I would like mention the wieldable forks in Skyrim. Yes, a dinner fork. The item itself weighs less than a pound, attacks as fast as a dagger, and _can be enchanted._ That means you can perform the recursive fortify alchemy-enchanting loop and enchant a dinner utensil with the power to oneshot anything in the game, all while weighing less than an actual dagger.
At that point you may as well throw fortify carry weight on some boots for practically infinite carry weight. Closest to OP useless items I can think of in the game is firewood. It's useless for almost everything other than making arrows(which cost more to make from ore than to buy in shops so why would you bother), until the hearthstone DLC where it becomes required for a bunch of essential things for a useable home(like an enterance hall or garden)
I wouldn't call firewood "overpowered" because of it's important niche use by the game in very specific crafting & building recipes. There isn't any way that the player can manipulate the item itself and exploit it in an unintended manner like everything else on the list in this video, it's just an item in the game that seems unimportant until a you need to craft arrows or want to buid a DLC house.
Jules you probably get this all the time but thank you for your little messages at the end most people drop off doing them after a while, while you always carried on, they deserve a list of their own! Many thanks
I have to say, the first one that came to mind regarding this whole thing are pies in the Castlevania series. Don't underestimate killing Dracula by throwing Lemon Pies, lol.
reminds me of a gag i heard about: in Dark Souls, it's possible to kill enemies by throwing POOP at them. doing this to infamous "capra demon" by throwing them OVER the wall (so it can't retaliate) is REALLY funny!
the eggs in resident evil 4. while they can be used as healing items they are quite useless as weapons...until the salazar boss fight. apparently salazar is allergic to eggs, so hitting him with eggs during the fight heavily damages him to the point where 2 eggs can potentially kill him.
I'm legitimately shocked Ninja Gaiden's Wooden Sword/Unlabored Flawlessness wasn't mentioned here. When fully upgraded, goes from being the worst weapon into the game, to the best weapon in the game.
I‘d argue it fits because of the „secretly“ part. Originally there was no indication in the game that upgrading the bokken (which also could not perform ultimate techniques and did not decapitate enemies) would actually do anything. It didn‘t improve its attack power, you didn‘t learn any new moves with it, and you had to invest an ungodly amount of essence into upgrading it all the way, which, having arguably stronger weapons at their disposal, no sane player would likely do, at least not during the first playthrough, without having somebody tell them about the ULF. And then, at least in the original version, the ULF became basically game-breaking with the low health damage buff.
oh, that reminds me: the Water Pistol in Metal Gear Solid 5. bring that with you when you re-do the battle with the "man on fire", and you can beat him easily.
I would say the fishing rod from The legend of Zelda twilight princess was pretty useless until it made the final boss forget what he was doing and stare at it lol.
He would only stare for a second before the player lifts their head and says: Mornin! Nice day for fishing, ain't it? On that play through, Ganon realized something. It is not he who wields the Master Sword of legend that should be feared. It is he who wields of Fishing Rod of Baelin.
The Broken Giant's Knife is definitely not game breaking. Yes it might have some slight use in a very small section of the game but bear in mind both the Biggoron's Sword and Megaton Hammer will dispatch Dark Link much quicker.
the "game breaking" part would then be about the impossibility to finish the game if you dont have it. i dont have the game so i dont know if you can actually skip it but if you can then it's an assured game over.
@@karhedin It is absolutely game over if you don't have the bubble weapon full on the last boss. One of his stages can only be beat with the bubble weapon. If you die you start with the same amount of ammo you went into the fight with (which is not enough in this case). Even if you turn it off, you start at a point were you can't get any refill. Restarting the game is you only option.
@@civilwildman to be fair, that list isn't exactly narrow. most ultimate weapons, aren't too hard to get, and do enough damage to make them worthwhile. ultimate weapons 100% not worth the effort would make more sense. i mean, hell, FFX's ultimate weapons tend to be a pain in the ass, since you need at least 3 things to make them ultimate, the weapon itself, the first unlock, and the second unlock, and the second unlock's usually a pain in the ass. but like, yunas, aurons, and to a degree, kimhari's and rikkus, aren't really that annoying to get fully upgraded - and their auto BDL and special damage formula, combined with the FFX postgame stuff NEEDING BDL, means if you're doing that, it's definitely worth the hassle to get them.
