8 Video Games That Rewarded You For NOT Playing | The Deep Cut

[@ginoarriola9804]

Honorable mention to "Fable 2" property income. "Assassins creed Brotherhood" sending recruites on missions. As well as "ME Andromeda"

[@d.a.baracus]

Don't know if this counts, but Fable 2 (& probably the other Fable games; don't remember off hand) allows you to collect rent while the game is off. You buy some properties early in the game, go away for a while & then log back on, & you're rewarded with a giant sack of gold. And considering how important gold is in the game, this is huge.

[@frankbrodie5168]

Iirc that Gauntlet exit thing was put in by the devs to allow people to pass levels they were stuck on. Due to the maze like layout of many levels. 200 seconds of game time equates to 2/3 of the amount it costs per credit I think it was. So you were literally paying to win. Even back then when Gauntlet was released.

[@notsospecialk362]

I just love Jules' narration, man is smoother than butter

[@reilley26]

Was Stanley Parable too mainstream for this list? There's multiple times in that game that stopping and refusing to do anything is commented on or rewarded, including the achievement for not turning on the game for X number of years.

[@benjammin6198]

Stanley parable ones have been done to death over the years

[@morgantaylor84]

2:54 That's actually true with real life Bear attacks too. If you stand your ground/slowly and calmly back away from Black Bears they will roar you off then go off on their merry way almost all the time. But a Grizzly bear might attack you or might not, so for them you need to play dead because they're not interested in eating you, just making sure you're not a threat to their territory.

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

I loved Koudelka. The only game where my party gets wiped out by the final boss and then was rewarded with a cutscene where they defeat the final boss. I was so confused.

[@AllBlackAirpods]

3:03 it actually really speaks to the research because the term is indeed if it’s black fight back or stand your ground so it checks out

[@davidbennettracing538]

There was a location on the map in NFS Most Wanted, whereby if you got up there in a pursuit, the police would destroy themselves & you’d get a huge bounty and end the chase.

[@floki_does]

Every time this "thanks Jules" pops up, I crack out laughing. I love it 😂

[@78proto]

Jules is hilarious! Dysentery...😅

[@AvidCat5000]

Pod Racing movie done in the style of Days of Thunder or Speed Racer would be dope.

[@chrislevack405]

Days of Thunder yes... Speed Racer no

[@timlowdon2943]

I appreciate the "It's Always Sunny" reference.

[@monkofbob]

Jules gargles a Space Marine and no one had any pleasure. Lore accurate!

[@dubblbarrlbuttrscotch7011]

Jules, I am all the way over here in Georgia, loving your content, because it's good. No criticism, well done

[@vegemitebilly369]

AND HE STILL DROPS MAD KNOWLEDGE AT THE END!! ❤

[@rhinox9292]

I laughed out loud when Jules started talking about Flatout 3, immediately reminded me of the “just bad games” episode on Rerez about the same game😅

[@samjames3947]

How interesting, just finished playing the dawn of war campaign yesterday. First time since it came out 20 years ago. And here it is on the list!

[@specterent]

Koudelka was a great game, but keep Koudelka's necklace always! I remember taking it off for something else to find out that it protects you from the final boss, without it you all get killled instantly.

[@ericmiller93]

You’re right about wrath of cortex. Got it with my ps2 and always had such nostalgia for it. Went back to it a couple years ago and it blows.

[@Blueflag04]

Far Cry 4, you can get an ending for not moving at the beginning

[@ComradeGSRM13]

Nothing about Final Fantasy? In 4 Cecil becomes a paladin if he chooses not to attack his doppelganger. In 6 you can recruit Gogo by finding his underwater lair, accepting his challenge, then standing still until he surrenders.

[@KaijuAKD]

The only cut for me is the Deep Cut, baby!

