10 Biggest Gaming LIES of Your Childhood You Didn't Notice

Yes since he is secretly multiple falcons all at once

I've commented that I truly believe he is an anthropomorphic bird, evolved for one purpose - entertaining the gaming masses

@@thesmoothspartan He is three falcons in a trenchcoat.

Milennial Falcon

Came to the comments for this. Glad I'm not alone.

Maybe their age charts say that most of people on the channel are below 20 years old, that's maybe why

I’m at least graced with my teen years in most/all these games.

I'm 51, I feel this comment, in my joints haha.

Everyone who watches this video at 40 was an adult when every one of these games released

You’re not alone on that buddy! I wish they bring it back one day.

I literally will never forget that game

That and kotor are on my perpetual replay list. I’ve done kotor this year…maybe it’s time for jade empire.

And MDK2 before that.

I've done the good and evil playthrough of the Jade Empire. Dude, going evil leads to some pretty screwed up stuff

Its not a lie tho. It works but from then on you cant move the camera infront of laura other wise she turns the canera around and tells you to stop being a creep.

Lol. Really? I just remember every code I found didn't work.

It does i had a cheat code magazine that had it in it. It was either the one for 64 or playstation one. But the code worked and id have to jam the camera into a corner to see anything and it was just barbie mode really

​@@Kagdra_omenthat's not true at all, there was never a code for that however there was a fan made patch. The developers put the nude code into the 2nd game, but when used, it just made Lara explode.

@@floatinghamstick it is true i have done it and she turns the camera around when you try to creep and says i dont think so.

You mean a digital license to play the game? 😅 We don't own games anymore.

@@davidmclay6182digital is the price u pay for performance. Ssd>blu-ray player

​@@davidmclay6182 We kinda do? As long as the games are stored on your harddrive they can't prevent you from playing it.

@michaelkjellander9370 How many games do you own that require online access? The trend is going in that direction.

​@@michaelkjellander9370if you lose access to your account then you won't have access to the games though

That's clever and creepy at the same time.

​@@monfr0 That's Bethesda being Bethesda

It just works

Yep, I remember this one

I did think it was New Vegas either way, I saw it

I actually liked Andromeda. It wasn't a Shepard game but was in no way as bad as people think.

I actually enjoyed Andromeda. I get some of the criticism, but not the hate.

Considering they fixed most of the issues in Andromeda it's actually a really fun game now. The problem is they needed to release the promised content they never made to complete the game.

@@davidkearney7933 only issue is it has a weak protagonist, ryder isnt anything special. but the game nailed the feeling of exploring a new galaxy, new races, new threats and companions

Andromeda is total shit! Forget the wonky faces. thats a tiny cheesy complaint. Howabout another galaxy being the same everythign with different color stuffs & typical aliens w/ very Human like agendas. The game was a boring story & had promise but i couldn't finish it. **Mass Effect should make 1st contact Prequel where Humanity goes through the game only to see a Alien Turien ship & blow it pieces lol.. Obviously that war had a happy ending but what if that's because we nuked their homeplanet all WW2 style... I think this makes more sense then going to another galaxy that will haveta to be blow you away like different or people wont like it.. ~~In StarWars the Other Galaxy was so weird & different that THE FORCE didn't work on them or anything from there.. Sure they retconned that later but... My God those StarWars books were epic.. My Canon for sure. Disney=NonCanon!

It is one of my favorites

Back when I first finished it I was excited to see a to be continued at the end. Since it sold so badly it won't happen but I can't help but still be a little hopeful for a sequel.

Do remember playing little bit of Dante's Inferno through PS Plus years ago on PS3. Think it was more of a trial? But it a good beat em' up as I remember. It a backlog game for me. Does make me wonder if the PSP version also had the HP glitch too?

@@eastbeast1379 Dude,, you for sure should play it now. psp version lol. i don't suggest playign that lol.. I actually still have mine.. A Red one with a black rubber border case. Vita too..... ~~Dante's Inferno holds up well & there's a awesome strategy guide for it from Prima if your into those.. Sure it's Xbox360 graphics but atleast its cartoony so that helps it some.. Gameplay is it's meat & potatoes. & the game gets difficult in 2nd half. Best part is you get alot of game wher eyou use your Uber SKills. Like God Of War... Man, i hate games wher eyou get all uber jacked & then the game just ends.. I say give it a shot.. It's backwards compat on Xbox & IIRC it's on STeam. I never checked how backwards worked on PS4 as i only played current on ps4..Man i hate Sony for ignoring backwards on every console since ps3.

😂 I'm hiding in dark souls to watch this

@@dylanbyard4594just don't look behind you 👀

Better than the new scoobydoo

@@closwestend No lies detected.