Suggestion: Bizarre or unexpected Video game romance partners, that you wouldn't have normally thought of. Admittedly, this comes from how long I spent in FFVII trying to get the elusive Gold Saucer date scene with Barrett.
Wait no wait... If you're going to slander the truly pure and beautiful name of Mega Man, then the true correct answer is the Top Spin from Mega Man 3. Totally useless until the final giant Wily bot where it drains like half the boys life bar in one go.
In Ultima 7, you could get a weapon called the "Hoe of Destruction". It was literally a farming tool. But it was also the best non-single-use melee weapon in the game, pre-expansions. Does that count? I don't know, I just like saying "Hoe of Destruction".
Dragon's Dogma 1 had a class of 'rusted' weapons, rusty daggers, rusty sword, rusty hammer, rusty staff, and so on. Their damage was poor, however they had a % chance to inflict the 'torpor' status which cripples a monster's stats. I suppose that's some simulation of inflicting Tetanus. If one of your party has the rusty weapons, or everyone, just attack until it's inflicted, then wail away on it with the good weapons. Magicka had a silly dragon-slaying weapon found very early on in the game that could 1-shot any dragon. It's just a real shame that all dragons had died out. Then, about 80% of your way through the game, you go to the underworld where you fight, a dragon! If you managed to keep that dragon-slaying sword this whole time, it can trivialize a rather difficult boss fight.
The deku sticks in ocarina of time are much stronger then they look because its basically the equivalent of the biggoron sword for kid link. When fighting the second boss king dodongo do a jump attack with the sticks & you'll finish him off much faster then using the sword, ironic that a stick is stronger then a sword when it breaks after using it but hey game logic.
Don't forget about the paintbrush from Oblivion. For those who don't know all items in the gave have gravity with the exception of this one item. Meaning wherever the character is looking the paintbrush will stay floating, this grants the player to then build a staircase and attack from a safe distance or even access areas that are otherwise not possible
I've officially hit "old man" status, on account of how annoyed I get with YT videos now. Can't stand the intros, the two+ minutes of self promotion, bad jokes and sponsor shilling anymore, when all I want is to hear the actual g-d list entries. It's every frickin' channel, every frickin' video now.
Jules your videos and lists are BY FAR the most entertaining and best put together. You can really tell that you’ve actually played nearly all the games you talk about unlike some others at whataculture that you can blatantly tell just read review of it and spit it out as their own thoughts
I believe that's mostly because in many cases the lists aren't written by the presenters. So you will indeed have presenters talking about games they haven't played, because the list isn't their own opinion. Jules does seem to have played every game he talks about though, so either that's the case or he's just really diligent about researching and/or crafting his content when it covers something he hasn't experienced.
No mention of the Boots of Blinding speed in Morrowind? You can't see anything when you wear them, unless you get resist magick. That item makes getting around Morrowind so much faster and it also works when flying.
in binding of isaac, there is the gnawed leaf, that turns you into stone while standing still. seems useless. but combine it with gemini = easy fast free win every battle
Not sure if it counts but in one of the X-Com games (3, I think) you can research the dart pistol. Seems useless until you realize later in the game, (A) the darts bypass the aliens' shields, (B) they're highly vulnerable to the toxin on the darts, and (C) you spam shots like an automatic Nerf cannon. Oh, and being that it's a pistol, you can dual wield them. Late in the game, I just had a squad of soldiers armed with pistols mopping up enemies within a few minutes.
