Andy, you have been around Jane long enough to know that turning your enemies into inside out monsters, a pile of goo or a horrific skeleton is the best thing to do. Just remember, you need to stay on Jane's GOOD but "evil" side to avoid a similar fate. All hail Jane, both beautiful but terrifying to behold!
Outside Xtra What about dishonored it has a section where you can see thought time also skyrim you go back in time to learn a shout and there is a shout that slows time whenever you want
No mention of Dishonored 2? Where you can travel back in time, break a balcony that somebody worked so hard to fix, just so you can climb up it in the future?
Well, technically that use of time travel can have really good effects as you can knock out the owner of the mansion, stopping him from walking in on the ritual that drove him to insanity, and improving the lives of everyone on the island because he'll still be around later to help keep the island out of dark times. But, yeah. I'd be lying if I said I didn't use the time piece to knock down the balcony, knock out guards and dogs, steal a bunch of stuff, and other general hooliganism.
Honestly if I had time travel powers, investing in sure companies is the best thing. Quantum Break guy had it so right. Forget about saving the world or anything that involves getting up off the couch.
Seems like such work :/ *I'd* use my powers to do all my school work. After I freeze time, that is. Then when I'm done, I unfreeze time, kick back, and relax! :D ... Though I should probably just use it to cheat... Would save even more energy
apple, google, facebook, twitter, youtube, Verizon, att, Disney, Toyota, Nissan Microsoft, AMD, Nvidia, Foxconn, LG, I'd be investing in them ALL and set my myself up. maybe thats why I don't have time travel powers
How about Skyrim? Problem with an all powerful planet eating dragon?... Oh just use an Elder scroll to send it forward in time several hundred years. Now it's someone else's problem! 😉
@@Lord_Phoenix95 Isn't that the point? They thought sending him adrift in time would solve everything, based on whatever little they knew about the scroll.
It was also a complete last resort. They quickly learned that they were no match for Alduin and used the scroll, saving reality itself until the last dragonborn could give him a well deserved thrashing.
To be fair, a 5:1 payoff for guessing a 3-digit number (1000:1 odds) is an unconscionably huge house advantage and whoever runs that lottery DESERVES to be ripped off by time-traveling Link.
I normally don't bother to play the lottery, there's two chests with 100 rupees in town that are super easy to get to. I pick them up, deposit them, and leave town. If you're abandoning a dungeon run to pick up 50 rupees, no wonder people whine about not having time to explore and find things.
Honestly I wish someone time traveled to warn people how cringey the life is strange games are haha Not just because don'tnod are the laziest publishers ever with extremely janky games, but oh man is that writing and dialogue so awful hahah The only good thing to come out of those are Adam from YMS playing them and ripping on them
Regarding Majora's mask, worse than scanning the lottery is scanning the banker. When you deposit rupees he updates your balance with invisible ink on your hand. When you go back in time, the rupees are no longer in his bank, but you can still withdraw them throwing his whole accounts out of balance.
And here I was just using it for saving the world. Wait no, I tell a lie, once I turned the clock back and then spent 3 days killing things and racing around as a Goron before starting over again and actually doing things.
The mission with the time glove in Titanfall 2 was my favorite mission in the game, I loved disappearing and reappearing and killing everyone in only executions, I also loved how their bodies showed up in the future, and it must have been terrifying from their point of view
I would use time travel purely to mess with future historians. Etch "Detective Pikachu is great" into a wall at Pompeii, right an amazingly accurate book of prophecy and keep it safe in some old bank or something. Lot's of little things that they just couldn't explain.
@@tomgymer7719 but pomp civilians would wonder where a mysterious etching comes from and would possibly put many writings about the alien language (or picture Idk Which would be eteched) and could spread word or etching of the etching attempting to find where it originates from. Also... *Write* lol
Professor Hubert Farnsworth : You mustn't interfere with the past. Don't do anything that affects anything. Unless it turns out that you were supposed to do it; in which case, for the love of God, don't not do it!
If Jane was going to experiment with time travel, it would be cause a Kitten Apocalypse, where in the year 2019 the super fluffy Council of Feline would govern every nation in the world
What about in Dishonored 2, where saving Stilton by knocking him out results in a whole other timeline cropping up and poor Billie lurk ends up split between realities
The Prince of Persia series centers around time travel and time traveling powers, would love to see it in a commenters edition. Shout out to POP "Sands of Time" it's ending has you travelling back to the start of the game erasing everything you've done!
@@sethlester9966 Oddly enough, I had a harder time against kailena, but yeah, it took many trials to figure out the Dahaka's attacks. There's actually a trick to avoiding his tenticulous attacks. I didn't learn until after beating him.
Second Vote for Commenter edition. Especially when the cannonical ending of the 2nd game completely removes the already trunciated 1st game and then the 3rd game happens because the first game didn't happen at all. Yup that definately made sense.
