Remember when you collect 1 million coins in super Mario’s bros 2 on the 3ds 100+ hours later all you got was a main menu change (the loading screen changed)

[@808Mark]

Brutal

[@DLight616]

Thats Nintendo. Mario kart 8 was like the too. After collecting so many coins they only give you metal mario in gold. Just one color change. And really a dumb one.

[@richardgearheart1226]

[@mtae5]

Worth it.

[@Curt_Randall]

I can't remember if it took me 100 hours to get to that point, but Subnautica certainly becomes so much of a different experience once you can construct all the deep sea equipment and vehicles and their mods. You get access to deepest and most interesting areas and then access to much more cool stuff for your base.

[@williamparis500]

Yes, this game should have defo been mentioned. Game becomes a very different experience once the upgraded facilities and transport is available.

[@Nah-NoNeed_]

I think they just say 100+ hours because it takes more than just a quick run through of the game to find some of these things on the list.

[@CrossWindsPat]

I just finished my first play through at like 50 hours. What a monumental experience! You start off scared to dive in a tiny cave in the shallows to having every portal and cave entranced with a beacon and a base in the lost river!

[@williamparis500]

@@CrossWindsPat time for me to play again. I'll play on easy mode this time just so I can enjoy the ambiance and travel!

[@adamwest8711]

Yeah. They should have swapped that for Tarkov because the Tarkov summary is basically ‘eventually you gitgud’

[@malikon6953]

number 0: Dying Light. When you get the grappling hook it's a game changer. Suddenly instead of fighting and jumping and climbing across buildings you can swing around like Spider-Man. Totally changes the game.

[@craigsampson3386]

And the glider in number 2 👌

[@dougsteele5387]

[@malikon6953]

@@dougsteele5387 if you don't mind the grind you can get it pretty quick if you grind the turtle supermarket over and over. Honestly that's what I do whenever I start a new play through; I spend a couple hours grinding that one spot over and over until I can get the g.hook, then I start actually playing for real.

[@jonjojr]

... and then you leave the initial map, and open up the bigger second map.

[@malikon6953]

@@jonjojr yeah that surprised the hell out of me too. Then after that there's The Following DLC. .... man,.. Dying Light was/is such a fantastic game. I got way more than I bargained for with that one.

[@liznakleonhardt4406]

Warframe. 100 hours in and it goes from a basic looter shooter with phenomenal gameplay and unique factions, to a story driven epic. It's a fantastic reward that honestly feels bd for new player having to dedicate so much time to get to the juicy bits.

[@ereviscale3966]

Is it worth getting into this late? Will I have to no-life this to have fun?

[@Dannables]

@@ereviscale3966 So I casually have ~450 hours in Warframe (LoL is my main game since 2009) but- Warframe is a great game; just a lot of pure fun to be had being a cyber ninja- It gets sorta complicated; the core game-loop is good/fun, and questing in that game doesn't feel as much like a chore/grind- depending your style of games. Legit I was pleasantly surprised w/ Warframe.

[@liznakleonhardt4406]

@@ereviscale3966 nope! the core gameplay is a lot of fun, and slowly getting more warframes to increase how you can engage with it is a ride. You just won't have the best bits of context till you get farther in. This can be mitigated with veteran players helping you through it to a much more reasonable time. There's also a whole new-newplayer experience they just recently launched that lets you enjoy a bizarre isolated story world from the get go.

[@jonjojr]

@@ereviscale3966 I've been playing the game for 7 years, and probably about 500+ hours,(and thats on a low end). It's a game that you play casually. Get your build, grid for a few days, get what you need, do quest, wait for new content, drop it for a few months and comeback and it feels fresh, rinse and repeat. It is a game I will never stop playing.

[@Thrvsh]

I tried to get back into warframe but so much has changed I didn't know where to start next

[@naplzt4k]

I ended up turning the Red Rocket into a post-apocalyptic compound by walling up the perimeter with junk fences...you can build on the roof

[@troncollective5757]

I always love building on the roof there, I make the ground floor a marketplace

[@firetukker21]

How come we have the exact same experience😂

[@thedavidalopez]

we have different memories of red rocket😅

[@MrSavagemaster]

I built on the roof too. My problem is I wound up hoarding everything to make automated turrets. Tbf each settlement was armed to the teeth. When one got attacked, by the time I got there it was nearly over anyway

[@Nah-NoNeed_]

Just so it’s out there. You can build on the roof of many settlements. Sanctuary is the most obvious example. Just some places don’t have the build limit size. Like hangman’s alley.

