Now that you know a few of ours, what is a video game betrayal that YOU are still not over? It still stings! Oh, and try to avoid spoilers please.

[@amakky1989]

“Would you kindly” need I say more?

[@Slendysis]

The fate of the little girl in Bloodborne's Yharnam- no matter what you do, this doesn't end well.

[@nickofzo]

I still feel betrayed that Rob never finished mgs5

[@daynabryant8408]

I cohost a live stream show for the Sacramento Comedy Spot with a friend of mine. Over 4 shows I played Outlast b/c I love horror games, and I'm really sensitive so I scream a lot. The 1st show my cohost and the club owner found out they could scare me pretty much whenever with the most basic "oh my goodness, what is that" moments. So finally on show 4 we get to the end of the game. We're wrapping up, I'm glad it was over. And then another friend of mine (off camera) jumps into the room. I scream so loud, take a deep breath, and then scream louder, that's how scared I was. (I have a very suitable horror film scream.) Turns out they had planned that for weeks! I'm still waiting for a good revenge moment to arise.

[@FineYungCannibal.]

Got to be the end of Red Dead Redemption 1, I felt so wounded, and couldn't believe what they did to the main character. For a minute I was trying to think how it can't be real and how has he survived. Lmao.

[@johngingras]

The Nathan Snake reveal was one of my favorite things this year. That was simply amazing.

[@3row4wy23]

Yes! Definitely my favorite livestream moment of 2021.

[@gaffermorls]

Ash’s betrayal of Rob in First Class Trouble was perfect

[@PlayStationAccess]

Very enjoyable, for most of us

[@jesuslegaspi7115]

Meanwhile every civilian in skyrim realizes they have been betrayed and Rob is not the true dragon born but a mass murder pretending to be the dragon born 😱

[@PlayStationAccess]

They are in very real danger!

[@CreedenceTheBass]

I don't think I would know anything about Metal Gear Solid if Rob didn't answer every question with Metal Gear Solid 😂

[@PlayStationAccess]

Important knowledge, some would argue

[@CreedenceTheBass]

@@PlayStationAccess Some would argue, we need the MGS Collection on PS5, just so I can have first hand experience 😭

[@althor2718]

I remember when they used to keep a tally on how many times MGS was mentioned 🤣

[@jannerrr]

@@CreedenceTheBassIt has arrived…

[@TheSpiderPan]

Rosie's betrayal is one of my favorite live streams. It was so much fun.

[@ethancodes7134]

This should have been a 25 minute video with citizens of Skyrim talking discussing how they've been betrayed by the Dragonborn shouting them off cliffs, robbing them blind, and stabbing them in the back! lol

[@timothyoswald8618]

Still want to know Ash's despicable video game moment.

[@BigDerfGaming]

Wait... Has Ash not played MGS? Someone call Christmas Snake, we need him again.

[@scarletepitaph2699]

modern warfare 2, general shepherd. I'll never forget that day.

[@DaeminN]

I've never really played the Metal Gear series, and I've heard Rob speak of it for a considerable amount of time now, but I just never get tired of it. So thanks Rob for being so enthusiastic about it, and sharing your enjoyment of it.

[@dewaalvandercolff251]

Damn Rob gave me chills, and I'm not even a MGS fan

[@mononoke721]

You guys should play more First Class Trouble as a whole group. Betrayal is so delicious!

[@PlayStationAccess]

A fantastic idea!

[@maureen_83]

@@PlayStationAccess I second this.

[@Amaritudine]

And with _Among Us_ releasing on PS4 and PS5 next month, I foresee much more space-based backstabbing ahead.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Rob, Rosie, Dave, Ash, with special appearances of Dan and Nath. A full six set. Or have Hollie and/or Elle join that stream if either Dan and/or Nath cannot participate.

[@vegaspowerlifting]

Watched whooter live and never laughed so hard, thanks Rob.

[@PlayStationAccess]

Wouter died so that we could laugh. RIP

[@Sol-mr1lv]

I'd say that the real betrayal was when Nath and Dave ruined the "shoot the Boss" - moment

[@jayrising442]

That was really awesome Spooky Ash presenting the coaster too Smurf Rosie, really good moments like that make it even better to watch.

[@sharkyaya]

That Wouter betrayal is one of the best streams Access have done!

[@aisforannihilation1662]

It was really sweet tho with all the viewers helping in fall guys kinda like the guys who helped Rob in Bloodborne. Always refreshing to see ppl help each other vs toxic negativity & hatred.

[@rivolinho]

I love Rob's MGS love-ins. Reminds me of happy times in school/college when the latest metal gear game was greatest marriage of film and games ever committed to disk and you'd be absolutely desperate to play it.

[@jamiewalton1249]

That was spoken beautifully Rob 👌 incredible game that hits you right in the feels multiple times!

[@yourfriendtuna]

The MGS3 ending still brings so many emotions. Rob is absolutely spot on.

[@gethprime6549]

Rob talking about MGS3 was fantastic.

[@hintonus]

The Wouter betrayal never ceases to make me laugh 😂

[@machomancake]

NATH LEFT!?!?!? omg I haven’t been keeping up w this channel for a looooooong time. Finally decided to dip my toes back in and binge a couple Friday Checklists (which I guess now have a different name?) and stuff and I come to find out NATH LEFT!?!

[@Deathreaper877]

That MGS3 moment was right in the feels. Good shout Rob. One of my favourite quotes from The Boss was "What's it going to be? Loyalty to your country, or loyalty to me? Your country, or your old mentor? The mission, or your beliefs?" So powerful! I absolutely love the MGS series.

[@jammyb89]

Yeah Rob that was deep... The moment that made it all.

