7 Times You Made the Game Much Harder by Accident: Commenter Edition

we recently recalled the times we made a game much harder for ourselves by accident I mean it would have to be by accident nowhere we doing that on purpose what with the amount we're spending on premium rate hint lines the YouTube comments on that video however revealed that there were plenty more times when you the audience had suffered a similar fate thanks to those Trixie video games here yet more times you folks stumbled across an accidental hard mode enjoy and watch out for spoilers ahead for the following games yes sorry about that had to do a thing see I'm stuck and I need a hint no I haven't heard of the Internet why [Music] [Applause] [Music] Jensen the World Health Organization is advising all augmented patients to check in with limb there's a problem with biochip technology the coaches have been experiencing we've all had them so far I can't determine why you heading to a clinic I'm running a few more tests but since I can't exactly run them on you and we don't know when you'll be back you might not want to wait up to you you know how annoying is when your phone keeps selling you to upgrade the OS but you're busy and also you hate change yeah well imagine that but instead of your phone it's your brain that's the situation in which cyborgs security chief Adam Jensen finds himself in Deus Ex Human Revolution and now it's possible to tell your phone to remind me tomorrow until the end of time it's a bit harder to ignore when it's your central nervous system doing the asking [Music] luckily it seems there's a quick and easy solution to your brain based troubles stop by one of Deus Ex is many convenient limber clinics and get a free bio chip upgrade no more glitching and it probably adds a whole bunch of new emojis win-win except as commenter boring Lex points out installing the chip in Deus Ex Human Revolution is a really bad idea because it turns out it's actually parts of an Illuminati plot to install a kill switch in all augmented people that will let the Illuminati bad guys shut down those Augmented people at any moment moments like for example an already difficult boss fight against history's violent Assadi world's exhibit tell me have you been to a limb clinic lately [Music] No oh yes Jess you figured out our plan [Music] dispose of him Namir and this time do is right yes if you choose to go in and get the biochip upgrade the boss fight against Gerald Amir which is already tough as nails gets way way harder as all of your augmentations are switched off this means your go-to tactic of holding in a corner and spamming the typhoon system isn't going to work this time sorry Adam you should have stayed dead chances he never asked for this still this insidious upgrade is extremely easy to do the adverts were extremely persuasive and the chip upgrade was free free you understand right Adam I'm sure he understands [Music] choosing your starter in a Pokemon game is one of the most monumental decisions of your young life he'll some of us still haven't decided ok narrowed it down to Charmander Bulbasaur squirtle dosa literally the only three choices I see given this choice in pokemon red and blue many of you might have been tempted to go with Charmander on account of how he is a rad fyrelizard and how its final evolution would look right at home on a heavy metal album cover little did we know at the time however that by choosing the cute fire dude we were actually making things extra hard for ourselves at least in the early part of the game as commented tourists as points out choosing Charmander in Pokemon yes it is the coolest of the three and fricken mega evolutions render a topi but the first two gym train as you fight are rock and water so while there are certainly plenty of benefits to choosing Charmander in the long run there's no denying that if Pokemon has any kind of hard mode at all that's it as anyone who's played Pokemon can tell you Pokemon games are a lot like Dwayne the rock Johnson in that they're all about dominating gyms and the first two gyms that you'll be facing in red and blue are filled with rock-type pokémon which are resistant to all of charm and as fire attacks and water type Pokemon whose attacks are super effective against charmander's Bernie Bodie or to put it another way you'll be going to back-to-back gyms in which you're going to get owned due to picking the poke with the cool on fire tail sure things pick up after then but you're really gonna have a much harder time of it if you pick Charmander I got it I'm gonna go with Charmander have you even been listening listen to what I got this from this Galvin a long long time ago here I'll give it to you in real life there is only one course of action when someone offers you a creepy doll hey you want this creepy doll see simple in survival horror video games on the other hand life is different in those things you have to pick up every item you come across right I mean I know it's a horrible creepy doll but what if it comes in handy later that's the line of reasoning that many of us took when we were offered the shabby doll by Walter Sullivan in Silent Hill 4 the room this line of reasoning didn't work out so well for us as commenter John Woodall points out 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 yes at first glance it seems like the shabby doll doesn't do anything apart from look creepy and take up precious room in your inventory store it in the item box in your apartment however and you'll find out it does have a purpose that purpose is to cause a horrible apparition of screaming dolls on your apartment wall that I hurt you every time you try and take something out of your item box thanks dolls it also adds another haunting to the list of hauntings that you need to exercise in order to get anything approaching a good ending and the dolls will keep coming back again and again which is going to be a real problem if you ever decide you want to sell this place [Music] so our advice to you would be don't pick up creepy dolls offered to you by weirdos Mike come and pick up this creepy doll right oh yeah have you even been listening listening to what are you doing out here better Oh Joe you should be in bed I want those feathers what for it's a secret if I get them for you will you go back inside yes I promise who can forget the assassin's Creed to sidequest in which Ezio's mother asked him