One of the home versions of Dance Dance Revolution had a hidden boss stage called MAX.(period) in it. It uh... wasn't a particularly great piece of music by any stretch of the imagination, and the Expert stepchart is a pretty brutal and relentless affair, but there's one bit in the middle where it has a nice slow pattern (or what feels slow by comparison) to let you rest briefly and get your breath back before the ending. The step pattern in that section is a little odd, though, but the video playing in the background gives you a clue as to where it's from... ...it's actually the hardest part of the hardest song from the first version of DDR. I just thought that was loving brilliant.

And the distorted voice at the start is saying "WHY DO YOU NEED KONAMI ORIGINAL SONGS?". Guess they heard all the complaints about the lovely home version songlists.

In Guild Wars 2, one of the first renown hearts you encounter in the Asura starting area has you messing with the programming of a bunch of robots. Asura characters get a bunch of technobabble options, while any other race gets a bunch of simplistic meddling like cutting colored wires and messing with random parts (my favorite is "curse at it"  ) because they don't know how golem technology works.

I'm still playing through Assassin"s Creed 3. I really love the naval missions, especially all the little details in the ship. When you call for full or half sails the crew scurries around on deck actually lowering or raising the sails. Its not just you dictating where the ship goes, you control Connor who spins the steering wheel. It really give you the feeling that you're captaining a ship.

Mark of the Ninja doesn't really have a grandiose plot, it knows what it's going for and does it well. But the end is loving magnificent. You end up having to make a choice you had no clue even EXISTED up until then, but is actually a tough choice, considering everything that happened in the game.

If you did it outside Rome, your Assassins would ride in on horses and leap onto the poor son of a bitch whose day you decided to ruin with a casual gesture. That and when they'd just leap out of piles of hay/leaves like they'd always been there.

In Dawn of War 2, the Space Marines fire caseless ammunition like they're supposed to. Watching hundreds of non-fluff rounds hit the ground in Dawn of War 1 was irritating.

Stuff like units responding calmly when selected outside of combat, but yelling over comms when they're in a firefight. They even specify the type of cover enemies are hiding behind. Oddly enough, the Space Marine Terminator squad in DoW2 has a surprisingly large amount of takes on "Warp Spiders in the pipes!".

To contribute: I love how in XCOM, when you're shooting through a window, you smash out the window with the butt end of your weapon first. Also from XCOM: when you develop the laser and plasma weapons, there's a little cinematic showing one of your scientists testing them out on a firing range. He fires at a target with a picture of an alien on it. Fans of the old version of XCOM will recognize them as the UFOPedia pictures for the Sectoids and Mutons.

Yeah, you just don't see it coming, and it's so well-done regardless. How'd you end up choosing? I killed Azai because regardless of the fact that the tattoos were making me insane, he was still using me + he had Dosan locked up  I'm gonna pick the other option after NG+, probably.

Blind Sally posted:As far as I can tell, this song is unlike anything else in either Assault On Dark Athena or Escape From Butcher Bay. I like how in Rival Ball (a Breakout derivative), if you hit enough gold bricks in a row, all the non-explosive bricks turn into normal bricks so you only have to hit them once, preventing the ball from getting trapped. Also if you spend too much time without hitting any bricks when only a few are left, lightning comes and strikes some of them so it doesn't drag on forever.

Back when Halo 2 first came out, my friend and I thought it was hilarious that in the campaign, when two GIANT spider-like robots were destroying a town, one of your fellow soldiers thought it necessary to shout, "TWO SCARABS, I COUNT TWO SCARABS!!!!!"

My Lovely Horse posted:Similar to this, the riding controls in Shadow of the Colossus get a bad rap for being sluggy and unresponsive, but there's a point to it: you're controlling the rider, not the horse itself. Something I noticed on the second playthrough was that the horse would follow a narrow path if you just let it do its job and didn't try to steer it along it. Crossing the bridges near the castle became much easier. Also you can kill pretty much any wildlife you see. None of the killing is mandatory and only one animal provides something useful for you. You can also grab a flying bird and it will carry you for a little while before it tires. There's so much cool little stuff in Shadow of the Colossus, but I'm pretty sure most of it has been posted in this thread already.

Crossing the bridges near the castle became much easier. Yeah the horse was horsey as gently caress. You kind of just had to let it do it's own thing; it was programmed like an animal with an actual sense of self preservation, rather than a four legged motorcycle.

There's a lot less stupid twang-guitar spectacle and more skulking around enemy camps, carefully planning who to shank/arrow first. Or just walking in with a flamethrower and torching everybody while some wub-wub reggae drops the bass, that's okay too.

I was getting set up to take down a base, and I was using the Steam Chat overlay to tell someone about it. I close the overlay and I hear a warbling noise. I turn around, and there's a Cassowary behind me. I move away from it, and turn back around. More warbling. Now there's 3 more surrounding me on all sides. loving things were trying to pull a 'clever girl' moment on me.

I rented Far Cry 3 and proceeded to completely ignore the story, and spend the first five hours of the game running around the island hunting animals, climbing radio towers, and clearing encampments. It is far to much fun to sneak into a camp, set up a series of carefully placed mines and C4, disable the alarm, and then sneak out of the camp and shoot the door off the leopard cage.

Replaying Dishonored now and I noticed something really cool. No spoilers involved just a neat little touch they put in. In the High Overseers office there are a number of urns all over the place holding the remains of famous Overseers. If you attack them the ashes will spill out onto the floor. Except for one guy. I destroyed his urn and nothing came out. Confused I checked his little blurb and it says that he died but no body was ever recovered. Hence the empty urn.

His teammates always conveniently seem to be "out in the field" whenever you need them, he's not really any better equipped than anyone else on the island, and when he leaves, he says he's going to link up with Task Force 141 for extraction. That game seriously has the best combat I've ever played. You spend a lot of time watching and planning, and then annihilate an entire enemy outpost in seconds of intense violence. It's so satisfying to watch a plan click into place like that. Of course, you can always just wait for bears or a pack of dingoes to show up
