In Alice: Madness Returns, you spend most of the Queen of Hearts’ Domain either running from the Executioner (a giant zombie card with a huge scythe) or fearing his arrival. It’s so gratifying when the “Off with her head!” section lets you turn giant, squash him under your boot, then rampage through the castle.
Fun fact about Control: One of the Collectables is a case file that references Alan Wake as an altered world event that was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Control
Indeed. You can also find one of their songs, War, on a radio in Alan Wake as one of the collectibles. Really good band that needs more recognition.....
I find the Black Flag one hilarious mostly because when I manned the Queen Anne's Revenge it was a step down from the my Jackdaw. But I loved roaming the world for sea shanties and upgrades.
Yeah me too haha, the hull was weaker and didn't have the extra abilities and fire barrels to drop when you powerslide in front of ships I mean..it's soo easy to get overleveled, even without farming ships, it's fun and rewarding.. Idk what they're smoking haha. Odyssey made it a little tougher to get enough resources but it was even funner to battle so it didn't matter
Same tho, I 100%'d the game, lmao, the queen anne's revenge was a major handicapping for me. A fully upgraded Jackdaw would have DECIMATED that Man o War, as it has with many other circumstances. I am pretty sure if you had the special battering ram you get from the mapcorner ships, you can easily 1-shot even the big boy boats.
Yeah I agree completely, the AC 4 and Far Cry 3 entries were complete tosh. I ignored the main story after getting the Jackdaw just to sail to every island in the Caribbean, take over every naval fort and pillage every ship I came across. As for Far Cry 3, I played that bit with the flamethrower, which was horrible because it has terrible range and doesn't stop the pirates from shooting you in the face. As for hunting wild animals, it's absolutely useless due to the animals knowing to run away from the thing that spews fire
@UCKYxOxqdwQnXktLbK_cdW0Q hey depending on how much you upgrade your own ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge is a step down from your potentially roided up frigate, the Jackdaw
The scene in Mass Effect 3 on Rannoch where Shepard faces down a reaper on foot is my personal favorite bad-ass moment. Dodging that giant cannon, keeping the targeting laser trained on the lens, the entire fleet above raining down an orbital strike on that one spot.
Got one for the list. Gta 5 - "The Paleto score" mission. Shooting your way out in gta never really works, that is until you add really thick body armor and miniguns.
You know in the game there are optional objectives for all the missions? One of the objectives for the Paleto score job was to fire 1000 rounds using the mini gun.
@@callumdonington2227 It was so much fun in the original Quake. Zombies in that game normally could ONLY be killed with explosives (location damage wasn't a thing, so bullets would only incapacitate them for a couple seconds, and you needed to blast them to little chunks), but once you pick up Quad Damage, just whip out the Double Barrel get up close and unleash unholy-powered buckshot into their scrawny bodies ripping apart! Destroy your enemies with the most common ammo, and no longer worry about damaging yourself with rockets and grenades!
Katamari Damacy, and that moment in each level when you get big enough to roll up all the animals and people who were mean to you when you were smaller. Kick me around, will you?? Well I'm the big man now and you're on a one-way trip to the cosmos
Oh, absolutely! Growing from only being able to pick up small fruit while being chased by large people and animals trying to knock stuff off of you to finally being able to pick up those people is amazing! Just listen to their screams of terror and watch them flail around in desperation! Bwahahahahaha! Yes, run, mortals, run! Fear me and my giant ball of sticky doom! 😈 If it wasn’t for the strict time limits and large minimum size requirements, those levels where you start small and then grow enormous would easily be my favorite parts of the game!
RazyFreaVideos yea but that’s not really super powered or anything. It locks on by itself but being in your titan would probably be considered more of super power
I am glad I got to experience it without any warning - I had actually spent all my points on telekinetic damage, so everything was getting one-shot in there.
Such an underrated game. I really want a sequel to that game, because I want to know what happens with the brother. There's a cliffhanger there that needs resolution.
The ending of Hellblade, when Senua finally starts to conquer her fears/demons and just goes nuts on the Wickerman baddies. The music alone is such a mood shift from the darkness of the rest of the game!
Titanfall 2 The final mission where you pull out the SERE kit from your mech’s head and going on a killing spree through the entire facility with your auto aim pistol. You then get an even more powerful Titan with a minigun that tears through enemy Titans
Jesus how was this NOT here? That entire sequence is one wholly unexpected and entirely earned power fantasy. Certainly more rewarding than making someone respawn in a Rockstar online game.
AC IV black flag: when you get the mayan armor just climb up and enjoy the guards trying to hopelessly shoot you even though they had all the time to figure out that you are in fact immune to bullets
You forgot about *Assassin's Creed Brotherhood* , the time when Ezio got the Apple of Eden and then they wiped the floor with Templars committing suicide. Same thing happened in *AC3* , when Desmond decided to use the Apple against Abstergo.
