8 Embarrassing Ways You Insta-Failed That You’ll Never Live Down

[@outsidextra]

There are ways to fail a game with dignity... and then there are these. Here are the lamest ways games choose to insta-fail you, come on games give us a break, yeah? Enjoy!

[@Cheetahgirl_Studios]

“Quick! Follow that-“ “...” “Flying... train...?”

[@epicwinnoobtheoveranalyst3028]

The worst one definitely had to be GTA: SA's train mission. "you lost the train" .... It's a fucking train, It's on rails, it can only go in 2 directions, forwards and backwards. Literally just catch back up to it.

[@elii3016]

EpicWinNoob The Overanalyst or tell big smoke "all you had to was shoot the dame people big smoke"

[@_Tomon]

Mortos DerSoulStealer I did not cheat myself but Big Smoke aim was so bad that you could fail even if you managed to stay right next to them pretty much the whole way. Honestly you needed to actually give him some distance so he could shoot them with at least some degree of success. But I was so annoyed with him, that what I learned to do for that mission, was to use the stairs and jump ON THE TRAIN with the bike so I could shoot them myself :-D

[@glasstuna]

All you had to do was follow the damn train

[@yourex-wife4259]

other way for me. The train mission took me maybe 3 tries. The RC mission took, maybe 20? and a whole lot of misery. That whole campaign was horrible, Im not sure why I played it, I could have done something productive with that time, instead of hating myself for playing haha

[@JackKnifeJedi3419]

One time in AC2, I was chasing a story target on foot, and I saw the assassinate prompt pop up. But instead of plunging a blade into my target, Ezio thought it would be best to pull off a leaping double assassination on 2 civilians over to my right, instead of my target directly in front of me. This gave me an insta-fail, and restarted the mission for a very salty me.

[@joenesvick7043]

I hate it when that happens

[@lefthandrule638]

"Ezio, assassinate him." "But these two civilians look suspicious." "Just kill hi-" *stabs*

[@redgeoblaze3752]

JackKnifeJedi3419 was it chasing the two targets? Because that happens to be all the time.

[@smiegto]

or you do notice that its aiming wrong and you are like no not them. then it constantly switches back and forth between your target and some unlucky civilian till your target leaves. desynchronyzed.... might as well jump those civies then.

[@frodobaggins7710]

You may not be able to kill the minstrels, but you can definitely punch the shit out of them.

[@falensaranogaming9601]

Building on the 'following someone too closely' fail, what really grinds my gears is games like GTA. When you have to follow someone in a car, you have to keep distance but this makes no sense when your target stops at a red light or in traffic. You have to drive erratically by not staying in traffic or driving up to the light and stop 5 car lengths away from them leaving masses of room for no reason. Surely that's more suspicious?!

[@principsagustus2318]

Falensarano's Channel mafia is really bad at this with how narrow the streets are

[@justarandomalt255]

Gta4's three leaf clover has to be the worst first you have to follow the crew or they will leave you to deal with that 5 star wanted level and if you manage to follow you have to deal with escaping 3 stars but with wonky driving controls

[@HOUSEofROLLS]

ok, looking for that too!

[@HOUSEofROLLS]

oh, I just realized there are compilations and lists and top 10 videos of QTE fails, that's gonna keep me busy.

[@Inhaledcorn]

I have a few: 1) Failed mini games/missions/objectives during a fight (DANCE WATER DANCE) 2) not having the one item you need for that particular moment (worse if you need to go out of your way to get it) 3) enrage timers (not clearing a fight fast enough causing an auto fail [heavily used in FFXIV])

[@SirRoderickThunderbottom]

how about the arbitrary timers that run out even when you are seconds away from reaching the next checkpoint or final goal for the game to blow you a giant raspberry and boot you all the way back to the start to do it all again. there's also the ever dreaded 'Network connection failure' that always appears when your about to win...

Let's see Luke say that name.....

[@TheKueiJin]

or let's say the times when you are fighting a timed boss then the timer runs out and you instafail... because the boss decided to skip the scene right in the middle of shooting a bullet.

