In Days Gone, it was always fun to lure freakers or hordes into ambush camps and letting them deal with the horde 😂 you can even bring some hordes back to one of your allied camps and let them deal with it. Any game where the game has enemy in-fighting is always entertaining to sit back and let them do the dirty work.
In Far Cry I love stalking outposts with just my longbow and setting ambush points with my trip mines when the guards/patrols start walking around. It never gets old and is always really satisfying.
Just Cause 3 is one of my favorite open world games. Two of my favorite things to do was #1. Go to the tallest mountain and have a barely in control Tank race downhill to the beach. Just don't shoot at bridges that you have to drive under. #2. I also liked to go to the tallest building in the game and spawn a battleship to land on the roof, perfectly centered and balanced, and then use cables to keep it from falling off.
Didn’t play JC3, but I instantly fell in love with JC4. Had no idea how much the environment was destructible and finding out by accident was amazing. Not to mention all of the insane weapons and vehicles you get with the Ultimate edition, like the hoverboard and the jetpack!? I hope they make a sequel.
A variation of the Wanted Level (#7) fun in games: finding a room/store/building with cover inside so police/guards have to funnel in only to meet their doom one by one.
I always loved blocking a freeway ramp with a truck or bus wait for traffic to pile, then shoot a rocket at the cards and see how many can chain an explosion. Really fun watching the NPCs on motorcycles start flying around from all the explosions
I spend more time stealing from NPC's in Skyrim than doing anything else I think( maybe doing the assassinations missions would be equally ),I just love those two guilds.
Same here. I do the same thing in the Fallout games, too. 60% of the playtime is looting and pickpocketing, 39% of the time is crafting and smithing, and 1% is actually playing the game.
Surprised that Outer Worlds didn't get a mention in the stealing from npcs section. As long you're not seen as well as door is closed, you can steal without any consequences. Then there are JRPGs like Dragon Quest, (early) Final Fantasy, and few other series, as well games like Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. You can just about enter anywhere, go through everything, and take anything, *without* the actions considered a crime.
In Sleeping Dogs you can actually shove NPCs into the trunk of your car and do brutalities with car door and environment that is something I really love about that game.
Every time I had the objective to abduct someone in that game, I’d run full speed at the trunk. Wei would slam their head into it before doing it a second time during the animation to put them in the trunk. Got a laugh every time
@@lopiklop I said or. It can be made from the same company and take place in Japan, China, and I wouldn’t care what place it takes place as long as there’s a similar game.
In Red 2 I like hog tying the characters throwing them on my horse and taking them out for miles in the middle of nowhere and setting them free sometimes if you have dynamite you can walk inside the saloon and blow it up
The Arkham Knight point was hilarious 😂😂😂 I think what they were going for is that the thugs don’t even get to touch the Batmobile, they get shocked and launched instead of getting hit. It really doesn’t make it better, no matter how you look at it 😂
I think one of the fun bugs in a game I've ever had fun with was the Weapon Pad bug in Halo 5: Guardians. Initially, you could use the weapon pads in Halo 5's forge mode to set what weapons would spawn where when forging maps. But, players found a bug that would allow you to merge the effects of one weapon with another with rather silly to down right badass results. Like a shotgun that fired hydra mini-rockets or turrets that fired fuel rod cannon rounds. Players were having soo much fun coming up with all sorts of crazy weapon combinations as well as crazy game modes based around them that 343 never ended up removing the bug and left it in for players to continue to enjoy. Another thing I love to do in open world games sometimes is just see how long I could follow the rules/laws of a game world or be like an NPC. Like in GTA, just driving around casually and following the rules, stopping at stop lights and all that. Or like in RDR2, I would just spend hours just hunting, fishing or like horse breaking...not really doing any of the missions or whatnot. I'd just stock up on supplies and set off into the mountains or forests and set up camp while hunting or fishing. Or find some wild horses and break one in and raise its stats up. Then after a few days, I'd return to town and sell off my haul to see how much money I could make.
I wish more devs would just leave fun bugs alone like that. I hate it when a dev wrecks their game by obsessively trying to balance everything and just ends up making everything less fun.
