You roundhouse kicked a goose? Are you mad, man? You do NOT piss off the goose more than you have to, otherwise they WILL hunt you down and make your life a living hell, the only release being the cold, icy grip of winter's Embrace. And guess what, winter's embrace is getting shorter every year.

RareAcumen posted:Want to play a sewer level that's been automated and it's full of robots keeping things spotless and it's basically only called a sewer level with none of the awful parts. Take it one step further, ultra-pristine and clean sewers during some sort of apocalyptic event, because the mayor years back was a neat freak and didn't like the occasional poo streak in the drainage canals despite them being within "acceptable tolerance parameters" so they cranked the "cleanliness" setting to max and called it a day. The robots now view all humans as "unclean" and you have to fight through the custodial droids on your way to wherever, and take out their main server to boot. Near the end of the game you go back into the sewers and it's in infinitely worse shape. All the robots are offline and there's the occasional poo streak in the drainage canal.

Wait, wasn't the chained floating island Mt Woe? And speaking of, Mt Woe is good if you like giant chains. The entire area is chained together on chains large enough that you use them to access the different maps, and it gives the feeling that the entire thing would fall apart if it wasn't for the chains.

I got Just Cause 4 on the weekend, and I'm not sure if they changed the mechanics for the better or I was just poo poo at it in 3, but it seems to be easier/quicker to switch between the wingsuit, grapnel and parachute than in the previous game, so I'm getting a lot more distance with the wingsuit and more height with the parachute than in JC3.

I just started playing Control today. I'm not sure if its because of the voice in her head, or the Oldest House just being polite to her (and I'm guessing by extension the rest of the staff) but that the doors open before Jesse gets to them even before she becomes the Director (gently caress spoilers, that's literally 5 minutes into the game) is a nice touch of odd behaviour that helps set the stage for (I'm assuming) the rest of the game. I just got the OoP that turns the game into an okay third-person shooter into Telekinesis Simulator 2019. Plus, yeah, they really nail the "SCP if it was an actual government agency" vibe perfectly. Do have to question why all the intra-office memos are so redacted though.

An odd "little thing", but I do like how the main story in Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a self-contained story. Sure it's shorter than Spider-Man's story was, but at the same time, its more enjoyable because it JUST focuses on Rexxon/The Underground, unlike Spider-Man's, which bounced all over the place because the developers wanted to have the Inner Demons and Kingpins gang, AND the rise of Doc Ock, AND the Sinister Six (which means storyline missions where you capture the various members of the Sinister Six before that) all as central focus. It felt more like how a storyline in the comics would be.

bony tony posted:I think you can turn that off in the settings, so it'd just give you an objective marker instead of describing where something is, but I like being able to opt into fun like that. When I'm on one of those quests where you have to look around, I try not to use Ikaros too much, because he can see much further than I can. While I like quests like that, it helps when the people who make the quest/map/whatever don't get East and West confused. Spent way too long scouring the mountains east of the Alrekstad in Valhalla looking for the first treasure map location before I just gave up and looked it up online, turns out I had already found it earlier because it was on the island to the west of the town, despite the map literally saying "East of Alrekstad".

If I remember correctly, the guide writers weren't sure which 4 chests it were either. I remember there were a few sections where the guide basically just went "If you want the special spear, don't open any chest in this area. One of them locks you out of it, and we don't know which one ourselves".

Have even the slightest notion of self-preservation? Hahaha... no. Horatio is a close second, though.

The best "recent" pirate game was probably the Curse of the Vampire Coast DLC/Faction for Total War: Warhammer 2. Undead pirates led by a vampire who had his mind and personality shattered by an Aztec lizardpeople curse, an opera-singing banshee, or a... human? (I thought she was a siren that had cut off her fin and replaced it with two sawfish bills for legs but apparently she's just a mutant human) pirate who uses sawfish bills as her peg legs. Or just another old vampire wizard. You can loot and pillage, dig up buried treasure, and be a general nuisance to everyone along the coast. Sounds like a pirate game to me.

