Put a t-shirt on your body www.outsidexbox.com/tshirts
Sir Dan Fortesque from Medievil. Killed off in the introductory cut-scene, resurrected to fight as a skeleton. Your starting weapon is the arm you rip off your own body.
I was looking for this one xD
Yeah, that seems armbout right.
@@lordbanetheplayer8844 Boo
LordBaneThePlayer BOOOO
He's armed and dangerous...
12:11
"...and boldly repells down an icy cliff!"
"AAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!"
It's not spelled that way, lol.
Pyrrha died
I love how in the Middle Earth Shadow games time moves forward each time you die and that the Orcs will get promotions and level up for killing you. The Nemesis system is amazing
Yeah I agree till surprised more game's don't use it
@@nottodayimbusy7146 i think (from what I remember anyway) that it's because they copyrighted the system, so no one else can use it in their game, same way the decisions wheel in mass effect and dragon age are copyrighted and can't be used by anyone else than Bioware
"And an Axe the Size of Northampton" -squeals from Northampton native-
Actually, in bloodborne, it's actually possible to run past the werewolf, but why run when you can punch a werewolf?
Oh wait. This is bloodborne. Whoops.
You can kill him quite easily. Just dodge through his first attack and then charge your R2 attack while behind him. He is getting stunned and the following visceral attack will kill him.
Mr Mecha
Kick him in the nards!
well that and bloodborne has a purpose, its to teach about the mechanics of dying and to teach that this game doesnt fuck around, as well as a nice introduction to the hunters dream.
I have died to it once and fought it upwards of 10 times
Why is Jane never in the same scene as Ellen? Is it just impossible to have things with the same charm to be too close to each other?
Or maybe...They're the same person!
Tomato Overlord 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
hmmm...what a quarky thing to say. I'm uncertain what you might be getting at. I'll have to examine it more closely...
It's the OX version of crossing the streams
Because they are the same person. Trust me on this. I know because I was at the test site when Jane accidentally created her cheerier half.
Kingdoms of Amalur looks like a good game, I’ve got to give it a try
It is very fun! High key recommend!
Remake
I was so happy when I found out that ellen stans this game
It is a very good game. I really enjoyed it.
It looks like a good game, but it's actually a great game. And I say that as someone who found and played it more years than I care to admit after it's initial release.
I died at the start of the PREY demo. I jumped into the spinning blades of a helicopter. So, yea.
This is so funny to me bahahaha
They mention this in the achievements youre ashamed of (or something like that) video
"Some are an inconvenience, some are shocking..."
You might say... BIO-shocking?!? Eh? Ehhhh? I'll go now.
*Only one who claps*
*Slow claps* -You suck- Ooooooook......
FINALLY! THEY MENTION THE SPOILER-CEPTION
I absolutely love that KoA: Reckoning got a mention. It's my favorite game of all time despite all the variety I play and it definitely doesn't get enough love. Wish the makers hadn't gone bankrupt so that they could fix the random bugs and increase the level count past 40. Thanks for mentioning it, Ellen!
I actually beat the werewolf and was then told i was suppose to die by a friend 😂
Now I have that image stuck in my mind of a younger Ellens past as a little sister.
From werewolves to mind-controlled suicide to robot dismemberment, these are your suggestions of the games that murder you right out the gate. Enjoy!
Spoilers ahead:
The Dead Space 3 bit where you talked about the "protagonist" being killed and end up playing as another protagonist reminded me of Danganronpa 3. That's one that honestly blew my mind.
You die at the beginning of murdered soul suspect and play the rest of the game as a ghost
TRUE
Technically Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Oh damn, that's true. that's a really good game, too.
Murdered Soul Suspect was on the previous list
And the villain of that game is someone who I hate in real life,
Abigail William's, the bitch who killed 24 people back in salem by lying and calling them witches, I enjoyed Killing her
I once met one of the creators of bioshock at a diner he was nice guy
I totally believe that.
Someguy1237 tbh it's not that hard to belive a lot of people worked on bioshock and depending were he lives it might be possible.
Would you kindly elaborate?
@@andrewpenn1145 Haha I understood that reference
That bit at the end, the genuine laughter of the team, is by far the most endearing part of your already good videos! More of it!
