7 Times the Game Wasn’t Angry It Was Just Disappointed

video games exist to entertain players and as such they generally have to stand by and say nothing when their player is acting like a total jackass you know how hard we work on this game piece of you don't even know you have no idea oh this game equipled it's boring you what are you doing playing here then generally damn quiplash even more effective for conveying disapproval than being yelled at though is when a game communicates how it isn't angry with you just disappointed via a stern lecturer a pointed reminder how it's your own time you're wasting or our favorite some good old-fashioned passive aggressiveness so brace yourself for seven games that weren't angry with you they were just disappointed that you can't seem to straighten up and fly right enjoy if you can listen i want to talk to the partners directly make them understand why all of this is happening and that terminal gives me an idea throughout most of the hitman games agent 47's handler is diana the ice cool always in control all-seeing eye who guides you through your missions pointing out opportunities identifying your targets and of course congratulating you on a job well done regardless of how messy the kill was or how you're dressed at the time target next up francesca desantis yeah great job 47 no notes in hitman 3 however there are a few times when diana isn't a constant reassuring voice in your ear one example being the first mission on top of the world set in the world's tallest building in dubai in this mission you're being guided by lucas grey who has a score to settle with shady illuminati style organization providence all right i'm no hacker like olivia but i think you need to pull one of the racks here to gain access to the tournament damn it a silent alarm has been shipped security is on its way hide 47. i mean he's no diana let's put it that way anyway gray asks you to set up a scenario where the two targets are together in the same room so he can facetime them and tell them how much they suck and how much he rules and with the world's greatest assassin under his guidance that's exactly what happens [Music] what's this carl did you do that i certainly did not i have no idea what's going on gentlemen the way this is supposed to play out is you let gray perform his gloating soliloquy before acting as the instrument of his revenge finish it finally stuyvesant and ingram are gone or if you prefer you can just kill the target straight away totally undermining his thoroughly prepared scheme [Music] this is great because the developers clearly anticipated it and as such gray is equipped with several dejected responses that was unexpectedly fast best of all is this one though you can just feel the disappointment coming off him in waves oh okay well done i guess not now gray i'm tea bagging the corpse world's greatest assassin a slightly different take here on video game disappointment from batman arkham knight a game in which batman spends a lot of his time using his fancy remote hacking device to hack such unbreakable passwords as the word biochemistry to get into the airship of a biochemist my dude at least use a number and a special character amateur hour one person who is a bit more secure with their doors is johnny charisma the former singer-turned-joker look-alike who uses an old-fashioned analog keypad to keep batman out this lock is mechanical with no digital components i won't be able to use the remote hacking device luckily for the world's greatest detective the keypad is directly opposite a security camera so he should be able to watch charisma and to the code unluckily however charisma is in the way blocking the correct sequence from view no matter how much x-ray vision you have the solution to this puzzle is to look in the mirror next to johnny charisma where you can see the keypad reflected and figure out the combination of course if you're all zoomed in you might miss this and be trying a variety of other options to get through the door an angle of approach that batman arkham knight has only so much patience for because if you take too long to solve this puzzle batman will get frustrated and then just punch a giant hole in the lock to teach you a lesson about not wasting batman's time this is taking too long which amazingly works why didn't you just do that in the first place batman would have saved us both a lot of effort what has become of this city there used to be laws justice not anymore cram is out of control cats are missing and townspeople are being victimized oh hey who pooped on my porch what's going on with you the most tantalizing kind of puzzle in a video game is one that you can see early on in the game but you don't have the solution to yet then you come back later on fully powered up and armed with the knowledge you need to solve it concrete proof of your progression and oh the game's over [Music] if this too is a worry of yours you might be tempted to look up the solution to puzzles on the internet so that you can reap the rewards early and not have to worry about forgetting and missing out and in most games if you can live with yourself that's a sound strategy with no repercussions not in south park the fractured but whole however which knows exactly what you're up to if you somehow enter a correct code on a keypadlock before you're supposed to have discovered it you mom hey tom brady you want to play the game or do you just want to be known as a smoke cheating the rest of your life try this and you'll be confronted by cartman who is here to give you a stern lecture about your cheating which is apparently like something that happened in american football okay so i guess you just wanted tom brady your way through the whole game what's the matter can't do it on your own involving tom brady anyway he's not angry he's just disappointed you mom is this fun for you tom brady and he'll keep doing it as long as you do you mom gosh i wish i knew anything about american football i bet this is brilliant satire to be fair though cartman it is your password and the password was you mom i didn't exactly have to be a genius to figure that out i've been waiting for you mr winters how do you know my name anyone who is anyone has heard of the likes of you a hero searching for his daughter literally everything in resident evil village is trying to kill you zombies goats kindly old men who suddenly go feral so you'd think if you were to somehow find someone who isn't actively trying to drive a piece of farming equipment through your head in this horrible village you'd want to keep that person on your side right i am but a humble merchant here oh forgive my manners call me the duke now to business weapons ammunition healing salves anything you desire i can provide well the good news is that such a person exists the duke village's resident non-evil merchant who can be found in a variety of cozy looking nooks and alcoves throughout the game ready to sell you supplies upgrade your weapons and