8 WORST Time Limit Sections In Video Games 

Oh we're just going to not mention the underwater bomb level in the original TMNT on NES? It took me FOREVER to beat that level as a child.

I'd like to point out that the name Caladbolg is not just "random letters thrown together", it's the name of a mythological sword from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. It was wielded by Fergus mac Róich. Final Fantasy likes using names of mythological weapons for some of the weapons in the game, another such example being Excalibur.

I used the Sonic drowning countdown as an alarm clock during my final exams. Helped me wake up every time 😂😂😂😂

What really boils my blood is when you have a time limit to complete something in a game and when you have completed said thing, the god damn timer continues to countdown even though there is nothing you can do at this point other than to hope the game stops the timer before the timer goes out. Take the final mission of Simpsons hit and run. You have to deliver a car under a time limit into a space ship but even when the space ship starts bringing the car up into the ship with some sort of tractor beam the time doesn't stop until the car is In the ship. Or in Kingdom Hears, where you have to beat several enemies under a time limit. But some of the bigger enemies you defeat feel the need to have a whole desth animation before the timer pauses until the next fight

They shouldn't put timers in videogames. Videogames are supposed to be fun and allow people to unwind. Timers stress people out.

Security Hall in Sonic Adventure 2. "Five minutes should be plenty!" No, Rouge, it's not. Not on this kind of level. I hate you!

I know a few jokes in sign language. They're not great, but I guarantee no one has ever heard them.

Another "Worst Time Limit" contender: Earthworm Jim, Down the Tubes part 2.

Labyrinth Zone was a literal Time Crisis.

Ecco the dolphin made me stress panic so much when its damn time limit much like Sonic. Suggestion: Favorite animal companions in videogames.

#8 i've heard that it's possible to cheat that mission, by walking into the building yourself, and killing the workers, before launching the helicopter. #2 there's a really frustrating area in Sonic Mania where you have to go up a vertical shaft full of water, using some moving platforms that have a VERY large chance of CRUSHING you if your jumps are not PERFECT. oh, and there are no Bubbles there, so you get only ONE attempt per LIFE. unless you ENTER the room when the platforms are in just the right spot, you're screwed. ironically, it's much easier when playing as Knuckles or Tails, since you can just fly, or climb the wall, ignoring the moving platforms!

Suggestion: Video games you're better at when you are bad at them (meaning the game being more fun to play or actually somehow easier when the player just can't figure out how anything works)

Let’s talk about the weather; specifically 8 times where the in-game weather blew us away. (See what I did there?)

Psy has been brilliant in the little cuts. The thrown letters into a name bit was brilliant

That underwater sonic alert still haunt's my dreams😂😂

0:18 Imagine feeling called out if your name is actually Alex and you didn't look at the video at this moment to see that it was a game character he was talking about.

Top 10 games harder than they look

Surely I mean surely the Driver 1 garage tutorial has to be in!

I knew the drowning music was coming as soon as you mentioned Sonic, and I STILL flinched when it played. Sega owes us all some compensation.

Idea for next week’s list………… All WhatCulture Gaming lists which have included ‘Spec Ops The Line’. Not sure how long the list would be, but it would bring back memories for long term WhatCulture Gaming viewers who have been dedicated to subscribing and watching for almost 9 years since September 2015. Do it please………………please 👍

Top 10 times videogames let you have one last fun time experience with your companions before tragedy strikes.

There was a timed section in Conkers Bad Fur Day as well with water and electric wires😢😢. List suggestion... 8 games critics hated but gamers loved...

Gonna be honest, the first time I got past that sewer section in the original Ratchet and Clank was due to accidentally discovering a bug where you can clip through the ceiling at one part, allowing you to get out of the map and skip straight to the elevator at the end. It's also kind of funny that you guys used clips from the 2016 game for that part of the video, considering in that version that section is way much easier.

In case this topic is revisited, I'd like to suggest the bathyspheres from the first Earthworm Jim. The things are made of glass (really smart move), and you have to navigate them through tight, winding corridors of underwater rocks. If you crack off of the sides of the rocks one too many times, the bathysphere will break. But fail to dock it at the next station in time, you run out of air. The amount of tries it took to get past that part as a kid was too many to count.

Just for Jules, a list of the Best and badass Bald protagonist and antagonist in video games

- Monaca Circuit in 3D Dot Game Heroes. - Beat Zico in Wipeout HD - New York Minute Hardcore in Max Payne 3 Sheer madness every single one of them!