He is so excited about Tim, it's adorable.
I love Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning damn shame the next 2 games got abandoned when the company went bankrupt.
THQ Nordic acquired the rights, so a long awaited sequel may be just around the corner
@@deathbykonami5487 remaster incoming
Elder scrolls doe am I right?
I have a nice idea for a next video:
Amazing cut scene spells that are nowhere to be found in the gameplay.
This video would have to include Jon Irenicus
Marcelo Yuri Destiny 2 when Ikora rey opens up the infinite forest with a fucking beam of void light like she’s in dragon ball z
I have an idea for a list: Video Games with the Best Sewers. Could be an interesting one.
WhammyTime91 or even better.... the WORST sewers
Or maybe...the least bad sewers?
Anyone remember the massive sewer in ratchet and clank 3? With magnetic walls so you could walk on all sides
Oh man that was great!
I'd also like to give thanks for Dellin City sewers in FFVIII for letting me pull off a flawless assassina... oh wait.
World of Warcraft's Undercity and Dalaran Underbelly imo.
I love the Bioshock games, it's my favorite game series
I also like them. BioShock infinite is my least favorite BioShock game, though
Here's a relatively newer game that kills you in the beginning cutscene: Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Unless your favorite character is Kirby.
*kirby is immortal*
Still nothing about Discworld Noir? Come on! There's a chase scene, you're stabbed, you die (in a lot of pain, and then it has one of the best opening lines to anything ever...
"I've had some bad days since I started work as a private investigator, but I've never woken up dead before."
I never played Discworld but I sure as hell love the books! May Terry Pratchett rest in peace
see people don't give bioshock 2 enough credit if you ask me
I want you to know that after hearing Ellen y’all about it so often, I’ve finally decided to give Kingdoms if Amaleur a shot. Good job, Ellen.
Actually, Outside Xtra, the guy at the beginning of Black Ops 3 did die but it's not a favor dream. At the end it's revealed that you aren't playing the game after those events, you are playing the game before those events, and you are John Taylor the entire game, and you're having to kill your team, which is what leads into the whole Hendricks and Taylor confrontation at the beginning. Then Hendricks and the main player underwent the surgery and both died.
Aside from dying I think the outcome for 6 is sweat. She really cares for him enough to spend years reviving him😊
I mean neither of them chose to become what they were, but Delta always cared and protected her so of course she'd want him back
The Bioshock 2 intro cutscene will always be one of the most badass for me, Delta was and is such a badass.
the beginning of Kingdoms of Amalur looks like the beginning of Remember me
"Though, by seeing the title of the game you'll know that you die early on in the game so... Spoiler Paradox~"
Reminded me just in time so I could close the video before reading it and spoiling myself, Ellen the real MVP
What about Last of Us? You start off playing as Sarah, Joel's daughter, then she gets shot to death by a terrified soldier 3 min. later.
SPOILERZ!!?!😡
...actually that's already been spoiled to *me.*
@@KickyFut It's not a spoiler, it's the setup for the game. That's like saying Lukes aunt and uncle dying is a spoiler.
He had nothing to lose
Actually, telling that to someone who hasn't seen A New Hope right before they get to see it, it *would* be a spoiler, yes! Like I said, that particular scene had been ruined to me already, but it could have been phrased a mite subtler... for people who want to play it before the next one comes out.
Oh my god ikr that was so sad
Battlefield 1 is quite the game missing here from the two lists
lifetake true, but ghost trick deserves a much higher spot than most. i mean Missile!
You're right Ghost Trick is definitely missing here, awesome game.
True enough, in the prologue.
Of course, since Battlefield is mostly perceived as an online multiplayer game, and fewer than 10% of all players have completed the campaign even in normal difficulty (I have the "rare" achievement showing this to be the case)...well, it's kinda just showing that the entire game is primarily going to be you dying every 2-3 kills. :)
My god you're dumb check the description and see when this video was released. BEFORE THE GAME CAME OUT
um battlefield 1 came out October 21......
Love that you included the Playstation 4 exclusive Bloodborne in your list, Outside Xbox.
No seriously, I love that game, love that you do too
I love this channel. Helps me remember something. And have a good day
>tim not afraid
I clearly remember hearing his screams over the sound of his gun.
