[@StellarCosmic1]

When does it start getting "terrifying" lol cuz so far it's pretty boring... I've wrote a poem so far.

[@johnnguyen9136]

@@StellarCosmic1 You may or may not need to keep writing a few more poems and interacting with the girls. But to be completely honest, the first act is literally just getting to know the characters so of course it's going to take time to open up, I'm not quite sure how you can play this game and now at least get interested in the characters at the moment

[@eldibs]

Supraland. Every time you think you've escaped the boundaries of the game world, you look around, and boom, there's a treasure chest waiting for you. They knew you would try to break it, and rewarded you for doing so.

[@midwestyle]

Kingdoms of Amaleur. If you invest into your blacksmithing and sagecrafting skills, you can turn your character into an elemental, self healing power tank capable of everything in that world before even halfway thru the game.

Hey Falcon, you missed „Hitman: World of Assassination“. The world is litterally your weapon there: The amount of freedom that comes with breaking the game is enormous. From launching objects with explosions into restricted areas to abusing npc routines and do unintended lures; it‘s all in there. Maybe for a Part 2? Agree on „Talos Principle“: Found myself solving some puzzles by breaking them and sneaking extra tools from other rooms in more than once.

[@mcivannamboya1430]

The physics mechanics in Just Cause 5 are so over the top , so much chaos & game breaking potential - I love it

Tears of the Kingdom is honestly the weirdest zelda game aside from Link's Awakening where it's a Mario crossover, but this is essentially a Kerbal Space Program crossover to a dungeon crawl exploration game lol

My favourite Skyrim exploit is the Aetherial Crown/Ritual Stone trick. Controlling an army of zombie giants never gets old.

[@gameranxTV]

[@carlgibson285]

@gameranxTV probably the escaping from jail exploit that allows you to equip every item of armour and jewellery at the same time, although you can't go wrong with the /restoration potion/alchemy/enchanting exploit either.

[@XxTheCrimsonRoguexX]

The big pharma trick in bravely default is a really fun early game infinite money maker. Paired with auto attack, you can come back later to more gold than you’ll know what to do with.

This has nothing to do with the title. Seeing Metroid made me think of it. Have you ever covered Boogerman on the Sega Genesis? One of the funniest games I’ve ever played! Maybe do a video of obscure/odd games and highlight Boogerman. 🤔

[@likenem]

I think the lucha libre outfit in tears of the Kingdom is more game-breaking than the zonai devices. When upgraded you get a 1.5 attack bonus for using bone weapons. This stacks with the 1.5 attack bonus from food. This is really good for the gibdo fuse item hen you use a bow That shoots multiple arrows. It's even better with the giant boomerang which Not only hits an enemy twice, thrown items do 1.5 * damage. The once you attach moldugas jaw. You have an extremely good early weapon, that's pretty easy to get.

SOTN was one of the few games that I discovered a lot of the secrets myself because I would spend hours checking every pixel and experimenting with stuff because I realized early on how much hidden stuff there was. The hidden meat at the very beginning was a nice homage to games past. But that was the tip of the iceberg of secrets in that game. There was just something about that game that made me want to find all the secrets. Most games can’t hold me captive beyond 40-60 or so hours to complete it and find some hidden stuff. SOTN secrets were like crack for me😂.

A lot of great JRPGs let you power level your party into near godhood and Star Ocean 2 (second story R re release especially) is a fantastic example because of how the abilities in that game work. Feels amazing to basically take the game logic and snap it over your knee like a feeble twig even though obviously, the devs put all those busted abilities in there to begin with. Just a fun and satisfying reward for players who know how to capitalize on the systems!

[@damianrieck4832]

Wish I still had my old 360. I had an iron sword that was one shotting legendary dragons. I'm one of those who has always had skyrim. Played it since day one. Easily 3000 plus hours into it. Not abusing Skyrims mechanics should be a sin you have to repent for until you meet your maker.

