Randalor posted:I'm honestly a little sad he suppressed the giggles. His character is clearly losing his marbles at this point in the game anyways and is actively killing his own soldiers out of paranoia. gently caress it, let him collapse into maniacal laughter as he says "SPACE!". I've now watched every Tim Curry cutscene on YouTube and they're all amazing. At one point he takes a good long look at his assistants rear end then gives the camera a knowing smirk. It almost makes me want to play the game but there's no way it can live up to the Curryscenes.

Mafia 3 When you get into a shootout with the cops, if you get into a car during you'll hear a report of your active situation being reported live. It's a great little thing that I don't remember other open world games doing and it really enhances the atmosphere by making your getaway chase feel way more tense and real.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Several GTA games will do the same, actively reporting "Suspect is fleeing in, uh... a green [car model]" You're right, so I should clarify. In the GTA games it always felt like you were just listening in on the police scanner. In Mafia it's presented as a breaking news report so you're in a tense shootout, you get into a car and as you're making your getaway the radio comes on and you hear breaking news about the shootout the French Ward that you just participated in. It does also do the "eavesdrop on the police scanner" thing so you know when a search has been called off (for example) so I thought the radio reporting was a nice little extra touch.

In Sleeping Dogs I really enjoy having Wei deny he's a cop while dressed head to toe in SWAT gear. Also, eat and drink food while wearing a surgical mask. Also, slapping enemies with live fish.

Since it came up in the past few pages, Steamworld Dig is currently free on Origin (I know I know ugh) and its a fantastic little game. Didn't even know there was a sequel! Also I've been playing Just Cause 3 and one of the standard items you have to destroy to liberate areas is a projector which projects propaganda onto a big screen. I got curious how they actually did it though so I hooked one up to my car and was presently surprised the projection is actually rendered separately and not just an image tied to the screen. As you pull the projector away the image lowers in perfect real-time off the screen. Means nothing to gameplay but I appreciate that level of detail in modeling and rendering rather than using a cheap shortcut.

Another actual little thing from New Order: If you flush all the toilets in the hideout BJ says to himself "this is becoming a compulsion". Also Set is a wonderful character but if he's a Polish Jew why does he speak English with an old timey Brooklyn accent?

Is Perfect Dark for 360 the exact same game as the N64 original, just with improved graphics? I have the remaster but from my fuzzy memories of the N64 version the 360 one feels more of a sequel-lite sort of thing.

BioEnchanted posted:Something I'd be interested in would be a game where it simulated being something so inhuman as to not even use the same senses, like a Spider. Having to navigate based not on visual accuracy but on light intensity or vibration alone, with no real sense of up or down because it doesn't loving matter, everything is the floor. You find a nice dark spot to spin your web, only for it to shake apart suddenly in the morning, and suddenly due to how hard it vibrates you see a massive shape displacing the hell out of the air and realise - one of the walls you used to anchor your web was actually the side of a tumble-dryer.

When it's on orbit, you access it like one of the cameras from the game, getting a full view of Earth and all the databases of Blume(the EVIL corporation). Then you go around the world, flipping through the satellites that are on orbit, and invading each of the sites that Blume owns and hacking them until you have enough openings to enter the main one and extract their info by solving a massive pipe puzzle(But with data). Yeah I adored that. You get to revisit it again too!