Yeah that's in X-Com Apocalypse. Toxiguns are the most OP weapon in that game. They also don't do too much damage to humans, so you can literally spray and pray even at your team (useful for brainsuckers)
If I recall correctly, there was a quest line you had to do involving you digging up hidden notes that eventually led to you digging it up… fun thing… you could dig it up early if you knew where it was, but it’d be lacking all the upgrades that made it a monstrous weapon
So you're telling me after damn near 30 years... And countless dark link battles... The freaking broken sword is the key to victory?? Of all the damn things in this game I've done and discovered and this simple piece of info has eluded me for 30 god forsaken years... 😂😂😂
The Blood Sword from Final Fantasy 2. When you first get it it seems weak, doing pitiful damage to most enemies. That's because it does a fixed amount of damage, 1/20th of the enemy's max health. Most players who don't already know about this don't keep it long enough to realize how OP fixed damage is against bosses
7 times a Frying Pan was an excellent weapon Phantasy Star Online had one of these with Akiko's Wok. While it took running through a few quests to acquire, it isn't too difficult to obtain. What makes it such an amazing weapon is several things. First, it's classified as a saber, which means anyone can equip it. Second, it has one of the most useful special attacks that almost anyone can use, and that's TP drain. As long as that attack hit, you regained TP (basically mana). And for most characters, TP was your source of healing. Lastly, it still has a solid Attack Power value so even Forces (the spellcasters) can bonk enemies when they want to conserve their TP.
Can't forget the rusted weapons from Dragons Dogma. They're surprisingly powerful after upgrading them since they can slow AND poison just about every enemy in the game.
by the same token the tutorial gear in The Realm, cant be repaired ever but its armor score is so igh some player just save it on a new character to use on bosses. then thes Falerons hammer which was soo god the devs nerfed it so you cant pick it up...but if you had it in your inventory before hand...
I'd like to see a list of the games with the best idle animations. Like, we just put together this entire game, but let's also program in some useless idle animations that serve zero purpose other than for your entertainment.
HM: The Excalipoor: Given up by Gilgamesh. This cheap imitation does only 1 HP of damage but never misses. In FFV there is an enemy called the Skull-Cracker (a squirrel enemy that only hs 1 HP and high evasion). Any other weapon will always miss, but not Excalipoor. He gives High AP I believe.
Mmh... nah. The broken Giant's Knife is still mostly useless when you can just simply spam Din's Fire to successfully thwart Dark Link before he can even touch you :P
I'm surprised that the soap from Dusk didn't make it on the list. It doesn't have any purpose in game, it's in every level, but it instantly kills any enemy.
I can think of 2 in Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin that instantly come to mind - the Paper Airplane and the Pie. Both are totally useless at the start, but like the other Sun weapons, the more you use them, the stronger they get. If you have the time and patience to use these on low level enemies it pays off in spades. When fully powered, they become one hit kill weapons.
From here on out. Could you guys just say, Video actually starts at 1:35. Before then I'll be waffling about stuff. Would be much appreciated. Even after! I'm watching the video and you keep making stupid noises! Just cover the subject with the enthusiasm you clearly have! No hate intended. Just wish the best.
I have one for this list - mind you I'm not 100% sure of the validity of how many were ultimately found. Back when I played EverQuest, there was a rather infamous weapon I heard of called , "The stick"; the original version was later nerfed. It was quite literally a wooden stick found as a rare drop in one zone. If memory serves it was a 1 damage 1 speed 0 weight 1 handed blunt weapon that was rather comical to use. UNLESS you were a primary tank/fighter or Monk class. When duel wielded by certain classes the 1 speed made it the fastest weapon in the game along with a set minimum damage cap provided by Monk and Fighters created one of the most broken and overpowered weapons in the game.
Heres an obscure one, way back in the mists of time on a console known as the Sega Genesis (or Megadrive for us UK players) There was a game called Super Hydlide. At a certain spot in this game it was possible to pick up an item called 'Silver Sword' which was just how it sounds, a sword made of solid silver. Extremely heavy item in a game that slows you down for being over-encumbered. It could sell for a lot of money, OR you could take it to another certain location after doing certain things, and the silver sword becomes a light saber. As light as a daggar, but **maximum** damage power.
