In Back 4 Blood, the first Breaker the campaign introduces just smashes out of a random garage. I hate it when I get up to go to work in the morning and my car has been replaced by a Gargantuar from Plants Vs. Zombies.
Haha I just think it's funny that the original sonics punish you for going fast..you have about .5 frames and 2 pixels to avoid enemies and traps coming from the side and it most definitely leads to you playing it cautiously and slowly (obviously unless you're a master of the game) RLMs Rich Evans on Pre Rec had a great video on that
There was the Madagascar game I played when I was younger, they started straight up 4th wall breaking. I remember Gloria said: "Helloooo?? Player? You there?"
The Ghost in Splelunky has some interesting caveats to it. For one, there is a way to stun the Ghost, and that is to use a Camera on it. The Ghost also turns any regular jewels it touches while chasing you into Diamonds, which are extremely valuable.
My favorite was always the trolling from “Ken Griffey Jr.’s Winning Run” for SNES. Wait too long to throw the ball as the pitcher, and the umpire would literally stand up, turn around, tap the screen, and say, “Play the game, kid!”. This happens alongside the crowd going silent and air horn going off as he taps the screen. XD
I remember my first time playing LFD2. I sneaked around corners and after 5 minutes i had a Tank, Witch, AND Jockey who convienently had a plan to split us up. It gave me a new respect and hatred for the AI
@@R77ification Actually the game throws more tanks and witches at you if you're doing too well, not if you're taking to long. Hordes are the what it throws at you to make you hurry up, not to mention the neverending stream of hunters, boomers, and smokers, and in No2 chargers, spitters, and jockeys.
I've actually read "Rave Master" manga and those big butt guys are ACTUAL characters from that title (Jiggle Butt Gang, I believe) who think of themselves are extremely evil, even though none of the heroes give them the time of day. And the "fart thing" from the game is actually their "ultimate technique" within the story as well, so it's a real adaptation of the manga tropes here :D

Worms had a pretty good way of punishing slow matches. For those who don't know, Worms is a 2-D turn-based strategy game where you control a team of little cartoon worms, and attempt to kill the other team with interesting (and often funny) weapons like the Holy Hand Grenade. Anyway, in most of the games in the franchise, going past the designated time limit will trigger the water level to rise a little with every turn. Every level has water at the bottom of it, and any worm that falls in is instantly killed. Late in a fight, most of the land had likely been destroyed, and players will be struggling to keep their worms on whatever land remains. This may or may not come with the health of all worms dropping to 1, while certain death slowly approaches. To make things worse, the game always makes some little joke about the worm that drowned. (The worm's name) sank like the Titanic. (The worm's name) is sleeping with the fishes. (The worm's name) tried to breathe water. You get the idea.
Ah yes...the deadly ghost. My friend and I used to co-op that game. I sucked at the game, but we discovered that my ghost could not only freeze enemies, I could also delay the ghost. Our games just turned into him throwing me onto spikes at the very beginning, because I was more useful dead than alive.
I'd like to point out a favorite arcade game of mine that no one knows about: Snow Bros Take to long on a level, and a pumpkin will appear and start breathing ghosts at you
"it's based on a manga" is actually a good reason to justify that Plue is a dog. or so Elie says. i dunno, i never read the manga but did like the anime.
Well, I have another one: In Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, when you stay on a stage of the Dungeon too long, you will get a message that somethings coming. If you ignore it several times, you get blown away by as strange wind and are out of the dungeon. I always wondered what that was...
that happened in black and white too remember the relic castle after you beat the game? where you get the plates for arceus, or get the relecs to sell for extra money
It's called Mystery dungeon, you being there makes it not so much a mystery. I'm super Mystery dungeon, the game says that the dungeon change every time you enter it and also because the game doesn't want you to grind.
I was gonna say all games should just play the sonic drowning music when they want you to hurry up but then I remembered that it just makes me panic and forget how my limbs work
What about in Persona 3 and 5? In both games, there was an incredibly tough enemy called The Reaper, who would begin to chase you if you took too long on a floor. The only warning you got was the sound of chains, before you saw this terrifying figure closing in on you, with the only escape to be to run to the nearest exit.
