7 Impossibly Badass Moments That Made Us Feel Like Mighty Gods

You know what they say about great power: "with great power comes having a great time". That’s why it’s called "great power". No-one knows this better than videogames in which you steadily earn and master more and better powers - or occasionally, for a special treat, a game will give you a bunch of power all at once so you can enjoy a big old power high. This video is dedicated to those badass moments of ultimate power that made us feel like mighty gods.

Yeah me too haha, the hull was weaker and didn't have the extra abilities and fire barrels to drop when you powerslide in front of ships I mean..it's soo easy to get overleveled, even without farming ships, it's fun and rewarding.. Idk what they're smoking haha. Odyssey made it a little tougher to get enough resources but it was even funner to battle so it didn't matter

[@DeathRogueTroll]

Same tho, I 100%'d the game, lmao, the queen anne's revenge was a major handicapping for me. A fully upgraded Jackdaw would have DECIMATED that Man o War, as it has with many other circumstances. I am pretty sure if you had the special battering ram you get from the mapcorner ships, you can easily 1-shot even the big boy boats.

[@deathbykonami5487]

Yeah I agree completely, the AC 4 and Far Cry 3 entries were complete tosh. I ignored the main story after getting the Jackdaw just to sail to every island in the Caribbean, take over every naval fort and pillage every ship I came across. As for Far Cry 3, I played that bit with the flamethrower, which was horrible because it has terrible range and doesn't stop the pirates from shooting you in the face. As for hunting wild animals, it's absolutely useless due to the animals knowing to run away from the thing that spews fire

[@adamb89]

The scene in Mass Effect 3 on Rannoch where Shepard faces down a reaper on foot is my personal favorite bad-ass moment. Dodging that giant cannon, keeping the targeting laser trained on the lens, the entire fleet above raining down an orbital strike on that one spot.

[@amateurartistsmind898]

You forgot about *Assassin's Creed Brotherhood* , the time when Ezio got the Apple of Eden and then they wiped the floor with Templars committing suicide. Same thing happened in *AC3* , when Desmond decided to use the Apple against Abstergo.

[@rayX98]

The brotherhood one was epic

[@BoaPython]

Yes, this. I was honestly scratching my head when they listed AC Black Flag over that. I mean, the Apple is the literal McGuffin the series was based on and suddenly it's in your hands and in your control. Suddenly, you know EXACTLY why the Templars are so obsessed with getting their hands on this thing. ^_^

[@Thefourthdimensional]

@@BoaPython I feel like the whole reason Black Flag was chosen was because, as they admitted they didn't upgrade the Jackdaw. If you've been properly upgrading your ship till that point (which isn't nearly as hard as they make it out to be, you literally just have to raid other ships while you travel) then the Queen Anne's Revenge isn't that much more powerful, whereas if you don't do upgrades and just stick to the main story (something that makes EVERY AC game way more difficult) it'll be a massive difference. Even then though there are so many more deserving moments in the series (my vote goes to the Apothis bossfight in Origins or pursuing Cesare at the end of Brotherhood) so I don't get why they chose this one, hell the very next game in the series has a similar moment where you pilot a man o war that feels more epic than this one.

Metal Gear Rising: almost the entire game! When you fight the first boss, Metal Gear Ray, and you start kicking it's ass, and then it tries to smash you with it's arm/wing/thing-that-also-shoots-missiles, and you block it with your sword while "Rules of nature" kicks in, and then you proceed to finish that fat, metalic bastard off with the sword...

The Ashtray Maze is the most "Sam Lake" thing Sam Lake ever put in a video game--and that's including all the times he put Sam Lake in a video game.

[@hawkins347]

Here's to many more Sam Lake moments to come.

[@SuperMelius]

Saints Row IV. Power armor, smashing your way through an alien ship while The Touch plays. Dragon Age Inquisition. Getting the ability to make the anchor explode in the final dlc. Metal Gear Solid 4. Piloting REX. Final Fantasy XV. Fighting Leviathan fully unleashed. Dragon Age 2. Prologue. Varrics storytelling. Star Wars the Force Unleashed. Pulling a f**king star destroyer out of the sky. Witcher 3. Playing as Ciri vs the wild hunt and Caranthir in Skellige.

[@mattchandler600]

Might be in the minority on this one, but in AC4 I always upgrade my Jackdaw really early (I enjoy the power fantasy of effortlessly sinking every hunter patrol that dares come after me) so whenever I get to the bit with the Queen Anne's Revenge I find it slow, too easy to hit (it has armour like tissue paper), and while its broadsides are amazing, its swivel guns are like pea shooters (that also fire at a pitiful speed compared to my rapid upgraded swivels).

[@andremerrick4925]

inFAMOUS 2: near the end of the game, Cole needs to recover the last blast core to power up and save the world. His friend Zeke is sick, doesn't have much time left, and is counting on him.

More options: Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood when you finished off the Borgia guards with the apple of Eden. Also the Time and Fate mission in Call of Duty Black Ops 2 when Raul Menendez goes berserk when his sister’s life is threatened. Also the Loki mission in Call of Duty Ghosts when you take control of the satellite array and rain down hellfire on your enemies from the sky. I think that’s all I got :)