[@SylvesterLazarus]

I'll add Phasmophobia. It starts as a horror game where you're pretty much running and hiding for survival while trying to figure out what ghost is haunting a location, but eventually it becomes a information based puzzle game of sorts especially on higher difficulties. You have 26 ghosts now in the game and here's an example: There is one that prefers darkness, always tries to stay in dark rooms, never turns on lights on its own, and attacks you slightly faster than other ghosts. There is one that becomes faster when your sanity (almost like your HP) is lower, and it can place an invisible curse on you that actively drains it, making you run out of it faster, if you use certain devices to listen to the sound of the ghost... and there are 24 other ghosts beyond these two. You have to learn and recognize their abilities in order to figure them out on higher difficulties, and people with 100s of hours can be fooled by some of them. You also learn the equipment and the locations as well that are already well made, but there's an update on the horizon that will completely redo the equipment system to add even more tools for you to use on your ghost huntings.

[@Olkv3D]

I'm looking forward to the Ps5 and VR2 release.

[@protocolsavage8506]

the reason why people with 100s of hours can get fooled is cause the game spaghetti code is ass lmao

[@SylvesterLazarus]

@@protocolsavage8506 It definitely does strange things because of it, but there are so many elements that can legit fool you, like guessing about passive abilities.

[@nuckinfuts920]

My wife loves this game.

[@tombosley3048]

Great game, played so much of it that I no longer get scared. Which saddens me. Highly recommend this game to anyone

[@Thissitesucks]

Considering I spend Fallout 4 basically juggling settlements and freeroam, can't say I think it really changed. Building a basic settlement whenever you stumbled on one just to have a place to ditch items makes more sense to me and I did so from the beginning. Don't think most players that that ignored settlements at first had any incentive to go back to it after the story either, the ones that did were likely to only do so for the achievements. But considering I also spend way too much time building basically a self-sufficient stronghold at every settlements with specific outfit/loadouts for settler jobs, connected by supply lines with companions as "leaders" and a power armor museum. I might be biased.

[@slimebud]

Yeah, they stretched it to work with the title 😂

[@Crabomax]

Agreed.

[@mmcmullen8543]

This is how RuneScape used to be back in the day. Your first hundred hours is adventuring and doing quests and leveling up in combat and all that. The end game was the economy, running a business and playing the market and being a merchant. It was so deep too. Now you can just buy in game money and it sucks now but it used to be an amazingly deep experience

[@Gatorade69]

[@YaotzinMI]

The double jump + hover legs are the best but they're kind of tricky to understand at first. If you want to double jump you must tap your first jump. If you hold it any longer than a tap you'll go into Hover mode. It's possible to jump twice then hover to get even higher.

I might add Satisfactory to that list, as in the first part you just stay in the same place on the map and getting resources is easy. When the game requires you to look for resources that are far away on the map, then the difficulty increases and the game becomes addictive.

[@dranseer]

Absolutely a favourite of my childhood, and still is. I still haven't really found another game to scratch that itch though, with such a good story and the same kinda character freedom, combat, and visually showing your gear. Rather, haven't found a more modern game that I don't need to emulate since I'm PC based.

Hey so I came across that dungeon at like lvl 60. And just like all new comers to that dungeon I had no clue I just walked straight into the 7th circle of hell. I was thinking it was just another area, sort of like Yojimbos faith caverns. So I wandered around like an idiot instead of cautiously waiting close to the save sphere. First enemies I came across was one of those lizards and that elemental bastard from the Lightning Plains. I’m thinkin it’s nothing, just some usual canon fodder……. It took me 15 goddamn minutes just to beat THEM! I ran back to the sphere and right as I was getting ready to touch it the screen shatters. No biggie, I’ll just flee from this fight and come back to this dungeon after I hit maybe lvl 80 or something no big deal WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! Apparently the damn boss of that dungeon can just decide when he wants to fight. Dude finished my entire party in like 5 turns.

[@msp720]

V Rising is another game where you can pretty much just build your huge vampire castle for hundreds of hours instead of doing the main campaign. You don't really have to go out until you need to find the blueprint for a new crafting table or technology, and even then you often just get aesthetic upgrades like garden hedges and furniture. It's like they put The Sims house building mode into Diablo.

