got my titanite slab and wondered why i didnt get any souls for killing her. I immediately died few seconds after... but that first attack when she went "full anime" on me and flew into the air was worth dying from, it looked awesome.
I’m a little surprised we didn’t see the Just shapes and beats final boss fight, in a point in the game it makes it seem like you can’t respawn after the fight. If you keep trying then the boss just instant kills. It doesn’t roll credits but it does play a sweet animation of the characters friends trying to get a reaction from the fallen friend. It does this through the game the were it says “it’s over” to “it’s not Over”
Doki Doki Literature after you "defeat" Monika by removing her name in the game files and go back to the title screen to realize you absolutely didn't defeat the root of the sentience. Mind was melted afterwards
the third giratina phase may also count cause Giratina does the pokemon fainting animation but in the middle of it giratina basically yells "PSYYYYYCH" and wakes up again
Good old Street Fighter 3rd Strike trolls you at the final fight against Gil. Not only is he an extremely hard fight due to his range and elemental attacks but once you defeat him he uses his special meter to fully resurrect himself to full health.
Just Shapes and Beats is a better fakeout than all of these. It has 3 fakeouts. Every time you think it's over and you killed the Final Boss, IT JUST KEEPS GOING
Ultros from Final Fantasy VI really does make you feel like a sucker at times! Most of the fights you encounter with him he tells you he’s lost and is about to be defeated…only to pull out some last minute powerful attacks and even an ally in the form if Typhon. This purple octopus loves to rub it in by trying to pull a Joseph Joestar and saying: “I know what you’re thinking: Man that was cheap!!”
The one asking you to pay to see the end of the game is ridiculous. Imagine going to the movies, paying for your ticket, then getting to what you thought was the end only for them to announce that you have to pay another fee to see the end lol
GTA Vice City when you complete what you’d think was the final mission and the game gives you no indication that you need to buy every business and complete their tasks to unlock the actual final mission.
What about Starscourge Radahn from Elden Ring? You fight him, he gets into his second phase, then suddenly jumps up, music stops. Then he comes down on you like a fucking meteor. Literally.
Hollow knight. I'll never forget putting the controller down when I thought radiance was dead, me an my friend cheered, then the controller vibrated in time for me to watch myself get vaporized. To make matters worse. I never did get back to that point. And later learned he's one hit from dead. Just gotta go through an interactive cutscene basically. 😢
Games that force you to finish them multiple times to get the real ending are my worst enemy because I only play through a game once and 90% of the time I won’t touch it again 😂
Some of the "Trails of Cold Steel" games have cutscenes and missions that only show up on New Game Plus. You only have to play them once to see the end, but I'm not playing a full-length JRPG again just to see a bonus cutscene.
why did I think of Asura when you mentioned number 7 lol because yeah it has fake ending as well so I am glad you mentioned Asura here 8:47 lol ( Edit : I didn't reach the spider thing at the end I don't know how to reach it though )
The fact that the devs gave a trophy after defeating the cillain twice shows that they were playing with the player. They should have embraced this and gave another trophy called "No, this time we're serious".
I love Hollow Knight. So good. The perfect game. Soul Master (and Soul Tyrant) are a lot of fun when you finally 'get it' though. Nowhere near as hard as some of the other bosses. HK is the cutest 2D equivalent to any of the hardest video games out there.... Especially if you want that sweet, sweet 112% 😅 Nicest fandom on the internet too! (mostly)😊
I knew the Solomon Grundy fight wasn't going to be that easy because of Solomon Grundy's rhythm. Solomon Grundy,Born on a Monday,Christened on Tuesday,Married on Wednesday,Took ill on Thursday,Grew worse on Friday,Died on Saturday,Buried on Sunday

What about 10 times where the game Tricked you into thinking you Lost? Such as the fight with Thor in God of War Ragnarok
Dragon Age: Origins
Leaving the Howe Estate.
I got guardian of galaxy when it first came out and I absolutely love it, the game was so immersive I spent hours playing even went back and trophy hunting I found parts of the map I didn’t see on my first play through, all and all guardian of the galaxy has a 10 in my books
I feel the same way, GotG was a top notch game, played great on the PS5.
Damn shame Avenger's soured people on this hit.
Not a 10/10 game lol but def a good one.
One of the most boring games I’ve ever played, linear and boring

