welcome to watch mojo
and today we'll be counting down our
picks for the top 10 most satisfying
moments in video games
[Music]
for this list we'll be looking at
recurring moments and actions in video
games that bring the most enjoyment to
players
if there's a satisfying moment that
you're unsatisfied didn't make our list
share it in the comments number 10
clearing the screen tetris franchise
tetris is one of the most widely played
and copied puzzle games of all time
the goal of aligning blocks in a row to
make them disappear is a simple one
but also an extremely satisfying one to
see in action
[Music]
however along with the immensely catchy
music another thing that'll get a
player's heart rate up is seeing their
screens fill with blocks and be unable
to clear them away
so when you're starting to panic at the
increasing number of blocks
nothing soothes your soul quite like
finding that one block you need to wipe
it all away
and start fresh
[Music]
number nine bfg 9000 super shotgun
doom franchise
wading through the various devil spawn
that have attacked mars and its moons is
no easy task for doomguy
or the players controlling him so when
doomguy and the player get the chance to
use a powerful gun to blow through the
demons that once gave them so much
trouble
well revenge is a dish best served at
the end of a gun barrel
whether players are using the super
shotgun with its satisfying sounds and
constant reloading
or shooting green plasma that
obliterates every foe in its path with
the bfg 9000
these two guns are tons of fun
number eight winning standoffs ghost of
tsushima
combat in a lot of action games can
start to feel samey
but ghost of tsushima manages to stand
out through this awesome mechanic
standoffs instead of running up and
button mashing until your foe is dead
you can choose to do the honorable thing
and challenge them to a duel
then a cinematic standoff ensues like
the conclusion of a samurai movie and
you must use precise timing to strike
and kill your opponent
and while getting it wrong can be
disappointing and frustrating when you
get it right
the slow-mo kill strike never fails to
make you feel like a total badass
number seven getting an s rank various
everyone likes knowing they did well and
video games often give letter grades to
indicate how successful the player was
at a given task
however those familiar with the american
education system will probably be
confused that a lot of the games
particularly from japan don't have the
highest rank as a
instead it's an s
[Music]
to achieve an s rank in a game usually
requires completing a level or a
challenge with absolute perfection
and often within a certain time limit
too the s may as well stand for skill
because if you get it you know you've
got it get it
[Music]
number six beating hades for the first
time
hades
now we can hear you asking beat the game
hades or the boss of the same name
yes hades is a hack and slash roguelike
game which for all you newbies out there
means that the action is fast and
furious and if you die
you basically reset though with cemented
perks
this makes for punishing difficulty and
numerous runs as you try to defeat the
greek god of the underworld
to borrow from another greek myth
playing this game can make you feel like
you're sisyphus
pushing a boulder up a hill for eternity
but
unlike him you can actually achieve
victory and when you do
it's like drinking ambrosia
[Music]
defeating a boss soulsborne franchise
from software has created some of the
most popular action rpgs of the last
decade
these include the souls franchise as
well as games like bloodborne
and sekiro shadows die twice they're all
notoriously difficult to beat and will
involve the player dying
a lot
in the games is usually built around
defeating bosses and although the
regular enemies are often enough to make
your life flash before your eyes
multiple times
bosses are on another level entirely
finding their patterns is a matter of
trial and a whole
lot of error when you do finally
overcome these frequently monstrous
bosses
you'll be praising the sun and
everything else you manage to survive
for once
number four finding diamonds minecraft
diamonds are a gamer's best friend when
mining for materials in minecraft
players find plenty of materials to
craft new things with however the most
useful material is easily diamond given
that it can be used to make some of the
most important items
include the most durable armor and
pickaxes which are useful against tough
enemies and in digging up hard materials
like obsidian
it's also usually the most difficult to
find often spawning deep underground
necessitating prolonged mining sessions
locating diamond is well
like striking gold in the real world
striking gold in minecraft is just
not that big a deal
number three spiking opponents super
smash brothers franchise
[Music]
hitting your opponents off the stage in
a super smash brothers game is kind of
the whole point
sometimes they can recover though by
jumping or otherwise propelling
themselves back on stage
you can interrupt this effort however
and smash them downwards into the pit
below by using a smash attack that hits
downwards
[Music]
this technique is usually called spiking
or meteor smashing
technically only melee has true spiking
but whatever you call it the action is
almost literally
dunking on your opponent although most
games allow the possibility to recover
from these hits the timing can be tricky
regardless there is a certain juvenile
glee in watching your foes hopes get
dashed
[Music]
number two catching a legendary pokemon
pokemon franchise
[Music]
while we consider discussing shiny
pokemon not everyone's into collecting
them and
every shiny is a winner legendary
pokemon meanwhile are on every trainer's
must-have list
legendary pokemon are usually on the box
art and tend to be some of the most
powerful
and or plot important ones in the games
[Music]
fighting one can be challenging enough
but getting one inside a pokeball and
making it join your team
is just about the highest level of
satisfaction one can achieve in the game
even if you decide to forgo the headache
and just throw a master ball at it
capturing an incredibly strong pokemon
still feels
the very best well almost
[Music]
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
triple jump super mario 64. there's a
rhythm to his progressively higher jumps
that make us
wahoo every time
[Music]
catching a contradiction ace attorney
franchise
watching the defendant or witnesses
testimony unravel is oh so satisfying
[Music]
opening a chest the legend of zelda
franchise who doesn't love that tune

number one acts recall god of war
wow
as kratos the titular god of war players
usually deal with their foes by
attacking them with an axe which kratos
can throw for a ranged attack
however rather than walking over to it
and picking it up out of your fallen foe
like a mortal you can recall the axe to
kratos's hand
the way a god does
the axe throw in recall mechanic is so
simple in concept but the execution is
so immensely satisfying
whether you're just holding your hand
out to look like a badass or
marveling that the axe can kill enemies
on its way back
this never loses its novelty
