Exploding barrels are fun. That's why they are in games.

Did we really need a 20 minute video for that?

Not so fun if enemies are scripted to move close to them...

High quality video from Ahoy. He's a youtuber that does long videos on topics like these. It's actually pretty good.

they are fun

delayed fuses, explosive forces and the like

hl2 sorta went there and re-did that to the highest level

Well, some people In here might not know that explosive barrels are fun in games and need a 20 minutes proof they are

I had no idea myself. All those explosive barrels-less years, man... I can’t get them back, now... but that video helps me get closure at least

 

[TacosNSalsa]

I've hated them in just about every game they are in , Devs , recently at least, like to litter them every where .EVERY.WHERE. Playing the Division 2 now and in a post pandemic world, where humanity is rebuilding, you'd think combustible liquids/gases would be pretty damn valuable, right? Nope , they are all over the battle arenas or whatever ,in the open like Wile E. f*cking Coyote designed it . Its comical and obnoxious at the same time

How about enemies taking cover behind them?

Ahoy is a great content creator and has been for quite some time. He doesn't upload frequently so every time there's a new video out it's a great time. Shitpost elsewhere.

I was able to find just one earlier example means that he went to Giantbomb and there you go.

 

[Danjin44]

Man, I guess I haven’t played any shooters for a very long time. For me It’s been long while to see red barrels in games.

Oh, sorry I didn't think this needed enough time to fill a 30 minute TV timeslot if you added commercials. I guess obvious stuff needs to be discussed at length just because it can be. Carry on.

Well, after watching that video I will never look at the ubiquitous barrel quite the same again! Was well researched and exposed me to different games from the 1980s and 1990s I never knew existed.
I am playing Monster Hunter World and it has barrels... exploding barrels!! But I have not been using them much. That is going to change now, I have been inspired. Carry them on a hunt and place them next to a sleeping monster... BOOM!! he is in for a rude awakening, with damage to boot, he he.

You don't use explosive barrels in Monsterhunter? You are 100% wasting time not using them against certain monsters. Good to use when a mon is sleeping or on a trapped mon.

Yea, what I have been doing is trapping and capturing sleeping monsters, or just waking them up with my long sword and finishing them off with it. But I will bring barrels now and see how I do with them.

Lol. Use barrels to wound mon parts for drops. Also plant all of them down at once. Don't use one at a time. I'm also sure there is at least one mon where you have to use bombs to blow them of the ceiling of caves.

Hopefully Larian chills with that shit in BG3. Having them all over the place just feels contrived and seeing them in places like the middle of a forest is just beyond silly and pretty wack, tbh.

Swen needs to reign himself in on this one.
