Okay, I knw Shadow of Mordor was a while back, but I like how all the wildlife have little notes about them. And how they are all evil and venomous. But the bats I have to mention specificallly. Apparently orcs that get bitten start to hallucinate part-man part-bat creatures that intimidate their enemies with fear. That one made me laugh. Also popping out of a bush, stabbing the bejesus out of somebody and all his friends making GBS threads themselves and running away. That's fun. Oh, and Caragors being able to make ridiculous vertical leaps when you ride them. e: also when you try to stealth kill a guy and he blocks you and you get the confrontational music and his name pops up and oh no, he is a captain  e2: and also being able to drop nests of killer mordor bees on baddies It's definitely one of those Little Things: The Game type games for me.

Far Cry 4 is pretty great. Full of nice little touches. No idea if they were in 2 or 3 as well, haven't played those. Anyway, there's an auto drive feature and it is great. As long as you're on a proper road, you just press a button and it automatically drives you to your waypoint. Very useful as I haven't quite got the hang of the vehicle controls yet. Also you can ride elephants, and all the bad guys freak out about it. With good reason, elephants kick rear end in that game. I was trying to take out an outpost and I guess I acdidentally freed an elephant I hadn't noticed and he did the whole thing for me pretty much. It is missing the Blood Dragon feature of being able to give everything the finger though, as far as I can tell.

Literally Kermit posted:Half the fun of mods is seeing how much they gently caress up your game. My favorite is a mod that adds a magic extra-dimensional Dwemer-style fortress you can summon and dispel anywhere, and the ability to teleport inside it at any time (even when it's compressed back into a tiny cube): I love those sorts of portable base mods for games like this. Morrowind had a pretty amazing TARDIS you could teleport around and stuff, ridiculously detailed inside as well, Oblivion and Fallout 3 both had ones that were less impressive outside but still teleported around and stuff, but I could never find any for New Vegas or Skyrim. Plenty of mods that did the same thing, but a TARDIS just feels more special. Really, mods in general for Bethesda open-world games. There's a lot of poo poo, but some really great things in there too. And sometimes there's stuff that's just so bad it's funny. Also it's fun getting really out of place stuff. I had one that stuck a modern house into Oblivion that stuck out like a sore thumb. All Ikea furniture and light switches and stuff. I need to start reading that mods thread again, that was always good for a laugh.

Most of the time when you kill a boss in Bloodborne, they explode and blood rains down everywhere. That's neat by itself. It gets better. Many of the bosses give PSN trophies when you beat them. Dunno if it's all PS4 games or just this one, but when you get a trophy, it automatically takes a screenshot. So you end up with a lot of pictures of bad guys exploding, and it can be very satisfying to see the ones that gave you the most grief. But my best auto screenshot is one you get for finding a type of item for the first time. I grabbed my first one running away from a big fast enemy and so the screenshot is my guy just booking it away. It's all motion blurry and stuff too. Also there's a couple where it's a loading screen (think you can get more like that with a mutual kill) and one for fully upgrading a weapon that is quite likely to be a great big stat screen. Oh, actually, mutual kills themselves. I think if you and the boss died together in other games in the series, you had to beat them again. It counts as a victory in this one, which is great. I did it my first time against the last boss, and I had to hoof it back to see the ending. It was silly.

Isn't there also some bio bomb thing where you do a proper American Football style kick of some poor bastard and they go flying and then do all that explodey stuff? Also it was fun shapeshifting into a granny and kicking rear end. Can't remember if that only worked in the first or not. Aw, I really want a Prototype 3 now. To be honest, that happens every time I think of it.

Actually, on the subject of Batman, the Batmobile. It seems to be a rather major thing itself, but it's bristling with little things I love. If you can see or are near a road, you can call it in, and it just appears from round a corner or something Roach style. On the way it will usually smash a load of things and ("non-lethally"  ) that often includes goons. It does a little electric shot I guess is supposed to knock them out, but in practice it usually just means they get run over and electrocuted.Also if you're fighting near it there's a special takedown where Batman chucks a guy in the air and the Batmobile shoots him out of the sky. And you can pop in and out really fast, and it can switch between racing around and attack mode instantly, and it also can do that weird ram thing like in Sleeping Dogs, only it actually makes sense because of rocket booster thingies. And that's with about half an hour of messing around with it. I hope there's other stuff later. There was something pretty great I don't want to spoil though. Also the flying feels better and it's real tough deciding if I want to drive or fly because both methods are great. Oh, and the goons chatting is great too. There's this one along the lines of "If you see Batman, yell and charge at him, it never fails" (it always fails).

