I think the Shadow Moses level of MGS4 deserves a mention. It's a haunting moment for Snake and the player as we return to where it all started in the first MGS. From the soundtrack welling into these harrowing but beautiful songs, to the hidden flashbacks hitting you like PTSD episodes and the bossfight redux of Sniper Wolf followed by a literal mech battle between Metal Gear Rex and Metal Gear Ray, piloted by Snake and Liquid respectively, it's just such an incredible mission that celebrates everything that makes MGS great. It's painful, it's bittersweet, it's ridiculous, it's funny, it's sad and it's emotional. It's the love letter to the fans in a game that's meant to be serviceable at an insane degree. It's also the penultimate chapter, just before all hell breaks loose and Snake's story comes to a heartbreaking finale.

Fallout lore is so fucking crazy, that its believable, the truth is stranger than fiction.

Not putting Red dead redemption 2 really made me question your hole list, and when i saw Inside i died a little

Vault 112 is actually a really good vault just if your overseer is sick it is not

HiFi Rush had a certain charm about it. I had some fun on my play through but wasnt particularly fond of the game in general. Granted I dont much like rhythm games so i found those elements more annoying than anything else. It's a testament to the game that I still mostly enjoyed my experience with it tho.

5:45 I had to stop there. Since when do developers have to respect YOUR time? When and how did that become a thing in the gaming community? I do not even understand this. And why are your modern gamer brains totally trapped inside this cage that only swings joyfully when you are "rewarded". I never had this idea that games need to reward me to make me play more. Games were simply fun and they still are. But now games must reward you in order for you to want to spend more time with it. So I see that is this new kind of replay value you all complain about now. Wow. This makes you seem so hollow. Are all of you like that? Empty, Hollow. So you need other things or even people to show you what value means?

What I also think has become a thing that creates problems for you as "modern day gamers" is the idea about environmental story telling. Because most of the time there is no need for that as such and it also may only exist in your own mind. It is not that developers have no interest to implement it. You start to lack imagination. And with that this aspect gets lost. Only games bound through nostalgia to your inner child can still do that magic trick. That you need to learn to let go.

I can not say modern games waste my time. Why is that? Easy answer. I'm one of those people that know what they like to play. I know my genres and I can barely be misdirected or irritated. I barely listen to "big" youtubers who might have certain contracts to fulfill. I also have no fanboy issues as an adult gamer. For me all of this is so easy. Once you get your life going, get the shit sorted out, the obligations place where they belong, you find enjoyment in gaming. And to be honest there is no point in plugging in my old Playstation, this old grey CD eating git, while believing this is all I ever need until I die. I like to have things mixed up. Old games from the NES and Atari days. The so called 16bit era. Like everything in style and genres available at any moment. Maybe you become boxed in by your own standards and realize how things are not filling your time gaps as they should. Switch up your gear. Change your mindset. Play something else. Uh, there might be a problem. You might lack orientation points to focus on. I see many of you in twenty years being bitter 40somethings telling me, a then old 60+ git, how bad gaming has been for the last twenty years and I would not even know what to respond to such nonsense.

It really gets under my skin. Every single gaming trailer all the comments just negative, tearing the games down. Why? I truly dont understand. Why not just be positive and if you dont like a game move on.

Totally agree on all Cyberpunk 77 comments ❤❤❤ One love. Like Morrowind ❤❤❤❤ĺ

It feels very weird not a single Nintendo Game was represented. Like I know they aren't the biggest in scale, but beating Bowser or Ganon for the first time was pretty memorable for anyone.

there's actually a section in the DLC for Callisto Protocol where you have to hack a terminal to acquire a powerful hammer. and as you begin hacking you can see enemies to pulling open the door which automatically forces the player to hack faster or he's toasted. that moment you really feel like a badass

they just get worse as the video goes on

5 hours is way too low. I think one player games should at least be 15-20 hours minimum.

I really think that Shadow of the Colossus should be on this list. Great video tho

Vault 69 must of been the best 😂

I respect your choice but for lots of people including me, the Scenes From A Marriage quest in Heart of Stone DLC is the most legendary quest in TW3: WH. It captures the creepy vibe, challenging boss fight, and one of the most heart wrenching tragedy in the installment. We will remember you, Iris von Everec.

25:45 people would just create their own entertainment lol. the idea that people would go crazy without AV media is like something an 8 year old would think of.

Lol…the taint…

Lord of the Rings Online ???

