In Tomodachi Life, you can give the Miis that populate your island presents when they level up. They actually use the presents when they're on their own. I gave a rent-a-cat coupon to one of my Miis awhile ago, and when I checked on him just now he was playing with a black cat in his apartment

Only GFWL issue I ever had was back with Bioshock 2 - it would install GFWL but wouldn't let me sign into my account. Also had issues downloading patches & DLC until I ended up removing the GFWL components & reinstalling via the MS website.

Also in Blacklist, the Sonar Goggles, which have replaced the thermal goggles since Conviction, work pretty much as you'd expect the old SC thermals to work... but with sonar instead because  . There's a mission in London where the weather is kind of awful, and every time there's a thunderclap in the distance, your sonar goggles static out a bit because of the noise overload.Despite this, they are weirdly unaffected by gunfire.

I'm not sure if this happened in the first game, but in the new GRID game, if you're driving from an in-the-car perspective and break a window/windshield, the crowd noise gets louder.carry on then posted:I'm still waiting for a game to take place in Phoenix. Ideally something like Watch Dogs but I'd settle for a single level. We're not that bad. Apparently the followup to Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator, is going to be based in California with the first expansion being Arizona, so we'll have that at least. You can finally just plow through the traffic on the 60 without giving a single poo poo.

Looks like someone doesn't know about the amorphous blob of suburbs that is the Phoenix Metro Area. As for plowing through traffic, I have to give Watch Dogs props for not having the police come after you for traffic violations. Nothing like barreling through Pawnee in the not-Firebird ramming everything on wheels off the road as you make your way to do donuts in the Blume parking lot.

I think the cops do care about moving violations, but only those they personally witness (a cruiser spawns naturally in the world, which is very rare, and you horse around in its line of sight). Once I switched to alert status out of nowhere while bombing down some backwoods road and that's the only way I can think of that it could have happened.

Persona 3 FES: If your teammates get critical hits sometimes they'll compliment or encourage each other. This is pretty generic for the most part but you do have a party member who is a dog, so it's possible to hear "Good boy! You deserve a treat!"

If enough go missing the last guys will panic and back off into a group, camping a doorway, or group together and refuse to separate. They'll also do something similar if you're murdering them in a straight out gunfight - freak out and refuse to advance on you because you've just killed a hundred of their guys holy poo poo. It's surprisingly reactive AI. There's also 'heavy' guys who are in bulky armour and helmets, but you can shoot the latter off. If you do that then occasionally they'll stop and a double take at the fact their head is now vulnerable. It's so stupid.

I blew through all 5 Blackwell games this weekend. There were many little moments I appreciated considerably. Something I thought was really funny was that the final part of the second to last game is basically peak Reddit: A creep in a fedora stuck in a platonic relationship drops negs on the woman to get her to break up with her new boyfriend and save the day. Non Spoiler: The art quality increases exponentially over the course of the games, until the point in the final game where I genuinely am curious how they pulled it off. The screens in a particular shop in Epiphany are particularly impressively animated. Not bad for a game that runs on a tiny, tiny resolution.

Dave Gilbert himself actually showed up in the thread of an ongoing screenshot LP of the Blackwell games (you'll need to go back a page to see him popping in to say hi), and apparently as cmndstab goes through Epiphany there's going to be some commentary from him about it. quote:Also, for those of you who have already played Epiphany (and I strongly recommend it, it's brilliant), there will be an extra reason for you to check out the LP when it arrives. In an extremely cool act, creator Dave Gilbert made himself available to answer a whole bunch of my spergy little questions about some of the more ambiguous parts of the series, such as individual character motivations, his thoughts on how the Blackwell universe operates and so forth. I will be including a little tidbit after each update, with roughly half of them discussing events from Epiphany while the other half discuss events from the previous games.

Ikaruga's first boss is a giant flying Gundam style mech called Eboshidori. If you don't attack it at all, when 100 seconds pass it salutes you before flying away. According to the backstory, the pilot of it is the main character's archenemy or somesuch.

Metro: Last Light feels like it's constantly nudging you towards a stealthy approach, but it's really impressive when poo poo actually goes down and the alarm sounds. When you raise a ruckus in a Reich outpost, the moment when dudes in enormous riot armor come down an elevator and slooowly start advancing... the way their laser sights and headlamps sweep the darkness could be a 1-to-1 recreation from a movie.

That always cracked me up.

On the Saints Row site before they put the SR4 material up, there was a short snippet regarding the setting stating that it was illegal for kids to be on the street in the city, or something like that. Savvy.

The first Mafia game had a whole thing where if you were speeding or running lights you could get pulled over by the cops. Turns out that mechanic is super not fun.

In Batman: Arkham City's Catwoman DLC Catwoman is a playable character and is extremely sexy. One of her moves is a sliding attack where you run and then slide into enemies in order to knock them over. Functionally, Batman has the same attack, but Catwoman's is kicked up a notch. When Batman does the sliding attack he does the kind of slide you see baseball players do when they slide for a base, it looks OK and it is powerful, but Catwoman's sliding attack is just as powerful and several times more sexy. What she does is; 1) she gets on her knees, 2) she leans really far backwards so she is almost lying down 3) she spreads her legs, all of which is sexy individually, but when put together and accompined with her battle moans is probably the single most sexy move in the Arkham Series.

I've been playing STALKER Lost Alpha lately, which recently had its 1.0 release. I highly recommend it to anyone with a remote interest in STALKER, FPS or RPG games in general, as long as you can handle the token jank that's still being ironed out. It's 100% free and doesn't require any previous STALKER games. For those not in the know, a team of modders took the alpha builds of STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl that were released by GSC and have been building an entire STALKER game out of it. There's so much content and features, it's glorious. It's quickly becoming my favourite STALKER game. My favourite little thing however: Anyone that's played a STALKER game before knows how integral PDAs are to the universe, although they're typically only used for missions and objectives. In Lost Alpha you actually get the odd texts from random STALKERs in the zone, sometimes with a science joke, sometimes warning of a mutant hot spot, or even a rumor on a stash. It's a really nice distraction when running/driving long distances in the zone and adds a sense of life to the often desolate world. Jehde has a new favorite as of 09:17 on Jul 10, 2014 |
