There was a platformer for the PS2 called Whiplash about two animal testing subjects trying to escape the headquarters of the company that was experimentig on them, it was mostly forgettable but one of its big gimmicks was that you were trying to bring the company's net worth down to $0 by destroying everything in the building and the levels had tons of office and laboratory equipment to smash apart. I always wish another, better game tried to copy that mechanic because it made destroying everything in sight and watching the millions of dollars slowly tick down as you played so satisfying.

I would hope he knew, considering he was there. Content! The wall smash move in Mad Max. Oh man I haven't found a more satisfying to end a fight than bullrushing a dude into a wall, giving him a few punches, and the cracking his noggin on the wall. The sound is just so good.

In Warframe there are 3 basic damage types: Slash, puncture and impact. The first bow weapon did high puncture damage that would pin space pirates to the wall. Later, they released one that did mostly slash. Its arrows would slice people in two and easily decapitate even the big guys. What I like is that the arrow head isn't a point, it's a fanned blade.

I'm going to be that dick who can't shut up about mgsv and say it does this sense of physicality really well. Fighting in close quarters is rare, but you end up jumping around the room, throwing each other against furniture etc, its very good

When do you get to customize guns?

There is a chain of three Side Ops about finding a legendary gunsmith. Gun customization unlocks after the third one.

You can use just about anything you actually have researched, and many of the items (scopes, stocks, muzzles) are interchangeable between different types of guns.' Plus, on the PC version, there's a bug that lets you put any item you want in any location on any gun, so you can have stupid poo poo like an underbarrel rifle stock on your silenced LMG-magazine rocket launcher w/optical zoom rifle scope and side-mount shotgun

The 2009 Ghostbusters game had a running counter of how much property damage you caused, with an achievement for staying under $100,000 worth of damages, and another for doing over $3,000,000. Speaking of property damage and achievements, the Saints Row series has a minigame called Mayhem where the goal is to chain together the destruction of just about everything to reach a certain amount of money. In the first two games, the best strategy was to focus on fences, as each segment was separate and built up your chain bonus fast. Saint Row the Third pays homage to this by having the achievement for fully completing the Mayhem activity be called "Fence Killa 2011".

When City of Villains came out, it introduced a new kind of randomly-generated mission: mayhem missions. You'd go into an instanced version of a section of Paragon City, with your objective being to rob a bank, but with a bunch of side objectives like setting fires or busting fellow villains out of jail to add time to the mission clock. One of these side objectives was vandalism: blowing up cars, fire hydrants, cardboard boxes, and so on. The way I hear it, the intention was that these objects would scale in level like everything else in the game, but instead they had fixed levels... and even the most difficult to destroy objects had a fairly low level. Which meant that, when you got to high levels of supervillainy, you could absolutely trash your surroundings, giving you a feeling of increasing power that, sadly, not a lot of the rest of the game had (thanks to the aforementioned content scaling). Thankfully, they didn't patch it out.

Yeah and if you had a damage aura and superspeed you could zoom around in a minute and take out every small-medium object before the first fight. gently caress I miss that game.

I have both of those GB achievements and holy gently caress was it hard to get, there are certain areas where destroying even a single thing would be like 200,000 or some poo poo, mostly in the museum, you had to be very careful with your shots. gently caress I wanna play that game again, it was so drat good.

Thinky Whale posted:I love the idea of, like, Doctor Doom running around kicking people's mailboxes over. The City of Heroes equivalent, Safeguard Missions, had you going in to stop a villain from robbing a bank. The villain that would spawn as the boss actually scaled up dependent on your level and team size, so by the end you actually did get the big signature villains robbing a local bank vault. I don't think the Doom parallel spawned, but I know his lieutenants did; half of them would definitely not be the bank robbing sort, so it had an extra layer of humor. Saint's Row's Mayhems were actually pretty directly inspired by City of Villains'. The whole series borrows from it, actually, to the point where they named one of the characters in 3 and 4 after CoH's lead dev, Matt Miller. Miller's superpowered outfit in 4 looks to be based vaguely off of some CoH costumes, too.

I want to say Hulk: Ultimate Destruction had a count of how much damage you did. God I wish they'd make another one of those. I've mentioned it before in this thread but it is top tier as far as superhero games go. Hell, freeroaming games in general. Elbow dropping tanks and knocking down buildings. Superman Returns was a lovely game but I loved the flying mechanics about it. Mainly because if you got up high and got up enough speed you'd break the sound barrier and create a sonic boom.

I assume the graphics are worse but is there any actual content missing? I've got it on the 360 (i'm poor and I couldn't wait, also didn't want the game being spoiled) and I'm loving it, got the day one edition and you get a ballistic shield (haven't used that very much) an mgo xp boost (not online so useless for now) a desert cardboard box (massively useful, use it all the time)a lovely gun called adamska that takes the mick out of ocelot in mgs3 but is otherwise rubbish, and some blue camouflage for swamp and marshes(hasn't come in useful yet)

I'm 81 hours into MGSV, and I've finished the story. So I'm like drat 81 hours, still a ton of content to play around with, what a... Wait what? Chapter 2? Wait all this was just the first chapter? And new gameplay mechanics? "Boss you can now develop nuclear warheads." The gently caress did you just say?

They're for FOBs, and it basically means you can't be invaded unless the invader has 150000 heroism and if they fail, you can completely wipe their fob off the phase of the earth. They cost a metric shitload of gmp and a literal day of playing to develop.

I keep hearing about demon points. Making a nuke gives you like 50,000 demon points. Stealing and disarming other player's nukes lowers it a bit. Might be a troll hoax, 4chan isn't too reliable. Anybody have any first hand experience? Probably just photoshops of a longer 'horn' on Snake. I'm hoping its not true because I am not a sneaky guy. I snipe loudly, I use rockets, and I kill everybody who doesn't have at least a B in something. Arx Monolith has a new favorite as of 19:03 on Sep 12, 2015 |