ImpAtom posted:It should be noted that this rant is about around 25 minutes of game time and dramatically accentuates certain things. I don't know if blowing 12 upgrade points on the ridiculous ejector seat was sensible, but I feel it was the right choice. And those sorts of mook boasts are great. I was in the middle of doing something important when one of them said Batman had broken his arm before, but he figured lightning wouldn't strike twice. He was wrong. But then I had forgotten what I was supposed to be doing. Also the idea that Batman isn't killing people in these games makes me laugh when it comes to gameplay. Nobody could survive some of the things I've been up to, especially the high-speed chases ending in exploding cars. No, Detective Vision, I don't believe that man is unconscious, he was crushed into a wall while being electrocuted after he was smashed out of his car. Oh, the Batmobile is just amazing fun and I could go on and on about it.

GCPD HQ in Batman is actually really impressing me. Place is pretty crammed now. Only 50% apparently though. I love how cobbled together all the admin seems. It's all little cardboard-looking signs with stuff like "Penguin Thugs" and "Arkham Knight Militia". I guess it also answers the question of how do all these goons survive outside unconscious, I guess the patrols keep bringing them in. Also if you go back later you can see the first thug you beat up and he's in a sling, right? If you go back even later he mouths off again, you can get Batman to make a fist at him, and he throws himself out of harm's way. Couldn't get a response on a third visit though. OH, and one of the story missions I recently did had an amazing bit I really don't want to spoil. But it was great. muscles like this? posted:I had a really cool moment when I walked in and one of the cops standing around was highlighted Riddler informant green. So I interrogate him while the cops nearby start freaking out and pull their guns on Batman. The cop eventually admits it and Batman throws him into a cell. He goes "You can't do this to me, I'm a cop." to which Batman replies "Not anymore." Oh, that was bugging me. I'll make sure to do that next visit.

In terms of a little thing I wish was in AK, there was a bit where Batman was very obviously going to get cornered in a little room so I put some explosive gel around the door but the game ignored that. At least he had the sense to go and hide, but I wanted to blow up some fools. Oh, and more praise for the Batmobile, in tunnels you can drive on the loving ceiling. Sometimes you have to. Oh, and Batmobile spoilers. "Where's the Batmobile?" "It was destroyed." "Oh no!" "Don't worry, Lucius made a spare." Spare Batmobile arrives, kicks rear end Also it looks very shiny and chrome.

This never fails to get a laugh out of me and I can't bring myself to let the villains rant as a result.

I managed to steal Take On Me from a base today. Also I kicked a wolf in the face. Also there's a mission where you have to rescue a guy from your old base. He's gone crazy and he hits you and runs away whenever you try to get close. I found the solution completely by accident, but I should have known. Wear a box and he's like "Big Boss, I knew you were alive!" and then you can extract him. I liked that.

D-Dog grew up. Now he's like Koromaru if he was a spy with an eyepatch and riot gear. Poor Soviets just don't know what the gently caress when Big Boss and D-Dog attack together. Also before that I did a mission taking out armored vehicles while on horseback with a bazooka and The Final Countdown blaring. Also there was a mission where I got into a fight with a sniper. I took her out with a pair of artillery strikes. Oh, and I got a mission I haven't tried yet to capture a "legendary bear". Basically MSGV is amazing and wonderful once you start getting Mother Base set up. Or "Dog Hotel" as the emblem says.