I've got a few examples. Let's start with Skyrim's Wooden Sword. This thing has a measly 4 points of strength, mainly due to it being a child's toy sword. But if you have some firewood, and with a high Smithing, Enchanting and One-Handed skill, even dragons will fall to what's essentially a glorified stick. Likewise, the Wooden Sword in Ninja Gaiden Black is, a first glance, complete useless, due to it lacking both combos (it shares what combos it does have with the Dragon Sword) and power. Despite this, however, it can be upgraded 7 times, which is more than any other weapon in the game. When fully upgraded, it becomes the Unlaboured Flawlessness, which resembles a boat oar, at which point it not only gains its own unique combos, it also has an effect where it deals more damage the less health you have left. Super Mario RPG had the Lazy Shell which made the wearer practically invincible, while also making them too weak to actually hit anything. Doesn't really sound worth using... unless Peach equips it. She's the party's resident healer, which means attacking enemies is the last thing she should be doing. This also means that nothing can stop her from healing her allies. Lastly, we have the Iron Pipe from Nier: Automata. As you might guess, it's literally just a rusty pipe you can find by fishing it out of a sewer, and it has fairly poor base damage. However, upgrading this thing gives it a boost to its critical hit chance, which is where its real strength lies. Although the Iron Pipe's base damage is poor, its critical damage is one of the highest among short swords, as well as being one of the faster weapons in the game.
I so wanted to watch this BUT That KNOB Jules is on. So I rather give it a pass. Don't need to hear this obnoxious voice all throughout the video. That's why he isn't on much of the other channels anymore. Miracles do happen. The Knob SUX. Just like Jules Mother does to knobs. My one per list
I have one favor to ask of Jules. Please change your slogan of “awesomely named but awefully hosted Tues your own adventure “. I, like you, spent 4 years of my life investing in a BA in English, harboring secret aspirations of writing the great American novel only to find out I had no stories to tell. Flash forward in life and I work as a nurse easing the pain of many patients for more than 6 years now. Still I can’t feel good about myself until I come across a UA-camr who takes time out of the end of his broadcast to build his audience up each week and I’m hooked. You sir, are the true”Lege” never forget that!
(mentioning a seemingly useless item in this comment, but with heavy spoilers for Azure Striker Gunvolt, read at your own risk of being spoiled) What about that accessory Joule in Azure Striker Gunvolt 1 gives you? You have to collect hidden gems (literal, not figuratively) hidden throughout the stages in the game, give them to Joule, which then she out of the kindness in her heart, crafts them into something for you to wear. The item description of that sort of accessory or jewelry she crafts for you (I forgot the name of the item) implies it's a useless item that grants you no effects, meaning it's better off to equip something else to that slot right? Wrong! This seemingly useless item is vital to getting the true ending of the game. Without it when fighting the final boss, you get a bad ending afterwards, where both Joule and GV (the player character) are shot to death by a trusted person up to this point, upon refusing an offer by that man to rule the world with him. However, if you're wearing that item Joule gives you when defeating the final boss, although Joule still dies, her charm takes the brunt of the gunshot on GV, saving him from an instant death, although still putting him in an injury that will kill him if not treated. Joule's Septima, Lumen, then heals him from the brink of death, with her Anthem music power, which is a song she uses throughout the game to save GV from certain death in gameplay, which then GV grieves over Joule's death, then goes after that man who killed her, and then the true final battle can start, where you then, all powered up from being saved from the brink of death via the Anthem, go to kill that man who took the life of the one you cherished so much. After killing him, GV brings his corpse to the rest of the team GV used to be a part of, ignores his former teammates asking with the concerns of that man being dead, and move-on. This seemingly useless item Joule crafts from the jewels you gave her, is vital to get that ending and true final battle. And btw, anyone who gets this ending who wants to try to play Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger IX, that game actually takes place after the bad ending of Gunvolt 1, as it shows at some point GV and Joule being dead. If you want to see what happened after Gunvolt 1's "true ending", you'll have to play Gunvolt 2 and 3.
for a commenter edition potential addon, excalipoor, from some FF games. not all games, but most games, it tends to have low damage and high accuracy, which can be helpful against a few foes with high evasion but low hp, where just landing the hit is the problem., or say, ff12 trying to not instakill weaker foes at higher levels for poaching them. in other ones, 5, it happens to have GREAT stats, but is scripted to deal only one damage - why is this game breaking? because some moves, like goblin punch, or the toss command, take the weapon stats - not it's scripted damage if used as a weapon - into account for it's damage. 6, the weapon is still pretty bad, but trying to gamble it in the coliseum, gives you a fight with gilgamesh, which gives him as an esper, not only does it have 3 fairly great damage attacks (the last one using excalipoor, as expected, does almost nothing) and as an 'early' WoR summon with the quick spell to learn, it's a fairly good get, being as there's only one other esper to learn quick from.