In regards to a wanted system & seeing how long I can survive for, it's easily Jak II. And depending on the circumstances, like the place in the story you try it, whether or not you use weapons & dark powers, etc. It's a whole lot of fun to do from time to time, especially since the games a whole lot of going back & forth to begin with. It's just sad it can't happen in Jak 3, but at least it makes sense within the context of that games story.
I recently found out that I like the sound effects and the subtle slowing of time in Rage 2 when you run over or rather through the enemies with a vehicle.
I appreciate someone talking about the urge to drive into pedestrians in a video game in a way that doesn't make you feel bad. I always pretend like that's not something I do, but you know, everyone does it, but most people, like myself, don't want to admit it because it might make you sound like a maniac. We're not people with terrible violent tendencies, it's just a way to explore doing something that you will never do in real life.
On NFS Most Wanted for ps2 it recorded the longest time you've been chased with a successful escape & I spent a ton of hours just destroying cop cars tryina beat my own records
To things I love to do in modern open world games, is take a helicopter or jet and fly to it's high limit and free fall. Than open the parachute at the last possible second. Or open the parachute or wing suit at the highest point, and see how far I can go across the map until I hit the ground.
When I was a kid, I would drive in GTA3 and obey the traffic laws listening to Chatterbox in the rain. Maybe cause I couldn’t drive yet? Weird but oddly satisfying at the time
That week in GTA online when the Taxi Cab Stand had that God Mode glitch, a group of us decided to guard the cab stand so nobody could use it. We put a big pile of cars on top of the yellow interaction circle so nobody could get at it. One got shot up and started to burn, and they all started exploding. It was like popcorn popping. Guarding that Cab Stand was some of the most fun I ever had in GTAO. We had snipers on rooftops, a Kanjali tank watching the road and Chernobog for AA. There was a few people that kept coming at us with everything in the game. It was a great time, there is almost never any kind of cooperation or group tactics in GTA. There is potential for an organized war in GTA that might be better than Battlefiled, if you can get people to stick to the plan and play that way. But there is always someone that thinks ruining a good time is more fun and they sit in the orbital canon or MK2 spam.
the main two i have is .doing every single side mission i can find before the main story (especially assassins creed games) and .finding overpowered and secret weapons before i should in AC valhalla i got Excalibur way sooner than i should have
Not necessarily in just open world games, but I love messing with drivable cars in any game that has them. Like I love to see how much damage the car can take before it is unusable. Burnout 3 world tour was my absolute favorite for this, as it was the main aim of the game.
You guys should do a Top Ten games we like, period. No other criteria, just a video of you and Jake talking about ten games you like. Maybe throw some lesser known games you really enjoy
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed still has some of the best enemy characters to mess with. Booting Jawas with the force, spinning Stormtroopers like dreidels, force pushing dudes hundreds of feet. Just amazing physics
I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that saves at least one stormtrooper just to see how much damage I can do to them by bashing them into walls and spinning them until they inevitably fill their helmets with vomit
I absolutely love duplication glitches, infinite money glitches, secret chests/items. So much fun. And sometimes the glitches get left in so it is actually in the game forever!
I bought Prototype Biohazard Bundle for 3$ recently on sale and i gotta admit even though there aren't basically any enhancements except resolution they still are awesome games and too bad they didn't got a sequel.
One thing I'm really obsessed with is if its an open world survival game I'll never cut any trees down in the area I plan on building my base, I literally walk a mile and carry would back so I don't turn my base into a barren desert
You gotta live in a natural and beautiful environment. Strip all the resources from other areas and haul them back to your own little survival paradise.
In Fallout 4, I wanted to jump off the Prydwen SO MANY TIMES. I’d get so immersed it felt like real life, so I didn’t. Next time I boot it up Ima try it tho. Thanks for the encouragement!