[@amakky1989]

“Bigly boss” should be a dark souls character name 😂

[@RD_Clarke]

During a split screen game of CTR between me, my brother & my cousin we were about to start the final race in our cup, my brothers girlfriend came to the door so we paused it, but whilst he was away me & my cousin un-pauses the game, did a lap of the track & lined ourselves up perfectly at the starting line again so he wouldn’t be suspicious.... he didn’t realise what had happened until we were on our final lap & he still had one to go 😂 made him lose the entire cup

[@ethancodes7134]

bahaahahaha omg the Wouter part gets me every time this comes up. it's so hilarious. lol. The absolute best thing I've ever seen on PSA. hahahaha!

[@AiorosSagittarius]

Can I just say how much I love the thumbnail for this video? 🤣😁 The expressions? Priceless!

[@davidludwig7501]

Rob I felt the same when completing MGS 3. It broke my heart to pull the trigger. Such a great game.

[@christianfarren1179]

Doc Ock in Insomniac’s Spider Man Keep in mind, I saw the Rami films, read the comics, I had a pretty good idea of what would happen when I heard the name Otto Octavius. And yet, despite all that, the game got me to like him, understand why he’s doing what he’s doing and solve all the tech puzzles. So when he does finally don the tentacles and goggles, it’s like, “My god. He’s gone full villain and *I* helped him do it!”

[@Crisjola]

I really really really *really* hope that the friend who sent the cat picture with the article about RDR2 was Jules. Because as far as I know, Jules is the only presenter who has cats that he loves to show off.

[@anthonymiranda2683]

I love these check lists!

I'm watching the Tuesday checklist on Wednesday, on Friday. This is madness. what is days anymore I do not know?

[@peteworrall9203]

The Nathan Snake stream was superb.

[@bigfatgamer3257]

The biggest betrayal has happened here! The Tuesday checklist actually came out on a Tuesday?? I am disappointed 😂. Love you guys, you keep me moderately sane 😁.

[@updownleftrightish]

How wild is it that Snake Eater was a PS2 game it still looks great. Nathan Snake was the best actually just clicked that it's also a play on Nathan Drake...great editing on this one. I appreciate you folks. big time.

[@anaroth9600]

I adore these lovely people at PlayStation Access

whoa, I wasn't checking for over a year and was pleasantly surprised seeing Ash in this channel. Glad to see many UK youtubers are actually friends.

[@jmace2424]

Here’s what I want to know: when Rob got married did he work Metal Gear into his vows???

I'm so annoyed I hadn't watched the Nathan Snake stream now. That would've been epic to watch live!

19:06 elsewhere Dave felt a chill rush down his spine and a sense of dread entered his heart. For in that very moment Ash found out what to do for next Halloween.

[@Lollipopme03]

I thought ash's was going to be not killing amygdala in the bloodborne stream cause that was AMAZING!

[@LAnimeMaster]

Biggest betrayal for me in a game? Anders in Dragon Age 2.

[@jaymckeown7601]

I love the throwback mention to Jules from Ash in this one.

[@lunarrhymes]

Solas. I played Inquisition blind, not knowing anything (I'd played DAO and DA2) I had an elven rogue Inqy and the moment Solas opened his mouth, I was done for. He became the most fascinating, most eloquently well-spoken, most intelligent character to me and I had him on my team for the entire game and also romanced him.... Only for the ending to happen. Then Trespasser happened and even though I was still hurt and had been bigly betrayed, I don't believe he is evil and if given the chance in DA4, will do my best to redeem him. But yes, that was my biggest video game betrayal.

[@charliefoxtrot5046]

My reaction to that was more oooooh sneaky than feeling outright betrayed. I was all about Cullen romance-wise so on my second playthrough I decided to play as an elf to romance Solas instead and see if anything was different. Doing that knowing he was going to betray me made it all the more bittersweet and I think it might make for a cracker of a storyline in DA4 but I didn't get the full sting of betrayal. I did with Anders though. I only romanced him because of his resemblance to Alistair and seeing what he did and then having to decide whether or not to kill him had me swithering for ages. Any time I played after that I played as a mage healer myself so I didn't have to use him and wouldn't feel bad about killing him.

[@michaelcoull1994]

Have to say, as MGS3 is not only my personal favourite game of all time, it's one of my favourite stories of all time also and I think Rob perfectly summed up my feelings as to why. The betrayal

[@timothyoswald8618]

I couldn't work in game journalism, having a game I'm excited about spoiled would happen way too often.

[@Jagielka06]

I’m not sure that the Nathan Snake betrayal will ever be topped. Genuine jaw drop moment watching that! I’m sure initially Nath was disappointed that being locked out of the Uncharted 3 plat meant he couldn’t overtake Rosie. But I think there’s something equally as deliciously petty with drawing level on plats. Not overtaking her…but simply stopping her from being ahead. Lovely.

[@robertbouley7697]

‘He doesn’t have to win for her to loose.’ I agree, that’s a tier above competitiveness - well into ruthless spite. All in good fun! 😁

[@reinerolivera2390]

Dang it rob why did that hit so hard😭

[@billybattery]

I thought maybe just MAYBE Riv had something over than MGS3 in his betrayal memory banks

[@shawnsmith4692]

I probably played mgs 3 through like 7 to 9 times but 4 was probably the game I've played through the most 11. It was so good. Still haven't beaten 5 and probably never will. 3 or 1 are just below ff8 for my favorite games of all time.

[@ARKumalarkey]

Maybe this is just me rationalising but I was aware of the big twist in RDR2 before I even started playing the game, and I would argue that doing so is almost as good as having no idea whatsoever. There was a sense of dread, a tension that hung over every action as I waited and waited and hoped it wouldn't happen. When it did happen I wasn't surprised, of course, but I was still very sad.
