10 BADASS Video Game Levels We Can't SHUT UP About

[@jonathanmellette8541]

Ashtray Maze on Control is the epitome of a "badass level"!

[@Mattchoo1026]

Especially with that music!!

[@robingeorge9585]

Yeah seriously where is it on this list? Booooo

[@KynteGuru]

yo! i was about to comment this!

[@ThePawerStation]

I was going to say that. MY GOD. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO DELIVER.

[@chrisstaats9237]

I loved that game and then when that level started I became a god! Lol

[@mjkrh]

RDR 2 just walking to that big Manor with the gang to save baby Marston😮🔥🔥

[@theaccursedj.e.2723]

That fucking scene! Chills every damn time! The tension, the lighting on the ride in, Dutch and the gang had ice running in their veins. Gah! Perfection!

[@ekampreet3128]

"Kicking the hornet's nest" in Far Cry 3 is peak badassery. Burning Weed with flamethrower, "Make it bun dem" by Skrillex playing in the background and Jason going batshit insane. It's one of the best moments in gaming tbh.

[@rodrigocampos1302]

More like batshit high

[@ARIXANDRE]

Titanfall 2's "Effect and Cause" could probably make for an excellent stand-alone game. Have a great week, Jake and crew!

[@zerofox641]

One of my favorite parts of the game and it doesn’t even involve piloting a titan. I really wish the time travel mechanics hadn’t been limited to just that one level. That and the fight with Viper are my favorite parts of the game. Still praying for Titanfall 3.

[@FranksCastle702]

Yeah, TF2 was peak. A+ all around. BT deserves a third game!

[@Fallen_jibril]

Titanfall 2 I would have love them make a game based entirely on that time traveling level.

[@20Gyver]

​@@zerofox641Titan Fall 3 is Apex bro if you don't know😅

[@stuartmorley6894]

It might be Titanfall 3 but it's a multiplayer only game. Titanfall 2 is possibly the best of the single player campaigns that used to be attached to multiplayer games. There's only really COD that still does them unfortunately

[@MonBerry]

2018 God of War intro boss fight will always be epic.

[@bobthespud9634]

and Ragnarok's intro too

[@grdamic]

God of war 3 intro fight 👌🏻 pressing in the thumbsticks to have kratos use his thumbs to gouge into Poseidon’s eyes. Then, use his thumbs to turn his head around on his neck.

[@williamswilliams9633]

God ofbwar 3 slaps better than recent ones

[@BiscuitXL]

Cyberpunk 2077: When you let Johnny take over your body and assault Arasaka Tower, Cello Rebel Path playing and hearing Keanu Reeves say "Let's party like its 2023", while gunning down agents with Johnny's pistol.

[@SuperMurray2009]

It's called ... Don't Fear The Reaper

[@mobyhuge6334]

Don’t fear the reaper is one of the coolest endings to a video game I’ve ever experienced

[@Calekoflight]

@@mobyhuge6334 Infinitely better since you have Johnny popping in like he's the Master of Ceremonies to your symphony of destruction.

[@LowHonorScizor]

Came in to see the Clockwork mansion, was not disappointed. One of the best gaming experiences I've had

[@CdrChaos]

Which game is that?

[@nethalar]

my nominations for 10 more badass video game levels is gonna have to be Chronos from the OG God of War, Suicide Mission from ME2, the new and improved Xen in Black Mesa, The Wedding in Sleeping Dogs, and the final mission, Halo, in Halo 3. I still remember these vividly to this day. Oh and the Estate in OG Modern Warfare 2, where the team gets betrayed by Shephard. I mean you can't forget that one, its ICONIC.

[@Arvendui1]

All time favorite is the Mass Effect 2 suicide mission, one of the very few missions where almost anyone in your party can die if you make the wrong choices. I was a shaking wreck when playing through blind first time.

[@Synninheaven]

How did we forget the 'Git the Beach' level in Halo? The music and waves of enemies makes it feel like a futuristic D-Day

[@drumeshopeth]

I nominate the cinematic train scene in Uncharted 2.

[@swianr]

Cyberpunk2077 johnny silverhand introduction Also Far cry 3 had a lot of crazy missions

[@SuperMurray2009]

This needs more likes

[@Diamond-eq2hj]

Has one of the most badass dialogues where Jason says "it feels like winning" when talking about killing others

[@YouScareOfThe6]

Finally, someone who rightfully gives credit to the DISHONORED saga. How can these gems be so underrated and forgotten sometimes?

[@Tinydevil12]

Jake will never forget the Dishonored games. It's up there with Freedom Fighters hahah

[@KavinRashmitha]

No Ashtray Maze from Control or Sing from Alan Wake 2?

[@Mattchoo1026]

Nope they just talk about games they always seem to talk about. I've noticed they talk about RDR2 A LOT!

