    As a man that is overweight I want more fat shaming in the games maybe then I would get off my ass and go to the gym

    Vulpes Inculta was not only responsible for everything that happened at Nipton, he was the one who came up with and executed the Searchlight nuclear waste leak, sacrificing two of his own in the process without even telling them. Every playthrough, that colostomy bag gets capped, and I take his hat.

      @JohnSmith-bu5zs Před 9 dny +2

      And the video is incorrect about the aggression trigger, when you come out of your meeting with Mr. House you get the mark of Kaiser from Inculta's replacement, and before then no random or set legion encounter will start hostile. Of course Boone is auto hostile to Legion and will start shooting on sight, so it doesn't matter if you have him with you.

    I always got Leliana, but I only realised I could get Sten on my second playthrough... Or maybe after reloading a save. This also happened with the canine BFF 😂

    Oh I didn't realise people actually skipped going into that inn while playing origins, since it's an RPG my first thought was to try every door and talk to every NPC so I went in the inn and just followed whatever was needed, was close to leaving Sven though but I know he'd be a strong tanky guy

      Normal Mode without a shield is doable. I did a No-Shield run myself last year. I failed to beat True Vaulthunter Mode tho. With enough patience I think I could've done it but the Bloodshot Stronghold was too frustrating for me xd

  • @Belligerent_Herald
    @Belligerent_Herald Před 9 dny +4

    The legion encounter absolutely displays the New Vegas views on choice and consequence. I went in guns blazing because hell if I was letting them get away with that. Took a few tries but I eventually won. And then spend the rest of the game being hunted for my audacity. Worth it.

    • @Jerga27
      @Jerga27 Před 9 dny

      I honestly went years and multiple playthroughs before I found out the Legion could be interacted with in Nipton. The game had just finished giving me a ton of TNT, the people who murdered the town looked like raiders and were just standing there... I mean it was obvious what it wanted me to do 🤷

  • @civilwildman
    @civilwildman Před 9 dny +1

    Note on the Dragon Age entry: As long as you don’t complete one of the treaty quests (Broken Circle, A Paragon of Her Own Kind, or Nature of the Beast) you can always return to Lothering and recruit Leliana and Sten at any time. Still, it is highly advised to recruit them when you first go there do you can have a more diverse options for your team. You’ll likely want Lelia a if you’re not playing a Rogue so she can deal with locks and traps as well as reduce stamina or mana consumption for the rest of your party with her Bardic Song.

  • @jeremyfusenliu3859
    @jeremyfusenliu3859 Před 4 dny +1

    Missing out on Leliana isn't missing out on a powerful party member but also a love interest 😂.
    Also i made the mistake of starting out with Mass Effect 3 and that was before the extended endings.

  • @corkbulb2895
    @corkbulb2895 Před 9 dny +3

    Those Caesar's legion assassins that come after you every set period of time in Fallout: New Vegas are really annoying. I usually know when they are going to spawn and can prepare for the attack and see them coming. I often kill all 4 of them before the leader even gets close enough to interact dialogue with me. They also drop some SWEET gear worth a lot of money. However, at lower levels, they are WAY overpowered and usually kill you. Saving near the time where they attack you can ruin your save file and basically softlock the save file because you die soon after reloading. Quite a pain.
    EDIT: Ghosts n Goblins knife ain't got nothing on Doom's shotgun.

    I've done Dragon Age runs without Leliana or sten. Didn't notice any difference in difficulty. Of course I was usually a rogue for the lock picking when I did that. So I suppose if you can't lockpick that would make things a bit rough cuz you miss out on some good gear, but otherwise? No issue.

    • @jamesherb4384
      @jamesherb4384 Před 9 dny +1

      origins always the the worst combat of the series. playing a rouge for the backstab ability was actually the easiest way I managed to play the game.

    In Fallout New Vegas, you can actually get a preemptive bombardment of attacks into the Legion Assassin's squad during their very first attempt to end you cos they won't be hostile, until they've come up to you and deliver their dialogue line.

  • @theloshadow5574
    @theloshadow5574 Před 9 dny

    In my first Dark Souls playthrough, when I got to meet Andre I went to go use the restroom and when I got back I headed down to his forge from the nearest bonfire and he started to duke it out with me. Turns out my older brother thought it was funny to ruin my blacksmith and valued customer relationship with Andre while I was away. I didn't know it was his doing until he admitted to it a decade later.

    I expected to hear about some game(s) with adaptive difficulty or whatever it is called. You know, like RE4, where enemies get tougher and you find less resources if you play really good.

