I have many souls. They are still scum. anyway, I just found out that taunting in God Hand actually has a purpose other than making me feel like a big man: if an enemy is in range, they get heated up (i.e. they charge you and are super aggressive for a brief moment), and it also raises your tension gauge and difficulty level! No more 1.5 ratio for me. (is that ever mentioned in a tutorial and I missed it?) e: more fun trivia. The things the various thugs say throughout the game, i.e. "You're not Alexander!", "I'm Alexander the Great!", "I'm brutal and ruthless!", "My style is impetuous!", and "My defenses are impregnable!" are all taken/paraphrased from a press conference with Mike Tyson regarding his upcoming fight against Lennox Lewis. Tyson posted:Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah! Tyson posted:I'm the most brutal and ruthless conquerer there has ever been. Tyson posted:Lennox is a conqueror? No. I’m Alexander. He’s no Alexander. I’m the best ever. sidenote, Tyson is loving insane. cowboythreespeech has a new favorite as of 05:34 on Jul 19, 2014 |

Yeah Bro posted:It's been a while since I've played god hand, but I am pretty sure that playing through after completing the game lets you buy all the late game abilities from the beginning, which isn't exactly the same as ng+ but is close enough. Right, but you don't keep them, which I think is what he was getting at. You need to buy them again.

They said they weren't going to do DLC for DS2. I'm super glad (and not surprised) they decided against that.

I have such good memories of getting stoned and playing that game in my garage. Inifintely more intense when you're being influenced by marihuana leaf smoke. I loved the prizes you get for beating time trials.

cobalt impurity posted:All the Genesis games Sonic check his watch and sigh while staring at the player as part of the idle animation. I used to make sure he was standing right on the edge of the pod-thing's spring release when I finished a zone so he would do the "almost going to fall" animation. I couldn't stand letting him idle and then stare at me with that irritated look in his eyes while my score was counted up.

At the end of said mission, Brick suggests that you just jump off the giant tower instead of clmibing down. I'm pretty sure doing so gets you an achievment; at the very least, it impresses Brick (and is awesome)

Dishonoured is sooo like Thief. The sneaky sneaking, and the rewards for not being detected and not killing anyone... but towards the end of the game, you come across two Whalers, a group of assassins, and one is obviously in training. The person training him says "For your next trial, you must remain unseen. Stay in the shadow and avoid the light. Cross to the other side of the room without attracting notice", which is what one of the Keepers tells you in your training in Thief 1, pretty much. Also, enemies snoring when you choke them out/sleeper dart them

God Hand has a lot of really lovely dialogue, but some of Gene's comments make me laugh. "drat, I'm poor" and "... douchebags" are pretty funny in context. Also, Gene is like the lamest lame. Same with Ashley Riot, frankly. I also love the Mike Tyson quotes some of the enemies throw out... but I think I mentioned that earlier in the thread. It's simultaneously the best and worst game ever. cowboythreespeech has a new favorite as of 07:18 on Oct 1, 2014 |

In Super House of Dead Ninjas, the flippers allow you to run across water. Of course, I figured this out by accidentally running headlong into an enemy.

My Lovely Horse posted:It's starting to sound like this is less "nice attention to detail" and more "happens all the time but webcomic writers thought they were all pretty smart pointing out the one time it didn't". Yeah, it happens in FFVIII, too. Selphie tries to use cure on a moomba in the D-District Prison, and it just hurts the thing because of the anti-magic field.

Abugadu posted:It's gotten tougher and tougher for me to go through games without looking up poo poo on the internet a few times, partly because games are ~60-80 hours long and I'm not going through it twice when I have a backlog of other stuff to play and I don't want to miss all the cool poo poo because of something I did at hour 6, and partly because I don't want to get a derp ending due to the same reasons. The Zodiac Spear chest is ridiculous, even with the (negligible) hints in the game. However, getting it pretty much breaks the game. I got it as soon as I was able to get into the Necrohol (through the Salikawood), and made sure Basch had the license for it by that time. The game basically became a joke at that point. Tore up every enemy except like the last few elite marks. Mind you, it's super hard to get right away even if you know where it is AND haven't opened the forbidden chests; the goblins and poo poo in the Necrohol one-shot you if you go there as early as possible. e: that was like the fourth time I'd played through it though, so it was super fun to have a ridiculously over-powered weapon. stab stab stab

Triple Triad ruled. Plus, as if the game wasn't broken enough as it is, when you get to the end you can just refine them all into like a million great items and just be literally invincible the entire time you fight Omega/Ultimecia. really though, you can use the junction system to make your characters unnecessarily strong reaaally early on. Last time i played it I pretty much physical'd my way through everything.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:I made the mistake of playing a game with Ellone and it turns out there are CRAZY MOON RULES. The Lunar Cry wasn't just powerful monsters populating the world, it was also the game of Triple Triad becoming nonsensical. No matter who I played or where, the CRAZY MOON RULES would slaughter me. The best way to avoid that is to challenge her (or whoever the gently caress) and when you get to the part where it says "play with these rules?", quit. Keep doing that and eventually it'll say "(something) has been abolished/spread throughout the region" and then it'll pretty much just be the rules you came with. That's the theory, anyways. Works sometimes. Make sure you save before you try though.

I love how in Far Cry 4 that when you do Yogi and Reggie's missions, at the beginning the colours are hosed and the music is blaring, and as you progress the colours get less and less weird and the music fades out, i.e. coming down. I also love how it hurts my eyes a lot.
