7 Times You Made the Game Much Harder by Accident
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- Difficulty levels in games are mostly clearly signposted. Occasionally though we stumble across a kind of unofficial hard mode that will, though never advertised as an ‘alternative’ hidden difficulty setting, unexpectedly make life several degrees harder. Consider these times we made a game significantly more difficult for ourselves by accident, and subscribe for a video like this every Thursday.
If you decided to play as Nosferatu in Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, or Chris Redfield in Resident Evil, or a Level 1 Chicken in Lord of the Rings Online, you will know the shock and dismay of inadvertently signing up for an enhanced challenge.
And if you set your intelligence stat to zero in Fallout? Then good luck to you and your limited conversation options, dummy.

No you don't get it, Chris's pockets are just filled with more muscle, that's why he can't carry as many items
Great big boulder-punching muscles
Sovash Chetty Thats true...
I thought he always carried a few bags of Chris's Blood™ for emergency blood transfusions.
It's pretty simple, it's a mirror image of reality (actual reality not 2010's reality) :P
No Jill keeps the extra two in her bra it's obvious
You also got the title "The Fool" when you successfully crossed the PVP zone in Lord of the Rings Online as chicken
I missed getting that title. Wish they'd bring it back.
We need a full scale LOTR RPG in the vein of Elder Scrolls and The Witcher 3 and such. The Shadow games are fun, but they're very much meant to be played a certain way as opposed to the more open ended style of games.
When you save a game with one hp in a game without healing and everything is killing you
No... What have I done? WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
pigy I’ve put myself in this position so many times
happened to me so much in the god of war series lmao
NaturalOdd that happened to me in half life 2 and it wasn’t even like I could move around or anything and I’m pretty sure it was an autosave and it would literally load and then instantly kill me
@@severablegibbon wow. Talk about bad timing.
In the Japanese version, under the stars cards select screen, Chris is listed as 'Hard Mode' and Jill as 'Easy Mode'.
The best part about being dumb in Fallout, was that in the second game, there was ONE other guy with a low INT score....and you could have a straight, if not eloquent, conversation with him only if you were on the same "wavelength".
In New Vegas, there were many hilarious conversation options with low Int, from "Me deal with bunny hunter" instead of bounty hunter, to "Me shoulder!" or "Me make pizza." or shouting "Ice cream!" at a robot asking for a password... which works. Along with which, you can also have a remarkably coherent chat with an otherwise incomprehensible drunk and can get Arcade Gannon as a companion early as he deems you to need saving from yourself.
That was in a school in Fallout 3. :)
Jeremy Stallings Torr in Klamath lol gotta save the moo-moos from the bugmen hahaha
And don't forget the Idiot Savant perk
Ugh.
Imagine thinking that a vampire form is better than a stealth archer with a crossbow
My man!
Stealth Builds don't mean anything against boss fights
Jargon Madjin yes they do lmao
@@JargonMadjin Shadow Warrior perk says hello.
Pshhhhhhhhh I definitely didn't do that.
Some advice: when you play Hollow Knight and engage in a fight with the Nightmare Troupe leader Grimm, DON'T hit him while he's bowing. He'll screech and immediately start using attacks he normally only uses in his second phase.
DO hit him, because why not
Very interesting, I didn't know that!
Also, it is quite rude.
Cool advice: Bow every single character back by holding down, it gives you serotonin
@@arcadiawhimsies What does serotonin do?🥺
You don't have to become a vampire lord to complete Dawnguard. You could just have Serana capture your soul for the duration you are in the Soul Cairn.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Also, if you want her to turn you into a vampire, for the duration of the soul cairn, you can drop the curse immediately after the quest by talking to the wizard that lives in Morthal if I remember correctly. That option becomes available after you try to talk to any member of the Dawnguard as a vampire.
@@jeffspillerII Falion's vampire cure was included in the base game (since every TES game has had vampires in it, and the possibility of becoming one). The prompt to visit him coming from innkeepers sharing rumors.
Or take the werewolf option from the Companions, and keep the melee advantage with a side of the classic fur versus fang.
@Jeff Spiller or can ask the companions to turn you into a werewolf replacing your vampire status.
@@Zoroark_Master yes
Playing Fallout with minimum intelligence is hilarious.
Worf especially if it was in new vegas
You are awesome Worf
You can also stimulate this experience in fallout 4 by setting it in a language you do not speak.
I remember the playthrough Sips did, it was incredible.
ICE CREAM!
There's actually a way to get through that Dawnguard DLC without vampirism if you need it. It involves soul trapping yourself though, and doesn't involve pointy teeth so you do you.
And then you finally know what in oblivion M'aiq was talking about
And the minus 10 points per stat is not only reversible but also negligible.
kai magnus yeah I was playing a modded game and I didn’t realize how badly coded swing speed increases are, put on the Golden Gauntlets from Zelda and had the dual wielding perk and boom, daggers faster than the game can keep up with. Made the game waaay too easy even with a pickaxe
randomman10396 Advanced Dwarven Crossbow (more powerful than a Dragonbone Bow)+ Fire Dwarven Bolts + a few enchantments and you have easily the strongest hitting ranged weapon in the game. And buying the bolts in bulk from Sorin and Gunmar is really cheap too.
Unless of course you miss the quest giver that you yourself told to come join the Dawnguard and miss out on being taught how to make crossbows, but even then the bolts lying around the fort restock.
Joining Dawnguard in Skyrim
Cons:
Shitty crossbow
Can't be a Vampire Lord
Pros:
*DOG*
I don't need Vampiric powers to be the Kill Daddy of Skyrim
i dont need either to become a god, i only need fortify alchemy and fortify enchanting
Actually you can become a Vampire Lord with Dawngaurd faction
You know... you can just do the missions to get the pimp cane of crossbows and then enhance it with enchantments to make a crossbow that eats out the opposition more than Johnny sins.
All while being a werewolf that's just the vampire Lord without the magic and sundamage.
Thank you for your time.

