7 Times Games Stole All Your Stuff

Many a time we've spent a game acquiring precious items and equipment, then lost it all when the game ransacked our inventory - by means of a fussy elevator, quad bike crash, island shipwreck or, more often than not, throwing us in jail. Nightmare. Subscribe for a video like this every Thursday!
What better way to test your complacent, loot-laden player than by nicking all their gear? Is presumably the thinking here.
Take the elevator in Silent Hill 2's Lakeview Hotel, which has a capacity of exactly one person. And when it says "one person", it means it.
What’s more, that person must weigh exactly however much protagonist James Sunderland weighs, apparently, and they can’t be carrying anything else, no matter how light.
That means if you want to ride this elevator, say goodbye to all your health drinks, first aid kits, guns, music boxes and, most importantly, your torch, the only thing standing between you and what lurks in the spooky darkness.
If you’ve ever played a survival horror game you’ll know that having health kits and guns and the ability to see are the only things keeping you from freaking out like a cat who’s seen a cucumber.
So fair play to Silent Hill 2 for the next half hour of Silent Hill 2, which was some of the most unpleasantly tense time we’ve ever spent in a game, made possible by this despicable act of thievery.

A few more I can think of: When Raiden was naked in Metal Gear 2. No weapons, LITERALLY no clothes, and no ability to grab anything to defend himself because he has to use his hands to... preserve his modesty. In FFVII when Yuffie stole your materia. Sure, it wasn't ALL your items, but it might as well have been, if your team relied on magic and summoning attacks. AND ALSO that part in Castlevania Symphony Of The Night, when Death shows up near the beginning, steals all your items, and then you, with all your eloquence, just go "WHAT?!"

[@daamazinfatb0y752]

You know what I love most about this channel? The fact that you guys actually list the games your going to spoil BEFORE the list begins. Why cant others give us a heads up like you guys?

[@archy_bold]

The original Half Life did just this very thing. After being teased that you've finally reached the surface - a feat you're urged to complete for pretty much the whole game up to that point - the screen suddenly goes black. It turns out you've been captured by the military types who you've had little trouble (ok, maybe some trouble) dealing with beforehand. They mutter something about wanting to get rid of your body and you awake in a rubbish/trash compacter with none of the equipment you'd grabbed. Luckily the guys who put you there made two fatal errors; turning their back the second they turned the thing on and failing to remove the boxes stacked, rather handily, in increasing size like a set of stairs. You quickly get the crowbar back, but the rest of your guns have to be earned again.

[@kaneaquino8295]

What about Dishonored? When your allies, after you do the supposed "final mission", betray you and drop you off to Daud's lair in a flooded district. Sure, it's optional to get your stuff back, but come on, you most likely got a bunch of good equipment that you've been saving.

Half Life. It happens in the middle of the game when poor Gordon gets knocked out by dumb soldiers, stripped of his weapons and he needs to reobtain his arsenal all over again. Then there's the ending where he is stripped of his weapons AGAIN. Gordon is given an ultimatum ending: work for gman or totally dying by aliens while unarmed. AND Gman let Gordon keep the HEV suit in the ending. But in the beginning of Had Life 2, Gordon is without his armor! Gman totally nicked that too!

[@KasumiRINA]

Odyssey and Brotherhood does the same! I think it's another trope, "a taste of power", many games (FF6 & 12, most NFS games, Dragon Age 2, Force Unleashed, Far Cry Blood Dragon, Chaos Legion) have the first level with you being overpowered and then take stuff away from you, it's less egregious in racing games where you lose your car, of course... But losing skills and having to re-learn them is Ubisoft's favorite trope, notice how rarely you start as a fully trained assassin and in those cases, you get heavily injured or something.

[@RoboSparkle]

Final Fantasy 8 has a variation on this in the final dungeon of all places. True, the game doesn't steal your stuff but it does prevent you from using any items, magic, summons, limit breaks or other commands in battle AND removes your ability to save the game inside the dungeon until you unlock them again! One at a time that is, by defeating bosses. Without most of your abilities.