Gotta love Bioshock 2! Fantastic opening to an amazing game, easily my favourite in the series
Love playing as Delta
Final Fantasy X, Tidus is dead after the first Sin battle.
Final Fantasy XII, you play through the tutorial as Vaan's older brother, who is killed during the tutorial-ending cutscene.
Speaking of, anyone else wonder why Vaan is included in all the important princess stuff? Kinda seemed not-well-thought-out.
In FF XII, Vaan is just how we get to the real protagonist, Balthier.
What about Legacy of Kain: Soul River? You are literally killed at the beginning of the game!
Well, for one, that's not your character's first death, just the first one you're shown. However, that does bring up the original, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.
That ending pun. Mike, you should feel bad.
Actually, I loved it.
hey ellen did you know that if that bendy straw was long enough the force it would take to suck it through the straw would cause the liquid to evaporate....... nothing to do with this video except bendy straw
Do you watch Rooster Teeth or do you just know that?
I actually once saw a let's play by someone who somehow managed to beat that werwolf without weapons.
*bangs gong* "Bring out yer dead!"
Christopher Odd actually managed to defeat the werewolf in Bloodborne with his character's bare fists.
I really want to be in the studio while the crew make a new video. Like, I don't have to be spoken to, or even acknowledged, I just wanna be there.
What, no Until Dawn? One of the most jarring "Whoops, you died, RIP" moments I've ever seen, and worse still you can't shake the feeling that if you'd just picked the other option, you might have lived. It sucks SO MUCH.
Doesn't really count, since you don't have to die.
@@l0sts0ul89 But... you do? Your first really playable character, Beth, is dead. Period. End of story. No matter what choice you make, she dies. YOU die. There's no choice you can make that saves Beth from her fate.
@@LauraSti
Oh yeah forgot about her
a mention of my hometown in an OXtra video!? my life is complete
I knew Ellen was a little sister all along
You are dead. Not big surprise.
Dah
great grammar.
I'm drunk you dont have an excuse
DiZ i get it :D
DiZ nein! get on the point! dumkoff!
Omg that pun at the end Ellen 😂
Amular taking the dying at begining to whole new level that i can only recall planescape torment being on
The Nameless One! Planescape: Torment!
when I saw the title I thought, "better have Bloodborne or demon's souls," and it has both!
glorious walrus but bloodborne doesn't belong in this list...
Robin Dombrowa I'm guessing there is a lore explanation, I'm more on dank souls lore, so could you explain it to me.
glorious walrus no it's just because you can run past the werewolf or kill it with your fists and play the whole game without dying
Robin Dombrowa It is possible but 90% of people will die to it.
dying to it makes getting to the Dream much faster, or you can run past it, getting to the Central Yharnam lamp, and then going back to kill it anyways
Until Ellen said something I was laughing knowing she would comment on Kingdoms of Alamur: Reckoning
you forgot when Ruvik stabs Sebastian in the eye with a long spike in the evil within
7:28 i literally squealed at that pronunciation
Alien Isolation killed me. I quickly learned not to bang a walls with the maintenance jack.
that was only palpable the deaths for the atom puns. good show.
I agree with the sneaky bow wielding mage part. That is literally everything I like in one sentence.
Bioshock 2 is criminally underrated
No it`s not.
whatever you say bias
trey tomas
On it's own merit it's an amazing game. But it was just such a downgrade compared to the first
trey tomas it's good, but not as good as the first
It's an upgrade in terms of the Gameplay (Having more creative powers with your Plasmids as well as being able to use both Guns and Plasmids at the same time was awesome, albeit for some it took away from the suspense of fights when you were so powerful.)
It's a downgrade in terms of the story. (No huge plot twist or shocking sights. There were more characters to listen to which took away from your only voice usually being 1 or 2 people in the level, and some people didn't like Eleanor who was a major part of it.)
But holy fuck people shit on this game just because it's not as good as Bioshock 1. I mean it was expected for the game to meet or exceed Bioshock 1. But even when it didn't do that, it still did pretty damn good. I got emotionally invested in the characters and the gameplay was fun.
That's like an Olympic athlete being sent death threats and hate mail because they didn't beat the world record that their predecessor set despite still doing pretty good in the scoring.
