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!".

Len posted:You can shoot polar bears out of a cannon. It then gets a little parachute and slowly drifts down. Allies only get laser cannons and freeze-ray choppers in the base game. In the expansion they also get hover artillery and Terminator robots (the big ones seen at the start of Terminator, not Arnold Schwarzenegger.) Basically, at this point, the Red Alert games are almost the Saints Row of RTS games in how seriously they treat themselves.

Dragonwagon posted:This is how the employee area looks like in-game: The wall and two buildings are different colors, different heights and have different trim along the top. There's a bicycle and a forklift just chilling. There's a fluorescent bulb above one of the doors shining straight down. There's plenty of things pointing to this being outside. Are people really that dumb to think this was just a hallway or room inside a building? Yes. The answer is yes.

Guy Mann posted:Sound also plays into stealth in that gunshots and explosions make a visible radius of sound on your minimap and any Nazis in it will immediately beeline to the center to investigate. What gets fun is when you factor in your timed and remote-controlled explosives so you can use the explosion as a distraction to escape or draw enemies away from a point of interest or just stealth kill them while their backs are turned. My favorite little thing in games is that they teach you this in the tutorial and actually demonstrate it twice. Yes, one of my favorite little things is when a game actually demonstrates how a mechanic works instead of saying "by the way, you can do X" but not show you how it works.

Ariong posted:What about Spindly Torque and the Mech Suit? That's way more than 50 years into the future. No, I'm almost positive that every last bit of futuristic tech that the Nazis have is built from Hebrew blueprints. Because Nazis are stupid. They think torturing people is science. Both the Spindly Torque and the mech suit were from the vault that the nazis didn't find though. Most of the technology seen in the WW2 portion of TNO was either more advanced stuff seen in previous Wolfenstein games or things that actually existed towards the end of the war. Off the top of my head, the early Monitor and the mecha-dogs are the only things in that section that are new to the series. Keep in mind that the WW2 section of the game takes place almost a year after WW2 ended in reality. I'm not saying they didn't reverse engineer some of the technology by that point, just that most of it already existed by that point in the series.

John Murdoch posted:Even removing the Saints Row expectations (which are partly their own fault - game's dripping with references and has a bunch of returning characters) it's a mess, but ultimately a likeable mess. I really hope they bounce back from it stronger and manage to wow folks with a AoM2 because it feels like it would only take a little more push to get the AoM formula right. So hope for another Saints Row/Saints Row 2 lightning in a bottle moment?

I know I missed the SR chat by a day or so, but I just want to say that I never played SR1, and I've never liked Johnny Gat (mostly because in SR2 he comes off as "And the character you know from the previous game, so we won't say anything about him"). So my favorite thing in Gat out of Hell is that you can play the entire game as Kinzie. Because gently caress playing as Gat.

Samuringa posted:The theme of the Last Last Boss of Persona 4 does something like that, it's mostly a very gloomy melody, with bits from some of the themes you heard during the story in a very somber rhythm as you're going against something that might just be impossible, but the last bit, which triggers after a Power Of Friendship Moment where you turn the tables, is an orchestral version of the cheery Main Battle theme The true final boss of Persona 4 is probably my favorite final boss in a jRPG. Not only do you have the somber music that turns into the glorious rendition of the main battle theme, but also when the final boss is down to a sliver of health, she begins spamming her insta-kill move at you. Not at your party. At you. And all you can do is watch as your team members sacrifice themselves to save you while you hope to whittle down the last bit of health before you run out of team members. Oh, and she has two attacks a turn, and you only have three team members. Though it is all scripted and when she kills you, your persona finally reveals his true form and lets you win, it is surprisingly stressful the first time you do it.

