7 Times You Could Go Anywhere But Probably Shouldn’t

they say that every problem is an opportunity for example when some open-world game designers encounter the problem of players trying to explore parts of their game too early they take the opportunity to murder them horribly some games get creative with it concocting in-world explanations for why you're being assassinated by psychic snipers for having the temerity to go exploring others to stick a bunch of nightmare monsters in your path to crunchy senseless here are seven x video games did such things to our horrified dismay please enjoy and beware spoilers ahead for the following games what are you trying to hide games oh I get it with Dark Souls yeah that's fine but I mean that makes sense the read a redemption - I thought we were friends what are you worried about buying something cool and secret I'm a PI our bold pioneer and you can try and stop me games always well what do we have here you must be a new arrival we guess fate of the undead write your number thirds but there's no salvation you'd have done better to rock to the island and asylum but too late now Dark Souls doesn't so much roll out the welcome mat as it does roll up the welcome mat and beat the player over the head with it after a tutorial in which you fight this guy who looks like he already ate seven of you for breakfast you're dumped into the beautiful decaying kingdom of Lordran by a giant crow on arrival in this sprawling open world you're given zero indication of which direction to go first making it as tough a decision as picking which ride to go on first at Disneyland only here every ride is the Haunted Mansion but somehow that's a bad thing if Dark Souls could speak after it had said [ __ ] you buddy it might suggest you go to the right and up the stairway to the undead parish but Dark Souls can't speak and so you as a trembling noob with neither a map nor a waypoint are just as likely to head left into the graveyard which is in both senses of the word a grave error you see the graveyard is full of skeletons which seem designed specifically for noob murder they reform when they're killed because you don't yet have the advanced weaponry you need to destroy them and their weapons do additional bleeding damage if you take more than a couple of hits in quick succession and they can parry your attacks which basically means instant death push past the initial wave of murderous Kellie's though and you'll reach an area free of enemies where you can load up on some really brilliant high-level loot spike it's actually giant skeletons the biggest problem with this skeleton kill box though is that because you've heard dark souls is a legendarily difficult game there is a chance you will keep trying to press on in that direction just assuming that's how difficult the game is that is unless you give up altogether and try a less stressful hobby like I don't know balancing things on top of a sleeping wolf or chainsaw juggling or trying to think of a third stressful thing on the spot because you forgot to finish writing the script it was hard I was hungry black water see how things live place is crawling with pink urchins bounty hunters pictures of Dutch you got a lot of money sitting in that dough and that's where it's gonna remain for now the map in Red Dead Redemption 2 is bigger and more intricate than the plan Dutch van der Linde has which is real and exists you just can't have a look at it because he spilled coffee on it this morning what's more impressive is that the map is actually almost twice as big as you think it is thanks to the inclusion of a huge chunk of the game world from the original Red Dead Redemption including such fan favourite locations as armadillo tumbleweed and thieves landing however you can't explore this huge chunk until the game's epilogue because if you head there during the main game it's going to be less Red Dead Redemption and more lead head explosion because you are 100% getting shot yes shot by the hordes of supernatural bounty hunters who warp into existence with the sole aim of wrecking your should you even think about trying to get into West Elizabeth before the end of the game in the fiction of the game this is because of the ferry heist that the van der Linde gang pulled off in Blackwater before the game began which has made them wanted dead or alive across the entire region from the first game but even that doesn't go far enough towards explaining where all of these West's world s cowboy terminators come from [Music] wait are we in Westworld that explained a lot except the ending of Westworld because even if you sneak into West Elizabeth in the middle of the night having changed your hair wearing clothes you've never worn before and a full face mask these superhuman telepathic bounty hunters know exactly who you are where you are and a comprehensive list of your most vulnerable weak spots starting with a head you can exploit a glitch to explore West Elizabeth and hassles by the all-seeing authorities but really the best course of action is just to stay in the northern part of the map I mean no big deal right it's lovely up here and the people are so friendly why didn't you tell me we had guests coming I to fix myself up night see so friendly you're awake how about that whoa easy there easy you've been out cold a couple of days now why don't you just relax a sec get your bearings at the start of Fallout New Vegas you get shot in the head and left for dead by Chandler Bing just like in that dream I had when I ate a huge cheese plate and fell asleep watching a friend's marathon the game was rigged from the start unlike in that dream however you survived and set your sights on revenge and the glittering city of New Vegas lit up like a Christmas tree in the distance as seen from your starting town of Goodsprings although you don't also then spend hours being chased through a hedge maze made of television static by all your past geography teachers there's a really big cheese plate still don't you even think about trying to head straight for the new Vegas Strip Fallout New Vegas has a lot of tedious tutorial izing it wants you to sit through and it's damn sure going to make you sit through it of course this is an open world game so you can technically just walk to the strip the problem is that the direct route there is overrun with what we in the gaming world called double heart monster bastards chief among these monster bastards are death cause fall outs answer to the question what's more horrible than nuclear winter and winner of world's worst insect 2281 the cazador the cavador meaning hunter is based on a real-life creature called the tarantula hawk spider wasp with its name derived from the four creatures at least like to be trapped in an elevator with their fast unpredictable hunt impacts and their sting does more damage than a giant radscorpion and inflicts