[@fridarendert4152]

The "accidentally killing civilians" made me think of my first playthrough of Oblivion. I went full story-mode, only did things in line with my super-optimistic wood elf archer characters' moral standing. So one day I have to save this farm from.. I think is was goblins? The place was being overrun by goblins. Now I'm a pretty decent archer, so I took position while the goblins were busy fighting the farmers' two sons. One, two, three, four goblins down.. And as I let go of the fifth, perfectly aligned arrow - one of the brothers JUMPS INTO THE WAY, takes an arrow through the head and is flung across half the field. His brother was so caught up in the fighting he didn't notice I just shot his brother. I'm really good at stealth, so yeah.. No bounty or anything. My character kills the rest of the goblins, offers her condolences for the loss of a son and brother, and is on her way. In time, I forget completely about this having happened. My character is of good moral standing, doing swell stuff all across Cyrodiil. One night, I decide to let her sleep at an inn. I got SO SCARED when my character wakes up in the middle of the night by that guy from the Dark Brotherhood.Figuring it's play along or get assassinated, my character joins the Dark Brotherhood and one thing led to another and whoops she now runs it. I imagine she still just sort of hates that she's in it.

[@greenliongirl07]

Frida Rendert what about Shayogorath (yes I know I can't spell)? Attack him and he sends you thousands of feet in the air to fall to your death?

[@fridarendert4152]

Not to mention the Skyrim giants..

[@christopherrahoche1759]

Frida Rendert I did something somewhat similar. My character was a tad less noble because he was a theif. Not a murderer but a theif. So i finished the theves guild ang got the Grey Fox mask. So i was using it for something... (i think it was an investigation mission) and when i took it off my noteriaty glitched never reset so everyone hated me and I had a bounty. So, I didnt have enough money to pay the fine (it was INSAIN) and I didn't feel like loosing my skill points. So i broke out of jail. Jail breaks are violent but i managed to get my mask back without being noticed so i kiiled guards with the mask on took it off when i got outside and surendered so evry one forgot. Ofcorse i was like "now hes a murderer... what should i do." Wake up and theres Freaky McWeirdo waiting for me. So that was my charcters descent into debauchery

[@Marc-lf4du]

i remember that mission it seems impossible to get both brothers out alive at lower levels your iron longsword won't cut it at later levels the goblins are all shamans and skirmishers or other high end types

[@fridarendert4152]

On my next playthrough I DID manage to save both brothers. I took extra care not to shoot anywhere near those suicidal men >_>

Honestly, the most confusing thing about Ellen's OXBOX fanfic is that she had Jane take Mike along for the stealthy bank heist mission. And what, Andy just stayed at the studio? Seems preeetty OOC to me...

[@lorenzoabrick5188]

Well, it _was_ chapter 5... maybe something happened to Andy earlier in the story, maybe incapacitating him? Or maybe he was _in charge_ of that bank, and Mike had been secretly trying to learn stealth from him for years, figuring out how he and Jane could infiltrate it?

[@daughterofluthien]

Homestuck Obsessor ooh, maybe Mike was actually a stealth master the entire time, and only pretending to be bad at it so that Andy would keep his guard down. Now there's a plot twist

[@lorenzoabrick5188]

It just occurred to me that this is a fan theory... about a fanfiction ._. fanception? Now I just _really_ want Ellen to present her fanfiction somewhere, that would make my day.

[@daughterofluthien]

Homestuck Obsessor it's a fan theory about in universe rpf fanfic, so yeah I'd say this is just about as meta as it gets XD Also remember that this is a universe where Jane has a giant orbiting death (and/or Pokémon gym, I think) and there have been multiple clones and robots of Mike. Discounting the whole Gringotts thing (unless Harry Potter exists in this universe too??) Ellen's "fanfics" sound like they could be more like journals. WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO SILENCE HER??

At least it made some sense though. The equivalent of being sent flying into and through a mountain.

[@Tsutsu-moon]

[@oscarn-]

This was the first reason why cordless controllers were invented.

[@oscarn-]

Evangelos Killer mike You are definitely right! That was actually the second reason, the REAL first reason was because there is a global copper conspiracy, which is run by shady Vatican organization called Cuprum Maleficium Dei, and it controls ALL use of copper worldwide. The problem with controllers is that the cords contain a lot of copper, in order to transmit the commands to the console very fast and that the CMD order sees gaming as a cardinal sin and consoles as gateway to Hell, so they decided to ban all copper from console manufacturers. To overcome this problem, the console manufacturers quickly developed the cordless controllers, using the technology they use in the Pioneer deep space probe program, by the way.

Especially since it usually only applies when playing on the World Tournament stage in most of them. Just a neat little nod.

[@dominateeye]

That moment when you realize that the player killing civilians in a video game leads to more severe consequences than a police officer killing civilians in real life.