Well clearly in Chicken mode you just have to *wing* it!
I love your profile pic. Just saying
No, going off half-cocked like that will always come home to roost. You need to hatch your plan carefully if you don't want to fowl it up. Putting all your eggs in one basket and counting your chickens before they hatch is sure to end with egg on your face.
u just had to make that horrible pun..
that pun will ruffle a few feathers
Respectable AF BOO
You don't need to become a vampire to get to the soul Carin, you just have lower stats until you complete a side quest there
Just a empty black soul gem.
That's what I didn't like about the list. They completely ignored the temporary stat reduction being almost nothing (plus using the plants there you can negate the lifesteal effect of the giant black soul gems so your reduced HP is safe). If you become a vampire you gain health and magic, sure, but you also gain a 50% aversion to fire damage, and if you've climbed high enough into the restoration tree an adept pyromancer with a firebolt can one shot you if you haven't invested enough points into your health. Also when you're a vampire your health, magic, and stamina have stunted regeneration when you are outside during the day (75% at stage 3 vampirism and 100% at stages 1 and 2), which basically make you have to carry around Bloodcursed Elven Arrows and Auriel's Bow even if you have only base archery later in the game to negate these effects, and also make a painful grind to farm Elven Arrows late game because everything scales with your level. Once you pass I think level 13-20 range where the arrows appear, good luck trying to find them if you don't have the gold to buy them from Hestia.
Easier. Become a vampire. You find a black soul gem in the laboratory, and there are fissures that auto-fill soul gems once in the soul cairn.
@@davidpotts7116 You can negate most of all of those Vampire Lord detriments by being clever, or simply enchanting your gear. Frost and Lightning damage are not so frequent in the game that they need to be worried about, but you can easily enchant, say a shield, and have plenty of fire resistance to negate imminent death. Also, the Vampire Lords get access to incredibly powerful restoration potions that require incredibly little effort to produce. In addition, the Vampire Lord perks are incredibly powerful versus those humanoids that are actually a threat to you.
Making Gold in the game is a very simple and easy chore. But it is just that: A chore. Buying enough arrows to last for a very long time is child's play once you actually know the game. And once you are a high enough level, you'll most likely be using an entirely different tier of bow & arrow to do your dirty work, which leaves literally any Elven Arrow you find free for transferrance in to a Bloodsoaked version. Auriel's Bow, sadly, is not the strongest bow in the base game it self, although it is rather cool. That's also discounting exploits for blacksmithing and alchemy crafting a bow with -XXXXXXXX damage levels to one-shot anything in the game.
And I've personally never had to once rely on health, stamina or magicka regeneration in the game as a crutch so as to be worthy of any noteworthiness in regards to caring to counter-build the negative stat effects of a Stage 3 Vampire Lord. You can play at full Stage 3 without issues, even on Legendary difficulty at level 80. /shrug
I at least never had any issue playing as a Vampire Lord in Dawnguard DLC or anywhere else, but I also play as an archer or a dw dagger Rogue.
But all of your enchantment buffs on your armor go away when u turn into the vampire lord form otherwise your just a player with extra hassles to deal with

@@deathbykonami5487 wut
16:19 You don’t actually have to become a vampire to enter the soul cairn, becoming partially soul trapped allows you to enter, then you can prioritize recovering the soul gem to remove the debuff, then you can take on the soul cairn missions on regular footing.
In Resident Evil 3, Chris' gun IS on his desk in the Raccoon City PD building.
There is a replica yes, and Barry's is on his desk. But there is a gun on Chris' desk as well.

@@sneeznoodle Melting is basically the Lost of isaac, so I always pick Y.V. Also, i absolutely suck at Nuclear Throne.
In the Dawnguard DLC, I never turned into a Vampire. I used the soul gem method to get into the Soul Carin, which in and of itself is inadvertently putting the game on hard mode, since entering the Soul Carin using a soul gem halves all your stats. Yet, despite that, I prevailed - all while staying a werewolf.
Honestly, doing the soul gem method isn't that bad. Plus, you can get your "soul" back easily enough. I think the video really misses the mark on this one. Playing as a vampire is garbage, plus outside of Serana (who you can convince to become human at the end, if you pick the right dialog path) none of them are remotely likeable.
jane as evil galadriel makes... so much sense
Molly McIntosh - hug me, I'm afraid 😞
Molly McIntosh ELDRITCH BLAST!! ELDRITCH BLAST!!
No, you don't have to become a vampire for the Dawnguard quest. You can become partially soul trapped, which let's you enter the soul cairn like normal. Then you get your soul untrapped later on.
theStonerKid69 Plus one must not forget the crossbows of one shot!
My first time playing skyrim, i turned into a vampire on accident, i had no idea it was happening until well after there was no going back. Made the game SO much harder to progress or do some quests because almost everyone was so scared of my guy. Eventually i was able to find a way to cast some fear spells but it still wasn't 100% effective.
Same for me. I decided to restart my game.
Bro... me too...
there's a guy in Morthal who can cure you from being a vampire. His name is Falion
@@alandriel4267 I feel like I read once you became full vampire you couldn't go back to normal but I will definitely have to check that out, thanks!
But think about how hilarious that was from the character's POV. Just "Why am I thirsty all the time. Why does the sun hurt? Why does everyone run from me screaming? Who can help me solve this riddle?"