Snowrunner is another one the changes after 100 hours in. The first 100 hours you feel like you will get stuck everywhere you go. Then you start getting the better upgrades, and you start learning how to better use the tools you have so that you are not wasting time driving back and forth. Then you start seeing roads where there are none.

[@anggrimunki]

Then you get to the point where you see a "perfect shortcut", you laugh and drive past it, and complete the objective with minimal extra hassles. Thats when you know you're snowrunnin'. Also Azov 6 is the best!

Hades. The way that game's (immaculate) story works is insane to me and it's so criminally underrated in the mainstream but every person who's played it knows exactly what I mean. It goes from a basic yet good dungeon crawler roguelite and transforms into this almost visual novel-esque RPG, then you have the heat levels which also change up gameplay not to mention the fact that there's gods in the game that aren't even available to you till you beat the game at least 3 times. It's insane and easily one of my favourite games of all time Can't wait for Hades 2, it lowkey sucks that Zagreus isn't the main character again but eh I trust that team to make something equally good

To be honest, I agree but when you finish the game you haven’t really ‘finished’ the game. I think everything after you finish 10 runs is considered endgame. The first 10 finishes until your mother comes back is still part of the ‘main’ game.

I think days gone should be here aswell, for a big chunk of the game you're stealthing around, trying to fire as less firearms as possible due to low ammo availability and to not attract zombies especially at night Then halfway through you're taking out hordes of 100s

[@007ptb007]

Yea completely agree, loved the stealth and hunting, running and really feeling like an apocalypse and then as you progress being a killing machine who doesn't need stealth but can still go between.

[@VictoriaMan69]

I know a guy who spent hundreds of hours making bases in Fallout 4 that were absolutely spectacular. He would spend hours gathering rare materials and then meticulously arrange pieces into luxury townhouses, office buildings, you name it. He had one save dedicated to each base and his designs were exhaustive.

[@Thissitesucks]

I think I hit some kind of build limit across all settlements, by building something medium sized at all of them. Having dedicated saves is probably a good idea, saves having to collect the materials multiple time too.

[@dankforest]

So im super weird. I defo did settments quick in fallout. Try this though..... Build stairs up as high as you want then build a city.

[@lunarjellyfish5538]

Most roguelikes I would say. Binding of Isaac for instance. The first 100 hours are you testing the waters, building your skills and unlocking new areas, bosses, playable characters, items, mechanics etc. It takes a LONG time to unlock everything, even if you try to find the most efficient way to unlock everything. By the end, it's a massively different game with so many item/character permutations.

[@QPoily]

Woah what a blast from the past to see Dragon Quest IX be mentioned online. It absolutely blew my mind just how MASSIVE this game was when I first finished it.

[@Hueventure]

I think the Tales of Game franchise should be on this list as they are famously long for all of them having a part 2 or sometimes part 3 moment. As if it was a season 2 and/or 3 of an anime which changes the gameplay slightly by always introducing new characters, items, weaponry, and fighting mechanics that help you to defeat bigger things you couldn't in act 1. Not to mention all of them have some sort of skill tree that constantly expands and makes it feel as though the player's game style has altered quite a bit since they started. And i mean the games are very very long. they have cutscenes and optional game cutscenes and anime style optional special dialog prompts that you can view like cutscenes. This is 3 seasons of 25 episode per season anime show in a 3d anime game. Not to mention like 35 games in the francshise (10 of which you can play on pc)

Borderlands 3 was that way for me. By the time you get a complete optimized build, nothing in the game, even on mayhem 10 can even give you a challenge. After hours and hours of fighting bosses in mayhem levels above what you can handle for better gear, it's a big change

[@tonistank]

Definitely wasn't expecting to see FFXIV on this list, but it makes sense. I can't remember any of the earlier experiences pre heavensward and mainly followed the msq. I think what sets itself apart is having multiple avenues to play after msq wraps up. Raiding, extreme trials, blumage are definitely hooking people in, but the biggest endgame content are RP, ERP, and Glamours

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

Mods can totally change the settlement building experience in FO4. Immersive-Gameplay mod + survival/hardcore mode is a whole other beast. The only way you're surviving that shit is if you make intelligent use of the settlement mechanics to keep yourself supplied on food/water (which requires all the regular settler maintenance), keep plenty of storage space to have multiple backup loadouts and whatnot for when you almost inevitably run out of ammo for your mains, etc.