Also, if i remember correctly the Broom in Assassin's Creed also unlocked an Achievement called Spring Cleaning. If you kill one guard with the broom, you unlock it. I've picked up the broom by accident and instead of dropping, i actually fought and got the achievement. Hilarious

Doesn't fit because it requires you to do something to it, it's not just an item that's OP against a specific tough opponent or area.

Magicka had a silly dragon-slaying weapon found very early on in the game that could 1-shot any dragon. It's just a real shame that all dragons had died out. Then, about 80% of your way through the game, you go to the underworld where you fight, a dragon! If you managed to keep that dragon-slaying sword this whole time, it can trivialize a rather difficult boss fight.
I always used the megaton hammer against Dark Link. It works better then the giant's knife.
I beat him a dozen times and never even thought about using a broken sword.
The deku sticks in ocarina of time are much stronger then they look because its basically the equivalent of the biggoron sword for kid link. When fighting the second boss king dodongo do a jump attack with the sticks & you'll finish him off much faster then using the sword, ironic that a stick is stronger then a sword when it breaks after using it but hey game logic.
And especially useful against barinade, the electric yellyfish from inside lord jabbu jabbu.
Don't forget about the paintbrush from Oblivion. For those who don't know all items in the gave have gravity with the exception of this one item. Meaning wherever the character is looking the paintbrush will stay floating, this grants the player to then build a staircase and attack from a safe distance or even access areas that are otherwise not possible
Video Games developers stopped caring about, but we didn't.
Like Gothic 3 or vampire the masquerade which only get amazing (or finish able) with a fan patch.
Top 10 infuriating animal buddy's to get a hold of
I've officially hit "old man" status, on account of how annoyed I get with YT videos now. Can't stand the intros, the two+ minutes of self promotion, bad jokes and sponsor shilling anymore, when all I want is to hear the actual g-d list entries. It's every frickin' channel, every frickin' video now.
Omg i couldnt watch past min 5 with the “humor”
Jules your videos and lists are BY FAR the most entertaining and best put together. You can really tell that you’ve actually played nearly all the games you talk about unlike some others at whataculture that you can blatantly tell just read review of it and spit it out as their own thoughts
🎯
I believe that's mostly because in many cases the lists aren't written by the presenters. So you will indeed have presenters talking about games they haven't played, because the list isn't their own opinion. Jules does seem to have played every game he talks about though, so either that's the case or he's just really diligent about researching and/or crafting his content when it covers something he hasn't experienced.
List idea: top game soundtracks. Soulsborne games have some belters, MGS, FF, etc. And thanks for the positive messages at the end of your vids 🙂

No mention of the Boots of Blinding speed in Morrowind?
You can't see anything when you wear them, unless you get resist magick.
That item makes getting around Morrowind so much faster and it also works when flying.
There is also the tome you find off the dead body that has uses of like 3000 to jumping. Item can be used to jump fast distances

Not sure if it counts but in one of the X-Com games (3, I think) you can research the dart pistol. Seems useless until you realize later in the game, (A) the darts bypass the aliens' shields, (B) they're highly vulnerable to the toxin on the darts, and (C) you spam shots like an automatic Nerf cannon. Oh, and being that it's a pistol, you can dual wield them. Late in the game, I just had a squad of soldiers armed with pistols mopping up enemies within a few minutes.
Yeah that's in X-Com Apocalypse. Toxiguns are the most OP weapon in that game. They also don't do too much damage to humans, so you can literally spray and pray even at your team (useful for brainsuckers)
I read about how OP the frying pan from Fable was. Got it and never knew how to get it to an OP state.
