The 2000's was a great time for gaming, and many had huge surprise moments. Here are some beloved crazy moments from that great era. Subscribe for more: ru-vid.com?su...
As a player of every Assassins Creed game (including 3DS, PSP and Switch versions) I agree 100% with the above comments. Sadly the newer games have their "ohhh shit!" moment in the trailers 😩😩
I thought odyssey was kinda oh shit with the ending unlocking a side mission leading to more hidden main missions with you fighting Isu defence mechanisms to destroy the gate of Atlantis before Abstergo can claim its power and dominate the world. Also revealing that kassandra ending up living for like 2.5 millennia throughout every ac game. Also the prophecy that order must be maintained by an endless war (which ends up becoming assassins vs Templar’s) and that kassandra has to spend her life maintaining the balance. I low key hope kassandra puppeteers the assassins whilst a second immortal who she works alongside sets up the Templar’s in Valhalla
@@tommyhickin4669 no offence but having Kassandra secretly puppeteering the war all this time is probably the worst idea I've heard. The ending of Odyssey was trying to mimic the ending of Revelations but it fails because these characters, Layla, Kassandra, they don't have the same development or personal connection that Desmond, Ezio and Altair had, they weren't even good characters to begin with (I don't care about novel Kassandra) so giving Kassandra of all people what is arguably the most important role in the series would be insulting to say the least. Odyssey had ideas but their execution was terrible and quite frankly ludicrous at some points.
They don't talk to each other. It's just a representation, Desmond isn't there he is in Ezio because he's reliving it. They just show what's happening in Ezio's head and he knows about him and his name because of the apple
@@alwynmalan1 the mistake I made was that I tried to go right from Origins to Odyssey. The game play styles are very similar so I got a bit bored of Oddyssey. I’ll def go back to it. Just needed a break.
The bioshock twist is obviously great but honestly one of my favorite video game moments ever has to be when you first see the city of rapture in the elevator. That was definitely holy shit worthy.
The introduction to the flood in Halo: CE completely changed how the game felt mechanically and emotionally. I wouldn't rate it it high on the list but I feel its worth mentioning.
The best thing is that Bungie and Microsoft never teased it in any way, which made its introduction even more of a shock. I'd also say Halo in general has a lot of amazing moments. One of my favorites is the Forward Unto Dawn landing in Halo 3, seeing the ship approaching from orbit, flying in over your head and blowing away everything that isn't nailed down with epic music to go along with the spectacle in front of you... I wish more games did stuff like that in gameplay and not in cutscenes, because the sense of scale and weight in that scene was all around amazing. Even seeing the Infinity, a 6 KILOMETER long ship, crashing in Halo 4 didn't feel nearly as impactful. It looked cool, sure, but it didn't FEEL as cool.
The very first moment when you get in the warthog on the second mission and see just how vast the land is. I think that was my first childhood tear of joy 😂
In the last of us when Henry shoots himself after his brother turns. I literally sat there in disbelief for like 5 minutes trying to process what happened.
The cutscenes in The Last Of Us were top notch. They really got you involved. You could relate to many of the people and understand their sorrow and their decisions. It all made perfect sense. It was super realistic
Mass Effect 2's prologue. The Normandy getting obliterated within minutes by the Collectors. Shepherd being flung into a planet's atmosphere as he/she loses consciousness from asphyxia. It really set the tone of the game.
@@Werhgrjdtvrykum i played the ME2 right after ive completed the first, and that moment hit me because all that ive done with the ship and the crew and sudendly everything blows up :O
I remember playing Bioshock the first time. My girlfriend was watching and was like "why is your character just running and doing everything that voice says...?" I was like it's a game you always go for the missions. FML SHE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG :p.
And the thing was, right about when I got to that point, I was really starting to wonder, "Why am I doing all of this? What was the point?" The we get the big reveal...
To be fair, she probably would have said the same thing in regards to just about any game... “why you doing everything they tell you?” She just got lucky...
I remember playing fallout 3 for the first time, I was left speechless for about 5 minutes running around all giddy and excited about playing my first fallout game, been in love with the series ever since
All of these were awesome, but the moment in KOTOR when Revan takes off their mask and it's you. Then it replays all of the moments you should have caught the first time, it really got me when I was younger.