Yes, this. I was honestly scratching my head when they listed AC Black Flag over that. I mean, the Apple is the literal McGuffin the series was based on and suddenly it's in your hands and in your control. Suddenly, you know EXACTLY why the Templars are so obsessed with getting their hands on this thing. ^_^
@@BoaPython I feel like the whole reason Black Flag was chosen was because, as they admitted they didn't upgrade the Jackdaw. If you've been properly upgrading your ship till that point (which isn't nearly as hard as they make it out to be, you literally just have to raid other ships while you travel) then the Queen Anne's Revenge isn't that much more powerful, whereas if you don't do upgrades and just stick to the main story (something that makes EVERY AC game way more difficult) it'll be a massive difference. Even then though there are so many more deserving moments in the series (my vote goes to the Apothis bossfight in Origins or pursuing Cesare at the end of Brotherhood) so I don't get why they chose this one, hell the very next game in the series has a similar moment where you pilot a man o war that feels more epic than this one.
I'd have to say my favorite power fantasy In a game was when you got the smart pistol in Titanfall 2 and you got to wall run while auto-headshoting enemies with infinite ammo. But the burning of the weed in FarCry 3 was cool too.
I can’t believe that y’all forgot about the end of Elder Scrolls Online where you have to fight Molag Bal and his minions. Just before that battle, you have to tear through his minions with super jacked up abilities given to you by your friends, turning you into this big, golden dude with an axe and shield with an infinite capacity for destruction. You did have to sacrifice one of your other friends for it though, so it might have been worth it might not have been worth it. 🤷🏻♂️
That was amazing also the ac 4 that made it onto the list doesn’t count because at that point I’d already upgraded the Jackdaw so much I felt like I could’ve easily sunk the queen annes revenge
Devil May Cry 5: when you get Dante’s Sin Devil Trigger. The upgrade makes Dante’s demon form look and feel even more badass and you can cut a large portion of the bosses health bar in the few seconds you are in that mode.
Jedi: Fallen Order - The lightsaber battle on Illum after that big story moment. The music goes all 'hero' on you and you're excising waves of stormtroopers and droids. Very cool!
Metal Gear Rising: almost the entire game! When you fight the first boss, Metal Gear Ray, and you start kicking it's ass, and then it tries to smash you with it's arm/wing/thing-that-also-shoots-missiles, and you block it with your sword while "Rules of nature" kicks in, and then you proceed to finish that fat, metalic bastard off with the sword... AWESSSSOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Control is such an underrated game. That game is absolutely insane, like the SCP files bought to life. There is no end to the amount of detail and lore in this game... it makes all of Remedy's older games canon to its lore, from Alan Wake to Max Payne and more. The controls (pun intended), the soundtrack, the acting... I loved every minute I spent with this game. It even inspired me to go back and play the other Remedy games, to see what I missed in those that ended up in Control... how that game didn't get Game of the Year is beyond me.
Infamous 2. When you need to get final fragment of "the thing" from army of cryosoldiers that occupied roof of skyscraper, there is a once in a lifetime event when storm gathers and powers up Cole by letting him charge electricity from lightning from the sky, and with it, hit points and his superpowers throughout the mission to become absolute badass.
No word of a lie, I hated the boat part of AC4 so much that I’ve never played any following AC game again, having bought all of them up to that point...
god I love when you get the ridiculous-power-trip-mission in games, even if it is usually at the start so you get a taste of "this is what you could be doing later in the game"
Tch😒.Thats a fairy tale bro. Now if you don't mind I'm going back to discussing the logistics of injecting myself with gamma radiation to become a giant green rage monster...like a realist.
Remember in InFamous 2, that mission where there is an actual storm above the city, which means infinite electricity that litterally makes litghtning fall on you (and vaporise any close enemy) every time you recharge your power? Good times
Titanfall 2 had a pretty fantastic moment. Getting the Smart Pistol from the first game and getting to run through a collapsing enemy base gunning down hundreds of soldiers was pretty badass
Uncle Ben never actually said that. It was a commenter line in amazing fantasy 15 and later became a heavily repeated neon message sign in the much much later books and the movies.
That moment during Okami's final boss, when you unlock your final form through the actual power of friendship. Just the right mix of badass and heartwarming. Also, you do literally play a god.
I was thinking that! Amaterasu bracing herself as the music kicks in and she just stares Yami down before the fight starts, and then the fight itself just makes you feel so powerful as you leap over lasers and literally draw the sun to help you take him down. So amazing.
When you use immunity in mass effect as an overleveled soldier shepherd and run in like a crazy person and riddle everyone with bullets. So satisfying.
The Heightened Adrenaline Rush in ME2, everything is standing still and afterwards everything is lying on the floor. Or fighting infantry as the Adept in ME3.