Jane: "Those are 7 strange ways games encouraged you with lethal force to get out of here, and now I'm going to do the same to you..." Me: "Well, I knew this day was coming eventually, but I thought we had more time..."
"...that featured such memorable characters as: a mermaid, some kind of penguin wizard, and whatever the hell these things are supposed to be" In the words of Mr.Westaway "looks a bit biological"

You unlocked some memories with power stone 2. I've been trying to remember the name of this game forever. That one fighting game on the Dreamcast with weird stones...
the wolverine one could've been better/scarier if she was constantly following you and you could constantly see how far away she was, and like, if you stood still for too long she'd be able to catch up but if you moved you could leave her behind if you're good enough
I will never forget my time playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, happily exploring the floors for the stairs to the next level. As I’m cruising along, I get a message that “something’s coming”, and “it’s getting nearer” then “it’s even closer” and then I DIED. No reviver seeds help with this, whatever your mission is failed and you have to come back later. I remember being TOTALLY freaked out by this, but it turns out that was just the way the game made sure you didn’t take too long on a floor.
Rave Master was made by the same guy that did Fairy Tail and he took a lot of stuff from Rave Master to do Fairy Tail. Right now he's working on a series called Eden Zero and all the main characters are carbon copies of Fairy Tail characters.
I love how people question something until you say "It's manga/anime" and suddenly everything makes total sense. I also believe Nier Automata has 2 or 3 endings that you can get if you wait around long enough and don't progress the story.
Yo-kai Watch also has something like this! If you mess around with side quests for too long and don’t progress in the main story, Terror Time will happen (aka the world gets all dark and a giant overpowered demon chases you around). It usually only happens at night, but procrastinating for too long will cause it too.
One of my favorites I personally experienced is in a game called Cursed Mountain, the main character chastises you in the calmest voice if you don't trigger any button input for only about 45 seconds, saying things like "this is no time for tea"
There's also Mappy. The screen will tell you to hurry up, the music gets faster as well as the enemies and more cats will be on screen. If the player doesn't hurry up, a coin will appear. Touching it in any way will kill you no matter if you're in the ground or in midair. I haven't tried using the magic doors on it, though.
I remember an arcade game that was everywhere in the '80s in the US, a side-scrolling space fighter game with a bewildering array of buttons... I once played a similar game on an early PC. Being too young to figure it out, I discovered that if I never moved the space fighter, tiny 4-pixel dots would eventually move slowly toward the fighter. They were lethal on contact and dodged everything you threw at them. Because you're supposed to fly toward the right edge of the screen and the rest of the level, like in Zero Wing.
That one health bar fighting game idea isn't bad. You just need a gradually escalating damage multiplier, that's all. Everything does more damage as the timer goes on. Basically a gradually fading-in form of one hit decider. The butt bandits can still come out and fart away the match if nobody's doing anything for too long, though. But they should be punishing tentative overcaution, not genuine back and forth action. This would solve that.
Or have a health bar with an odd number of hitpoints that decreases by 2 every so often, with the extra hitpoint going to whoever lands the first blow. That way there'll never be a stalemate so long as one person gets at least one hit.
Left 4 Dead had a semi-hidden mechanic that acted as a clock. if you spent too long in one area other than the spawn zone/room, it would send a horde at you, separate from the ones the director normally sends, or the ones that occur because you had to press a button to proceed. the idea being that either it lights a fire under your ass, or it chips your health down until you eventually start dying.
*Writes in will* "do NOT tell my family how I died" *during the autopsy* Detective- "Well Doc, what's the cause if death?" Doc- *knowing the lore of the game* "....he....he ran out of time...* *Detective, visually shaken* -" you...you mean the boot..." Doc- "No!...we...we mustn't tell his family... let him off with his dignity.." *Eventually....* Priest "....and we will miss Player One. It was sad to see him go....he was simply.....out of time" Everyone: *Cousin Barry who got Player One the job* "......YOU MEAN HE WAS KILLED BY DEM BUTTFUCK BOYS?!?!!"
