The writer also said on twitter that sending Lady Boyle away with the creepy stalker guy didn't really turn out bad for her, she ended up with him wrapped around her finger, but it's still hilariously dastardly of you to tell her "someone is here to kill you" to encourage her to flee when you are the person that is there to kill her.

The best pacifist-run game is Iji, where as long as it's not your bullets that kill them, your kill-count stays at 0 and the game explicitly tells you this. Lure two different alien factions to each other? Shatter a floor under someone? Duck a rocket aimed at you so it hits someone else? Reflect a rocket back at it's shooter with your personal forcefield? It's all pacifist baby!

I decided to revisit Painkiller and early on there's these enemies that are like hooded cultists with axes. They can try to throw their axe at you, but they have no way of retrieving or replacing it. Since the game doesn't want to have enemies that can't attack the player, they then just drop dead. It's fun to finish a pitched battle and realize there's just one axe-dude left so you can just bait out his throw, step slightly to the side, and watch him just fall down. Painkiller in general has a lot of fun with ragdolling dead enemies.

I was skeptical of King of Cards "dash bounce dash" system but it turns many rooms into sort of a puzzle instead of just pure platforming which makes it incredibly satisfying to romp your way through them all. Also I was absolutely not fond of the card game aspect at first but since then I have become very fond of the card game. It helps that the gem cheat is basically a free win you can throw out whenever you're about to lose so you don't have to deal with the frustrating card loss mechanic.

Yeah, the King Knight platforming is a really fun and interesting take on the platforming mechanics and really helps make it enjoyable to play on its own merits. The card game I can take and leave but once you have a good deck it becomes a lot more fun. It's honestly pretty mindblowing that Shovel Knight ended up with 4 games, each with their own characters and storylines and unique mechanics, and all of them stuck the landing.

I love the progression there's been of "Plague Knight controls so differently that it feels like a new game" to "Specter Knight has so many differences it's basically a new game" to "King Knight is literally just a new game"

Fun thing about playing pacifist in Iji is that you have to get/create the weapon that kills any enemy in one hit in order to actually do it, because in order to skip a certain boss you need to shoot through a wall and destroy a power generator to open an alternate way out... and the only weapon with a projectile that goes through walls looks like this Pacifism!  edit: Also several times there will be a gap you need to cross that is too far to jump over, so you have to propel yourself to the other side by exploding a portable nuke right on top of yourself or firing rockets directly into walls or the floor. Pacifism!! In fact, there is a logbook you can find in a hidden room ingame that is itself reached by doing this trick, in which the aliens have discovered from watching you that this is a valid way to get to the other side of a room and now they are doing that instead of just walking.

Also right at the very end of the game there's a logbook that details every individual alien you've killed and how they died. They all even have a NON-RANDOMIZED name, age, and place of birth. There are 600 enemies exactly in the game so if you've been real thorough the list just goes on and on and on and eventually spills over into a second logbook next to it. It also functions as a pacifist run checker though, because true to its purpose it'll be completely blank and boy is it satisfying to see. Iji is so awesome man.

I did a forcefield only run soon after the game came out and I remember all the aliens immediately started acting like I was a violent murderer the first time I reflected a shot back at anybody. I guess that's different than a technical kill count, and I wouldn't remember a number.

The reflector used to count as lethal aggression, and then it was changed to not count if you killed someone with it, and now in the final version it does count again.

Gotta check on Strawberry Jam, the first chapter was Little Things: The Game; in a split-second before one cutscene I managed to jump on a ledge and start the conversation from the wrong position and the other character reacted specifically to that moveDaniel Remar posted:Unfortunately, at this time it doesn't seem likely that I'll finish the remaining chapters, due to working on other things and how difficult this game was to develop.

There's one of those in nu-DOOM as well. There's a part where roboman Samuel Hayden disables Doomguy's weapons so you can chat in person, but you have a split second right when he opens the door to try and blow him away with whatever you want. Not only does it not work, he chastises you for it with different dialogue.

It looks like Iji came out right near the beginning of the PC indie game boom (a month after Braid), and isn't even on Steam, so I guess it's not too surprising a lot of us have never loving heard of it. It still seems like something I couldn't possibly have missed, so, yeah, I think this thread willed it into existence.

CJacobs posted:Another fun little thing you can do is late in the game (low chaos) there's a side mission where some survivors are trying to escape the city but there's a ton of guards in the way. Your goal is to deactivate a watchtower and take care of the mech suit dudes patrolling the street. When you do so they actually run out to safety, not just with a fade to black or whatever, and the mission is marked complete. In GTA IV's big important choice mission I drove off after sitting there about to do it. About ten seconds after driving away I pulled the e-brake and floored it back. The NPCs were still there although the Important Character has started running once I had driven off. Ran him down and Roman had some unique dialog for having changed my mind like that.

Speaking of bioenchanted, I've been playing some old games from my backlog and found a few things I like in an old physics puzzler called Quantum Conundrum. It has some warts for sure, but John De Lancie does the vocal work and makes for a good mad scientist, and one thing I really liked was how when you die, instead of the usual tool tips, this one gives you Things You Will Never Experience, and most of them are normal things like "getting your licence" or "learning how to shave". It's so weirdly dark and funny.

In Dishonored, I liked playing really stealthily and non lethally until the final section then turning into a murderous vengeance monster for the last levels. I loved the idea of being a total ghost then terrifying everyone being all up in their face and unstoppable like a Predator for the denouement
