7 Games That Predicted Your Nonsense

if you play games anything like the way we do then you're constantly trying to break them to get to places you're not supposed to be or to skip entire sections through clever workarounds or things you're not supposed to know old damn it that usually works what's even more satisfying than finding something you're not supposed to do or even shouldn't do however is finding that the game developers also predicted that you were going to do it and prepared a response for you they're always one step ahead please enjoy these seven times game developers predicted your nonsense and beware spoilers ahead for the following games [Applause] [Music] [Applause] thank you when Stanley came to a set of two open doors he entered the door on his left this was not the correct way to the meeting room and Stanley knew it perfectly well the king of games that have predicted every single thing you could possibly do is of course the Stanley Parable which has a narrator so omniscient I sometimes have to check behind me to make sure he isn't back there watching me play at this point Stan his obsession with this room boarded on creepy and reflected poorly on his overall personality I imagine it's a thousand times worse if your name is is actually Stanley you might think however that there's no way this all-knowing narrator can predict every possible thing I'm going to do I'm a human being with Free Will and complex impulses and he's just a load of recorded voice lines I bet there's some way I can do something he can't predict to which I say you're welcome to try maybe you're thinking that by breaking the game somehow you'll finally stump old Mr talks a lot back there perhaps there's a way to glitch out of the map surely they won't have predicted you try to do that laughs silence I broke the map at first Stanley assumed he'd broken the map until he heard this narration and realized it was part of the game's design all along ah yes The Stanley Parable knew you would try and do this as well and this is technically one of the game's dozens of endings with you standing in a featureless white void so now that you're here what do you think isn't this a fun and unique place to be and the narrator asking you if you're sick of it yet and want to restart okay I'm over it now what do you think are you sick of this gag yet this is an impasse that to be honest with you I don't think you're going to win there once was a man named Stanley who people considered so manly damn he's good [Music] would you rather fight a hundred chicken-sized zombies or 10 zombie-sized chickens just to be clear you wouldn't have any weapons or armor that's easy I'll take the little tiny little zombies a hundred of them crawling all over you with their tiny hands uh all I need is like a shovel I'm telling you way too easy one of the key reasons Minecraft has been so successful is it's about total freedom the opportunity to go wherever you like and build whatever you want yes even one of those narrative spin-off game series Minecraft story mode on the other hand is almost the exact opposite it's about telling a mostly linear story where the only real choices are how unnecessarily rude you'd like to be to your group of companions sorry Lucas I only have four oh no it's it's all right I'm not that hungry anyway I'll just grab something in the morning or something you were so busy building you forgot to build the most important thing of all a netherite sword now wait a relationship with so much of the events of Minecraft story mode outside of your control you could be forgiven for attempting to express yourself creatively with the small opportunities you have like in episode 2 when Petra gives you the ingredients to build a stone sword at a crafting table one stick plus two stones equals one sword it also equals broken bones if I remember the schoolyard rhyme correctly in spite of this game's focus on Story the crafting table in Minecraft story mode functions just like the one in Minecraft proper and if you know your Minecraft recipes you have a brief Shining Moment to break the rules and build something entirely different yes the stick and two blocks of stone can also be used to create a lever something the developers knew you'd try and they even offer up an achievement called leveraging resources to acknowledge your tomfoolery Petra doesn't sound quite so impressed though and gives you the resources to do it again properly and progress the story see isn't it better when you make it yourself you'll then spend the rest of the game carrying around a seemingly useless lever but in another developer nod to your Ingenuity slash idiocy in episode 4 when the time comes for you to use a lever to open a secret passageway in iber's cottage you've already got the lever handy there's even a bit of unique dialogue for that eventuality to remind you of that one opportunity you had to build something unique in Minecraft story mode we probably just need a lever to power it still have one have one still yet to find to find a structure giant though the search continues nine months ago Joker was cremated I pressed the button and burnt the evil bastard myself and then we waited Gotham braced itself for the inevitable power struggle but it didn't come crime actually fell deep down I knew war was coming I was just waiting for someone to pull the trigger at the start of Batman Arkham Knight you don't play as Batman trying to save Gotham but rather a gcpd cop called officer Owens who has a similarly important Mission trying to eat waffles and bacon without his wife finding out no you know what make it waffles with a side of bacon don't tell my wife whatever you say officer but it's not long until this scene takes a turn for the supernatural as the diner's customers are replaced with terrifying zombie-like creatures officer Owens draws his gun and the game briefly becomes a first person shooter as you try to take down as many of the monsters as you can it's later revealed that this whole sequence of events was the result of scarecrow's fear toxin the monsters were a hallucination and the people you shot were just that regular people as such when you encounter officer Owens later on in a lock-up in the Gotham City Police Department he is distraught and his colleagues are shocked and appalled he ain't going to be able to deliver himself when he finds out what he did in that Diner he's gonna lose his badge for sure Owens is a good cop lives for the job we don't deserve this so maybe you see this and you think to yourself haha I'll just play through again and not shoot anyone then the dialogue will be all wrong that'll show Arkham Knight who's boss well guess again because Arkham Knight has anticipated your every move and if you go through the sequence without shooting anyone the dialogue in the police station is completely different God knows how we got out without shooting anyone the people in that dinosaur each other apart all right Arkham Knight you win this round all right uh Elias has stop fellow stabbed fellow has banished into the darkness beyond the tower door the only sign of him is his blood trail but as you watch the