The spelunking ghost was actually helpful though if you don’t get cornered. It turns gold into jewels, which is very helpful if you don’t murder shopkeepers.
The ghost in Spelunky remind me of the Hall Monsters in Venture, a retro classic on the Coleco Vision back in the early 80s. Your character was a smiley face with a bow, battling monsters for treasure. Linger too long in a room, and an unkillable Hall Monster with a chant that was quite scary to my eight-year-old self comes in and kills you.
what about the pokemon mystery dungeon games? where if you spend too much time on any single floor a random wind blows you out of the dungeon and OHKO's your entire team?
Reminds me of the unkillable creature that stalks you in Bomberman if you take too long. Or the Reaper (is that right?) in the first or second Gauntlet for the Nes.
I really would’ve been surprised with that Rave master entry, had I not have watched fairy tail and that filler episode with bubble butt gang and Erza. See guys this is why you watch anime, nothing no longer surprises you.
That's not a reason to watch anime. Nothing surprises me because everyone else is predictable because they're human. There actions, thoughts and mental breakdowns has been seen before. Gonna need a better reason than that.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The tutorial teaches you that there's no time limit. The first level teaches you that actually there is a time limit. The following levels completely abandon the time limit until one random level later on where if you take too long, the best character dies.
Can we talk about Azure Dreams and the earthquakes that shake the floor around you apart if you take too long? Of course, the punishment was just going up to the next floor like you were supposed to anyway, but that was still one of the sources of anxiety in childhood that never fully went away.
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale has the Will-o'-Wisps. If you spend too long on any floor of a dungeon, they spawn in and chase you down until you make it to the exit, and getting hit by one does a LOT of damage. The difference between them and most of the other examples on this list is that they can actually be fought and killed--and they drop an item that you need for certain crafting recipes! There's an infinite number of them, though, and the longer you stick around, the stronger they get, so it's only a matter of time before they wear you down...
The one from Spelunky reminds me of Starbound, where if you’re on a moon mining for that purple crystal stuff that fuels your ship, a bright purple ghost thing chases after you the whole time. Most of the time you don’t notice it, but the more you mine the fuel the faster it gets and it can get pretty spooky, because it too is invincible and instakills you.
It isn't about taking too long to finish a level or fight, but this video reminded me of Barbatos from Tales of Destiny. If you spent too much time spinning around and auto-battling, he would eventually appear and insta-kill your entire party leading you to a Game Over. That was implemented to prevent power leveling while you are out instead of properly playing the game.
I *love* Power Stone (1), I don't normally like fighting games but something about that one just clicked with me. I never got the second game though. Thanks for the video.
also like to add in a version of Ace Combat X’s final mission, you need to be fast or else a microwave plasma ball thing cooks your jet and makes it explode
How can you not at least honorably mention Bubble Bobble when it comes to procrastinating? Enemies get angry and go berserk, then a ghost appears to kill you, and only gets faster the longer you avoid it. Like wickedly fast
You forgot to mention that in Spelunky html5/classic, the ghost is much faster and disappears if you are farther away from it. Also, it does 100 damage
Here's 2 more: In Deep Rock Galactic point extraction missions the more time you spend in the level the stronger and more often enemy hordes will spawn. 30 minutes in it's pretty much a constant stream of enemies. In Raid on Bungeling Bay (The Commodore 64 version because i never saw this feature work in the NES version) the enemy is building a battleship that will sink your carrier and shoot at you with homing missiles (making the mission way way WAY more difficult) but it's possible to bomb it while its still under construction to prevent it from ruining your day.
Begore that was also that Lucy's spirit. When i saw that and the jiggle gang i had to rewatch the video to make sure i didn't miss if its fairy tail game or not
You missed robotica. If you cant get through a level, which are labrynthian as is in a certain time frame, the level would send out swarms of "sweepers" that would home in on your location, and kill you. Upon dying you're presented with the only time you ever see your face; in a pretty horrifying state; showing your lifr support has begun to fail. Considering it was one of the more rare titles for the sega saturn, its easy to miss; but also a horrifying way to go out for taking too long.
