-> '''Creator/{{Sokrates}}''' (from ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey''): Our choices are like ripples on water. They seem tiny and insignificant at the beginning, but they can become devastating tidal waves by the time they run their course.

-> '''Creator/Sokrates''' (from ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey''): Our choices are like ripples on water. They seem tiny and insignificant at the beginning, but they can become devastating tidal waves by the time they run their course.

* JokeAndReceive: In the beginning of the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake'' video, the narrator jokes that Creator/{{Capcom}} is going to "skip ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Code Veronica]]'' and go straight to a ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' remake". Cue a news article detailing [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4Remake exactly that]], with the narrator also noting that he wrote the joke in the ''[RE3=]'' remake sins video script ''two months'' before the game even released.

** If some of the playable characters go through stealth sequences in open-world games, they're called ''Franchise/MetalGear X''. So far, there are ''Metal Gear [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 Watson]]'', ''Metal Gear [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption Marston]]'' and ''Metal Gear [[VideoGame/LifeIsStrange Max]]''.

* {{JustForPun}}: Normally, the narrator adds sins for cases of this. However, he finds Harley Quinn's use of this in VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum to be funny enough to add likes instead.

* TheBadGuyWins: Narrator asserts that by all reasonable accounts, this is how ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' ''should'' have ended.
** He approves the VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity's dual choice system within the [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent Catwoman campaign]], where [[spoiler: you can decide to leave Arkham City, abandon Batman to die, and allow Joker and Two-Face's gangs to break out and overwhelm Gotham; however, this is not an actual ending to the game, and should you choose this, [[ButThouMust the game will literally rewind itself and force you to save Batman]]]]. The narrator adds a sin for this, saying that a story with a backbone would have gone through with the bad ending.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: GCN notes in its sins video for ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' that despite the Elder Gods creating the eponymous tournament as an ironclad method of preventing Shao Kahn from merging Earthrealm with Outworld should he lose: they allow Shao Kahn to create a new tournament on Outworld out of the blue, without their knowledge or consent, after already losing the first Mortal Kombat tournament; and simply observe while Kahn invades Earthrealm despite also losing the tournament that ''he himself created''. This causes the narrator to declare the Elder Gods useless and wholeheartedly agree with [[DragonWithAnAgenda Quan Chi]] when he [[LampshadeHanging lampshades it]]:
-->'''Quan Chi:''' Shao Kahn's victory is nearly complete. Soon he will arrive to Earthrealm.\\
'''Raiden:''' [[BigNo NO]]! The Elder Gods will not allow it!\\
'''Quan Chi:''' ''(disparagingly)'' The Elder Gods are toothless.\\
'''Narrator:''' [[VillainHasAPoint One sin reduction for Quan Chi speaking TRUTH]]!!! *beep!*
** This is given a ContinuityNod in their sins video of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', where he notes that despite [[spoiler: their ultimate decision to intervene in Shao Kahn's plans at the end of ''MK 9'', they still don't do anything when Shinnok---a former Elder God himself, and therefore a far more pressing and much more personal threat to Raiden than Shao Kahn---conducts his own invasion]], causing the narrator to declare that the divine forces of the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' Universe have officially been demoted to "Garbage Tier." Mention is also given to the fact that despite the protection of Earthrealm being his sole responsibility, Raiden fails time and time again at ''this one simple task'', thereby allowing the plot of MKX to happen.

* WTHCastingAgency: Quite an egregious example in ''Spider-Man (2018)'' episode. Narrator is not particularly fond of the participation of Creator/TravisWillingham and Creator/LauraBailey in the game, mainly because the former "sounds like [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]] got the best of him again" and the latter "sports her usual Laura Bailey-isms from the book". When it comes to Creator/DaveFennoy:
-->'''Narrator:''' [[VideoGame/TheWalkingDead Lee]], what the Hell are you doing in this game? *ding!*

*** E3 2018 gave us '''''800''''' sins right off the bat, plus 90 more for its runtime, '''plus an extra 670 for the Andrew Wilson Bullshit Sin Counter''' -- that's over 1500 sins, all because of EA!
-->'''Narrator:''' EA. ''(500 Sins)'' Actually, can we make an exception this one time? ''(800 Sins)'' That's more like it.

*** E3 2018 gave us '''''800''''' sins right off the bat, plus 90 more for its runtime, '''plus an extra 670 for the Andrew Wilson Bullshit Sin Counter'' -- that's over 1500 sins, all because of EA!

* FailureHero: The narrator says that [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX Raiden]] has failed so utterly and unjustifiably in his task of protecting Earthrealm that he has pretty much become this.

-->'''Narrator:''' ''(exasperatedly)''Really, Raiden? You would move the Heavens to bring them back into the light? [[PunctuatedForEmphasis YOU. ARE. A. GOD!]] *ding!*
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: They sin ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' for particularly ridiculous uses of this, in order to avoid explaining how relatively weaker characters keep beating easily more powerful ones. One example is the very first chapter, when [[BadassNormal Johnny Cage]] defeats [[AnIcePerson Sub-Zero]], a trained warrior from a clan that is the Chinese equivalent of [[{{Ninja}} ninjas]], [[PlayingWithFire Scorpion]], the fighter from an actual Japanese {{Ninja}} clan reborn as a demon from a FireAndBrimstoneHell, and even '''SHINNOK''', [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu a former ELDER GOD]]. The last example is when the narrator goes from somewhat exasperated derision to legitimate frustration:

* GroinAttack: The narrator pronounces [[ActionGirl Sonya]]'s use of this on [[TheDragon Quan Chi]] at the end of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to be the point where the sorcerer stopped being the badass that he had been originally established as.

** Similar sin was brought up again in ''The Order: 1886'' video:
-->'''Izi:''' Remember: youth always prevails.\\

** ''Discount X'' sins. These apply to mechanics/characters/other things that were obviously and blatantly made to look like the original mechanics/characters/other things from well-known games and franchises:
** In ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry'' sins video, Mundus is called "Discount [[ComicBook/LexLuthor Lex Luthor]]". Also, Bob Barbas is a "Discount [[Series/TheOReillyFactor Bill O'Reilly]]".
** In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', narrator refers to Stryker as a "Discount Wrestling/JohnCena."
** "Discount Predator Vision". Detective Mode in ''Batman: Arkham'' series and Hacker Vision in ''Watch Dogs'' are called by that name.

-->'''Narrator:''' If this ending was any more random and unexpected, it'd be like [[Creator/SamuelLJackson Mace Windu]] coming back at the end of Film/ReturnOfTheJedi and saying, ''[[Film/SnakesOnAPlane I've had it with this motherfucking Sith on this motherfucking Death Star!]]" and then striking down Palpatine with [[Film/PulpFiction great vengeance and furious anger]]. *ding!*
** If some of the playable characters go through stealth sequences in open-world games, they're called ''Franchise/MetalGear Someone''. So far, there are ''Metal Gear [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 Watson]]'', ''Metal Gear [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption Marston]]'' and ''Metal Gear [[VideoGame/LifeIsStrange Max]]''.

* BadassBaritone: Not quite the level of [[WebVideo/HonestTrailers Jon Bailey]], but the narrator's definitely got one.

* ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs''