That's not exactly an unofficial hard mode.
More like a required part of the game, and literally called hard mode.
I mean that’s just like the other ~80% of the game.

@@sykeassai was it my grammar?
@@IDK-uu9mt "plays on box TV's" Are you saying you don't know anyone who still uses/has a box tv?
But going back to my original question are you saying that you know of an older model box tv that had ports for games consoles? The last couple of generations of Box TV's as far as I can remember did not "pop"
Believe it or not there was a quite literal accidental hard mode in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. You see, when the game was being localized for areas outside of Japan the localizers accidentally labeled the game's "normal" mode as "easy" and "hard" mode as "normal". So whenever a new player started a game and choose to play the game on normal, maybe because it's natural to do so or they're an experienced player, they unwittingly made the game much harder for themselves.
Couldn't help but read that in Rei's voice. 10/10 gaming trivia from the 10/10 best nge girl.
I thought you were going to say that moment in one of the Fire Emblem games where you're looking through random houses to find someone and for some reason, the Black Knight is in one of the houses. I watched my friend play it and he found the Black Knight only for his whole squad to get obliterated
God I loved FE Radiant Dawn. Made me feel like a badass for figuring out how to beat Chapter 2 endgame on Hard (maniac mode) by beating the boss guy instead of waiting out all the turns (for maximum bonus xp)
I thought for sure south park was gonna be on here with their dark skin hard mode
They do make that extremely clear that it will make the game harder tho. It's part of the joke lol
They said multiple times that the skin selection doesn’t actually effect gameplay at all
What about picking the "jew" class? Cartman even remarks that by picking it you and him weren't going to get along
@@gc7109 no, it says that it won't affect combat and will just make your social life a lot harder.
That was just a joke. It doesn’t actually affect gameplay
I 100% disagree with the dawnguard one. The upgraded crossbows are way better than some lame ass vampire perk
yup, besides smithing and alchemy can make crossbows that one shot vampires in Legendary dif, so i don't see why they say it makes the game harder. NOOBS! xD
Couldn't you become a werewolf?
And u can have beast form/vampire lord ability anway
@@maidwithascythe7156 you can get Durhneviihr as a Vampire Lord as well. And you get Auriel's bow. A bow that temporarily darkens the sun so you don't have sun damage. You get multiple powers the vanpiric drain spell and the Drain Vitality shout the first word.

...How is turning into a chicken accidentally making the game harder?

If you really want "unintentionally difficult" in fallout 1 & 2, try playing with minimal luck. Almost every attack you make will result in critical failure, while every attack against you will have critical success. Want to hire a companion and have him fight for you? He'll "crit fail" so hard he turns around and sprays you with bullets. I guess it's your own fault for wearing a giant "13" on your chest.
or low charisma has the same effect as low intelligence but you can still do all the tech stuff at the end
i played FO1 and FO2 with 1 luck but with the gifted perk. i rarely see critical fails.
0 In Charisma, Intelligence And Luck. Now That's Hard.
In Fallout 2 I think Myron "accidentally" shot you in the back in combat regardless of your luck.
It's more annoying (and also lowers stuff like lockpicking chance) than significantly harder unless you sabotage your build in other areas. Crit fails still aren't common. The real problem is you need 6 luck for Better Criticals perk which is the best. Go lower strength and luck, you can still be good with great perception, endurance, agility, int and even charisma.
Another one for Dark Souls, when I originally played the first game, I thought Estus Flasks were a limited consumable item so I was trying to save them for when the game got even harder than it already was, but I was really struggling to get anywhere without them, lol.
Did a run with human Dawnguard, and you can enter the Soul Cairn by giving a part of your Soul up in a Soul gem for awhile and you're all good to go.
No need to become an enemy of both groups.
I like to play Fallout using what I call the Homer Simpson build; no Intelligence, maximum Luck.
Or if you are playing Fallout 4, it's the Phillip Fry build!
(because we was frozen and thawed out after hundreds of years!)
(Just make sure to give him orange hair!)
How did that go?
Karma Gladiator there are a lot of very useful skills you just cannot learn that walls a bunch of stuff off until you get companions, and the Idiot Savant skill in Fallout 4 pretty much breaks the game.
Hell, I finished both original Fallouts with moron characters, it was no harder than normal. Also, I almost pissed myself laughing when I met WhatWasHisName in the first village in 2 (also complete moron, and only genuine conversation for characters with INT
nah in fallout 4 the best is high int high luck when idiot savant stacks with high int the results are insane like gaining 5 levels off a single quest turn in
You got something wrong in the last one. You NEVER have to become a Vampire. When entering the Soul Cairn you can become partially Soultrapped, which can easily be fixed inside.
That's always how I did it, unless I was doing a vamp playthrough, I stay a companion, a wolf.
exactly. but do you think they really are into games?
Yep, I never do werewolf or vampire because I hate third person and they feel like hokey addons to the game to me - like a bad mod.
100% correct the person doing the video need to play and complete the game before making the video and commenting on what he has no idea about 2 for 2 wrong comment on Skyrim in the video, hope the person making the video please stop your wrecking the game thanks
Yeah actually the dawnguard are better across the board. Spells, weapons, companions are all better. The only thing the vamps get is a spell or two that can be used to heal undead, because dawnguard characters can get the vampire lord whenever they want. The only up real upside is maybe the dawnguard won’t attack you while you’re in town
Dawnguard is easier when you're a werewolf and that doesnt require ammunition and you don't have to be a vampire
Why not use spellbreaker and dawn breaker
late 852 Dawnguard rune axe: am I a joke to you?
the main disadvantage of being a werewolf is that you can't use ranged weapons in wolf form.
it's a real pain when fighting enemies who CAN use them.
you also don't get the "rested" bonus when training your skills!
ps: on the positive side, there are some friendly werewolves in Solstheim (the Dragonborn DLC area), who will sell you some interesting magical rings.
the best one (imo) is the one that increases your health regen.
Everyone in bloodlines:Lord! Sweet Jesus!
Nosferatu: I'm pretty on the inside.
I support that. It's never the face that determines the person.
In fallout, Should have mentioned that if you have a low intelligence companion, the 2 of you have highly philosophical conversations
A crappy crossbow, aka best ranged weapon in the game.
For shame
I wonder if there's a video about those conversations on RUclips. :-)
It kind of sounds like that one part in the first Freedom Force game where you come upon two goons discussing quantum physics in a back alley. "You're dreaming, Louie! You can't just charge a quark and expect it to behave like a positron!" "All I'm saying is that Heisenberg's First Principle clearly states that...uh oh. Superheroes! Get in character!" "I smash you good!" "Hey! Hey, you!"
Something like that. :-)
I miss the old fallout games, gems like this make it worthwhile to play through again
Best ranged weapon in the game is the Thu'um.
"You'll become a vampire anyway" uh.... nope?? LMAO. Spent the entire quest as a werewolf
Not to mention the cross bow is a super powerful weapon and you can basically craft infinite ammo using the dawnguard's smithy (there's free iron there all the time) so pfff
Not to mention the spells and Dawnguard Weaponry... the Runic stuff, I believe...
The dawnguard is cancer. Join the Volkihar or be devoured.