[@marhawkman303]

To be fail, games don't have the same reasoning. With games it's "this is your mission, succeed or fail". And as noted in the video the failure conditions might be very arbitrary. the Rainbow Six games had hostage rescue scenarios where it was possible to fail because an ENEMY accidentally shot a hostage.

[@cloeshmoroz4512]

Was waiting for it. Saw it. Bought it.

[@guidoguido2245]

Curse did Ellen pay you well?

[@jake_leg]

Curse Thanks for the heads up. I was waiting for this to go on sale

[@thesilentexo7539]

If Luke was surprised by what was in a secret book of fan fiction, clearly he doesn't understand how fan fiction works.

[@lorenzoabrick5188]

Especially _secret_ fanfiction, which almost always involves romance in some form... although it would be a little strange to learn that Ellen ships her co-workers / bosses ._.

[@thesilentexo7539]

Homestuck Obsessor well she wasn't always working with Outside Xbox, and we don't know how old that journal is, so…

[@lorenzoabrick5188]

this is true

[@spooktouqe3260]

your channel feels so down to earth with the jokes and how chill everyone is

[@Shadohime]

I remember there being a specific part of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years where, if you didn't have the right party for a fight, you'd lose automatically.

[@electroworm2488]

all we had to do is follow the damn train CJ! AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[@StirrCrazy90]

I've never played San Andreas, but after having watched this video all I can say is "jddjebfhgkdjahrhfjc." And you can quote me.

[@qazxsw21000]

“And all you had to do was shoot the people on top of it, but NnNoOoO.”

[@thunderstudent]

I swear to god that line is an anthem for a generation! I could not get past that mission to save my life!

[@caelephaisking3842]

New game: "Oh, a drop! I wonder if there are invisible walls to prevent falling..." You know what happens next, don't you?

[@HootingLance]

First time I played breath of the wild (aka 'go anywhere: the video game) I walked to the edge of a cliff, climbed down until I could see the bottom was maybe 2 metres away, and then jumped off. Link insta-died and I was instantly discouraged.

[@filmandfirearms]

What I find to be an annoying insta fail in some games is when someone you need alive comes around a corner unexpectedly, and always in the middle of a firefight, and I shoot them in an instant, thinking they're and enemy

[@reinforcedthr3ads602]

id take ellen on an adventure if she was given to me by a wise man😂

[@Legendary_Detective-Wobbuffet]

The thing that always bugged me was time limits in boss fights.

[@tommyawsm7132]

Another episode that emphasizes Ellen's cuteness.

[@burnininhell]

9:20 I'd be happy to take Ellen with me. C'mon lil' buddy, we're going on an adventure!

[@hollyhartwick3832]

The "Ring Out" has a plus side too. In some particularly tough fights in Weapon Master mode in SoulCalibur II, you can use a Ring Out to get an easy win. The ferryman mission is a good example. You have to hit them 20x before they kill you, but a Ring Out, oddly, counts too. It's also a good method for surviving missions where you're outnumbered.

[@lissas4152]

Ring Outs are also good in games like YYH's Dark Tournament where the AI cheats

[@hollyhartwick3832]

@@lissas4152 - Good point. Nice way to take out a dirty fighter. 👍

[@samuelc6246]

Link was actually incredibly good at "ring out"-ing opponents in Soul Calibur 2. I thought you were about to show that, when Link himself was thrown out...

[@LadyOnikara]

I had so much fun knocking fools out of the ring with Link.

[@ironicdutchmoonshade]

When you're diving and you don't have any air left and your extremely long health bar empties faster than Ellen empties a cup of tea...

[@tolboi9343]

Where did Luke get the life is strange t-shirt??? I WANT ONE

[@chloeb30]

TolBoi You might've found out by now, but it's from insert coin clothing

[@Sarriuz]

9:20 I’ll take the legendary weapon that is known as a woman. Lmao

[@thewerewolfofwaggawagga8818]

You know what's worse than a game-over from a failed QTE? The look on Leonardo's face when you fail to hug him in ACII.

[@apassionatepotato]

"Franklin my dear, I don't give a damn" I see what you did there

[@miteshkumaresan3475]

No one recognized that line, it has just Gone with the Wind.

[@hope5155]

Leak Ellen's fanfiction

[@juliusreids2653]

So when do we get to read Ellen's outsidexbox/xtra fan fiction?

[@PrinceSilvermane]

Extra points if a game puts one of these in once, and it brings the rest of the game down. Case in point Metro 2033. You've had allies before but they could generally take care of themselves. Then comes a section near the end of the game where you have to travel through an area with infinitely spawning self destructing creatures. And your ally dies far too quick. Even more bonus points if an ally that's supposed to be helpful would be easier if you didn't have him along.

