WeaponGradeSadness posted:Another little detail I like is that you get a player's dog tags if you knife-kill them, which as far as I'm aware isn't really used for anything but bragging rights, but in most, if not all, of those animations you can actually see the killer ripping off the victim's dog tags with their other hand. Yeah, and the trophy/achievement you get for doing it is called MIA, which always struck me as being kind of depressing

A couple more from Ace Combat: Assault Horizon: Sometimes when you shoot down a plane, you get an action shot of the plane exploding and breaking apart. Occasionally you can see the pilot ragdolling from the explosion. In another mission you're a helicopter gunner and you get attacked by an enemy chopper. When you shoot it down, you can see the blood splattered cockpit through the spidewebbed glass.

Another really cool thing about the takedowns in BF3 is that you can knife them in the front if they're in the middle of a reload.

Any game that lets me adjust the background music volume separately from the sound effect volume. Even in games with great music, there's just something magical about only having the game's sound effects and ambiance.

One thing I love about Space Station 13 is... a bit silly, and probably nothing to do with the game itself. At the end of every round (which last about an hour, usually) everyone still alive will probably be making their way to the escape shuttle. Most of the time, there'll be a dozen or so people, all waiting nervously outside the shuttle doors, waiting for it to arrive, then running around screaming inside it in the hope that it leaves before the inevitable remaining traitor lobs a pipe bomb in. And, without exception, everyone has their own ridiculously story to tell. Not, most likely, that they ever will. Why does the Barman have such a grudge against the Chef that he keeps beating him with a fire extinguisher in between vomiting and crying? Why is that miner carrying so many ducks in? Why is the Botanist trapped in a locker? Who turned that Assistant into an epileptic naked black woman? Why does the janitor have superpowers and an unremoveable owl costume? Why did the mild-mannered Head of Personnel just shed his human shell and drag the screaming Detective into a maintenance shaft? What is that strange Ancient One that keeps popping in and out of existence and is it connected to why the Quartermaster is shrieking about spiders and pigs that nobody else can see? I just love that everyone has their separate yet interconnected stories. Strange and baffling things are a certainty in SS13, and you'll almost never know what's going on in any given part of the station. And then, at the end, all these little, personal, organic stories come together in one last explosion of complete stupidity, often literally. Every genetic experiment, improbable foodstuff, neurotoxin cocktail, every grudge, every renegade monkey, all come together and have their part to play in the last desperate rush for freedom. I don't know what it is, exactly, there's just something so... oddly heartwarming about these little vignettes.

I really like the pawns dialogue in Dragon's Dogma. Well, generally. If I hear "What a big tree" one more time... I started a new game and picked up some lower leveled pawns just to help out newer players, these pawns never seen skeletons before. Getting into fights with them and the pawns are just utterly confused: "A human skeleton that can move by itself?!" Also when you run into drakes for the first time, and they mistake it for THE dragon. I recall in San Andreas, after jacking a lot of ambulances on the radio chatter they remarked about some psycho stealing ambulances. In Final Fantasy IX there is a card game that you need at least 5 cards to play. I started a new game and randomly decided to challenge someone without having 5 cards to see what they say. First person I talk to is a noble and he says "You need at least 5 cards to play my boy!" The "My boy" part stuck to me, oddly specific thing to say I thought. So I started challenging everyone in the first city to card games. Almost every single one of them had something unique to say in regards to not having 5 cards, and now I'm tempted to toss all my cards and see what people say later in the game.

I really like the artwork in Primordia (been playing the demo of it). It's got a giger-esque feel in all the larger structures that make them feel like something different than the usual "wrecked present-day city" designs you see in most post-armageddon world designs. Each location I've seen so far also does a really good job of implying how they individually came to be that way too (as a pose to "the bomb(s) did it")Leal posted:I recall in San Andreas, after jacking a lot of ambulances on the radio chatter they remarked about some psycho stealing ambulances.

Even in games with great music, there's just something magical about only having the game's sound effects and ambiance. That's actually a really common thing. Actually, all games put on the 360 need to have the ability to silence the music track, in the event that the player wants to use a custom soundtrack. The only question is, did the dev make it a binary (on/off) sort of thing, or did they include a slider to adjust volume? Most of them put a slider in.

This thread has already talked enough about Sleeping Dogs, but I like that there's a different animation for reloading an empty gun, where Wei pulls the slide. It's something you'd see in Call of Duty, but seeing it in a GTA-esque game is a nice touch.

In Final Fantasy X, after the end of boss battles, a cutscene would play out before going to the EXP and Items victory screen. It helped keep the dramatic tension of the story.

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb plays a lot like an Indy film, whipping guns out of Nazi's hands, hitting them with chairs, that kind of thing. Greatest bit is: If Indy takes too much damage in a short space of time his hat gets knocked off, and after the fight you can calmly stroll over and pick it up, occassionally getting a celebratory "da-da-da-DAAAAA"

In the original Half-Life, some of the Marines wore red berets. The Black Mesa fan remakes retains this feature with the added bonus of the berets falling off of the soldiers' heads when they die; later in the game, you will occasionally encounter Marines with mirrored sunglasses and/or cigars (which behave in a similar manner to the berets.) This may hark back to the original Marine concept art where they envisioned a commander with a squad machine gun and a cigarette in his mouth.

I've been playing Dragonborn, the new Skyrim add-on. In it, you have a number of opportunities to visit Apocrypha, Hermaeus Mora's plane of Oblivion. Its gimmick is that it's a practically endless library of all knowledge, and so enemies and chests there often contain a number of books. If you're a fan of the lore, you can be sucked right in just as designed, even though it postpones fighting the big evil at the end of it all. It was neat to me that it went beyond just scenery.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena end credits are quite long, giving it enough time to play a number of songs. The first track is some generic metal song--fitting the "bad-rear end-itude" of the game, I guess. The second one is a track from the game's OST, which is fine. The last track is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX9RP-GCbq8

I got one from Quantum Conundrum. When you look at pictures and change the dimensions, the pictures change too, like looking at a picture of Widget III and Gidget, changing to the fuzzy dimension, makes the cat super fuzzy, change to heavy dimension and the cat gets corpse paint and cat gloves with spikes and just being a general metalhead, and slowing down time just showing the cat looking at time. It's a nice little funny touch.