How did you forget Silent Hill: the Room? In a game where you need to pick up just about anything to help yourself. The villain offers you an item. Once you put that item in your storage it becomes permanently haunted and injures you every time you open storage again.
John Woodall Wait, that’s a choice? I watched Nitro Rad’s review, and it seems like the Room becoming haunted is a story moment you can’t get out of.
Ise no Kami the Room does get haunted by itself. But the locker does not get haunted unless you put the strange doll item into it.
For my first playthrough of Silent Hill: The Room, I never realized what the candles should be used for. Does that count for unintentional hard mode?
g40rc378 yes. I would say so.
Being a Dawnguard wasn't hard at all if you had a melee character. Sure you don't get the +50 stat points, but it's not like it made it harder than it already was.
Was also not hard if you built a Sniper character: high stealth and archery stats.
Exactly Shine Bee
And you could keep your werewolf from the companions too,
Yeah, I picked Dawnguard since...that was the name of the DLC, didn't expect that to be the 'special' choice...but I had a spellsword with awesome range abilities-build. So a sniper, that could also heal and fight close-combat. So it wasn't hard anyway.
Not to mention the massive armoured trolls you could buy to follow you about
My only Vampire the masquerade playthrough so far has been with the Nosferatu race, and I can tell I enjoyed it a lot :D
Lol I always picked Chris Redfield, I just thought that's how hard the game was.
In Silent Hill 4, a game where you are TAUGHT TO PICK UP THINGS, a guy asks if you want this little doll and then just leaves. If you pick it up you automatically just lose half your health permanently for the rest of the game. And you're only like 20% of the way through the game at that point.
That's what you get for accepting creepy little dolls from sketchy old men. I sure as heck wasn't going to take anything from him.
dude. FREE creepy doll. What was I supposed to do? NOT take it?
Baga got a point here, we're in Silent Hills dammit, how many times players had to go back and check the whole hospital because we forgot to take a thing that's used in a puzzle? I sure wouldn't forget something nearly presented as a scenaristic element
That was the worst choice in my life.
The entire portion on Skyrim is wrong.
1. The game does not become much harder as a Dawnguard. It stays the same.
2. Vampires lose magicka, stamina, and health regeneration in daylight unless they maintain fedness. They also gain a weakness to fire which does make the game harder.
3. Vampire lord is cumbersome and using it in public is a crime. You do not gain 'morph' bonuses while not morphed. Most vampire spells that are useful are utility spells.
4. You are not forced to become a vampire, you can easily do the soul cairn without it and even if you do choose to become a vampire, you still retain access to Dwarven Crossbows and Enchanted bolts.
5. As a Dawnguard that became a vampire for the soul cairn, you can easily cure it as well as get it again later at leisure.
Cute Necromancer Exactly, im glad im not the only one who thought that was wrong
Exactly. In no way is Dawnguard more difficult. Humans aren't automatically targeted for extermination at every city they walk into.
Their saying it was harder confused me as well, as I didn't find being in Dawnguard for that story line any harder than any other part of the game. Being a vampire just sounds like having extra housework that no one but you appreciates.
I can also say that that crossbow is kinda beefy. It's a pretty good jump in stealth archery depending on when ya get it.
The real skyrim hard mode is levelling anything other than weapon / armour skills because all the enemies scale to your level even though you didn’t actually get stronger (levelling illusion for example).
Here's a good one: starting the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4 causes very dangerous, high level robots and robot gangs spawn all over the map. It doesn't help that ADA can finish that fight herself while you just walk past, meaning smart players avoid that entire cell until they're ready to rush that DLC.
Ok the Skyrim one is BS. Especially since you guys literally say that Vampire Lord powers aren't worth it in another video.
Exactly! The crossbow kills most vampires in one hit while sneaking. My advice is to not start Dawnguard until you acquire Dawnbreaker, and have met Parthurnax. This is partly because doing so can potentially lead to you being unable to complete quest objectives for the main quest, thus preventing you from finishing it.
True , they’re giving me mixed messages about the vampire lord form . Is it worth it or not 🤔
@@Valencetheshireman927 you decide. I think that it's worth it. If you're in a mission that you normally can't complete you can change into Vampire Lord form and it becomes easier. You do need to be in your Vampire Lord form often for it to get more powerful. Transform only in caves full of bandits or draugr. And if you have a follower make sure that they see you transform. Then they won't hurt you.
@@Valencetheshireman927 It's not.
@@alexdoorn234 Bro, being a werewolf is better. Because, you get a 100% immunity to all kinds of diseases. On top of that, they have a skill tree lvl. up system(no clue about the Vampire high lord).

