Helldivers is a horrendous, incestuous mix of Starship Troopers, Warhammer 40k and Starcraft* and I love it. *all of those things are rip-offs of each other anyway

Arx Monolith posted:Can we hear more? Sell me on it. Thats why I read this thread, to hear about games I should play. HELLDIVERS: Starship Troopers: the movie: the game Ok so the gameplay is a top-down twin stick shooter, uhh I don't really play the genre so I don't know any other games like that. I guess it controls like Hotline Miami? Sort of? Anyway it's one to four people, with friendly fire off, which is it's own totally great thing. You do semi-random missions on a semi-random map and then defend an extraction point while fending off alien hordes, with 12 difficulty levels. 12 is basically impossible unless you have 4 people. But the setting is basically Starship Troopers the movie turned up to 11. You're a HELLDIVER, heroic protector of FREEDOM, LIBERTY, DEMOCRACY and SUPER EARTH, from the horrible (oil-rich) bugs, the abominable (socialist) Cyborg, and the WMD-having (maybe...) uh, psychic squid dudes (totally the Protoss). You can call in a mech, which is exactly the 40k Space Marine Dreadnought. There's a double barreled shotgun called Double Freedom. Your character quips stuff like "How about a hot cup of Liber-TEA". Entering the game, re-spawning and calling in equipment is done through orbital drop pods. They destroy everything they land on... enemies, teammates, the tank your teammate just called in 2 seconds ago, the guy whose game you're joining...

haveblue posted:All the MGR boss fights have amazing music, and they even tie the mix into the game. Each boss's song only plays its lyrics when you reach the final phase, except the final boss. His lyrics are on so long as Raiden is holding his sword- there are a couple of ways during the fight in which it can leave his hand, and when that happens it's instrumental until he gets it back. This includes a moment during the climatic QTE animation when he briefly take his hands off it. Also Sam, where the lyrics are always on unless he loses his sword.

PunkBoy posted:Speaking of MOBAs, the latest League of Legends champion, Ekko, has some custom dialogue when you buy certain items. His whole gimmick is that he can manipulate time, so if you buy Zhonya's Hourglass, which freezes the champion in time temporarily, he goes "How can I NOT get this?" Do he mean that in the sense like "how could I not buy this; it's so me!" or more like "How do I not understand this time trick and thus need an item to do it for me"?

Otherwise those soldiers would just die and its up to you, the badass protagonist, to save the day.. Kind of similar is the military takeover of the mall near the end of the first Dead Rising. It's a great inversion of the whole military is useless against the zombies idea, although ends up being bad since they're uh, trying to kill/vanish the survivors anyway.

Gitro posted:Holy poo poo, Grim Dawn actually has a really in-depth official breakdown of a lot of their mechanics, including exactly how armour works (although it's pretty obvious from looking at it in-game), the to-hit calculation and the order that resistances/defences apply. Do they avoid the thing where they say +20% damage resistance or whatever which makes you think, ok just -20% damage cool, like 100 damage becomes 80, but the actual formula is 1 / (1+DR) so that 20% damage resistance actually means you take 83 damage?

Pokemon sun and moon's got some great quality of life things. If you catch a new pokemon when your party's full it gives you the choice of keeping it and swapping another to the box, you can also get a prompt to pull items off the boxed one a button that lets you see any buffs/debuffs/status effect on your and opponents pokemon there poke-petting minigame thing from X/Y is back but this time it lets you cure status effects after a battle, also you can hit a button at the end of the battle and go right to that screen once you've battled a pokemon once, it'll say the effectiveness of your moves for the future. I mean once you know what type a pokemon is anyone whose played a bit should know the type table off by heart but it helps for those weird type-interactions that don't make much sense, and well there's almost a thousand of the suckers so, There's a dedicated button for pokeballs (instead of going into the inventory) when battling wild pokemon although that might have been in previous games, I can't remember. If it was then that's a little things for them I guess.

