Isn't that kinda spoilery? I disliked a lot of things about Bravely Default. But I liked how that boss is vulnerable to instant death.

Ikaruga's first boss is a giant flying Gundam style mech called Eboshidori. If you don't attack it at all, when 100 seconds pass it salutes you before flying away.  According to the backstory, the pilot of it is the main character's archenemy or somesuch.

Mass Effect 2 was the only game in the series I liked, and I think Legion was a big part of that. He was pretty neat. I'm replaying Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and it's sequels. I love all the silly background events featuring Luigi, like him falling asleep in a lecture. Later on you get the Firehand and Thunderbrand power for Mario and Luigi respectively that lets them make a ball of Fire/Electricity as a melee attack. One of my friends insists that Mario got fire because he acts hotheaded and Luigi is quick to bolt. Probably entirely a coincidence, but a neat thought.

OFF is a really weird and depressing game but I like that the first boss (Dedan) spontainously rips open his trench coat between the end of the conversation with him and the start of the fight. Mortis Ghost, the creator, mentioned that some of his biggest inspirations were Killer7 and Earthbound. I think there's a number of games that have tried to capture that feeling, but OFF really does it well. Babe Magnet posted:I was looking up Otogi recently because I remembered it being one of my favorite games, and I made the shocking discovery that it was published by the same people that published half of my favorite games from back in the day. Echo Night, Chromehounds, Tenchu, Otogi, and King's Field. Lost Kingdoms 2 is pretty great, also.

GIANT OUIJA BOARD posted:I never finished OFF, does it get less repetitive as it goes on? I stopped after the first boss because the 8-bit RPG combat was just tedious, and the number of random encounters that there were made it kind of frustrating to actually play, which is a shame because I loved the setting and just how utterly weird it is. You could watch an LP. It gets less repetitive only in the sense that your damage scales way faster then enemy HP does, and things get way weirder. If you really feel like it you can grind, too. Mortis Ghost said that he made Dedan specifically to be despised, but I can't help but find him endearing.

F3AR has a pretty cool multiplayer mode where you play as, to quote an average man, Point Man or his imaginary friend. They have different styles of play and all that, though if Paxton Fettel does more stuff you get the crap ending. Regardless,the way that Fettel finds possessing people to be hilarious every time is really contagious. My brother kept possessing dudes because his laugh made us keep laughing.

In DotA 2, one cosmetic for the character Shadow Fiend changes him from a shadowy wraith creature to a fiery-shadowy wraith creature. If you walk into the river on the map with it equipped, steam rises up. Apparently getting attacked by the water bolt of Morphling does it too

lenoon posted:I know fishing in WoW is sometimes seen as a a lovely mini game, but I appreciated the amount of effort that went into it. I'd spend time waiting for my guild to gather for a raid while fishing for the magical crawdad. It leant a good feel to my character. Sighing, I'd put away the fishing rod and pull out the weapons, don armour and go face horrors, then, job done, I'd go back to fishing. It was nice. There's hundreds of fish too. Neddy Seagoon posted:Give Reach a look if you haven't, it's actually well worth playing. I'm generally not a fan of prequels, but it manages to be the rare exception that is its own big stand-alone thing without infringing on the main series with endless "wink-wink, we're setting up THIS". It even works in setting up the first game at the end by turning it into a very meta-knowledge moment of "Oh. I'm definitely not surviving this Uh, what. I barely played the Halo games and Reach was an impenitrable mess of "you should know this by now, so we're not explaining it." which is kinda not great for a prequel.

I haven't played it but apparently in Far Cry 4 the Pagan Man or whatever eurotrash of the hour is called asks you to sit for an hour, where you're expected to get up and start the game. You can choose to wait at which point an hour later he comes back, apologizes for the misunderstanding and sends you on your way If that's true, it's awesome. I love that kind of thing in games; Shadow Complex had it too.

I don't like Starcraft 2 as much as SC 1, and I like Heart of the Swarm MUCH less than Wings of Liberty because of how baffingly bad HotS' story is, but I have to give it credit for something I missed the first time. Dehaka is a zerg who is supposed to be all about ~perfect form~ but he has vestigal limbs which are obviously counter to that; You can actually find one of his still bleeding limbs in a mission and he'll comment he can't figure out why his body hasn't yet replaced his damaged smaller arms with better ones. e: Also in wings of Liberty there's a propaganda report about how Zerglings are allergic to lemon juice, meant to show how the Dominion is Totally In Control, Guys. In Heart of the Swarm the Zerg in charge of genetic engineering makes an offhanded comment about how he needs to fix the Zerglings' lemon juice allergy.