"you HAVE to become a vampire because of story...."
*becomes partially soul trapped*
what now?
Christopher Hall
Same thing I was thinking.
yeah its bullshit, you dont have to become a vampire...
While yeah, you don't have to, becoming partially soul trapped does lower some stats, which does make it a bit harder (And thus, does add into the video) but...let's be fair, Skyrim really isn't difficult regardless-
but you can get all your power back in the soul cairn
Christopher Hall Skyrim really didn't belong on the video unless they felt like mentioning the extremely flammable vampires (WHICH THEY DIDN'T :'(
“Poultry reward” 😂 best pun I’ve heard this week.
Atreus It was clucking funny.
I have to disagree emphatically with the segment on Dawnguard. Becoming a vampire imo is not worth all the penalties that come with it. And the crossbow is actually amazing. Once you upgrade it and start getting all the special magic bolts it is arguably overpowered. My favorite bow by a mile. Not the mention the Dawnguard is an incredible faction with all kinds of great followers, shop tenders, armored troll followers, etc.

Maxing out speech in Fallout New Vegas is certainly one, as are the perks that let your flirt your way through the game!
Given how insanely overpowered crafting can be in Skyrim an upgraded crossbow can one-shot nearly anything. Also you can take a temporary debuff to go into the Soul Cairn.
I mean, if your crafting is that strong why would you bother with a crossbow? You could make anything capable of oneshotting everything.
The staggers. Crossbows have an innate stagger chance that stacks with the Power Shot perk. This means 3/4 of your shots cause enemies to flinch in place. Crossbows also have a good long distance trajectory for precision sniping. Combine the two and Crossbows start to seem superior to regular Bows.
And I took that debuff every time. Werewolf for life!
Steven Clark being completely serious how do you get your smithing up quickly in Skyrim early or late game?
Shadow God best way I found was I found the Transmute spell which lets you turn iron ore into silver and silver to gold, then I just kept building jewelry, it gives pretty good smithing xp, doesn't require a huge amount of materials, and as a bonus I would enchant all of it to rapidly build up my enchanting skill. Transmute is a upper mid tier alteration spell so boosting that tree makes it work easier too.
The alien isolation one reminded me of a time playing manhunt on ps2 with the headset. Same deal. IRL sound would alert enemies. So I realized the potential mistake of playing that way when my wife came to ask me about the game I was playing.
Slightly less extreme, but my dad disabled the connect after he got sick of random background chatter being mistaken for "Garrus, grenade!", and other commands in Mass Effect 3.
Undertale: Changing your name to "Frisk." You can't even leave the ruins.
And if you accidentally fight someone without understanding the Pacifist/Genocide thing you fight completely different bosses (and if you Genocide first and then decide to be a Pacifist the second time you play it, the monsters who can control timelines remember you)
Computer Mouse that’s only if you dare save. I’ve beaten hard mode without saving and I reseted without the name Frisk.
hey you dont have to fight sans and its a demo
I was about to mention that! Though, I suppose it wouldn't fully count, since not only is it only a demo (really wish we'd get a full version, even if it was DLC,) but also you are warned beforehand that you're going to activate hardmode by using the name Frisk.
"Crappy crossbow"
Uh, what? The crossbow in Skyrim was one of the most broken weapons I've ever used there, especially the "Enhanced" versions that pierce the enemy's defenses by half. Ammo was plentiful considering you could not only purchase and craft crossbow bolts yourself, but you could eventually get elemental versions of them for added damage.
My goodness, I love Marksmanship/Archery in the Elder Scrolls... Typing up that response gave me such an urge to replay Skyrim.
I believe I'll do that now.
how went the skyrim bingeplay :P
Fantastic! Kept jumping back and forth between my stealthy male Bosmer archer, sword-and-shield male Imperial knight, and lightning-abusing female Altmer mage.
There’s just one problem.
Once again, I don’t want to play anything else because I want to keep exploring and re-discovering locations and events that made me fall hopelessly in love with this game, glitches and all.
Aye. i even downloaded a modded semi-automatic heavy crossbow ;P and made my explosive arrows as a witcher XD
Yeah no joke. The dwarven crossbow was stupidly good
I actually feel like screwing up by becoming the vampire lord, but it was the whole point of my character, so I guess it's ok
Chris isnt the master of lockpicking so he wouldnt need a lockpick. He is the master of boulders.
B O U L D E R
Chris is technically easy mode. Because he can take three times as many hits as Jill.
Think of it as wearing high level armour.
His S&M name is Daddy Boulderfuck.
No, no. He is the master of boulder punching 😂😂
My favorite part is in the remake you can choose to play as Chris with his RE5 bodybuilder character model
The poultry/paltry reward joke earned the video a thumbs up...and the Skyrim bit got it taken away.

