This is the best "its just a game" video ever made

I see this and it reminds me of what a friend once taught me
"Life goes on but memories stay behind to make a mark"

Best ever video

Video games will always be better than movies . God bless the true ones out there . Aren’t many left . The real ones ………

why isnt valiant hearts here? "War makes men mad"

in Poland we say "once, that was". they don't make games like that anymore that arouse such emotions, pure tears of happiness or sadness.

A time when you see the perfection of the game publishers' actions not counting on hyper profit, but on normal profit.

ONCE , tHAT WAS 😢

I spent the whole time going what why this game omg Arthur 😢. This huh? No Arthur...😢 Call of duty really? "I gave you all i had" crying 😢😢

At the end of the day games are a medium for witch to tell stories and they’ve told some good ones

The moment I heard deadmans gun I knew it was over. I'm not making it through this video withing crying

All that and no Gears Of War

You asshole just hit me right in my feels

My it's just a game moment:

"Jim?"
"It's okay. I got you."
*cue uplifting ethereal female vocal music*

StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty

Me: 😭

This is really insidious. OP took an actual good video you all have good feelings for and edited it with alt right shit like the Far Cry 5 taking guns away guy and the CoD zombies parody scene. Fuck this

No cyberpunk = mistake

Arthur Morgan was a true legend. I was depressed when I saw him die

Hey man it's cheating when you use that song.
And yes. Oh God above yes. Yes.

The first time a game ever struck me in the heart. I was playing Final Fantasy 7. I spent hours leveling up my party, including Aerith. I looked up the strategy guide to get her final limit break and ultimate weapon. I felt so achieved because she was a great healer. Major life saver. The party member I always counted on. Then when her scene came with Sephiroth, I couldn't save her....Time stopped. My heart sank. It was the very first time, a game made me gently place down the controller, and break down crying as if I was saying goodbye to a close friend. When I had accepted what had happened, I spent the rest of the game filled with anger alongside with the other characters in the game. When the final battle came my way, I...did...not....show...mercy...I had my characters set up where no matter what Sephiroth did, Knights of the Round was around every corner. A limit break was locked and loaded, and when the credits rolled, I cried and took a break from video games for a few months.

"This fire...what a warm and beautiful light it makes. [...] Whatever comes next...I do not think it is to be feared."

"Despite everything...it's still you."

I loved this compilation, an unusual arrangement, but they work very well together overall. So many games and differing stories can combine in our heads to inspire us and inspire creativity, or philosophy, or plain dumb fun. I'll raise a cup of Sap Wine to that. The good stuff, not the daunting digestive challenge.

This video is art, and it talks about art. The music election is perfect, the game election is perfect, but I'd put some Final Fantasy's in the list, I recommend you playing Final Fantasy VII and X, in my opinion they're slightly better than Outer Wilds and Red Dead 2

It´s never just a game, now is it? It´s a moment, a character... a lesson... one that even if just in a small portion... stays in our soul for the days to come... inspiring us each and every single one of those days, to become better men... no matter in what meassure...

well, this made me cry :')

“Best” bro you used Last of Us Part 2 clips, L

Infinite warefare gets too much hate

No.

It would mean a lot to me 😢

When you said best and it starts with the last of us I knew

When i played Battlefield 5 , the tiger tank mission , the driver was shot at the back for leaving the mission, calling him a traitor, the German general came down to save him,
That Game shows that War wll take everything from you not just your body

Glad i saw this video, i didn't watch the game awards but happy i didnt miss the line live. Love that song

😢 Christmas is off to a beautiful beginning! Thank you

Miss you dad. Thanks for sharing this love of games with me.

Didn’t expect far cry 5 to be here

I know this was a 1 year ago, but I’m just seeing this now, I want to say you cooked or whoever made this cooked and as soon as I started the video not even 10 secs in I burst out in tears to show how I feel abt it

no titanfall is diabolical

FAR CRY 5 MENTIONED????

A good single player story game can literally change one's perspective. So much to learn, so much to grow and evolve from.

No

Wow...awesome dude. As a gamer since way before the Wolfenstein/Unreal era, think dying of dysentery or being eaten by a gru, this was touching. Makes me more interested in the history of the genre as art.

NOT PUTTING THE AUNT MAY SCENE FROM SPIDER-MAN PS4 IS EVILLLL

The fact you put Outer Wilds here automatically makes this….indeed, the best video of this ever. Amazing.

Where is Mass Effect 1 and 2?

"ELLIE... you are treading on some mighty thin ice"

How are you able to use this music without an instant copyright? They get me for any and everything immediately!!😢😢😢

Thank you...Thank you so much for putting Outer Wilds into this video. This game changed my life forever and I would do ANYTHING to play it again

Arthur Morgan and Kratos might be the best characters ever written in fiction.

The ending where Arthur takes his final breath while looking at the sunrise is one of the greatest main story endings I've seen. What a masterpiece of a game

Arthur saying how he is afraid hurts my soul man. I’m almost 30 and it still makes me cry.

Video Games in general sparked my love of creativity. Mainly my love of stories, how they can vary, how differently they can be told, etc. Though I certainly have gained a love for creativity in general. To call so many things a form of art feels to me, a way of underselling so much. To call all those things, works of creativity, truly sells them. A drawing is not just a collection of colors. A book is not just a collection of words. A picture is formed from ideas that were birthed in a human mind, and put into visible form. A book is written from ideas that were also birthed in a human mind, put into readable form.

We put pieces of ourselves in what we make. Whether it be writing, drawing, coding, building, and oh so much more, there will always be pieces of us involved in creation. Whether it's visibly there, or not.
