7 Terrible Hiding Places You Somehow Got Away With: Commenter Edition

some time ago we examined the hiding places in games that never ever should have worked but oh boy turns out we super underestimated how many ludicrous hiding places and methods of concealment video games present because you lot chipped in with plenty more examples of hiding spots that are literally the most obvious things in the whole down world here are your suggestions of dreadful hiding places we should never have gotten away with nothing's more annoying than someone giving away your hiding spot while you're trying to be sneaky like if I were to tell you that Andy's actually behind you right now that frustration gets very very real for anyone who plays quirky RPG undertale has commenter melissa l correctly notes no conveniently shaped lamp from undertale this egregiously terrible hiding spot makes an appearance when you a human character who is on a surreal voyage through a magical underworld beneath the earth's surface bumps into a skeleton called sands who loves practical jokes Sam's is supposed to find and capture stray humans but this lazybones would rather play pranks than do his job the same can't be said for his brother papyrus however which is why sans entreats you to hide behind wait what [Music] yes as luck would have it there's a lamp right there outside in the middle of the road that's the exact size and shape of you hey perhaps it's not as unlikely as it seems I've always thought that my silhouette would be perfect for a fashionable hallway dresser or hat-stand what's weirder than the fact that this lamp fits you down to the pixel is that it actually functions as a hiding place with santa's brother papyrus seemingly having no idea that there's a human hiding so close by this is especially remarkable when sans is doing his level best to blow the whole gig repeatedly encouraging his brother to investigate your perfectly formed hiding spots come on man papyrus is too self-absorbed to get the hint though and so the conveniently shaped lamp proves a surprisingly elegant hiding place as elegant is a tall boy or armoire with this striking silhouette available in oak or cherry wood call five five five three two two six an order now please call I've put everything into this as ash from the first film will tell you the cinema from the alien series is the perfect killing machine it's structural perfection matched only by its facility it's possible he'd have changed his mind if he saw these anymore from alien isolation however because this particular extraterrestrial is a bit thick that's a fact that hasn't escaped the notice of commenter kim yong who says alien isolation lockers seems odd a hyper-intelligent killing machine wouldn't think to look in a Ripley junior sized locker yes how intelligent exactly can this alien race be when it struggles to connect the dots between a loud clanging sound coming from around the corner and these suspiciously person-sized lockers it finds they're [Applause] based on this evidence I reckon if Amanda Ripley had just thought to pack a decent sized lampshade she could have just popped it on her head whenever she heard the alien and made it through the entire game without so much as a scratch either that or Xenomorphs really respect privacy and prefer not to go rooting through other people's lockers without their permission sure their intergalactic killing machines with acid for blood that burst out of people's chests we've got to draw a line somewhere in our previous video we Lampoon the use of hay bales in the Assassin's Creed series but being honest they're far from the most ridiculous hiding place as pointed out by commenter master little Brad Lancers the haystacks in AC are bad but at least they're actually a hiding spot what about sitting on a bench or even better just walking with four other people is another guy were chasing nope our guy was by himself yep long before Jason Bourne and his cocky t-shirts the Assassin's Brotherhood were making use of the people around them to hide in plain sight and by hide in plain sight we mean seriously guards how can you not tell that the guy covered in weaponry isn't a monk yes in the first game monks were the way to sneak into a town helpfully walking a route in and out of the city gates and not doing much else then later in the series you were able to blend in with normal crowds even though you were still carrying the contents of a small armory and were the only one rocking a hood hey don't worry yet Co hoodies will be real big in a few centuries but by far the most ridiculous hiding places in the series are benches whilst being chased by the local fuzz scoot around a corner and park your butt on a bench next to a local and somehow you become totally invisible [Applause] your relaxed demeanor might be something to do with it or the fact that the guards don't think anyone could be so silly as to assume that sitting on a bench in the open is a sensible idea whilst on the run either way you can chill out there watching the world go by and the guards make fools of themselves as they fruitlessly search for you or it could be that the guards don't think to adjust their eye level and it's mainly the lower height doing all the work being shorter than average I can attest to the fact that it can turn you somewhat invisible thing out have you seen Alan today right here not here I'm gonna go steal her biscuits yeah cool that's cool let's do that in the last video we spoke in unflattering terms of one of Link's hiding places a barrel clearly getting away with that has led link to believe that he can put even less effort in in future as evidenced by the behavior in breadth of the wilds noted by commenter the idiotic gamer they say oh hey don't mind me I'm just hiding in a horde of enemies by wearing a hood that looks like them but doesn't cover my face breath of the wild logic my friends now I know what you're thinking a mask doesn't sound like such a bad way of hiding yourself and that's because you haven't seen the masks in question which are cobbled together by kill t'en who is the biggest weirdo in breath of the wild and that's saying something guilt enough ield will make you a monster mask if you bring him certain numbers of monster parts