[@BieberHole69__]

@@Mattchoo1026yeah man but for good reason… that’s one of the greatest missions of any rockstar game. Absolutely belongs on this list.

[@MrBeetsGaming]

@@Mattchoo1026 Again people are allowed to have a different opinion than you.... If you want videos about YOUR favorites then go make them

[@kalebhawkeyekj1933]

Played the Yarikawa mission literally yesterday for the first time and my god. Best reveal of rage mode I've ever seen.

[@TallulahSoie]

Skyrim crossing the mountain to see Whiterun is one of the most memorable moments for me visually (and also Sovngarde). It was a reminder of playing Halo for the first time. Gameplay levels? Idk, man. I've mostly been an RPG fanatic my entire life. I could list dozens. To avoid that I'm just going to give the nod to the original Halo. All the levels. ALL of them. Skyrim and Halo. No debate.

[@K3lipto]

Personally I feel like Dishonored is one of the best FPP stealthy franchise ever made

[@metalvideos1961]

Dishonored 1 is amazing finished it at least 4 times. never finished the other Dishonored Games. i meant to play them though at some point. not sure if they are really as great as the First game.

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

It only competes with thief and... what else?

[@kinomanssky]

The Ashtray Maze in Control should have made the list cmon!

[@Mattchoo1026]

Sometimes they pick the weirdest crap. Makes me question if they are true gamers 🤦🏾

[@omarmainuddin7251]

I believe they covered this in a separate list

[@jonathanrynjah]

Thy covered it in another vid.

[@MrCheeselover17]

Imagine if they just put the same games on every list. Then yall would complain about that too. Make sure you actually check before commenting lol

[@kinomanssky]

@@MrCheeselover17Chill out. It’s positive “complaint” and yes it’s in the confusing levels list but still I think it’s the most badass gaming level I played imo

[@Lycalol]

To me, the RDR2 Mansion Mission just takes the cake - the story setup was brilliant, the march of the gang and the confrontation at the entrance was peak cinema, the soundtrack was goosebump inducing. Thats what I am a gamer for.

[@raphaelxy]

Horizon forbidden west, Dlc fighting a titan felt so insane, I will never forget that long as fight ❤❤

[@Crashking416]

I played through the masquerade level in Dishonored at least 50 times, and I still can't get enough of it.

[@ExHairfarmer]

Thief: Deadly Shadows. The 'Robbing the Cradle' mission will haunt me for life.

[@shortyipper]

Honestly that was as good level in 2004, same with the Ocean House Hotel, it creeped me out as a teenager and it was a cool level. The character's that give you that quest though, that was as sad story for those two women.

[@Mortiel]

That game was my introduction to the series... To this day, the line: "They don't know I can hear them!" referring to the psychic chatter of those Keeper hunters to this day sticks with me. I was like, "Wait, how _can_ you hear them, Garrett?" 🤣

[@shortyipper]

@ Right! That made me pause when you heard that line. If I remember right it was after the Keeper(?) library was attacked by a hag disguised as a kid you have been working with the whole series to that point. I think it implies that Garret was on the path to becoming one of those hunters. Or it's hidden in some journal entry. Damn now I think I really should try and finish the fourth game.

[@Mortiel]

@shortyipper I found out later that in one of the previous games he was initiated into the Keepers but later left them. That's why he could hear their psychic chatter.

[@coltonjobst3122]

The last main Tyranid mission in Space Marine 2 is wild with literal waves of them coming at you is one of my tops

[@Boss_Fight_Index_muki]

The opening level of Super Metroid is seared into my mind; the way the level tilts and shudders, with the self-destruct timer counting down as you evacuate, is perfect. The way Retro Studios resurrected that opening level in Metroid Prime is awesome also. Modern Warfare 2007 took cues from both Metroids and made its opening level the same way.

[@neonex8860]

I knew nothing about RE 4 or who the hell Mike was but I genuinely teared up after the 30 seconds he was there. I think it was the pain in Leon voice yelling “MIKE!!!” just made me spiral thinking they were best friends and new each other on a personal level. It was some “first 5 minutes of Up” type shit

[@themusesquad8554]

Cant Believe Alqn Wake 2 'We Sing" level isn't on the list.

[@gameranxTV]

👍

[@RysloFC]

Between that and the Ashtray Maze in Control, Remedy got hosed.

[@themusesquad8554]

@RysloFC agree take control was so awesome. Even alan wake 1 had a great one in the stage fight.

[@Gertji]

Without googling let me guess you had to viciously endure the games tik tok dialogue on max volume for 20 minutes

Ghost of tsushima is an effin masterpiece

[@juanmanuelruizromero7989]

Dude you really fckd spiderman 2 ending for me

[@TheThird1977]

If it was not mentioned to prevent spoilers, that's understandable, but the ending of the courtroom escape shoot-out being what it was is why the level is so heartbreaking.