I just love kicking NPCs off cliffs or high buildings, one of the great features in assassins creed, it never gets old. Or like in RdR2 hanging them from a side of a cliff or bridge. It's a compulsion
I've done most of these things at least once in games. It's definitely fun to mess with the NPC's, scare them, or use them as play things, but also cause chaos and mayhem with vehicles and traffic! I also love to find the tallest building or object and jump off of it.😂
Bonus in video: Get in a car and commit vehicular manslaughter Meanwhile me when I'm bored and get into car in an open-world game: *cruising around and obeying all traffic laws*
there's also the "messing with your vehicle/horse/mount" if you can call it and see what it will do (from batman to zeldas to witcher to cyberpunk to ghost of tsushima)
I don't UNDERSTAND HOW well crafted parkour abilities is NOT in a well made open world game?? It would be so catchy and fun to find creative ways to navigate unique locations and situations.
Cheating to progress is mandatory in bugthesda games, multiple iterations of skyrim and the main quest bugging out was never fixed. Fully expect to hear the same thing happening in starfield
EVERY Time I jump a height though, a good height - the BEST height even. My head and stomach leaves me EVERY time to varying degrees ofc and it is fkng THRILLING lol
I really enjoy playing Just Cause 2. There's an air propulsion gun in the game which lets you to just blow up npcs in the air and enjoy seeing them fall down and die.
Omg watch dogs 2 using the rc drone to infiltrate a building without entering personal then calling the cop on people or gang members and jsut sitting back and watching the chaos unfold.
I loved putting the Pedestrian Riot cheat in San Andreas and just sitting on a roof and watching the mayhem unfold, I would take pictures of the ensuing chaos.. I had whole memory cards full of them 😂😂😂
One of my favourite franchise is watch dogs because of how much chaos you can cause in those games. It's seriously has some of the best NPC interactions and interactivity in the world.Great video👍. Edit: watch dogs is really great in npc interactivity though. Dont know if gta or rdr is unmatched or not but watch dogs has many things that those franchises dont in terms of npc interactivity. And i don't think anyone will disagree with that.
I remember one night when I had been sick from the flu, I was playing WD2 when it had came out to try and pass time and get my mind off of feeling like pure shite. I had lost track of time with how much fun I was having by messing with NPCs via hacking and having gangs/enemies go against one another. I’d sit crouched up on a roof somewhere hidden and just sit back and laugh at the interactions. Barely did any of the missions - just messed with NPCs.
im so glad you showed footage of Divinity Original Sin 2 in relation to stealing. I've first played DoS2 with 2 other friends late last 2022 and we were so skimped on gold until we figured out we should've start stealing from NPC's that we plan to never talk again. unfortunately i never finished DoS2 but my other 2 friends finished without me, i do plan on soloing to completion in the future
Omg I saw the old stealing missions from GTA with Carl that brought back so much nostalgia I love that shit it was so amazing back in the day no game had ever made me feel like I could like in that world like that game did just allowing small shit like that and robbing clerks at counters and shit
One very underrated game that barely anyone knows about is Swords n Magic and stuff !!Its so fun and entertaining they have cool mechanics you can use different spells and multiple cool weapons . They actively work with the community to fix either bugs or get ideas !Its co-op and has its own servers and is definitely a must try !!Right now it’s still being worked on but most definitely worth it 10/10
In the Norway map in Call of the Wild: The Angler, there is a vista that's a Pride Rock-like projection off a massive mountain. The only delay in me jumping off of it was to get a running start
I know it's 5 months later, but I remember the first time I played the first mission where they tell you to jump off the roof. That alone let me know this was going to be a good time
I just don't understand why we don't get another game like red faction guerrilla that game is engrained in my brain for how much I loved it back in the day, i go back and play it to this day it was so good
In GTA I like going to a group and start aggro. Then when one goes to push you, move quickly so he accidentally pushes another NPC and they start fighting each other. Sit back and enjoy the ensuing carnage. Or sitting at a busy intersection with a red light and start revving the engine and wheel spinning. The other drivers just go nuts and start driving like lunatics.
I love messing around with physics and making crazy stuff happen and laughing myself silly when whatever you're trying to do doesn't work :'D (Zelda Tears of the Kingdom)
I'd walk around for hours just talking to NPCs in all the different towns in RDR2 just to see the different interactions. Arthur will even get upset if you press "antagonize" when an NPC doesn't greet you back
I live in Florida and I ment this crazy girl that actually did run over a person on pourpse. She did a few years in prison for it. I asked her what that sounded like and what happened after words. She said she was only going like 10-15 mph and it was a loud thud and she said she could actually hard and feel the ladys body as she passed under the car. The woman lived and was just left with relatively minor injuries. She slept with the girls BF. True story.
