Alhazred posted:The way you save your game in Ico: Ico was such a pretty game. Wish I could have finished but y'know. Discs. Also, Ico is pretty much a game that is purely an escort mission - that you don't hate. Usually escort missions are pretty bad in most games for one reason or another but I really don't remember getting to frustrated at all with this one. I did get really uneasy every-time Yorda got kidnapped though in the same way I get uneasy every time I had to watch over a little sister in Bioshock. It plays with your older sibling instincts.

Sir Shion posted:Storyline spoilers for Bravely Default: Where the Fairy Flies here Really? That didn't happen to me until I killed her in the false ending. Still, despite really despising the way they went for the second half (aside from cut-scenes - girl power  )They really did manage to get you to utterly hate Airy every time she supposedly hosed up. Also, I like how the final bosses actually have an elemental/family weakness. Most RPGs I've played will have a final boss with no weakness/resistances so its a nice change of pace. Also, as a bit of a heads up - I hope you got a Spirit Master on hand.

I may or may not have said this before, but Wario: Master of Disguise may not be the funnest game - it does have some really bat poo poo stuff going on from a Fish robot you need to defeat by pooping into a toilet, to buff rear end Dolphins that attack by firing beams of energy from their abs, to German Shepherds that get up on their hind legs and start throwing punches. Also, the final boss is pretty much making fun of their Peach Mood-swings game. And the music is awesome.

Anatharon posted:Isn't that kinda spoilery? Which one? Frankly I wish they could have done something to make awakening the crystals less tedious. I also really like the Super secret final boss. I seriously didn't know he existed. You can find him in the extra dungeon past a wall you can now walk through. It's the Save Guy and his Fox and they're actually pretty tough but unlike the village bosses, can still be beaten without abusing Stillness which is nice. You can also re-fight them whenever you want but you get jack poo poo from them so there isn't really a point and its a pain in the rear end to get there.

Speaking of soundtracks - Sonic '06 had a pretty great soundtrack (in general Sega fashion) and it was nice to see that some of the tunes showed up in Generations. Hell, the soundtrack pretty much got me to complete '06. Honestly feel bad for those soundtrack guys though, they're pretty much the only people that put any effort into that game. Also, the soundtrack in Oblivion was inspired by a near death experience car accident the composer went through. It's been kind of hard to switch out the tunes in the music folder after learning that.

StandardVC10 posted:Persona 3 FES: If your teammates get critical hits sometimes they'll compliment or encourage each other. This is pretty generic for the most part but you do have a party member who is a dog, so it's possible to hear "Good boy! You deserve a treat!" There's a similar line in FFXIII-2, Serah or Noel will say it to your monster party member, who can also be Sazh.

Bioshock 1 + 2 has some a ton of enemy reactions and just general chit-chat when they're walking around. They range from completely messed up to genuinely sad. The Swarm reactions are the best one though. Bees for everyone!

Inspector Gesicht posted:In the first town in Shovel Knight you can meet a talking frog called Croaker. You get an achievement if you listen to all his puns. In the ending when the tower collapses, he's still doing that while everyone cheers, presuambly because Croaker is next to him making puns. Shovel Knight is a good game, because unlike the games its trying to emulate such as old mega-man games, you have infinite lives. You can mess up without fear of having to restart an entire level and at the same time the money penalty makes you not want to take things lightly.

Morpheus posted:Super Mario 3D World's introduction of a crown was amazing. It was just a lovely little crown that the winner of the previous level wears (earned by having the most points), and it's worth a few thousand points at the end of the current level. Plessie, from the same game, is pretty much controlled Jäger style. All players have control of it at the same time. It's actually pretty funny, and it feels great to finally get that one loving Green star.

In Nier, there's a mission in Emil's mansion of a friendly shade in the study. The shade in question - is completely harmless, it can't fight, and all it does is run. So, you'll let your partners do the deed so you won't feel bad right? Wrong. He's got a shield that only magic can break - Kanie will continually slash him in vain, and Emil - will not do anything at all. You have to break the shield. Which will cause it to run, meaning you then have to chase it around. The thing also has insanely high health, having more than what seems like the desert boss and factory boss combined. So not only are you breaking the shield, but you are hitting it for what feels like forever. Something completely harmless. It actually hit me harder than most of the story shades who while, sympathetic, don't think twice about trying to kill you and are assholes.

