Shadow Hearts (The sequel picks up after the bad ending) and Drakengard (technically that secret ending which is a "bad ending" is cannon beginning for the Nier games)
I think there needs to be a list of cool features that have not been recycled. An example, Sid Meier’s Pirates Gold had a aging mechanic that made the game more difficult as you played longer instead of scaling up enemies. And yes, I’ve played sifu but that felt to *me* like a lives system not a difficulty modifier. I would love to see this feature in some of the new massive RPGs. I think it would lend to multiple play throughs.
Other "troll" moments from "Until Dawn": -Same moment mentioned in the list, you could've just collected the totem while investigating the voice without opening the hatch and go through another corridor to rejoin your friends. It's like the waving hand moment early on, you don't have to interact with the obvious bait. -Matt trying to save a falling Emily leads to Matt dying and no information will help you avoid such a fate. You can only stop this by acting in ways players won't like 1) say the "radio tower idea" you came up with is "a bad idea" when it isn't OR 2) basically leave Emily to die to save Matt by jumping to safety.
@@taylorjames14 I loved Emily. I immediately abandoned my game when I dropped her in the grinder and restarted. I didn't even really mind the trapdoor as Emily got out (& Jessica) second try.
@@taylorjames14 LOL I made it my mission to kill Emily when I first played the game because I hated her so much. I've also done an everyone lives playthrough and no, she doesn't get nicer. Even when you manage to save her and she grudgingly shows some gratitude for it, she's still a btch about it.
Thank you, Jules! Your uplifting sign-off is one I've come to rely on to help get through the week. You are doing excellent work with your voice and platform; please never stop the encouraging send off at the end of the videos!
Ha... absolutely nailed the Until Dawn death thought process. I thought that the "trap" was so obvious that it wouldn't actually be a trap, especially having only just learned about the voice mimicry.
Older games that paved the way for new games/game trends. Everytime I watch Jules I end his videos by calling him a big ledge, You truly are and thank you for all the premium content! I came to whatculture years ago and stayed for Jules.
In Guild Wars a girl in the tutorial gives players a piece of cloth as a quest reward. Thousands of players tried to find out its secret and asked the chat what it was for but nobody knew the answer. Because that item was in fact completely useless. All it did was block valuable inventory space. Many years and updates later the developers finally added a quest that rewarded players who kept that useless item. The now grown up girl gives you a weapon in exchange for the cloth.
To be fair about Until Dawn, they talk about how wendigos can mimic their prey's voice right before they go down to the tunnels. This tip actually made me ignore the voice on my first play through, making both Ashley and Chris survive to see dawn. lol
Sometimes I have bad days. Sometimes I feel so low. Sometimes I feel like I'm letting everyone in my life down. Sometimes I feel like I just can't figure out life and it would be better if it was just not.... then I hear Jules tell me to treat myself better, that I deserve to be happy and that I'm a giant ledge that doesn't falter. Jules. Ty for being present at whatculture gaming. Helping me turn this around. Ty Jules
I know someone will remember the grief from this gap in tmnt nes. You fight across a bottom level, get to the upstairs and fight back across the level to come to a small floor gap before the item you need to continue. The ceiling was just above your head and you could barely leave the ground on a jump. I fell in this hole repeatedly trying to get the precise timed jump just to redo the whole building again or die trying for hours of my childhood only to accidentally discover to cross the gap you had to not jump. Only by walking across a hole in the ground could you proceed in the game.
Ok here's an idea. Games that hid its spoilers in their soundtracks. Inspiration for the idea is Tales of Abyss Japanese opening song beginning of the second verse Can't wait for your "secret video"
Dear Jules, a friendly reminder that Clavicus Vile whole deal is about being a troll daedric prince, granting his followers' wishes and twisting them for his own ammusement
The until dawn one didn't get me because I at one time in my life had studied Wendigo. So when I heard the voice I went..."Nope! Nope! They mimic voices nope!."
The thing with this is that, if Jessica is still alive, you get a cut scene of her coming to in the mines immediately before this, giving her an entirely plausible explanation for being there. This means even if you know windegos can mimic voices, it's totally possible that is the real Jessica, and not opening the door will condemn her to death. However, this trick is much less effective if, as in my case, you already knew Jessica was dead. X(
@@Onslaught524 I had the same effect as Jessica was the only one to die at that point. I played safe on the jumping and climbing bits so Mike wasn't fast enough.