@@sethlester9966 Particularly annoying was the fact that some of the backtracking in the game was glitched (I don't know if it ever got patched out), with a save point past the point of no return on the glitched path, so it was possible to not just miss out on fighting the Dahaka, but on being able to finish the game at all... On the other hand, the Prince isn't really that irresponsible with his time powers - he uses them to stay alive while he attempts to undo a city-destroying (possibly world-ending) cataclysm, and expose the evil vizier whose machinations led to the cataclysm; he uses them to try to find a way to not die as a result of his world-saving hijinks; and he uses them to prevent a similar cataclysm from unfolding in the altered timeline. So far from being irresponsible with them is he, that he ultimately chooses to accept an imperfect timeline rather than risk meddling further, so I'm not sold on him belonging on this list...
@@theevokeruser2356 I think you're right. It just gets me excited when they do...and it always feels like the first as it is always overlooked. Still one of the best endings in any FPS.
@@MarcJaxon That depends on which ending you chose. An excellent game with actually unique gameplay mechanics. Not only the TMD, but also the unique firearms. Like being able to bend your Bullets to make them hit the targets.
What, no Timesplitters? Here's where I'd elaborate on why Timesplitters and especially Timesplitters 2 deserved to be on the list, but I was too young when I played them so all I remember is some vague irresponsible use of time. Anyway I should just look up Timesplitters lol
@@boa_firebrand Don't forget about where you intentionally create a paradox by rewinding 10 mins into the past to ASSIST YOURSELF IN A BOSS FIGHT! God I love Timesplitters.
@@KatotsuSama Don’t forget the main theme where Jacob Crow is trying to become immortal by creating a time machine to give to his younger self, creating the TineSplitters.
The storm wasn’t caused by Max’s powers. Sped up, maybe. But the freaky weather and beached whales happened in the alternate timeline where Chloe was paralyzed, where that reality’s Max had never used her powers.
Max only went back in time to possess herself. Didn't physically alter the timeline at that point, which doesn't explain how she still had that ability while possessing herself. Bit of a time loophole?
Though she didn't travel back deliberately, Max prevented William (Chloe's Dad) from using the car that day so he didn't die in an accident. Which later led to William buying Chloe a car in the future which caused her car accident (irony). Max had to go back in time again to when she was younger to let William die. The storm is probably slowed down in the alternate timeline because Max hadn't used her powers as much, but she still screwed around with time. I've always taken it that Max always had her powers (because she could use them as her younger self) but only discovered it and figured out how to use it when Chloe gets shot.
It was though. Every time Max used her powers to mess with time it creates a small ripple, that is usually small and will not have much of an impact, like throwing a small pebble into a stream. Yeah there will be a bit of ripples but the path of the stream isn't effected by this. However when she goes for the larger changes, like when she first saved Chloe's life, it created a larger change that couldn't be ignored, so change out the pebble for a large rock. The stream will now divert to a degree, causing different things to happen that would not have happened in the original timeline. The more large scale events that Max changes the more the stream is diverted and pushed to this point where the storm is a certainty. This is of course an extreme over simplification of this particular view of time travel.
How about responsible uses of time powers? SPOILER INCOMING!!! In Dishonored 2 you can save Aramis Stilton from going insane by knocking him out before the ceremony that bring Delilah back from the void. This improves everything and everyone's lives in the Dust District.
Undertale absolutely. I mean, how many times have you gone back just because you forgot you had a pacifist run going and you just kill that one random enemy?
Undertale encourages player to abuse "time travel" only to question it later why... eventually you end up going back after pacifist route to genocide just out curiousity or game assums it was curiousity... it's same as building a time machine just so you could go back in time to stop yourself making it.
Imagine having the power to completely stop time for only 7 seconds and using that time to find a road roller Also Flowey in Undertale uses his time/reality changing powers just to continuously kill you and then even messes that up
Not time travel. Just because the concept of saving is an in-universe mechanic doesn't make it different than every other game where you can just undo everything by reloading an old save or just resetting and not saving.
Nanosaur was everything to childhood me, and I've never seen it brought up *anywhere* online or offline since those days. You get an insane amount of internet points for bringing it up and introducing thousands to the glory of Nanosaur! :D
I didn't know other people knew what Nanosaur was even, anytime I've tried to describe it to anyone they acted like I'd confused some weird fever dream for memories
South Park, Fractured But Whole: Traversing time to bring your past self into the present (an anomaly that usually results in the universe trying to kill the copy in fiction) just so you can beat up a 6th grader.
