Jules is BY FAR the best announcer for this channel. Every single one of his videos is just a delight to watch. Let me follow up by saying that the others are good, but the sheer enjoyment I get from watching Jules is what keeps me coming back to watch more videos.
Yeah, I pretty much only follow Whatculture Gaming because of Jules. That, and when they do the game shows with all of the presenters competing. I love those.
I remember the Malboro, one of the random status effects it can cause is just reducing a character to 1 HP, which combined as it often was with a poisoning, meant your character would just go on to die at the start of their turn.
I love it when they keep in the more candid parts when filming the script . It made me smile when he was introducing the game and forgot to say it and then remembered. I love it .. Polished scripts are nice but the imperfections make it
12:43 "Some of these games are like climbing up a mountain made of broken glass using only your eyelids" ...I'm absolutely dying here! Just love the script in this video, keep up the great work guys!
This is why I like Jules’s lists: he covers a wide array of games from different eras. Now if it could become a MO for the rest of the crew (especially for Scott and Josh), that would be great 😜
I agree, I count Regeneradors from RE4 as regular enemies as you encounter them multiple times. EDIT: And before anyone starts arguing about the name, here's an quote from Resident Evil Wiki page: "The Regenerador is mistakenly referred to as the "Regenerator" in the English translation to Resident Evil 4, a simple mistake given the very slight difference between the Spanish word and its English equivalent. The "-dor" spelling is used everywhere else." So there. I rest my case.
Lynels, the original Legend of Zelda. Their successors in later 2D Zeldas have nothing on the Breath of the Wild variants, but the original were fast, had sword beams regardless of health and were some of the game's heaviest hitters, nevermind their durability. Clearly, these are the ones that BotW's Lynels get their strength and HP pool from.
Honorable mentions: Deathclaws and Yao Guai throughout the Fallout series, Feral Ghoul Reavers, Super Mutant Overlords, Albino Radscorpions and Swampfolk in Fallout 3, Cazadores and Tunnelers in Fallout: New Vegas, Mirelurk Hunters and Queens, Sentry Bots, Deathskull Radscorpions, Power Armored Raiders, Assaultrons, and Fog Crawlers in Fallout 4. Hunters throughout the Resident Evil series, with their ability to decapitate your character (especially if you don't have a magnum or other powerful weapon on hand), Leechmen in RE 0, and the chainsaw guys in RE 4. The instakill snipers in Syphon Filter 2 caused me much more grief than any of its bosses.
video idea: 10 video game characters that went through incredibly insane amounts of emotional/physical torment (and were barley affected by it) Examples: Marcus fenix (gears of war), noble six (kinda) (halo reach), trypticon (transformers war for cybertron), clementine (walking dead tell tale series)
How about top 10 best robotic game companions? Inspired by the robot in Stray, but there’s also HK-47, Clank, etc. Give our future overlords some love!
When i was younger, the first time i saw Malboro in Final Fantasy i thought it was named Marlboro like the popular cigarette company in America and that was the reason Malboro had the poison breath attacks which at the time also looked like smoke. 😅👍
The Dinogator from Etrian Odyssey 2 belongs on a list like this. This normal encounter monster in the game's final area is on par with the post-game superbosses, the rare (shiny version) even more so, and especially if you get stuck fighting 2 of them at once.
So I know you did one from both of these series, but I've got 2. 1) Magic Pots from Final Fantasy. Especially 12. That gambit system usually has your party auto attack them and initiate battle. 2) Those damn Pinwheels in Dark Souls.
Man I remember the first time I fought a lesser runebear. I killed one of those worker npcs and it turned into a huge bear and scared the crap out of me. Called torrent and no matter how fast I was riding i could feel him right behind me for a super long time.
I usually don't say 'Git Gud' but Chrysalids are like the easiest enemies in all of XCom my guy. Not just are they melee only, and only appear on specific mission types, so you can more than prepare to fight them, but also there are several ways to deal with them easy, most of the time not even having to get anywhere near them. Shotguns and melee focused Rangers in 2 basically shred them
Yeah! you showed Godhand again, damn i miss that game. It really was ahead of the times. Would definitely play a sequel of that game even if just the same mechanics. or just a remake!
borderlands 3 ANNOINTED and borderlands 2 GIANT FLAMMING Thresher. Honestly, those flamming thresher in Borderlands 2 made me put my controller aside and catch for breath.
I remember the mechs in excom reboot that 1 shot anyone you have. I remember my first time meeting them and I had my best guy die for nothing. I wasn't aware they could 1 shot sadly. :(
When I see Final Fantasy franchise, I was half-expecting the Tonberry instead of the Malboro, since depending on the Final Fantasy you are playing, you can equip yourself with Anti-Status Ailments equipment which basically make the Malboros not as dangerous.
I mean... Eggplant Wizards in Uprising, in a way, got nerfed... But then BUFFED WITH TEMPURA WIZARDS and a potential to turn you into fried seafood and GOBBLE YOU UP FOR A ONE HIT KILL.
one of the comments reminded me of an old Apple game i had, "mines of titan". a random encounter with "hunters" will ruin your day. they are technically just people, BUT they have good armor, and the second-best Rifle-type weapon in the entire game. oh, and they can appear in groups of EIGHT. they can easily wipe your team in the early game, and even if you have the BEST armor and weapons in the entire game, you are still nearly certain to lose at least one member of your team... PERMANENTLY. definitely a game that requires "save spamming", like X-Com.
Interesting intro to your channel lol good list. I was hoping I’d see Warmech from final fantasy. That was the worst ever in my memory but haven’t played that last wretched xcom 2 ffs 😬
Great video and love the series! Video idea: Video games with too many mechanics (Think Horizon Zero Dawn. I love the game, but my weapon wheel could have more than 20 options and that's not including different trap types).
when i first played FF7 an came across the malboro i litearrly thought it was a boss that was hiddened an id run everytime because i beleived it was impossible to beat
regular malboros arent that bad in many ff games, not even in 10, however I am only talking about the regular malboro and FF10 also houses the Great malboro, which is just great 👌
Lurkers from resident evil 0....they have a 1 hit ko and since their tongue is so long, it isn't the easiest to out run. U can just kill them but while u shoot them, they can still launch their ugly tongue at u and then it's game over.
Not necessarily hardest to obtain like gears’ “seriously”, but ones that you have to be a god at the game..getting S ranking on every level on every difficulty in Tetris Effect, 100 preventing Crash 4, etc.
Imps in FF 2 are still to me the worst random encounters in the entire series. Malboros are terrible for sure. But a random encounter of 9 enemies spamming confuse on your entire party is borderline unfair.