Talk about turning to the Dark Side: Remember when you played as Vader in Forced Unleashed? That was badass and yeeting Wookies around made you feel like a mighty evil god! *insert Wookie noise*
@@andremerrick4925 He was 17, a child of 2 trained force users, and trained by Vader himself with his best recreation of hell, unlike a certain Palpatine.
I just played through it for the first time yesterday and I’m SO glad I didn’t see any footage of it before doing so. Agree with Jesse: “That was awesome.” I’d love to have a way to replay it without rolling back my progress to the start of that mission. Which may be the first time I’ve ever wished for a checkpoint skip to be removed. LOL
@@ButMadNNW626 Yeah, it wasn't spoiled for me either so I had a huge grin the whole time. If you are on PC just copy your save files to somewhere else and then you can replay as much as you like, just put them back when you are done
Riley Kenney: I tried that (Xbox). It overwrote everything I’d done after the start of the ninth mission. So I’m having to redo that mission entirely. I was stuck on the fight shortly after the Maze, anyway, so it’s not a huge inconvenience. But I’m unlikely to wipe my progress that far back when I’m further along.
Or like in Persona 5 when Joker (who could like totally be Bayonetta’s son) summons his ultimate Persona to shoot a god right in the face with an enormous F you gun.
@@dinodude8899 not to be one of those people, but sin is another word for rebellion, which is true to the bit of the phantom thieves rebelling against a corrupt society and an evil god that wants humanity to be reduced to a bunch of robots
The weed mission in Far Cry 3 is still one of my favorite missions in any game, ever. The flamethrower, the spreading flames, the awesomely appropriate music, and Brody's comments make for the perfect blend of badassery.
Darksiders, anytime your character goes into Chaos Mode. Your playable character goes into their full avatar state, becoming immune to damage, a house sized monster, and using multiple attacks with massive AOE and even bigger damage.
@@zacharywilliams4612 Also mentioned the Hyper Beam in Super Metroid which literally causes the final boss, Mother Brain, to recoil anytime it's hit. Trash mobs are just deleted.
More options: Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood when you finished off the Borgia guards with the apple of Eden. Also the Time and Fate mission in Call of Duty Black Ops 2 when Raul Menendez goes berserk when his sister’s life is threatened. Also the Loki mission in Call of Duty Ghosts when you take control of the satellite array and rain down hellfire on your enemies from the sky. I think that’s all I got :)
What about the Bad Karma ending where you team up with John and gain limitless energy while you're in his presence? I felt pretty strong flying alongside him unleashing an endless barrage of Hellfire Rockets at the puny humans foolishly trying to stop us. *Sigh* we need inFamous 3, where Cole is actually alive and... I dunno, fighting off aliens, or something.
@@DiZtheJedi while that is a grand scenario, I prefer the lightning storm bit for two reasons. I think it's cooler to fight solo while boosted by mother nature than to fight with a giant fire dude helping you out. And in the bad ending you kill Zeke and I hate that.
@Jon Boy It didn't really, it had the same Karma problem that the first game did in that Good or Bad Karma didn't affect the ending all that much. But the Bad Karma ending in inFamous 2 was hugely different, and it's a believable ending at that.
inFAMOUS 2: near the end of the game, Cole needs to recover the last blast core to power up and save the world. His friend Zeke is sick, doesn't have much time left, and is counting on him. Zeke: There's a storm coming. Cole: Yeah, there is. The following mission allows you to draw electrical energy from the sky in the form of giant bolts of lightning.
Honestly, if you're upgrading the Jackdaw properly by the time you actually get to captain the Queen Anne's Revenge it's actually a downgrade since a fully upgraded Jackdaw has equal firepower and is faster.
@@Chloe_Zana Black Flag is easily my favorite of the entire series. Absolutely worth buying it at this point. But yeah, I felt like it was a downgrade when I got to that mission because I had been upgrading the Jackdaw all along.
Berserker mode from Doom 2016 and Eternal. Being able to rip and tear through enemies using your bare hands was one of the most memorable parts of those two games
Ah... Splinter Cell Conviction. This part was made so incredible because of the timeless classic "Midnight in a Perfect World" by DJ Shadow playing in the background. I was a huge fan of the album it's from, "...Endtroducing", at the time, so hearing it suddenly show up during this epic invincibility badass segment...let's just say I was shouting, shooting, and grinning a LOT.
I thought about the moment in the original Walking Dead season, after Lee is bit and he just murdalizes any zombie he comes across to get to Clementine. I love that moment, especially if you keep Lees other arm cause he grabs a glass shard and yeah, you probably know what I’m talking about. It’s really cool
All other MP games ever: "Let's have a standard option easily available where players play co-op instead of griefing. After all, all group missions need co-op!" Rockstar: "...what is this alien language you speak? Lopts of co-op missions, ZERO INCENTIVE to not grief! ...whaddya mean players are abandoning the Online bit?"
