If you listen to the developer commentary podcasts included in MGS4, they talk about how much time Kojima's team spent making a radio sputter and die when you shot it. Like making whatever was playing accurately cut out, not just turning it into static right away.

Thinky Whale posted:FFXIV: In the earlier part of the game, you have dinner with an Empress where she gets poisoned and it leads to a bunch of dramatic shenanigans. This happens again in the latest expansion, at the start a minor NPC offers you a drink from their bottle of wine and you just give them a stink eye until they comment "No? Suit yourself"

I'm just glad literally one person in a fantasy setting learned to not drink from random cups of wine. edit: Heavensward No they didn't, bastard gets knocked out by the most obvious spy in between the expansions, poo poo. Samuringa has a new favorite as of 05:35 on Dec 4, 2019 |

Reminds me of Illusion of Gaia, which goes in some really weird directions. You play as a psychic kid, and there's a section where you participate in a game of "Russian Glass", where two people take turns drinking from cups, one of which is poisoned. Being psychic, you get a warning if you try to drink from the poisoned cup (and if you do it anyway, the game just treats it like dying in a dungeon). Your opponent doesn't have that power of course...and for some goddamn reason when there's only one cup left he insists on drinking it anyway, despite knowing it must be poisoned.

I've beaten Jinx now, it was cute. The only thing left to do is figure out where this key is in the penultimate level so I can rescue the final character and unlock the final bonus level/see the true ending. Something I appreciate is that the bosses save their states if you die. You don't have to do every hit again, just the ones you didn't do yet, so if you destroy half the pirate bosses conveyor belts and then die, they stay destroyed and so on. It's really nice, although it makes the game very easy it is a good game for children for that reason. It's also just a fun and chill time.

Got this neat game called Super Puzzle Platformer during the Steam sale and I love how extra the option to delete your save is.  I always love it when a game turns the most mundane thing into something really cool and weird

Illusion of Gaia was so wonderfully weird. I love the bit where you're on a raft after a shipwreck, when sharks appear...and just circle around for a while before leaving, because sometimes sharks are just minding their own business.

Man I never recognized anyone of those. Not even Edgar Wright. I wish they could have gotten David Lynch, I'm sure Kojima would have loved that. All with Sam delivering nothing but cigarettes.

Cleretic posted:Just an FYI, every single Ace Attorney game past the original trilogy is on iOS and Android (iOS has the original trilogy, but Android doesn't). While they might be pricier than you'd want, and they don't have some of the QoL changes that got back-ported to the Phoenix Wright HD collection, you can play them all on your phone. Ouch, £14.99 a pop hurts. Thanks though! I'm hoping the second trilogy gets a switch release eventually but I'm not holding my breath for AAI so I might grab that on Android when I'm done with AA3.

Why did you mouse over it?? Either it's a game you already know and the only thing you can say is "I played that too" or you get spoiled on a game you haven't played. You could only lose

The game straight up tells you after that the guy was dying anyway. He had been doing the Russian Glass thing to rack up alot of money for his wife.

Heh, just rescued the last people and got the true ending in Jinx. Totally worth it. Normal ending: King gives you title of court magician, promoting you from jester. Perfect Ending? "Well, you just saved everyone in the kingdom... myself included... um... seems you look after the place better than I can... how about you marry my daughter and take over as king?" Not phrased quite that way, but still in spirit it's basically that.

I don't know if it has been posted before but in Jedi Fallen Order before our hero engages stormtroopers in battle they can sometimes be heard shooting the poo poo, filling in the mindless garrison hours with inane conversation. One of these conversations refers to a previous battle that turned out OK because they "had the high ground". I smirked.

Pinball arcade on switch. Does it count if its a videogame of a pinball machine? Anyway, the Stern Star Trek table. After i died during the second phase, i 'dropped' the controller. I'm not sure if tilt usrs gyros or it mashed the L stick when it hit the cushion, but the table screamed at me "You DARE SHAKE THE KLINGON EMPIRE" Also the voice work generally isn't completely terrible but mars attacks is still better.

I’ve returned to Return of the Obra Dinn to finish it. You identify each body on the ship and match it to a name on the manifest and work out their fate; if they’re alive and where they are, or more likely dead and how and by who if applicable. The first few fates that the game shows you are very simple to work out, to ease you into how the game works. But before you do any of that, the game lays another character’s fate right in front of you in a way that’s still kind of obscure because you’re probably not looking for it: The introductory letter at the start of the notebook that explains your mission is from the ship’s surgeon, who asks you to send your findings to an office in Morocco. His signature is right on it and then right there near the top of the ship’s manifest, all just spelled out . When I figured out I started laughing and then kicking myself for not seeing it. I haven’t seen other people going through the first couple minutes do it either. Dr Christmas has a new favorite as of 02:27 on Dec 5, 2019 |

I didn't figure that out until the very end after I'd already gone through a convoluted process of narrowing down where the escapees could have gone based on where the ship was and which side they launched the longboat from . It didn't help that it's really easy to find out the surgeon's identity without even noticing that.

I've got to the part in Prince of Persia:Two Thrones with the new traps. I like that they are very different takes on things, now it's not just circular blades to dodge but whole sections of wall or floor become spikes, or instead of running between the blades you have a giant hallway-sized blade to run through the gap in. It keeps things fresh. Warrior within's traps were just harder Sands of Time traps, these ones feel new.
