The Conan cameo is actually cool. He was interviewing Hideo Kojima and Kojima, on a whim, asked him if he wanted to be in the game. They then took some 360° pictures of Conan and Kojima stayed true to his word

Finding that swimming technique on accident in Death Stranding is truly one of my favorite DS experience.

That level in Dishonored 2 is one of the best / most fun levels of a game I’ve played in a very long time. I absolutely LOVED playing that, I wish more games did creative things like that.

In an ever changing world of uncertainty, gameranx is consistently able to to make me smile when they drop their latest video

Titanfall 2's implementation of the time warping thing between two states of the same location is easily the best. Wall running and dodging burning debris of a crumbling building while taking people out, and it coincides with the story, was truly a treat. One of my core memories in gaming.

Man that time ability is cool, Titanfall 2 had it and it was amazing and it really made the single player even better even though it was in only one level and they did an insane job. I replay that level every once in a while. Rly spooks the player with enemies popping out of nowhere or letting you choose who to fight in what timeline.

Dishonoured and Bioshock are timeless games.
Truly unique and amazing

I didn't know they came out with a new rise of the triad game. I played the hell out of the first one in the mid 90's. A friend's dad repaired computers and had 4 hooked together on a LAN. We'd play deathmatch all night it was a blast!

[jsullivan]

The Timepiece in Dishonored 2 honestly blew my mind, it immediately struck me that however they pulled it off had to be something truly special in game design.

[ReaperCheGuevara]

A new series about super powers. Thanks Gameranx

[temporalgraffiti]

Keep up the great work! Your videos are always fantastic and a joy to watch!

The Exclusive Access Duo Boon from Hades is a game changer. It can make or break a whole run depending on if you get it early enough in the run. The ability to make all future boons minimum epic level is insane.

[LordEha]

The time shift thingy had been done before in a pretty old game, Clive Barker's Undying, where you use a rune stone thingy to see how things looked in the past or what has happened in certain place so you can find hidden things. But pretty cool

[bookman]

Great video, it’s always awesome how you have a new video or even one everyone loves every time, never get bored.

[fmrc]

Although it’s similar to your #10, but the power up that allows you to switch between times for platforming and battles in Titanfall 2

[abrealgaming]

The weird mushroom still sickens me and Lanky Mario still haunts my every waking minute.

[Onlylegend]

I appreciate the variety when it comes to videos gameranx y'all never run out of ideas

[ReleaseZeKrakken]

So glad SN is finally on a list of some kind 😭 super underrated game
