[@LeviathanTamer31]

It's an upgrade in terms of the Gameplay (Having more creative powers with your Plasmids as well as being able to use both Guns and Plasmids at the same time was awesome, albeit for some it took away from the suspense of fights when you were so powerful.) It's a downgrade in terms of the story. (No huge plot twist or shocking sights. There were more characters to listen to which took away from your only voice usually being 1 or 2 people in the level, and some people didn't like Eleanor who was a major part of it.) But holy fuck people shit on this game just because it's not as good as Bioshock 1. I mean it was expected for the game to meet or exceed Bioshock 1. But even when it didn't do that, it still did pretty damn good. I got emotionally invested in the characters and the gameplay was fun. That's like an Olympic athlete being sent death threats and hate mail because they didn't beat the world record that their predecessor set despite still doing pretty good in the scoring. Not the Best Game Ever™ or anything, but not the worst thing in the world. It's like in a weird space of Hype Limbo. People were hyped for a sequel to one of the best games ever made, but when it didn't meet up to the expectations it was... not a train wreck. It wasn't No Man's Sky where just about everything was a lie. It wasn't Call Of Duty where it was just more of the same. It wasn't Borderlands 2 where everything was made better in all directions. It was just kind of... there... It was a Good Game that wasn't the Excellent Game everyone wanted it to be.

[@EmeraldEyes1776]

Almost 3 years late, but Ookami is kind of like Kingdoms of Amalur. At the start of the game, you're treated to a lovely story based on real Japanese folklore in which the character you play as, the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu in wolf form, died while fighting the giant 8-headed serpent demon, Orochi. Then 100 years later the seal on Orochi is removed and he (they?) is revived and Sakuya, the spirit of the sacred sakura (cherry blossom tree), revives you as well from the statue your corpse apparently turned into after your death. So "technically" you die at the start of the game it's just that it's in the long opening cut scene.

[@slabofbeef7104]

The game Moonlighter. You start off in a dungeon, and go through a couple of rooms for the tutorial, then there's a room full of enemies that kill you, but because of game mechanics, you just get spat out of the dungeon and get better. I highly recommend playing Moonlighter.

Ellenor becomes a Big sister at the end of the game, whom you can summon to aid you for sohrt periods by the "Summon Elenor" Pladmid. The thing is that when little sisters grow up they stop being able to function as ADAM recyclers, and instead become very violent and gain a high affinity for pladmids. Elenor is kept by Sophia who tries to break the little sister programming, so Elenor doesn't display the same agression, but stil has the physical and genetic abilities

is talion (shadow of mordor) acually dead? or is he just on magical life support?

[@therouge_kitsune2124]

Idiocy Incorporated He is banished from death, basically, he can't die no matter how bad it is, and he has an ancient soul tethered to his, death basically won't except him so his soul and his body are taken back to a spectral tower to try not to die again. It's more like he's got super powers (from how high he can fall and all of the spectral moves and powers he can use) and can only be knocked out and taken back to the nearest tower.

[@idiocyincorporated7635]

The Rouge_Kitsune from what I remember he was being possessed by calebrimbor who wouldn't let him die as told by the tower. at the end of the game Cal offered to let him go. according to the wiki he was revived by Cal. so i guess it depends on if Cal possessed him before or after he started to slip away.

[@therouge_kitsune2124]

Idiocy Incorporated Idiocy Incorporated Ooohhhh, that's right, it's been a long time. Wasn't it said that Cal felt Talion dying and took that small opportunity to revive him as he was slipping away, so as he's slipping, after leaving his body. So really, he's dead.

[@idiocyincorporated7635]

The Rouge_Kitsune well that is why i said magical life support. Without it he truly is dead. Kind of like how a machine can keep you breathing but as soon as it is turned off you die. But ethier way ( whether he is dead or he was brought back from the dead) he still belongs on this list.

The map is huge, and apart from barring you from Klurikon for plot reasons there's really nothing to stop you from running wherever you want to go, since it's not that hard to sprint past over-levelled enemies...although it's not like you're lacking in stuff to do in the areas you DO have unlocked. I mean seriously, Amalur has quests fer daaaaayyys.

[@JayfeatherFan1000]

KoA:R is most similar, as far as I know, to Fable. So if you liked KoA:R, check out the first two Fable games (The third isn't a great Fable game, but still a good game anyway, I suppose.)

[@MoldycheeseJr]

What about fallout new vegas

[@thomashenry4588]

You don't die though, you survive.

[@PARAcain]

Thomas Henry you don't die in Black ops 3 on their list?

[@lalalabob1938]

@@thomashenry4588 You are put in a grave. You are pretty much dead. It's even said by the npc that brought you to the doctor that he pulled you out of a grave.