They don't just fail to encourage you not to grief, in a lot of missions, they encourage people to grief by announcing the person making a delivery or whatever and marking them on everyone's map as being in the mission. And there's quite a few missions in which they don't let you do them in private lobbies.
The first time I used the Drive forms in Kingdom Hearts 2 was one of the coolest moments I've played in a game. Especially Final, where you're floating around with two keyblades hovering behind your back
No Prototype? The very 1st mission gives you all the powers and abilities and sets you free to cause as much chaos and destruction as you want. Its the perfect candidate for this type of video.
Where's Luke when you need him? 2:48 the Queen Anne's Revenge (AC4 at least) isn't a frigate, It's a ship of the line! The clue is the two gun decks below the main deck.. and yes, I do realise how sad it is that I know that.
What about The witcher 3, specifically near the end where you can play as Ciri after she master her powers? She is so powerful she makes Geralt feel like a kid playing swords with a stick.
There's an amazing two step system I love: 1) Throw Voice to the top of mountain or cliff's edge. 1.5) Make sure to stealthily follow behind whoever came to investigate, and when necessary repeat step 1 to keep them invested. 2) When target has reached the top: Unrelenting Force
I love that part, using literal power armor to explode hundreds of Zin and German Suplexing an Alien Overlord before ripping his head off while listening to You Got The Touch by Stan Bush
reminds me of the time in Far Cry Blood Dragon when you get that ninja star and the character sings The Touch. Ngl, as a Transformer geek it's good to know the song was used elsewhere...even if it's something silly like in Far Cry's case, although I haven't played saints 4 yet, only the third.
@@johnyshadow the song is simply The Touch btw also nice, I'm kinda curios now how many forms of media use the song I believe it was first used in the 1986 transformers movie, but I can't quite say. Great song though
Final Fantasy 15: Leviathan fight. Flying around launching explosive weapons or going up close and personal against the goddess of the seas as the choir gets louder as the boss’s health goes down.
That moment when you got your light back in destiny 2 or everytime you got a new subclass unlocked, when those golden glowing trees are everywhere granting you a full super bar when you walk through them. Or that one that one time in Code Vein when you and your friends fought Jack/the Hunter in the Cathedral of the holy blood. I know it was in a cutscene and he was pretty much handing your asses to you (it was 4 on 1) the music was just awesome
Saints Row IV. Power armor, smashing your way through an alien ship while The Touch plays. Dragon Age Inquisition. Getting the ability to make the anchor explode in the final dlc. Metal Gear Solid 4. Piloting REX. Final Fantasy XV. Fighting Leviathan fully unleashed. Dragon Age 2. Prologue. Varrics storytelling. Star Wars the Force Unleashed. Pulling a f**king star destroyer out of the sky. Witcher 3. Playing as Ciri vs the wild hunt and Caranthir in Skellige.
Wow, no "sorry I was on mute", "uuuh can you repeat that?" or awkward silences, seems like the most unrealistic part of splinter cell was the representation of remote meetings. That's the real power.
Honestly, what I remember most about Splinter Cell Conviction was the brutal interrogation scenes where you could use different pieces of the environment to batter people in various, horrible ways... like punching their face through a sink.
The most impossibly badass moment I have experienced in recent times- The entire end sequence of DMC5 (spoilers). As not only Dante, but more so as Nero. He brought the pain and I was so happy the entire fight.
I'm in my early thirties with my birthday in exactly 2 weeks. I remember cassette tapes, floppy disks of both sizes, televisions that got their video signal via antennae, and I have physical 8 track tapes in my home.
In Jade Empire, the one Bioware game a lot of fans forget, there's transformation styles. One thing I like to do is transform into a siege golem when fighting the emperor

Oh yeah , i remember that one , that was awesome
That was amazing also the ac 4 that made it onto the list doesn’t count because at that point I’d already upgraded the Jackdaw so much I felt like I could’ve easily sunk the queen annes revenge
Or when Old Altair used the Apple of Eden.
@@zephyrerazortail5478 Or when Ezio used the Apple against Cesare and his troops
Devil May Cry 5: when you get Dante’s Sin Devil Trigger. The upgrade makes Dante’s demon form look and feel even more badass and you can cut a large portion of the bosses health bar in the few seconds you are in that mode.
"With great power comes either powerful enemies or great boredom."
Jedi: Fallen Order - The lightsaber battle on Illum after that big story moment. The music goes all 'hero' on you and you're excising waves of stormtroopers and droids. Very cool!
Metal Gear Rising: almost the entire game!
When you fight the first boss, Metal Gear Ray, and you start kicking it's ass, and then it tries to smash you with it's arm/wing/thing-that-also-shoots-missiles, and you block it with your sword while "Rules of nature" kicks in, and then you proceed to finish that fat, metalic bastard off with the sword...
AWESSSSOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Dude after the clock tower part I sat there giggling maniacally , turned off my console and started over to do it again.
