Oh I feel that. I feel it so much. I remember it strikingly from Breath of Fire 3. It’s been decades and I still remember it clearly. Ryu, the player character was fighting a gladiator called Garr in an arena. Ryu had the ability to transform into a dragon. In secret Garr was a dragon slayer so he compelled Ryu to fight with all his strength. A scripted loss. While Garr was legitimately strong, if you spent enough time levelling up you would be strong enough to beat him. Right up until the game, and him, says “enough of this” and strikes Ryu down in a single blow with impossible HP damage you’d be hard pressed to get it even at the end of the game.

Anyone else wonder what the dark lord would’ve been like on hard difficulty? 😆

NGL, their skits are so well done I genuinely wish they'd have more series instead of skits that build on each other. But I'm also aware that is a very time- and labor-intensive process and I don't want them to get overburdened.

Lowering the difficulty really does feel like a different boss fight

Schmerlock the high warlock of arakite has the ability to switch that damage taken between him and his opponent, this of course means he allows you to damage him because it’s all a part of his plan. When you fight him for real you have to first destroy the hidden away artifact that allows him to use this ability causing him to fight you at a portion of his potential, and I say a portion as he is still canonically rusty as his artifact has caused him to not have to fight anything properly for many years. Don’t sleep on Schmerlock.

All skits are awesome, but "Difficulty Slider" may just be my most favorite VLDL skit of them all. Pure gold.

Completely forgot that Bonecaller was the one scared of undead. And Greg laughing himself half dead about him. That sets an interesting background for the current place in the DnD campaign 😁

If there is a better ineffectual villain anywhere than Hamish, I'd ride out to vanquish them. I should also add he is the best Souls NPC ever too!

If the bard doesn't make them all at least 33% stronger, it would be more efficient to just replace him with another fighter.

Nerfed Boss is better ....also Cannon Fodder

I had a recent scripted loss I absolutely despised. It was in Digimon Survive in the Harmony route, the enemy I fought I had done good leveling up my party and was wiping the floor with the guy and suddenly my entire team was on the ground, and he was like "This is what you get for attacking me" and I was "But I was wiping the floor with you" O.O

I could watch these day after day no matter rather I’ve seen it 10 times I still laugh

The Kill Steal reminds me of a case from City of Heroes where one player refused to join any of the teams fighting Lusca and once the giant octopus was finally defeating, he went around calling out on broadcast that he had soloed Lusca.... not that that changed the reward he got... but still very eye roll inducing. Given there were literally 24+ other players involved in the same fight. At least three whole full-sized teams.

30:36 This is getting me one of my awesome ff14 memories. I was a reaper and the other teammates were white mage and red mage. At the last boss, a tank died and I immediately got aggro. White mage immediately tried to keep me alive and red mage resurrected a tank. We finished the game and before leaving, we all bowed to each other. That felt good.

There are two opposite ends of scripted losses. You have to beat a highly difficult boss in order to lose, an actual loss in the fight means game over. The other end, the game expects you to lose, and that's fine, but if you win they get reinforcements to win, and drop great loot for your achievement.

These guy’s are like Monty python’s movies. There videos are so well done, they should make their own movies.

23:51 Awesome Warcraft 3 adaption! :)

How did I not catch Hamish's "Schmerlock the high warlock" 🤣

I love how piling a crap ton of armor on Alan triggers "over acting mode" every time...well, except when it's Izack

So many years ago, in Everquest, you knew you were something when you could solo a town guard. Those folks were TOUGH!

The bard is by far the funniest one. Hamish just kills it! Can't stop laughing! 🤣🤣😂😂 Thanks guys, I really needed that. 😄

The "teamwork" skit is my favorite. The music and choreography was very well done! And of course, the humor!

The one with Firelord Far'Zel makes me laugh the hardest.

6:25 oh man I wish difficulty sliders worked like this!!! That would be fucking hilarious!!!

I love these types of sketches the most in the VLDL catalogue. Keep up the great work guys!

Do you really think I would put all of my Life Force into one singular orb?" Reminds me of the movie Heavy Metal, the old one from the 80s (or something) with the green orb.

Scripted losses after you stun-lock or parry-spam a boss always got me laughing, ah yes and kill-steals... I know why I prefer the majority damage version where the one that did the most damage gets it while the last-hit just gets an exp bonus or some such.

11:47 That one KILLED me :D I literally spit my beverage over the keyboard. Soooo good!

Always love the voice filter thingy they use to make them sound more menacing .

The second video : That's how difficulty settings should be visually represented in games!

May VLDL continue making such a masterpiece like this ❤🎉

There is one game 'reward' that does. I forget which

"Beating up a physically disabled Dark Lord General!" LOL

32:04 and this is why individual loot drops are the best way to do it, instead of everyone getting access to a single cache of loot, causes so much fights. When you get your own loot cache there’s no fighting for stuff, if someone got lucky then that’s nice, but yoi don’t fight over it

I want Adam yelling "HOLY NOVA" as my phone's ringtone

Whats funny about the Dark Lord General fight was that it was actuslly a bug within the game, where the hard and normal setting for him was switched. If You upped the difficulty slider to Hard, you would actually be fighting the Normal difficulty variant instead. I remember trying to figure it out my self. Nit sure if it was patched or not.

I think the "teamwork" battle was pretty dramatic & high quality. (and the punchline was great too) Also, who doesn't love the look on his face after inadvertently creating "SUPER guard"? LOL

God you guys are all amazing actors. Thanks for making my days with these videos ^_^

I haven't seen the Cannon Fodder one before. Alan, Adam, Rowan, and Hamish made me hurt myself from laughing with their battle cries.

Cannon Fodder: There's nothing quite like being able to call on a few D-Classes from the SCP, huh? Kill Steal: Ben - "Please tell me that this is a PvP game...Please..." Well, you don't hear it but you know he's thinking it.

For a second I was like, hold on they've done this already how is this new? Then I realized it was another compilation.

Guard Rowan yeeting Adam with his sword is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, omg

That last one reminds me of Asheron's from 20 years ago. High level players go to starter towns, let a bunny kill them, leveling the bunny hugely. Then sit back and watch noob player corpses pile up in front of said bunny.

The first had me dying just like the rest

I love how this essentially is just a compilation of Hamish drawing the short end of the stick

Holy Nova has got to be one of the funniest things ever! Best compilation ever as well!

Cannon Fodder: I have used that technique so many times especially with guards that stand near city gates.

That bard should bring a bigger guitar that can be slammed and beat the boss while buffing his allies.

That scripted loss hurts... sister was playing one of the older Star Wars rpgs and almost beat this main Sith baddie in one of these "run around and survive before you can escape" kind of areas... straight up two-shot the Sith, and proceeded to wait around and see if they would still trigger the cutscene despite being one shot away from dying... seems they still had to run though, which was rather funny. It's always great when a game gives you something in exchange for beating a powerful character before their end-game boss fights such as how if you successfully defend your master in the opening of Sekiro you get a different cutscene where the enemy falls seemingly dead before coming up from behind to still take your arm.

These compilations of your awesome skits are so appreciated. Truly love you guys for all the laughs

The last clip when Rowan says super fast: " VIOLENCE IS A CRIME PUNISHABLE BY DEATH" is the best 😆😆😆