I remember going into bioshock 100% blind, I didn't know it was set in a underwater city! I had just heard "it's good" and bought it from a store without looking into it at all, so just seeing rapture for the first time absolutely floored me, I was like "Hoooly shit what!?" and was so excited to explore, expecting a lavish welcome when instead I suddenly encountered the splicers and was like "oh fuck". gahhh it was all so amazing, I doubt few got to experience it like I did and I treasure those memories.
unfortunately the controversy it stirred up ruined the mystique for me, it would have been amazing to go in not knowing that was gonna happen im kind of envious of you
I didnt know about the controversy around the game when it came out and played this mission blind. Was different but its just a game so I was okay with it. Was great fighting in America tho
I had played Postal, Carmageddon and Fallout before so it didnt really have the shock value for me, I just found it dumb and realized the "twist ending" before it happened. It ruined an otherwise great game.
Boring, that scene had literately 0 shock value to me. i find it funny how we play grand theft auto and going on a mass killing spree, blowing up cars and ambulances and shit, but "no russian" apparently is a bit too much. bunch of pansies.
Unfortunately my buddy spoiled that for me... He's always been an xbox guy and I was talking about how awesome the new GOW was (probably not even halfway through the game at that point) and he said "yeah I watched a bunch of highlights online... pretty cool that you eventually get the blades of chaos back" and I just blankly stared at him until he said "damn you haven't gotten to that part yet have you...."
As a long time fan of this channel I don't know if anyone's gonna see this comment. But this is probably their best top 10 they ever made. Not only did they have every banger from the 2 thousands. Is but the explanations are exactly spot on.
Not to mention the moment where the almost useless Battle Rifle is actually effective here all while the Combat Pistol is suddenly useless against the infectious horde.
SchoolTerrorist somehow someway you gotta find a way to play most wanted and underground 1 & 2. I literally stopped playing nfs games after those because it was never the same.
@@imchaotix5450 ugh, I tired. I tried so hard to get into the new ones ( Rivals, NFS 2015, and Payback) but everything after Most Wanted and Carbon just didn't have the same atmosphere to it. I did play pro Street and had a ton of fun playing that one even though it was a lot different. But the new ones just fell flat. Nothing to do with the mechanics as far as i can tell but idk.
My there favorite are (in no order)... 1. Halo CE: The first encounter with the Flood 2. KOTOR: The Revan reveal. "Recognize that you were once the Dark Lord..." 3. Mass Effect: Speaking with Sovereign. "You exist beacause we allow it, and you will end becasue we demand it."
Man, I forgot what it was like the first time you encounter the Flood in Halo CE. I got the xbox with Halo CE day one after saving up for a long time, and read so much about it before that day. So I thought I knew everything about it, and it just blew my teenage mind back then. Definitely should have made the list.
All of these! On ME3 you felt so helpless with the rest of your crew, I still cant play the game again after i did the first time. The Revan reveal should have made #1 on this list. and the flood... no words !!
I literally still get goosebumps when talking to sovereign! I play the original me trilogy at least once every couple or months.... usually 3 times a year xD and yes I play them all from start to finish again and again xD xD (yes I know I'm weird xD)
Man, Bioshock's ending - I remember being spellbound and savoring one of the best moments in my years of playing video games. MGS2 was a mindfuck and quite enjoyable. Batman Arkham Asylum was amazing in so many ways. Great list.
KOTOR end was the biggest “WTF???” moment when you find out you’re actually Revan the whole time, one of the darkest sith in the galaxy, especially when your first play through is “light side” heavy the whole game, which is lengthy… thinking “I’m a good solid Jedi” only to find out NO ACTUALLY YOURE NOT. that was crazy!!! Surprised knights of the old republic wasn’t mentioned in this video…
Yeah, I was really expecting to see that in this video. IMO, none of these holy shit moments compare to that reveal. Really dropped the ball not including that.
It was amazing!! We done it with smiles on our faces!.. weird that at the time it didnt feel that bad tbh, obviously it was but just seemed to be part of a game not a big thing, but then again you only hear of these complaints, never actually first hand lol
My 2 biggest wtf moments are probably first in Max Payne with the blood trail and the baby crying when you OD and the ending of the first COD Blackops when you find out you were hallucinating half the game and you are a sleeper agent who even assassinated JFK!
Same here, played Max Payne when I was 15 and it was mind blowing, real psychological thriller. And yeah, you're right Blops was a great story as well. I remember taking a half day from work and getting the game on my way home. I know the multiplayer is really where the game's focus was, but the storyline was well delivered and riveting
I said holy sh*t when i realised Ezio thought he was gonna be special but i bet he got well depressed when he realised he was just a messenger for desmond but i love how he gets over the fact and begins to search for altairs tomb and literally talks to desmond knowing he is watching thats some great holy sh*t moments right there
@Charlie Vetsworth compared to other assasins creed games i agree but this was one of my first assasins creed games and i was pretty young when i played it, so i wasnt too critical of games. I think it was the first open world game i ever finished lol
@Charlie Vetsworth When i first played AC3 i was thinking the same thing but my opinion has changed. Conor wasnt a wise man nor a good man. He was a naive child that hunted down the templars for a goal that is not only impossible to achive, but also has made it clear several times that he is too stubborn to see the world as it is. I would say every single templar in this game is fantastic since this is the only AC game where good and bad does not exist.
