10 Absolutely RIDICULOUS Video Game Mechanics 

I love falcon. I’ve been watching these videos now like everyday for the last like 3 weeks and falcon is just hilarious

Seaman really hit the nail on the head. Most will rather have their food delivered or shop online today. It's to the point where "having to shopping" has become "wanting to shopping"

I love how in Metal Gear Rising after slicing a boss up into a thousand pieces they still call you on the codec and deliver a lengthy monologue before they actually die.

The ability for Abe to fart in the Oddworld series will always hold a special place to me. To this day, I've never seen a "fart" button added with such actual utility and grace!

I ve been watching these guys everyday for the past 2 years and it’s definitely the best gaming channel

Gameranx doing the job IGN fails to accomplish, thanks for the amazing videos.

Love when you guys shine a light on games I have never heard of. Thanks!

Okami's Celestial brush holds a special place in my heart. I remember being blown away after playing with it a few years ago. Man, I miss Okami!

When gameranx drops a video you got to know that it's good.

Prey is so criminally underplayed. One of my favorite games ever.

Im surprised the soul switch mechanic from Driver wasn't mentioned. It was completely unique mechanic that was never used anywhere else, as far as I know.

Oooof, Seaman predicting the future.. LOL Definitely ridiculous.

Another fun game mechanic is in Force Unleashed. The fact that Storm Troopers will grab onto each other to try to get out of a force grip. You can make giant chains of Stormtroopers all holding onto each other.

I am so glad that Grafitti Kingdom made the list! I immediately thought about that game when seeing this list. One of my favorite games as a kid and it never left my mind.

fracture on xbox 360 had a crazy mechanic, you altered the terrain in order to use certain powers. progress, etc etc i loved it when it came out.

Love your videos as always. Makes me appreciate video games more and introduces new games to me.

Man, Graffiti Kingdom was one of the coolest games I had ever played at the time. I remember showing it to all of my friends because I just thought it was so unique. Glad to see it listed here!

Gameranx is the only RU-vid channel that ive watched religiously from being a teenager to an adult. Idk how you guys keep it fresh after all this time but you do. Love you guys

Sea man spitting facts. Also, a highly underrated game that made my jaw drop was Scribblenauts Unmasked, you can type any DC character or random item and BAM it's right there!

Video geams.

Was recently playing Prey (even watching old gameranx vids on it!) and it really saddens me to see how excellent this game was and then see Redfalls current state. Arkane needs to return to the immersive sim genre

I've used the mimic ability in prey to turn into a pair of scissor slide through the opening of the security windoy ( the tray area is really small) to get into otherwise locked/blocked rooms also to hide from nightmare

There has yet to be a game mechanic that is as impressive and as complex as Revengeance's Blade Mode

I have been searching for years for Magic Pengel. I played it when i was younger and completely forgot the name. I remember it being really fun, and well made.

I’ve had Vagrants spawn in my game every time I’m dragging my friends through them and it makes me sound nuts, more than I do already talking about souls games to people who haven’t played a souls game

Very well-done video. Great job Falcon!

When do you revisit warhammer 40K darktide?

Its videos like these which i love the most, bring the weirdest and most ridiculous of gaming, falcon does the best stuff

I want to thank this channel for giving me constant entertainment every day...if say iv watched most of the videos in general

No joke I’ve watched every single top 10, caught up while I work during the day on my projects and it is just so damn great having Falcon’s voice be a staple of my work weeks now

Friendships were always fun but I love how much more they leaned into them in the new one. That's fantastic.

Arkane really needs to do a Prey sequel. They should have done that instead of Redfall.

15:10 the fact that Falcon made himself in Graffitti Kingdom is *elite*

Who knew Rob Schneider and Sea Man were so prophetic? They both nailed 2020+. Who wants an air high five!?😏

Cutting everything in the way in MGR was so cool and badass

I absolutely love gameranx been watching for a long time🤞🏽falcon has taught me so much about videogames 🤞🏽😂

5:24 "For a free steam game, it's pretty Cloggered". Gotta love the Falcon flubs

Love that you guys always make great video's hope you all at gameranx have a great day

Gave the like as soon as I heard you mention Prey. Truly a gem of gaming.

This video made me play The Looker, thank you gameranx!

#3 is hilarious the first time I played I picked Malkavian not knowing. Needless to say when the TV starts talking to you (about 2 minutes in) it is already pretty clear that nothing is about to make sense for you and so many other characters make it a point to say you are absolutely insane

I saw a Vagrant in Lower Undead Burg once and it freaked me out I had no idea what it was until today, thanks Falcon for putting that to rest for me.

Always bringing the heat! Good video Falcon and Jake.

Falcon and Jake are the finest in videogame observational discussion. Thanks fellas! This show starts my day with coffee every morning. Also... been playing Dark Souls for 10+ years and DID NOT KNOW THAT, i mean look at my name, shame on me

Bless the guy that created the double jump.

Not sure if it gets to the point of ridiculous, but the mechanic used in Viewfinder (a puzzle game that's definitely worth checking out) is something that still boggles my mind a little. You basically have photographs (that you find, or later take) that you can "make" real in order to create paths to get to a goal....like you align the image in real time on screen and then it's just....there. The fact that the game instantly makes the flat image fully 3d is something my brain just doesn't want to deal with. There isn't some transition or twinkly magic or anything to tell you. The image still looks exactly the same right until you move, as soon as you move in any direction and realize it's actually incorporated entirely into the world is pretty spectacular.

Been watching these videos for at least a couple years it never gets old

Thanks for showing me some of these old games. I have to try some of these out!

I wanna give a shoutout to Nioh’s revenant, and benevolent grave system. Awesome mechanic that was executed very well.

Top tier video's quality as always Gameranx!

