[@AgnonRhy]

If Tonberry from Final Fantasy isn't on this list, I'm confused. There are few enemies like this guy that looks like he's a pushover but when you fight him, he quickly minces your party to bits...

[@LiminalMan777]

Or the squirrels from ff4

[@Cessate]

I'm not the only one who thought of this, thankfully. These assholes (and Cactaurs) were the enemies I first imagined coming to this video.

[@marlonthomas8042]

I was going to comment this exact thing 😂😂

[@BigDaddyBland87]

Well I guess we will see if they do a commenter's edition, because leaving out the Tonberry is an absolute travesty.

[@pauluhliar6838]

I love tonberry, but it does get very manageable compared to malboros. Despite still causing cancer, I mean the monsters not cancer lances.

[@Ediranii]

I love Jules with his clutch outros. Thanks for lifting up the spirits in every video you host. YOU are a MASSIVE lege!

[@Ban0909]

Perhaps an Episode for the most ridiculous armoured items or clothing protection that can make you an absolute TANK.

[@estevanzamora8262]

So all woman clothing

[@pinktribble]

Loving Dan's commitment to the task of being Jules' latest victim...er...editor. Big love to you both. ❤

[@ianmansfield8245]

Whatculture needs more editors like Dan. No blaring background music (thank God), actually funny edits, much more enjoyable to watch

[@whocares9033]

Music in this video is still too loud for my taste, but at least it isn't irritating

[@BThirstyPretzel]

I'm enjoying this new Dan and Jules team. Very fun

[@MetalHeadReacts]

There was an enemy in Final Fantasy XI online called a chigoe, which were tiny beetles, almost impossible to see that could one-shot you even at high level. Unlike most enemies in the game, their creature nametag was hidden until they attacked which made them even harder to see than they already were.

[@comettamer]

That just seems unfair lol

[@HylianFox3]

As an old-school gamer, most platform games are absolutely loaded with tiny, hard-to-hit enemies that *will* knock you into insta-death pits and cause WAY more frustration than the bigger enemies and actual bosses.

[@evilkinggumby]

Suggestion: Bringing in everyone at Whatculture, "Top video games that changed (or saved) your life.'

[@DMBLaan]

While I miss James, Dan is doing really good too, so keep it up!

[@XxAxelRaynexX]

What happened to James? I must have missed it, he was just gone one day.

[@DMBLaan]

@@XxAxelRaynexX he left, Dan is now editing

[@Seattletyy93]

They took him out back and shot him, sarcastically.

[@crisisamonginfinitedarthsa4220]

Top Ten Bosses Jules can defeat if he was magically sucked into a video game.

[@sakotaatokary1335]

Non-fighting games that could get surprisingly violent. Maybe a good example would be Cooking simulator with how you can smash, cut & otherwise destroy pretty much everything in the kitchen

[@RaphBlade7]

The only Zelda title where attacking Cuccos won't cause the CUCCO REVENGE SQUAD to attack Link is TWILIGHT PRINCESS! Oddly, after attacking a Cucco a few times, Link will oddly briefly gain control of the Cucco he was attacking! Also, Cuccos are effectively invulnerable to attack & the only way to avoid the REVENGE SQUAD in most games is to enter a building or other area!

[@TBSxDRUMS]

Vexes from Minecraft. Not only will they hammer down your health in swarms, but they are also difficult to hit as they fly all around and phase through walls. Definitely thought they'd be on this list!

[@ZeldaLilly330]

Cuccos traumatized me as a child, and to this day I'll always be wary of the feathery bringers of death that are video game chickens.

[@CoreyKaha]

Not sure about the obliterated part, but I think we can all agree that baby zombies from Minecraft deserves an honouree spot on this list. They are soo frustrating to kill, especially in long grass.

[@GabePuratekuta]

The Killer Rabbit's also in Minecraft. It used to be a random spawn but now you can summon it with a command.

