Rimworld has a "Plan" blueprint you can put down to help plan future expansions. This really should be in more games, it makes it nice to preplan and get spacing sorted out ahead of time.

i liked how the prince of persia: sands of time would show you upcoming platforming challenges and enemies. when you touched a savepoint you'd get visions of the obstacles you were gonna face, and then when you reached a room that was all platforming challenges the camera would pan over to the destination and work its way back towards you while showing you all the obstacles along the way.

I always liked how the visions and rewinds were worked into the plot, culminating in the vision of everything going to hell and Farah dying, followed by the Ultimate Rewind when the prince sticks the dagger back in the hourglass. That was awesome.

Regrettable posted:MGSV rankings are based almost entirely on the amount of time it takes you to complete a mission so you can just go in guns blazing and get S ranks all over the place as long as you're quick about it. Or if a mission has some kind of exploit that lets you complete it quickly because you know the location of something it didn't tell you about on the first go, guaranteed S rank.

In Watch Dogs 2, I'm loving that I can clear out areas by flying my quadcopter over the area, highlight a guy and hack his profile into a super criminal, and let the police roll in and beat him down, then refill my botnet charge off his corpse so I can do it again to the next guy.

And if you have enough botnet chargers, you can ALSO call a SWAT team on another enemy and create complete chaos almost guaranteed to clear the whole place out. Then...you get the ability to drop explosives or tazer bombs from that quadcopter as well

I'm really impressed with how they did it. Going fast is almost a guaranteed S-rank, but so is No Traces, so you can go for either extreme and still get a good score.

I think it was someone in this thread that posted about Fantasy Life. That post was the last straw for me, and I got it for myself for Christmas. It has a lot of little  things. My favorite so far is the talking butterfly wigging out at a talking flower and shouting "Kill it, kill it!"

Yeah, it's nice, but it does seem kind of silly that running and gunning is so much easier in stealth game, though. I'll play the missions the right way the first time and then just run through it as fast as I can shooting everyone who gets in my way if I need still need the S rank afterward.

I failed to S rank Mission 30 (the big climactic infiltration of the bad guy's base) repeatedly, trying it by stealth, ghosting, subterfuge, distraction, whatever. I eventually S-ranked it by charging through the middle of the base on my pink combat robot at top speed, blasting Take on Me and going too fast for anyone to catch me, and bailing out just before I fell into the elevator shaft at the end. Because my robot fell into the elevator shaft and disappeared I even got the No Traces bonus essentially MGSV is one of the best games ever made

Finally getting around to FF15. I like how you don't level up until you rest at an inn or camp, theoretically you could do a skill-based level 1 run without worrying too much about random encounters, especially because storebought meals boost stats by around 150 points, or you could also wait to level up until you get to the final inn before the ferry, try to have 10000 gil from sidequests and boost the hell out of your levels due to the 200% experience bonus. Especially considering how broken accessories seem to be at least early on. The ones that claim to give a "small" increase are increasing stats by 50, when my base stats are currently around 28. That's a hell of a lot stronger than in previous games, although I'm assuming later that may fall off as your levels get higher. Also the character interactions in cutscenes are really cute. Currently just about to get on the ferry that will lock me out of this first area for a while, but most remaining sidequests/hunts have higher recommended levels than I have.

Covered vehicles, despite having DDogs markings and insignia's will never set off the enemies alarms, you can roll a pink APC into any mission and nobody will be the wiser unless you shoot and or run a dude over. For extra fun air dropping tanks into the field is a fine way to crush and or suppress enemies. Mother Base's logistics team are the real heroes of any campaign.

In fact some Youtuber recently beat the game at level 1 thanks to that. He did spend AP though. By the way, you only get locked out for like 10 minutes. Don't worry about it.

In the fight with Quiet, once you've figured out where she's hiding and tagged her you can call in a supply drop on her exact location. As long as you keep popping out of cover to keep her distracted then the supply drop will smack her right in the head. Do this enough times = non-lethal takedown.

A reminder that one way to defeat the sniper The End in MGS3 is to let 1(2?) week irl pass between his introduction and the fight. Or you could immediately catch and release his parrot to give away his position. Of you can eat it and see it later in the game as a ghost. Those sentences aren't spoilered because that's just gameplay mechanics. I played the poo poo out of MGS3 it is my favorite. I guess my absolute favorite thing in that game is the weird prison dream sequence. It is a slasher game with different controls that you only play if you save and quit while in prison. MGS is one of those brands where sometimes it's better to wait a few years after the game is out to play it so you can hear about all the weird poo poo you can do to get by when the going gets rough.
