Seanbaby is basically Maddox if Maddox was actually funny, a martial artist, and didn't look like a cancer patient.

Pikmin gives you such nice feelings of achievement. Don't make the beginner mistake I made though, just because your character can go through water doesn't mean all Pikmin can. I accidentally committed a genocide of 70 reds and there was nothing I could do as they screamed and drown watching their betrayed ghosts float away. Probably the most haunting moment of any game ever.

In Destiny, your character is accompanied by a ghost, a small flying robot that seemingly lives in your pocket and flies out to perform various tasks. When you open the menu your character takes out the ghost and holds it in front of him- but he doesn't if you open the menu while the ghost is elsewhere in the middle of doing something. The ghost's voice also changes when it's on duty; when it's in your pocket you hear his voice directly out of the speakers as though he's right where you are, but if he's out in the world his voice is directional and if you walk too far away it switches to radio. The ghost also produces your flashlight by hovering over your shoulder and shining a beam of light, but again, while he's away he can't do this and you temporarily don't have a flashlight.

I'll never understand why future-tech games don't have flashlights. In Halo 2, they made the super-advanced alien Arbiter guy not have a flashlight for some reason. Like, at what point did illumination not become a priority for arms manufacturers?

If you play on PS4 your controller lights up accordingly. I'm pretty sure every post I've made in this thread is about PS4 games and how the interact with your controller.

I also liked the cloaking device better anyway- the game almost never puts you anywhere so dark that the flashlight helps, and the cloak changes up how he plays.

In the licensed FRIENDS FMV game there was a reference to Matthew Perry's drug abuse  I know it's old but I'm going to spoiler it because it was a great moment When you escape from the blizzard and enter Central Perk (the coffee shop hangout), Chandler has snow stuck in his fake moustache (an inventory item from earlier, don't ask) and instead of wiping it away he snorts it in

Sometimes the controller thing is used in a cool way, but I don't really understand the need for your controller to become a spotlight everytime you flick on your flashlight in-game.

Was playing Metal Gear Solid 3 HD last night and noticed something new - while in the torture scene you can see the Sorrow holding up a note to dial a certain frequency - you use it to escape from your cell afterwards. Prior to the torture scene, though, you're talking to Sokolov and there's some blueprints/schematics in the background. Something I've only noticed in the HD version? That same frequency is clear as day on the blueprints. I wonder if it was always there and only updating the textures made it legible?

Crypt of the Necrodancer is a cool roguelike where every turn happens on the beat of the music so the game is very heavily rhythm oriented. One of the bosses is an entire chessboard with all the pieces being enemies that move like they should to a blues tune. The name of the boss? Deep blues. Also another boss has a huge conga line of zombies to conga music, it's great.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:SWAT 4 had a pretty great atmosphere to it. Most missions weren't the standard "Terrorists have taken over the generic industrial plant". In one early one you're pulling an arrest warrant on a serial killer suspect where the only person in the house is him and his crazy mother, but (at least the first time),but you have no idea where so you have to slowly clear room by room. Less known fact is this was made by Irrational Games of Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite fame. Starts to make sense. Loved the SWAT games.

When you're in jail, if you throw the food the guard gives you back out of the cell he'll eat it. If you do it three times, he'll strike up a conversation with you and the frequency is on the back of a photograph he pulls out during the cutscene.

For whatever sad reason the only digital distributor that had SWAT 4 was Direct2Drive, and when they got sold to Gamefly it went bye bye.  Edit: The next closest thing is SWAT 3 on Gog.com. John Murdoch has a new favorite as of 03:12 on Sep 30, 2014 |

He also gives you back your cigarettes which are really loaded with anesthetic gas so you can knock him out and escape without risking an alert. My favourite way of escaping the cell was going into the survival viewer, spinning Snake round with the analogue stick 5 or 6 times. When you resume the game he'll  and the guard will come in to make sure you're OK. At which point you can stab him in the neck with your fork.

The bonus scene with the raptors brutally destroying Ross with bazookas and machine guns was probably the high point of video game design.

Metal Gear Solid 3, and for that matter all of the MGS games, are full of little things. We could probably fill at least a few more pages of the thread with nothing but them  Another exapmle: if you ate rotten food and got food poisoning, if you spin Snake around and make him vomit, it goes away.

Some more MGS3 off the top of my head: Saving in the prison cell, then restarting your game causes Snake to have a nightmare, which is actually a playable demo for an action game that never got finished called Guy Savage. Sadly, it's gone in the HD collection. While fighting The End, if you set your clock ahead several days he'll die of old age. You can also snipe him right after he's introduced much earlier in the game and kill him then. When you're replaying the game and have the Single-Action Army, you can use the right stick in first person mode to do tricks. If you do this while dueling Ocelot, he'll say how impressed he is and do his own tricks along with you. One that a lot of people know, but is so stupidly specific that it bears repeating: If you kill a soldier in a mountain area, and a vulture starts eating him, and then you kill that vulture, and then eat it, later on when you're fighting The Sorrow, that soldier will yell out "YOU ATE ME!"
