I was fully willing to accept Graug Hunter as a terrible perk without even knowing that about the last gen versions of shadow of war, because it’s just completely overshadowed. There’s a perk that allows you to mount and instantly dominate a graug with shadow strike, for the cost of… two arrows. Arrows that are absolutely EVERYWHERE in-game. It also doesn’t require the QTE!

a personal favorite of mine is fnaf security breach’s hoodie item, which claims to increase stealth. for a variety of reasons, this wouldn’t really be a particularly useful perk to begin with (even though it really should be, given the stealth-based nature of much of the game) but in my admittedly limited knowledge, i don’t believe the way by which it “increases stealth” is actually known, or if the method of stealth increase is actually properly implemented, which it very well might not be, cause dear god security breach was a buggy launch

haven't watched this but undertale is mentioned somewhere

I hate mario in every game related video

I have one: The Earthquake Technique from Tears of the Kingdom. There's never any situation where you'd want to unequip your weapon to use it.

Im locking in my bet this will cover VANS in fallout 4

Dark souls 2 butterfly outfit

I think being able to refund recently spent perk points or having a way to respec all together should be included in every game

This content brings back late 2010s youtube vibes and I love every video

There is an even worse perk in shadow of Mordor; the ability to summon drakes... Simply doesn’t work.

Not sure this really counts as a softlock but I'm still mad about it so why not. In Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, there's a bunch of tokens scattered around the city, I'm talking like 2000+ of them. I waited to the end of the game to open up all the areas, then spent _hours_ combing the city in a grid and collecting them all. Finally, there's only two left, on the top of Fisk Tower. Unfortunately, because I had waited so long, going up Fisk Tower triggers the final sequence of the game, leaving me unable to collect those two tokens as they were in the loading zone and you can't continue playing after the credits roll. So lesson learned, don't wait on those tokens in particular or you can't get 100%.

We used to call these "casual filters"

The last ability you get in Pikmin 4 after rescuing every castaway is the ability to pick up and carry objects like the Pikmin do except your character will only count as one Pikmin in strength and move at the pace of a purple leaf Pikmin. On top of it all to get to this point you have practically rescued everyone and collected every treasure and probably have thousands of Pikmin already.

15:59 YO IS THAT KRIS DELTARUNE IN THE BACKGROUND?

10:19 The captions saying IRS is funnier than it should be

I can’t believe the company behind Shadow of Mordor put a patent on a video game mechanic while taking the core gameplay of other games… When does that legally expire anyways?

can we talk about the roll "upgrade" in horizon zero dawn that makes it not spammable and makes moving around the game without a mount a giant pain in the ass after you get it? Oh and theres no way to reset the skilltree since you can get everything and they're all "upgrades"

Tekken 2: “Wow Kazuya was tough as hell- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT”

Pokémon X and Y had a pretty big one on launch back in 2013. Saving on the North and South boulevards in Lumiose City, the biggest city in the game with lots to do so odds are you’ll be there a lot, and then closing the game would cause the game to freeze upon launching your save file, due to a graphical glitch. Luckily Nintendo patched it very quickly after launch but was a huge deal when the game came out

*that awkward feeling when the likes of Demyx, Goro and Hades can be compared to a trash can* I just find it hilarious, but true, because Junker is pretty difficult (unless you do the Special Attack spam)

You are feeling a little woozy.

No bubble bobble ds?

8:40 I went into Xaldin grossly overleveled so to me he was an absolute pussy. I had so many abilities that just countered everything he did because I forgot to revisit beasts castle until much MUCH later.

My friends played pichu while another friend was pikachu, and they kept acting like pikachu was their dad 😭 he was pretty annoyed I think. So funny lmao, wasn’t there at the party tho (and I’m a kid so there’s no alcahol or drugs get rekt)

As a Wolfenstein II player (looking to beat Mein Leben someday, wish me luck!), that first one about the Throw Back Grenades ability hits home. The MachineGames Wolfenstein series (not counting the newest entries) has an atypical perk system in that you technically have every perk unlocked from the getgo, and they automatically upgrade over time. In Wolfenstein II, you have 18 perks, three of which are unlocked by acquiring certain gadgets, so 15 to start, but regardless. One of the perks in the Tactical tab is "Enemy Grenade Kills" which requires you to kill enemies with their own grenades. To get the perk maxed out you need to get 10 kills. 2 per Perk Level. Now this wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that grenades are extremely small, fly extremely fast, and have an exceptionally small window of opportunity to throw them back (once the explosion countdown begins they are effectively no longer usable). You are most likely to level the perk up accidentally through a normal playthrough, as actively attempting to farm it places the player in a lot of danger, and deaths erase all progress from the last checkpoint. Not to mention enemies are very inconsistent on when they throw grenades versus pushing forwards with their guns. So what is the reward for going through the effort of leveling up this perk? Well, for each level enemy grenades take 0.3 seconds longer to detonate. With a maxed out timer of 4.5 seconds, up from 3. Your reward for completing one of the most difficult perks in the game to complete is making Grenades last longer after they are no longer viable to throw back.