Not the Best Game Ever™ or anything, but not the worst thing in the world.
It's like in a weird space of Hype Limbo. People were hyped for a sequel to one of the best games ever made, but when it didn't meet up to the expectations it was... not a train wreck.
It wasn't No Man's Sky where just about everything was a lie. It wasn't Call Of Duty where it was just more of the same. It wasn't Borderlands 2 where everything was made better in all directions. It was just kind of... there...
It was a Good Game that wasn't the Excellent Game everyone wanted it to be.
Kingdoms of Amalur needs more love, period.
Amalur is one of my favorite games.
Amaranth Agreed, KoA was freaking awesome.
ikr KoA is fucking dope
pity EA dropped the ball marketing it.
One of the only games that makes a mage a close-range badass!😁
The game Moonlighter. You start off in a dungeon, and go through a couple of rooms for the tutorial, then there's a room full of enemies that kill you, but because of game mechanics, you just get spat out of the dungeon and get better. I highly recommend playing Moonlighter.
As I recall in Black Ops III you're saved by Chris. While you get your skill gets crushed and you take on a different character. Or not.
I think outside xbox/xtra saw my comment about the spoiler paradox :DD
I don't count the werewolf in Bloodborne, you can run past him and get your first lantern without dying, skipping the "die immediately" part
i loved the pun at the end lol.
Northampton reference, a like is deserved xD
I really shouldn't ask but... Why are you banished from Centre Parks, Luke?
Who.M.D These are the questions we need answered.
I usually just run past the werewolf and never die to it
That's exactly what the game wants you to do, People only die due to being too aggressive around it
Ellen is my favorite because her puns are KILLER!
When you forget you don’t have a stealth boy and instinctively hit your favourite buttons and go to sneak attack a vault 111 radroach but it kills you
8:25 what Andy has a pulse he can dance to? What is his heart like the cat in red dwarf.
kanekan Yes
beamohawk Fair enough.
The way you pronounced Celebrimbor........oh it hurts my ears
Fakjbf it's called ACCENTS!
Fakjbf eyes* duh u aer so budm
No it's not accents, I'm British myself. they just say it plain wrong. It's said "cele" as in "CELEbrity" not kelly"
TheTvdroid Actually no. In Tolkien's elvish languages all Cs were pronounced as hard Ks, like in the word cat. If he wanted an S he just used an S. But Luke pronounced it ceLEbrimbor, putting way too much emphasis on the second syllable. It should be CEleBRIMbor, with the emphasis on the first and third syllables.
I'm just describing it the way the game said it mate, I have no idea about the whole lore of the universes.
"Soul River".
"Ehi Kain, look at my new cool wings!"
Kain rips wings off, and throws Raziel off a cliff.
New one for your list here. .Hack Infection. First time I saw that Error Screen, I thought the Pre-Owned Console actually broke.
either you are not playing as Tim or the game is much shorter than you were expecting
Swarth2300 Turns out it's just the order 1886's sequel
Was hoping to see Final Fantasy XII. It sucks, because I actually liked Reks! :(
I know. FFXII, when Reks is killed, takes you by surprise the first time you see it. Even after playing several times, it still sucks seeing his death.
6:31 goodness, you got all of those right. There's yet another Lord Of The Rings fan.
The ripping of the arm part made me flinch....
I died at the start of "Destroy All Humans!"... OF LAUGHTER!!!!
XD
What am I doing with my life?
"You are banished from death" that's so me.
My life is so boring even death rejects and avoids me.
And btw, that character from the Kingdom of Amalur looks really similar to Ellen.
Whoaaaaa
Almost 3 years late, but Ookami is kind of like Kingdoms of Amalur. At the start of the game, you're treated to a lovely story based on real Japanese folklore in which the character you play as, the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu in wolf form, died while fighting the giant 8-headed serpent demon, Orochi. Then 100 years later the seal on Orochi is removed and he (they?) is revived and Sakuya, the spirit of the sacred sakura (cherry blossom tree), revives you as well from the statue your corpse apparently turned into after your death. So "technically" you die at the start of the game it's just that it's in the long opening cut scene.
Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning was an amazing RPG I love using the chakram weapons swinging them around like a crazy person
Okay, KotOR /kinda/ counts because [SPOILERS]
....