[@SpydersByte]

FFVIII also does literally take your equipment away in the galbadia prison in the desert part.

[@commentercommentypants7904]

The first Bioshock forces you to fight dozens of splicers and an auto turret in what's essentially a giant foggy freezer with only a wrench and your plasmids to your name. Let me tell you, a flamethrower for a hand isn't as effective as you might think it is when you can't see two feet in front of you, flying robots are shooting you, and some drunk weirdo is yelling at you for working for his old boss.

[@lonelyratgirl3688]

Dishonored, during the Flooded District mission Daud throws all of your gear away and you can decide whether you want it back or not. Honestly one of the best mission of the game! Deus Ex HR, when you get captured during The Missing Link DLC, all of your gear has been taken and your augmentations have been disabled. Very fun and difficult mission.

[@kallasantysanty6092]

Do not forget that at the start of Deus Ex HR you loose your both arms and some other body parts becouse of the (later) first in game boss. You literally gave him an arm (both) and a leg (parts of) to be a half-robot like him :P

[@DylanGarcia1619]

What about Metal Gear Solid 2? Not only does Raiden lose his gear, but also his clothes. Meaning you play an entire stealth section completely naked.

[@tpbloomfield]

Add Metal Gear Solid 3 to that too, where they take away all your weapons, equipment, camouflage and med gear, leaving you to run around topless with just a fork and an empty revolver. Oh, and a slightly altered aiming view thanks to Ocelot's showing off also completely ruining your perfectly good eye. Snake might get to keep his trousers, but I think he'd have given them up (if you ask Sigint, anyway) to have his eye back no matter how well he rocks the eyepatch.

[@icaruspunk]

It was definitely cruel to the players, playing as Raiden in general. Though, I was never as upset about the loss of the gear as much as the lack of playing as Snake.

My first thought was DA:O Awakening, when in the Deep Roads. If you don't find all the darkspawn wearing your party's gear you just lose it. Or in the actual game in the Fort Drakon sequence.

[@alabaster1913]

Other examples which come to mind: Skyrim: in the ‘No one escapes Cidhna mine’ mission you are inprisoned in Cidhna mine when unraveling the Foreswarn conspiracy and all your gear is taken from you. The same thing also happens whenever you go to jail in Skyrim, and as part of the story mission quest ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ where you can only take a limited amount of gear into the Thalmor embassy. Horizon Zero Dawn: as part of the story mission ‘The terror of the sun’ your gear is taken and you have to fight a Behemoth machine in an enclosed arena. Half life 1: In ‘Chapter 9: Apprehension’ Gordon is subdued and captured by two soldiers who take all his gear and drop him into a rubbish compactor.

[@krampusklaws2238]

Cidhna mine, true enough. but you can take full armour, necklace, rings, and weapons into the embassy and get them back before you have to fight anyone. On the other hand, if you are a mage, you always have spells. Those can never be removed.

Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark actually opens with some dark elves stealing all the stuff your character would have acquired in the previous NWN expansion. What was really memorable about that to me was that you play through two of the game's three chapters before you finally confront the dark elves who stole your stuff, and the dialogue options allow you to play as if the only reason you'd been following the game's main quest was because you wanted to get your stuff back.

To keep them and everything you collected on the island, just drop them before placing the final orb and you can keep everything.

I'm pretty sure there's going to be a Part 2 to this video. Between old-timey shooters trying to make sure you couldn't hoard powerful weapons from early levels to make the late game easy, story-driven games trying to find a way to make the player feel the character's loss, and sequels/chapters that just can't/don't check your inventory from the end of the last section, losing useful items is a pretty common occurrence in video games. I'd like to specifically call out the strategy games, city-builders, roguelites, etc with random events that just take stuff from you. You can't plan for them, except by hoarding enough stuff to make sure you can carry on no matter what events get thrown at you.

[@SuperGLoad]

first thought: wheres doom?

[@Frost_Lily]

Or Assassin's Creed Origins.