[@Martynde]

Underrated music from obscure games that everybody should listen to

[@pueblonative]

8 video game missions so dark you can't wear your sunglasses for. Or 8 video game missions you were as high as a kite for

[@mylescarter8448]

The imps from elden ring were so annoying but the vulgar militiamen are even smaller and kicked my ass more times than I'd like to admit

[@mesothelimoa341]

They're not smaller than the imp but they certainly are much better camouflaged.

[@swilliams21231]

Speaking of Monty Python, anyone else old enough to remember the white rabbit from Asheron’s Call?

8 In-Game Items We Wish We Had IRL alternately 8 Enemies We Wish We Could Adopt As Pets

[@WestsideMas]

We need a list of delayed video games that actually turned out good. Most of the time, especially recently, games get delayed and delayed and then still turn out bad on release (cyberpunk, FORSPOKEN,etc..) but Hogwarts Legacy had delays and is now an amazing game and it's selling like crazy rn

[@Akomarongg]

the thing is. cyberpunk wasn't really delayed. it was rushed. thanks to impatient players.

[@WestsideMas]

@@Akomarongg I wouldn't blame the gamers CDPR announced it like 20 years ago and dragged their feet lmfao

[@jotheunissen9274]

The first goomba in a Mario game always has the most kills of any enemy

[@Quantumredux05]

The mini goombas from Super Mario 3 would also annoy. Caused many deaths because they wouldn't let you jump!

[@mikeburkhart8336]

Second place,the Red Devil (a.k.a.Firebrand) in level 1 of Ghosts and Goblins...comes out of nowhere and destroys you in seconds.

[@lonewolffang]

​@@Quantumredux05 Remember the giant Goombas in the one world where everything is bigger than Mario? Still nightmare fuel for me to this day.

[@johngraham312]

This was my choice, a young child starts their mario adventure and will be over in seconds

[@irrefutable_mrT]

Thank you for being you Jules. Never change

[@CabBlaze420]

No flood?! The little jumping popcorn kernels are literal demons on legendary difficulty. I can’t be the only one who hates those things.

[@johnbuck4395]

Especially since they upgrade in each game (I really hated the one that was cloaked in the last level of CE, they can operate and hack vehicles in pt2, spontaneous mutations in pt3, but I forgot what they got in pt4 onward)

[@Sunprism]

Oh those Tiny little tripod things in Dead Space. It's just the worst in the middle of the gun fight when you sudden can't shoot, just slap them off your armor. And when they hide in breakable crates....

[@TheOmegaDragon]

Phoenix Normin from Tales of Berseria can put you in the receiving end of a beatdown. There is also Lenneth and Freya from Star Ocean Till the End of Time that are the toughest loli's you'll face in the game.

[@KingReejer]

Next video: 8 video games that are drastically different than their original in their series. (Like Fallout going from top down CRPG to first person shooter.)

[@MrStrikecentral]

Needs to add in Tonberry from Final Fantasy and the headcrabs from Half-Life.

[@travisjohnson7599]

8 video games that deserve a sequel.

[@sephirjon9466]

Alright, hold on. No. Cuccos are not enemies. They are, at best, stage obstacles like a spike floor or a bottomless pit. Something that can damage or kill you, but is not malicious. After all, they will never attack you unless you attack them first, and not just once, but multiple times. They are remarkably chill in that regard. Cactuars or tonberries from Final Fantasy would have made way more sense.

[@zackvega9596]

How about 8 best comic relief characters in generally serious games. Like Kenji in Ghost of Tsushima, or Brok and Sindri in GOW.

[@RenoDarkwater]

Kenji! LOL what a Legend

[@RelakS__]

Zurks in Stray. The are small. They can jump. They are in big groups. And they are a horrible RNG fest. You may get rid of them, but when the task is not even let them bite you, it is close to impossible.

[@nstgaming631]

Since a bunny was on the list as a reference to Monty Python. I'm pretty sure Fury from final Fantasy 12 is another reference to that.

