CK2 has great little references all throughout it. It may just be time for another playthru to see the new additions.

For content:

e: Speaking of Paradox games, I never quite understood what this was a reference to. You find a planetoid with an interesting "mountain range" and upon successfully researching it you discover the mountain range is in fact the giant skeleton of a long deceased creature. What is this referencing?

I believe this could be possibly a reference to Planescape: Torment.

One of the areas features a ginormous skeleton of a dragon or colossus or something similar. There's a curmudgeonly guy living underneath it who is magically bound to help you with various things - including telling you how to get out of the area.

There's an exit portal under the skeleton's arse. :getin:

edit - this is amazing, possibly the most niche reference I've seen in a game!

One last thing about Bravely Second thing, the final boss was pretty great.
Halfway through, he pauses the fight to formally address you for being an rear end in a top hat for playing video games, takes control of your game, goes back to the title screen and tries to delete your save file.

I'm replaying GTA V in the PS4 version. It added a bunch of new songs, such as Cat's in the Cradle. And I don't know if it was just random animations playing out, but I swear I saw Michael wiping tears from his eyes when that came on the radio.

Less ambiguous: in an early game mission Michael needs to pose as an IT guy at a tech bro company and buys an appropriate outfit at a store, feeding the clerk a story about having a job interview. After that mission, if you ever revisit the store as Michael, she recognizes him and follows up on the story.

It's a very shallow game in many respects, but I'm pretty sure you could play it many times and never catch all the dialogue.

The thing I really liked about that was rather than the usual meta "you suck so loving much for playing video games" twist, the character's response was "Awesome, it's rad to have this guy along for our adventure who makes sure don't die! Thanks for the help, sky god!"

I think it might've already been posted here, but here's another example of "they thought to code for this?" in GTAV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mIMogB5GkU

Like you say, there's a lot to the game that even a dedicated person would never encounter in their playthrough. I was amazed at the sheer amount of dialogue that could quite possibly never be heard through the 'hangout with friends' system. It's practically MGS codec levels of dialogue.

The other characters will call you to bitch you out if you steal their personal vehicles.

CK2: I'm playing a game with frequent BLACK DEATH, and watching the ruling classes of the world get regularly eviscerated by the Black Death every 25-50 years is comical. Large empires regularly descend into civil wars because of the Plague King modifier. It's magnificent. It's like watching the world burn, over, and over, and over again.

The actual gameplay mechanics are super shallow. The world itself is largely empty and has very little to do that isn't just driving around. It has impressive size and detail but is largely skin-deep as there's no meaningful way to interact with most of it. It's massive but that size actually works against it because the interesting things to do in the world are spread out extremely thinly. It's polished as hell and a very impressive achievement but it's got little to do in-world if you're not interested in just driving around causing things to explode. (And if you're looking to cause things to explode a lot of the competition is less polished but offers more options.)

Like genuinely, aside from its size, GTAV is less impressive from a design standpoint than San Andreas which is brimming with all sorts of weird poo poo and fun breaks from the gameplay in addition to being a stunning experience on the PS2.

Edit: In related to my favorite little thing in SA: The Jetpack. It's a goofy item you get from the Area-51-alike sidequest but once you get it you have the ability to just fly around at will. It's an incredibly feeling thing for a franchise which tends to limit your upward mobility to helicopters or planes.

Space station 13 has a ton of poo poo. Here's someone' spoiler list, posted without explanation

ErikHanson posted:

I recently decided to quit playing SS13 as a whole due to various degrees of drama and other things going on behind the scenes, and now that i finally have a new job, i don't really have the time to play anymore, so i decided to share my notepad and other various things I've learned over the past year(s) of playing on Goonstation, please don't use this for awful or lovely things.

The bad ending can be completed < 30 minutes, even faster if you manage to spawn with a key in your backpack.

The bee egg & bee key from the bee station west of the diner.

The House key from the DJ Station East of the diner.

The Future key from the Future ship East of the DJ Station.

The Phaser from the Future ship.

One Key Lime Pie.

Just take a stop at the russian ship to plant some limes, and get back to it once you got the other items from the biodome.

The Book & Key from the Biodome caves.

The Dongle from the Biodome satelite.

The final key from the iridium drone.

You can kill the iridium drone solo by simply getting a drill-pod and drilling it by mashing space-bar.

Putting an obsidian crown onto a owl critter owl-gibs you, and then disconnects you.

There is a *johnny emote that almost nobody knows of (Dixon Balls, please. He had a family Clark Clarkson takes a drag from a cigarette and blows his name out in smoke.)