I thought the thing with him being Jack the Ripper worked better just with him being that much of an efficient killer, not a switch he can basically turn on and off.

Iji is basically the Deus Ex of indie games. If you get hit by a special attack of the final boss, he notices it and will try to use it more. On the other hand, if he uses an attack a few times and it never hits, he'll discard it from his rotation except occasionally to throw it in as a curveball. It makes the fight somewhat harder as it goes on but without resorting to a cheap "Aha! I was holding my REAL POWER FOR THE END!" gimmick. Also if an explosion knocks you over and you lie still for a bit, enemies will assume you're dead unless one walks up to you, in which case they'll check and realize you're alive. Nearly every sector of the game has a terminal that will revive you (once) if you die, if you've activated it. The last sector is exceptionally long so it has two. It's the only sector to have a full boss inside of it, as opposed to after. If you die to him, revive, and come back, he'll gloat about how happy he is that he gets to kill you twice. But if you fight him, die, fight him, die, and fight him again he's both absolutely flabbergasted and pissed off.

The best way to get Nano (EXP/Money) originally on a pacifist run was to facetank rockets or other explosives. The splash damage would damage/kill the person firing it or their buddies so you could collect the Nano left.  CJacobs posted:Iji is pretty much Little Things In Games, The Video Game. If you can do something in that game, playstyle-wise or otherwise, it'll have something to say about it. If you're at max ammo but playing as a pacifist, there's a Komato log was flabbergasted as to what you're doing with all of it. First he assumes it might be a misguided attempt at trying to stave their army of supplies before concluding you're just trying to make a black hole in the most impractical way possible. Red Minjo posted:I don't remember that weapon, but that may be why I could never find the item that turned all the dialogue into nonsense. I think that the specific thing for the no kills ending is that there's a thing you have to destroy behind an impenetrable wall, so you need all the points in weapons to use the gun that shoots through walls. The game lets you use an in-universe skill reset to shuffle around your points before and after you need to do this, too. Yeah, combining the strongest Komato and Tasen weapon makes a lightning cannon that penetrates the barrier.

Diablo (the original) really has a different atmosphere from the other two. It's like Dark Souls, in a way. Full of despair and misery in a way that's really engaging.StabMasterArson posted:Battlefield Hardline's singleplayer has a mission where you're breaking into somebody's mansion when suddenly armed goons show up! One of the rooms has a huge tv and video game consoles set up with pizza boxes lying around. If you watch the 2 guards in the room for long enough, one of them actually turns the game on and starts playing Dead Space. Even cooler, if you distract the guy playing with a noise or letting him think he's spot you, if you go check the TV again you'll see he paused the game before coming to look for you It has singleplayer?

WeaponGradeSadness posted:I know it got a lot of hate and contributed a lot to the game's bad-to-mediocre reviews, but I'm playing through Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days right now and I really love the shakycam thing it's got going on, like so (it's a lot more noticeable when actually playing rather than just watching, though). The gameplay itself is kinda standard third-person shooter fare but the camera gimmick reminds me a lot of Children of Men and makes everything a lot more intense and gritty than it would have with standard camera work. It fits the game's dark and nasty tone, gives the whole game a dirty, ugly feel, like it was recorded on a handheld phone by someone following the protagonists around to upload it to some shady Russian snuff-vid website. It'd have worked really well in nearly any other game than Kane and Lynch 2.

The company that translated Fire Emblem Awakening also did Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. Apparently one of the guys at 8-4 (The translators) asked Platinum if it'd be okay if he was a little loose with the translation to add in some Americanisms, which they said okay to. They liked his revisions so much they changed the original script to include them.

In Hotline Miami 2, there's a couple of things I just realized about the end sequence. All of The Fans except Tony join in on torturing and killing a drugged up ex-mafia thug. All of The Fans except Tony are effortlessly cut down by the drugged up boss of the mafia. Speaking of which, Mark's playstyle focuses on guns but he fights you unarmed... And is beaten by a golf club. Corey's special ability is she can dive under bullets... But is shot in the stomach. The Fans also all meet the fate of their heroes: Dead in a Russian building.

NOT A HERO takes place over the course of (most of) a month, with the level select screen being the protagonist's office. Each level/day that passes, his potted plant grows a bit more, and his calendar has another box marked off. But less obviously (to me at least) is the fact that his white board behind his desk gets more smudges around it, because he updates the countdown. By the end, the whole thing is basically a foggy blue from the constant erasing.