even cook up a spot of lunch apologies for the wait here's your share the bad news is that the second some players saw this jovial shopkeeper their minds immediately turned to murder and as such tried to off the duke with every weapon they had to hand a lovely weapon sir somehow possibly because they've been making video games for 42 years capcom saw this coming and as such resident evil village is prepared for your shenanigans sure the duke is capable of passive aggressive praise for the power of your weapons hi that's a lot of destructive power but most of the time he just reacts with a kind of bored amusement as you try your best to murder and kill him to death there's no anger here just the world weary disappointment of a game that 100 knew this was coming tinged with a little concern about how you're going to actually finish the game if you keep using your explosives to try and murder the guy who sells you healing fluid you be careful not to waste your ammunition i appreciate the concern duke oh how about several land mines a lovely weapon sir all right fine launched the life of a space captain isn't just exciting gunfights space makeout and pushing people out of windows you know i've got nothing more to say to you if you shoot me my team i mean that is like 80 85 of it sure but there are other slightly more utilitarian tasks for you to complete if you want to get the most out of mass effect 2 and no i'm not just talking about feeding your space fish although you definitely should do that too i am in fact referring to the side mission that requires you to collect mineral resources for the unc by traveling to distant planets scanning them and then launching probes to extract all their precious natural resources from the comfort of space where you don't have to see any of the unpleasant environmental consequences of your remote interstellar fracking trip in research projects platinum is used to upgrade sniper rifles shotguns and medical equipment launching probe the different planets you visit are graded according to their mineral deposits with rich and good planets providing all the resources you'll need to carry you through the game as such scanning a planet-rated poor is a waste of time fuel and expensive probes unless you want to make a rude and immature joke of course that's because one of the planets you can scan and probe is uranus and due to it being a depleted planet which is even worse than poor literally the only reason you're going to be doing this is so that you can giggle to yourself at the fact that you are probing uranus however mass effect 2 is always one step ahead and has already predicted where your mind will go as edie your ships ai will greet your request to probe uranus with a not angry but disappointed world weary really commander really commander yes edie really who's captain here yeah that's what i thought i'll get to saving the galaxy right after this i [Applause] swear if you're a fan of the sport of formula one in the 1990s you'll be instantly familiar with the commentary of the now sadly departed murray walker a man who has been affectionately described as sounding like his trousers are on fire unbelievable he knocked her out we shouldn't joke he probably accidentally sat down in some flammable race fuel or something having broadcast his first grand prix way back in 1949 murray was so inextricably linked to the sport at the time that there was no question that he'd also appear in the officially licensed formula one video games on the original playstation including this game f197 the result was one of the rare occasions in a racing game where you the driver are getting broadcast commentary pipes directly into your helmet only one more left to go that's a bit distracting sure but the alternative is hearing murray's usually brilliant co-commentator martin brundle reciting the formula one rule book seemingly bored out of his mind with the 107 rule of the past couple of years we're seeing that the tail end teams have had to sharpen up their ad and spend longer making sure they can do competitive time this means that the gap between the qualifying time from the front to the back of the grid is now much less you can't really hear it but i'm pretty sure he mouthed the words help me at the end there the most crushing thing to hear in the middle of a race though is the clear disappointment of formula one's most beloved and respected commentator something that happened specifically if you spun the car 180 degrees and petulantly drove backwards around the circuit it's truly i cannot believe this he's actually driving the wrong way around the circuit carry on charging around the circuit in the wrong direction and poor old murray becomes increasingly incredulous what is he doing in all my years of commentating on formula one i've never seen anything like it by that point he'd been in formula one 48 years if you're wondering exactly how much of an idiot you're being still there's no lasting animosity from old murray start driving sensibly again and he's right back in your corner to the point where he celebrates a successful practice lap like you've just won the world championship yes his times are really coming down i guess he recognizes exactly how hard it is to steer one of these things on an original playstation controller come on man damn you i never better so what now looks like i'm gonna have to postpone my retirement oh man i'm mortgaged up to my eyeballs look i only know one way to make money i'm gonna have to give an old friend a call probably the most interesting thing about grand theft auto 5 was its three protagonists and their wildly differing personalities irascible put upon michael ambitious naive franklin and trevor i need some breakfast yeah these characters and their differences is what drove the story and whether or not they'll be able to work together to pull off the big score is a big part of what keeps the game compelling of course if you want to undermine all that you can just drive to michael's house and start firing rockets at it this is grand theft auto so naturally rockstar expects the players to try and screw with every single aspect of the game and of course they anticipated this happening which is why when you start hammering michael's house with heavy artillery he sends you a peeved text message asking you if it is in fact you firing rockets at his house heavy disappointed dad vibes here you can keep doing it and if you keep it up you might even get a slightly perturbed phone call from michael once again asking if you wouldn't mind knocking off the barrage of ordnance you've unleashed on his home where his family lives stop firing rockets at my house yeah i'm kind of busy right now michael call me back once i finish stacking these cars up in your driveway and setting them on fire thank you so much for watching this video about the seven times games weren't angry with you they were just disappointed if you could like the video that would super help us out and if you aren't already