Or Morgan Freeman. But you'll need the extra help against him considering that it's *MORGAN FREEMAN* who is essentially an elder god in disguise. How else do you explain that sultry sexy voice and ability to gain freckles for explaining things? :P
The Bend Time power from Dishonored definitely deserves a place here. Sure, you can just use it to kill guys or escape detection, but the number of ways it can be used to just troll enemies is incredible.
Woah. Where is Timeshift? You can pause time to get around enemies, fast forward time to...also get around enemies, and somehow reverse time to get up previously deadly air shafts.
Lots of examples in Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Going back in time to prevent Stark-Fujikawa taking over Alchemex. Having original Spidey destroy a massive robot before it’s built to help Spidey 2099. Fixing an elevator...
Anyone else instantly jump to remembering Ellen's adorable Pikachu dance at the music used in the Bioshock Infinite section? 🤗 Edit: Man I miss Ellen, hope her recovery is going well.🤞
2:15 "although, if we do end up fixing history then technically none of the bad stuff we did ever happen" FGO JP player: the regret is still inside us u know.
How about Command&Conquer: Red Alert 3? The Soviets travelled back in time and accidentally killed Albert Einstein, thereby depriving themselves of their best weapon, i.e nuclear missiles.
All of the Red Alert games were based around time travel and it unpredictable consequences, any of them could have ended up on that list ... ok who went back in time and erased them from it? :P
I was going to try to make a witty comment regarding inside out monsters, loopholes and paradoxes but I thought about it to much and now my brain hurts. (Time travels confusing!)
Zelda Ocarina of Time. Use it to skip through the hardships of Puberty. In all honesty I would use it to win the lottery and be set for life. That's it.
If I had a time machine I would definitely use it to be the first sub for the outside Xbox/Xtra channels. Either that or something more responsible, probably just the first one though.
I feel Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time had some form of irresponsible use of time travel. I know Nefarious was planning on rewinding time to kill Ratchet after he supposedly did so. But the aliens gifted time travel abused it so much more. I don’t know a specific area but there must have been something.
Dastvan True. I was just thinking about a comment he said before his boss fight. “Once I’m through killing you, I think I will rewind time... so I can do it again. And again! AND AGAIN!”
iirc those aliens almost broke the damn universe, so the 'great clock' needed to be built to repair all the damaging time effects - basically those planet minigames clank does.
Dragon Age: Inquisition mage path: Travel to the future, pick up a bunch of stuff, learn vital intelligence. Travel back, collapse the timeline and keep the stuff! Win-win!
using a time manipulation device, i'd crank my personal speed to 5x if ever i get into street fights, that'll mess up the enemy real good (maybe even develop enough speed to run up a building and drop something heavy below), i imagine it would look like the fight scene in the movie immortals (2011), where the greek gods fought the titans at hyperspeed, crushing their skulls while still dropping midair. also, i'd do the following: -spend 14days at a resort when its just a day in the real world; -crank myself up 3x faster and finish a 3hr exam in just 1hr, possibly even maximize perfecting it up to 9hrs; -do anything urgent in half the expected time, earn the respect of people important to me; -with time manipulation devices, it is very very possible to mass produce crops and fruits and veggies and farm animals at very fast speeds, and then store perishable items at ultra-low speeds; imagine being able to store meats in refs set to 1% normal speed and retrieving them only decades later, start entertaining zero-spoilage; -skip the coronavirus lockdown and jump back in only when its all done, a few months of inactivity gone in just a minute. originally i thought of spending my life only in the 3 months of summer, then skip on to the next summer 9mos later, skip altogether the gloomy parts of the year, watch everybody else grow older while i seemingly-stay younger longer in the real world, hyper-extend my life a few more decades into the future than normal, watch how everything we did turns out; -if ever there's anything that needs waiting, merely slowing down my speed will seemingly make the world go faster, and the waiting time shorter, the exact opposite of beating the deadline for something urgent. the device needs to be wearable, you run the risk of staying at the altered speed forever if you drop the device on account its not worn on your body, like if its in the form of a smartphone or something handheld, that's a really stupid design, at least place it in a backpack (something clinging to your body) if its really big.
Zinyak kidnapping Jane Austin, and later the Saints going on a vacation in Saints Row IV. The Saints adventures are only shown in pictures, but they're hilarious.
Why is the prince of persia NOT on this list? Like How the prince did a big rewind to undo the mistake of unleashing a sand-zombie apocalypse. Then runnig from responsibility from the Time guardian (Dahaka) and taking a woman from the past into the present... which leads to an invasion of his home.
Not a game example, but in the anime movie "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" the titular character uses the titular power... to extend a karaoke party for several hours. (The film is well worth a watch btw!)
Ah, Nanosaur. I only found out the name a few months ago - back in the day it was simply That One Game On The School Computer. Don't forget to jump on the pterodactyl... going over the height limit gives you all weapons and tons of ammo.
