Volo’s eye replacement is actually one of the best buffs in the game, so I wouldn’t say it’s a bad choice. It’s far better than trusting Ethel, who doesn’t really help at all.

Gaming is a way to do things that we would never get to do in real life, so in a way, stupidity is a core part of gaming.

[@Gamify-jlk85]

We escape reality into vanity 😂

[@-vart-]

Not all game devs are smart, especially the D4 devs

[@MikadoYuma]

I'm so cautious that at times I have to humor the game to get it to progress in times when you have to make an obviously dumb mistake to continue. There was this game I played a while ago, I forget what it was, but to even begin the games events you have to use some obviously dangerous item and after trying to figure out what to do for a while, I found out that you *had* to use it.

[@DragonSin69]

Also in Far Cry 4 if you actually wait for the Antagonist Pagan Min for irl 15min, you unlock alt ending where he allows you to place your mother's ashes and the whole game ends. Very neat.

[@OhCorny]

Also Rockstar NOT patching the swing glitch is a good example

[@thetrueriley232]

I don’t think they knew we would drive up to a swingset with a car and get thrown into oblivion. 😂

[@gooma7942]

God bless the swingset glitch

[@Spr0ket]

@@thetrueriley232 His point is about never patching it, Rockstar knew that this one swing was better fun for us than half of the game itself xD so it stayed through whole life of the game, and it was known fairly fast after the release so they had time to patch it

​@bryanhicks3407 being a gamer since space invaders and a former professional game tester, I have to explore everywhere and test every game mechanic to the point that I spend a lot of time dead. If there is a way to break a game I will find it so I also spend a lot of time falling through the ground.

[@cskiller86]

As I was reading your comment, I thought you were gonna say "I have killed myself more times in games trying things out, than I have died _in real life_ ".

Repeatedly whacking a defenseless chicken with my sword in A Link to the Past is the first time I experienced this.

I know Skyrim does something similar..damn cultist using a chicken as a shield just as I take a swing at them

[@Demanicon]

While Volo is annoying, he actually knows what he's talking about, mostly. During my Dark Urge play thru I finally listened to him instead of skipping and ignoring, and found his words, while annoyingly delivered, were truthful and accurate. The trade of losing an eye for the see invisible trait was totally worth it.

Falcon, the Riddle of Futility in Dragon’s Dogma II may be a hard riddle, but the Riddle of Rumination is both hard AND cruel.

[@itsmjeezy2596]

I love how you just jump into the hay bale and die immediately. They gave a cool Assassin's Creed reference but also roasted the game at the same time 😂😂😂

[@strife_ow]

Every time I watch a gameranx videos, I come to the sad realization that there's never gonna be a sequel to Prey 2017.

[@Grigeral]

Gotta love the Volo one... "Careful... The needle needs to go BEHIND the eye, not THROUGH it!" - Proceeds to literally stab you right in the middle of your eye.

[@crimsonraen]

LMAO This makes me appreciate developers so much.

[@lesterbronson2385]

Wow, Gameranx mentioned Strong Bad! Hell yeah.

[@ezrafaulk3076]

There's also Amid Evil; if you try to go outside the gateway building to try to explore the outside, you'll die & get the "Abysmal" achievement. I know because I did it; I also tried doing it again in the VR version of the game to see if I'd get it again, but I didn't; meaning that apparently, the VR version *doesn't* have achievements, or at least not *that* one.

[@tibedog5629]

Number 5: First time I played this game was a few years it came out. I was like "Wonder if I will die?" Jumped up, got hit and died I laughed when it popped up and was like "00.008% of players have done this" after all those years not many had done that. Also : Mercenary Zoophobia ... okay lol.

[@jiggilymiggily4430]

I think the spittoons from West of Loathing are an honorable mention. The narrator, as well as the devs know exactly what is about to go down.

FarCry 4, sitting down at the table at the beginning of the game, finsihes it before starting

[@therunawaykid6523]

Yeah so funny the game lets you finish the game by just waiting for pagin min - I think the fifth game has that as well if you arrest the guy at the beginning of the game

[@whocares9033]

The fifth game let's you refuse to arrest him twice, once at the beginning and once before the final fight Too bad that antagonist was the lamest out of all the Far Cry games

[@Mtrix3345]

How do you come up with ideas for this series is beoynd me, keep it coming tho!

[@erichhesse6853]

SWTOR has an achievement called "Worm Food" you get for taking a flying leap in the Sarlaac pit on Tattooine.

[@Shonisto343]

That first one reminds me of Toxic Bunny, just that nothing bad happened in it, if you deplete all 5k of your first weapon's ammo, you get a complete refill, and also get ammo for all the in-game weapons that have an ammo counter, so doing so in the beginning means you have some of the best weapons from the start😅

[@chappingcleeks76]

[@daedaluscreation4869]

Try being a teenager when Resident Evil first came out… The shotgun trap was NOT expected the first time 😆😆😆

[@terlondre]

5:57 this is actually based on a real life story from 12th century. When Henry II, Count of Champagne threatened grand master of Hashashin Rashid ad-Din Sinan, that his army was stronger and he could destroy them at any time, Rashid smiled and ordered two of his subordinates to jump off of a tower and they did so without hesitation. Count was shocked, acknowledged that he may have the numbers but these were some unhinged zealots and let the Nizaris be. The main difference between this story and the game is that IRL everyone involved (including those jumpers) knew they were going to die and they did die indeed...

[@user-yd2uv3xi2g]

I had no idea about the homestar runner game! Thats dope as hell!

[@BostonJon420]

My favorite was the hole on the wall with ooze coming out of it that you can't see the back of. You're supposed to put your arm in it to get a key. I think it was the first silent hill.

[@fandrawerNgundam]

the number 8 in dragon's dogma 2, i was quite dumb dumb, the vase got stuck at the wooden lift station and becomes indestructible and can't pick up. i don't want to repeat it so i read the riddle again, it says something along the "his gaze" so it got me the idea to bring that guy to the lift station and it worked....whew

[@dan9806]

I remember playing the first Dragon's Dogma and hating the first escort mission I ever did so before accepting the next one, I would go to the destination and set up the stone for teleportation and then accept the mission then teleport instantly to the destination.

[@maxlc3]

Number 8, Dragon's Dogma 2, I failed the Riddle of Rumination (finding the first Seeker Token) and she did not leave. I was unable to get that particular chest and did not get the achievement, but I was able to complete the other riddles without issue.

One of those conceits that video games tricks players into believing, that things like bails of hay or bags of garbage will comfortably break your fall from several stories up. A bail of hay might as well be a stack of cinderblocks if you fall more than about 6 feet onto it. As for garbage bags, there could be almost anything inside; like razors, needles, broken glass, all kinds of bent jagged metal, or just slimy, smelly nastiness.