12:25 I got an anthem blue cross ad and I thought it was part of the bit.

Hating on both mushrooms and pineapple on pizza within the first 5 minutes? I see that you woke up and chose violence today.

Here's a short list of useless abilities and items. Naryu's Love Zelda: Ocarina of Time (if playing the game normally in the intended order,) By the time you get to Desert Colossus, you will have already cleared 80% of the game, and had so much health that this [optional] item isn't worth uncovering. Its second reason for being useless is the fact that you cannot use this defensive magic and any other magic-consuming spells at the same time. Mirror Shield Zelda: Minish Cap You have to beat the game to unlock the ability to obtain it, at which point it is worthless because every major enemy in the game has already been defeated. Dominion Rod Zelda: Twilight Princess It is only usable when near ancient statues that can be controlled. Used in only 3 or fewer dungeons and hardly anywhere else. The Final Badge Super Mario Bros. Wonder No. Just no... Why would they do this to us? It's like like unlocking an old meme!

Glad to find another KZfaq channel recycling the same content that KZfaq channels 10 years ago were recycling 🤩

I have a special distaste for upgrades that give you powerful abilities as a reward for 100%, but I've got a special bone to pick with Mega Man 11. After beating the game, you can purchase the ability to get unlimited weapon energy and power gear usage. And they are _expensive._ You might think they'll make the bonus challenges easier, but you can't use your upgrades in challenges and they don't carry over to other playthroughs. So you're basically grinding purely for the sake of buying everything from the shop. And a special shout-out to the spike boots which don't give you immunity to spikes as they would imply. They give you a resistance to "icy surfaces." *There's a single ice stage and none of the other stages have slippery floors.*

21:26 *you mean by Obsidian. Bethesda were just the publishers, not developers. That's why a lot of people prefer it over the other Fallout games lol

DISNEY INFINITY IS THE GOAT

I love wrath of cortex core memory game for me!

Deadass thought the thumbnail was the Conductor from Thomas the Tank Engine

?? So what was splashing in sleeping dogs? A glitch?

I have never used the wrench passed getting a pistol

I just watched your video about unexpected op characters and we are the same height it made me feel better about myself so thank you

12:55 based

Struggling on Junker is a skill issue 😂 no but FR he is a pretty hard boss. As soon as you get the timing though it’s a trivial fight

In South Park: The Stick of Truth, the perk "Let It Slide" seems useful, as it makes debuffs last one less turn than usual, until you realize that the Cure Potion does that instantly and is $1 at the City Wok, and Tweek Bros. Coffee, and is pretty common being found in most chests and enemy drops, even technically being free if you count buying your supplies from Canada, as they use a different currency there,

Also to add more fire to the fuel with Bowser X, he the final boss of an Boss rush gauntlet, he cannot be practiced alone you must fight EVERY X version of the boss you fought as Mario and Luigi and then fight him on a single run and ALSO ALSO, you got freaking turn limit which you must fight 7 bosses in 35 turns.

No matter how bad the game was at launch for Cyberpunk 2077 I always have enjoyed it since December 10th, 2020 (yes I played it since launch & on PS4) such an amazing game glad it unburied itself from the broken state it was formerly in. I Love Cyberpunk 2077

It kind of bugs me that a huge chunk of the Lego Star Wars world isn’t Lego. Just like normal terrain 😢

I didn’t even GET to junker as a kid, you know why? I thought that the archways on the northern edge of the level were walls, so I wasted my time wandering an area I’d already cleared…

dog-o-buh? :(

“Vadeer” is too obvious. You have to call him DARK Vader, they hate that

half of Horizon Zero Dawn’s are basically useless because they’re so contextual. wow i can shoot on a zip line now??? how often am i going to be doing that? 5 times? lol why is this a skill?

Maybe because Bethesda didn't make fallout new Vegas?