I found out where the animals you rescue go in MGSV. The zoo. Big Boss has an actual loving zoo in the middle of the ocean, and you can go visit it. And not just animals in cages, it is literally a zoo. Also I found out that the fast-travel system isn't the helicopter like you might expect, it is the cardboard box. Went on a road trip with D-Dog unlocking a bunch of delivery points once I found that out. Still got quite a few to go. Also also, some day I am going to have a car dropped on somebody's head. Hopefully not my own.

Okay, everybody knows you can hide in boxes in MGS. In V, you can also stand up and run about, and throw yourself down to the ground. If you do this on a slope, you can slide all the way to the bottom. Sometimes this is very far, and very fast. And very fun. And the sniper Buddy who can just solo entire missions on her own if you tell her to. Early ones, but still funny. And take down entire bases without you having to do a thing. Also the Rocket Punch. Although I don't think the soldiers at Mother Base think so.

I like it when Quiet's on the move and suddenly just blasts past you at crazyspeed. First couple of times I didn't know what was going on and thought I was being attacked. And then there was the time I accidentally ran her over in a jeep. Oh, and when she's on the move and some poor guy gets in the way and just gets loving flattened. Also if Quiet's on cover fire with the tranq rifle. You kick a sleeping dude, he wakes up, she blasts him down again. You kick him again, and she shoots him again. Over and over again. And then you tell her to switch to lethal and kick him one last time. Metal Gear makes me into a complete rear end in a top hat. Also I was really busting heads in a ridiculous gunfight and one of the enemy soldiers shouted "this is bullshit" and that made me laugh. They say some funny things. And the Rocket Fist. It's not just a stupid gimmick weapon, it's actually really useful. I keep forgetting that.

Yeah, it's Mission 23 for Dog Balloons. I think. The White Mamba one. Something I find helpful is on the mission list it'll tell you about all the new skills and blueprints you can find in each mission. I don't think it tells you every single interesting skill though. Also after your first clear of a mission it'll just tell you all the bonus objectives. I like that. Also I love the name generator thing. Had to lock down a couple of people who aren't the best just because of their names. Blazing Roach made me laugh, but my favourite is just Parrot. Oh, and anything with Eel or Slug doing something Eels or Slugs aren't known for, those are all great. McDragon has a new favorite as of 16:12 on Sep 17, 2015 |

Oh, there's a mission in MGSV where you have to disable the communication system on one of the outposts. The way they work means you can blow the whole thing up in free-roam and then accept the mission. Halfway through the briefing Ocelot interrupts Miller telling him it's already destroyed. Miller sounds so disappointed that somebody has stolen his thunder. It goes straight to the mission complete screen and he is so annoyed that he doesn't say anything and you don't even get a rank for the mission.

ChogsEnhour posted:Has anyone played "The Magic Circle"? It's an FPS from the POV of a games tester stuck in a half finished game and you have to dick around with the code of the game to, say, turn mushrooms into personal attack dogs. I really liked it. The main story is quite short (good though I thought), but I think the emphasis after that is more on exploring and messing about really. There's a ton of collectibles. Plus you can designate basically anything to be the ultimate weapon. I think the categories are movement type, attack type, and special things, along with all sorts of AI options. I went for a mushroom. Actually, the creature stuff is really great. Like you take away all the attributes of an enemy and it's basically a head that just stares at you but can't do anything. Then you hack into it again and make it useful. It is the main thing of the game really, finding a thing that has an ability you need and then taking it. Changing attributes changes what they look like as well, so with a movement type like ground it grows legs and can follow you, or it can have float and then it hovers in the air on a cloud but can't move, or it can fly or so on. Adding melee attacks is pretty great too, they might get teeth, some of the robots grow big saw arms, and so on. I'm not sure how much of the game the demo is, but I'd imagine if you liked the first hour or so you'd probably like the rest? Gameplay doesn't particularly change much throughout, you just get more things to play with.

The auto version, (I think it's the Serval or something? Some sort of cat thing anyway) is just great. Also you can use them to blast open the doors you usually have to lockpick. And it's always fun when Ocelot tells you not to take on a gunship head-on and it's already falling out of the sky by the time he's finished talking. Also I don't know if it got mentioned yet, but if you hit a guy in the head with a magazine in Reflex Mode, it makes a silly noise and knocks them out.