There is a *monologue emote for the detective, good detectives use it.

WiFi mechanics components have a cooldown, but you can get rid of that by simply putting down multiple of them, allowing you to quite literally spam the ever-living poo poo out of people, or PDA bomb the entire crew on the same tick.

You can get to CentComm by placing a teleporter beacon on one of the trader shuttles, and then using a locker to enter a teleporter set to said beacon.

Phlogiston mixed with Thermite and dilluted with water or FFoam will literally allow you to melt down all station walls with one beaker of you keep dilluting it.

Cold Beer heals toxin damage.

IV Drips are magical fun devices, fill them with the requirements for a flashbang, wear goggles and ear protection and nobody will ever stun you whilst you run around rampaging the station.

Mixing Vodka with Changeling blood is an easy, and tasty way to test people! "The blood feverishly tries to escape the burn of the vodka, but eventually succumbs."

lithium causes people to step into random directions each life tick it's inside them, makes a great potion.

mercury causes brain damage, mix it with some lithium for a fun time.

phosphorus is a great way to cause your plants to grow fast(er)

plasma causes epinephrine to decay faster.

Using mutagen on banana plants will give them the Immortal gene which can easily be spliced into man eating plants, and hostile tomato plants, if you're into being a shitfucker.

energydrink, morphine and salicylic_acid and methamphetamine are good ways to go fast.

mutadone re-sets your genetic stability to 100.

strange green goop allows you to see ghosts.

you don't take damage inside bath tubs, ice cubes, honey cubes and various other station objects.

glass shards are OP! High tier gems can do up to and above 30 damage per click.

c-sabers do an instant KO when you hit someone with it whilst de-activated.

you can stack cloaking devices on top of each other to create an invisible field that is really really invisible.

Creating meth causes people in range to receive 10 units of toxin, and 20 units of neurotoxin if they dont wear masks.

Making Jenkem also does this, but with 25 units of Jenkem.

vanilla has a chance to remove your genetic effects.

IV drips filled with mutadone and smoke powder are a great way to annoy geneticists.

potassium is great for plants too!

sugar causes overdoses at 200 units, their are various chemicals that decay into high amounts of sugar and cause them to go into overdose and get knocked down, cheap neurotoxin alternative.

holy water has a one percent change to cure a disease.

triplemeth fucks you up once you have more than 20 units of it, but it grants you 1000 stamina regen rate.

lime juice and orange juice and lemon juice and lemonade will blind people that don't wear a mask.

triple citrus will remove small amounts of toxin damage.

omnizine overdoses at 30 units.

Gin and Sonic decays into meth.

Gin and Chronic decays into THC

Prairie Fire decays into capsaicin and histamine

Ecto Cooler decays into VHFCS which decays into large amounts of sugar, it also decays into green goop which as mentioned above lets you see ghosts.

You can create a "double smoke reaction" by using a smoke reaction to smoke VHFCS and the other required reagents for a smoke reaction into nearby mobs, effectively allowing you to create a larger reaction!

refried beans and eggs cause you to fart.

george melonium is a great tool for traitors, it works at 0.1u and has chances to day into drugs, cause explosions, and much more.

tea removes toxin.

tea with honey fixes the cold, fly and food poisoning.

all you need to kill a blob is an egun and a flamethrower.

you can put tank transfer valves, canister bombs and more inside your stomach by putting them inside a pod, and then removing the pod storage container and putting that inside a deep fryer, makes for great pranks.

the bridge contains a AI upload, and Robotics console board, you don't ever have to enter the AI upload to reset it, just take those and construct one on the diner.

the engine will go faster from 0 to 100 if you use nitrogen in the cold loop.

sparks are hot, they (ab)use them to heat things up really hot.

pills will react when set on fire with a welding torch, fill up a pill bottle with bad poo poo, dump it, and then proceed to throw a welder on top for some good fireworks.

you can inject batteries with plasma, stuff them in an APC and wait for someone to turn it on.

IV drips work when inside backpacks, and pockets.

having more than 100 units of salt in you causes brain damage.

This also applies to the cars belonging to Michael's wife and daughter. I love destroying them as Trevor with the worst driving possible.

Buying properties in GTA V was definitely a late game addition as the payouts are not balanced very well at all. The only way to buy everything is using the assassination mission stock market tricks which are one time things.

GTA5 is an amazing world but a pretty boring game. Seriously hope Rockstar start amping up the actual gameplay rather than just blowing all their budget and time on their 'living world' stuff for 6. Immersion is great and all but it only carries you as far as there's stuff to do.