[@renamoda5450]

What about Dragon's Dogma?You spend 100 hours to farm,explore and do side quests before finally completing the main story.And then you realize that you actually didn't.The whole world changes,monsters start spawning in different areas than before,you unlock a new undergroung area,and you get to fight the real final boss.And then you move on to the Bitterblack Isle dlc...

And don't forget the sorta-multiplayer super dragon you can fight! I'm not so sure about the 100 hours part, though. I play slower than most folks, and I think I hit that point at more like 60 hours.

[@londoncalling_]

Another good one is Jet Set Radio Future, half of the characters aren’t unlockable only after you finish the main campaign, and after that it transforms into this kinda Tony Hawk PS game, there’s score attacks, races, graffiti timed challenges, a whole new game that sometimes takes more than the main story.

I wish you mentioned Foxhole. I've played over 450 hours now. And there is still so much I don't know. At first, I was like "What is this? This is a weird freaking game" I respect that everything worth having is made by players. That makes sense because I am a long time fan of EVE Online. And at first I was turned off by Foxhole's odd combat style. I was also blown away by all the different roles players could fill as of their own choosing. But once I had gotten my foot in the door, and passed the 100 hour mark, I was super addicted to the gameplay and complexity. I still play the game on a near daily basis. And I love that new content occasionally either brings in new players or brings back people that had played themselves out. In the end, it is easily one of my favorite games of all time, and that's because of how deep and enjoyable everything gets once you know what you are doing

[@NGMonocrom]

Fallout 3 should be on this list. The game straight-up messes with you if you put in a massive amount of hours into it. Including but not limited to, killing off all the caravan traders. And, sometimes you can encounter their corpses while playing.

Love the work from everyone from this channel ❤️ quality of the Videos is most of the time a 10! The reviews and everything, like „before you buy“ are great content after all 👏🏼 keep on going the great work from everyone

[@gameranxTV]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@jaimekloth]

Been awhile but fable 3 can be a different game on multiple play through since your first time you won't have enough money or you resorted to evil with your second time playing you'll be able to transfer the wealth from one character to another making it much easier from the beginning.

[@LunaliBrighteyes]

I feel like Fallout Shelter is the more in depth version of Fallout 4's base building rather than the other way around.

[@yugenheorte6828]

Oddworlds strangers wrath changes entire genre later on in the game so i hope its on this list!

[@jesusistheonlygodamen3406]

Im surprised the borderlands series wasn't mentioned. Those games dont start til your char is max level

[@Gonzalo-sl7uk]

The MMBN3 shout out was truly appreciated. I loved that game

[@coreyede1627]

Really thought odd world strangers wrath would be on this list. The way that game completely changes how you play for the last few levels blew my mind.

I would add Titan Quest. You play a character along the campaign that lasts 40-60 hours with all expansions, and after that, you can replay on epic. All the loot increases and you keep progressing. And after 40-60 more hours, you can replay on legendary. It's not just New Game +, there is a lot of new content, including random megabosses, legendary runes and equipment, etc

[@bordenrolf2971]

Dragon Quest IX is one of my top favorites wish more people would play it. Defiantly going to play it today now.

[@MetalHeadReacts]

I've played FFXIV since it first came out, and I STILL enjoy playing it. I have never encountered another game that i have enjoyed playing consistently for so long.... WoW didn't even keep me engaged or interested for even half as long

[@XENOpz]

Interesting. I did settlements in Fallout 4 as I was doing my playthrough. Eventually I 100%-ed the top half of the map. Got every settlement completely self-sufficient and protected. Got about 20 power armors. Then I got to the big city in the middle, saw how many NPCs I have to talk to (I wasn't going to stop 100%-ing the game) and lost interest.

[@mario64amazing]

One game that a lot of people don't talk about that deserves to be on this list more than anything is noita. The wand building in that game is so complex that you can spend hours trying different combinations of things, lets not forget all the secrets in the game once you branch off the main path. An experienced noita player would be experimenting a lot while hunting a bunch of different secrets littered through out the game. Things like orbs, hidden bosses, spells, endings, very hidden side quests, areas and the list goes on. Even if you don't care too much about that the wand building in the game changes the more you start to understand it.

