I like big chains. REALLY BIG CHAINS. like in god of war 2 running over the big chain to the big horses. Or god of war 3 climbing up the big chain through the world. Or Demons souls with the big chain in the sky in the tower of latria. Please give me your memories of big chains.

Just decided to try out Black Mesa again now that it's finally finished. It's been long enough that I forgot some of the intro details, the one teaching you to pick up and throw stuff is pretty great compared to the famous "PICK UP THAT CAN, CITIZEN" in HL2: one of the scientists is having a toilet paper crisis in the bathroom, and your job is to pick up a new roll and toss it into the stall :haw:

In the original mod version there's an achievement for this. Its name? Brownian motion. :haw:

Project X Zone 2's story is all about giant chains crashing through universes. Which is mostly an excuse for Phoenix Wright to be Heihachi Mishima's lawyer when M. Bison frames him for unleashing zombies on Kamurocho.

And they're not big in the literal sense, but Astral Chain is named after a chain that's super important to the game's mechanics. That's a kind of big.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Every time you gotta go to one of the towers in Pandora's Tower you gotta walk through huge chains.

The doors for the bosses are also locked with not as huge but still big chains that you gotta break down to get open.

And, obviously, you have your own chain, that you get to aim the wiimote at enemies and yank away their body parts.

From the brutalist architecture to the employees blind acceptance of the game's events because "it's how it's done," the game presents an uncanny portrait of work in large organizations.

I feel like in World of Final Fantasy you have to run down up massive chains, large enough so that you need to walk around the individual links...now I need to look up if my brain is making that up or not.

In God of War 2018 there's a giant chain you have to break to do some stuff that does other stuff for you to get to a different realm.

The maze itself is not really a spoiler as you can access it way earlier. But the video posted is a spoiler for what happens when you have to go through the maze as part of the story.

A time traveling adventure everyone can enjoy

The bigass chain tethering the continent of Zeal to the earth, and the moment when it tugs just a bit too hard, and schiiing snaps, and the entire place drops unceremoniously to the surface.

In World of Warcraft, in Black Rock Mountain, there are a series of BIG CHAINS attached to a floating island. The first time I went in the mountain I thought "man it would be cool if you could walk on those". And you *could*, and it was even required to get to a couple dungeons and raids. That is my favorite BIG CHAIN memory.

I know it's not a popular opinion but FF8 is one of my favorites. I love the junction system, I enjoyed getting the magazines for limit breaks, the music was great, I crashed two schools together! I played it when I was 16, had just got my wisdom teeth out, it was summer, I had a boatload of free time and painkillers, just great. Stupid overwrought story and all.

The first time I played FF8, I didn’t enjoy it so much because I didn’t understand the junction system and had to spam summons to beat every boss. I thought Breath of Fire 3, which I got around the same time, was way better. Later I replayed FF8, understood the junction system this time, and had a blast. I still think Breath of Fire 3 is better, but that’s just because it’s an absolutely phenomenal game. FF8 is quite underrated

Elder Scrolls Online is all about big chains appearing everywhere to drag the world around. You can be out in the world adventuring when BOOM, the sky opens and there's a big clatter clatter CLANK of a pleasingly big and crunchy sounding chain slamming into the ground and you have to go snap and crack and break it all with a cling clang clonk

I always like when games have a sense of scale in general, like the Train 'graveyard in World of Final Fantasy. The world is made up of tiered islands representing different areas in the games, and at the top of the train graveyard, which is multiple stories tall, you actually see the bottom of the ocean of the island above it. No other area in the game lets you almost touch the sky in that way.

Setting the menu android free only really works once from a gameplay perspective, and her absence detracts from future playthroughs because of the way she comments on your decisions throughout. Seeing as there are wildly-branching paths encouraging multiple playthroughs, having an option to put her back was the right call.
This belongs in the "things dragging the game down" sorta - I played through the entire game without ever encountering Chloe except the first boot, because I always use the PS4 sleep/suspend mode. I bet it would have been cool to have her comment on your actions in the previous chapter or so :sigh:
I loved Detroid: Become Human and thought it was far better than Cage's previous games, which I had played through (except Omikron: Nomad Soul - I got stuck on some puzzle and this was in the days when I didn't have internet to look it up). The sheer amount of different actual branching paths (as compared to a Telltale game) was just mind blowing.

God of War 2 had my favorite sense of scale in a game, the first boss is the literal Colossus of Rhodes that you end up stabbing his eye out, tearing your way inside using the blade of olympus, fighting half a level in him, before tearing the machinery keeping him moving and then jumping out and taunting the gods.

Wait, wasn't the chained floating island Mt Woe? And speaking of, Mt Woe is good if you like giant chains. The entire area is chained together on chains large enough that you use them to access the different maps, and it gives the feeling that the entire thing would fall apart if it wasn't for the chains.

Yeah, Zeal floated unsupported. Mt. Woe was on a giant chain.