Okay, Jules, I’m sure you and your neck vein, Jeremy, know the drill by now. RPGs are fun, blah blah. But those of us who played Final Fantasy III/VI, Chrono Trigger, and/or Secret of Mana are grown up now, yada yada. Now that we have jobs and/or families, we don’t have time for a The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or an Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, etc etc. So, we’d appreciate a list of Great RPGs for Working Adults, and so on and so forth.

There are some VERY tough time-restrained missions in Destiny 2, from Zero Hour to Whetstone with combat and platforming issues for you and 2 friends to blitz as quickly as possible. Usially theyre quite tough when they first come out but even after meta strategies there are plenty of players having hardships pursuing the completion in time

Kind of surprised the dam level from the NES Turtles game wasn't on here, but I can see these others being rough as well.

10 games that were before was a thing. For example, Majora's Mask was a time loop game before time loop games were a thing.

2:42 Okay, I'm 99% sure Egg Daddy has a cameo in a certain song of Hazbin Hotel...

8 most brutal gotcha moments in video games

The Doom 2016 Rich get richer rune trial on any difficulty is one of the most infuriating ruins to complete. And when you finally get it is nearly useless, no wait it is completely useless.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought Hard Mode Sewer Escape was nigh-impossible in the Ratchet & Clank remake.

Psyncin' in the Refrain (the Boss psync) from AI Somnium Files. I was so near the end, too. The Princess Kaguya digging section in Okami. I was enjoying it so much until then.

Driving mission 34 sounds like a torture scene from a movie not only do you have to do a full lap on nurburgring. Which can take up to 20 minutes depending on how many laps there are but also having a race handicap which you have to still finish AND win the race. Oh by the way you have to have a perfect lap and cannot under any circumstances go off the track or bump the lead car.Imagine if this was somebody's final test to get their driver's license IRL,but instead of a racetrack you have to do a whole lap on a busy street i guarantee you most people would probably prefer to walk, ride their bike,scooter,skateboard.Or say fuck it take an Uber or any other ride service that's available.

Caladbolg is a mythical sword from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, so it wasn't just a random assortment of letters. It was just Gaelic and it means "hard cleft" or "hard blade") The alternate spelling is Caladcholg.

Video-game minigames that deserve their own spin-off

Honorable mentions: Bombing mission (OG Final Fantasy VII) EGG Bomb from that one level whose name I can't seem to recall (Sonic Superstars) *LITERALLY EVERY WATER LEVEL*

My dad gave up on GTA Vice City because of Demolition Man. After some practice with the chopper and many attempts later, I beat it on my file no problem. And my second and third playthroughs of GTA VC I beat the mission first try. But by then I was *extremely* good at the game and a total champ at flying. Really you just have to get used to the RC chopper controls and stay high enough to keep out of range of the construction workers trying to beat you down.

I actually loved the sewer run in ratchet & clank though, I never had trouble running through it. But now I do Strongly agree with final fantasy x chocobo race...I spent hours and days trying to get this finished. I even was so desperate and irritated with this I tried to find cheats to finish this race satan decided to throw in ffx...

The worst timed section I've ever come across in a video game is in the mission Race against time on Ps2 Spiderman game, in said mission Spidey must fly through the air to a few different skyscraper buildings to disarm bombs scattered throughout the city not only that but each bomb is heavily guarded by kill bots & with such a short amount of time doing this before the bombs go off is painfully agonising

I've done the chocobo race in ten at least twice now, and it took me less than an hour both times (from start including the training levels to finish) while that stupid lightning minigame was always worse to me. Chocobo just took a little luck and knowing what you had to do. 200 lightning dodges is cruel punishment

List idea: Video game powers/abilities that would be bad to have in real life, or video game powers/abilities that would be pointless to have in real life.

The funny thing is that they made it much easier to beat the sewer section in the Ratchet and Clank "Remake" but it's still difficult 😂

I like the Riddler trophies! Not because of the challenge or the achievement points but I'm a big lore nerd and I loved the DC character information

These are awesome!

I did everything in Arkham Knight except the Riddler Trophies. Absolutely no thank you.

Nuremberg and Nurburgring are definitely not to be confused with each other.

The tutorial in Driver (PS1) where you needed to perform a list of car movements in a time limit... and its the first thing you play. Having to reset and try again so you can not only learn how to drive the car but chain all the techniques smoothly in a time limit that was overly punishing... just to play the game. No tutorial skip. I am only mentioning this one cause F1 racer Lewis Hamilton failed it in a RU-vid video recently.

i got so pissed at Sonic during that level that the cops were called on me for screaming too loud

Haha the time puns haha

Psy: "FIVE SECONDS PENALTY!!" Don't know why that made me laugh.