[@michaelt.lancaster9776]

You should do a Fighting Game version. When I use to hold tournaments, one character I've always banned was Gon in Tekken 3.

[@809200]

Hey mate I have a list for you. Top 10 ratchet and clank moments of all time!

[@colosine]

The ultimate OP micro enemy js "The Brine" in dragons dogma, made even worse by the fact that there is no way to kill them

[@563Phoenix]

Tonberries and headcrabs come to mind for me.

[@greedeh]

Mousers in TMNT IV can def combo lock you to death.

[@AmatrielG]

The last entry remind me the deadly rabbit from Dragon's Crown, wich by the way is a 10/10 game

[@gregbasore2108]

List suggestion: X Online games you rarely hear about, because they actually work In a world full of disappointing multiplayer and "live service" games, it's worth remembering that there's plenty of good ones we don't hear about too often because "Stable game continues to be stable" doesn't make for an exciting headline.

[@tiamcclelland8736]

If you ever do a part 2, please include the stalkers from Borderlands 2!! Fast moving, can become invisible, and there's always a ton of them.

[@dashawnmclean2307]

How about video games that were so difficult, even the Devs couldn't beat it

[@chadharger9323]

The Elder Scrolls Arena.

[@jiblitin1520]

Guitar Hero on the hardest difficulty comes to mind.

[@GabePuratekuta]

Mickey Mania. Jon Burton had to cheat to progress.

[@HylianFox3]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors. The devs said most playtesters never got much past level 20 (out of 48, not counting bonus levels). Also the fact that passwords do not save your items or extra lives. So you always start with just the basic squirtgun and 1 med kit. They later admitted that maybe they made the game a little *too* difficult.

[@Lucivius27]

I read Gradius was really hard and Dev had to cheat with 30 lives to finish it. And thus Konami code was born.

[@HiddenWinter]

10 times devs trolled players by giving them exactly what they asked for.

[@LiminalMan777]

8 characters who got a spin-off that turned out better than the game they came from.

[@LiminalMan777]

And I’ll have you know I too am a bearded eggman

[@Not-Great-at-Gaming]

Stripe from Fallout New Vegas - An Alpha Deathclaw the size of a dog.

[@ishas4421]

I had the idea of making a cards against humanity type game. Where the video name is the black center card and the white cards would be the picks from yalls videos. You could also create new packs like WhatCulture films and horrow and the rest to resell more in the future with the name being Uncultured

[@Cessate]

I'm already at #3... And if 2 or 1 aren't a Tonberry and/or Cactaur from Final Fantasy, I'm throwing fit. Edit: And... There wasn't. Jules, I am highly disappointed! Although I am happy you mentioned the Black Rabbite at least. But Tonberries are THEE worst.

[@kbthrilla15]

Do one on the best squad mates not by personality but on efficiency and effectiveness

[@ytcomment4242]

Diablo 2, Act 3. Those terrible little things in the jungle. You know the ones.

[@SentiNel090]

If tiny enemies are involved I will forever bring up The Tiny Vermin from Hades. Zagreus on his first encounter:"Oh hey look, a tiny vermin!" Zag some encounters later:"Oh god it's the Tiny Vermin!"

[@RoadRage810]

10 times leveling up made your character worse/weaker. I have had a couple of times in the past that have caused me to invent new swear words because of things like that.

[@VirginAfterSex420]

Oblivion if you don't know what you're doing

[@HylianFox3]

Faxanadu. Leveling up nets you some extra gold when you restart using the password, but it also reduces the time that you can use the very helpful Wing Boots.

[@kevincleary6073]

KOTOR, if you delay levelling up immediately you can get much more jedi levels and power, pokemon, your starter learns moves earlier if not evolved

[@Jokertron3000]

Idk if I suck at games, but the Kalydonian Boar from AC Odyssey gave me the toughest beast battle in the entire game.

[@justins9886]

The wolverines from Far Cry 5 better be here.