So online is once again going to be the exclusive province of crazy Smogon nerds. enh, the bigger loss is the horde events. With pokerus, a power item maybe and another mon that knew sweet scent + had a multihit move (ie. Venasaur w/ earthquake) you could trigger a horde battle and get like 100 evs at once. It was way faster. Inzombiac posted:Is Wonder Trade still in? it's still in but no that's the whole point of wondertrade. Probably you get poo poo. Maybe you get something nice.

BioEnchanted posted:I've always wanted a game which would be difficult to get all the upgrades/hit max level/stats in, but if you succeed the game (assuming that if you've bothered it's not your first time playing and your just replaying it) recognises your ludicrous power and just has the final boss cowering as you carve your way effortlessly to his inner chamber, with his speech going form "HAH! You mortal fools think you can defeat a GOD!?" to "oh god, oh god, go away. Haven't you done enough? My plans are in ruins, my strongest warriors are dead, DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO COME AFTER ME TOO?! Why do you think I used minions, I'm just the management... in one of the borderlands 2 dlc the boss of it knows he stands no chance, and basically switches between bluster and pleading throughout the missions. When you storm his lair he sends out a group of his strongest dudes, and freaks out when you kill them. Then you kill his giant pet monster, and he comes out, knowing it's to his doom... and trips and falls walking down the stairs and dies.

" Of course he'd still fight as hard as possible, but he'd be fighting out of desperation, so he'd be in each forms final attack phase immediately because he's just panicking and trying to make you go away, in effect making the fight harder than normal due to him not using his easy patterns.

Your Gay Uncle posted:I'm pretty sure you can see almost every single location in the game( except the Profaned Capitol and Archdragon Peak) from the Giant archer's tower. You can also see Archdragon Peak from Anor Londo. Even before that, from the vista after Bordt before dropping to the undead village you can see everything (that's above ground). Anor Londo is shrouded by clouds but you can get glimpses of it. I'm pretty sure you can see the mountain Archdragon is on too but not the ruins themselves but I'm not 100% on that.

RIP not-evil guy from 1-2. or the dude in DArk souls 2 who hangs out in a dark room with a bunch of usually hostile mobs and they all flip out if you bring a torch in there, which you would because its dark, and there's no warning about this also in the previous room there's a non-hostile torch carrying enemy who wanders around, so you might spare him only to regret it when he wanders in and aggroes that merchant and room on you.

Somfin posted:I have never felt horror and relief like I felt when I accidentally kicked off the final ending of Nier: Automata and was given multiple chances to cancel out of it, both of which I missed, before learning that failing the final mission lets you drop back to the title screen. I'm really stupidly invested in this gameworld and I'm not ready to be done with it yet. Don't worry- even if you do complete the final ending, it doesn't auto delete your save or anything. That's a choice you have say "yes" to several times. So go nuts!

samu3lk posted:In Nier: Automata in your first playthrough, you're walked through setting up your options in the main menu. 9S mentions he's recording it for posterity. apparently it is very common for people to decide to take a piss/food/smoke break during the first go through, so the second time they get several minutes of nothing also there's a bit when setting the controller rumble where you can mess with 9S (it's set up like he's tapping 2B to test her sense of touch), so he's all "did you feel that?" and you're like "no", and he's like, "uh, crap, ok can you feel this? how bout THIS" and the controller vibrates more and more. On the second playthrough you get his thoughts where he's kind of freaking out and is super awkward.

RareAcumen posted:I like how sometimes you've got trainers spinning, looking around, stretching or just doing something instead of standing stock still waiting for someone to walk into their field of view. Hopefully, once they make a Pokemon game for the Switch, they'll be able to move past Yakuza 1 level of animations for most people. And they now even have actual fields of view based on where they're looking instead of 'straight ahead'. Like there's a swimmer doing toe touches- while she's standing up she'll see you if you're in front of her, but while she's bending down she's looking backwards through her legs so she'll see if you're behind her and won't if you're in front.

