00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're looking at the video game moments we never expected
00:11 to see from 2014 to 2023.
00:19 Number 10.
00:20 Truth About Bugsnax
00:33 Something isn't right on Snaktooth Island and from the beginning, the discerning player
00:37 will suspect that eating the critters and slowly turning your body parts into food probably
00:41 isn't the best idea.
00:43 But even all those hints don't prepare you for the final revelation about what the Snak
00:47 Squash and the Queen of Bugsnax really are.
00:55 It's been Lizbert all along, the original leader of the Snaktooth expedition and she's
01:00 turned into an enormous mutant monster.
01:03 The Bugsnax reproduce by being so delicious you can't help but eat them which eventually
01:07 transforms you into one.
01:09 It'll be even more traumatic if you try to rush through the game as any characters whose
01:12 side quests aren't complete will die to the Bugsnax hordes.
01:20 Number 9.
01:21 What Happened to Beth and Hannah?
01:23 Until Dawn
01:32 A prank gone awry causes the Washington twins, Beth and Hannah, to run out of their cabin
01:36 in the woods and into a snowstorm where we see them tumble from a cliff never to be found.
01:41 Over the course of the game, you'll uncover various mysteries that all converge at the
01:45 end, unraveling who the killer is, what the Wendigos are and what happened to Beth and
01:50 Hannah.
01:58 The truth is horrific though as we learn that Beth died during her fall and to survive,
02:03 Hannah had to eat her body.
02:05 But cannibalism in this world turns a person into a Wendigo meaning Hannah was cursed to
02:10 become one.
02:17 Number 8.
02:18 Dutch and Gloria - Red Dead Redemption 2
02:30 We knew from playing the first game that eventually Dutch would abandon morality and the gang would
02:34 splinter but we didn't know how this would all play out.
02:37 We get hints from the very beginning as the gang talks about the innocent women Heidi
02:41 McCourt Dutch shot in the Blackwater Massacre.
02:43 But even Arthur was shocked to see what happened to Dutch on Guarma as he violently murders
02:48 an old woman, Gloria.
02:58 It's true that she pulled a knife and tried to get more money from him but that's nothing
03:01 Dutch himself hasn't done in the past and going by how easily Dutch disarms her, she
03:05 was clearly never a threat.
03:07 Even on a low honor run, Arthur is horrified.
03:22 Number 7.
03:23 Evelyn's Death - Cyberpunk 2077
03:35 She's the one who sets up the relic heist at the beginning of the game.
03:38 Longtime friend of Judy Alvarez who frequently saw Yorinobu Arasaka as a client, Evelyn has
03:43 a lot of valuable information.
03:45 After the heist went wrong, Evelyn eventually found herself badly beaten by another client
03:49 at Clouds where she was handed over to the world's sleaziest ripperdoc.
03:53 She and Judy finally find her but she never recovers.
04:04 Judy only leaves her alone for a short while but Evelyn takes her own life.
04:08 In a game that tries to shock you at every turn with its hyper-sexualized world and endless
04:12 crime, poverty and violence, this is perhaps Cyberpunk 2077's most tragic event.
04:23 Number 6.
04:24 A Baby in Four Parts - Resident Evil Village
04:34 At the beginning of Village, Ethan and Mia are playing happy families with their newborn
04:38 daughter Rose only for that dream to be shattered by Chris Redfield kidnapping them.
04:42 Ethan eventually finds out that Rose has fallen into the hands of Mother Miranda who has,
04:47 shall we say, separated the baby into four pieces and given one to each of the four lords
04:52 for safekeeping.
05:02 You eventually find out that Rose is made of the mold which is how she's able to survive
05:05 dismemberment.
05:07 Ethan is also later subjected to a nightmarish hallucination of a monstrous baby at the hands
05:12 of Donna Beneviento, one of the scariest bosses in the franchise.
05:21 Number 5.
05:22 BJ's Audition - Wolfenstein II The New Colossus
05:33 This scene is so shocking that YouTube won't even let us show you the original version.
05:37 Instead, we have to use the censored German release of Wolfenstein II.
05:41 Following his supposed execution and resurrection, BJ is sent on another daring mission, this
05:45 time all the way to Venus where he's undercover as an actor auditioning for the role of Terror
05:50 Billy, i.e. himself.
05:56 But who else should show up to the audition other than the big man himself who's clearly
06:01 gone even more insane since Germany won the war?
06:03 BJ is horrified by his presence as he vomits and urinates everywhere and then shoots one
06:08 of BJ's fellow thespians for having a bad audition.
06:18 Number 4.
06:19 The Heim - The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
06:28 There are a lot of shocking moments in The Witcher 3 to choose from, the first appearance
06:31 of the Ladies of the Wood or the Botchling for instance.
06:34 But the quest Possession is perhaps more distressing than both of those as the best choice is to
06:39 have Geralt put a baby into an oven.
06:47 This is because Udalryk, the unstable Jarl of Clan Brokvar, has been taken over by Heim,
06:52 a dark entity that feeds on guilt.
06:54 One option to free him of the Heim is to trick the Heim by having it latch onto somebody else's
06:58 guilt, in this case Geralt's.
07:00 But the Heim is forced to release him when the trick is revealed.
07:03 The baby is actually unharmed.
07:11 Number 3.
07:12 You Aren't Snake - Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain
07:22 Metal Gear has always been known for its twists and turns, but few stick in the mind as much
07:26 as the revelation that throughout all of the Phantom Pain, you weren't playing as Big
07:30 Boss at all.
07:40 Previously you believed that you were Big Boss, awoken from a nine-year-long coma and
07:45 taking on the mantle of Venom Snake as you intervene in international politics again.
07:49 But this was all a red herring so that the true Big Boss, who you've known as Ishmael
07:53 since the beginning, could operate unnoticed.
07:56 You're actually just some guy who's been brainwashed into thinking he's Big Boss as part of this
08:00 extremely elaborate plan.
08:09 Number 2.
08:10 The Dragon Was Tyr - God of War Ragnarok
08:20 Though he's a God of War as well, Tyr is famously a level-headed pacifist in the Norse pantheon,
08:25 always looking for a way to avoid bloodshed.
08:27 He behaves like this for most of Ragnarok until Atreus finally retrieves the mask.
08:31 But it's Brock who sees through him first, ranting until Tyr stabs him.
08:40 It turns out that Tyr has been Odin in disguise the entire time and then he takes Atreus hostage
08:45 until he's able to escape.
08:47 This betrayal gives the player even more of a reason to hate Odin, as if there wasn't
08:50 enough already since Brock's death makes you desperate to launch the final assault on Asgard
08:55 and take down the All-Father.

09:22 Joel's Death - The Last of Us Part II
09:34 Maybe the most controversial moment in a video game ever, even though this story beat leaked
09:38 ahead of time, many still didn't believe it.
09:41 But it was true.
09:42 Joel is brutally murdered by a golf club-wielding Abby right at the beginning of the game in
09:46 front of Ellie who swears revenge.
09:56 This series is full of violent and disturbing moments, but the murder of the previous game's
10:00 main character was too much for some players to bear.
10:03 People ended up breaking their discs in half and sending death threats to the cast, refusing
10:07 to play the rest of the game that reveals Abby had a good reason for what she did.
10:10 Her father was the surgeon from the first game's finale.
10:21 Let us know in the comments which of these moments you can never unsee.
10:39 Thanks for watching.