[@Manan_K]

The factory in Titanfall 2.

[@AlfredoPuente8]

The entire Dark Souls.

[@e3k701]

MW2's (Original) mission were you need to ice climb, then heartbeat sensor/ stealth and then battle though enemies with the snow mobile is an iconic mission for me!

[@EnigmaOfAnubis]

The time travel missions in Dishonored and Titanfall 2 were my pick for sure

[@lewisbisker351]

The mission in saint's row the third in which you take control of the penthouse while power from Kanye West is blasting in the background the whole time will always be one that sticks in my mind

[@nethalar]

haha this mission was GOATED

That Wolfesnstein level..! My god. Remember playing it over and over, getting ticked until realized it wasn’t just me. Tons of people found it difficult

[@CrimsonFIame]

Disappointed to this day that we only got to play as Venom once while being voiced by such a bad ass actor. Yet we got multiple moments to play as MJ and that one deaf chick having her own side mission. I remember seeing people cope about it claiming it felt more special that he was playable once as if we haven't gotten to play venom in other games Ultimate Spiderman on the Ps2 being one of the best.

[@ferrellgray-nz8ge]

spider-man 2 is incredibly mediocre. no idea why it was so beloved.

[@kaisen3]

And now we'll never get that opportunity again since Tony Todd is gone sadly. Insomniac really dropped the ball

[@Mattchoo1026]

Fucking facts homie!!

[@TheChilipepper77]

According to the leaks we were supposed to get a venom game in a few years, but due to those leaks insomniac delayed everything

[@SpeedKing..]

Spiderman 2 was the second most disappointing game I've ever seen, only to bf 2042

[@FixionekPLAY]

My favorite level from DOOM Eternal is definitely "Mars Core"

[@20Gyver]

Hell yea

[@dizzytitan815]

Red dead 2 manor mission better be here!

[@dizzytitan815]

Ayy i got my pick!

[@adityasivaram6175]

“Straw Meet Camel” from Spider-Man (2018) is still one of the very best levels in the entire game. Granted, the level design was not fantastic in the game, but the escalation of conflict through the Fisk construction site, all the way up to the helicopter on the roof, and immediately following it up with one of the most insane QTEs, AND a ridiculous helicopter chase (that also ends in an utterly badass QTE) is one of the most adrenaline pumping levels ever, and I smiled ear to ear through every second of it. I’ve played it a hundred times, and watched it as a gameplay trailer even more times. Never ceases to amaze me.

[@SuperMurray2009]

If Don't Fear the Reaper isnt on this list then I'm rioting

[@yellowbmo]

Yes exactly what I've been saying.

[@rj20za]

Some Iconic video game levels to me are Cod's No Russian & the mission in the cabin before Shepard's betrayal can't remember its name. Challenging Red at Mt. Silver in Pokemon Silver & climbing the tower to meet Raquaza. In DMC that one level inside a monster entrails is the whole level. FF16 vs the Titan. Blighttown in Dark Souls very good & creepy level for me. RDR2 climbing the mountain in the end was iconic. Halo's first flood level. so many too remember

[@dynamicphotography_]

Don't Fear The Reaper.

[@snoookie456]

That isn't even RDR 2's most badass moment. The realest most badass moment is Arthur's "Return for the Money" ending.

[@Jackrazorus]

That is not what the video is about, though. It is about levels.

[@snoookie456]

@@Jackrazorus it is part of the level. After your horse gets shot you are given a choice. Accompany John to safety or go back, gun down everyone you can on your way to confront Micah, tell him he's weak and stick a knife in his eye. I've never felt more badass shooting at people than I did at that moment in the game.

[@marqueefleton]

I’ll always say the final level of halo 3 is such a rush

[@zmasterrahlg]

The Ciri sequence at the end of The Witcher 3 where all of her powers are maxed and she just slices through everything instantly deserves a mention.

[@Lance_Lesh1]

For me it's gotta be the intro levels for "Battlefield V" the detail is insane and absolutely beautiful.

[@jayashiTGUY]

A crack in the slab from Dishonored 2. It should have been in the list. It even better than Clockwork Mansion imo.

[@RvkKJ]

The amount of appreciation the Clockwork Mansion gets is never enough

[@visionhawk4403]

That Venom part was like being the Hulk for a little bit.

[@bryann6712]

Opening level to medal of honor Frontline is the best intro to any video game. Change my mind.

[@almartin4]

I would add several missions from MOH Airborne. Regards

[@Treebsquire]

Playing the Resident Evil 4 sequence in Vr was absolutely mind blowing.