[@trevormclaurin1398]

Was kinda surprised not to see Voltorb from gen 1 and 2, little guys who looked like items, couldn't run away usually, and self destruct in areas that require conservative game play. I remember in blue especially they absolutely took me off guard and wrecked my team.

[@zomula7657]

I was thinking Zubat from the gen 1 games. Supersonic to confuse and Leach life to keep the things alive and being annoyingly common in the early game caves had that stupid bat on the most hated list of a lot of people.

[@Dtgray12]

Fuzzies from Paper Mario were a dangerous threat

[@Narasir]

and what about the classics? Fetish from Diablo 2 Act 3 and Tomberry from Final Fantasy? both are tiny and deadly as can be

[@holstorrsceadus1990]

Lol. I totally pretend my little dudes are in a firm. Especially when I put them in tracksuits and trainers. Toddlers often have the same mentality and approach as street level thugs.

If it hasn't been done yet, next episode idea, updates that did more harm than good

[@HiImCHAINSAW]

Minion Solider, who is an enemy in the Dice Palace in my favorite Sega Genesis classic, Gunstar Heroes. He's comically tiny, and will toss you all over the place with very little effort. It'll catch you off guard when fighting him the first time. I remember being so frustrated fighting this miniscule guy as a kid. 😂

List Idea - NPCs that you never see who have a lasting impact on the game

[@riquetmemche2950]

Hi ! I nearly never comment any video of any kind, but I gotta mention a perfect fit for this one that's not been evocated by anyone I think. In Valkyrie Profile 2 you're used to defeat tons of gods and huge mythical monsters and the hardest hitting ennemies in the whole game are hamsters. Hard as f to kill and can use an attac that deals about 5/10 times your maximum HP on the whole party even with maxed out level.

[@alvaropalacios4983]

Some people mention the tonberis from final fantasy, and that's right for a mid to high level party. But the real answer here is the cactuar without a doubt, they are fast, and they srtike (and counter) real hard.

[@rho-starmkl4483]

Smallfry! You’re just standing there readying a bomb throw into a Flyfish’s missile silo or charging a shot for a Charger or Splatling and then all of a sudden you get surrounded by a bunch of Smallfry and you get spooned to death.

[@richardclingerman7291]

I was playing AvP on PC when it came out. Didn't know much about the series. Was playing ss predator, and a face hugger jump on the screen. I jumped back and fell out of my chair. Scared me so bad.

[@15DarkChris]

Tonberry will definitely make it on this list.

[@patrickhanni4568]

Can you do a list of the worst enemies that turned into your party member?

[@MrEXC]

You should DEFINITELY put the Cell Jr's from the Dragonball Z Tenkaichi series. They're short and thus difficult to hit. Not to mention, they attack in groups...Frustrating and Annoying.

[@chrispage621]

Idea for next week. How many times Heaven messed up big time? I'm sure it's happened loads 😅

[@ItzSkettimas]

No tonberry and no cactuar? Huh. Perhaps the fruit hung too low

[@humordetarhumor]

The ones in stray was a nightmare

[@ac2smart]

The Flood from Halo need to be on this list

[@MasamuneShinto]

Other options: 1. The rats from Plague Tale. They swarm en mass and can literally strip you to nothing in an instant. Very similar to the scarab beetles in The Mummy franchise really. Yes, they can be repelled by fire but amass with a vengeance once your flame fizzes out. 2. The severed hands from Blood also prove troublesome as well because they follow you literally everywhere and will strangle you. 3. The undead boy from The Tale Of Henry Bishop offers similar problems to the severed hands in his relentless pursuit of you through the game’s first level. However, if he catches you, he will literally start to munch on you which can end your character in only two attempts. 4. The worms from Splatterhouse 1 and 2. While being not especially fast, their small size means that you can easily miss them and once they latch onto Rick, they can gnaw through his health like a wood chipper through a piece of cedar. 5. The compies from Jurassic Park The Game on Mega Drive. These were the absolute worst back in the day, save for perhaps the raptors. These things would zero in on Alan Grant and perform a lion impression on his throat. Only after a great deal of struggle would Alan at least be able to remove the compy. Much like a piranha fish, the compy is pretty ineffectual unless in a group. However , it can create enough of a distraction for a larger dinosaur to make you its lunch. The last thing you want is to have an aggressive little lizard thing giving you a hickey when you’re attempting to get past a T-Rex.