No mention of *The Reaper* from the Persona series? Notably, Persona 3, where I'm pretty sure it terrified the hell out of everyone who played the game.
Well that's basically every arcade game i remembered tmnt turtles in time doing the same thing as the simpsons but instead u died instantly no matter what health you havr. Splinter would just drop a grenade after time because he apears about 4 times each being faster than the last.
FTL "Faster than light" might make a honorable mention. If you take too long on a map the enemy fleet takes control of the area and all events turn into a fight with minimum rewards for winning.
Persona 3 and Persona 5: Loitering on a single floor of Tartarus or Mementos for too long will spawn one of the strongest bosses in either game - The Reaper.
Shoulda done this with persona 4 as well, where you had to open 21 treasure boxes and then open a treasure box with a shadow in it. And if it didn't have one, it RESETS. Makes it effing tedious getting everyone's ultimate weapons
I know this is gonna make me sound like a “the old games were better” hipster but genuinely newer games ruin the Reaper. In 3 he actually feels like Death itself is on your heels at all times as you had the PERFECT amount of time before he appeared and the fact that you genuinely felt more DREAD than reward over a treasure floor was intense as hell. Then 4 made him nonexistent and even if you went to the extreme lengths to draw him out he was a far far far easier fight, pretty much laughably so, and then P5 seriously upped the time for him to appear and even then lets you just cheese him
@@TheKenchanx apparently it's called Rave Master: Fighting Live in Japan, but they dropped the second half of the title for the NA release. I haven't been able to play the game yet unfortunately since I don't have a console that's compatible with GameCube games :( it just kinda sits on my shelf collecting dust at this point,,
Aye what’s this ? No mention of mass effect 2 when all your crew gets kidnapped ? I Always took to long on that and ended up seeing the doctor turn into purée 😳
That's event-based, not time-based. You're good as long as you don't make extra outings between capture and rescue, not matter how long you spend moping around your understaffed ship before said rescue.
all of these are still gentler than the "you're running out of time and the music is freaking out about it" trope

Gun Toting Stylist wast that the jiggle butt gang from Fairy Tail a manga and a anime.
One of them was. The other was the snowman guy from fairytail as well
@@thecoolgamers1005 I wouldn't know, I've never watched Fairy Tale. I don't have time to watch anime lately and don't foresee it for awhile
Rave Master was made by the same guy that did Fairy Tail and he took a lot of stuff from Rave Master to do Fairy Tail. Right now he's working on a series called Eden Zero and all the main characters are carbon copies of Fairy Tail characters.
The thing that looks like a snowman is a dog
I love how people question something until you say "It's manga/anime" and suddenly everything makes total sense.
I also believe Nier Automata has 2 or 3 endings that you can get if you wait around long enough and don't progress the story.
Yo-kai Watch also has something like this! If you mess around with side quests for too long and don’t progress in the main story, Terror Time will happen (aka the world gets all dark and a giant overpowered demon chases you around). It usually only happens at night, but procrastinating for too long will cause it too.

Sonic: I’m outta here
*jumps off screen*
At least you didn't include the PTSD inducing music of Sonic's countdown timer to running out of oxygen while underwater.
Jesus, man, I literally heard that as I read it.
Have you not seen the video they use that??? I still break into a cold sweat any time I hear it. I've no idea how I coped as a child.
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title! Anxiety level max!
@@Zoso14892 I have. I didn't own a Sonic game back when I owned a Genesis though.
..

Oh no
But seriously, we all went through that experience. And now more gamers do too with the mini Genesis / Mega Drive
One of my favorites I personally experienced is in a game called Cursed Mountain, the main character chastises you in the calmest voice if you don't trigger any button input for only about 45 seconds, saying things like "this is no time for tea"
I guess this is where Jane got her inspiration for her neck time bombs that give a hearty zap whenever the Oxtra crew don't work hard enough.
That's not a time bomb, that's a shock collar. :p
Ah, the Suicide Squad method, of course!