“And with a face like that, the artist you’d be named after is Picasso”😂😂😂
Disagree with the Dawnguard one for a number of reasons.
First, playing as a Vampire Lord wasn’t really all it’s cracked up to be. I didn’t really feel like the combat was fun, nor did it make fighting easier. It was a laugh at first, then it got boring. The skill tree was confusing and an added chore on top of all the other shit that piled on me. It certainly wasn’t worth limited strength in daylight and having to remember to drink blood regularly.
Second, the “crappy crossbow” was far more accurate and far more powerful than most other bows that I had crafted at that point in the game. And if you need ammunition, just visit dwemer ruins - every dwarven sphere and Centurion has them.
Third, from a role playing point of view, the ending felt a lot more like a climax if you were a Dawnguard member. You recover Auriel’s Bow, return to the Dawnguard and then, as a team, launch a final assault on Castle Volkihar and kill Harkon. As a vampire, you just return home, fight Harkon and everyone just says “meh, never liked him. Let’s get on with doing evil vampire shit.”
Wattywatasaurus Since when do centurions have bolts on them?
Jedinate6 I think he meant the dwarves ballista
Derrick Meade Nope, still doesn’t drop bolts.
Jedinate6 they don’t? I could have sworn I’ve gotten dwarves bolts off of the ballista after you kill them
Yeah, the story is way better! You can actually craft bolts if I'm remembering it right? And given that the dawnguard smithy is full of iron...
And yeah, the vampire lord seems to suck. Both the werewolf and vampire lord are pretty clunky tbh (maybe it's the forced third person) and the only reason i tried vampire lord was because there's an achievement for the perks... which is a PAIN
Here's another hard game mode: Having a conversation with someone whose name you have completely forgotten but you don't want to ask because that'd seem rude.
Caitlin RC my neighbour's kids are always playing out the front yard and sometimes the parents are with them and they always call my name and say hi when they see me... But i can't for the life of me remember any of their names and now I'm too afraid to ask
+5 if you work with them and have to explain that you have a hidden disability, 4 times. 🙈
You say GAME, but...
Life is but a game Jack. We all know this.
This was my entire school life. One time, this girl started hanging out with me and already knew my name, but I had never heard her name. We were friends for months and I to this day have no clue what her name is.
I think playing as a Malkavian also added a harder mode. Not as hard as Nosferatu but still a little hard. It's difficult to choose dialogue options if you can't understand what the hell your character is saying
Yeah, I think the general concessus from the community is that malkavian and nosferatu should be some of the last clans you try but should be tried
My first playthrough was a Malkevian XD I was so confused at first because they speak in a way that is cryptic, or contain references to mythology, culture you need to know to understand. (Referring to the Voerman Sisters as Daughters of Janus, for an example.)
For the record - you do *not* have to become a vampire in Dawnguard - you also have the option for Serana to offer a portion of your soul, which you can get back at the end.
Is just me or is that whole dawn guard segment a bit false when they said you have to become a vampire. I distinctly remember doing the quest they briefly showed, staying human by using a special soul gem or something when going into the portal.
It's that one specific mission that becomes a bit of a pain if you've sided with with Dawnguard: Where Serana takes you to the Soul Cairn.
You just lose like 9 levels in everything temporily- you lose 45 pts of all three states till you find your Essence Gem and "untrap" yourself. Then you're fine. I was even a were wolf killing undead down there for a while.
David North It’s so insignificant that I never noticed that during all three of my dawnguard play throughs. Plus the soul cairn enemies, save for the keepers and the secret reaper boss (whom my father managed to find accidentally), are all in all pretty easy.
How about playing a co-op game with someone who can't remember the controls and throws a grenade every time they try to crouch?
Sticky plasma grenades to the the head?
No. Usually they were frag grenades thrown directly at the worst possible spot.
only 3/4 as bad then
I see...
Bad enough, since there weren't any sticky plasma grenades in the game, though I think that a certain game with sticky plasma grenades was responsible for getting the person in question used to the mistaken controls...
The "Janeeee.
What?
Boo." Made me laugh so hard
Your playing alien isolation with sound detection on and drop the greatest fart ever and the cost is getting your face eaten off
I love that Fallout actually went through the time and effort to make an entirely different dialogue thread for a 0 (or at the least a very low) intelligence character... 😅
Silver Scale Productions contrary to the video, you can't have 0 Int in Fallout. The lowest SPECIAL score is 1 (2 if you chose the Gifted trait), the highest is 10 (regardless of traits).
Back in 2001, Troika Games released *Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura* which had the same feature, where a character with less than 3 intelligence got a different line of dialogue.
So I created a Barbarian styled pretty girl, named Miss Arcanum, complete with a tiara and a pretty dress.
She ended up being a pretty viable Melee fighter, wielding a huge two handed sword.
*And* she was pretty AF, but dumb as a doornail !
It was pretty entertaining. :)
I later made a spellcaster that ended up being the most evil Necromancer in history.
And after reviving the king, and using him as a grotesque pet, he went on a killing spree, murdering ALL towns on the map. At that point, even the chickens attacked him on sight - It doesn't get much more evil than that!
@@Grumpy_old_Boot A bit late, but that is actually a great one for this video's topic. Healing was much harder for a technology-based character because beneficial spells no longer work on you. Poor Vergil, using all his action points to *try* to heal my half-ogre blacksmith.
@@daviddaugherty2816
Nice.
That game had some really interesting concept baked into it's foundation ... I wonder if it will run on windows 10 ?
@@Grumpy_old_Boot Did last time I tried, but that was awhile ago and I feel like I ran into some problem I don't remember .
In the Dawnguard dlc of Skyrim you don't have to become a vampire. You can instead choose to be partially soul trapped which will make your stats slightly shittier but you're still not a vampire. Then you can retrieve your soul back while in soul cairn.
Then again, becoming a vampire temporarely is not a big deal since you can go straight to Falion in Morthal and cure your vampirism after the quest.
jep1st Or you can go back to the companions and become a werewolf again.
That's also an option however you can only reclaim your werewolf form once from Aela. If you get rid of it again then there's no way to become a werewolf again unless you use mods.
jep1st you can become a werewolf however many times you wish. I did it about 5 times already just to test it.
Well according to the UESP website it says: "The Dawnguard add-on allows you to restore your lycanthropy with help from Aela the Huntress. You can only do this once; if you cure it again, you cannot regain yourlycanthropy from Aela. If you restore your lycanhtropy, you will keep all of the werewolf perks you had before."
So that would suggest you can only restrore it once.
jep1st she must be broken then.
I *did* play Nosferatu the first time I played Bloodlines... it is exactly as described and more.
One thing not mentioned in the video, you have to be able to talk to NPCs to get side quests from them, and a lot of NPCs are either human or ghouls who look human. If you're a Nosferatu, everything in the game discourages you from contact with humans. Which means you probably won't play those side quests for the XP, and may find yourself nearing the end of the game without having reached a high enough level to take on the final bosses effectively.
me trying to kill the Demon of Hatred in NG+ Sekiro last night for hours before realising I had the "make it harder" accessory equipped...
The one time I played the first Dark Souls game, I was talking to my friend. I went through the first dungeon thing, and lit my first bonfire (or was it the second?). There was this dude, The Crestfallen Warrior, and he was being all insulting to me, like Nazeem in Skyrim. So I asked my friend if the Warrior is a plot essential NPC (wanted to be sure I could actually kill him) and my friend said no. Well, right after I attempt to swing my sword at him, my friend is all like, "But don't attack him, Joe!" Que the next hour of me learning how to parry in order to kill this guy who remembers you trying to murder him after he has killed you, because you're like undead or something, with him saying things like "That was embarrassing! How could you let me do this to you?" I literally put down the controller and went outside for a smoke break, during which he probably killed me like 20 times.
On the plus side, my friend told me that I had the quintessential Dark Souls experience, so there is that. I did feel pretty great watching his dead body fall to the ground, so, trade offs.
I had an uncomfortably similar experience.
On the upside, I can beat him no problem years later!
@@JayTDemi i tried killing an npc (i wanted his sword)