[@memorandom7484]

Yeah, gotta love games that ask you to protect NPCs with no sense of self-preservation who will run at enemies or into oncoming bullets.

[@undyingUmbrage]

You entered the wrong house, fool! O O O O O H H H H H H H H ! ! !

[@explosiveexcitement5]

I wouldn't mind going on an adventure with Ellen. Sounds like fun

[@sirius7070]

She can record all your stories with her amazing writing skills

[@tomgeytenbeek2207]

"Argh, an enemy! Protect me, human shield, your sacrifice will be remembered!" *throws Ellen at monster with considerable force and intent to kill*

[@dringvir8683]

Ha I never fail at quick time events, thats because I have all my friends at school throw rocks at me... Oh wait never mind. :(

[@pinocchio5887]

They aren't really good friends then. If I was you, I would bust their asses.

[@CooperAATE]

As hot as she is, I don't think Ellen has ever made a cuter face than at 9:22

[@CooperAATE]

... and then 10:44 happened. Lol

[@chrissuhoza155]

Ryoku1989 shut the fuck up she is so ugly

[@Black_Hound_]

Chris Suhoza I bet you were a failed abortion

[@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1024]

Ryoku1989 Agreed.

[@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1024]

Black_Hound_ 1941 Nah they just aborted the logic and sight.

[@walkingonsunshine9542]

I just love the insecere ways NPC's respond to Nate dying, that would be a good idea for a video. Worst NPC responces to death, nudge nudge, wink wink

[@bradleyruby1503]

That Big Smoke part was exactly how I felt, this has to be one of the most annoying missions ever

[@DiebeNacht]

I actually don't mind the losing from leaving the mission area. Games generally make the area big enough that you can move around as much as you need to and it's an easy way to forfeit a mission

[@cianfarrell9992]

idea for Ellen's fan fiction : outside Xbox/xtra meet the power rangers

[@jkerman5113]

All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!

[@barrackobama9807]

No mention of fusing hostage for the motherland? For shame

[@charliethekobold516]

Seeing a time limit and panicking. I remember a puzzle game I never beat because at the end you have to defuse a bomb and I just panicked and die...

[@LeeGinSing]

"All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!" was the reason I quit that game. :( Respawning 5 minutes away to just start that frustrating mission again over and over was just too much.

[@mariafountain7640]

There should be an entire episode dedicated to Ellen's Secret Book of Outside Xtra Fan Fiction. (Come on, guys!) :D

[@masonbe10]

9:20 "take this" 😂

[@scottrauch1261]

I'll protect the Ellen.

[@skabor1]

can i have jane instead?

[@pablojaramillo2416]

I thought it was, "a sucky joke"

[@bartlebyscriviner6456]

9:20 Greatest moment in this channel's history. Disagree? Fight me!

[@bevvox]

Ellen catching that pikachu that first time(and it didn't even look like it was edited:) was pretty great too; call it a close tie?

[@sirius7070]

Yes yes, very good

[@jad43701]

How about the "Keep Vinnie alive" mission in Max Payne ? That was both a pain in the ass and hilarious at the same time. I spent more time working that mess out than I did playing the whole game !

[@comettamer]

Picking the wrong ledge/falls one SHOULD survive. Ive done this WAY too often...in fact, ive done many of these too often, including the killing of hostages in Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. Also, Ellen too cute.

[@keithharrows683]

"Take one of these" I will gladly take one. Free small cute thing, why not? lol

[@gamecrusader6768]

Yes me too

[@ethanworner864]

Play more Kingdom of Amalur!!

[@horrorkesh]

I miss the days when we could actually kick back and watch cutscenes

[@FoggyBadger]

OMG I LOVE ELLEN SO MUCH!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 That train mission in San Andreas gave me rage nightmares. When I finally beat that part (found a way to ramp the bike onto the train), and literally jumped up, threw the controller down, and started screaming at the TV in excitement.

[@SWProductions100]

Fun topic, cool way to get people to tell personal stories of finding these irritating insta-fails. Keep it up, wishing you guys the best in your videomaking (also, maybe just...ignore some of the comments about Ellen in this video...yeah...) On a personal note, I've fallen victim to that 'chasing/following targets' insta-fail in Assassins Creed 4; one moment that sticks in my head was watching supposedly normal soldiers/civies (the mission target in this case) just suddenly jump in a surprisingly limber way. It was...unexpected.