Not really
If it had a sequel game. It might be an all time fav for me
Said nobody ever
What he said man I loved guardians of the galaxy I still play it over everything from the music the story peters and rockets fights it was marvel needed after the avengers game
I literally just beat Guardian of the Galaxy last night. I even screenshotted the victory walk thinking I beat the game. LMAO
That Hollow Knight boss fake out really got me. I even set my controller down in relief it was finally over. Then, he killed me and I had to go through all the torture again!
Oh pain. Having to walk through Soul Sanctum after you thought you were finally done with it. That must've hurt.
Same lol, it even got me in his dreamnail fight, the Soul Tyrant
Swear this is HK's go-to move. You switch off for a microsecond and something will beat a couple of masks out of you. Best game EVER❤

YES, that was so cool. But I kinda saw it coming because there where tiny hints that he has other ideas than ratchet.
Guardian ape scared the hell out of me. Took like 100 tries to do phase 1 and then he comes back off screen and I didn't see him until I was dead 😅
That shit pissed me off so bad I stopped playing for 2 weeks😂

The fact the ape doesn’t just scream, it puts its head back on to scream. That’s sick detail.

The ape actually comes back a 3rd time in a duo boss fight with a second ape, it was one of the hardest fights in sekiro for me!
Can’t wait for TH-cam to release its battle pass where you don’t get an ad between each item on a gameranx list
The volo/giratina fight in Pokémon legends arceus deserved a spot on this list
Hollow knight.
I'll never forget putting the controller down when I thought radiance was dead, me an my friend cheered, then the controller vibrated in time for me to watch myself get vaporized.
To make matters worse. I never did get back to that point. And later learned he's one hit from dead. Just gotta go through an interactive cutscene basically.
😢
Area 51 did the same thing with dramatic music making you think you made it out then BAM!! Youre dead.
Guardians of the Galaxy was such a kick on the nuts with that last boss...
4:43 You can even notice in the credits the name of Philippe Lussier changing to Magus. It's a bit of a clever foreshadowing.
Games that force you to finish them multiple times to get the real ending are my worst enemy because I only play through a game once and 90% of the time I won’t touch it again 😂
Some of the "Trails of Cold Steel" games have cutscenes and missions that only show up on New Game Plus. You only have to play them once to see the end, but I'm not playing a full-length JRPG again just to see a bonus cutscene.
Kid Icarus for the 3Ds also had one of those credits endings but actually is no over kinda endings
why did I think of Asura when you mentioned number 7
lol
because yeah
it has fake ending as well
so I am glad you mentioned Asura here 8:47
lol
( Edit : I didn't reach the spider thing at the end
I don't know how to reach it though )
''My name is ......
Blade of .......''
The fact that the devs gave a trophy after defeating the cillain twice shows that they were playing with the player. They should have embraced this and gave another trophy called "No, this time we're serious".
I love Hollow Knight. So good. The perfect game. Soul Master (and Soul Tyrant) are a lot of fun when you finally 'get it' though. Nowhere near as hard as some of the other bosses.
HK is the cutest 2D equivalent to any of the hardest video games out there.... Especially if you want that sweet, sweet 112% 😅
Nicest fandom on the internet too! (mostly)😊
The Bode twist from survivor was sooo good I wasn’t expecting that at all it was a good twist
I knew the Solomon Grundy fight wasn't going to be that easy because of Solomon Grundy's rhythm.
Solomon Grundy,Born on a Monday,Christened on Tuesday,Married on Wednesday,Took ill on Thursday,Grew worse on Friday,Died on Saturday,Buried on Sunday
The Guardian Ape has actually 4 phases. After beating the Guardian Ape, you unlock the Headless Ape in the Ashina Depths.
I'm pretty sure I ESC-quit Borderlands as soon as I got the first credits after the first Dr. Ned fight. I can't remember fighting the second one
best gaming chanel by a mile!
I loved the twist in Jedi Survivor! It was one of those "oh shit" moments!
The way this video ended, I was actually expecting some more lol
Falcon you brought me back by bringing up Arkham City, what a masterpiece, that game is 💎
FromSoft never stops trying to say it hates you with love 😂
Surprised that Pokémon Legends: Arceus isn't on here. That final fake-out by Giratina tricked so many streamers.
