7:46 thought it said shittake in the bottom left corner so I had to rewind
how bout top 10 good deeds that turned out to be bad ideas in movies?
Weird how almost all of these games were from Japan
What about playing the entire game a second time to get the true ending? Like in Ghost & Goblins?
How funny this whole video I was thinking of castlevania. Glad to see it made the list.. I remember being a child and beating the game just to realize I was only halfway through. I remember thinking hell no, I beat the game, I'm done.
The second half of MGSV pains me. So much potential and it was just thrown away.
You missed Devil May Cry 4. Play through as Nero. Then you get to a point where you take control of Dante and have to go backwards from whence you came.
nobody cares about the bolt thing, jesus
Comon metal gear wasnt that bad in padding. this really how it would work in real time
911
How could you not include Ghost and Goblins? To truly beat the game you have to play through it completely twice?
windwaker was the last Zelda game I purchased/played. I stopped while searching for those stupid triforce pieces
Skyward Sword should have been #1, not wind waker. That game was padding from begining to end!
Wind waker HD is the best Zelda game ever
ummm no Virtue's Last Rewards? the whole game basically requires you to play through the same dialogue most of the time for about 10 times maybe more in a different timeline
Nobody ever talks about the downtime scenes in "Persona 4."
Someone's never played Ghouls and Ghosts.
Why are they still promoting that Bolt of E3 thing. Wasn't E3 like a MONTH ago?
The great maze in smash bros brawl. That was a pain in the @#!?
my sister would kill you all over #7.
So glad you take the time at the beginning of every gaming video to tell us about the bolt to e3… sooo stoked about it…. (sarcasm in play.) please stop WM.
I was totally expecting the cat missions on Sonic Adventure 2 where you have to fish for a stupid frog for like 2 hours.
#1 everything: Destiny
I would have enjoyed this video…. if I played more than one of the listed video games.
did everyone just totally forget about wildlands? where you did the same thing in so many different areas!
Aight I stopped this damn countdown just to rant on how they spelled Triforce…
You seriously ragged on SotN's upside-down castle? If it were the same enemies and bosses, maybe you'd get a slight pass. But it was a bigger challenge and made the game all the more fun.
How about this: The ENTIRE game: Shadow the Hedgehog.
You have to play the game 10 TIMES just to get all endings in order to unlock the Final Story, and may the Spirits have mercy on your soul when you get to Lost Impact to do the Hero mission.
mojo should stop involving the games of the 1900s
how is chapter XIII form final fantasy XV not on here?
hold on, you forgot super ghouls and ghosts!
Center of the galaxy in No Man's Sky is another major instance of padding, actually the whole game is padding
I loved the side missions/tasks in Bully. Lawn mowing, delivering newspapers, the detention games etc.
I actually enjoyed the library and how it was a maze, really confusing as a kid with being trapped to fight multiple waves of enemies and desperately running out the wrong way lol With RECORE it's more of a classic such as Rayman legends and such, The last few levels require you to collect about all of the coins and teeth.