[@jairudiusfyar4787]

Appreciate the Mega Man shoutout. I got that game when I was 8 and put in a good couple hundred hours before I figured out the post game stuff!

[@IDoubleJ]

Seeing Dragon Quest IX have a ton of post game makes me happy as a fan of DQ. Didn't play 9 but DQ tends to be more consistent as a franchise compared to Final Fantasy

[@franck3279]

Yes, but it also has its fair share of lame spinoffs

Yeah I love the settlement systems and to me it's a convenient thing to have extra places to drop off, mod or sell my stuff or buy more ammo and meds and am looking forward to base building in Starfield.

[@wolfwing1]

I remeember deathstranding :> to make beating the game easier, I specificly made sure to build the towers all along the way till the end and then just ziplined all the way back home :>

[@Sakura2596]

My little autistic heart can't help but jump straight into settlement building vs. the FPS/story of the game when starting a new game of FO4 . Settlement building has become one of my special interests, lol. Especially with all the amazing mods you can find on Nexus to elevate your settlement building experience. I have sunk thousands of hours building out full towns and lore friendly settlements. I should try to capture and upload a few tours of my builds. I never could pick an ending I liked for the story mode of the game, so I only completed the game fully only one time. I do enjoy playing the actual game. I just get a much more creative outlet and more satisfaction with settlement building.

[@stanettiels7367]

First time I’ve watched a Gameranx video and haven’t played any of the games on the list.

[@brobafett21]

THANK YOU for the honorable mention of MMBN3. It was the only MMBN game I played but there is FAR more to do in the post game than leading up to completing the story and it was difficult be great. Bass GS in MMBN 3 was prob one of the hardest bosses in the franchise. I also have no idea how many actual hours I put into the game since the in game clock stops counting at 99 hours & 59 mins. If I had to guess, I’d say I put about 200 into getting 100% completion.

[@TheSpacemanSal]

Also forgot one of the cousins of one of the games on the list, NieR: Automata. Finishing the main story the first time, only to play as a different character with totally different mechanics and personality makes the game very different. And it doesn't do that just once either 💜

[@gazwilliams-nc7jp]

I love settlement building, I spent hours once just to get the drive in theatre just right, build a small square floor at the top or the screen in a certain spot, and build small steps up so it is above the railings and build an epic floating base, took ages just to get it right though, but it looks so good

[@Thissitesucks]

Ugh, the amount of times I had to realign things because they were a couple degrees off. So they wouldn't fit in the cool spots by like an inch. Or stick out a bit.

Yess I was hoping for battle network 3 to be on the list but it got mentioned 🙏🏾🔥

[@baibhavbharadwajuzir9694]

There's also pokemon heartgold, soulsilver where, after completing the main game and becoming the champion of johto region, you get to explore another region, which is just as big as the original region, and then, after completing that region, you get to go to Mt.Silver, where you find exclusive pokemon like larvitar and misdreavus as well as to challenge red at the top of the mountain. Yeah, all of that may not take 100hrs for many but, it's still a lot when compared to other pokemon games

[@chappygamer42]

There was like a 3 week span that I played 100h of tarkov a week and I didn’t truly start to actually uncover the game until after that point

[@-claymore-.]

I loved the settlement building in Fallout 4, when combined with mods and DLC that add more items and structures you can make some awesome bases, I hope it returns in Fallout 5 and I can’t wait to get lost in the outpost building and ship customisation in Starfield.

[@scubasteve78]

Pilot wings on the SNES was crazy for the post game variations.

[@mt_baldwin]

Huh, I got into the settlement building in Fallout 4 right away. Mostly for growing the ingredients to get enough damn adhesive for gear modding but before I knew it I was king of the wasteland ruling over 20 something heavily fortified settlements connected via supply lines and trade routes and living in a castle.

[@dr.vburgh3264]

Glad falcon got his mic back lol

[@natea4828]

I haven't played escape from tarkov in about a year now but I got into it and played over 2000 hours and it was the only game I played for a long time and I still got my ass handed to me multiple times on a daily basis, although I did my fair share of killing other players as well. My average k/d per wipe being around 12-14 towards the mid point on, sometimes better, sometimes worse, but even after you spent a lot of time in that game, you still die a lot. I think that to this day, I haven't played a game that had a learning curve as complicated as this one

[@harleyrose666]

Had to turn the video volume down due to Mic peaking, might wanna take a look at that guys