The scroll banter is fast becoming one of my favorite parts of these videos. “What’s great about responsibility?” Jane had me dying with that :D
Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask when you get the Fierce Diety mask. Can refight any of the bosses and take on the final boss in a super buffed mode.
Control is such an underrated game. That game is absolutely insane, like the SCP files bought to life. There is no end to the amount of detail and lore in this game... it makes all of Remedy's older games canon to its lore, from Alan Wake to Max Payne and more. The controls (pun intended), the soundtrack, the acting... I loved every minute I spent with this game. It even inspired me to go back and play the other Remedy games, to see what I missed in those that ended up in Control... how that game didn't get Game of the Year is beyond me.
Infamous 2.
When you need to get final fragment of "the thing" from army of cryosoldiers that occupied roof of skyscraper, there is a once in a lifetime event when storm gathers and powers up Cole by letting him charge electricity from lightning from the sky, and with it, hit points and his superpowers throughout the mission to become absolute badass.
You didn't like playing with the Jackdaw!? I legitimately spent 90 percent of my playtime at sea because it was so much fun.
Right?! I 100%ed everything to do with the Jackdaw because it was the best stuff in the game. I'm surprised Andy didn't like it.
@@MSte21 same, every playthrough i make sure to get all the upgrades the second they're unlocked
I still remember disabling a trail of ships near a corner of the map, just so I had access to instant "healing" when fighting a boss ship.
No word of a lie, I hated the boat part of AC4 so much that I’ve never played any following AC game again, having bought all of them up to that point...
@@chrisgraham6031 Unity and Syndicate don't have pirate battles, so try them out. Origins has it but only for a select few missions.
"You know what they say about power?"
That you want all the power, Jane?
First you get the sugar?
The most badass moment in Assassin's Creed was when ezio got control of the apple of eden at the end of AC 2 or Brotherhood
god I love when you get the ridiculous-power-trip-mission in games, even if it is usually at the start so you get a taste of "this is what you could be doing later in the game"
Number 8: Winning an argument against your mum.
Bonus points if you don't get grounded after that
The REAL person! That timeline doesn’t exist.
@@zayaanatif4474 rip
What! you can win??
nobody told me that
Tch😒.Thats a fairy tale bro. Now if you don't mind I'm going back to discussing the logistics of injecting myself with gamma radiation to become a giant green rage monster...like a realist.
Remember in InFamous 2, that mission where there is an actual storm above the city, which means infinite electricity that litterally makes litghtning fall on you (and vaporise any close enemy) every time you recharge your power? Good times
yeah
As a fan of Alan Wake the second "Take Control" started I knew what was in store, fucking awesome.
Watch Dogs 2, hacking into the prototype spider war-machine and wrecking havoc inside an evil security company.
Titanfall 2 had a pretty fantastic moment. Getting the Smart Pistol from the first game and getting to run through a collapsing enemy base gunning down hundreds of soldiers was pretty badass
"With great power comes great responsibility."
And lots of rice.
Thanks uncle Ben. 🤔😁
😒 sigh
And beans, don't forget beans
Uncle Ben never actually said that. It was a commenter line in amazing fantasy 15 and later became a heavily repeated neon message sign in the much much later books and the movies.
what ? why rice ?
@@maxfelson9467 Because of the "Uncle Ben's" brand of rice. It's sold in the US, so if you're British, that may be why you missed the reference.
That moment during Okami's final boss, when you unlock your final form through the actual power of friendship. Just the right mix of badass and heartwarming.
Also, you do literally play a god.
OH MY GOD YES I CRY EVERY TIME BRO
I totally agree with you!!!!
I was thinking that! Amaterasu bracing herself as the music kicks in and she just stares Yami down before the fight starts, and then the fight itself just makes you feel so powerful as you leap over lasers and literally draw the sun to help you take him down. So amazing.
Origin of all that is good & mother to us all! I love Okami! Its such a classic
When you use immunity in mass effect as an overleveled soldier shepherd and run in like a crazy person and riddle everyone with bullets. So satisfying.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite comment in the comment section.
ME3, Vanguard, Charge+Nova, -200% cooldown bonus.
The Heightened Adrenaline Rush in ME2, everything is standing still and afterwards everything is lying on the floor.
Or fighting infantry as the Adept in ME3.
17:00 "now it's time to splinter everyone's cells' XDDDD
I can't believe you didn't mention Kingdom Hearts 2. The moment when you get two keyblades as Roxas is still my favorite power high of all time.
Talk about turning to the Dark Side: Remember when you played as Vader in Forced Unleashed? That was badass and yeeting Wookies around made you feel like a mighty evil god! *insert Wookie noise*
Terry Fox and then you completely beat Vader senselessly as starkiller a boy who couldn’t have been over 30
Don't forget that you could just kill the stormtroppers
@@andremerrick4925 He was 17, a child of 2 trained force users, and trained by Vader himself with his best recreation of hell, unlike a certain Palpatine.