If I recall correctly, there was a quest line you had to do involving you digging up hidden notes that eventually led to you digging it up… fun thing… you could dig it up early if you knew where it was, but it’d be lacking all the upgrades that made it a monstrous weapon
So you're telling me after damn near 30 years... And countless dark link battles... The freaking broken sword is the key to victory?? Of all the damn things in this game I've done and discovered and this simple piece of info has eluded me for 30 god forsaken years... 😂😂😂

The Blood Sword from Final Fantasy 2. When you first get it it seems weak, doing pitiful damage to most enemies. That's because it does a fixed amount of damage, 1/20th of the enemy's max health. Most players who don't already know about this don't keep it long enough to realize how OP fixed damage is against bosses
reminds me of the "spark field" ability of the Sorceress in Diablo 2...
Was that “swammer” joke a Scrubs reference? Lol
In the Zelda games, the butterfly net and fishing pole can be powerful weapons too.
Fishing pole hack from Twilight Princess was pretty op
7 times a Frying Pan was an excellent weapon
Phantasy Star Online had one of these with Akiko's Wok. While it took running through a few quests to acquire, it isn't too difficult to obtain. What makes it such an amazing weapon is several things. First, it's classified as a saber, which means anyone can equip it. Second, it has one of the most useful special attacks that almost anyone can use, and that's TP drain. As long as that attack hit, you regained TP (basically mana). And for most characters, TP was your source of healing. Lastly, it still has a solid Attack Power value so even Forces (the spellcasters) can bonk enemies when they want to conserve their TP.
Can't forget the rusted weapons from Dragons Dogma. They're surprisingly powerful after upgrading them since they can slow AND poison just about every enemy in the game.
by the same token the tutorial gear in The Realm, cant be repaired ever but its armor score is so igh some player just save it on a new character to use on bosses. then thes Falerons hammer which was soo god the devs nerfed it so you cant pick it up...but if you had it in your inventory before hand...

I'd like to see a list of the games with the best idle animations. Like, we just put together this entire game, but let's also program in some useless idle animations that serve zero purpose other than for your entertainment.
Conkers bad fur day will be at the top for sure.
Deadpool
HM: The Excalipoor: Given up by Gilgamesh. This cheap imitation does only 1 HP of damage but never misses. In FFV there is an enemy called the Skull-Cracker (a squirrel enemy that only hs 1 HP and high evasion). Any other weapon will always miss, but not Excalipoor. He gives High AP I believe.
Always stoked when Isaac shows up on a list.
real
Or you could fix the broken giant sword to wear it wouldn't break anymore...then it was more powerful that the master sword.
Jeah, until the last fight which you could not finish without the master sword, I tried.
@@molybdaen11 yeah you need the Master Sword to beat Ganon
10 video games where the camera kills you more than any enemy 🤣
The force unleashed 2 is a hot contender here.
Mmh... nah. The broken Giant's Knife is still mostly useless when you can just simply spam Din's Fire to successfully thwart Dark Link before he can even touch you :P
I'm surprised that the soap from Dusk didn't make it on the list. It doesn't have any purpose in game, it's in every level, but it instantly kills any enemy.
I can think of 2 in Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin that instantly come to mind - the Paper Airplane and the Pie. Both are totally useless at the start, but like the other Sun weapons, the more you use them, the stronger they get. If you have the time and patience to use these on low level enemies it pays off in spades. When fully powered, they become one hit kill weapons.
From here on out. Could you guys just say, Video actually starts at 1:35.
Before then I'll be waffling about stuff.
Would be much appreciated.
Even after! I'm watching the video and you keep making stupid noises! Just cover the subject with the enthusiasm you clearly have!
No hate intended. Just wish the best.
I have one for this list - mind you I'm not 100% sure of the validity of how many were ultimately found. Back when I played EverQuest, there was a rather infamous weapon I heard of called , "The stick"; the original version was later nerfed. It was quite literally a wooden stick found as a rare drop in one zone. If memory serves it was a 1 damage 1 speed 0 weight 1 handed blunt weapon that was rather comical to use. UNLESS you were a primary tank/fighter or Monk class. When duel wielded by certain classes the 1 speed made it the fastest weapon in the game along with a set minimum damage cap provided by Monk and Fighters created one of the most broken and overpowered weapons in the game.