There's a small segment in MHW where you "spook a cat and have to chase it to its lair". But the little guy gives you plenty of time, so you can even overtake him and then it gets really confusing, because now he has to teleport ahead of you or just restart from the last checkpoint. It is legitimately easier to do right, when you are deliberately bad at following him. Later on there's a mission where your objective says "destroy these parts", but if you actually do that, the ultimate objective can't be met as quickly. Every part destroyed slows down the progress and literally doesn't matter in any positive way. You just sit down for 15 minutes, hit some teleport triggers and at the end you hit a monster a few times in order to trigger the last cutscene.

this is how Doom replays work too, but everything in the game is deterministic, so the same inputs give the same outputs

driv3r does this, their was times I drove around for like 3 hours, then I would watch the replay and at the 30 minute mark I was arrested by the police, something that didnt happen

Counter Strike replays work this way too

Trials does this, but the physics engine is too good at being random so half the replays after a period of time they all just show you crashing a few checkpoints into the map

*sigh* Story of my life, I’m still waiting for it to be released.

@@Unchainedfuldidn’t yooka laylee replace it

@@xbon1 yooka laylee was 100% fun, but it felt a bit TOO much like a game right out of the 90s, as opposed to the newer mario games which, while still similar to Mario 64, are clearly modern games. I would love to see a modern take on Banjo...I'm sure it would sell really well if Rare could do a good job

Yeah or the secret keys and eggs in the first game that were supposed to somehow carry over to the second game.

Man, you just hit the nail on the head. Banjo Kazzooie and Tooie are absolute gems. Pure fun.

I have a shotgun!

Same I noticed it too. Like you I timed distances and was like cool were jogging at the speed of snail lol

Yea, I never felt the elevators wierd, in fact it made the game more believable to me, like that's how they'd actually have to get around a station like that

it was a slow loading mechanic, that they firgured out how to fix but by that time they had all that filler content that would have been cut if they didn't leave it slow lol

Game: 50% chance to hit Game: hits exactly 1/2 of the time, over time Player: THIS GAME CHEATS

Mass Effect as sponsored by McDonald's

Freaking right! That Yars Revenge box art got me as a kid. I just knew it was going to be epic. Pitfall too!

Wow I felt this comment in my soul

Finally I can share my PAIN.

THAT'S my childhood more than anything in this video, LOL! Seems like they had the greatest box/manual art because the limitations of the graphics were so low, they'd use the box art to show "See? THIS is what we're going for, THIS is what those blobs are supposed to look like".

@@niceguy169 wondering if anyone ever has made a game that utilized that box art style for a real game. And if not, someone should!

You mean... Oh the amount of stress I could of saved 😭

Don’t try this in Deus Ex: Human Revolution or Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Same 😅

teenager for all but quake 3 that was when i was 9

Couldn't because wsad wasnt the standard. I believe after quake was when mouse aiming was popularized.

Been playing video games since 1978 so all these games were made after I was an adult, many after I was a parent LoL 😂.

Same. First games I played were on the Intellivision, Atari 2600, and a Tandy PC.

What, you mean you never unlocked luigi as a playable character? You need to go back and replay it!

I never thought of it that way. I like that, actually.

Exactly! Everything in games is "smoke and mirrors", we understand it's not real thinking npcs- but it's the way it's handled and presented.

The AI was not very advanced, but it was compensated for by the Natural Intelligence of the devs.

But minty fresh!

I totally forgot about doing that 😂 after too many games of mine I broke, I realized I needed to just put my games away. But I also remember back in the day PS2/Xbox seemed to scratch the disks over time while modern consoles fixed that issue

It could, because toothpaste is filled with micro-abrasives, which can smooth out scratches and make it so the laser can get through it to the data beneath. If the scratch was deep enough it damaged the actual data disc inside the plastic, though, the game was finished.

YEEEEESSS! This need to be a list! Also the rubbing/ cleaning of scratched disks in general did absolutely shite all!

Got to a situation on our PS1 we’re we had to put the PS1 console on an angle to play games … I do not know what was going on internally but that’s what happened! 😅

Yeah how was that not on this list I've never played a portal game but I'm well aware of the cake lie it's infamous. You don't lie about cake.....you just don't!

That's actually a lie. There is a cake; it's just surrounded by explosives.

😅

borderlands was also nothing like what they said it would be, when it was first pitched it was more akin to what the mad max game ended up being

@@Slvl710 Damn I remember that! I was really excited for the game because it looked like Auto Assault except single player, with Halo-esque realistic graphics. So imagine my surprise when I saw the next trailer the following year. But still, games change and evolve, and they weren't outright lying/overpromising as others like to do. No "Fable 3 is bigger than Oblivion" type sht here. Weird thing though; I remember there being one character in BL1 who was way more realistic and sophisticatedly animated than any other character in the game. I forgot her name, but I always thought that was the developers referencing their early build.

@@Slvl710 Dude,, i still have the Game Informer Magazine wher ethe game was revealed. & The art Style for Borderlands was realistic not cartoon cell shaded cheese we ende dup getting.. I call it cheese because it was done to cut cost for sure.. ~~StarWars The Old Republic MMO did the same exact thing & Same game magazine revealed the game with realistic graphics... I remember the reveal of the corny 4X's life size of lightsabers and people were pissed online for sure... ~It's very rare i come across someone who remembers that Borderlands 1 story..