Not gonna lie, the ashtray maze was my favourite gaming moment of last year
I just played through it for the first time yesterday and I’m SO glad I didn’t see any footage of it before doing so. Agree with Jesse: “That was awesome.”
I’d love to have a way to replay it without rolling back my progress to the start of that mission. Which may be the first time I’ve ever wished for a checkpoint skip to be removed. LOL
@@ButMadNNW626 You can, in the main menu you can replay missions.
@@ButMadNNW626 Yeah, it wasn't spoiled for me either so I had a huge grin the whole time. If you are on PC just copy your save files to somewhere else and then you can replay as much as you like, just put them back when you are done
Riley Kenney: I tried that (Xbox). It overwrote everything I’d done after the start of the ninth mission. So I’m having to redo that mission entirely. I was stuck on the fight shortly after the Maze, anyway, so it’s not a huge inconvenience. But I’m unlikely to wipe my progress that far back when I’m further along.
@@Morgan13174 if you do that you loose all progress up to that point
Bayonetta: Whenever she summons her ultimate demon to slay a Mother flipping god.
How do you slay an evil goddess? You bring in a demon queen
Or like in Persona 5 when Joker (who could like totally be Bayonetta’s son) summons his ultimate Persona to shoot a god right in the face with an enormous F you gun.
Midnight Masquerade powered by SIN ITSELF!
@@dinodude8899 not to be one of those people, but sin is another word for rebellion, which is true to the bit of the phantom thieves rebelling against a corrupt society and an evil god that wants humanity to be reduced to a bunch of robots
This is the perfect example of how charming this channel is. You're all freaking adorable
I would count the smart pistol section in Titanfall 2. being able to dash through the level mowing down enemies without needed to aim was pretty fun
The weed mission in Far Cry 3 is still one of my favorite missions in any game, ever. The flamethrower, the spreading flames, the awesomely appropriate music, and Brody's comments make for the perfect blend of badassery.
Fr0zenEagle same here just perfect
The actual quote is “With great power comes the desire for even greater power.”
Voltzoen Alas, ‘tis true. One is never satisfied until one achieves ultimate and unlimited power, topped with immortality to boot.
@@ninjabarbee3979 ultimate power, yes. Immortality, now that would be too lonely
Screw immortality.
My whole existence
"with great power comes having a great time"
Put that on a t-shirt.
Dude I'm so about to do that😎
Put that on a shirt featuring prudence.
I believe the quote Jane was looking for is “with great power comes great need to make a nap”- Nico DiAngelo, Percy Jackson Series
reminds me of a line in a book: "glorious destinies lead to glorious funerals."
-he said that AFTER becoming a GHOST.
Dnd Warlock
i seem to remember a silly weapon called "the Dubstep gun" that forces enemies to dance...
That gun was so awesome, I miss that thing.
The Ashtray Maze is the most "Sam Lake" thing Sam Lake ever put in a video game--and that's including all the times he put Sam Lake in a video game.
Here's to many more Sam Lake moments to come.
Darksiders, anytime your character goes into Chaos Mode.
Your playable character goes into their full avatar state, becoming immune to damage, a house sized monster, and using multiple attacks with massive AOE and even bigger damage.
yup loved that, had it charged in Darksiders 1 when i went against shadow war, ripped him and his chaos form into little bits
I mean, lots of games have an ability like that.
@@Electroporcupine Berserk Powerup in Doom was similarly mentioned. So we're looking for the ones that give you a godlike state.
Nice to see love for Darksiders and Doom, which my uncle has both worked on. Darksiders may very well be my favorite game ever
@@zacharywilliams4612 Also mentioned the Hyper Beam in Super Metroid which literally causes the final boss, Mother Brain, to recoil anytime it's hit. Trash mobs are just deleted.
Jane: "What's great about responsibility?"
She's not wrong!
True that
What’s great about responsibility is not accidentally smiting your friends and family with a million lightning bolts.
@@ninjabarbee3979 OH, so THAT'S what I was doing wrong! Right, "accidentally".
More options: Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood when you finished off the Borgia guards with the apple of Eden. Also the Time and Fate mission in Call of Duty Black Ops 2 when Raul Menendez goes berserk when his sister’s life is threatened. Also the Loki mission in Call of Duty Ghosts when you take control of the satellite array and rain down hellfire on your enemies from the sky. I think that’s all I got :)
Getting the smartgun in Titanfall 2. Headshots while wallrunning. Headshots while sliding. All headshots. All the time.
The moment that always stood out to me is from inFAMOUS 2 when you fight a small army of ice soldiers while drawing power from a lightning storm.