[@TheZoenGaming]

You're forgetting the "sneak, quaff invisibility potion, pickpocket to put a paralyzing and poisonous health potion into someone's inventory, then quaff an invisibility potion" hack: You need to have the Poisoned perk. Next, create a Fortify Sneak potion/enchanted item with a ridiculously high sneak buff using the alchemy hack, a bunch of invisibility potions, then create potions with a small healing value, a high paralysis and a high poison value, then put it in a victem's pockets while sneaking. They will immediately drink the potion and be poisoned and paralyzed, meaning they can't detect you and are losing health rapidly, immediately drink another invisibility potion and repeat with the -victim- enemy. The Muffle spell, Muffled Movement and Silence perks, and light armor will make you even more undetectable.

[@Gemmasis]

In Dragon Age: Inquisition there was much hype about how OP you could make the Rogue’s in that game, but actually you could make a 2h warrior so OP it could rival any Rogue in damage output! With the right skills, weapon, armour, max strength, accessories, masterworks and of course choosing the Champion specialisation, you can create an unkillable Inquisitor. Even on Nightmare + Trials, you can break the game easily and become untouchable at level seven. With my build, the last time I took any damage was at level 1 on Nightmare + Trials and I’m now at level 23 and he still hasn’t taken any damage whatsoever. Wether BioWare intended it to be that way or not, it’s still pretty awesome to slay a high dragon in seconds!

[@imillnotsick420]

I’ve seen a bunch of clips of pirate software or Thor playing a game that looked cool/fun and thought it was like a terraria mod or something but now I know it was Noita. Definitely gonna have to try it one day.

[@C-M-E]

Tears is not only the best game on this list to break, but feels like it was tailor made to be broken in the best way possible. The only limiting factor is your creativity. Even puzzles can be broken, like the teetering ball ones. Rather than follow the path by wiggling the platform to follow the path, I turned the wife's controller upside down and turned the platform over, then rolled a ball over the back and flipped it into a target like pinball. Turned the infamous 20 minute puzzle into a 30 second solve.

[@Pyrosage2009]

You don't even have to go that far in skyrim, turns out that fortify potions go exponential on their own; all you need to do is craft a few fortify alchemy potions, chug them back to back, and each new fortify potion is multiplied by the previous ones; so once you chug 10-20 fortify alchemy potions then you make the fortify enchantment and fortify blacksmithing potions and the go craft all your combat gear,

[@jasandipsingh235]

Nice

[@gameranxTV]

[@Chorongy-]

Sonic Frontiers isn't on this list because it was broken to begin with? You have these sections that lock you into 2d sonic. If you can get past the rail,spring or boost circle that change your camera it makes those sections ridiculously ez. You can even get to the ends of those sections by launching sonic off a steep rock. You can basically fly.

[@NervousOne466]

Bethesda wanted Skyrim to be a serious game. The fact that you can break it so easly is due to their incopetence not purpose design.

[@stuartmorley6894]

That's just not true. Every Bethesda game up to that point could be broken pretty obviously and they've rarely patched any of it out. The fact that they encourage modding which can break them even more kind of shows they weren't precious about this stuff.

[@tanzolo4487]

You must be very young. When Skyrim came out. It was the one of the most amazing things gaming had ever seen. Back then we weren’t making fun of Bethesda the way you are right now. This was before they released stinkers

[@PaleGhost69]

Morrowind is designed to be broken. Skyrim is designed to be a simulation. The fact that they patched the Ogma Infinum exploit when creating the legendary perk system shows that. If they could fix the alchemy enchant exploit without breaking the enchanting system, they would jump on it in a heartbeat.

[@nintendbro3275]

​@@tanzolo4487 did you not play the release version? The one that was literally unplayable? The one where the pathing for the cart ride was off and could soft lock your game before you even make it to Helgen? We were laughing at it 😂

morrowind is the king of this. become megamind by drinking exponentially better potions of fortify intelligence because every time you drink one you get better at making them, then you just make a potion of fortify strength with your genius level intellect to make you a God and one shot the final boss after jumping six miles across the map

[@Cadinkisson1]

I’m honestly surprised FFVII didn’t make the list. The materia system alone essentially lets you one-shot the final boss if you do it right. Phonetic + Final Attack; Mime a character’s Lvl 4 Limit. Hades + (either Added Effect or Elemental, I can’t remember) on weapon. Etc
