7 Simple Quests That Turned Out Unbelievably Violent

it's a tough job being a video game hero when you're not being killed 1 million times you're having to kill 1 million people to stop yourself being killed 1 million times so it's a nice change of pace when you get offered up a pleasant peaceful sounding side quest in which you'll go somewhere do something simple and no one will die right wrong stick around for seven simple quests that turned out unbelievably violent despite our best efforts enjoy and beware spoilers for The Following [Music] [Applause] [Music] games ladies and gentlemen most honorable citizens of the hallowed City of novigrad Welcome a typical day for geralt of Rivia Wier extraordinaire involves hacking dozens of monsters to pieces and then getting possessed by a horny ghost yes it is I geralt a Witcher heartfelt thanks for your hospitality I adore weddings the brides especially so fragrant so tasty I could righto I'm sure we'll all have a splendid time so in The Witcher 3 wild Hunt when a side mission comes along that offers the prospect of a bit of calm refined culture you'd imagine geralt would be happy to grab it with both Gore soaked gauntlets the quest called the play is the thing is part of a scheme by geralt to draw a shape-shifting Doppler out of hiding and involves staging a new play from scratch after much set up the play itself starts promisingly with a good cast and a hot crowd and as the princess renowned artist beloved Queen of the stage Arena [Music] reard but then you're put in charge and if you mess things up geralt will absolutely tank the play with terrible dialogue I kill monsters for pleasure and and no man is my measure and acting more wooden than the stage he's standing on maybe he hid in the cellar or a barrel of beer in fact the play can be so bad and so inflammatory that it causes a riot to break out a riot that you have to get involved in blasphemers ought to teach him respect for the faith in which you end up killing about five people fingers crossed that when the critics write geralt absolutely killed last night people just think that means he was really funny Mrs Thornhill snap watch the birdie pretend to throttle me like you did on that on that poster you did yeah okay well that would be my pleasure like that huh yeah maybe something like this or like that huh you like that that's enough you like that being set as it is in a parody of Los Angeles California Grand Theft Auto 5 is full of the trappings of the movie business such as premieres I may be aerous old husband but I'm a husband with a premere at the Oriental Theater on Pinewood Boulevard Paparazzi oh [ __ ] here they come go go go lose them and of course spy cars with ejector seats what happened when I pressed [Music] this on a much smaller scale than that though are the movie fans two of whom Trevor can meet on his travels through the city just ignore us yes don't mind us Pretend We're not here okay this is Nigel and Mrs Thornhill British tourists who are visiting Vinewood and who ask Trevor to help them collect some souvenirs from their favorite actors and musicians while they're in town uh what do you need just a few Vine boot souvenirs for my museum look look look at this map I mean a lot of these places have famous people living in them and some that are just hanging about to which you're probably thinking okay I know Trevor Phillips is involved but this can't possibly turn violent right maybe pick up some autographs buy some memorabilia on eBay steal someone's swimming trunks sure hey he just took my clothes but of course this is a Grand Theft Auto game so before long you're punching out rock stars shooting film directors on a golf course sport scientists kidnapping actors you've kidnapped a major movie star okay and then leaving them in cars parked on the train tracks no I guess that's one way to make sure their memorabilia goes up in value come on Sir try to remember what really happened at Sylvia Saloon back in 76 just a lot of bunk play just a lot of bunk it's not bunk Mr Callaway sir it's history while on the surface Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan may seem to be a downhome rough and tumble cowboy come on Pretty Boy pretty boy you're kidding me pretty boy his handwritten Journal portrays a more thoughtful literary mind with some notable artistic talent if not the best subject matter so when you start the Red Dead Redemption side quest the noblest of men and a woman given to you by Theodore Levan a writer who asks you to help him with his book you'd be forgiven for thinking that this is maybe the turning over of a new Leaf for Arthur and a new career awaits in the more Gentile literary world this book I've got to make a thing of it and well there's a whole list of gunfighters Legends every last one the work it transpires requires Arthur to track down a series of legendary Gunslingers to get quotes for a book being written about one Jim boy Callaway a shst of some Renown himself fastest left-handed draw that ever Drew breath he once killed 14 men in a fight at luzy Halla so off you Trot to chat to these former Gunslingers full of excitement at your new jour istic career only to discover that most of the Gunslingers are still angry and violent and that your encounters quickly devolve into Arthur shooting the other Gunslinger or chasing them across a train and shooting the other Gunslinger or wow okay exploding a load of pig manure over the other Gunslinger and then she shooting them even the one Gunslinger you don't have to shoot black Bell ends up roping you into mowing down wave after wave of bounty hunters leaving you with a body count higher than that of some small Wars lady I can't see you much in need of my help that sweet you're lucky I'm all to cap it all off when you return with the material for the book callway makes you bring him a state Marshall who he then murders God damn you so that's 30 or 40 people dead just so someone could write a book about Jim boy Callaway still at least the story has a happy ending what's troubling you sir I am used to people challenging my ideas in fact I live for it the cut and