That was my favorite mission
What about the Bad Karma ending where you team up with John and gain limitless energy while you're in his presence? I felt pretty strong flying alongside him unleashing an endless barrage of Hellfire Rockets at the puny humans foolishly trying to stop us. *Sigh* we need inFamous 3, where Cole is actually alive and... I dunno, fighting off aliens, or something.
@@DiZtheJedi while that is a grand scenario, I prefer the lightning storm bit for two reasons. I think it's cooler to fight solo while boosted by mother nature than to fight with a giant fire dude helping you out. And in the bad ending you kill Zeke and I hate that.
@Jon Boy It didn't really, it had the same Karma problem that the first game did in that Good or Bad Karma didn't affect the ending all that much. But the Bad Karma ending in inFamous 2 was hugely different, and it's a believable ending at that.
@@Swedishmarvelking That's fair. And yeah, killing Zeke was hard for sure. Had no trouble killing Nyx though. Never liked her.
inFAMOUS 2: near the end of the game, Cole needs to recover the last blast core to power up and save the world. His friend Zeke is sick, doesn't have much time left, and is counting on him.
Zeke: There's a storm coming.
Cole: Yeah, there is.
The following mission allows you to draw electrical energy from the sky in the form of giant bolts of lightning.
Oh yeahhhh, I remember that mission! It felt so good having that supply of power!
Oh damn, I didn't realize you ever actually got to captain the Queen Anne's Revenge. I really need to finish Black Flag.
Honestly, if you're upgrading the Jackdaw properly by the time you actually get to captain the Queen Anne's Revenge it's actually a downgrade since a fully upgraded Jackdaw has equal firepower and is faster.
That happened in the middle of the storyline... You're missing like half the story.
@@prdurnion83 I mean, I borrowed the game from someone. That's pretty much as far as I got before I had to give it back.
@@Chloe_Zana Black Flag is easily my favorite of the entire series. Absolutely worth buying it at this point. But yeah, I felt like it was a downgrade when I got to that mission because I had been upgrading the Jackdaw all along.
I need to clean the rollers on my PS4 so I can finish it lol
Berserker mode from Doom 2016 and Eternal. Being able to rip and tear through enemies using your bare hands was one of the most memorable parts of those two games
Im surprised theres no Fierce Deity mask from Majora's - that thing was amazing!
Ah... Splinter Cell Conviction. This part was made so incredible because of the timeless classic "Midnight in a Perfect World" by DJ Shadow playing in the background. I was a huge fan of the album it's from, "...Endtroducing", at the time, so hearing it suddenly show up during this epic invincibility badass segment...let's just say I was shouting, shooting, and grinning a LOT.
"What's great about responsibility?" Jane speaks to me on a spiritual level, there.
The Ashtray Maze was literally the first thing I thought of upon reading the list title. Best epic moment with most boring name.
I thought about the moment in the original Walking Dead season, after Lee is bit and he just murdalizes any zombie he comes across to get to Clementine. I love that moment, especially if you keep Lees other arm cause he grabs a glass shard and yeah, you probably know what I’m talking about. It’s really cool
Thank you! The start of this video made me laugh harder than I have in a long time!
"Great, meaning large or immense! I use it in the pejorative sense!"
You can always count on Andy for perfect deployment of Simpsons quotes.
I'm really glad that someone else noticed that.
All other MP games ever: "Let's have a standard option easily available where players play co-op instead of griefing. After all, all group missions need co-op!"
Rockstar: "...what is this alien language you speak? Lopts of co-op missions, ZERO INCENTIVE to not grief! ...whaddya mean players are abandoning the Online bit?"
They don't just fail to encourage you not to grief, in a lot of missions, they encourage people to grief by announcing the person making a delivery or whatever and marking them on everyone's map as being in the mission. And there's quite a few missions in which they don't let you do them in private lobbies.
The first time I used the Drive forms in Kingdom Hearts 2 was one of the coolest moments I've played in a game. Especially Final, where you're floating around with two keyblades hovering behind your back
No Prototype?
The very 1st mission gives you all the powers and abilities and sets you free to cause as much chaos and destruction as you want.
Its the perfect candidate for this type of video.
You guys helped keep me entertained while I sick. Thanks. Glad I found you.
Where's Luke when you need him? 2:48 the Queen Anne's Revenge (AC4 at least) isn't a frigate, It's a ship of the line! The clue is the two gun decks below the main deck.. and yes, I do realise how sad it is that I know that.
Knowing history is never sad.
Good ship knowledge.
Not sad, nauti.
While it is technically a Ship of the Line the game only had the “Frigate” class of ship to classify it as.
Oh look! Someone pulled a Mike there.
Splinter Cell: you can have a little Mark and Execute, as a treat
Sam Fisher: hold my chevrons
What about The witcher 3, specifically near the end where you can play as Ciri after she master her powers? She is so powerful she makes Geralt feel like a kid playing swords with a stick.
Daniel Delgado Wait... The Witcher 3 has an end??
