These Protagonists Never Stood A Chance

1. Whoa there, don't go disparaging Sparx, the reason he changes colour isn't just to tell Spyro how many hit points he has, he takes the hits for Spyro, imagine how much harder the games would be without Sparx's protection (not to mention how annoying it is to pick up gems without him).
   Also, as I'm sure someone else must've mentioned, it's stated directly by one of the dragons Spyro rescues that he fears being turned into crystal again if he tries to aid Spyro, plus it's implied that the dragons you rescue a second time in Gnasty's World probably did go there to try and fight Gnasty themselves but just got crystallised again.
   Also, minor thing, but there's 3 bandicoots in the original Crash games (Crash, Tawna & Coco).

2. No Ratchet? Dude was just a mechanic before he met Clank.

3. Dave, what do you mean there is no farting hero? What about Douchebag from the South Park games!?

4. Ellie from the last of us is the best unlikely hero

5. 14:06 Unless you barely missed too much and you legit tried even though you got most of them, when you get the bad ending.

6. It's nice to see Abe getting some love.

7. I keep thinking, but I draw only blanks… Does Shion Uzuki from Xenosaga count, though? I mean, she technically kind of also slightly destroyed the known universe, all in a day's job, but a four-eyes scientific willowy womany-something doesn't automatically make me expect much heroism. And then there were mechs. Glorious, glorious mechs…

8. Mario. But in the PSA universe he doesn't exist I suppose. 🙂

9. I was going to mention ori from ori and the blind for forest. But PlayStation did not get that awesome game

10. "Are there any famous farting heroes that you can think of?"
    The player character from the two South Park RPG's.

11. Oddworld!! Woooopiiiieee!!

12. I think Leon and Claire from Resident Evil 2 can be classified as unlikely heroes. Leon is only 21, first day as a police officer and Claire is a 19 year old college student who's looking for her brother. Against all odds, they survived and even managed to save a little girl's life. Plus Leon and Claire are my favourite video game characters of all time and cant wait for the RE2 Remake to come out 🙂

13. Nath! Thank you! I literally saw the title of this video and thought of INSIDE. The final scene of this game was one of the most satisfying bits of gaming I've ever played, especially after how helpless he is the entire game

14. "Powerless" says nath as the kid shifts a refrigerator….

15. my protagonists who never stood a chance was Dave…. playing ANY horror game. well done Dave. well done.

16. Would Sir Daniel Fortesque be one? Medievil introduced us to Dan as this hero who fought for Gallomere just to then see for ourselves that he died at the first arrow shot in the battlefield 😂

17. Guybrush Threepwood, George Stobbart or Wilbur Weathervane

18. What do you think about sony skipping E3 next year?
    Give your thoughts😁

19. What about Gordon Freeman?? He's just a scientist with likely 0 combat training, only armed with a advanced hazmat suit and has to battle several kinds of aliens and the military in order to survive and prevent the whole thing from escalating.

20. I like how this video is just
    Person A: (describes brutal game mechanic)
    Person B: Sounds like something Rob would have played.

21. Tiny Tank.
    Either you know or you don't. 😉

22. Best answer I can think of is Fiona from Haunting Ground. She really is from start to finish vulnerable and afraid of most things, and yet is able to beat all manner of things, with little but a few kicks, and her trusty dog.

23. Max from Life is Strange. She was just a regular girl sitting in photography class, then boom she got the power to manipulate time and had to deal with some traumatic events.

24. Whats hollies psn name?

25. Wait wait wait!! Sparx deserves way more than: A glorified life bar! In the first game they actually explain that, sparx flies in and takes all the hits instead of you. Untill he is no more, and you are on your last line of defense. Give the dude som creds :p love you guys in PSA <3

26. I've been checking out the Tuesday Checklists recently & you mention one on onsie quite a few times – bring it back as a quick video. I miss Dave v Nathan battles

27. What about Sora from kingdom Hearts. He is a boy from a small island who has to save many worlds

28. Like stream idea: Rob properly experiencing New ‘n’ Tasty

29. Isaac from the binding of Isaac is the most ulikely hero ever . Naked abused toddler who's crying all the time. End of discussion 🙂

30. Best unlikely hero deffiinitly rob

31. with Spyro some of the adult dragons do try to help Spyro, but they fail and get trapped in crystal again. I can't remember if it was in the original (pretty sure it was) but Spyro even asks how they ended up trapped again.

32. I thought someone would pick Peter Parker… I mean random nerdy shy teenager, gets bit, now he has to tangle with petty crooks and mob bosses alike, while dealing with the loss of another parental figure, while keeping what's left of those he loves safe, while going through high school and getting picked on.

33. Hey Holly/Hollie (I don't know how you spell your name), do/are you still working on any games as a primary/secondary job along with working at Playstation Access?

34. They spell that is put on the dragons is so complex … that it goes over Spyro's head! Anyone? 🙂

35. Since someone already wrote Wander from Shadow Of The Colossus, I gonna say ICO from ICO. Who would have thought a little horned boy can actually…..well it's a spoiler but anyone who played it knows what I'm talking about.

36. Got an idea for your xmas lets play. As much as i would love to see metal ger stupid make a return, how about 2 of you play abe new and tasty competing to save the most mudokens in the best time?

37. When I saw the title I hoped Abe from Oddworld would be on this list. Back on ps1 i tried to hard to save all the mudokons and eventually got the good ending. Abe is so unlikely it's amazing. Good pick Dave!

38. Another one to add to the Spyro question list: Why is Spyro the only one who walks on all fours?

39. Hollie has the weirdest taste in video games, but I'm kinda inspired by her love and passion for them when she talks about them…

40. Why is it called PlayStation access when the logo at the beginning says access PlayStation don’t get me wrong I like the channel but it annoys me every time 😂

41. Take a shot every time Nathan says "kind of" and "like" XD

42. I never knew why spyro was the only dragon not turned into a statue. Now I do

43. Ratchet and clank for me he is just a normal Lombax. Sure he gets a lot of guns but before that.

44. Unlikeliest hero.. a goat

45. Katamari translates to "klump" or "clod" as in a clump of sand or clod of dirt.

46. I just beat the first game of the spyro trilogy. 120% 7 and a half hours. I hate the flight levels.

47. What they don't realise is that you save a good 5-6 dragons twice cause they did go after gnasty gnorc which is why you find them a second time in his world.

48. In the new southpark games, those heroes can fart. Bo Rai Cho in Mortal Kombat also has a myriad of toots for heroing