[@marhawkman303]

Or when a mission decides to make you do stuff without using YOUR stuff. Star Trek Online(an MMO) has a LOT of story missions, and some of these disable your stuff to force you to do the mission without it. You technically still have all your stuff, you just can't use it. Examples: Coliseum: You get trapped in a gladiatorial arena where most of your gear doesn't work, and have to get out without using it, then find a way off the planet. Step Between Stars: you are exploring an alien space station and have to make a quick escape... in a borrowed alien ship... with junk gear. Temporal Ambassador: a temporal paradox occurs and crates an alternate timeline where you're a slave to the Tholians, it does BOTH of the above AND forces you to wear a prison suit for most of the mission.

[@misterthegeoff9767]

Yeah for a while it seemed every game that came out was doing this. Duke Nukem 3D was the worst because not only did it take your stuff, it also put you in an electric chair.

[@roco3272]

What about Tomb Raider 2. At the end of level 3 I believe where Laura was captured. They take your stuff and you don’t get it back.

[@GothcatGerald]

For me, when I think of losing everything you have, it was Hordes of the Underdark for Neverwinter Nights that stands out the most. Here you have your inventory and gear collected over many hours of multiple campaigns stolen away at the very start. Sure, you can get it back if you search enough later on, but it's entirely possible to NOT get it back if you simply don't find it and miss it altogether.

[@James-zr8vi]

I have two examples, kinda. In Skyrim, you loose all your gear when you're arrested. You then either have to do your time or escape to get the stuff back.

Fallout 3 in Tranquility Lane. Okay, you have just settled your vault suit covered bum into a VR longuer so you are expecting some sort of weird experience and the game doesn't let you down by turning your entire world sepia. "Okay," you say. "I can handle this. Let's just have a look at the good old PipBoy and see what equipment I have to play with." At that point you realise that rather than wearing the latest in Robco personal computing snugly around your left wrist, but a Vault Boy watch. First time I played that I nearly Blue Screened. The interface that tells you your equipment, your health, your location, your current quests in between refreshing your ear drums with some nice harmonies from The Ink Spots is now a sodding wrist watch that isn't even showing the correct time.

Bonus points added for the fact that after the fight, while you do get your gear back, in some versions of the game all your rare, expensive and hard to find ammo doesn't come back with it....

[@jasonnewell7036]

You can just run through to the pneumo tube at the back of the room and grab all your guns.

At least you were mentally prepped for that fight.

@@jasonnewell7036 A first time player may not know to find that Pneumo...I know I sure didn't lol. The Lot 192 section is annoying, but two things: -you're far more powerful as you're in endgame at that point. Your Gene Tonics(assuming you prepared beforehand) and weapon arsenal can carry you to the second dose without much of a hassle. -at least it raises the Plasmid it gives you at each cycle to its highest Rank(save the few that don't have upgraded versions), so you get to try try them out in combat against mooks (my first playthrough had me use the Swarm Plasmid for the first time there and as a result I'm sold on it in each subsequent playthrough)

Wouldn't count. These are games where your inventory of items you actually spent your time acquiring were taken from you. This doesn't apply to items you started the game with. Otherwise, all Metroid Prime games and Castlevania: SOTN would have also qualified for this list. This type of thing kind of happens with Ducktales 1 & 2 as well for the NES, as all of the treasures you've acquired during the game have to be given to Glomgold towards the end. But you do eventually get them back after beating the final boss.

I have a theory that game developers realised that a lot of players find a large part of the enjoyment in these games from the progression of gearing up and unlocking new skills.

There is a way you can still keep your weapons for Eventide Island except your clothes. All you have to do is land in the water and swim to the shore. When you get to shore begin to barely walk on land then drop the weapons you want to keep. After the cut scene your items will still be on the ground. I did this the first time I played but I don't know if they patched it out somehow. When I did it I approached the island from the left side near some rocks. There is a section of land near a tree that doesn't trigger the cut scene until you walk passed it. That's where you can drop items and not worry about them falling in the water. I know that's not the point of the trial but it makes it way faster to get through.