cubicle gangster posted:They asked you to spoil it. I want you to spoil it too, the only pc I have is my work one and I'm not installing that on it. Ok I will step up to this shameful task e; This is big big spoilers for Doki Doki Literature Club, just to be clear, since there are other games being talked about that need spoiler tags too. First playthrough ends with one of the characters killing herself. Like boom dead body. And it's all your fault. You could have saved her. Second playthrough poo poo goes a little... haywire. That dead character is gone. Like completely removed from the story, all events shifting to account for her absence. But it's better that way. We're better without her. Other character's text starts... being replaced. By the truth. Also there's some... disturbing imagery (more in the sense of spooky creepypasta lite-gore, not in the uhhhh, sexualized underage teens way, thankfully, I want to be very clear on that). One of the characters goes well off the deep end. True ending: You get to be with best girl forever. Mazerunner has a new favorite as of 09:34 on Oct 26, 2017 |

Who What Now posted:It would have been better just being a visual novel about growing up with depression, because, subjective or not, I honestly don't know how things like this are supposed to be scary. bad example. That pic's not supposed to be scary on it's own. It's that you (have a random chance to!) see it for like half a second, probably out of the corner of your eye, as you focus on another mechanic that has become mundane. You go wait, what was that? Did I imagine that or was something there? The image itself is not scary, but it contributes to the atmosphere, the sense of wrongness.

Schneider Inside Her posted:Playing Destiny 2 and after the intro you lose your powers and are cooked. Right after this happens they give you a ledge you can’t jump onto without your double jump, so you have to walk over to an outcrop and use that to get the necessary height. Pretty slick. They added a ledge clamber thing, where if you didn't quite make the jump your character automatically pulls themselves up that's how you're supposed to get past that ledge, no need to jump off another thing but points for ingenuity, I guess?

I liked the random coffin the tutorial area of Dark Souls 2 that swapped your character's gender with exactly zero warning or fanfare. I think some people actually got mad that they were suddenly a gal/dude when they wanted to be a dude/gal but most people just went, "wait, hang on..." several hours later. Then in scholar of the first flame they messed it up by locking that section of the area off until much later and put a warning message or something.

Cleretic posted:Fallout 3 and New Vegas, arguably Oblivion but I think it falls rear end-backwards into having a purpose, I think in Morrowind* it had more of a point and purpose- fast travel when you're out in the boonies was very limited, so it was more like these long expeditions. Having some sort of way to repair/replenish your weapons was crucial, whether that was having backups (less carry capacity for new loot), repairing it yourself (have to invest skill points + carry repair tools, also repair tools had durability), or just using whatever you find (random, unreliable and probably worse than your poo poo), or just throw your hands up and hoof it back to town (time cost). You could do roleplay stuff like clearing out a cave and stashing gear there as an expedition base. It encourages investment and planning. But as you got access to fast travel spells and items like mark/recall and the interventions, why would you bother? Just Mark the cave you're in, Intervention to a town to heal/repair/stash your loot and then Recall back. The most "optimal" way to play is to go back to town whenever you need for a few minutes and bypass durability completely. Then in Oblivion and up you can fast travel easily from the get-go, so item durability really just becomes a periodic time and gold fee. *I didn't play the earlier ones, can't comment on them Mazerunner has a new favorite as of 06:49 on Dec 1, 2018 |

BioEnchanted posted:Started playing a really cute old japanese Pokemon style game called Telefang: Power (with translation patch), which had a similar duality (it had 2 games, Power and Speed). The idea is that instead of a pokedex you have a cellphone called the D-Shot - it's a cellphone that has such a powerful signal it goes up to 4 bars rather than then usual 3. This extra power allows it to interact with/pick up signals from the other world where the monsters live. If you impress monsters by beating them, they give you their numbers and you can call one of them to help your main guy (and the main can be swapped out, I'm just not right now, I've only just started) in battle. Holy poo poo. Holy poo poo. When I was a kid I was so into pokemon I wanted more- downloaded roms of gold and silver in japanese before the english release, or just like, whatever was available that said 'pokemon' on it. One of those things was a game- in poor, half translated engrish- that had something about telephone numbers for beating the monsters. But no one ever knew wtf I was talking about, so eventually I figured it was some primitive romhack, or a translation error, or a fever dream. This is that game. Thank you, bio.