What wasn’t the feather collection mission from that one Assassin Creed game on here?Your reward is a cape that make you public enemy number 1 wherever you go
Yeah, and bringing your sweet, rendered-mute-by-trauma momma some damn closure, you insensitive ass. I loved collecting the feathers because it did that, because I'm ADHD and like shiny thing, and because, hey, what's the best way to flaunt your mastery of the game's mechanics that you'll definitely have by the time you finish that quest? Why, putting a giant target on yourself and gleefully yelling "Come get me, you smelly bastardos!" 8D
"Precious breadcrumbs towards a gaping hole of horror"... Like when Jules' mum put an open packet of hob-nobs in her special toy drawer. Since you're going to let that one slide, that's my one per list!
I guess you could say there's a "troll" in the original "Legend of Zelda" on the NES. Someone offers you three prices to pay for some info. If you pay the most expensive, he'll just reply "Wow! You're rich!" LOL Hey, Jules. Just want to say great work from you and James the editor on your videos! 8-) How about a "Tues Your Own Adventure" video about common collectibles in video games. These are usually the ones you collect 100 of to get an extra life. Mario's coins, Sonic's rings, etc.
The best part about Whimsyshire is that once the game was later updated to allow us to access it basically any time (provided you get and build the Staff of Herding), it's by far the best place to collect gems, and apart from that is generally a pretty decent map to run through for regular loot and cash.... also, Horadric Hamburger.....
The biggest troll in gaming was collecting all those damned Korok seeds to literally get a golden turd... I spent so much time. What's never a troll are these videos and the positivity at the end.
Ok. Best part is at 8:00 with the Power Slinky Strings mug, i.e., the only set of strings that have any business being on any electric guitar, anywhere. 💜
There’s loads of trolling moments on Knowhere in the Guardians of the Galaxy game: lottery ticket you can’t reclaim, buying that useless piece of tech, lots of scam funfair games, the kids stealing 1000 coins etc
For me the biggest Troll Moment is in games that over you "Choices" to "alter the Outcome", but in point of fact make no difference what so ever -_- . Far Cry and Bioshock Infinite just to name a couple. As for ideas for list. -Top 10 Games that weren't worth spending money on -Top 10 Games that deserve a Remake/Remaster
If you're playing a sports game from EA expecting great change every year bless your heart! Your paying 60 dollars for the same game with skin changes every year sorry to inform you of the bad news I know it sucks you guys should talk to EA about it and stop buying them until something is done that's just my advice
I was going to bring this up but I was beaten to it. I work at a game store and I question why people buy new sports games and CoD games every year. I compare them to the iPhones of the gaming world. Slight differences (if any) and full price every time. People will buy it because "I need the new [insert name brand here]." Similar with things like Nike Shoes, they pay for the name more than the product. Easy money for these companies. *Edited for a spelling error.
I love the Wendigos in Until Dawn I’m glad they went with the emaciated Gollum on Steroids look instead of the Antler Head depiction. IMHO the Emaciated look is scarier.
I would like to add to the Assassin's Creed shout. I used a really handy online map that someone made, with cookies so it would save your progress, to track my progress in killing all 60 Templars across the game. I visited each location at least 10 times before hitting the internet to figure out what was going on and why I was still missing one. What was happening I hear you all ask! Well; the Xbox 360 version of the original AC had a glitch that meant one of them would never, ever spawn for me. I trawled forums and found people saying "approach the hut, on a horse, from the East, he will spawn behind" and other such suggestions. I must have tried for a good 20 hours to get the spawn. To this day it's still the only achievement I didn't get for that game.
Top games with unique controls that you love or hate, but are thought out good games. For example, Just Die Already, Man Eater, I Am Bread, Katamari, Superliminal

You should do a list of where a side character is better than the main character, either in the sense of being more relatable or just being more friendly
I really liked both Mario 2s. The Doki Doki one was just absolutely weird and indulgent and I loved it, while the "Lost Levels" Mario 2 did a great job of feeling exactly like the first time I played original SMB on the NES, adjusted for years of building skill and platforming. It was a challenge. Not a BS unfair challenge like a Kaizo title, but a fair challenge.