NFSMW is the goat😂

Not Including *Uncharted* 's A thief's End and The Lost Legacy in this list is a crime.

unfortunately he didn't mention SOMA. I think it was the best game I ever played, the plot is very deep and philosophical, makes you think twice before copying files on your computer

Try finger but hole has been in ds games of old.

my husband and i are currently playing it takes 2 together and its like we unlocked a new level in our marriage.

AC: Odyssey is stuck with me forever

I think i agree in a sense. It seems that life is about self discipline. Moderation leads to higher quality with less quantity, such as dieting, research, and so on. However, it seems democracy lends to self gratification, a lack of moderation, which leads to more quantity at the inevitable expense of quality. Games are obese now, a whole lot of fat or unnecessary content that hides the underlying good stuff or muscle. Personality plays a role too. I've always preferred something simple and sweet rather than something long and detailed. Perhaps the key is short games with small scale but clear and quality vision. Maybe this is what made the earlier games so great. BTW, you sound very similar to BigFry. Subscribed!

Fallout new Vegas started outside a vault as well tho

Fun fact about 4/20 date decode (and yes, the numbers station thing in FO is real): 4/20 is Hitler's (notorious fascist communista) birthday.

"I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one"

On lead in children's things: It was just in late 80s, McDonald's had two separate recalls on Disney themed cups, because of high lead content paint used.

When I noticed the different teddy bears, what it tells me is which companion to bring. Cop hat, Preston Garvey (local, minuteman). Fedora, Nick (old detective). Sexy pose, Cait (she's always talkin' smack about shagging.). Snap brim or newspapers, Piper (obvious dress attire and job). Military hat, Danse (should be obvious, why).

I was also suspicious of Nick, as he knew Dogmeat without having met him, before. Claims he doesn't know Jack about the Institute. I don't believe him. Either Institute, or Railroad tied...either way, sneaky schitt.

I hate dogmeat. I don't trust it. The ONLY dog in the wastelands, and I stumble upon it as I pop out of a vault. Please....robodog, all day. Spy. I leave him at home.

When I first playes the game, Gary Vault freaked me tf out, with that constant creepy chanting of his name, and the gore everywhere. Truly the most horrific dive of the series, imo.

1:04:19 Vault 114 was actually never completed. The bombs fell before the vault was fully constructed.

Just one correction, It was the G.E.C.K that exploded in vault 94 which in turn caused the mire due to the vault having various species of plants and seeds etc. Survivors from Harpers ferry were suspicious of the friendly nature of the vault dwellers and proceeded to kill them and shoot the G.E.C.K thinking it a mind control device. Great video and you have just gained a sub 👍

I have a two hour drive to my nearest vault.

Cyberpunk has absolutely no right being on this list.

Jesus Christ; 2.2M views as of this comment. Looks like you hit a trendy topic with this one 😅 I followed you before it was cool

( My idea of a Vault from Vault-Tec ) Although I wouldn't be surprised if someone had made up a pre nuke vault. Name prototype vault 000 They already have people in one of their vaults and its a reality tv show. They need to stay in the vault for 1 year to win 2 mil, and through out the tv show they receive calls from judges to do weird games. To get food from the food holding area, and they get calls from family members. When all of a sudden an alarm goes off and rooms they didnt have access to all unlock. After the alarm stop on their big tv it it gives out chances of survival for your loved ones. It also states they now must survive... But it state this may be all part of the game. Will you go outside? If people leave they will receive a portion of the winning money. That it ( not really a game to play but mire lore wise )

I just guessed it was the warpers 37:50

My list: 1. Silent Hills 2 2. Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater 3. Halo trilogy 4. Mass Effect trilogy 5. Half Life 2 6. World of Warcraft 7. The Last Of Us 8. The Wind Waker 9. Minecraft 10. Red Dead Redemption 2 11. Elden Ring 12. Skyrim 13. Witcher 3

With my unpopular dislike of Shrek, I legit thought you were being fr when you were talking about the cult...

I stopped watching when you said $ 70,00 for a 5 hour game is worth it, sorry dude no matter how good the game is you gotta be some rich previleged guy to say this shit, if modern games are wasting our time, then these 70 bucks games are a waste of our money, actually I think this video is a waste of my time so I stopped watching, bye.

I've been thinking about this constantly ever since I watched this video, and honestly, it's sparked my old love for hub-based video games again (KOTOR, Outer Worlds, etc.). If anybody has any recommendations of that type, please let me know!

Where so God of war?!?

I agree that JRPGs and their unique perspectives or characters can get a little hard to get behind, but the Drakengard/Nier series has some of the craziest lore for real. Each game has a beautiful story on its own but the loose connections between them are a huge cherry on top.

I think Detroit Become Human and Stray were some graphically nice games