flagstone seem to drink in the blood the cracks glistening red oh Jesus Christ on a stick Abigail don't be such a baby we either head through the door forget that it just ate our Warrior prey is set in an alternate timeline in which JFK wasn't assassinated which has made some pretty big changes to the world for example people now live in beautiful Art Deco space cities and also get regularly murdered by Shadow monsters bad news situation one thing that has remained consistent however is the popularity of Dungeons and Dragons as seen in the side quest treasure hunt in which your character Morgan you has to find four treasure maps given by Abigail Foy to her Telus one role-playing group each of the maps that you find helps you deduce one of the numbers of a four-digit code that will unlock a prize for you in Abigail's room however the code is the same every time you play so what's to stop you from looking it up online and skipping the entire Quest well it turns out that prey developers Arcane Studios know exactly what you'll like and programmed in a contingency for this exact situation if you're playing fair and square and complete the quest properly your reward is a chipset for Morgan suit called the adventurers toolkit this increases your recycler yield gives you a higher critical hit chance with the wrench a more efficient flashlight and faster movement speed when crawling through tight spaces or as Angela puts it in the description everything you need for a successful dungeon Excursion turns out people who play Dungeons and Dragons haven't changed either but if you try to enter the correct combination before you're supposed to know it pray will know that you haven't acquired it by legitimate means and as such there's a different prize waiting for you in Abigail's room [Music] thank you instead of The Adventurous toolkit you receive the decidedly less good game Masters ire a chipset that essentially does the exact opposite reducing your recycler yield nerfing your flashlight and making you slower at crawling through gaps oh and it's permanent that's what you get for not listening to your DM if I get you out of here will you still take me up to the head yes a quick whoa Psychonauts 2 sees you as professional mental Adventurer Raz jumping into people's brainscapes to muck around with their mind only you know nicer than that sounds these brainscapes are all unique to the individual and include such wild and wonderful settings as a casino a psychedelic Rock concert and a cooking show hosted by goat puppets you know normal stuff see if the judges can bear too while it might seem like anything goes in these mental mazes there is one thing that Psychonauts 2 won't abide that's your dirty mouth video game players you can see this in the level crawlers correspondence which is set in an enormous mail sorting room at one point you need to use a massive typewriter to address a letter which you do by pounding out the name of the recipient on the typewriters gigantic keys however Psychonauts 2 knows what you're like and so if you try to write any kind of swear word not only will the game censor it but you'll also receive a dressing down from Ford crawler the person whose mind you're currently in impressive but you haven't reckoned with my extensive vocabulary of rude words Psychonauts Checkmate Developers [Music] this may come as a surprise to those of you who haven't seen it in action but 2014's Goat Simulator from coffee stain Studios isn't actually a realistic simulator of Life as a goat if you have seen it in action you were probably tipped off by all the explosions and ostriches driving cars and also goats in space [Music] I mean I assume this is unrealistic I don't actually know any goats this was in fact a big part of the appeal of goat simulator the fact that it was totally Bonkers unhinged Carnage all the time [Music] the game gave you a big Sandbox full of stuff to smash into blow up and lick and the developers absolutely knew that everyone who played the game would be trying to do as much as possible to break the game in various hilarious ways so much so that the developers added an achievement to Goat Simulator called involuntary QA which you get for crashing the game QA or quality assurance is the Department of a game development Studio that deals with testing the games to make sure they run properly and don't crash and who presumably all got let go the day coffee stained Studios realized that there was just no way they were ever going to exhaustively test a game that allows you to headbutt a train until it explodes so they just made crashing the game an achievement instead bet you wish you'd thought of that other game developers this just keeps getting worse much has already been made of the fact that the Resident Evil 4 remake allows you to skip the opening Village fight which normally ends when the church bell sounds by simply shooting the Bell yourself can't believe we didn't think of that before I'll give you however Resident Evil 4 is also a game that lets you unlock a rocket launcher with unlimited ammo and having been in the Game Dev biz for a while now Capcom knew that with that kind of Firepower players were going to be finding ways to exploit it that's why the Resident Evil 4 remake contains a massive number of Rocket related shortcuts in areas where you'd normally never have access to highly powerful explosives these not only make the game a lot quicker but were clearly anticipated by the developers themselves in that stuff that looks like it should be blow-upable is blow-upable for example at this point in the game down in the mines your path is blocked by a load of debris and you need to retrieve some TNT from deeper in the mine in order to clear it of course this shouldn't be an issue if you have an infinite rocket launcher and clearly Capcom agrees because the game allows you to just blow the barricade apart and Carry On on your Merry way without having to do the whole Dynamite bit how about this bit in the castle where you're trying to get the goat head item and a guy pulls a lever and lowers you down into a room full of enemies not if you've got a rocket launcher foreign you can even use the rocket launcher to significantly weaken the wall that actually usually takes ages to destroy with a wrecking ball and the game never tries to stop you even if it does somewhat undermine the final boss fight in which usually you have to wait until Ada throws you a rocket launcher [Music] not a problem when you brought your own and maybe bring an infinite rocket launcher instead of a pistol on your next mission Leon just saying thanks so much for watching this video about games that predicted your nonsense exactly knew exactly what you're going to do they got you they got you down to a teammate they know exactly what you're up to and I know the same about you I've been studying you and I reckon you're going to click on one of these two videos uh either up here this is a nice video from us or down here is one from outside extra and don't think about trying to prove me wrong by going to watch Mr Beast or someone because I I know you're gonna do it please do it please thank you