Fallout 3 really hit the nail on the head for what it was going for. I remember exploring that school near the first vault and just being in awe, totally feeling like you could sorta sus out what happened pre nuke as you explore the ruins. I didn't really get that feeling in the next installments, maybe it's just because 3 desensitized me lol
@@SimonRobeyns I wanted to like Fallout 4 so bad. I don't even know what makes it suck, well, the level up system is a little weird, kinda cool that you're supposed to level your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats but it's super time consuming(like, I was going for a perk that takes 3 more agility... so i'd get it in 4 levels lol), outpost building is fun but so tedious... They added so many cool features that totally miss the mark.
@@fukukyun78 Exactly, it was possibly the game i was hyped about the most, ever. The dialogue was lame and bland and boring, the whole story was just sad and the whole map just felt like they didn't try anything interesting or new or expanded on the previous installment and yeah, these settlements.. god it sucked.
@@fukukyun78 It was just dumbed down and not gritty or dark or anything. It just seemed like some cartooned version and even the backstory and vaults and stuff you could find just didn't cut it for the Fallout standard. I know what you mean. I played bout 30 hours before I realized "why am I even playing..? Because I want to or because I thought I wanted to?" Then I threw it away and never picked it up since. I heard the far harbour expac wasn't so bad but I can't be bothered to find out.
that game is literal bullshit... 0 fun. 100% grind for nothing. only to get a parameter on a database from 1 to 99/120. I cant believe i have a couple skills on 99 xD that was soo fuckin hard.
I remember starting this game cos a couple of my school friends told me its awesome. I spent two weeks mining and farming materials and realised i had to cut my losses and quit right away. Lucky i did, my friends were like addicts. Its pulls you in to the grind somehow.
Yeah, people always give it crap because like the Star war prequels it contridicted a lot of the Bioshock lore, but omfg was the story SOOO much better written then what 2k did to Borderlands 3. I don't care what anyone says, both Bioshock infinite and the Star Wars prequels will always have a spot in my heart. I don't trust 2k with a fourth Bioshock after they ruined the storyline of Borderlands 3. Heard that 2K and Disney?! I want George Lucas and Kevin Levine back, I don't CARE if they have ZERO knowledge about Science or lore consistency! I Just want GOOD story telling again!
This is true. Years ago after i finished the game, my mind was so fucked by that game and i had to like read the entire synopsis again and also watch people's theories about the game.
The most 'holy cake!" Moment i had in the 2000s was when I found out that Tien and Yamcha could do a fusion dance and become "Tiencha"(i think), in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2. Damn miss those older DBZ games.
Thank you for including CoD4!!!! I feel as if the newer generation jumped in at like MW2/3 or Black Ops and they completely ignore CoD4, such a dope game!
adippful he was looking for Atreus’ mother Faye bcs she was the last giant that kept interfering with Odins plans so Odin sent his sons/nephews to find her and not realizing that she was in a leather pouch the entire time.
Fighting the pope was sick. But Ezio has had many cool moments.. For me breaking into the Vatican was one that I will never forget. But ya in general the alternate history stuff in AC has always been cool.. like Black Beard in AC4
I remember I was like 13 when I first played fallout three... my friend bought the game for me as a gift and the first time we got to the vault door was just so inspiring and just wow.. me and that friend spent every weekend for a solid 2 years playing nothing but fallout 3 .. thanks for reminding me of those fond times
When I first played Fallout 3, I just jumped into the game without reading or watching anything about it really. So after the first minutes I thought that the game would take place in the underground vault only, because of the contaminated ouside etc... ... well can you imagine my reaction when the game let me step out into a huge f***ing open world? :D
OverLord 1 and 2. Having 30 Gremlins rip apart a room in 10 seconds and come back to hand you treasure while repeating master. Something satisfying about that .