Bro i remember in GTA 4 and Rdr1 where id just fall off the roofs of short buildings without dying but just ragdolling till i hot the ground and then parkouring my way back up, but in GTA 4 and rdr1 the parkour mechanics were much deeper and allowed for more freedom and fun unlike GTA 5 or the lrevious ones where you couldnt even vault, nostalgia
Reminds me of GTA San Andreas. I would put on the cheat that allowed you to do big bunny hops on the BMX bike and i would try to see what buildings i could get onto.
That glitch in cyberpunk where you open the fridge and the dude falls out and the glass shatters scared the shit out of me the first time XD. I thought I was being shot at haha
I think a good one for the list would be trying to break the in game economy. Being so rich that you can buy everything and drain all the merchants money
When I'm playing GTA 5, and I'm driving around anywhere and I see somebody on a motorcycle (especially if its coming towards me in the opposite lane).....well, time to find out how good his brakes and reflexes are!
I was like "there is no way Gamranx is going through this list without mentioning red faction guerrilla" and then POW, right in the bonus. Gotta love it
Just watching that dude spiral like a football in prototype makes me wanna play that game just to throw an npc off the tallest building. Thanks, Gameranx!
In Sons of the Forest, we set traps with turtle shells. Animals or muddies step on them and get hurled 12 feet into the air. I had a giggle fit watching it. Rabbits are just gone. lmao
In Saints Row 4 you can really go nuts since you have super powers, you can literally do the same thing as running over people by just running around. You have missions where the point is to destroy as many cars and buildings as possible. You have missions that the point is to get run over and get thrown in the air as many times as possible. It’s a paradise for people that love to go completely nuts in an open world game
I'm a huge fan of testing vehicle durability. I'm always disappointed when a game (especially a racing game) has no damage modeling. That's not as common now, but the Gran Turismo series (which I genuinely enjoy) is sadly on that list.
Honestly, one of the reasons why I preferred GTA IV over GTA V. As much as people complained about the driving and crashing physics in IV, it felt more realistic. To me, everything felt like supped up tanks in V where vehicles felt more heavy and stuck to the roads and driving fast into things seemed to only do minimal damage to the vehicle. But in IV, the driving felt more real. Even if some of the normal cars, taking certain turns too fast meant you could possibly roll the vehicle over and running into enough things could leave your vehicles crumpled and mangled.
I dunno why but in every open world game I like to shoot lightbulbs, street lights, lamps, etc. because I want to see if they break. It's like force of habit
My favourite was trying to take on all of a town in the Elder Scrolls Morrowind. Make a spell that does drain health 1 point on target for 100 feet then get your hammer ready
In Days Gone, it was always fun to lure freakers or hordes into ambush camps and letting them deal with the horde 😂 you can even bring some hordes back to one of your allied camps and let them deal with it. Any game where the game has enemy in-fighting is always entertaining to sit back and let them do the dirty work.
Days gone is such an underrated game
I did that a LOT in Horizon: Zero Dawn. I'd tame a machine and watch it fight another machine.
@@richarddixon3427 with good reason (it’s lazy)
Days gone is the best apocalypse game out there. Everything runs as it should the story and characters are fantastic
I love days gone it deserves so much more appreciation
In Far Cry I love stalking outposts with just my longbow and setting ambush points with my trip mines when the guards/patrols start walking around.
It never gets old and is always really satisfying.

My favourite thing to do in GTA is ragdoll. Gta IV has some of the best ragdolling physics I've seen. Ah good times
Prototype made me feel like a super hero as a kid, then I started to understand the story
Getting Niko drunk and then rag filling was hilarious
Too bad theres no button to ragdoll in online like there is in story mode
@@derekwilhelm1555 in gta 4 there was never a button, you had to get hit slightly by a car or get punched hard enough for it to happen lol
I always loved blocking a freeway ramp with a truck or bus wait for traffic to pile, then shoot a rocket at the cards and see how many can chain an explosion. Really fun watching the NPCs on motorcycles start flying around from all the explosions

Edit: watch dogs is really great in npc interactivity though. Dont know if gta or rdr is unmatched or not but watch dogs has many things that those franchises dont in terms of npc interactivity. And i don't think anyone will disagree with that.