I like the circle-jerking that goes on Xenoblade. If you fight a high-level enemy, you'll constantly miss most of the time. Missing occasionally triggers a small qte where you sort of tell the person you'll do better next time. I had a fight go on for two in-game days and it was nothing but compliments and screaming.

Mokinokaro posted:I thought at first you were talking about Xenoblade fans sarcastically. Xenoblade fans are getting as bad as Dark Souls ones. Are they? Really haven't seen much people talk about Xenoblade before. It's a pretty good game - especially for the Wii of all consoles, but I really don't see what there is to get obsessed over. It's the most JRPG game ever.

Mokinokaro posted:Well, I brought up the fact that the game is heavily padded with fairly dull fetch and "collect bear rear end" quests in one of those threads and got dogpiled on about how they're optional (when, no, you need to do at least a certain percentage of them to really proceed in the game otherwise you'll be broke and underlevelled.) Xenoblade fans are just as bad about any criticism of their darling as Dark Souls fans when both games have their flaws. That's true. Quests are pretty much the worse thing. Leveling in this game is also super loving important too and you will most likely lose if your not grinding since there aren't really to many decent exploits for you to use aside from night-vision gems. Quest wise though, the game is nice enough to tell you which ones you can permanently miss and in general will ignore any form of realism to make the most basic quests bearable by having the reward magically come to you once you collect/kill monster or whatever. I managed to finish all those missable quests now (or at least the ones I've found) and its a lot better now that I can just go about at my own leisure and complete them when I feel like it.

Greatbacon posted:I think it also works on non-reds on fire and non-whites that got gassed. Non-yellows just turn into crispy critters though Whistling cures burns, shock, mild-drowning, poison in 3. It doesn't cure being chewed up or eaten or stabbed though no matter how much I whistle at them. Then the sad little ghosts pop up.  There was so many ghosts during the swamp monster fight. Occasionally, Charlie will dedicate a journal entry to the Pikmin lost in battle if you suffer heavy losses.

Online Smash Bros. 4 has a non-competitive setting. That means it doesn't record wins, or losses meaning people won't shut their game off on you and you won't constantly be fighting super competitive people *cough* *cough* X and Y. Also, playing as Duck Hunt and using his laugh taunt online is really satisfying. Heck, his laugh taunt is just pretty satisfying in general.

I really don't know why I keep playing Hyrule Warriors. It is literally the most repetitive (sometimes outright obnoxious) game I have ever played - but I cannot stop playing it. Despite how repetitive it is though, it does have some pretty neat nods and other stuff. Bow-Wow is my favorite weapon. Unlike Link's other weapons, he's actually animated and during his (A) move - he'll chomp into the ground as you flip the world. Links Great Fairy weapon is also pretty great.

Smelly posted:That sounds like so much fun but I've heard terrible things about W_D. That's pretty much what happens when games give you some kind of record win/lose thing. In Pokemon Y, people would shut off their game on you if you were winning - X and Y doesn't count losses, but it counts matches so it looks like you lost the match when your record comes up and you don't get the win. It seemed really spiteful after awhile so I just quit - will probably give online in Omega Ruby or Sapphire in the future. Smash bro isn't as bad with the "fun" mode, sure you'll usually get one or two Ike's but you can gently caress around without being branded or anything.

Inzombiac posted:I picked up Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon at release and only play in small spurts because the game is fun as hell and dripping with character. While I was worried when I heard about the "mission set-up", the game still turned out to be one of my favorites. I really loved the sort of "cartoony slap-stick" feel going on and while the game didn't have portrait ghosts, the standard goof balls really grew on me with their antics. Catching Boo's never gets old.

The Twilight princess pack for Hyrule warriors came out yesterday one of my favorite things about it is that the adventure map is a recreation of Hyrule field from the game and all the items you use to open rewards and junk are the items of the game, and the theme music is a 8-bit remix of the Hyrule field theme from the game. Don't know if its nostalgia but it made me smile a bit seeing that. Also Twili-Midna is a beast.

In FFV, they tried to use a phoenix down and various healing spells on a dead character. In a cutscene. Didn't work, but I think this is the only time in a FF game where they actually tried to revive someone like that.

I actually just finished the solo version today. I'd have to agree with you on the music. It's really nice to have a jrpg with multiple battle themes for normal battles. Makes it seem a lot less tedious. Just wish the game cut out the "you have to choose every option to go on" and "watch the same scene a hundred times" bullshit. That stuffs for another thread though.