Same my friend, same 😢😢

here in solidarity with you 👴

My childhood was the Binatone (various versions of pong) and later the Atari 2600, so don't worry, you're only old, not well old!

Yeah, unless it's a specific timed mission, most time limits in open world games are false and nothing will happen until you trigger it. Even RDR 2 does it when Marston is in prison, he's going to be hung soon yet you can spend weeks doing everything else in the game and ignoring him.

​@@Elwaves2925or lava rising

Super metroid had an early escape sequence where the player was unknowingly invincible. Nier automata has an entire sequence in the desert where the buildings are collapsing and you need to escape. If you just stand around there nothing actually happens, and you can even return to the area to see that nothing ever actually happened.

Recharges faster, but you don't have health.

@@Paulafan5 This is about the shields though, not the health. Having faster shields is still viewed largely as better than having to run for medkits all the time.

I figure they tested the shields against human weapons, not Covenant energy weapons

@@Bobistheone1 Lore wist it was still the Wrong decision

​@@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701The lore wasn't as big back then and they just wanted to create a fun game.

So, they just convinced a very hypochondriac NPC that germs can be Nazis too xD.

lol Titanfall 1 i got collector's edition cause i thought that Watch w/ the orange glow looked cool. UGH!!! It came a stupid metal case w/ a game code inside the case. ROTF i remember taking a pic & showing everyone. BTW, the watch broke the 1st day i put it on.. The orange light wouldn't turn off & the digital stuffs never worked.. it was a $7 supermarket watch. Funny thing is the CE was $250 iirc.. The game was pretty bad too. The darkzone was almost fun but it wasn't..i quit & never looked back.. Srtill have the box in my baement w/ all the stickers,backpack & misc sh inside it.

What's wrong with eagle?

pls to elaborate what sort of powers did you anticipate to be hugely advantageous but did not quite meet your expectation?

Entropy Zero: 2 has somewhat satisfying closure for episode 2. Although it's not exactly cosure in the sense of The Freeman's story.. I highly recommend it if you're into half-life lore. HL: Alyx has also given me a bit of hope that we'll see some true closure, some day...

I am surprised he didn't mention this.. I remmeber tricking the game to thinking you wer ein combat was the popular way.

Let's be real the answer is just MOST mechanics in gen 1

Or psychic Pokémon are weak against ghosts.

@@skeletorgames8641 It’s not that that’s a lie it’s just that ghost don’t have a way to prove it.

Or the whole “Master Chief is the villain” from the Halo 5 marketing campaign.

well it does technical add a double shot to the original shot

Its genuinely working..whatever you've heard saying otherwise is the Myth 😅

What are you talking about? Ive played the sonic adventure games and ive no idea what your refrencing..

@@micabryant4513 when you get to a loop it’s all scripted. You can walk slowly up to the loop and then the game will shoot you around the loop as if you were running full speed

It was a GoW clone, but it still was a pretty good game. The Conan game was the same thing. Yeah, it wasn't on par with God of War (the real God of War games) but was still a blast to play. Wished both Dante and Conan got sequels where they refined the games.

@@Paulafan5 I wouldn't say "clone", more like it was inspired by GOW, like some others as well, but to me Dante's Inferno had more soul, and overall more colorfull with the fantasy elements, my favorite weapon is the scythe since that game, and the way he use a friggin cross for a projectile weapon is awesome, the sounds and shouts were the best at that time, and just the way they translated the literature to a gory video game is unmatched imo. I really don't understand how it didn't sell well, I was so excited (still) for a sequel...

I never miss a chance to comment when they do! I still hope to see a sequel before I die

The map system in Fallout games is horrible and it's so easy to get lost in vaults, subways, etc.

😂

Sonic 2 on the Genesis made you feel like you were going faster than in most modern games. It's weird how they haven't fixed that (for most games).

I ended up going to the Hell Island with Quistis perma breaked with first strike and for like an hour just used Debilitator to one shot every dragon, behemoth and massive kaiju that crossed me. No more level scaling if you're at max level XD

Best throat in gaming

Ya bird simp 😂

Hey

General kenobi!

Wipppyyy kywayyyy MOFO

Yipppyyy kyyyayyy 😀🤣👍

@@marinapaes2867 you are a bold one

And, how the f_ck do you expect them to implement that without changing the design of the entire channel to accommodate it? You're basically telling them to change their face so it doesn't shine too hard on your eyes. As a dark mode fan too I understand, but still your petition is not stupid, just very unrealistic and a bit selfish considering that most people uses the light theme anyways and whatever device you're using to watch your videos comes with a brightness adjust slider somewhere.

Great game! Would love to see it ported to modern consoles though...

Awesome game… little disturbing but that’s ok. Fun combat and platforming. Crazy story

You're kidding me.

You’re right, it won’t.