to collect a hundred feathers in honor of his dead brother who loved feathers or something look I didn't have time to listen to the reasoning I had a hundred feathers to collect dedicated gamers who stuck with this legendarily tedious challenge were rewarded with a special bit of gear known as the outer Tory cape this was a fancy cloak that marked out the wearer as a true master of Assassin's Creed - and which you'd be sure to throw on immediately to show off your skill and dedication to picking up bird garbage from Florentine rooftops but in doing so you're making things a lot harder for yourself as commenter in prior or gamer notes another hard mode is wearing the auditory Cape all enemies remember they want to brain you nightmare yes it turns out the auditory Cape does in fact have special powers those powers being to instantly aggro everyone within a 20-mile radius honestly you'd probably be better off walking around town in a sandwich board that says Rodrigo Borgia is a dick so yeah good luck getting anything done while wearing this cape you spent hours unlocking I mean unless the thing you're trying to get done is get hacked up by a bunch of furious guards that's gonna be a lot easier [Music] the character you play as in undertale is intentionally pretty blank allowing you to project yourself into the role or possibly distance yourself from your actions if you're attempting a genocide run not that we ever did that that's Jane save if anyone asks that said the character does have an actual name which you will find out at the end of a true pacifist run that name being frisked upon learning this you might be tempted to enter the name for the Fallen human at the start of the game as frisk but if you do you're asking for a world of trouble as noted by common to Steven Fisher who suggested naming the child frisk in undertale steven brings this up because doing that activates under tail's hard mode in which puzzles are more difficult fights are much much harder and you can't run away on the first turn and worst of all you can only take three pieces of candy from the bowl instead of four [Music] truly this is the darkest timeline luckily a small annoying dog comes in and stops hardmode at the end of the ruined section of the game meaning you don't have to do the whole game like this still the game is a lot harder for a short while and Flowery gives you a hard time for it and calls you a try hard you didn't say it would be hard mode for my feelings as well undertale prior to the release of supernatural assassin simulated Dishonored much was made about how whether you enjoyed being stealthy and silent or noisy and violent there was no wrong way to play the game except that when people actually got hold of Dishonored it turned out that there definitely was a wrong way to play the game that's all down to the games chaos system which assigns you a chaos level based on how violently and recklessly you play as comment an amicable five says no mention of Dishonored and the high chaos world state weepers are suddenly everywhere in the later levels just because you decided your enemies needed that shanking yes as Namek hub states often in Dishonored you'll decide that your enemies need a shanking however do that too often and it'll raise your chaos level which will start to affect the world in ways that are definitely not beneficial to you remaining alive and undetected a high chaos level increases the number of guards the amount of rats you'll encounter and worst of all the number of weepers you'll come across weepers being the gross shambling plague zombies that if you get too close to them will grab and vomit all over you charming this makes stealth much harder because there are loads more enemies around to detect you which means you'll have to engage in combat more often which means you'll kill more people which means more chaos which means more enemies and so on until presumably you're able to crowd-surf to your assassination targets across a horde of weepers rats and very confused guards also it means you get the bad ending as well the city's feeding on itself now liars and merchants in Nobles like maggots on a carcass soon we'll be nothing left for the rats yes we've given you the ability to teleport across the room and stab someone in the face but please don't do that Thanks [Music] Star Ocean the second story is a late 90s PlayStation RPG that included a mechanic called private actions which sounds much ruder than it actually is what these private actions actually are are the equivalent of RPG shore-leave in which your party visits a town does some shopping get some R&R and chats to each other influencing their relationships to give you positive bonuses in battle or as is the case with one character you come across make the final boss an absolute nightmare as according to commenter Kent emitter in that face when you accidentally release the limiter for the last boss of Star Ocean - just by following a mysterious girl well the mysterious girl in question is Ilya turns out philia is the daughter of the final boss Gabriel and acts as a limiter on his power in the final battle however triggering both affiliates private actions leads to Gabriel killing her and removing the limiter on his powers meaning that in the final boss fight Gabriel now known as in D'Alessio has 1.5 million hit points three times what he has if you just ignore philia he also has double the usual amount of magic points and presumably is in a really bad mood having just killed his own daughter [Music] torture to death crest of annihilation yeah I'm gonna say bad mood anyway look forward to getting owned in this boss fight which is now approximately three times harder all thanks to the fact that you're a bit chatty and enjoy talking to people talking to people who want Gabriel that is honestly it's just annihilation annihilation annihilation with that guy those are some of the times that you accidentally activated a hard mode in video games but if you've got some more suggestions that didn't make it into this video please do put them in the comments below and if you wanna watch more videos up here we've got a video from us which is about levels that you get in basically every game I know what you're thinking water level it's in there check it out and under here is a video from outside extra which is about video game bosses who just had to sing check it out some good stuff in there
