Jules, absolutely 100% serious question mate; would you consider doing some videos that focus solely on building positivity? I suffer from low self-esteem and anxiety with depression and it's a real high point when you sprinkle the little nuggets of positivity at the end, I'd love some more! Really enjoyed the video.
Fun fact: in the unlikely event that you actually beat Charon in hades, he'll let you keep the money and give you a vip card that gives you a permanent discount on his wares. Trust me, this will be VERY important if you plan on doing a max heat run!
I love the new addition to the intro where you say "medieval format" and there's the little dance party with James' dead stare at the camera. It's hilarious
Hey jules just wanna say thanks for the words of motivation and encouragement...... it does help and it means something to me Merry xmas brother Your legendary
Nah, having a little rumble with my mate Charon was a go-to activity for my runs in Hades. Not only do you get a little spare cash and a discount for the rest of the run, but that's all secondary to one of the most challenging and fun boss battles in the game. If I lose? Well, so? Zagreus gets another free trip down the river with his mate and we go again.
Hey Jules how about games that have a timeline that make absolutely no sense? I get that things like pokemon have alternate timelines but what about all the fallouts and Zelda's that have become super convoluted through retcons but still consider previous games as canon.
Fun Fact - I believe in LoZ Link's Awakening, though it may have been a different early one, you can kill the chicken before it spawns the Revenge Squad with a fully upgraded Magic/Fire Rod
It's magic powder. They catch fire and die but using magic powder doesn't register as an attack but I'm sure the rod does. I'm not sure if it's carried over into the remake but on Gameboy it was the only way to kill them.
Fable 3 comes to mind. Unless you're a ruthless capitalist and tax the populous to the point where it's a wonder how they can afford rent, you can't afford the "green" policies and save the kingdom at the same time.
Death stranding should be on this list. If u kill a mule, u gotta gotta dispose of the body which means u gotta carry the dead body on your back and travel quit a way to the incinerator. If you don't do this, the body will eventually cause a void out and will be left with a crater.
Damn Jules ... that hurt. (Qthesorrow) I added The Sorrow to my tag because I did run and gun on my first play through, and got dumped on for that fight. I loved spending a hour dodging ghost and forgetting to use the revival pill and being forced to do it again. From that moment I had a new found respect toward Kojima and the Sorrow for wrecking me so hard for my actions.
What about 10 games where the game changes *drastically* based on your choices. games such as Dragon Age Origins where you can either save anyone and everyone or kill and burn basically everything, including some of your own companions!!
The Warriors - Attacking Warriors at the hideout. Witcher 3 - Killing cows. Dishonored 2 - Robbing Black Market shops Most WWE games - Making heel choices in the story
In Metal Gear Solid 5, Snake apparently learned how to interrogate people _without_ pretending to cut their throats with an actual knife every time. Way fewer slip-ups from then on. Guess that battle with The Sorrow did our boy Snake some good after all 🤔
I've never played Persona but I am happy that it didn't go the "Harems are not only OK, they are desirable" route. It's one thing to have your main character to be likable enough to win over any one girl in the cast. It is another to suggest that the female cast exists to be gifted to said main character.
Uh, sorry to tell you this, but there is an unused version of the harem ending in persona where everyone is okay with it that was found in the files of the game.
@@juggernautthedarkultima6758 Found in the files? So, it's not actually implemented? Sounds like it's not official. It's not that I don't get the draw of a harem. It's just ridiculous. And imbalanced. I'm pretty sure if the Main Character saw the girl he liked joining a harem for someone else; that guy would pretty much be treated as a villain. That, and none the the girls seem to be allowed to date anyone other than the Main Character if they are in the harem.
I'm playing Disco Elysium now. If you find yourself going down the fascism route, you're either doing it intentionally or *really* not paying attention. there are all kinds of red flags telling you not to go down that route. :)
Syphon FIlter was one of my favorie games as a child. I remember doing that and getting absolutely annihilated by the CBDC. Learned not to do that ever again. Then I found cheat codes lol.
I disagree with the Hades entry. The Charon boss fight felt more like a reward for risking your run, it was definitely not a 'punishment' for being 'the worst.' I fought the boatman cuz I love the boatman, dammit!
Hey Jules, here's one I'm dying to see you do, 8 NOT boss fights. As in, they're consider bosses, but you hardly do if anything to them. Examples include Speed Buster from No More Heroes and the Dragon Demon God from Demon's Soul.
one instance in my opinion - MGR Revengeance. In prologue you singlehandedly beat a Metal Gear with a katana, and then send you onto next chapter to be slapped around by second grade enemies. understandable
that poor bike. I have to wonder if James is so hard and abusive to that bike it keeps getting sent to be fixed... or if that bike keeps goin in for upgrades and at the push of a button it can turn into a segway, a helicopter, or a rattan couch.
Another great video, Jules. I am glad that while playing Persona 5 for the very first time (on Xbox, never played the PlayStation version), I only romanced Ann and not the others. The recently released High on Life does something similar for punishing you for being a dick. Your talking guns will complain if you try to shoot innocent NPCs (yes, I am a dick in video games LOL), or firing first on random people who was not openly attacking you first. Both of these happen in the bounties after the first boss fight. One, I tried to shoot innocent teddy bears, and the other was a group of construction workers.
@@AdanRayner no, on easy and normal if you kill the merchant he will respawn if you leave the area and return or go to another area shop but in hard difficulty if you kill him he will not appear anywhere nor will he respawn.
Needs to be said: Syphon Filter 2 is a masterpiece. The first three in the series are great, but 2 is one of the best third person shooter games ever made.
Fallout 1 and 2 did something like this. It punished you for robbing graves (giving you negative karma for each grave dug, except 3 quest based ones) but also killing kids, which not only causes a huge karma drop but also sets bounty hunters on you in random encounter FOR THE REST OF THE GAME. And those hunters? They scale. Oh yes, they start with rifles and jackets, but can become as powerful as power armour and miniguns. The game is somewhat merciful though, as you need 3 kills in 1 and 2 kills in 2, so you get a freebie. Hooooooowever, some kids are bugged, counting as 2 dead kids. But no need to worry if you're in Europe as, due to strict rating laws, children were removed from the game cos turning little Timmy's face into radioactive gloop with a plasma gun was apparently too much for the ESRB. But, again, unfortunately, this breaks some parts of the game that had plot vital children. Swings and roundabouts, eh?
Nah man. I'm going to have to disagree on the all dogs are good part. Because I've met some straight psycho puppies before. And they came out that way. One bit the ear off his sibling at only a few months old. Meanwhile the other 2 pups in the litter were the chillest, cuddliest dogs.
When u getting the bike back its so weird not seeing it hanging there it was part of the show it was our useless item int a room u cant ride it in lol just like a useless item in a game we cant use or dont need but in this case we need to see the bike lol
You know if you beat the merchant in Hades he gives you a discount on all items you buy in the future of said run. So it’s kind of worth it to steal from him
I hate to say it as I am a huge fan of the franchise as a whole especially the older games, but Assassin's Creed games come to mind. Especially the more recent ones.