I wonder if playing as a chicken has a coop mode.
Well, I did once escort a chicken from The Shire to the 21st Hall in Moria, via Rohan.
boo, that was clucking terrible
It was a little fowl, I admit.
This pun is under appreciated
Liked for Jane's fowl pun.
I thought it was kinda cheep :D
Boo!.....Boo!

I'm just glad she didn't chicken out of it..
hadders100 Oh My God that was awful! Boo! Boo on you! Boo on your family! Boo!
5:06 his delivery on that is gold lol as always!
Loved the commentary on VTM Bloodlines!
Warhammer Online had a chicken mode too.
If you tried to gank a low level player as a much more powerful character, the game turned you into a chicken for doing so.
However, you could still attack- you just did very little damage to other players, and could get killed in one shot...
Unless those players were also turned into chickens. That made it a fair fight once more!...
Between two chickens.
Whole guilds used to arrange mass chicken fights in low level PVP lakes, Order players were little white hens, Destruction players were horrible undead turkeys.
There were even rewards for killing loads of chicken players, as a chicken. Including dead chickens you could hang on your armor, and a chicken Cape similar to the one in the video.
this post alone makes me want to go out and buy warhammer online!
Except it's a dead game that's why he said everything past tense :(

@@joecirv Weren't the servers discontinued a long time ago?
I don't care
FTL: Faster than Light has some tough ships. Those stealth cruisers sound pretty cool, don't they? Fancy sensors, a slick paint job, and the most useful module in the game from the start! One small problem...they don't come with shields, which you will discover are probably a bit more useful than turning invisible for 5 seconds at a time after getting pelted by asteroids a few times.
It has shields.
(And the main reason that I mention the stealth cruiser is that I've used it a lot. It's tough, but fun. I know I've played the Slug Cruisers, but they didn't really stand out in my memory.)
Oh God, the stealth cruisers are hard! O_O I don’t think I ever got past the second or third system with them. Granted, they’re fun to try to play as, dying a lot is kind of part of FTL, but you’ll not be in for an easy time of it initially.
It's hard enough in the beginning.
i can't even remember the originals, I've had the captains edition for so long which makes everything kinda different
i know the feeling
Back when I was a good boy and played Skyrim the way Todd intended, I discovered the strat to get Sneak 100 at the beggining of the game and doing that made the game extra hard since all the lategame enemy version spawned instead of the weak ones.
I don't even own a console but I'm loving your videos. You guys are hiralious!
it literally said "or Become Soul Trapped". You don't have to become a vampire
Which is the part where it actually becomes harder not to be a vampire, and they skiped it.
I only had a brief panic attack reliving nightmare mode after seeing that xenomorph charge me at the beginning of the video.
i love jane's humour so much, she's the best
>Most of Dark Souls 1
>Can't get past Ornstein and Smough
Oh you poor child, you're only about halfway through the game.
Alcachaz but to be honest: In my opinion the toughest fight in the game.
Zakk Vanish When trying to get his tail, it's definitely Kalameet for me :).
Um, actually according to the guy in the video its ornstien and SMOW, so yeah.
DerpsCantFly I can understand the confusion, so let me clarify. Here, to give yourself some context, read through a bunch of the comments here in the comment section. You'll see tons of dark souls players pointing out just how many mistakes this guy made and how little he actually knows about the game. Clearly, he's someone with almost 0 dark souls knowledge and didn't do any research on the franchise before making this video. Does that at all sound like the kind of person you want to get all your information from? So yes, it absolutely is pronounced "Smo", which is phonological to "sumo".
Zakk Vanish Oh yeah it's definately up there for hardest DS1 bosses, especially if you go into it blind not knowing that when one dies the other gets a buff and full heal. And it's even worse if you miss Solaire's summon sign and try to fight them alone.
Although I'd still argue that they're not the hardest boss in the game. I'd have to give that award to the Bed of Bullshit
I remember playing KOTOR without doing any of the side quests, went to final boss severely under levelled. Would not recommend
I'm more surprised you managed to make it past the two Terentatek on Korriban.
First rule of ANY RPG, do every single thing possible (especially if it nets xp) before the final boss!
DeathIsABishi ah well that was the result of many explosives
MainframeCPU I know that now i was young and foolish at the time
How'd you handle the Saul Karath boss fight?
ohhhhhhhh. i love that song so much... Isolated Chiasm in Blood lines was awesome
The Resident Evil entry isn't an accidental hard mode, since the game says that playing as Chris is recommended for expert players