thrust of Spirited debate lately however attacks against my rep reputation have taken a darker turn Charles Darwin was a naturalist known for his book On the Origin of Species which made him the father of evolutionary theory so you'd have thought any missions involving him in the Victorian London set Assassin's Creed Syndicate would be sober scientific Affairs maybe Darwin would ask you to track down rare animal species so he could study them or perhaps you'd need to sneakily liberate some of his samples from The Voyage of the beagle now sequestered away in some auster Museum nope Instead try gassing everyone in a building and then blowing it up violently threatening rival naturalist Richard Owen I wag you your life Mr Owen but you know something I'm ping you I do not know a thing I swear even the simple task of heading to the railway station to meet one of Darwin's colleagues descends into kidnapping just Act Naturally Ambush leading to a deadly street ball looks like trouble is brewing Dr Schwarz never got and of course murder when it turns out the colleague was in fact an impostor now to take this fossil to Darwin it's I wonder Darwin found any time to do any naturalism at all with all this going [Music] on hey [Music] unlike many games on this list there are side missions in Yakuza zero that are extremely chill and nonviolent such as the one where you pretend to be someone's boyfriend or the one where you help a small boy purchase an adult magazine from a vending machine all calm wholesome fun so when you're approached in the street to help American pop sensation Miracle Johnson film his new music video you've got no reason to suspect that this could be anything other than a fun and exciting chance to be a part of entertainment history with a character who definitely isn't supposed to be Michael Jackson it quickly becomes apparent however that there's a problem with the shoot in that Miracle Johnson is insisting on his video being zombie themed and that all the zombies attack him as hard as they possibly can so it feels real that's where you come in as your talents are needed to protect miracle from the zombies so that he can focus on the video as requested by the video's director Steven uh spining the director of the hit film Indian jeans Checkmate lawyers what follows is this knockoff MJ moonwalking his way down ten kaichi Street while you absolutely batter hordes of poor extras in zombie makeup who probably didn't expect to have their face stamped on when they left the house this [Music] morning and say what you like about Miracle Johnson's music video ideas but I think there's probably a reason why most music videos don't involve people getting their heads slammed in car doors after about 3 minutes of breathtaking violence Johnson reaches the end of the street and SPI sorry spining announces that he's just shot the greatest music video of all time which may be true but I think it's probably going to get the most AirPlay in courtrooms when all these mangled extras sue for assault so what's your plan is it better than me murdering my way through every wannabe killer in town it is I'm taking you to my buddies Hank and Claw they designed the wed app they can take you off it you sure yeah they're cool they brought the gig e to murder For Hire well it started as a dating app but the market was so crowded you know I'm glad they found their Niche the new Saints Row is full of all kind of murder Mayhem and destruction but here's a side quest that gets violent in a way you're probably not expecting called Millennial this side mission is one of the ones offered by The Wanted app which sees you taking out targets for quick cash however when you reach the Dead Drop spot for this Mission your call is answered not by some Gruff gangster type but by a sweet sounding old woman hello I hear you want someone taken out is this Randy what no Randy you sound sick are you taking your vitamins this isn't Randy I'm calling about The Wanted gig you posted it seems this woman has had her credit card stolen and would like to confront the perpetrator so you go and pick her up and drive her to the pers location where presumably you'll give them a talking to about not committing credit card fraud that miscreant just used my credit card over at the mall in Marine Del Lago so let's put the pedal to the metal yes ma'am or at least that's what you think's going to happen in reality as soon as you get eyes on the target the aonomus millennial who is dressed like the rich Texan from The Simpsons the grandma domes him herself there he is take that you godamn Millennial good Lord Boomer let that be a lesson kids be nice to your elders because apparently they're packing heat there's this ship whose crew had to ditch mid-flight I I presume it's some kind of luxury liner because it's supposedly got an impressive collection of booze on it I know outter space is unpredictable but you'd think going for a drink is the sort of thing you could do without having to kill double digit numbers of people and yet good luck doing that in bethesda's Spacey RPG Starfield because that's exactly what you're asked to do in the side mission Shore bet when Lizzy the owner of an alpha Centurion Dive Bar asks you to zoom off to an abandoned armor transport to retrieve a case of rarified booze for her I want you to go to the ship find the best stuff on board and bring it to me so far so Interstellar door Dash delivery driver but when you arrive to the transport in question it becomes clear that this isn't going to be a simple booze run that's because a the Ghost Ship in question is having some major technical problems such that the artificial gravity is cycling on and off at regular intervals and B it's absolutely teeming with space pirates who we will have to systematically murder in a series of floaty Zerg shootouts you easy and also a bunch of alpha Centurion boozers can get hammered on slightly more expensive space liquor what's wrong with a good oldfashioned juice box full of beer I mean apart from all the obvious things here you earned this now you ever need to blow away some memories you come back and see me
