Shadow of Mordor

When you cross the sea with your orc army , guess who was waiting for me? Grisha the Puny. That god drat punk kid who killed me, became a captain and then got a severe beat down from me at least 15 times only to finally die. or so I thought. It was good to see him, bag over his face and all. I know he's mostly skull with a few chunks of meat under there, so I felt good to see him alive and kicking. Infact, I alt-tabbed just to type this out and tell you all how PROUD I am of ol' Grisha the bag-faced, never-dying, puny son of a bitch.

I loving love this game. It can't get enough love.

On the flip side I have one captain that's a super loving pain in the arse to kill and not fun at all. Immune to Combat Finishers (The end of Flurry combos are Combat Finishers), Immune to Stealth, Immune to Ranged, calls followers, vault breaker, regens health and stays back from combat. He's a shield guy too.
Every time I kill him and he returns I just groan and seriously think about just exiting and restarting the game so I don't have to deal with him and hope the game kills him off-screen in a Power Struggle like the game did with Doucherat :argh:

If you want to kill them without decapitating them, explosions and throwing them off ledges are your friends! I tend to find that if I use a combat execution then head comes off, most other deaths head stays on.

Throwing them of ledges is hilarious because they don't even tumble or squirm or anything. Just float down to the ground in a slightly off-skew T-pose.

I haven't played it yet (I only have a PC) and I'm seriously considering playing it first-person only first time through. Is the new view good enough to hold up to that?

You could I guess. Driving is pretty easy to get used to if you've played any arcade racer in bumper/cockpit mode.
Combat is the hardest part. You're still super squishy and with the first person view you have even less awareness of your surroundings. Not to mention that the cover system is even more annoyingly fiddly. Before it would just stick you to the wrong box in the open, now it sticks you to the wrong box and faces you the wrong way in the open.
At the moment control-wise, Freeaim is not good. It's too twitchy/too slow/too fiddly, doesn't seem to be any smoothing or minor gimmies (4 pixels off.... ehh, we'll give you the hit kinda stuff) like an actual console FPS has so if you're off aim by a millimeter, you'll miss, and as you go to re-adjust, you'll tap and zip to the other side of the target. Change the settings and now you spin too slow, etc. But this might not be a problem on PC so :shrug:

(Assisted Aim works fine though and IMO looks better. Your view stays centered on your target as they drop to the ground. Just makes it look better than just standard shooter Stare Infront Of You shooting.)

I hate it when games give you silly outfits and don't show them in cutscenes. Tales games are great about this, though, you can go through the game with all the characters in bathrobes or Power Rangers outfits if you want. Xenosaga games sometimes do this with the unlockable swimsuits, too.

Payday 2 has your safehouse, which has a gigantic bank vault that fills up with your spendable cash the higher it goes, and racks in the armory room that display your recently-used weapons as well as your most worn masks.

In Fallout 3 you can put all the Vault-Tec bobbleheads you collect on a stand in your various homes throughout the wasteland.

Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal has a trophy room where the various collectibles are displayed.

Dying Light sees Crane's apartment at the main safehouse get completely jammed full of poo poo as you do quests (both main and sidequests).

That's all I can think of off the top of my head that hasn't been mentioned but I guarantee there are more.

2 was basically 1.5 and 3 was 3D, you could throw kids into lion/tiger dens and such but you still couldn't do that.

Something I like about GTA 5 is just how much work they put into Michael responding to the player loving with his family as Franklin or Trevor. Pretty much anything you can do to the rest of Michael's family will get a response from him either via a text or a phone call (or he'll just yell at you if you're hanging out). There is the one everyone knows about where you shoot at his home (STOP FIRING ROCKETS AT MY HOUSE!), but he also calls and tells you you're a dick if you steal his daughter's unique car, texts you to stop creeping around if you hang out in his house when he's not there, and so on. It's great and a bit weird because there's really nothing like that for the other two!

When you finish hanging out with any of the characters they just don't disappear into the air so you can keep following them around. They get increasingly weirded out and annoyed until they finally turn around and 1-hit KO you.

Stephen Ogg adlibbed a lot of Trevor apparently. He was just able to come up with better stuff than what was in the script.

If you've seen some of his TV appearances Trevor is right up his alley in terms of characters he usually plays.

Hell he was on Better Call Saul as a character you could see as a bit more stable Mr. Philips.

I'd love to see how edgy Trevor was in the non adlibbed script.

Don't know if it counts as a 'little' thing, per se, but I love villains that have motivations beyond "Ho ho ho I am evil and/or crazy". I just beat Infamous: Second Son yesterday, and the fact that the villain of the game truly believes what's she's doing is right is awesome to me.

For those who don't care about spoilers:
Through this game (and it's pseudo-pre-expansion, First Light), you learn of the Department of Unified Protection (the DUP), and how its leader is locking up all the Conduits with special powers behind walls, doing so in a fairly authoritative manner. It looks like she's simply the 'evil authority figure', especially since you play a wise-cracking smalltown delinquent. But in the climactic finale, you discover the reason she's doing all this is for the Conduits' protection: in the years following the emergence of the Conduits, so many died from lynchings, from fear, and from the military. She, a former member of the military herself, made a choice that the only way to keep them safe was to keep them locked away from those who would seek to kill everyone 'different'. I don't agree with her methods, but her reasons behind them...I sympathized with what she was trying to do, and almost disagreed with what the hero of the game, a Hero of Justice in my playthrough, ended up doing (expose her and dissolve the DUP).

So much better than someone who's all "Mweheheh gonna lock you all up and torture you because EVIL!" *twirls mustache*.

If you do/look into the Paper Trail ARG whatever thing that's built into the game it revels more of what's happening in the background of the game.
DUP was in the process of getting shut down so she set up the escape of the prisoners, the MC just got caught up in the middle of it.
Also that one Conduit that died in her care? It was a set up and now she's out assassinating the people that are trying to shut down the department and frame the prisoners/Delsin and keep Conduits looking dangerous so they keep the DUP around because she knows they'd just shoot all the Conduits in her care.

Kind of similar is the military takeover of the mall near the end of the first Dead Rising.

It's a great inversion of the whole military is useless against the zombies idea, although ends up being bad since they're uh, trying to kill/vanish the survivors anyway.

And then the military gently caress it all up in 2 :eng99:

I've been upgrading my FOB nonstop since I set it up about a week ago and haven't gotten a single invasion. I keep my security at highest readiness at all times and don't interact with any of the invasion stuff, so that probably keeps me real low on whatever lists get populated for invasion targets. I don't really know how invasions work.

I had to invade a couple of FOBs before I started to get invaded myself.

Except for the people who never leave weapon-free zones. I vaguely recall there being a bug you can exploit to kill them, but I've never tested it so I don't know if it works reliably. Anyway, it shouldn't count because it's cheating.

You could kill Billie Adams in the start of Invisible War by giving her a shower:

Apparently it actually killed her dead too. The game would crash when you were meant to meet up with her in other areas.

Fallout 4 really outdid itself compared to past Bethesda games when it comes to the idle animations. I was in a factory earlier and once we cleared the place out Piper leaned on one of the guard rails and looked around, it all looks really neat.

Although I laugh when I see the same drat crafting animation from Skyrim when NPCs use crafting benches.

Some role-playing servers have job restrictions for your age. You have to be over 30 to be in a command role, over 25 or so to be a scientist or engineer, etc.

One time, on a role-playing server that didn't have this, the AI had a custom script in comms to state the age of every arriving character. When it notified the station that the new captain arrived and was a 17 year old girl, everyone joked about how unqualified she was.