[@black_leg_sanji6496]

You dont die tho, the whole point is you lived

[@KitsuneYojimbo]

You didn't die. You were simply left for dead.

[@theldrakis]

that was only palpable the deaths for the atom puns. good show.

[@Shinigammi420666]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution... Adam Jenson is basically murdered in a way that would make Alex Murphy proud, then reborn as a Robocop-esque humanized cyborg.

[@joemama-pq6ig]

What about legend ov zelda BOTW master mode where there is a lynel on the tutorial lvl

[@RottenLegacy]

8:26 Time crawls on while you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart I had to make that reference

[@bishop6881]

You kind of die / travel to the future in FFX

[@salenstormwing]

I died a little listening to Tidus try to laugh. Does that count?

[@bishop6881]

Salen Stormwing Same, but not quite the beginning of the game

[@omegagilgamesh]

Bishop Gale No, you don't die in the beginning of that game. You're actually not even transported to the future. SPOILERS!!! The massive Fayth at the top of Gagazet is constantly dreaming/summoning the Zanarkand that Tidus and Jeckt are from, but far out at sea where no one will find them. Jeckt ran into Sin when ye olde big whale came semi close to the city, Jeckt came and picked up Tidus to break the cycle. No time travel. This particular clarification came from the FFX Ultimania, BTW.

[@rinraiden]

To be fair, it's hard to really know just how "real" Tidus even is. He's just part of a dream the Fayth are having, likely inspired by Shuyin.

[@thaddeusgenhelm8979]

To die one must first live. And Tidus has no life. We can tell by his soulless laugh and his sports star career being the only thing he has to talk about.

[@prejudicedpizza2764]

Not surprised in the least Ellen managed to include Kingdoms of Amalur in this list. In fact, I would have been shocked if it hadn't been.

[@demonprincess9680]

Doesn't Little Misfortune count? I know it's not revealed until the end, but in the end it shows your character was ran over by her own father in the beginning (I assumed looking at the tire marks)

[@sweatilaa5325]

you can get past the wolf in bloodborn without getting killed!!! only scrubs die to it!

[@nathanielnogales7337]

SweAtilaa exactly what I was thinking

[@Preeve]

SweAtilaa Was watching the video for an extra minute before gloating difficult for you?

[@sweatilaa5325]

Reeve Isaacs i did watch the whole video, i still had to tell the world that "only scrubs die to it". and it does not really belong in this video since you dont have to die there.

[@Fanimati0n]

SweAtilaa yet most people who play it probably do die. I'm with Luke on the whole "waiting it out until he turns back into a regular man" thing. besides, It's easier to just let him kill you to advance the plot more quickly

[@D0GG0YT]

you can just straight kill the werewolf at the beginning without your weapons and just go to the dream using the lamp thats right outside. its not hard at all even for new players as long as you pay attention

[@Sephvf]

(5:00) so this one counts even though your dead before the game started? WHAT ABOUT DESTINY!!!

[@ShadowL0R]

Haha I think the main difference is that Destiny starts with you being gloriously reanimated and you spend a total of like thirty seconds actually dead, as opposed to watching your dead body be carted off to a garbage shoot and waking up in a pile of corpses 😝

[@Sephvf]

Shadow Lor and the difference is?

[@JayfeatherFan1000]

Well having TWO dead-before-it-begins games would be irritating. So it's a matter of which looks and sounds better, in terms of the overall scene (Glorious reanimation with 30 seconds of being dead, versus you being dumped into a pile of corpses, freaking out, and carefully climbing down and trying not to vomit.) One's much better for comedic value.

[@Sephvf]

***** thx. That answers my question.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

I mean, for all we know, they're just making shit up in Destiny because they don't give any context as to why you being dead mattered to anything. You could just have amnesia and it'd be the same plot.

[@garyt.953]

So like, any Dark Souls game (including Bloodborne and Demon Souls) if it's the first time for the player?

[@Tywilly99]

Gary T. Demon's Souls is really the only one you HAVE to die in. My first play through of Bloodborne I ran past the werewolf.

[@walterkrueger5947]

gravity is dangerous

[@timothymclean]

+THELORDDEATH99 Ah, just like the original Dark Souls. Only with more werewolves and less armor.

[@southparkkenny2]

+THELORDDEATH99 Don't forget the Duke's Archives in Dark Souls 1, in the first Seath fight you have to die. (unless you use the Duke's Skip but glitches don't count)

[@ThomasFarquhar2]

When you forget you don’t have a stealth boy and instinctively hit your favourite buttons and go to sneak attack a vault 111 radroach but it kills you

[@kynewidget9549]

Northampton reference, a like is deserved xD