Here's a challenge: Top 10 BEST Water Levels in video games.

How about videogame developers who havent learned from their mistakes. BIG LOVE

No shot out to the Dam level in OG TMNT on NES?

Might I suggest “Terrible Game Mechanics That Only Pad Game Times”…such as the dowsing sections of Skyward Sword

Tidus' weapon in FFX is apparently how you spell "Claymore" in Gallic

Suggestion; Games that gained a cult following after the initial release underachieved. Love ya work Jules. Keep up the good work 👏

He almost called us "s3men demons".

6:57 Oh god I remember that one. So many rage inducing moments. I think I only managed to do it last time because the game glitched and I was somehow able to breathe underwater. 7:39 Isn't this game Teen rated? Not exactly for little children. I played that Sonic game with save states so the underwater parts weren't that bad. I expected Driver to be on here. I guess we already beaten that game into the ground.

Wooow (slow clap) Well done Psy; "Do that, do that now", greatest edit OF ALL TIME

There's one in GoW that's even worse than the one you chose. You pull a lever and have to push a block to reach a ledge. Timer goes off and spikes come up, destroying you and the block

Titan Fall 2. The training course in the beginning of the game. It is the only trophy that is keeping me from the platinum.

Hardest Elden Ring quests that can be easily botched. I've been recently playing through Elden Ring and didn't know that Ranni's doll had a significance until it was too late. 😭

Jules I really like your corduroy jacket. Very snazzy

Good luck with your surgery. Rest and relax to heal quickly.

8 game levels so beautiful you would want to go on holiday there.

The 5 of Mirriam's hidden rose mirror challenge rooms in Blasphemous. FML.

Lmao I just used the batmobile for riddler trophy one

All timed sections are annoying and stress inducing in games 😢

Loving the visual gag at 3:35 Thank beelzeblob for Psy

Top 8 Characters who outstayed their welcome

That Sonic music hit different when were young...and I wonder why my anxiety is so bad

I feel like you missed the Knuckles/Rouge missions from Sonic Adventure 2. I know you mentioned Labyrinth Zone from Sonic 2, but that wasn't a whole timed level.

Top 10 franchises that didn't know when to call it a day

Top 10 video game characters who can survive an apocalypse

I remember that Ratchet and Clank level! I don't know if this counts, but I was playing Spyro The Reignited Trilogy recrently and man, some of those mini games with time limits were cruel!

I seriously feel like I'm the only person in the universe who never had problems with Demolition Man. Start with the top level so you've done the farthest one away before they start to attack.

Top 10 times a video game made you do an unbearable side quest or mission only to give you a truly weak reward.

249 flipping Riddler Trophies in Arkham Knight - with the final boss locked behind the "achievement" - not cool WB, not cool.

9:32 I immediately started panicking because I knew this was coming...

After you rekindle the water element in Ori and the blind forest. That timed section SUCKS

HAIL SLIME JESUS! 8 restaurants in games you'd want to eat at. My pick is to Onett burger shop in Earthbound.

I saw the thumbnail, heard the music, and genuinely felt my seven year old self catapult into near panic. I’m 35 now. 🥲

Can't follow ze editor, for only Jules is the reason this channel thrives!! D: Oh, and Jess too~

I'm shocked that the Dam level from TMNT for NES didn't make the list. I'm stressed just thinking about it!

How about a list of "Best ending's that you had to do the Worst things to get?"

Top 8 favorite mission/level/quest that you always play more than once

Suggestions: List that doesn't have final fantasy, skyrim, or dark souls

Demolition man in Vice city is NOT THAT HARD. Just do the floors in reverse. Top Floor, then 3rd, then 2nd, then 1st. That way, even if your handling of the controls aren't that great, you've done the HARDEST floor first, with minimal enemies, then the most enemies you have is on the easiest floor, and you can just dump the bomb and be done with it!

8 games that make you feel like an absolute boss

Driver on ps1, the tutorial mission.

Hey Jules! How about top X convoluted ways of getting to a boss fight. Like the whirlpools in the second Golden Sun and the path to get to Posidon. Also miss your one per list and These Things Sucks

If you think the Labyrinth water sections were bad, wait till you experience the last level.... that was stress x10000

This was extra funny today
