I think part of it is that talking about the game in a thread that’s not already steeped in it makes it look like you’re just making poo poo up. That game is weird and I love it. In the first half hour of the game I had a bartender explain money to me because my character blacked out so hard he had forgotten basic concepts.

Thats my favorite little thing honestly. It throws you into its weirdness face first and just expects you to roll with it. A lot of people died trying to get their tie down fron a ceiling fan.

It's a bit hard to talk about since the game is all story and the truly fantastic parts are all huge spoilers. That said, my first failure came when my Sorry Cop realized that communism failed so he quit the force due to too much sadness.

I was talking to the racist lorry driver and was kind of wishy washy about it not backing up Kim and not agreeing with the racist and the game gave me poo poo for it after I finished the conversation.

muscles like this! posted:I was talking to the racist lorry driver and was kind of wishy washy about it not backing up Kim and not agreeing with the racist and the game gave me poo poo for it after I finished the conversation. Yeah, the writing as a whole takes a seriously dim view on the concept of "Enlightened Centrists" who like to pretend they're peace keepers while maintaining an oppressive status quo. Unlike most choice based RPGs it very much reminds you that not making a choice is a choice itself and very often the wrong one. Edit: And the racist driver was a really good moment because I think it's the first time I've seen a game tackle the concept of dog whistles, because rather than just have him scream slurs from the back of a pickup truck he, at first, says seemingly nice things that your character (And probably you the player) won't pick up on right away, but your partner immediately realises is an insult towards him.

Playing through Medal of Honor: Airborne again I forgot how much I enjoyed the cover and health system. When you aim down sights you become locked into place (unless you press in the left stick then you can move) and your left stick moves your character’s body so you can naturally dick in and out of cover. Your health is split into 4 bars. If you take damage but the bar isn’t depleted then it’ll naturally refill that section. If you lose that section then you’ll need to find a medkit. I thought it was a great middle ground between numerical health and health regeneration.

Resistance: Fall of Man does that too. (I wonder if Medal of Honor was influenced by it? The games were released within a year of eachother... so it's possible but could just be coincidence). How Resistance implements it gameplay and lorewise is a great little thing too. When you first start and are fully human, your health does not regenerate. Makes dying in the first couple of missions just a tiny beat easier. There are still loads of health packs around, but you don't get that buffer of a regenerating quadrant. Once you're infected by the chimeran virus, the quadrants regenerate! As you say, it's a surprisingly great middle ground between numerical health and complete regeneration. It keeps tension up when you're down to the last quadrant and can't find a medkit, but also allows the player to still take risks in a firefight. They turned it to full regeneration for Resistance 2... which sucked and kinda killed a bit of the charm. For Resistance 3, they scrapped health regen altogether in favour of numerical health--because the protagonist had been cured of the Chimeran Virus. Little thing in R3: you can unlock Chimeran Mode which lets you play using R:FoM's quadrant regeneration system!

I missed homeworld chat but the best dialog for me is the progression of how you announce yourself in Cataclysm. In Cataclysm you play as a bunch of miners for a minor clan in the rear end end of space drilling up resources nobody else wants and end up way way way way over your head as you accidentally unleash a parasitic lifeform that has destroyed empires before you. So of course you run from it and in your attempt to escape you encounter all sorts of different people and have to introduce yourself. At first is things like this is the higaaran mining vessel Kun-Laan, of house whatever, on assignment x. As you keep fleeing and arming yourself more and more heavily to deal with the enemies harrassment you start shortening it because nobody cares until youre just saying "mining vessel kun laan" or, as you add ever more hastily bolted on sections to fight the enemy and sustain the fleet of survivors of the enemies attacks, just Kuun Lan. By the end of the game though, its become aparent youre running out of room to run and will have to fight this thing head on and youre going to need to pick the battle. By this point youve bolted so much onto your mining vessel that what was once a little larger than a carrier now dwarfs dreadnoughts, youve strapped an experimental cannon to the front of your ship, your fleet is now dozens of frigates, carriers, and dreadnoughts youve saved or stolen, and everyone you command knows your ships are set up to burn them alive with hot plasma rather than risk infection with the enemy. So in the final mission you warp in to support military fleets in a desperate battle with the lifeform, and without any fanfare or the game calling any attention to it whatsoever you introduce yourself as "The Warship Kuun-Lan".

The worst thing about the Riddick universe is that it has to revolve around Vin Diesel. I heard that the last Riddick movie had three scenes where they assert than Vin Diesel's character is straight.

Riddick is murdersexual. Escape From Butcher Bay was loving awesome. Punches had oomph behind them, plus different attack types for a first person punching was wild. Seeing your target's face snap back from being decked in the face was awesome. I'm glad there was a game made to let me enjoy seeing a person get punched in first person ever since the police told me to stop doing it irl.

Retro Futurist posted:Vin Diesel taught Dame Judy Dench how to play D&D he gets a pass Vin Diesel gets a pass because he seems to be very realistic on his strengths as an actor and made himself a multi million franchise. Albeit its sad that he stopped doing comedy stuff and properly nerdy projects like founding a game studio to do *proper* games around his franchises and such. The guy is basically The Rock, but not as charismatic one.

If I ever make a movie it'll be set in an alternate-universe where all those stillborn-franchises became successful: Hudson Hawk 2: Catch the Hawk, Remo Williams: The Adventure Continues, Mortdecai: After you with the Pistol... Didn't the Starbreeze folk who made Riddick jump ship to make Wolfenstein? I haven't played enough of either game to see the shared DNA.

Dead Space 1 and 2? There's a brief segment of 1 that is in a different location but otherwise it's all in on giant ship. Same with 2. Metroid Fusion too. They get away with having different environments in one locale by having segments be different artificial biomes of a research space station... but otherwise, yeah, whole game takes place in one space station. Heck you even get to go through vents and poo poo like in Die Hard. It's not quite the same, but in a similar vein: Killzone 2's story basically takes place over a single day. Your space fleet drops you and an invasion force at the outskirts of the enemy's capitol and each mission has you fighing through the streets until you reach the Helghast Palace--a couple of side missions returning to the outskirts or your space cruiser notwithstanding.
