The part in the first Kingdom Hearts (the only one worth playing) where, near the end, you go through a door and find yourself flying in some dark place. You approach a huge mountain and suddenly Night on Bald Mountain starts to play, as red eyes gleam, and Satan unfurls his wings for a sweet boss fight right out of Fantasia.

Destiny has simultaneous kills in multiplayer when you both smack each other dead like Halo did.

A lot of people hate these but I find them hilarious every time.

So The Sims 4 added a new "emotions" system to the series, where instead of just being in a good mood or a bad one like previous games, different events can add points to one of like 14 emotions, and whichever one is dominant gives your Sims new animations, new ways of interacting with other Sims or objects, etc.

If your Sim is in a confident mood, they can "pee like a champion."



LIKE A CHAMPION

It's hardly a little thing but the Nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor is absolutely fantastic. How you fight the Uruk-hai captains affects what their weaknesses are. Say you take out a captain by burning him, the next time you see him he'll be burned and could potentially freak out over fire.

It really makes this game a lot of fun.

Dying to a grunt has consequences as well, they'll move up the chain of command. They can also taunt you and walk away instead of dealing a killing blow.

Alright, the thread has convinced me that I need Shadow of Mordor. There's really nothing else I'm very interested in until Bloodborne releases. Hoping there's a digital download available since I'm too impatient and immature to wait until tomorrow. Off to check PSN, this better be as good as you people are making it out to be.

Is it like with Wolfenstein: The New Order, where they deliberately bloated up the game's files with junk data as an "anti-piracy measure" (more like anti-consumer measure, really) or is it more like Metal Gear Rising, where they just decided to leave a bunch of assets completely uncompressed for some strange reason.

I guess there's a time or two in Spec Ops: The Line that has that happen where there's a rather blatant option but you could do something else that's a little less obvious. Such as when you encounter the crowd that beat/hung one of your squad mates. The obvious choice is to fire into them but you can also put some warning shots over their head to have them scatter.

In Xenoblade Chronicles the main character's weapon, the Monado, is an energy blade that can cut pretty much anything, but in an early cutscene it's revealed that it just bounces off of other people. This isn't really a problem for most of the game since your main enemies are monsters and evil robots. Midway through the game, however, there's a sequence where you're attacked by assassins. If you have the main character in your active party during this segment, all of his attacks will do 1 damage to them, and they'll bounce off the assassins as though the attack was blocked. Just like the cutscene showed, the Monado won't work on other people.

What's neat about this is that aside from the 1 damage, there's nothing during the sequence to explicitly remind you of this plot point. It's on you to remember why your attacks aren't working, and change your strategy accordingly.

Deus Ex had a great version of this.

"Ok, I'll help you, but only if you kill my boss."
"Already did."
"...what? Why?"

I am guilty of not beating a lot of games. I am also guilty of beating games with a lot of replayability only once. I've beaten Dark Souls 1 and 2 three times each.

I've beaten Resident Evil 4 nine times on three different systems.

This ventures into the other topic's territory, but I'm still kind of disappointed that like most moral choice games, there's no real neutral ending in Undertale. If you're neither a saint nor the most evil monster in the world, nothing loving happens. Here's your credits, bye.

Which part are you referencing? The conversation with the bitchy frienemy? That's the only one that sticks out to me as being a long series of choices that has an obvious goal, but I didn't bother trying to game her responses. I figured that if she wasn't going to take my advice, she can get hosed. I stand by my decision.

Someone mentioned your Fallout 4 character saying things like "Sure" "I see..." and "Go on..." when you're advancing a conversation. After drinking, this changes to, "SING IT BROTHER!" "eeeeeYUP" and a sassy "MM-HMM!" I discovered this while one of my companions was telling me their sad life story.