That game as a whole was a pretty 'meh' shooter typical of the time, but damn was that mechanic good. I'd love to see someone put a little more story and level design behind some mechanics like that, maybe metroidvania the whole thing...
How about Chrono Trigger? Head over to the Snail Stop in Porre, 1000AD, buy a Spiced Jerky for 9,900G, pop over to Porre 600AD and sell it to the Housewife in the Mayor's House for 10,000G, netting you a grand total of 100G. You can repeat this over and over again.
>most irresponsible uses of time travel >not including the Red Alert series (each start basically by a time travel action gone totally wrong) Outside Xtra you need to play more pc games.
How about a game called Life where you can rewind a clock to avoid spending valuable time points on Improving your "academics" stat and hope your tutorial guardians don't realize that you have tuned the local timepiece so they'll grant you the break you've be asking for ages ? It MIGHT cause them to be late to the office, stay up till 4am , thinking that it was only 6 pm, but sweet, sweet games, right ?
and weirdly the dude who can go backwards through time and basically possess people to make an army of super powered bad guys still lost somehow. then again, seemingly sora was only able to win thanks to him cheating too...
To be fair, 50 rupees for a lottery is a ripoff, especially at 10 rupees a ticket. You can go outside and make 50 rupees in a couple minutes by cutting the grass. What's more scummy is the fact that you're taking *other people's rupees* when you withdraw rupees in the past, because you haven't actually deposited anything in that timeline.
Got time travel. Mike: Goes back and slaps himself. Honestly, wouldn't we all go and slap our younger selves? I still haven't finished Quantum Break, maybe I'll go back and do it soon. Got stuck on the boss fight with what's his name (Little Fingers from GoT lol).
Titanfall 2, punching people in the back of the head. It's an obvious one. Dont know why you missed it, and stopped at 6 games. In unrelated news, did you know that RU-vid comments are unaffected by chronal flux, and cant be changed by time travel?
In what has to be the most and least responsible use of time travel all in one, the protagonists of Heroes Reborn Gemini and Heroes Reborn Enigma use time travel to enact a 4d plan that keeps a serum that would allow the villain to destroy everything out of his hands but also create a stable timeloop that causes a nuclear meltdown at the facility they are being experimented on resulting on their efforts being lost from time.
I love that piano music when the spoiler titles are being shown. I try to just drum my fingers along with it and I can't keep up! People can be amazing!
Day of the Tentacle. The entire game is a giant "What never to do when you get your hands on a time machine" where you mess with the American founding fathers in all kinds of bad ways. I am old...
I would travel back to September 2016 and retrieve the suitcase containing some of my most prized possessions before it got stolen... Alternatively, back to about 2006 or so to get my gran’s excellent recipes before she died. I’ve been trying to emulate her mince sauce for nine years now...
You do know that if they would travel back in time and prevented the destruction of earth then they would never get the time traveling machine to be able to get back to save the world so it would be destroyed and they then could travel back ... you get the point :) Also Zinyak already messed with the history by kidnaping his favoured writer and probably doing a lot more back there (and then :P).
@@kallasantysanty6092 Yeah, true. They'd have to more Doctor Who it. Like, maybe teleport the remaining people off the earth, so they still think everyone is killed, so they'd still go back and save everyone.
I know it had only come out a couple months before this video, but I would've loved to see the team joke about Outer Wilds shenanigans (destroying the fabric of space time either by creating duplicates of your scout or meeting yourself, telling poor Chert that the sun is about to go supernova and sending them in a downward spiral, half of all conversations with Gabbro)
Thanks for the tip about Robert Hazard. His version is good in its own right, and proves that well-written lyrics can provide performers very different perspectives to deliver. He deserved much better than obscurity.
I don't think that fits, because all these uses, though irresponsible, actually worked Take notes, Dio Brando (seriously is everyone in JoJo named after an ubiquitous 80s pop culture reference)
Not a video game example, but Phillip J. "I'm my own Grandpa" Fry from Futurama deserves a mention: goes back in time, gets his grandfather killed, sleeps with his grandmother (resulting in the conception of his father), and partially as a result of this, has "special" brainwaves that make him invisible to a race of telepathic aliens (in other words, he is literally stupid to a cosmically significant degree).
Cortez from timesplitters . The man is constantly messing around whiles trying to "fix" the timeline which includes meeting up with himself despite the warning it could cause a paradox or Jacob Crow who used his time travel an inadvertently created a bunch of Time destroying mutants
I feel absolutely no shame on using time travel to get a 5 to 1 return on something that only has a 1 in 1000 chance of success. Those one-sided odds would make even a casino owner blush.
I played Nanosuar 2 in school. Still have it on an old laptop. Actually, I think I had the demo or the mode was easy, don't remember. None of the things shot at us, and one day, they did. Even had raptors constantly trying to get us.