So I finished Dragon Quest Builders 2 recently after my wife kept insisting I actually finish it. I do like how the theme of the duality of Creation and Destruction and how each relies on the other to exist (while Malroth can't build anything himself in the game, he's REALLY good at gathering resources to let you build, and even teaches you a strong area-destroying technique to farm resources faster) is actually shown through the game, rather than just being tacked on in the final area. Also, that I was allowed to raze Moonbrooke to the ground, drown their beacon of hope in poisonous sludge and fill the remaining area of the castle with poisoned water, before turning the castle built by the people of Moonbrooke into a jail for them, all for what they did to Malroth was far more entertaining than it should have been.

Cleretic posted:I'm already liking Faust in Guilty Gear Strive. If you haven't played it, he's the doctor in the paper bag with the giant scalpel--you know, likely the one Guilty Gear character you know by sight. He's much more big and creepy than in previous games, but he's got a bunch of wacky, weird moves like throwing out random junk, summoning scarecrows, running into his opponent's shin with a wheelchair (that's one of his supers), and giving his opponent a haircut. Three important questions about Strive: Is May still a character, does her forward punch still cause a ton of stun damage, and does she still have a ridiculously easy to land instant-kill?

Cleretic posted:I can tell you May is there, but my main is Axl Low* so I couldn't tell you how her balance goes. I'm pretty sure instant kills aren't in Strive, though a quick check of May's through the series says that her instant kill was only easy to land in the original Guilty Gear. And I'll tell you that the bolded part is a drat lie when you consider her 6P had ridiculous invulnerability and stun damage on it, combined with her IK in X and XX being a grab. I mean, it's not as easy as it was in the original GG, but then again, none of them were as easy to do as they were in that one.

Post poste posted:Bio Enchanted once tried to direct their power, and that created Breath of Fire 6. Really, I'm surprised they tried it a second time after the first time birthed BoF: Dragon Quarter. "Here's a new game in a long-running franchise about turning into a dragon! By the way, both turning into a dragon or even dashing will kill you." As for little things in games: In Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Dr. Nefarious makes an offhand comment about his servent Lawrence being on paternity leave. At the end of the game, Lawrence is shown with his wife and new baby, and Dr Nefarious is absolutely pleased to see them. It cements the difference between him and Emperor Nefarious, who fired his assistant mid-prison break for something that was in no way her fault.

Acute Grill posted:My favorite thing about ME1's (admittedly weak) gunplay was how they tied weapon customization into the overheating system. Slap some high quality Frictionless Materials and Cryo Ammo and you can have an assault rifle that isn't great for damage but will literally never overheat. You can just walk through a mission with the trigger held down, lighting up enemies, allies, walls, wildlife, etc with absolute abandon. You can also go in the other direction and make your Sniper Rifle or Shotgun function like a rocket launcher and have it immediately overheat but lob an exploding ball of flaming slag at the enemy, which were both great ways of utilizing the weapons if you were a class that couldn't otherwise train them up normally. I remember having a pistol that was almost capable of one-shotting anything in the game. You could only fire it once a fight because it generated about as much heat as the sun, but whatever it was shot at would basically be dead.

My wife was playing Cross Code and took the quiz to join the guild. The smug look on the PC's face when you choose the obviously wrong question on the... third? question is just  The main character can only say Hi, Bye and her name, so the guild leader gives her a multiple choice quiz, but can't think of a fourth choice for the third question. One of the guild members shouts out "Cream puffs" and you can choose that as the answer. The PC gives the smuggest smirk possible while holding up 4 fingers, and the guild leader is less than amused.

Cleretic posted:All of the pixel remasters are based on the original NES versions (presumably the IV-VI remakes will be based on the original SNES, but they aren't out yet), although with a balance/bugfix pass. Did they fix the Int bug so that magic strength scales on Int? That was always the thing that bugged me, there was no version that had both the Vancian spellcasting and scaling spell strength (that I know of) so there was never a good reason to run a Black Mage over the Red Mage (when your selling points are "higher spell damage" and "higher number of spells", and one of those doesn't work and the other is mitigated by "can actually use weapons"...).