[@MaxModded]

This was a great list and a great concept for a video! I've only played half of these, but the others look awesome. Nevertheless, I wanted to throw a level into the mix that at least deserves an honorable mention. I'm not surprised it's not here because it's pretty old (although, so is Dishonored 1), but it's from the first Crysis. Mission 5: "Onslaught." That level is amazing and IYKYK.

[@knolanhuxby8003]

You’ve failed to mention “awesome smithing” from Sunset Overdrive. One of the greatest moment in gaming history

[@arjunghose02]

I just did NG+ Ghost of Tsushima on PS5. The Yarikawa mission was absolutely EPIC. Even though I already had ghost stance atp, it still was just as great to do it within the mission. That shot of the gang going up to the Braithwaites mansion is ingrained into my brain as well. The island section is pretty tough in it's own right in RE4 remake.But I had a blast once Mike showed up

[@BoondockRoberts]

Mass Effect 2 Suicide assault on the Collector Base. Far Cry Blood Dragon, final mission, Dico Inferno mission in Bullet Storm and Far Cry 5, first escape from a collapsing ruin in Tomb Raider 2013, and despite the game being Trash, the Shark and Deborah boss fights in Resident Evil 6 we're cinematicly amazing.

[@phoenixdzk]

Titanfall 2 Effect & Cause, We don't go to Raventholm in HL 2 and the Hollow invasion in Gears 2 are some of my 0ersonal favorites

[@marclewis-g6m]

Dog eat dog from cyberpunk having us rescue the president from Dogtown unlocked a core memory for me

[@vortenn]

Pripyat mission from first Modern Warfare and Ocean House Hotel from V:TM Bloodlines. Many, maaaaany games later I still remember those two like it was yesterday.

[@kaineshigaraki5253]

Every time I see a video talking about RDR2, I think, “man I gotta replay this game again.”

[@abrarkhan936]

The moment I read the title and the first thing that came to mind is the Ashtray Maze from control. It is undoubtedly the most original, epic and mesmerising gameplay moment there is

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

Yeah, these do look like awesome levels.

[@thisismyaltaccount85]

The Fort Frolic level of BioShock has always stuck with me over the years. Also when you become a little sister in Bio2, mostly just for the novelty of it.

[@mattpenix8438]

Atomic Heart was such a good FPS, one of the better in the genre in recent memory. Wish it got more attention than it did.

The Ashtray Maze from Control and (Don't Fear) The Reaper from Cyberpunk 2077 are two of my favourite missions from any video game. Both are incredible.

[@khrisbreezy3628]

It isn't a "level" per-se, but Metroid Prime 2's Sanctuary Fortress is my favorite zone or area in the entire Metroid series! Best tech aesthetic, best boss fights in the game in Dark Samus 2 and Quadraxis, fun platforming, grapple swinging, morph ball puzzles, even the Screw Attack in its 3D Metroid debut! Such a great area, not without fault, but so good it outweighs any complaint I'll ever have. Badass music too!

[@Sharkparty65]

The Clockwork Mansion rightfully gets plenty of love but the automatons, the Clockwork Soldiers, are super underappreciated as enemies. I love that their "voice" is recorded notes by Jindosh.

[@KarneXII]

GOW original: opening level. The ship with the Kraken. Golden Sun: Sol Sanctum established the great puzzles and phenomenal soundtrack. Skyrim: Blackreach. Exploring through random ruins and caves to suddenly drop into a giant underground fortress complete with its own underground dragon.

[@djgroopz4952]

Going down into Siofra River was magical though. Clockwork mansion was incredible. So many games with magnificent levels. I love gaming!!!

[@alexblanco2504]

Holy Old Gods of Asgard, Batman... HOW could you leave off the insane level of Alan Wake 2 with Alan and actor David Harewood singing to him from huge concert-style panels all the way through the maze?! I despise musicals, but even I had to take a half hour after that level to compose myself (pun intended). Without doubt, the most mind-blowing level I've played in over four decades of gaming... and I play about 50-70 games a year. ;-)

[@calvinmartin1305]

I don't know, anything to do with the Buzzards in Mad Max. The first time you go to Underdune for Christmas light, that buried church for food, or back to Underdune for Glory. Also the Bank, Hokkaido, and the Bath House in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. The whole game is good, but those were some of my favorite missions. House of Cards and Dance with the Devil from Blood Money were good, but The Lee Hong Assassination and Seafood Massacre contracts were also great in Contracts. God of War 2 and 3s intros were wild. Not to mention Kronos' boss fight. Then there were the Valkyries and especially their Queen in 2018. Fort Frolic in Rapture. Eh, the whole game of Bioshock has more then a few moments of: "Oh, snap. What did I just walk in on?" Good times.

[@Darkraixr]

today's editing was badass too

[@adityabhattacharjee6409]