There's also Mappy. The screen will tell you to hurry up, the music gets faster as well as the enemies and more cats will be on screen. If the player doesn't hurry up, a coin will appear. Touching it in any way will kill you no matter if you're in the ground or in midair. I haven't tried using the magic doors on it, though.
“Sniper with a grudge against sonic” let’s just say mario wasn’t the reason Nintendo won the console wars against sega
I want-a you to a-take out the blue one. Make it-a look-a like bad programming.
Plot twist; Nintendo actually developed the Zapper to assassinate Sonic.
Nintendo didn't win, they just survived when the new kids Playstation and Xbox showed up.
Nice job for taking him out! Beer's on me

I remember an arcade game that was everywhere in the '80s in the US, a side-scrolling space fighter game with a bewildering array of buttons... I once played a similar game on an early PC. Being too young to figure it out, I discovered that if I never moved the space fighter, tiny 4-pixel dots would eventually move slowly toward the fighter. They were lethal on contact and dodged everything you threw at them. Because you're supposed to fly toward the right edge of the screen and the rest of the level, like in Zero Wing.
That one health bar fighting game idea isn't bad. You just need a gradually escalating damage multiplier, that's all. Everything does more damage as the timer goes on. Basically a gradually fading-in form of one hit decider. The butt bandits can still come out and fart away the match if nobody's doing anything for too long, though. But they should be punishing tentative overcaution, not genuine back and forth action. This would solve that.
Or have a health bar with an odd number of hitpoints that decreases by 2 every so often, with the extra hitpoint going to whoever lands the first blow. That way there'll never be a stalemate so long as one person gets at least one hit.
Left 4 Dead had a semi-hidden mechanic that acted as a clock. if you spent too long in one area other than the spawn zone/room, it would send a horde at you, separate from the ones the director normally sends, or the ones that occur because you had to press a button to proceed. the idea being that either it lights a fire under your ass, or it chips your health down until you eventually start dying.
*Writes in will*
"do NOT tell my family how I died"
*during the autopsy*
Detective- "Well Doc, what's the cause if death?"
Doc- *knowing the lore of the game*
"....he....he ran out of time...*
*Detective, visually shaken* -" you...you mean the boot..."
Doc- "No!...we...we mustn't tell his family... let him off with his dignity.."
*Eventually....*
Priest "....and we will miss Player One. It was sad to see him go....he was simply.....out of time"
Everyone:
*Cousin Barry who got Player One the job*
"......YOU MEAN HE WAS KILLED BY DEM BUTTFUCK BOYS?!?!!"
yes, yes he was XD
The spelunking ghost was actually helpful though if you don’t get cornered. It turns gold into jewels, which is very helpful if you don’t murder shopkeepers.
When the Sonic X opening started I got hit with nostalgia waves. Wtf?
It means your brain is infested with nostalgia parasites. You should go play something released less than 5 years ago.
*Hears Sonic X opening. Proceeds to clean off the dust from my flamethrower*
@@tigerwarrior1787 knuckles: Shut up!
@referral madness Sonic X was pretty silly and deep.
@@tigerwarrior1787 did I hear flamethrower! FLAMETHROWER!
The ghost in Spelunky remind me of the Hall Monsters in Venture, a retro classic on the Coleco Vision back in the early 80s. Your character was a smiley face with a bow, battling monsters for treasure. Linger too long in a room, and an unkillable Hall Monster with a chant that was quite scary to my eight-year-old self comes in and kills you.
what about the pokemon mystery dungeon games? where if you spend too much time on any single floor a random wind blows you out of the dungeon and OHKO's your entire team?
Reminds me of the unkillable creature that stalks you in Bomberman if you take too long. Or the Reaper (is that right?) in the first or second Gauntlet for the Nes.
When I first read the title I thought I was finally going to find out what the killer flying dead fish thing is from Bubble Bobble.
I hated that bastard so much.
Ceri Williams His name is Baron von Blubba, and he’s a whale.
@@erinmiller1433 No, it's Skel-Monsta.
I just thought it was some weird ass ghost thing. The graphics in Bubble Bobble are somewhat abstract.