Heres an obscure one, way back in the mists of time on a console known as the Sega Genesis (or Megadrive for us UK players) There was a game called Super Hydlide. At a certain spot in this game it was possible to pick up an item called 'Silver Sword' which was just how it sounds, a sword made of solid silver. Extremely heavy item in a game that slows you down for being over-encumbered. It could sell for a lot of money, OR you could take it to another certain location after doing certain things, and the silver sword becomes a light saber. As light as a daggar, but **maximum** damage power.
I've got a few examples. Let's start with Skyrim's Wooden Sword. This thing has a measly 4 points of strength, mainly due to it being a child's toy sword. But if you have some firewood, and with a high Smithing, Enchanting and One-Handed skill, even dragons will fall to what's essentially a glorified stick.
Likewise, the Wooden Sword in Ninja Gaiden Black is, a first glance, complete useless, due to it lacking both combos (it shares what combos it does have with the Dragon Sword) and power. Despite this, however, it can be upgraded 7 times, which is more than any other weapon in the game. When fully upgraded, it becomes the Unlaboured Flawlessness, which resembles a boat oar, at which point it not only gains its own unique combos, it also has an effect where it deals more damage the less health you have left.
Super Mario RPG had the Lazy Shell which made the wearer practically invincible, while also making them too weak to actually hit anything. Doesn't really sound worth using... unless Peach equips it. She's the party's resident healer, which means attacking enemies is the last thing she should be doing. This also means that nothing can stop her from healing her allies.
Lastly, we have the Iron Pipe from Nier: Automata. As you might guess, it's literally just a rusty pipe you can find by fishing it out of a sewer, and it has fairly poor base damage. However, upgrading this thing gives it a boost to its critical hit chance, which is where its real strength lies. Although the Iron Pipe's base damage is poor, its critical damage is one of the highest among short swords, as well as being one of the faster weapons in the game.
I so wanted to watch this BUT That KNOB Jules is on. So I rather give it a pass. Don't need to hear this obnoxious voice all throughout the video. That's why he isn't on much of the other channels anymore. Miracles do happen. The Knob SUX. Just like Jules Mother does to knobs. My one per list
I have one favor to ask of Jules. Please change your slogan of “awesomely named but awefully hosted Tues your own adventure “. I, like you, spent 4 years of my life investing in a BA in English, harboring secret aspirations of writing the great American novel only to find out I had no stories to tell. Flash forward in life and I work as a nurse easing the pain of many patients for more than 6 years now. Still I can’t feel good about myself until I come across a UA-camr who takes time out of the end of his broadcast to build his audience up each week and I’m hooked. You sir, are the true”Lege” never forget that!
(mentioning a seemingly useless item in this comment, but with heavy spoilers for Azure Striker Gunvolt, read at your own risk of being spoiled)
What about that accessory Joule in Azure Striker Gunvolt 1 gives you? You have to collect hidden gems (literal, not figuratively) hidden throughout the stages in the game, give them to Joule, which then she out of the kindness in her heart, crafts them into something for you to wear. The item description of that sort of accessory or jewelry she crafts for you (I forgot the name of the item) implies it's a useless item that grants you no effects, meaning it's better off to equip something else to that slot right? Wrong! This seemingly useless item is vital to getting the true ending of the game. Without it when fighting the final boss, you get a bad ending afterwards, where both Joule and GV (the player character) are shot to death by a trusted person up to this point, upon refusing an offer by that man to rule the world with him. However, if you're wearing that item Joule gives you when defeating the final boss, although Joule still dies, her charm takes the brunt of the gunshot on GV, saving him from an instant death, although still putting him in an injury that will kill him if not treated. Joule's Septima, Lumen, then heals him from the brink of death, with her Anthem music power, which is a song she uses throughout the game to save GV from certain death in gameplay, which then GV grieves over Joule's death, then goes after that man who killed her, and then the true final battle can start, where you then, all powered up from being saved from the brink of death via the Anthem, go to kill that man who took the life of the one you cherished so much. After killing him, GV brings his corpse to the rest of the team GV used to be a part of, ignores his former teammates asking with the concerns of that man being dead, and move-on. This seemingly useless item Joule crafts from the jewels you gave her, is vital to get that ending and true final battle. And btw, anyone who gets this ending who wants to try to play Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger IX, that game actually takes place after the bad ending of Gunvolt 1, as it shows at some point GV and Joule being dead. If you want to see what happened after Gunvolt 1's "true ending", you'll have to play Gunvolt 2 and 3.