In leagacy of Kain, when you realize that you and all your vampire brothers used to be the vampire hunters that fought against kain and he made you and your brothers vampires just to spite them
Bro, unveiling the "Truth" puzzles in AC2 is one of my fondest gaming memories. My friends and I were so hyped up about it when the game released. Trying to guess what it was, coming up with crazy theories. Felt like unraveling a real conspiracy.
meeting up with my friend directly after we'd both played the Minerva/Desmond part was one of the most excited i've ever talked about video games unforgettable game
Lol no mo i played that mission beat it 2nd try when i was little played it ladt month. Spent hours i mean hours couldnt do it i used slow motion cheat to slow everything...
Whats ingrained into my brain is. Wood needed mlord. More wood needed sire. Cant place that there.... Cant place that there. ( yes i know because this fucking mom holding a baby wont move) Granary stocks are running low sire Stockpiles full mlord
Having played the whole series apart from Valhalla (want to finish Odyssey first) the biggest "holy shit!' moment for me is still the reveal of Damascus in the original. It's perfectly designed, as you ride along the narrow, winding canyon that limits your view, then you emerge, and at the bottom of the hill is this HUGE in-game city, easily the biggest digital city I had ever seen at the time. The scale was breathtaking, but also the beauty of it, and the knowledge that the whole thing would be explorable. AC2 refined the gameplay a lot and is definitely the better overall experience, but nothing else has come close to that reveal for me.
the impact and mind boggling nature of the first one is all but completely lost now thanks to what they've done with the series even just the initial leadup to the game's launch with jade raymond doing what she could to give info but still withhold everything; man what a wild time that was
I'm sorry but Shepard's betrayal from MW2 should've been nr1! In my ENTIRE LIFE I have never experienced a moment that just made me want to scream WTF more than that moment!
Eh. It's a cool moment, but "HOLY SHIT"? I disagree. I mean the game is literally called Titanfall, you're already going in with the expectation to see some giant mechs.
That dreadful cinematic on which Arthas returns to Lordaeron after being in Northrend... Engrained in my brain, marked me and started my love for this stories. It pains me to see what has become of such a moment, now he was controlled and all that bullshit. The story and what obsession can do to you and your mind was a powerful message in Arthas' story.
In FO3, if you're wearing sunglasses when you leave the vault, you don't get the bloom. I love that, in the startup video for the game, it tells you to do this (of course, I doubt anyone did their first time). That's a great detail.
@@leonkennedy7831 it's that type of existential horror that leaves you hollow inside. At the end of the story you have been tricked to believe this is the end and that's terrifying, very few stories are like that but one comes to mind would be Ridley Scott's Alien
Damn i remember playing through D day - it was one of the best games and experiences i have ever had. Probably because at that time Privat Ryan has been big on TV and I watched it like 200x times.
Most of the reveals in Bioshock Infinite hit me. I already felt fond of Elizabeth, she felt so real, but when you find out who she really is... I couldn't stop playing, I genuinely felt protective, like she was my daughter and I had to make sure she was alright in the end.
The moment in portal 2 where you see the moon and realise why they were going on about moon dust uses so much. Also in Sleeping dogs - the whole Jackie Ma story (rescuing him first then, ...well..)
I agree with "Would you kindly' and while outside of the time frame I'd put coming out of the sewers in Oblivion right up there with coming out of the Vault in Fallout 3
I think Jak & Daxter was the very first game I got with the ps2 along with Sly Cooper and Gran Turismo 3, and I got each of the sequels the very next Christmas or birthday that they released -- The bigger holy shit for me was actually finally 100%'ing the first game well after I had already experienced the entire trilogy, only to realize that the setup for the sequel was teased in the true ending cinematic and I never knew it.
@@Th3Raz96 Same with literally all of that except Grand Turismo. I was a Need For Speed kid (HP2 then Underground). Now that I think about it my life has gone downhill since third grade.
That first moment you come across an alien in the woods. When you go behind the hill and theres a ship,like an actual ship on the mountain in the woods and then this alien shows up, stuns you and leaves while leaving everything covered in snow.
What about Spec Ops: The Line? That one is HOLY SH*T the whole game through, but the final revelation was awesome. The best thing about it is that no one expected such a level of storytelling. We all thought it was just another dumb shooter.
@@only1dirtymouf oh hell yes. I still remember that rush. I don't know why, but I was filled with some sort of uncertainty before smashing right into that hay pile for the first time.
The Witcher 3 had some really good moments. Stand out something was the Red Baron mission in the very beginning. I had my girlfriend come and rewatch it with me because it was so crazy and intense. She didn't get it but it stood out a lot to me
Bio shock was something else. You have arguably the greatest intro ever with the plane crash, only to have an amazing reveal of rapture follow next. Truly amazing game
