Have you guys played Mercenaries? It's like Just Cause 2, but with More intricate faction dynamics. For instance, if you do a mission for the U.N., China will become displeased with you. South Korea will get pissed if you work with the Russian mob and so forth. Factions also have randomized patrol routes that sometimes intersect with enemies routes, resulting in giant unscripted battles. It was a Lucasarts game so you could unlock Han Solo and Indiana Jones skins for your character. Also, every building in the game can be destroyed, including faction headquarters. grittyreboot has a new favorite as of 13:11 on Jun 10, 2014 |

I love that Jensen hates at least one of his coworkers. In fact, the writers did a good job of making the Sarif employees act like they've known each other for a while.

In the first Halo, there is a cut scene where Sarge is playing generic butt rock. Some marine complains about it and Sarge admonishes him because it's his heritage. I always thought that was funny.

EmmyOk posted:Metal Gear Solid 3 is a prequel game so you see some older characters from the series in their younger years, one of whom you knockout early on in the game. However it's possible to kill him after the cutscene in which case you get a game over and the colonel from the previous games shouting "YOU CREATED A TIME PARADOX, NOOOOOOOOOO". I like to wear the zombie face paint and pretend I'm one of the Misfits.

I've been replaying Mass Effect 2 and I love all the little blurbs for the planets. One of them talks about the legend of an ancient pirate that hid massive amounts of element zero. It says no one had ever actually found any element zero on the planet, and when you scan it there isn't any. But the next planet over is loaded with the stuff.

Okay, before I tear into Mass Effect 3 int the "Dragging this game down" Thread I want to share what I enjoy from it. -It has better RPG elements than 1 and better Action elements than 2. -I like the idea that everyone thinks the Protheans were this infinitely wise race that ruled the galaxy by being the most awesome. Then you meet Javik, who tells you that the protheans were an unbelievably brutal people that enslaved every weaker race. -Motherfucking thresher maw vs. reaper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=916oKSgM0_4

Singularity was fun, if flawed game. In it, you're given the TMD, an experimental device which allows you to age or regress certain items. The cool thing is you can use it to either age an enemy into dust or "regress" them into gross gooey placenta monsters that will attack their former allies. It's one of the few FPSs where the main gimmick is actually a viable and fun way to play the game. Plus, you can find it for about five bucks.

I'm only 2 or 3 hours into Eternal right now. One of the things I love is seeing building sized demons hanging out in the distance amid equally huge wrecked Gundams. No spoilers but I hope I can get into one of those Gundams and gently caress poo poo up.

The combat in Ghost Of Tsushima can be tricky for me, but if I can get in the zone even minor encounters feel like you're watching the coolest, most carefully choreographed action set piece from any samurai film. I really like that they give you a weather changing button. I like to make it rainy or foggy when I'm taking on Mongol camps to make it more dramatic. Then I make it sunny when I'm exploring so I can see those. landscapes in full vibrant color.

There's an early cutscene where Miles treats moving from Brooklyn to Harlem as if he's moving to another state, which is the most New York thing ever written.

ImpAtom posted:Miles Morale is absolutely a smaller game than PS4 Spider-Man but it really helps that Miles is such a genuinely awesome character. The decision to go away from "helping the police" to "has his own app which he uses to help people in need" is a small but inspired choice because it makes Miles genuinely feel more like a people-person and even though he's protecting New York as a whole it helps emphasize that he's a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. The one thing I was really worried about MIles Morales was if it was going to go as hard on the copaganda as in the 2018 game, especially considering who Miles' dad was. I'm really glad they're basically a non-entity this time around. I loved 2018, but it's whole "Our boys in blue" thing was corny when it was released and only came off worse when I replayed it a few weeks ago. Although it was weirdly prescient considering the third act of the game was A city government begins a violent fascist crackdown on innocent protesters while a super lethal virus is destroying the population

Captain Hygiene posted:I'm liking it a lot, but jumping straight in from fast combat games like Odyssey was kind of a mistake. The constant stream of new weapons and armor is gone, and the combat seems much slower and weightier with stuff like dodging and heavy attacks depending on a stamina meter that you fill by doing light attacks or backing off. Not an objectively bad thing, but definitely some mental whiplash if you go in expecting more of the same system. Thanks! I'll remember to play as the lady this time too

As bad as Arkham Knight's batmobile sections are, there's something satisfying about watching it absolutely tear through the scenery. It gives me Red Faction Guerilla vibes.

verbal enema posted:Goddamn ACO being 60$ still Yeah it seems like Ubisoft doesn't mark down their older games; Watch Dogs was the same way. It doesn't make sense to me. Plenty of people wait for the price to drop. If it was $20- as it should be at this point- you'd probably have 100 people buying it for every one who is still willing to pay $60. Either way, you're better off ordering a used physical copy online.

Rockstar lost me with RDR2. Feeding/cleaning your horse, bathing yourself, cutting your hair, etc all felt like chores. This may be a hot take, but I felt the little details were a cynical way to increase word of mouth advertising rather than anything that enhances your gameplay experience. Like no one in their right mind would notice if your horses balls shrink in cold weather, but it feels like a wacky detail to add to a "10 Insane Details You Missed In RDR2" YouTube video. Anyways I'm playing FF7 Remake and I came across this cutscene: https://youtu.be/u31uURkbpdY

What's weird about that? That's what things are like for me.

I had no idea so many people loved ME3's multiplayer. I thought it was a needless chore. In the spirit of unpopular Mass Effect opinons, lemme give you one more: I like the Mako from ME1. It should've been included in 2 and 3.

Cleretic posted:In Mass Effect 2 you get access to a weapon type by just finding it in the Collector ship, so maybe it's an Alliance standards thing. You're only allowed to be good at certain weapons depending on your class, so Shepard pretends to be bad with everything else until a certain point in ME2 when they're pretty sure nobody's enforcing that anymore. Hey sometimes you just don't tell people you can do (x) because if you do it once your boss starts to think of you as the designated (x) guy.

So I just saw a TikTok of how different God Of War 4 Kratos' design is from GOW1-3. I just realized that 4's Kratos actually looks like an ethnically Greek person. Original trilogy Kratos looks kinda creepy in retrospect because he looks more like the Aryan ideal crossed with a gym rat who listens to too much Staind/ Puddle Of Mudd. I guess this goes in the positive thread for finally showing some level of diversity.

So I just beat Ghost Of Tsushima a second time. I feel like there was a quest that ends in a cave behind a waterfall where you have to duel a guy and you get a special move. I remember the waterfall was behind a town or temple? The thing is I can't find it this time around. Does anyone else remember this? Did I just dream it?