I recently bought Just Cause 3 with the three mission DLC, and I enjoy that it actively tracks what you've destroyed in a town/outpost. There have been a few times where I've been shot, ragdolled into the balsawood supports supporting barrels of gas, causing them to fall on me and extend the ragdoll time, only for the barrels to be shot by the enemies and explode, killing me (either that or they explode from hitting the ground, I'm not sure which). I don't remember if Just Cause 2 actively tracked that as well, or if it was like other games where it would autosave every X minutes, and if you blew something up and died between autosaves, whoops, you have to take it out again.

Leavemywife posted:Some evil choices in games are extremely hosed up. In the first Knights of the old Republic game, for example, you can have your Wookie character, who has sworn a life debt to you, murder his best friend, a 14 year old Twilek girl. They've been practically family to each other for years, and the only family either one has had for just as long. Knights of the Old Republic probably had one of the best "You are an irredeemable monster" moments for an evil path. If you're dark side, Mission (the 14-year old girl) is the first one to say "Wait, why the gently caress are we following him?" and wants to leave and take Zaalbar (the wookiee) with her. You mind trick him into killing her, then when you go down to the planet, he tries to kill you for forcing him to kill his friend. On top of that, Johlee Bindo (a jedi that stayed out of the war and was trying to remain neutral on the whole matter) thinks you've become a monster and wants to kill you, Carth runs away, and ultimately all you're left with is HK-47, T3-M4, and Canderous Ordo. Two droids and an Mandalorian who follows you because you're stronger than him. Bastila could also join you, or you could kill her because, y'know, sith have a problem with working together.

quote:SMT talk about alignments. In the SMT universe, you never see any evidence of Jesus Christ, and Lucifer's sin against YHWH tends to be hinted that he did something against YHWH in favor of humanity (and on the scale of "Law=Angels/Divine, Chaos=Demons/Satan, he falls firmly into "Neutral", outright stating that he won't abandon humanity on the neutral path). Just a couple odd things that stuck out to me.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:I've been playing Warship Gunner 2, and I just made a ship that mounts ten 100cm deck guns as its primary armament. I cannot stop laughing, and the fact that I'm annihilating enemy ships with part of a single volley only adds to the amusement. I keep hearing about the warship gunner games are (I think they were released in North America as the Naval Ops games?). Are they actually good and fun to play, or is it a broken mess that's only redeemed by the "What the gently caress?" aspects of the ship building?

At least "Riverson" sounds like something a fish would be named. When I first played it, I thought the guy being eaten by Leviathan was supposed to be a reference to Jonah and the Fish/Whale, and not Leviathan.

Megillah Gorilla posted:I remember all too well being one of the people mocking "consolisation" of games when they brought in loot glow and highlighted objectives. Hell, the original Doom and Doom 2 highlighted a fair number of secrets in the minimap, by showing you where a good number of the fake walls were (they were shown on the minimap as the same color as doors). Now figuring out how to open said fake walls, that was the catch. And the ones you just opened like a door were usually a slightly different texture, so you could spot them if you were paying attention. Then again, these are also, y'know, secrets, and not the stage proper. Though the keys DID shine brightly and in the dark.

I'm too lazy to skip through the video to see if they ever focus on it, but I'm wondering if it's a case of the AI is simply building excess and sending them to gather from the next nearest point early on, or micromanaging the probes so they gather fast enough to justify 8 additional probes. Also, do the replays save the camera positioning of each player, or just in-game actions?

I think it was the same footnote that said that humanity wasn't allowed to have a ship class under a certain size (because we're liable to just make it a giant gun again).

Dr Christmas posted:They’ve made looting much easier too. If someone from you faction attacks an enemy, you and others from your faction can attack it too, and you’ll all get your own loot from it without having to group up. If the monster is a named guy who part of a quest objective or a rare spawn, you don’t even need to be from the same faction, unless you have pvp mode activated. I think they lifted those from the Warhammer MMO as well. It had the same, or at least very similar mechanics. I remeber a few quests requiring bear asses going much faster just because someone was farming them in the same area, so as long as you damaged their enemy and they damaged yours, you both got the look from both enemies.