I also loved scribblenauts when I was younger. It was crazy how I could draw or spell out and object and it would spawn

16:45 damn it, a fish predicted the future

MK’s Friendship endings are hilarious! 🤣 Ty for mentionining them bc I was NOT a big 11 fan so I wouldve never seen them. I’ll watch em all on RU-vid later. Zendatsu was fun af! Ty for every single mention of Metal Gear Rising yall make, using your platform to let these kids know!

I love these lists

Video suggestion: Top 10 Best Bad endings in video game history? 👀

"Press button to travel through time back and forth" was something I didn't expect at all in an FPS with mechas

The Graffiti Kingdom Falcon model at 15:09 is the most outrageous thing on this list (also the greatest lol). Legend.

Wow, this is literally the first time I've heard of the Vagrant, but I HAVE SEEN AND KILLED THAT THING! I just thought it was a special type of bug that might drop something cool. I remember some circles appearing after it died briefly. Never gave it much thought, lol.

I absolutely love you bro! Cheers from Mexico! Thanks for making my morning so happy today.

Mortal Kombat Friendships 😂 last time I played an MK game was a 7-11 in the 90s so had no idea they added this, and wow they went all in lol

Noob Saibots friendship in MK11 was hilarious, I never got tired of doing that one. 😂

Perfect.... Another Gameranx video to cure my insomnia.

Robocops Friendship in MK11 is one of the greatest things I've seen to this day

This video is absolutely hilarious. One of my favorites

I've never been into the Mortal Kombat games, but that friendship thing is adorable.

Malkavian was what the personality test gave me for my first playthough of Bloodlines, and I found it enjoyable. For the most part, I understood what was being said in the dialogue options, too.

Im SOOO happy I am not the only one who still plays MGSR this often lmao

Let’s admit the edit on this video is outstanding!

A great mechanic for a follow-up to this would be Olivia's wheelchair in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. In a game where you're stuck in a war-torn town full of murderous crazy people and pitted against them at the behest of the moon god, the last character you'd want to pick would probably be the wheelchair-bound herbalist, but she ends up having a lot of her own strengths with the wheelchair.. Its not without downsides though. You can't use stairs so you have to get off your wheelchair and slowly crawl up them, which is even worse if you're running from an enemy. Your movement speed gets greatly reduced if you lose an arm, and you're completely immobilized if you lose both. She also can't use heavy two-handed weapons, like the ones Abella can craft. Despite that, she's also able to weaponize her wheelchair by tumbling downstairs with it and stunning enemies she runs into, which had me laughing way more than I ever thought I would at a game like Fear & Hunger. She also loses nothing if any of her legs get wounded; everyone else can't sprint if they lose one and have to crawl everywhere if they lose both. There's other positives she has, like a good starting trinket and being able to harvest and use herbs, but the wheelchair alone makes her a much more interesting to play character than you'd expect.

I remember the Seaman AVGN episode, it was one of my favorites next to "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" 😂😂

Yoo falcon. Seriously, how often are you playing games? Youre talking about going back to old games every couple of months, mean while im here trying to play one game and finish it for months lol keep up the good work

Love watching the vids with Falcon in!

In Overlord, you also did control an army of minions 😂

Never thought I would see Mortal Kombat get a spot on here. Thanks 😊

Seaman nailed it in that line about what the internet would do to people.

Prey ❤, one of my favourite games! Perfect Dark also had some really astonishing game mechanics.

Shinobi is a good one too because there's a mechanic where you can defeat everyone on screen in one sword strike

In all my years of Mortal Kombating, I never performed a FRIENDSHIP

As weird as Seaman is, he is pretty insightful about how world works today

Prey is absolutely Arkane's masterpiece, and will likely remain so forever now that Microsoft shut down Austin studio. And the MK Friendships are insane, hilarious and i love them

The Hidden City games had a “Press down to Mahjong” feature that completely baffled me and my cousin when we played them hahaha

Yoooooo Seaman was awesome one of my favs as a kid. Came with a microphone with a big green windcover. This game tricked me into getting hey you pikachu lol

TURBO OVERKILL NEEDS MORE LOVE FROM GAMERANX

I laughed so hard when falcon called a tv ,magic box haha. Sounding like someone from the 12th century. Haha.

Wow, really good episode!

When i see gameranx i just watch the video even though i don't have time to play games anymore

Top notch editing, especially in the first 30s goddam. Nailed it.

Love the Epic Sax Guy reference in Mortal Kombat 11.

16:47 Sea-man is talking about right now. He’s the Nostradamus of the ocean

I actually was considering what a game would be like if there were no dialogs boxes with set options, but, instead, you had to literally talk, through a microphone, to the NPCs and if you ask the right questions or make the right comments, you get the information you're looking for.

Saturdays are for the boys!!!

I’ve never heard of Seaman and I lost my sauce when I discovered it in your video. 😂😂😂

always enjoy a Graffiti Kingdom shout out. That game was hard to get even when it was released

16:30 wow. The foresight. Everything is spot on

Graffiti Kingdom,i completely forgot about that sheeit. I remember somebody made Megaman X and that sheeit looked amazing. I cant remember if there was a way to share creations back then buti was blown away by how that worked

I remember when I was around 14-16, and renting Graffiti Kingdom from Blockbuster. I made my own creature- The Red Nightmare. It had squiggles for chain saw hands.

Love jake, love falcon, keep up the awesomeness guys.

Wow, it's been a while since I heard an epic sax guy reference (1:44)

10:17 “The Wonderful 101... has up to 100 guys...” 😂

Fun bonus about metal gear rising if you equip a special energy hair item you can stack the slow time between both energy abilities increasing the slow you have for the duration letting you get a ton of hits in that usually are impossible to get at regular slow speed.