8 Video games where you lose your best friend at the start of the game.

[@howlphantomwolf]

My greatest Left 4 Dead 2 online experience was in the very first level. I spawned in as a Charger and tucked myself into a corner ahead of the players. First player that stuck his head through the door got grabbed, and then I yeeted us both out a window.

[@jekebe4858]

I hate this list so much, it made me remember an enemy that haunts me 20+ years later... the pygmies on the way to Travincal in Diablo 2. If you've ever seen Trilogy of Terror you know them, tiny little butcher knife-wielding horrors that zip around and make you wish you'd stayed out of their jungle. A little humor mixed in due to the lighting though cuz the bright color of their shorts stood out a lot more than their dark bodies so it often looked like you were being murdered by some pygmie's pants... hahaha... oh wait, that's not funny... Diablo 3 let you get your own back with the witch doctor class though, summoning a swarm of the little buggers to mass murder your enemies was hilariously satisfying.

[@ShadowLouWolf]

Nice to see some familiar faces on this list, yet I believe this list will need a part 2, since there are many more I can think of: -Tonberry - Final Fantasy series -Flea Man/Ripper - Castlevania series -Suicide Grunts/Flood - Halo series -Pill Bug/Ghost Fish - Ninja Gaiden (Xbox/PS2) -Paras (Pokemon Legends: Arceus)

[@SilverSpectre266]

Unique Video Game Concepts that Failed the Game Premise: Every game needs a core concept as the driving factor as to why you should buy this game over anything other. Its the identity that the game centers itself around whether that be a mechanic, feature, or the overall aesthetic. But some fail the very game they are meant to built around in the process. An easy example is the incorporation of the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Rocksteady themselves said they always wanted to bring the iconic automobile to the games, but never got the opportunity. Well they did with the last entry and it was widely derived for how heavily it was implemented, even included in most of the Riddler challenges. However, another lesser known one and the whole idea behind this potential video idea is the game, "The Flock". The Flock had an interesting concept that sold itself as a game that would no longer be playable once all the in the game were gone. The game itself was an asymmetric first person mutliplayer game where you play as a monster trying to defeat other player monster and try to claim the Light. However in the entirety of the game, there is a limited amount of lives that EVERYONE who owns this game share. If they died, the lives count went down for everyone until there was nothing left. And once there was none left, the game would be rendered unplayable because well...there are no lives to play. And being it was a multiplayer only game, lives were sure to tick down fast right? Well...the game didnt do so hot. It released in 2015, and is still playable to this day, but the issue is that nobody is actually playing it. The player base died quicker than the actual life count for the game to the point everyone where not only was nobody playing the game anymore, but the studio long went out of business, its websites (including the ones tracking the amount of lives still left in The Flock shut down when it was still well over in the hundred thousands), and if you look at the Steam Page for the game it seems fans have taken over the Steam Page for the game and are organizing their own groups to try to desperately continue playing it to no avail, which is kind of unprecedented in itself.

[@finnydot]

Fantastic as always, gents. 👏👏👏👏 I suggested this last week I'll try it again. I know you're all about game preservation, Jules. 8 video games we want a re-skin not a re-make. I'm sure a lot of people enjoyed FF7 remake. I'd love to play Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver on my PS5, but I don't want them to ruin the original game. I want all the voice acting from the original, same level designs and everything. But definitely with updated textures and whatnot. Have it run in 4k at 60 FPS? Would be amazing.
