6 Unsolved Videogame Mysteries That Keep Us Awake at Night

everyone loves a videogame mystery it's why fan theories are so popular and accurate remember that time we thought the arkham knight was a robot controlled by murderous asylum boss Quincy sharp actually wait don't do that but though many of the big mysteries we've ever pondered have been solved there are countless smaller questions that will forever go unanswered consider these video game mysteries that keep us awake at night and beware spoilers for the following one of the weirder offshoots of the temple our plan for world domination Abstergo entertainment is a division of Abstergo dedicated making thrilling adventure games in historical settings based on animus memories animus gives you the chance to gain within the past apparently the idea is to use video games to shape the public consciousness to the Templars liking with that being the case why do they keep using genetic memories like Aveline degrom prey and Edward Kenway that portray the assassins as cool badasses and the Templars as Craven scumbags supposedly the in universe games are heavily censored to remove references to assassin's Templars and the first civilization but players are still going to come away thinking Edward Kenway was great and Captain Bart Roberts was a duplicitous jerk not at all mana sheet an old wolf like me deserves every ounce of blood draws for a shadowy organization that has been secretly manipulating the world for hundreds of years you're not very good at this are you it's not like there aren't cool Templars to either just look at the hero of Assassin's Creed rogue shape Patrick Cormac who decides the assassins are a bunch of jerks all by himself why not make a game about him Kyle art I will not let this happen again or you know just make it up real life game developer Ubisoft managed to make historically set games without access to her oh my god it was Bravo teams helicopter nobody was in it but strangely most of the equipment was still there however we soon discovered why stars is the Raccoon City Police Department sent to investigate the incident at the Spencer mansion in the first Resident Evil game we continued our search for the other members and it turned into a nightmare star stands for a special tactics and rescue service though you assume they worked backwards from the cool acronym so basically they're the RCP DS equivalent of a SWAT team if you need reminding SWAT teams generally look like this which makes it baffling how stars members are allowed to dress however they want apparently they're all in different colors for a start with Chris in green berries styling out this burgundy number and their pilots Brad in a yellow vest possibly a life jacket so bright enemies can see him from next week maybe they got a three for to deal on G leis and assorted colors Jill meanwhile with her blue top shoulder armor and beret looks like she's wandered in from a completely different unit while captain Wesker looks like he's arrived straight from winning third place in a Val Kilmer look-alike contest maybe Bravo Team do a better job of looking like an actual team nope if anything they're less uniformed Rebecca showed up for work in pedal pushers a headband in a choker like it's casual Friday then there's Forrest who didn't do by Cross Fit to wear a shirt with sleeves on it guns out guns out am i right Forrest its Forrest oh my god if I would hazard a guess why stars uniform policy is so haphazard it's at the RCPD is massively corrupt and the unit is led by an evil umbrella lieutenant who wants them to fight zombies together combat data so no one actually cared what they were wearing when they got eaten by a giant snake it's not just any ordinary snake take my word for SH the only reason they had any kind of policy is cuz they knew what Chris would wear otherwise a recent episode of kidnap survivor sitcom the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt reminded me of the enduring mystery at the heart of one of history's most iconic video games who are these ghosts why are they chasing pac-man what did he do to them who were blinky inky pinky and Clyde before they became ghosts were those their people names I mean blinky inky and pinky sound like spectral nicknames to me but come on Clyde Clyde who were you Clyde what do you want go into the light if you were to speculate on the sinister backstory of the pac-man angry ghost maze you might read between the lines that gaming's most beloved yellow circle is being pursued by the vengeful spirits of his I don't know former victims prove me wrong Namco okay so we totally get that dr. Robotnik is an environment hating industrialists with a keen interest in robotics but given he's quoted as having a genius-level intellect an IQ of 300 why does he go to the trouble of trapping animals inside his robots instead of just say killing the animals and making some robots hey I'm not saying I endorse either of those plans my theory is that although Robotnik is a gifted mechanical engineering roboticist he's a terrible AI programmer meaning he has all these cool robot bodies that has dumb as rocks instead of working out how to create a learning machine he just crams a rabbit in there or something still even when there's a genius piloting his creations it rarely goes to plan what chance does a confused squirrel have and do not get me started on his elaborate machine to turn beans into robot beans why robot beans would taste awful and break your teeth where exactly did you get that doctorate doctor was it easy doctorates for u.com you can secure your family's future by reserving a spot in a state-of-the-art underground vault from vault M that's right Bob act now and your family can wait out the horrors of nuclear devastation volt tech is the company from fallout which developed project safehouse in collaboration with the US government this was a program designed to protect the American population from nuclear holocaust within specifically designed fallout shelters known as vaults except that was never the plan you'd need over 400,000 volts to protect the entire population of the United States and volt tech built only 122 their actual purpose according to volt egg was to secretly study pre-selected groups of people to see how they would react to isolation and confinement and how well they would repopulate the world after nuclear annihilation okay I guess but then the mystery is how vault Tech's experiments are almost invariably designed with the express purpose of making everyone go mad and kill each other these experiments included a vault where residents were forced to needlessly sacrifice each other a vault constantly pumped full of hallucinogenic drugs a vault where world-class musicians were reprogrammed into killing machines and a vault where for a laugh they just let in some radiation the mystery is what did the vault tech bosses overseeing all this dubious science report back to the US government how everyone went mad and killed each other and now there are no people left was anybody happy with those findings wake up what where am I at the end of Mass Effect 3 in your final confrontation with a holographic infant called the catalyst you're presented with three options to deal with the spacefaring techno squids called the Reapers destroy the Reapers control the Reapers or how about just fusing all organic and synthetic life in the galaxy into a new exciting hybrid form you heard me and your energy to the crucibles everything you are will be absorbed and then sent out the chain reaction will combine our synthetic and organic life into a new framework a new DNA which is of course Sheppard's ultimate endgame to put some of his DNA into everything in the galaxy since this is the final evolution of life but we need each other to make it happen but in practice this so-called synthesis ending amounts to a beam of green light that destroys the Citadel and smashes up all the mass relays in the process of spreading Sheppard's space DNA to all corners of the Milky Way and the Reapers are like cool by meanwhile Joker gets glowing eyes and skin stuff and you're kind of left with the impression he and Edie and now somehow genetically compatible the mystery is what is the green beam and how does it work the catalyst has access to some super next-level precursor technology sure but really how is this giant laser pointer supposed to transmogrify the building blocks of life itself throughout the entire galaxy if it's all a bit too complicated or a bit too vague and magical there's always the other option now that I do understand those were the videogame mysteries that have been keeping us up at night if you've got mysteries of your own that you'd like to add put them in the comments below and another thing that keeps us up at night is that you are not clicking on the videos underneath me or if you are being kept up at night by something else a good way of getting around that insomnia is to watch video that makes it sound boring don't do that but if you are at a loose end and it's late at night maybe you could watch one of these videos before you go to sleep and that is what they're good for so over there there's a show the week you can watch those videos there's a good there's our weekly magazine show about video games and jokes and underneath me now is a playlist of more videos like this one but not this one but I like this so if you enjoyed this and you want to see more of that kind of thing should click under there cuz there's over 200 of them so you can enjoy that anyway thanks for watching this video and goodbye
