Elf origin only kills the bride's betrothed, the groom's betrothed survived. The groom gets to invade the estate, the bride is already there. In all my Dragon Age 2 play throughs, except for that one time where I played as a mage and the wrong sibling died, Bethany Hawke survives. Gray warden or tower mage, Bethany was not a romance option
+Joe Nesvick It's always based on your class--if you're anything but a mage, the warrior brother (I never played as a mage, so I never bothered to learn his name) dies. If you're a mage, Bethany always dies. But...why would Bethany be a romance option?? She's your sister! I mean...you're not THAT noble that you get to romance your sister...and sadly she doesn't appear at all in DA:I.
In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Ezio starts out with Altaïr's armor and weapons (strongest in AC2). Then, after the first mission, every weapon and piece of armor is smashed in a cannon barrage, and Ezio has to start back from nothing (AGAIN) and buy weak weapons and armor so he's not totally defenseless. Basically the same thing happens in Revelations, where he gets surrounded by hundreds of grunts and captured, so I guess they took his armor before attempting to hang him.
So You say AC basicly NFS,In every game You get the best equipment(car),then You have taken away from You about 15 mins later.Man that's why I start to hate Need For Speed series.
@@norbertoszi6812 I started to hate NFS after Mosted Wanted came out Most wanted on PS2 was the last good decent Need For Speed game sadly EA is but a shell of the great company it used to be
@@norbertoszi6812 and I do believe that in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 you dont start off with the best cars in the game same as NFS underground and underground 2 NFS High Stakes and many many MANY more NFS games before EA turned it into a shit show
Every single throw-away piece of technology in a Call of Duty game. "Oh shit we're being over-run! Quick, pull out the massive flying remote controlled doom cannon and wipe out all of our problems! Good job, we're in the clear now! Now put it away and never look at it again that was your one chance!"
I don't understand what Alex Mercer's black-octopus-tentacle powers have to do with the picture of the rather pleasant-looking middle class family man you showed us there, Luke.
OMG! That crack on Cole being drained out of his power and in the water. "Put him in this bag of uncooked rice. He'll be okay in a few days." Hilarious!!! That's super brilliant funny!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I had always found it strange that video games not only give you a taste of real power and take it away, but a lot of times you'll never be that powerful again. I know a challenge is always fun to have, but it's also nice to feel like all that leveling you do is actually having an effect instead of feeling like you're leveling just to remain competent.
Hey, c'mon games, where'd our SWEET POWERS go?! :( Following our round-up of games that start you off with insane abilities then snatch them away, here are your picks of more titles that do EXACTLY THAT. Enjoy!
First my comment is mentioned in an oxbox video,then a few months later my comment is mentioned in an oxtra video :).Why dont you just hire me guys and save us both the trouble :D! *wink* PS:next time you mention my name in a video,emphasize my surname on the first 'i',not the 'e'!Looking forward for the next video!!
What about the end of Resistance 2 when you gain the power to make Chimera explode, until the game ends? Or God of Wars 2 and 3 where Zeus, or the River Styx, steals your power? Or the beginning of Pokemon XD where you're using an overpowered Metagross and Salamence in a fight, only to realize that you're in a simulation? Or when you temporarily got Seymour as a partner against Sinspawn Gui in Final Fantasy X?
03:31 As a Steven Universe fan, I love the fact that you say Alucard's pockets are empty while the screen says he's holding a Lapis Lazuli. Very appropriate!
Honestly I hate it more when a game doesn't give you the best stuff until the final boss and has no post game. Dragon Age II for instance... you don't get all the champion gear from the intro until there's almost nothing left to do. ;-; I wanted to look cool longer than that. D:
Do not worry, Jane. I assure you there are doctors out there who envy what you're doing now. Because even if you don't deliver CPR or inject people with adrenaline, you can bet you're helping them just as well : by giving them a smile, and with it a reason to keep going. Let the guys in white jacket take care of physical health : you are just as good when it comes to maintain what's left of our sanity. What's more, it's a fact that joy helps to keep you alive and well, just like an apple a day. So don't cringe in front of the practitioners, because you just might be one of them... From a medical student, here is a big thank you for those videos you keep giving us. Ciao.
Kupalan As a wise man (?) once said... "I have no idea what weapons Workd War III will be fought with. But World War IV will be fought with tentacles."
Basically any game that starts you out with having all of your abilities / weapons, then takes them away as part of the plot so you have to spend the whole getting them back.
The opening of Chaos Legion. Life is a party and Thanatos is your own personal bouncer, until Delacroix breaks him up into tiny pieces anyway.... Best 10 minutes ever.
It's probably best that you didn't keep that unbelievable power. With great power comes great responsibility, and who wants a game about unbelievable responsibilities? You'd end up spending all of your time making sure everything went as smoothly as possible for your less-capable (if not outright idiotic) companions instead of doing anything fun. It would be just like an escort quest!
Timothy McLean is it bad that I think a game about "with great power comes great responsibility" could actually be REALLY fun if done right? I can't be the only one...
Lord of the Rings Online's High Elf intro springs to mind here. Although you have basic weapons, you are one-shotting orcs, Goblins and Easterlings in the Battle of Dagorlad. After encountering the Witch King, you are returned to Imladris at level 1
A check of the models used also shows that, in the "white lie" Dragon Age 2 origin, Bethany's "described by Varric" as being a lot bustier than she is for the rest of the game.
Dragon Age 2's gameplay generally makes me feel powerful. I love the gameplay, for some reason. It's just so flowing... Doesn't matter that I can't go through darkspawn like toilet paper.