At what part in the original game did it say that?
That's only in the Japanese version though.
They never told Americans lol
I remember doing the Shire-to-Rivendell Chicken Run in a LotRO Fellowship, one party of chickens guarded by one party of regular characters. It was a pretty epic journey.
I once escorted a chicken from the Shire to the 21st hall in Moria, via Rohan.
DrakeAurum hey I was there!
The fellowship we deserved, but not the one we received.
Escorting a chicken to isenguard was way more challenging than taking a hobbit there, pathetic orcs
I'd much rather struggle through as a badass crusader in pursuit of destroying Molag Bal's horrific creations, rather than not heal or recharge in the sun
I just don't want the crap powers or jewelry I'm never gonna use. Or the weakness to fire and all. Pretty annoying tbh lol
Actually when you finish the Vampire journey they give you a spell to make the sun black ,looks pretty cool tbh
No, its the bow when its used with the blood arrows.
Yeah, if you want to play a whole vampire or werewolf based character, you have no other choice than using mods. Those are pretty good, though.
Better / different models for both, better and bigger skill trees, buffed up stats that make your transformation feel like an actual powerful cooldown, new moon / full moon phases that buff up either vampires or werewolves, a disease spreading system so you can not just feed on your victims but actually transform them to vampires/werewolves as well and last but not least - buffed up dawnguard hunters that immersively track you down and actually pose a threat to you even at lvl 250 or whatever.
Was quiet fun playing as a nord werebear with survival and immersive fauna mods active. Good ol' memories (;
In my 100+ Skyrim characters only 2 were vampire lords, game glitches and can’t do those quests
I did the dark souls 2 one on accident, I went through about 70% of the game, before I found out it was making the game harder, I spent more than a few bosses at around 2 hours trying to beat, getting two shot or 1 shot.
How am I supposed to look master splinter in the eye after that?

The Skyrim entry is false. You can still refuse the gift. Theres an alternate route
and even vamp lord form doesn´t make you THAT much stronger .like a normal mage build will rock this. i mean becoming a vampire CAN get you OP (necromage) but any dull vampire will do for that matter. Actually the vampire lord form won´t even be good because necromage gets your enchantments and buffs through the roof (including your weapon enchantments if i´m not mistaken.) making a sword and board fighter the toughewst Mofo in the world. but true if you join the dawnguard you probably won´t get to get that, but still you can get as broken op as you want in Skyrim. Skyrim is like "how overpowered can my character get? " "as powerful as you want if you take the right drugs to get crazy enough".DAwnguard get´s pretty easy as a destruction mage, any sort of fighter or the man the meme the sneak archer .
Metalhammer1993 i thought the necromage thing was patched tho ?
Yahia Kamaly is it? Haven't tried for a while. Thanks for the info
There is an alternative! I take the pieces of the Razor back to my museum, pay you a generous amount of gold, and no one has to die!
I was a werewolf at the time, so i refused
When creating your Commander Shepard you have to make a choice: do you make them a Soldier for the additional health and weapon damage, an Adept to get all the cool biotic powers, maybe mix and match the two as an Adept or a Vanguard...or spend the next 20+ hours asking yourself why you thought being an Engineer was a good idea as you have the lowest HP of all classes, basic armour, can only use pistols and the decryption and electronics skills doesn't even exist for the two thirds of the trilogy that follow the first game so there's absolutely no bonus for having them anyway.
Engineer Shepard is easy mode for ME3.
Deploy turrets and hide in cover, only popping up to refresh them or pop off a power/odd shot....

Gold! 🤣
It was easy for me to side with the Dawnguard. After all, being a vampire meant you can't regenerate health or stamina in the sun, forcing you to rely on a ton of potions to get by. And that's not mentioning that you can make tons of crossbow bolts thanks to the smithing skill, as well as the upgraded dwarven crossbow.
Seriously, that crossbow was underrated. Totally badass
And u can just go and get ur soul back
If you enchant your armor with regeneration buffs for all 3 resources then you effectively negate the sunlight debuff. OR you can enchant it with only magicka regen and then put points into restoration so that you can use your magicka to heal both your HP and stamina, since being a vampire makes your character undead the "necromage" perk boosts all healing spells cast on yourself.
OR OR you can finish the vampire questline which gives you a bow you can use to block out the sun, thus removing the debuff.
Let's be honest, how often is a Skyrim character in the sun?
Mini Link I'm in the sun most of the time.
