Mario Kart 8 has a lot of neat visual touches. Your wheels pick up dirt or snow, and get washed off when you go underwater. One of Bowser's taunts/tricks/whatever has him breathing a little fireball, but nothing comes out when he's underwater.

Wintermutant posted:I don't know if it really counts as a little thing, since it's the main hook of the game, but I love how well it straddles the line between Dynasty Warriors and Zelda. I was just expecting a reskin of Dynasty Warriors, and in a lot of ways that's all it is, but in others, particularly item implementation and bosses, they really bring the Zelda feel with a Dynasty Warriors mass brawl layered on top of it. There's something incredibly satisfying about charging up a spin attack as Link and just blowing 100 goblins to hell. Hyrule Warriors has some issues but it's pretty fun for what it's worth, and it looks like Nintendo's actually going hog-wild on the DLC this time. It's a worthwhile game.

MGSV: I was eavesdropping on a conversation between two of my dudes on Mother Base and they were talking about how Big Boss got his name. On the line "That's our Boss," one of the soldiers turned around and waved at me. Wow!

My interest in Just Cause 3 was waning until I unlocked doge mode. It really breathes some new life into the game. Suddenly, blowing poo poo up is fresh and fun again.

I've gotten back into Xenoblade Chronicles and I really don't think any game has a better sense of your character becoming more powerful. It's so satisfying to go back and wreck all the monsters that used to pop out of nowhere and murk you

scarycave posted:Some more little things about Spirit Tracks, after having bad memories with the fire temple duet on the DS - I managed to get through after 8 tries without getting angry. For most of the game the spirit flute was the reason I wasn't really enjoying the game, but now that I've gotten the hang of it - the game is really good and I'm probably just saying since I was right outside the final boss battle when my DS game went missing years ago and I don't remember any more duets. And the music is great! Especially the overworld theme.

I think what I like most about Just Cause 3 is how colorful it is, especially compared to 2. A lot of games of that genre try to make everything really gritty and dim but JC3 is full of fields of flowers and bright blue oceans. It's a really pretty game.

I just finished Bayonetta and I really appreciate how satisfying the combat is. Like, I don't really know what I'm doing, but pressing buttons at random makes me do cool looking poo poo, so that's a win in my book.

I'm playing through Mario RPG as well and trying to do a Mallow and Geno run, since I always ended up using Bowser and Peach in previous playthroughs. It's still one of my favorite games but I lost to Croco because I forgot to buy and equip armor. I also forgot that the mole village is a little uncomfortably racist

haveblue posted:And then it finally shakes the church off its head, and it launches a huge fireball at you, which you counter by throwing the remains of the church at it. Yeah, Bayonetta is fantastic and the sequel is even better. The Nintendo costumes change more than you think. For example, the Link outfit changes halos to rupees and adds the classic Zelda puzzle solving jingle

In Link's Awakening, if you save and quit immediately after buying something, you only lose the amount that your rupee counter ticked down to before you paused. You can get the 900+ rupee bow for like 100 if you're fast enough

TooMuchAbstraction posted:The day I realized just how little you need equipment upgrades in most RPGs was a real eye-opener. Oh look, a new town with new weapons and armor! Cool, I'ma take weapon upgrades for my non-casters and maybe one or two bits of armor if they grant useful resists, and the rest can stay on the shelves. On the (unlikely) off-chance that I later actually need more upgrades, skipping earlier ones makes the later ones easier to afford, but mostly this just means more time engaging with the world and less engaging with the shopkeeper and equipment interface. I had this kind of epiphany when I realized I can just sell some of the 300 potions I'm always lugging around and easily afford most of the new shop stuff.