@@j.a.weishaupt1748 Two in fact.
Not if you skill Geralt Properly.
Thanks!
Yeah, that ashtray maze section of control was fantastic! It's just epic! Definitely my number 1 on this list
Good luck being "responsible" with your powers after you've unlocked all three components of Unrelenting Force.
FUS RO DAH
There's an amazing two step system I love:
1) Throw Voice to the top of mountain or cliff's edge.
1.5) Make sure to stealthily follow behind whoever came to investigate, and when necessary repeat step 1 to keep them invested.
2) When target has reached the top: Unrelenting Force
Saints Row 4 had another badass moment. The one where you finally get power armor. You got the touch! You got the powaaaaaaa! Yeah!
I love that part, using literal power armor to explode hundreds of Zin and German Suplexing an Alien Overlord before ripping his head off while listening to You Got The Touch by Stan Bush
reminds me of the time in Far Cry Blood Dragon when you get that ninja star and the character sings The Touch. Ngl, as a Transformer geek it's good to know the song was used elsewhere...even if it's something silly like in Far Cry's case, although I haven't played saints 4 yet, only the third.
@@Gmanunit13vers2 "You got the Touch" (or whatever the actual name is) is great in the Shadow Warrior 1 and 2 games.
@@johnyshadow the song is simply The Touch btw also nice, I'm kinda curios now how many forms of media use the song
I believe it was first used in the 1986 transformers movie, but I can't quite say. Great song though
How about the first time you're given a tank in the Halo series?
Those poor Grunts, Jackals, Elites, and Hunters just didn't stand a chance.
As one marine put it: “Tank beats everything! Oh man I could do this all day!”
And spending tens of minutes to take it past where it was obviously intended to be left behind. That's a power trip we earned ourselves!
Final Fantasy 15: Leviathan fight. Flying around launching explosive weapons or going up close and personal against the goddess of the seas as the choir gets louder as the boss’s health goes down.
The end of the Darkness was definitely this... Bad dudes everywhere, but you become somewhat invincible, and wreck face!
Persona 5: shooting a false god in the face with a giant gun.
Also the the final calling card. And summoning a demon Lord in general.
And the power of friendship
Begone
That moment when you got your light back in destiny 2 or everytime you got a new subclass unlocked, when those golden glowing trees are everywhere granting you a full super bar when you walk through them. Or that one that one time in Code Vein when you and your friends fought Jack/the Hunter in the Cathedral of the holy blood. I know it was in a cutscene and he was pretty much handing your asses to you (it was 4 on 1) the music was just awesome
The infinite super in Destiny 2 is always an ultimate power moment - space magic is awesome.
Ah yes .was badass when I got my golden gun back
Me before this video: this better have Control’s ashtray max.
Me after: ASHTRAY MAZE YES.
Saints Row IV. Power armor, smashing your way through an alien ship while The Touch plays.
Dragon Age Inquisition. Getting the ability to make the anchor explode in the final dlc.
Metal Gear Solid 4. Piloting REX.
Final Fantasy XV. Fighting Leviathan fully unleashed.
Dragon Age 2. Prologue. Varrics storytelling.
Star Wars the Force Unleashed. Pulling a f**king star destroyer out of the sky.
Witcher 3. Playing as Ciri vs the wild hunt and Caranthir in Skellige.
The very beginning of the first Darksiders. Starting off as a fully upgraded War is pretty god-like.
Assassin's Creed 3: Walking into Abstergo while holding the Apple of Eden
Wow, no "sorry I was on mute", "uuuh can you repeat that?" or awkward silences, seems like the most unrealistic part of splinter cell was the representation of remote meetings. That's the real power.
Honestly, what I remember most about Splinter Cell Conviction was the brutal interrogation scenes where you could use different pieces of the environment to batter people in various, horrible ways... like punching their face through a sink.
when you said the control bit, i thought "man this reminds me of that part in Alan Wake"... awesome!
The most impossibly badass moment I have experienced in recent times- The entire end sequence of DMC5 (spoilers). As not only Dante, but more so as Nero. He brought the pain and I was so happy the entire fight.
The Ashtray Maze was the coolest curveball a game has thrown at my in a long time! I absolutely loved it.
I laughed very hard at the cassette/pencil joke. Then I got sad because I'm old. So very old.
I thought instead about how Jane was handling the loose tape wrong. :p I was like "don't snarl it up MORE by wadding it up!!!"
I'm in my early thirties with my birthday in exactly 2 weeks.
I remember cassette tapes, floppy disks of both sizes, televisions that got their video signal via antennae, and I have physical 8 track tapes in my home.
@@azuredragoon2054 I own a USB device for reading floppy disks. :p
Kids still know what cassette tapes are
Not old, mate. Higher level. More experience and all.
At the end of Kid Icarus, when you actually get to unlock the treasures and use them - that felt pretty good to me.