three times as much poison damage TLDR kaiser doors are awful and they have one single goal stopping you from going off and exploring during the early part of Fallout New Vegas once you've leveled up a bit and got some decent weapons nothing beats the feeling of satisfaction you get from coming back and [Music] Oh No still monster bastards doing some almond walnuts Rama you're going to build this mansion you tell me about funny guy we're going to get money in America you need money to do anything you're taking me to a back room we need to really see this town Grand Theft Auto for it doesn't have an especially auspicious start you've got no money or your clothing options are terrible and you're living in a PP South heck hole with cousin Roman the empirically worst character in video game history so you'd be forgiven for wanting to go and explore particularly the island of Algonquin based on the real world Manhattan that you can see across the river shining like a well like a cool city full of fast cars fancy clothes and exciting sights to see also not Roman know I'm a fat Rick what do yes thank you the only problem is that Algonquin is an island and the bridges are at the start of the game closed by the police due to a terrorist threat where were those guys when I did this of course you might be thinking this is grand theft auto since when do we listen to the cops I'm just gonna drive right on over there and do a sick flip over their dumb faces to which I say good luck hope you saved recently that's because attempting to cross into our GaN Quin saddles you with an immediate six star wanted level the highest it's possible to get in the game this means you are immediately catapulted to the top of the America's most-wanted list with cop cars helicopters and SWAT teams in armored vehicles all out to take you down for trying to poke your nose into a more interesting part of the map before you're supposed to do so added to this are concrete barriers across the bridge itself making it incredibly difficult to just round your way through without this happening [Music] [Applause] maybe you're thinking hey I'll be sneaky and swim my way across under the cover of darkness twitch I say good plan I give it six stars sadly the only way to explore Algonquin properly is to wait until the right moment in the story to do so which means a lot of tax emissions a lot of cheap tracksuits and yes a lot of Roman I can only wish see you later cousin that's it I'm trying the bridge again one of the cool new features in the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild was that you could complete the game in any order you wanted than the cooking who's hungry but while you technically can head straight to the final boss almost immediately after starting the game you absolutely shouldn't because seriously what's wrong with you have you seen calamity Ganon [Music] okay well you have now so knock it off the recommended way of doing things has you travel around the game world defeating the for divine beasts which are huge mechanical animals that are home to various incarnations of Ganon once these divine beasts are defeated they aim a powerful laser at hyrule castle Ganon tied out with all four Devine lasers in place the final boss battle begins with Ganon having half his health drained making the encounter a much fairer fight also by this point you'll have increased the number of heart containers you have upped your stamina and gotten hold of gear a little more impressive than a pointy stick and some baked apples what else am I supposed to use harsh language this is link we're talking about he's mute if you're determined to go up against Ganon from the get-go however then you have definitely earned that Triforce of courage because you're gonna have a bad time even getting to Ganon will be a struggle as Hyrule Castle is swarming with laser firing guardians and other tough enemies and we re-emphasize you only have three heart containers and a pointy stick [Music] that's not to say it's impossible some speedrunners have managed to finish breath of the wild in under an hour which is kind of missing the point think of all that cooking you've just missed out on honestly I'm kind of furious just thinking about it [Music] well the Warcraft is all about a huge persistent online explorable fantasy world where you can eventually go anywhere except out of your house because you're hooked on world of warcraft now in world of warcraft felwood is a forested Zone on the Eastern continent of Kalimdor it's very green there but not a lush verdant green like Elwynn forest or of a sickly luminous green like radioactive waste or Kermit with a hangover what's more it's full of evil corrupted trees and angry diseased bears and yet Bellwood is immediately adjacent to scenic comparatively low level area ashenvale which lies to the south felwood is so conveniently connected by road that noob sightseers from ashenvale might easily be tempted to hike along a trail that leads right into this nightmare woodland and death if you go into the woods today you're short of a big surprise today's the day the plague bears have their picnic which is a you sandwich [Music] boy that's the kind of thing that could really put you off playing World of Warcraft game developers with open-world games are fond of saying things like you see that mountain over there you can climb that but apply that invitation to climbing the tallest mountain in Skyrim too early in the game and you might just crash and burn harder than a rocket-powered Segway soaked in overproof rum that mountain is called the throat of the world and on its forbidding slopes is high Hrothgar home to an ancient order of monks known as the Greybeards guess what they have on their faces sky guard jewel you need to visit these reclusive Gandalf cosplayers for important story reasons later on but woe betide you the low-level Dragonborn who tries to pay them a premature visit keep an eye out for wolves if you're headed up the path to high Hrothgar you'll find the foot of the mountain guarded by dangerous wildlife who don't want you trampling all over their Mountain but do want to suck the marrow out of your leg bones should you make it past those hungry critters get ready for a close encounter with a frost troll which is a kind of terrifying three-eyed Mountain bouncer made of angry muscle yeah this guy is a sign you're not supposed to be here yet thanks for watching this video about the times the game has tried to block you from going to other places but we're not about that we're about enabling you to go to other places on the internet such as other YouTube videos like this one up here which is from us and it's about horror bathrooms in serious need of CSI so yeah enjoy that sounds tempting doesn't it and down here is one from outside extra which is about minions that were almost too cute to kill I say almost we did kill them