Games like wolverine when a immortal dies:HOW IS THERE DYING EVERY MOVIE HE HEALS INSTANTANISLY
I really would’ve been surprised with that Rave master entry, had I not have watched fairy tail and that filler episode with bubble butt gang and Erza.
See guys this is why you watch anime, nothing no longer surprises you.
Not true. I was surprised there was a game.
Rave Master saw some success
That's not a reason to watch anime. Nothing surprises me because everyone else is predictable because they're human. There actions, thoughts and mental breakdowns has been seen before. Gonna need a better reason than that.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The tutorial teaches you that there's no time limit. The first level teaches you that actually there is a time limit. The following levels completely abandon the time limit until one random level later on where if you take too long, the best character dies.
2:14 You sure it's not GREEN HILL FROM HERE!?
*insert laugh track*
I am a PERSON 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@mattfahringer148 whoa, what's with the emojis?
Can we talk about Azure Dreams and the earthquakes that shake the floor around you apart if you take too long? Of course, the punishment was just going up to the next floor like you were supposed to anyway, but that was still one of the sources of anxiety in childhood that never fully went away.
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale has the Will-o'-Wisps. If you spend too long on any floor of a dungeon, they spawn in and chase you down until you make it to the exit, and getting hit by one does a LOT of damage. The difference between them and most of the other examples on this list is that they can actually be fought and killed--and they drop an item that you need for certain crafting recipes! There's an infinite number of them, though, and the longer you stick around, the stronger they get, so it's only a matter of time before they wear you down...
Creepy...
The one from Spelunky reminds me of Starbound, where if you’re on a moon mining for that purple crystal stuff that fuels your ship, a bright purple ghost thing chases after you the whole time. Most of the time you don’t notice it, but the more you mine the fuel the faster it gets and it can get pretty spooky, because it too is invincible and instakills you.
It isn't about taking too long to finish a level or fight, but this video reminded me of Barbatos from Tales of Destiny. If you spent too much time spinning around and auto-battling, he would eventually appear and insta-kill your entire party leading you to a Game Over. That was implemented to prevent power leveling while you are out instead of properly playing the game.
That Simpsons arcade machine is STILL in Skegness to this day. I always make a point to play a few games when I'm there. So good. Such nostalgia. :')
Random person: Here, Mike, let me give you a hand!
Mike: *AAAAAA*
“We’re the big butt bandits”
Omg I’m crying and shaking rn
no mention of the reaper in Persona? esp in Persona 5 when you wait for 5 whole minutes in Mementos
I *love* Power Stone (1), I don't normally like fighting games but something about that one just clicked with me. I never got the second game though.
Thanks for the video.
The Sonic CD one... I stopped to listen to the past music in Metallic Madness and Sonic just LEFT. Cue one angry 11-year-old. 😂
When you make sonic stand still for 3 minutes
Sonic: aight imma head out
also like to add in a version of Ace Combat X’s final mission, you need to be fast or else a microwave plasma ball thing cooks your jet and makes it explode
How can you not at least honorably mention Bubble Bobble when it comes to procrastinating? Enemies get angry and go berserk, then a ghost appears to kill you, and only gets faster the longer you avoid it. Like wickedly fast
The first time I came across the reaper in persona 3.... was an experience.
7:59 I’d say this was the worst punishment a game could throw at you for sticking around too long.
You forgot to mention that in Spelunky html5/classic, the ghost is much faster and disappears if you are farther away from it. Also, it does 100 damage
"Would it help explain that it came from a manga"
"Ohhh" me as well
Here's 2 more:
In Deep Rock Galactic point extraction missions the more time you spend in the level the stronger and more often enemy hordes will spawn. 30 minutes in it's pretty much a constant stream of enemies.
In Raid on Bungeling Bay (The Commodore 64 version because i never saw this feature work in the NES version) the enemy is building a battleship that will sink your carrier and shoot at you with homing missiles (making the mission way way WAY more difficult) but it's possible to bomb it while its still under construction to prevent it from ruining your day.
8:19 oh no! It's the Jiggle Butt Gang!
CPhT Fluke The phrase “WTF Japan” comes to mind.