  • @maksimtribiani1335
    @maksimtribiani1335 Před 9 dny

    Mentions missing the crafting kit and torch will make the game harder which is debateable. Doesn't mention that the church is where you get the spirit calling bell from Ranni and if you miss that it will actually make the game harder.

    If you want to unlock everything in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, get ready for a brutal ride, as Hard Mode is a lesson in pain. The same can also be said of Mirror Mode in Donkey Kong Country Returns, since there are no recovery hearts, period.

    At the very beginning of Soul Reaver, there's a human vampire hunter armed with a flamethrower. You can avoid him or kill him but if you avoid him the human city will praise Raziel when he visits. If you kill the hunter, then they'll all attack.

    Being unable to complete certain quests in SA for being fat is more like not meeting physical requirements and less like fat shaming. Same way you can't do amphibious assault without training lung capacity.

    Super Robot Wars introduced Dynamic Difficulty starting in Alpha 1. Do well and get skill points by achieving hidden objectives and the game gets harder.

  • @LonewolfOfSD
    @LonewolfOfSD Před 7 dny

    I would add Kingdome Come: Deliverance to the list and not follow the main game missions till you get properly trained in sword combat. I decided to detour and explore Bohemia before following the main quest line and was wondering why I couldn't get the sword fighting down. I did get pretty good at archery though. I finally got to the area where you get the training and had a huge "Ah ha!" moment and felt pretty stupid.

    • @maksimtribiani1335
      @maksimtribiani1335 Před 9 dny

      I wonder is Jules actually played Elden Ring. For one he pronounces Kale's name wrong twice and Kale introduces himself when you talk to him so there is no reason Jules should have mispronounced it. The other thing is he mentions that missing the crafting kit and torch will make the game harder but mentions nothing about the Church being the place where you get the spirit calling bell. If you miss it you won't be able to use spirit ashes. W/O spirit ashes the game is actually harder.

    So Stellar Blade technically either rewards you or punishes you for your own horniness. Eve is an absolute babe of course but is it worth making her as close to naked as possible for an M rating to make the game harder or will you settle for her 10/10 body being in designer clothes that let you keep your shield?

  • @psudodrake
    @psudodrake Před 9 dny

    You are wrong about attacking the Legion at Nipton. Why? Because at a certain part of the game, REGARDLESS as to your faction standing of the Legion, Brotherhood of Steel, & NCR, represenatives of all three factions come to you saying they want to talk to you. Because they all want a piece of Hoover Dam and they don't care how they get it. So even if you don't have the DLC set yet, squat down, whip out that anti material rifle (if you have it) and plink away at those wretched Legionaires.
    The only negative part is that there is a named Legionaire in there, and if you attack them, either you kill him or he kills you, and if you kill him then you auto fail all his quests for the Legion.
    My opinion on the Legion is: "Oh no! Anyways." meme...

If you wanted an excuse to include Elden Ring just say staying in the first dungeon and fighting the boss at the end without leveling up. At least I’d buy that excuse for being a conscious, hard headed struggle.

    • @Seth22087
      @Seth22087 Před 9 dny +1

      Legendary Edition actually changed it a bit, depending on war assets you collect throughout game, they effect ending and available colors. Also they include extended ending, so you learn what happened with people and so on, not so generic as baseline was. Plus few decisions can have direct impact on things, like Earth gets destroyed or not.
      Also spoiler alert... don't show more, if you don't like those.
      In ending with most assets, if you choose destroy, Shepard survives.

      @@maksimtribiani1335 What Culture Gaming being stupid is nothing new. Some examples includes Jess putting Kirby and the Forgotten Land as the number one entry on their list of 10 deceptively innocent video games with incredibly dark backstories, and getting ALL of the backstory of Forgotten Land wrong, because she said that the humans from the Forgotten Land left because the Forgotten Land got destroyed, they moved to Kirby’s homeworld of Dream Land and became Waddle Dee’s. And she said Kirby fans theorized this, which is wrong as the actual theory was that after the humans left the Forgotten Land due to overpopulation, they moved to Halcandra from Return to Dream Land and became the Ancients, which has a LOT more evidence supporting it being true. And then she also said that Zelda fans got confused about the Zelda franchise having 3 timelines and that Zelda fans got more confused thanks to Hyrule Historia. Hyrule Historia actually HELPED Zelda fans better understand the Zelda franchise’s 3 timelines and what us Zelda fans are really confused about is where BOTW and TOTK are in the timeline.