for a commenter edition potential addon, excalipoor, from some FF games.
not all games, but most games, it tends to have low damage and high accuracy, which can be helpful against a few foes with high evasion but low hp, where just landing the hit is the problem., or say, ff12 trying to not instakill weaker foes at higher levels for poaching them.
in other ones, 5, it happens to have GREAT stats, but is scripted to deal only one damage - why is this game breaking? because some moves, like goblin punch, or the toss command, take the weapon stats - not it's scripted damage if used as a weapon - into account for it's damage.
6, the weapon is still pretty bad, but trying to gamble it in the coliseum, gives you a fight with gilgamesh, which gives him as an esper, not only does it have 3 fairly great damage attacks (the last one using excalipoor, as expected, does almost nothing) and as an 'early' WoR summon with the quick spell to learn, it's a fairly good get, being as there's only one other esper to learn quick from.
Also, if i remember correctly the Broom in Assassin's Creed also unlocked an Achievement called Spring Cleaning. If you kill one guard with the broom, you unlock it. I've picked up the broom by accident and instead of dropping, i actually fought and got the achievement. Hilarious
I like "five minute scenes in movies that should be whole 2 hour movies. " My favorite, the Old Forest portion of Lotr Fellowship of the Ring. Tell Peter Jackson to film, Lord of the Rings: Tom Bombadil and The Barrow-downs.
You know Ubisoft was encouraging the broom shenanigans in the follow up game Brotherhood…cuz there’s literally an achievement/trophy for killing a guard with a broom 😂
Heck…I murdered a small battalion with the broom for fun once 🤣🤣
It's pronounced Bubble Leed, not Bubble Led. Megaman projects the bubbles in front of him, thus they are leading him. The Japanese name for the weapon is "Baburu Rido", the i in Rido pronounced like a long E.
IDK the Broken Giant's Knife would beeak after eight hits and I've damaged the Water Temple mini-boss, Dark Link, by placing a bomb on the floor and running away.
oh, i have a silly game that's essentially a knockoff of Fallout, and it has a recipe that lets you effectively turn bottles of "nuka-cola" into atomic hand grenades MORE powerful than a "fatboy" mini-nuke!
OK maybe this sounds dumb but I think Jules should stop saying "awfully hosted."
He's always so positive and telling us we're awesome but every time he starts his show he craps on himself and it feels... Not great. Sorry
Casey bat doesn't auto wins till you grind A LOT levels making it still useless. Now weakest turn best weapon ever...Bare hands. Final Fantasy monks and other games actually can inflict a ton of damage when used right.
Jules...way too much man. Love the vids but this is like you smoked 15 lbs. of meth before filming...and seriously takes away from the video. Otherwise great video but the over acting and yelling and really bottom-tier humor is torture.
I don't know if this has been done already but 8 insulting things that can happen in videogames.

Fallout 76
weapon - The Night Light
The Night Light is affected by the Grounded mutation.
Due to a coding error, it could spawn at level 1, with said level variant dealing negative damage that would kill anything in one shot.
Any weapon in AC2 works that way, all the way up to AC4. You completely lied about it being overpowered because it's just the same as everything else. It isn't special but you lied and told everyone here it was for views.
How about top 8 most depraved, disgusting and dangerous fictional religious groups in video games? Try not the fill the list with too many jRPG examples though ;)
Liked the topic and content, did NOT like the borderline slapstick obnoxiously goofy delivery. Things like your new mic arm and crushing student loan debt aren't entertaining.
Would have put the top spin from megaman 3 over the bubble lead cause at least that typically worked on anything it hit, the top spin however would just....not for a lot of enemies, even the robot master it was for wasn't that useful against. And then the final boss fight...and it's again the only one that works, and works well for some reason.