They had no business being that thicc tho. 😭😂
Team Jiggle Butt...Pokemon Gen 9 villains?
... oh God, I thought they were created as filler for the Fairy Tail anime
Begore that was also that Lucy's spirit. When i saw that and the jiggle gang i had to rewatch the video to make sure i didn't miss if its fairy tail game or not
You missed robotica. If you cant get through a level, which are labrynthian as is in a certain time frame, the level would send out swarms of "sweepers" that would home in on your location, and kill you. Upon dying you're presented with the only time you ever see your face; in a pretty horrifying state; showing your lifr support has begun to fail. Considering it was one of the more rare titles for the sega saturn, its easy to miss; but also a horrifying way to go out for taking too long.
Jane is the best part of these videos. I mean, the content is great, and the other hosts are also excellent. But... Jane is, well, Jane.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Simpsons hand was made to prevent kids from holding machines while they ate or went to the bathroom.
No mention of *The Reaper* from the Persona series? Notably, Persona 3, where I'm pretty sure it terrified the hell out of everyone who played the game.
I remember the horrors of Ice Climber, still give me chills at night.
What about The Director from Left 4 Dead? He got all sorts of mean if you stuck around too long looking for supplies.
Well that's basically every arcade game i remembered tmnt turtles in time doing the same thing as the simpsons but instead u died instantly no matter what health you havr. Splinter would just drop a grenade after time because he apears about 4 times each being faster than the last.
Nobody:
Sonic: iight imma head out
Weirdos?! That's the Notoriously Evil Jiggle Butt gang! Truly an end too good for the characters in that game.
What about the Reaper in Persona games?
It spooked the shit out of me on my first P5 playthrough
Remember new super Mario bros? Where you had 100 seconds left and it made that scary ass jingle
You forgot about the músic... It gets 2x faster
Thank you for reminding me of Rave Master. The dub anime opening is a certified banger.
You can also rave about the ending.
FTL "Faster than light" might make a honorable mention. If you take too long on a map the enemy fleet takes control of the area and all events turn into a fight with minimum rewards for winning.
Persona 3 and Persona 5: Loitering on a single floor of Tartarus or Mementos for too long will spawn one of the strongest bosses in either game - The Reaper.
UNLESS you're in December
Then you get Santa???
Shoulda done this with persona 4 as well, where you had to open 21 treasure boxes and then open a treasure box with a shadow in it. And if it didn't have one, it RESETS. Makes it effing tedious getting everyone's ultimate weapons
I know this is gonna make me sound like a “the old games were better” hipster but genuinely newer games ruin the Reaper. In 3 he actually feels like Death itself is on your heels at all times as you had the PERFECT amount of time before he appeared and the fact that you genuinely felt more DREAD than reward over a treasure floor was intense as hell. Then 4 made him nonexistent and even if you went to the extreme lengths to draw him out he was a far far far easier fight, pretty much laughably so, and then P5 seriously upped the time for him to appear and even then lets you just cheese him
The legend of Zelda Majora’s mask should be on here, the whole game’s on a time limit, which the moon then crashes down onto clock town
The weeb in me is crying as I love rave master and didnt even know it had a game
Same. It looks good too i think
It has a couple of games actually, I have one of them for GameCube, don't remember the title tho;;;
@@AkumaDayo It's just called Rave Master. Plays kinda like Power Stone.
@@TheKenchanx apparently it's called Rave Master: Fighting Live in Japan, but they dropped the second half of the title for the NA release. I haven't been able to play the game yet unfortunately since I don't have a console that's compatible with GameCube games :( it just kinda sits on my shelf collecting dust at this point,,
In all honesty, that was a really great way to bring back Nemesis to the RE series.
Aye what’s this ? No mention of mass effect 2 when all your crew gets kidnapped ? I
Always took to long on that and ended up seeing the doctor turn into purée 😳
You mean Kelly? Pretty sure Dr Chakwas (spelling?) Is the only one who always survives until you arrive.
That's event-based, not time-based. You're good as long as you don't make extra outings between capture and rescue, not matter how long you spend moping around your understaffed ship before said rescue.
