Psychic powers do not and have never existed and there is no scientific basis for them. Larry Niven just wrote psychics into all his hard SF stories because even he wanted space wizards. Unless you can get a scientist or twelve out here to write a whole bunch of math that I can understand about which of the four fundamental forces of nature account for shooting glowy poo poo out of your head, it's loving magic and aliens are evil sorcerers.

TaurusTorus posted:My favorite part of that is Sometimes your buddy goes into the down state, like they can in the other part of the game. Only instead of being able to inject them with morphine and save them, you only can hold your gun to their chin and pull the trigger. I waited to see if I could save them somehow, but after a couple seconds they grab your hand and make you pull the trigger and that was pretty hosed up.

The Far Cry 4 video reminded me of the alternate ending of the Dreamcast game 'Headhunter', where, at a certain point in the game, you can say 'you know what, screw this' and return to the screen where you start the game to just leave without your girlfriend. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the video. Can anyone help?

I've been playing some Elite: Dangerous, and I've discovered a little thing on top of a little thing. The little thing is that, when you use your discovery scanner (something that sweeps your area of space looking for planets and stuff you can get close to and do a detailed scan of for more spacebucks), it makes a foghorn noise not unlike the Inception horn. The little thing on top of that is, as you charge said scanner, the game sound and music get more and more muted, fading away into total silence... just in time for HOOOOOOOOOOOORN It's a lovely bit of sound design.

EmmyOk posted:Metal Gear Solid 3 is a prequel game so you see some older characters from the series in their younger years, one of whom you knockout early on in the game. However it's possible to kill him after the cutscene in which case you get a game over and the colonel from the previous games shouting "YOU CREATED A TIME PARADOX, NOOOOOOOOOO". Also, since it's a prequel, if you get any game over and sit long enough at the screen, it'll turn into the 'TIME PARADOX' screen.

Who What Now posted:When you play this game the first time you hear this song it will be about ten times louder than the dialog as York talks to Polly for the first time. This is not an error. On a repeat viewing through this LP I got what the scene was going for and realized it was brilliant. Is it a Twin Peaks reference? I never watched that. (I did watch the LP, though, which in a roundabout way got me to buy Euro Truck Simulator 2.)

Len posted:I'm on chapter 14 right now and I've wanted the game to be over for awhile. Other than all the things I read about this game doing it's just an average shooter. And there's only so many times "You are a good person." can pop up before I don't give any fucks and just wished it gave better checkpoints. Yeah, Spec Ops is a game that tries to guilt-trip you for playing and enjoying it. If you go in knowing it's going to do that, obviously you don't care, which neuters the best part of the game.

Mister Adequate posted:I'm pretty sure I've seen it mentioned in this here thread before but Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is great because it's being told by a narrator and at one point he goes to take a leak, so you just walk through the same train carriage several times until he comes back and can resume his story. Do you have to do the train carriage loop, or can you just hang out in one until the characters stop yakking and proceed without it?

Big Grunty Secret posted:On my last run, I came across a pirate harassing a civilian colony. The usual options are to fight the pirate ship or leave the area, but I had a Fire Beam on my ship, which gave me an option to show the pirates how it's done by burning the colonists' crops down. I thought it was pretty funny that was an option, given your mission. You can also get an event where you see Rebel ships delivering supplies to a colony that's been cut off by the war. You can either attack the Rebel ships directly or wait for them to leave before attacking the colony (at which point the colonists will point out that maybe the Rebellion has the right idea). Or you can just leave, but there's no reward for that...

Screaming Idiot posted:I gotta disagree. Nier's combat was actually good. But despite its amazing pedigree, I have a feeling the sequel is going to be awful -- especially since the end of the first game was pretty goddamn definitive: The Shadowlord was the only thing keeping the Shades sane, and you killed him. The Black Scrawl will eventually kill everyone, and that's only if they aren't slaughtered by insane Shades. I haven't played Nier, but doesn't 100% completion involve erasing yourself from the timestream so completely that you delete your save file? How does the Shadowlord die in that instance?

When City of Villains came out, it introduced a new kind of randomly-generated mission: mayhem missions. You'd go into an instanced version of a section of Paragon City, with your objective being to rob a bank, but with a bunch of side objectives like setting fires or busting fellow villains out of jail to add time to the mission clock. One of these side objectives was vandalism: blowing up cars, fire hydrants, cardboard boxes, and so on. The way I hear it, the intention was that these objects would scale in level like everything else in the game, but instead they had fixed levels... and even the most difficult to destroy objects had a fairly low level. Which meant that, when you got to high levels of supervillainy, you could absolutely trash your surroundings, giving you a feeling of increasing power that, sadly, not a lot of the rest of the game had (thanks to the aforementioned content scaling). Thankfully, they didn't patch it out.

Time to set the Wayback Machine to 1988, and the game Ultimate Combat Mission. Which wasn't great, let's be fair. As the attached video shows. (Sorry about the cursor; not my video.) It did, however, have a rocking tune by Steve Barrett, who also did the music for a number of other Commodore 64 games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7cJ-zXvuEU

Speaking of C64 games with underwhelming gameplay but great music, Driller (known as Space Station Oblivion in the States) was a game where you were trying to vent gas from an artificial moon before it exploded by finding the right spots to drill. The means by which you figured this out ranged from obvious (a big X on the ground) to obtuse (a screenshot showing a location to drill, well before Metal Gear Solid pulled that, with no hint to actually look there), and the 3D gameplay was slow and clunky. Of the games I played in my youth, it's not exactly one I'd pull out for the retro emu party. However, it did have an extremely atmospheric soundtrack that conveyed the sensation of being alone in an alien, hostile environment. The tune was so recognizable that, lo these many years later, when I heard it in a Youtube video I knew exactly what game it came from, and I soon tracked down a full version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UzJUCPkCjo

Kennel posted:This has been posted several times before but drat these story missions in AC: Black Flag are boring. Open world stuff is mostly fun and pretty addictive but at least half of the story missions require following someone and/or stealthing around scripted guards who are placed so that even casual players can beat the level on their third try. It doesn't help that after AC3 I realised that the story will never get any kind of satisfying conclusion. I think you wanted this thread.

Speaking of arcade shooters, I loved how in VARTH: Operation Thunderstorm, bombs aren't some incredibly rare resource that needs to be hoarded and will inevitably go unused until it's too late. Your bombs regenerate over time, and you can even wiggle the stick to charge them faster.

Away all Goats posted:it's dastardly to put the only save option at the beginning of the day. Once you wake up you instinctively want to check on your crops and animals since its just outside the door. Then pretty soon you've watered all your plants and you might as well play the rest of the day now. At least one of the Harvest Moon games did something almost identical, except you saved when you slept. What made it almost identical is that, after saving, it would immediately start the next day.

ArtIsResistance posted:Soul memory is great because if you were good at the game you'd never die so all your souls would go into powering you up while someone bad loses their souls and gets crushed by twinks I think they were saying that the score used to match PvP contestants should take into account all factors, not just current level or however it works. (I haven't played any Dark Souls games.) So a level 1 character with a bunch of god tier equipment would be matched with a much higher-level character than an actual noob.