which he uses for I don't know actually pretty sure I don't want to know the point is these monster masks are terrible they've got buttons for eyes obvious visible stitching and look more like the costumes for an elementary school production of breath of the wild than an actual subterfuge tool for the champion of Hyrule and yet amazingly they work some of them don't even cover your face you know link I think you could probably just shout I'm abaca Blin at the top of your voice and still get away with it with the upside do you don't have to spend any time interacting with kill turn there's just something creepy about that guy don't know what it is oh yeah that's it what makes a master of sleight of hand misdirection like how you were so busy watching my hand you didn't notice the Dove that flew out of my jacket what really oh crap and if you want real masters of misdirection and hiding look no further than the realm of Skyrim and to any player who's invested points in the games sneak ability as commentator artorias of the abyss points out standing out in the open in the Elder Scrolls seriously sneak level 100 is absolutely ridiculous to a hilarious degree now look non player characters in Skyrim aren't exactly the brightest around or else they'd know it's not good manners to wheel out an anecdote that everyone's already heard a hundred times I used to be an adventurer like you and I took an arrow in the knee but we're these Dogfish NPCs will really blow your way is in there observation skills or lack thereof invest even to a modest degree in the sneak ability and before you know it you'll be crouched walking up to baddies Bold As Brass with barely enough cover to conceal a sweet roll let alone a hulking great dragon born but still somehow avoiding detection to be fair maybe in Skyrim I test technology hasn't been invented yet and these guys are all just short-sighted yeah that makes sense but that wouldn't explain what happens when you hit sneak level 100 and unlock the Shadow Warrior perk which means that hitting the Crouch button halts combat and makes distant enemies briefly lose track of you giving you a window to escape even when they've literally just seen you still the perfect skill point if you want your stealth skills to take wing okay does anyone have a plastic bag you don't want to make me finish the Worf [Music] when on the run from cops in GTA you have a few options open to you you can outrun them spray your car change your outfit or they low in one of your many safe houses each protagonist has their own place or places to go chill heal up watch TV and avoid police custody as Mel master notes what about the safe houses in the old GTA games even if you have the military looking for you you only have to enter your house and relax for a couple of minutes for them to forget that you ever existed yes in older titles you could avoid handcuffs by breaking for you the police's eyeline and milling about your home but in later games the police actually started to learn how to use doors this meant that the only place that you were still safe from the cops was the one place that they never think to look your bed year the cops in these games aren't very bright treating the police as if they were a monster in their childhood closets GTA protagonists could make themselves safe from a three star wanted level or lower by sleeping under the covers of a safe house bed it's a legal defense that I like to call lalalala man man man no you can't see me lalala lalala and it always worked waking you up a few hours later wiping the slate clean and allowing your character to get back to what they wanted to do which is probably ranking that wanted level right back up again well you can order spree of destroying public property without being well rested and safe from monsters you can't get me at first glance the spy character from Team Fortress 2 appears to be a total master of his craft after all he's got a snappy suit plenty of high-tech gadgetry and a strong European accent CDs done to our colleagues which as far as we care to know is all it takes to be a genius of espionage but there's one aspect in which the spy appears to be seriously phoning it in as commenter undies is only too aware how about the spy class in tf2 they put on a flimsy paper mask and fool literally all of their enemies it's true Keita playing as the slippery spy is deploying your disguise kit which two enemy players makes you totally indistinguishable from a member of their own team this lets you slip amongst their ranks with relative ease running interference and going for stealthy backstab kills with nobody any the wiser which is all well and fine in theory until you encounter a disguised spy on your own team at which point it becomes clear that this brilliant bit of hiding on the spies part is nothing more sophisticated than a thin paper mask with another class's picture printed on it which if it works would make life dramatically simpler you see Luke he went thattaway Thanks despite the spies hokey disguise being the kind of subterfuge any five-year-old with a color printer and an elastic band could pull off he always manages to get away with it and to the enemy appears to blend in seamlessly which is why it's so common in Team Fortress 2 for teammates to perform a spy check which usually involves simply shooting your ally a few times because there's no friendly fire in Team Fortress 2 this is a quick and lethal way of flushing out hidden spies just goes to show that every disguise has its drawbacks big race whatnot I'm Andy I'm not a rally car has been packed now you just need to remember fast it's turn three are you having there clear Pinewood gold so those were some of the hiding places that you suggest it hopefully Mike's okay I mean he knows how to drive right anyway so if you have any other suggestions let us know in the comments below and in the meantime as well there are some other videos so you can check out so we've got one here over one of our videos cutesy games that are actually nightmare dystopias and then our friends over outside Xbox have made one about the the meanest continue screams that were just right anyway I'm gonna get some rest make sure no monsters get me we went climbing here Emma bye subscribe