If it hasn't been done yet, one topic that I think would be interesting to explore is game moments and/or events that are scripted unbeknownst to the player. Thinking specifically about The Handsome Men duels from Killer 7, where it's presented like a legit boss encounter, but in actuality the entire thing is scripted and you have no control over who actually wins any of the duels. I'd love to see more examples like that where you're given the illusion that what you're doing matters, when in reality no matter how good or bad you are the result and even how everything plays out is the exactly same.
I remember falling for the Investigate the Voice trap - literally turned my PS4 off exactly as it happened and never played the game again. Never before or since have I been so traumatized by a video game
That thing about Ashley investing the voice you forgot to mention there is a totem nearby. Just saying. You don't have to open the hatch. You can choose to "investigate" just to access the area for the totem.
In Metal Gear 2, I restart the entire game after I thought the game bugged out. It's near the end game, when I trapped in a room without door and the Colonel start to talking nonsense. I restart the game and tried to speedrun after the Colonel said something like "you play game to much, it's not good for your health". By that time I have more than 100 hours in the game, my speedrun did 80 hours. Metal Gear 3 repeated that when Snake got shot and fall in the river. I retried that stage for more than 10 times, don't know what to do. It's the only time when I nearly throw my (just bought new) controller to the wall. I gripped all the button instead, and damn!! one of the button is the secret to continue that frustrating stage. Also I only realized Snake was wearing a mask at the beginning of the game after more than hour of playing, when I found another mask and try to wear it.
I haven't played it yet, so, for all I know, this could be a thing in it. But, on to my comment... about the collecting the flags, in Assassin's Creed. This would be a beautiful mechanic in Black Flag... fighting enemy pirate ships, and then collecting their flags, which is about the highest dishonor I can think of, to basically steal the soul of the ship, as the captain watches. And have the four hundred flags here give you a great ship in return.
Potential controversial idea- games that were made by the wrong company or for the wrong system. Let me explain- the WII U was wretched any way you slice it. However; I think with the dual screen mechanic it would have been perfect for a game like GTA V. Or, I don’t ever want to sully the name of BOTW having spent way too many hours in it. However; I think the leveling and be skills mechanic from Far Cry 5 could have been a cool feature. Now off to coffee and to pray for the sins I just listed.
I have coffee in me now, and I still stand by this idea. Further, I know RDR2 came after the WII U had thankfully been taken out to pasture, the dual screens could have lead to a great experience with the game. Also, Sonic in it’s later years has become a punchline. I would love to see Nintendo make a Sonic game. Yes, I get that this is Mario’s longtime rival but; with games like BOTW and super Mario odyssey for the last gen systems, Nintendo has proven they will work tirelessly to get a game right. I would love the same love and attention to be given to a longtime video game franchise like Sonic that needs quality, and love only like Nintendo can do.
Anyone else reminded about the How the Saints Saved Christmas DLC from Saints Row IV? When you spend about 5 minutes licking the candy cane blocking the door into the workshop, only to find out that when the candy cane is gone, the door’s locked?! 🙃🙃🙃

I haven't played it yet, so, for all I know, this could be a thing in it.
But, on to my comment... about the collecting the flags, in Assassin's Creed.
This would be a beautiful mechanic in Black Flag... fighting enemy pirate ships, and then collecting their flags, which is about the highest dishonor I can think of, to basically steal the soul of the ship, as the captain watches. And have the four hundred flags here give you a great ship in return.
Potential controversial idea- games that were made by the wrong company or for the wrong system.
Let me explain- the WII U was wretched any way you slice it. However; I think with the dual screen mechanic it would have been perfect for a game like GTA V.
Or, I don’t ever want to sully the name of BOTW having spent way too many hours in it. However; I think the leveling and be skills mechanic from Far Cry 5 could have been a cool feature.
Now off to coffee and to pray for the sins I just listed.
I have coffee in me now, and I still stand by this idea. Further, I know RDR2 came after the WII U had thankfully been taken out to pasture, the dual screens could have lead to a great experience with the game.
Also, Sonic in it’s later years has become a punchline. I would love to see Nintendo make a Sonic game. Yes, I get that this is Mario’s longtime rival but; with games like BOTW and super Mario odyssey for the last gen systems, Nintendo has proven they will work tirelessly to get a game right. I would love the same love and attention to be given to a longtime video game franchise like Sonic that needs quality, and love only like Nintendo can do.
Yay I made it for the start. Hey Jules and James