....
....
You play the game as a person who is secretly Revan, thought dead as of the beginning of the game, when you see this death in a cutscene. But! depending on how you play the game, Revan did die then, in a way, reborn to a new life.
...nah, doesn't count.
It's because it's more your past personal life is theoretically dead, but to count that makes literally any player character that starts with amnesia the exact same thing.
I missed Mass Effect 2 from the list.
Other possible candidates are The Elder Scrolls Online and Murdered: Soul Suspect
ME2 was on the original list
Not surprised in the least Ellen managed to include Kingdoms of Amalur in this list. In fact, I would have been shocked if it hadn't been.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution... Adam Jenson is basically murdered in a way that would make Alex Murphy proud, then reborn as a Robocop-esque humanized cyborg.
OX's crazy straw game is strong.
Legend of Zelda majora's mask. You start the game DEAD.
That's a fan theory. Canonically, Link lives to adulthood and becomes the ghost warrior who teaches you skills in Twilight Princess.
Super Paper Mario qualifies for this list and is also a game you would never expect such a thing from.
I don't care where you got that pun at the end from, for that you'll get my upvote. :D
#Blame Mike. Come on. You know you want to.
you can get past the wolf in bloodborn without getting killed!!! only scrubs die to it!
SweAtilaa exactly what I was thinking
SweAtilaa Was watching the video for an extra minute before gloating difficult for you?
Reeve Isaacs i did watch the whole video, i still had to tell the world that "only scrubs die to it". and it does not really belong in this video since you dont have to die there.
SweAtilaa yet most people who play it probably do die. I'm with Luke on the whole "waiting it out until he turns back into a regular man" thing. besides, It's easier to just let him kill you to advance the plot more quickly
you can just straight kill the werewolf at the beginning without your weapons and just go to the dream using the lamp thats right outside. its not hard at all even for new players as long as you pay attention
I love Ellen’s look in this one.
Borderlands 2 literally opens with you and (most of) your new Vault Hunter buddies on a train, which antagonist Handsome Jack then immediately blows up... with you all still onboard... Knew I should've got off at that last station...
koa is my favorite too i must've played it for like 200 hrs total on my old xbox 360
KoA's criminally underrated- it's like a richer, deeper, more immersive version of Skyrim. Skyrim's pretty and huge, but without mods, it's like an ocean that's a puddle-deep. And the combat in KoA is just so much better it's basically incomparable. Only real disadvantage is that KoA has no proper companion characters...
ashtherion ikr too bad we never got a sequel i mean the lore and the loose ends were there it just needed a few more polish to the combat and the role playing and a new engine and maybe a voiced character it would have been an awsome sequel
...what do you mean by limits you on where you can go? The map is huge, and apart from barring you from Klurikon for plot reasons there's really nothing to stop you from running wherever you want to go, since it's not that hard to sprint past over-levelled enemies...although it's not like you're lacking in stuff to do in the areas you DO have unlocked. I mean seriously, Amalur has quests fer daaaaayyys.
KoA:R is most similar, as far as I know, to Fable. So if you liked KoA:R, check out the first two Fable games (The third isn't a great Fable game, but still a good game anyway, I suppose.)
You kind of die / travel to the future in FFX
I died a little listening to Tidus try to laugh. Does that count?
Salen Stormwing Same, but not quite the beginning of the game
Bishop Gale No, you don't die in the beginning of that game. You're actually not even transported to the future. SPOILERS!!! The massive Fayth at the top of Gagazet is constantly dreaming/summoning the Zanarkand that Tidus and Jeckt are from, but far out at sea where no one will find them. Jeckt ran into Sin when ye olde big whale came semi close to the city, Jeckt came and picked up Tidus to break the cycle. No time travel. This particular clarification came from the FFX Ultimania, BTW.
To be fair, it's hard to really know just how "real" Tidus even is. He's just part of a dream the Fayth are having, likely inspired by Shuyin.
To die one must first live. And Tidus has no life. We can tell by his soulless laugh and his sports star career being the only thing he has to talk about.
It is quite a trope, expecially in RPG games, where you start as an uber-character, only to be mauled by the first boss and THEN you truly begin the game as a powerless nobody
Cool video!