I remember one night when I had been sick from the flu, I was playing WD2 when it had came out to try and pass time and get my mind off of feeling like pure shite.
I had lost track of time with how much fun I was having by messing with NPCs via hacking and having gangs/enemies go against one another. I’d sit crouched up on a roof somewhere hidden and just sit back and laugh at the interactions.
Barely did any of the missions - just messed with NPCs.
I actually think the Batmobile is shocking the thugs back to life, like the Shock Paddles in Saint's Row 2!
“10 really fun THAYANGS” 😂 whether on purpose or not, loved it man.
im so glad you showed footage of Divinity Original Sin 2 in relation to stealing. I've first played DoS2 with 2 other friends late last 2022 and we were so skimped on gold until we figured out we should've start stealing from NPC's that we plan to never talk again. unfortunately i never finished DoS2 but my other 2 friends finished without me, i do plan on soloing to completion in the future
Omg I saw the old stealing missions from GTA with Carl that brought back so much nostalgia I love that shit it was so amazing back in the day no game had ever made me feel like I could like in that world like that game did just allowing small shit like that and robbing clerks at counters and shit
One very underrated game that barely anyone knows about is Swords n Magic and stuff !!Its so fun and entertaining they have cool mechanics you can use different spells and multiple cool weapons . They actively work with the community to fix either bugs or get ideas !Its co-op and has its own servers and is definitely a must try !!Right now it’s still being worked on but most definitely worth it 10/10
In the Norway map in Call of the Wild: The Angler, there is a vista that's a Pride Rock-like projection off a massive mountain.
The only delay in me jumping off of it was to get a running start
is that the right smack dab in the middle? Had such a hard time I gave up.
Infamous was the first game I felt compelled to climb the highest point and jump off. Gave me a rush every time.
I know it's 5 months later, but I remember the first time I played the first mission where they tell you to jump off the roof. That alone let me know this was going to be a good time
Yeeting a npc off a building with a baseball bat in dying light 2 never gets old
6:00 stealing them THEN sell them back to the owner hahaha
Hahahah, great, Ghost Busters reference with the highway pile ups there Falcon
I just don't understand why we don't get another game like red faction guerrilla that game is engrained in my brain for how much I loved it back in the day, i go back and play it to this day it was so good
I love the glitchy bridge in red dead 2. When you get that thing going you can really take off into the air.
In GTA I like going to a group and start aggro. Then when one goes to push you, move quickly so he accidentally pushes another NPC and they start fighting each other. Sit back and enjoy the ensuing carnage.
Or sitting at a busy intersection with a red light and start revving the engine and wheel spinning. The other drivers just go nuts and start driving like lunatics.
I created so much chaos before that I had paramedics fighting pedestrians.

🤣😂. Great isn’t it, lol.
I love messing around with physics and making crazy stuff happen and laughing myself silly when whatever you're trying to do doesn't work :'D (Zelda Tears of the Kingdom)
I'd walk around for hours just talking to NPCs in all the different towns in RDR2 just to see the different interactions. Arthur will even get upset if you press "antagonize" when an NPC doesn't greet you back
It is definitely fun to jump off of tall things in open world games! The taller it is, the longer the longer the fall!
I live in Florida and I ment this crazy girl that actually did run over a person on pourpse.
She did a few years in prison for it.
I asked her what that sounded like and what happened after words.
She said she was only going like 10-15 mph and it was a loud thud and she said she could actually hard and feel the ladys body as she passed under the car.
The woman lived and was just left with relatively minor injuries.
She slept with the girls BF.
True story.
The NPC at 0:48 is Chuck Livingston! If you know you know
I chucked so many people in prototype with the bio bomb that the grunt he does is imprinted in my mind
Bro i remember in GTA 4 and Rdr1 where id just fall off the roofs of short buildings without dying but just ragdolling till i hot the ground and then parkouring my way back up, but in GTA 4 and rdr1 the parkour mechanics were much deeper and allowed for more freedom and fun unlike GTA 5 or the lrevious ones where you couldnt even vault, nostalgia
05:49 And when you are done looting the house, you sneak up behind the owner and pickpocket them too, just for good measure.