[@registereduser]

I’m sorry, the Crash entry made me imagine the Crash from the old commercials teabagging someone while talking smack on his megaphone XD

[@roguerifter9724]

Ironically I'm watching this while taking a break from the Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader PC game and one of the enemy types kind of fits this. Not totally though While you can't ignore them completely Necron ships have an ability that fully regenerates their HP the first time their Health bar is emptied. Before this they regain some HP every turn. But after they use it they start taking damage every turn instead and it can destroy them So I'll often blast a ship or two to the point where it regenerates and starts taking damage every turn then veer off to deal with another section of the battlespace while the ships It hit fly themselves apart in my wake.

[@douglascarter2078]

Black bears don't ever attack you in RDR 2. You can lasso them.

[@DirePanda]

“Devs who were also on ice” if they were on bath salts it might have been better! 😂

[@joeydavis9951]

👍THANKS JULES 👍

[@mavadelo]

if you dig shallow graves on the regular, I don't think it is life that is knocking on your door Jules 🤨

[@rbconley]

So what's the difference between GFS and WhatCulture Gaming?

The Revenant 2: Electric Bearaloo!

[@WhatTheFirstAidSpray]

E.T the Videogame was one of the first examples of a game that rewarded you for not playing. Because by not playing, you weren't cursed with the memory of that game 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@gdonaldson26]

I had a game like that on the Mega Drive... you beat me to it! 😅

[@Stinger420]

I (fortunately) didn't have E.T., but I do have memories of going to my neighbor's house, playing it, quickly becoming confused and frustrated, then spending a minute or two 'stretchy-neck floating' until I asked my friend to change the game. Even at 8-9 years old I could tell the game sucked.

[@mentalshatter]

3:03 *USA! USA! USA!* 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Woooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Ohhh say can we seeEEEeeeEe....

[@springer1786]

The mental image of Jules gargling on a space marine is...yeah...I need a minute...

[@fasttrack70]

Rainbow rhythms? Peep show fan ❤

[@Redpantslol]

How about Fable continuing to pay you rent dues while you're not playing the game?

[@brandonwirtz2308]

All of these games really did reward me for not playing them.

[@Jimmy-pf7kr]

Proper nerds know Jules, the Warhamms is a cruel and time consuming mistress! 😂

[@aequitas915]

Jules, if you really do leave that room why does it look like you’ve been crying about not leaving the room? Full disclosure comment wrote at the beginning of the video.

[@sorahearts3317]

The World Ends With You rewards you by not playing by leveling up your pins while you didn't play it. And don't tell me TWEWY isn't a deep cut because it does NOT get the love and attention it deserves

[@jennyf-eg5gl]

Please, we know that you are busy painting mini figs than digging shallow graves. World ends with you: you can level up your pins by leaving the game for a week at a time.

[@SuperZippyzippy]

I was never rewarded for not playing

[@jimmyrodriguez5670]

Shenmue 2 barbershop.

[@davidhiller8]

🤘🏻👍🏻

[@mrpogo72]

Does this mean for the first time ever in one of the isles you don’t mention the Stanley parable

[@marcuscarberry218]

8 video games that just give trophies right off the bat or no reason to it.

[@sinswhisper9588]

mentioning baller racing games and not bringing up the Star Wars Episode One Racer for N64?? blasphemy Jules .... BLASPHEMY!!

[@AnOldGeezer420]

Hey! My name is Geezer! 😃

[@kassjames5301]

No love for The Stanley Parable? The only way to 100% the game is to not play it for 5 years.

[@benjammin6198]

He was going for deep cuts, Stanley parable one has been done to death before

[@cloudsymbol7890]

Log in after ten years was a trophy too

[@paulbennett2284]

After Jules dug a Shallow Grave he went Trainspotting for 127 Hours then 28 Days Later went to The Beach

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

You should see a doctor about having that Danny Boyle lanced.

[@michaelt7153]

As an American, I can say without a doubt that is most accurate impression of my people. You are now an honorary citizen.

[@maloc1824]

Did you call Yoda, The Emperor's name?

[@chrislevack405]

I mean... sour grapes are pretty delicious

[@bongman6671]

I think your name is a typo 😂😂😂