The castlevania one actually had a glitch that you could use to circumvent death jacking all your stuff. You had to finish the intro level a certain way, have your name something special so yo ugot a certain stat upgrade/downgrade, then you had to get thrown straight through deaths room. but the sad thing was that if you ever went back to that room, death would still take your stuff.
It's not a glitch. It's also only available during a luck mode play through. Gotta drop your defense as low as you can and get attacked by a worg so the knock back sends you flying through the room Death is in. If you ever go back he steals your shit.
Somehow I am glad I only read the books. Ciri aint weak, the breeding started hubdreds or thousands of years ago just so that one would be born qith the power/s shes got o_O
Ironically, for the last race, the cars were switched. I used the Mustang to beat the BMW. Then I continued using almost every other car I had because they were all better than the BMW...
what about the force unleashed? Ok you switch characters but you start playing as Darth freakin Vader with maxed abilities and then you are just his apprentice
and u only have a fraction of the combos and u cant even do a double jump. not to mention ur WALKING THE ENTIRE TIME. its badass yeah, but still annoying and slow as fuck.
You forgot little nightmares, where at the end, when six(the girl in the yellow hood) eats the ghost lady and becomes super powerful, but because it was the end, it only lasted like 30 seconds
There was also an Ultima game where you got off the boat in the beginning with SUPER awesome equipment only to be struck by magical lightening and have it all mysteriously vanish FOREVER!
Ah, Symphony of the Night... I had the Collector's Edition of that. Lent it to a mate and he stood on the case and lost the soundtrack CD and art book. Look it up on ebay to see why I was so annoyed.
Pokémon XD: Gale of darkness. You start the game using a salamence one of the strongest and coolest Pokémon at lvl 50 against a metagross. But after using earthquake two times, it turns out to be a simulation and you start with your regular non-dragon lvl 10 eevee
"Save all your green and blue loot! You'll want them for their components once you have your blacksmithing ability high enough to salvage them for parts!"
***** Depends on if you're looking for specific parts. Crit boosting components are quite rare (vs. elemental damage parts) and aren't sold by many vendors so I wanted to save as many of them as I could for my mage/rogue. Besides it's not like you're ever really low on money anyway, given how often unique and legendaries drop.
KoA is an example of why producers don't want to sink too much into a game. The game was great, and sold well. It'd probably have been profitable enough for a sequel if the development cost had been half as much. But it wasn't.
One of the most memorable ones I remember is Kingdom Hearts II when you got the fully leveled twin blades (Final form) for one battle, just long enough to fall in love with how smooth and fun it is...then you aren't Roxas anymore, and Sora has also lost all his abilities from the first game. Thanks Castle Oblivion. Now you spend the rest of the game trying to collect the strong keyblades, build up your drive to use it as long as possible, and get everything you need to use the form well.
tbh it went a step farther for me: kh2 was my first kh game: i got to sora and went "hey i kinda like roxas better, can i use him later instead?" only for my friend to go "ah no, sora's the main character of the series."
Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume The second fight: You sacrifice your best friend but become some sort of immortal killing machine for the rest of that fight. Feels pretty dirty.
A bit old school, but what about KOTOR2? You spend most of the game turning your mates into badass Jedi, only to end up without any of them, & with only a floating tennis ball as your companion option for part of the final level.
“...tethers you to sadistic babysitter, the Watcher (voiced by Mark Hamel)” Dude! That’s more of a blessing than a curse! Who WOULDNT wanna be forced to MARK DANG HAMEL?!
for anyone reading this: heres 2 examples from saints row 3:theres a missile launching device briefcase thing, and a thing that "paints" an area and drops a few missiles, in the missions you first see them (near the start and near the end) it seems really badass and useful but when you use it outside the missions the areas are too large for it to matter
I know these guys only do games, but imagine if they did tv shoes for this question, then staracream would definitely be here ( from the 90s tv show if you didn't know )
I only watched this for SOTN. xD Alucard did start with great items however halfway through the game you are already an overpowered powerhouse stomping through everything anyway.
7 Times You Tasted Incredible Power For Like, Two Minutes... last video of this i paused at a very awkward moment, the dirty minded ones of you all will understand.
Which is why I’m playing her. She just drops the jokes when she’s, say, trying to reassure a crying father about his missing daughter because she’s not a bitch like that.
Battle Group 2. You start with the best ship in the game, but when the terrorists you fight threaten to blow up a passenger plane, you're force to hand over your boat to them. You then have to continue the game with a dinky boat.
What's noteworthy about need for speed is, when you drive the "best car in the game", when you look at the numbers that thing is slow as shit. Even in the very last mission it won't go past 200 km/h. Although your opponent was able to get it to at least 300 just 10 seconds before that when you had to race against it -.-
i never understood why i couldnt upgrade the car either (if its stats arent max anyway) and i ended up sticking to the cars i had before unlocking that car because they where simply better on all areas
No "God of War 2"? You get all the powerse of a god which you worked so hard for in the last game just to be tricked into putting all of it into a magic sword that comes from the sky.
I like how in the original Assassin's Creed trailer, Altair uses a crossbow to dispatch a guard, but they implemented the crossbow in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
1Fastpaced Hm, neat. I guess I was incorrect. Also you didn't need to say it twice, I could understand you the first time. Repeating it makes you sound like a bit of a dick.
DA2 actually does this TWICE, when Varrick retells the bit about confronting Bartrand in Act II. You play as only Varrick and proceed to gib hordes of bandits with Bianca.
It's so annoying, I have to look away during their spoiler list before the video is spoiled. If I know what games are gunna be in your video it takes out all the enjoyment!
