This is interesting (and horribly formatted). http://www.chrissawyergames.com/feature1.htm An old GeoCities-esque page posted:The movie "Mission Impossible 2" contains exactly the same crowd sound effect as was used in RollerCoaster Tycoon ! It's well hidden, but if you watch the film carefully, you'll notice the same "Come on, come on, come on" chant in amongst the crowd background sound as exists in RollerCoaster Tycoon. There's no connection between Mission Impossible 2 and RollerCoaster Tycoon though, only that the film makers happened to licence exactly the same 30-second sound recording as we licensed for the game.

Sometimes reading threads in here something about a video game like Counter Strike or TF2 will come up. And if the stars align the conversation will bring up Unusual hats or knives that sell for hundreds of dollars. The bewilderment of how someone could pay that much for an item from a video game is always glorious to read.

StabMasterArson posted:Battlefield Hardline's singleplayer has a mission where you're breaking into somebody's mansion when suddenly armed goons show up! One of the rooms has a huge tv and video game consoles set up with pizza boxes lying around. If you watch the 2 guards in the room for long enough, one of them actually turns the game on and starts playing Dead Space. Even cooler, if you distract the guy playing with a noise or letting him think he's spot you, if you go check the TV again you'll see he paused the game before coming to look for you Now I know I need to buy the game, that sounds awesome.

In Borderlands 2 (side note: if anyone wants to play co-op I'm on Xbox Live as MarvelousPants) there's a mission to rename the Bullymongs. At one point the guy gets frustrated because his names keep getting shot down and he calls them Bonerfarts. Everyone knows this one. During this part of the mission, though, the smaller Bullymongs get renamed to Bonertoots

Every bullymong in the game is renamed to bonerfart while you're on that stage of the quest. So of course my friends had one of us never finish that quest on his playthrough, and made sure he was always hosting.

You can see those early in the game too. They're all over the first section just outside of Liar's Berg. Pretty sure there's some in the areas where you find Corporal Reise as you're trying to get into Sanctuary

These all sound interesting, but I need you all to shut up and realize that the Saints Row franchise is the best ever when it comes to little things. This is the game that made it okay to gently caress around because it's fun, and that is beautiful. These are the games where very few things are gritty, and my co-op partner and I could soup up a pair of mopeds with nitrous and decals and zing off to try and gently caress up the Ronin. Dressed as sexy cowboys. And then in the DLC for number four, watch a Disney Musical number about it. Brilliant.

Bloodborne will splatter your character with blood and other body fluids during fights, including the lovely water and sewage you trawl through. You will look absolutely disgusting after a violent encounter and it's wonderful.

It's great as it's one of the things you don't really notice until you stop after a fight and look at how much crap's been splattered everywhere. There's even big streaks and splashes of blood over the scenery if someone's been knocked around.

Dragon Age: Origins had blood splatter that would persist into cutscenes as well. It also automatically removed helmets from characters during the cutscenes and when you were in non-combat areas which was great. It was the first game I remember playing that did that. It was a minor annoyance in older games, but when games started having stuff like facial mo-cap it started to feel like you were missing out on a lot of work from the developers because you had equipped your character with a helmet. Mass Effect 2 was frustrating with that, because I'd spent time building my character's face in the last game, and cosmetic effects would happen to the character based on player actions, but if you wanted to use a helmet instead of the doofy looking visor or go equipment less you couldn't see your face for most of the game.

I've been playing Max Payne 3 again, and despite the pretty huge problem that is the unskippable cutscenes, that game does a lot of poo poo really well. Particularly the soccer stadium level, which gives you a lot of high staircases to leap down for super-long shootdodges where you can headshot like five guys in one go. Also the way it handles bulletproof vests- they'll stop rounds from handguns and the like, but if you pump a few into the vest, it'll stun or knock down the guy wearing it if they don't end up punching through. Hell, with the heavily armored guys, it's worth it to spray them with an SMG to knock them on their back so you can get at the spots the armor can't cover, which is a classy way of saying "shoot them in the taint".

The character creator in Dragonball Xenoverse (i.e. Create A Goku) let's you compare yourself to a spectral Goku, so you don't have that problem where the character looks fine in the character creator but is out of scale with everything in the actual game.

I thought that was so great. I think all games need to be way improved on the previewing. Let me see poo poo with real game lighting and with normal animations and talking so I can tell if this poo poo falls apart when the game loads. Also more Goku in all games.

This drove me especially nuts in Saint's Row games. Usually when I started up a new game, I'd immediately hit the plastic surgeon to try to find something that the color grading or animations didn't agree with (other times these problems improved the experience, so whatever).

That's something Xenoverse gets right as well. The lighting's as bright as most of the rest of the game. I LOATHE the DA:Inquisition character creator because it's dark with a green glow that makes colors tricky to discern.

Combined with the fact that there are no face codes like in Mass Effect, and that your character won't stop fidgeting every three seconds, so good luck trying to match any sliders by naked eye!  I hate that character creator so goddamn much that it physically hurts. Not to mention that the entire prologue of the game also has weird lighting, so you have to get all the way through to Haven in order to see what your character will look like for the other 99% of the game. The Black Emporium literally cannot be added fast enough.

One tiny thing I really get a kick out of in Battlefield: Hardline is that when you're playing as a criminal, occasionally spotting an enemy will, instead of the usual pointing animation, have your character flip them the bird. There's something really special about your guy taking the time to flip off a police sniper who just took a shot at him before ducking behind cover.

My favorite little thing in ME3 is that they somehow managed to screw up character import, to the point where a code from ME2 would actually generate a completely different face in ME3. And slider matching didn't really work either, when they somehow threw out the settings they'd had for 1 and 2, and made it so that a slide position in 1 would carry over into 2, but would be something entirely different in 3.

Agreed. Every character I've made so far has looked about two shades paler in-game than in the character creator. Better hair would also be nice, but it's Bioware so that probably isn't happening. However, I do love that one of the default Hawke heads is grotesquely fat.