Number 5 is me in every open world. Gotta climb until you can’t climb anymore lol
Reminds me of GTA San Andreas. I would put on the cheat that allowed you to do big bunny hops on the BMX bike and i would try to see what buildings i could get onto.
Lmaoo he said “I’m going to save the world. What are you going to spend it on??? Milk??” 😂
I really appreciate the ghostbusters line.🤣
Swinging like Spidey so much FUN!
Trying to get out of bounds. No matter how big the open-world is we still try to explore beyond the bounds.
"Making NPCs into your own playthings"
Remembering fun times with tethering in Just Cause 3 🤤
That glitch in cyberpunk where you open the fridge and the dude falls out and the glass shatters scared the shit out of me the first time XD. I thought I was being shot at haha
I think a good one for the list would be trying to break the in game economy. Being so rich that you can buy everything and drain all the merchants money
That one would be amazing and great to do irl. It would solve 99 of my problems.
When I'm playing GTA 5, and I'm driving around anywhere and I see somebody on a motorcycle (especially if its coming towards me in the opposite lane).....well, time to find out how good his brakes and reflexes are!
I was like "there is no way Gamranx is going through this list without mentioning red faction guerrilla" and then POW, right in the bonus. Gotta love it
I still love messing around with GTA 4s physics, they are so fun.
Skate 3 would’ve been a good example for jumping off high things especially with the hall of meat feature where you can see what bones you broke lol
Wasn't there some huge hill that you could haul ass down then obliterate yourself at the bottom lol
@@stevorules1820 a bunch
As soon as I heard you say "robbing everyone blind" I immediately had Elderscrolls in my head then it popped up on the vid. Goooooood times hahaha
6:40 - Falcon lost an opportunity to say he not gonna climb because he can *fly* to the mountain.
That Bill Murray/ Ghostbusters reference was perfect! 😋👍🏾
Just watching that dude spiral like a football in prototype makes me wanna play that game just to throw an npc off the tallest building. Thanks, Gameranx!
Number 7 - such a missed opportunity to mention Chase system in DL/DL2. With "how long can you survive a level 4 night".
Ghostbusters reference!!!! AWESOME :D
This was a fun video, so many points resonated with me 😀
In Sons of the Forest, we set traps with turtle shells. Animals or muddies step on them and get hurled 12 feet into the air. I had a giggle fit watching it. Rabbits are just gone. lmao
In Saints Row 4 you can really go nuts since you have super powers, you can literally do the same thing as running over people by just running around. You have missions where the point is to destroy as many cars and buildings as possible. You have missions that the point is to get run over and get thrown in the air as many times as possible. It’s a paradise for people that love to go completely nuts in an open world game
I'm a huge fan of testing vehicle durability. I'm always disappointed when a game (especially a racing game) has no damage modeling. That's not as common now, but the Gran Turismo series (which I genuinely enjoy) is sadly on that list.
Honestly, one of the reasons why I preferred GTA IV over GTA V. As much as people complained about the driving and crashing physics in IV, it felt more realistic. To me, everything felt like supped up tanks in V where vehicles felt more heavy and stuck to the roads and driving fast into things seemed to only do minimal damage to the vehicle. But in IV, the driving felt more real. Even if some of the normal cars, taking certain turns too fast meant you could possibly roll the vehicle over and running into enough things could leave your vehicles crumpled and mangled.
I dunno why but in every open world game I like to shoot lightbulbs, street lights, lamps, etc. because I want to see if they break. It's like force of habit
Splinter Cell fan.
@@brodriguez11000 You caught me
Moveable objects probably my favorite thing
My favourite was trying to take on all of a town in the Elder Scrolls Morrowind. Make a spell that does drain health 1 point on target for 100 feet then get your hammer ready
You could have called this video “ a guide to a rockstar game, step 1 to 10”
bro.. Red dead is just my number 1 game for like..ever , till i die probably xD
👌👍🏼
I personally love to mess with the AI🙃
