The video game XIII is based on a comic. When you get a headshot in the game a three panel comic comes up and shows it happening.

It also has some onomatopoeia show up next to your guns when they shoot.

I didn't mind the gunplay. It would've been nice if all of it was avoidable if you were a good runner, but I like that different guns slowed you down. And I laughed like a maniac when I got the machine gun at the end of the mall escape.

Ok I am really, really easily pissed off at games where you die a lot but at this point I feel like I need to try a dark souls game. Which one should I play first?

Play ds1 first. Good slow weighty combat. As the other guy said the quality of life stuff makes it hard to go backwards. Two and three really pick up the pace of combat.

I just started playing AssCreed Syndicate and I appreciate that it completely forgoes the idea I would ever want to parkour and just straight-up gives me a Batman combination grappling gun + line launcher.

Also I get to hang out in my steampunk locomotive base of operations just like cinema hero Jim West, desperado, rough rider.

Is that the london one? The london one was actually good, right? They release too many now and I've completely lost track since they stopped using numbers.

Yeah. I haven't played most of the others, but it's kinda ...Saint's Row 2-y? Like the city is controlled by a gang and as you do activities in each area you take them back over with your own gang that you see on the street and can recruit to ride with you and shoot stuff, and you can carjack horse n' buggies and stuff. That said the core gameplay is still sneaking and assassinating dudes and attack/dodge combat and a million collectibles so if that sounds like what you're looking for check it out.

You've made this sound fantastic.

Oh my god I just managed the 64th story mission in American Wasteland (Manual between the 24 cones in one combo) and that was super hard, even with the 7 manual points I now have. I'm glad it's balancing me out by it's fairly chill "Do all the graffiti in all the areas and combine the styles" mission. That's pretty good pacing, I need to wind down with mild platforming.

It's probably been 8 or 9 years since I've played it, and I barely remember anything I did in it except one. There was this one boss, who looking it up I guess must've been Olga of the Eastern European gang, would just hang out in a cave with a bunch of dudes who would wreck you once you stepped foot in there. It felt like I tried dozens of times to get to her, but failure after failure lead me to just jacking an 18 wheeler, rammed it right in there, and just ran her over as much as I could before the truck exploded.

There was definitely one like that in crackdown 2. you had to go into a cave overlooking a mine and everyone had rocket launchers.

I've been working through My Brother, My Brother and Me while playing through Super Robot Wars V.

Speaking of Super Robot Wars V, it's crazy how this game improves the storylines of pretty much every series involved in it. It's like the common theme of this game was "robot cartoons with poo poo endings" and then they decided to just re-write all the endings in ways that didn't suck.

But why don't we shoot the gundams into the sun?

AP is an IP that would have suited Telltale perfectly, funnily enough. The weakest part of AP was the actual gameplay side of things - strip that out, focus entirely on relationships and your methods during a mission, pow.

It's a short window which requires both a specific spot and weapon, but it's also possible to snipe him some ways before his boss fight which skips the whole thing later on. You're likely to get a wheelchair wheel in the face though.

Also this video is from 11 years ago which is a weird thing to think about.

I really liked how over the course of the game you and your squad's combat barks gradually evolve from a clipped, professional "tango down" to a hoarse, screaming "GOTCHA MOTHERFUCKER".

The executions change as well, and become more violent as walker begins to break down.

Yeah, it's pretty great how that mentality even extends to Walker himself. At the beginning, you're given a very clear and delineated objective: Get in, get a general overview whether any survivors are left, and then get out to report back so a proper relief effort can be made if necessary.

Except then you run into trouble, and Walker immediately snaps into the videogame-protagonist mentality, as he figures it's now up to them to resolve the situation. And in a regular game (or movie, for that matter), he'd be right: There it all boils down to just one hardened hero protagonist to go through and resolve the whole thing through grit and determination. But Spec Ops doesn't play by those rules, and instead the actually "realistic" thing happens when you throw in a group of heavily armed aggressors into a desperate and delicate situation: Everything gets even worse. It was quite the experience to look back at the end and realise that everything Walker and co did just worsened the situation. Just about nothing they did actually helped anyone at all. So much death and destruction could have been avoided if Walker had just done his drat job and hosed back off once his mission was done, but that wouldn't have been "heroic".

Pretty sure Lugo calls him out on that later in the game, something about just a recon mission. After the water incident he gets called on it as well, saying people have died because he tried to intervene

The most important thing to know is to specialize in the Pistol skill, the game's not a great shooter regardless but pistols at least give you a chainshot ability that lets you effctively skip boss fights by emptying a dozen hollowpoint rounds into a dude as time stands still.

Also levelling up your Sabotage skill until you get the Interference ability which lets you skip hacking minigames by sacrificing an EMP grenade. Totally worth it, especially if playing with m+kb.

Everyone says do the chainshot pistol thing. I quite enjoyed just building a character around assault rifles and occasional shotgun.

Build a character you enjoy for the first time through. You're a rookie, you don't know any better anyway.

rear end creed syndicate has good and bad things, and some standard rear end creed stuff, but I like that my gang becomes a bunch of murder machines sweeping Templar hunts and factories out while i chill to swoop in and claim the glory.

Edit: the murder the doctor mission was pretty cool too, with them trying to find other ways to make it happen other than just rockup and stab the dude. They straight stole the hitman mission by having you play a corpse though

Link's Awakening is my favorite Zelda game, and maybe a big part of that is that every item in the game seems to have multiple uses and there are often multiple solutions to obstacles. Sure, you could set bombs at just the right time to kill a wizzrobe, but if you fire an arrow and plant a bomb at the same time you end up creating an exploding arrow then you can just explode those fuckers like you're goddamn Rambo. If you toss the boomering and grab the flying rooster (what a strange phrase without context) the boomerang will fly below you obliterating everything in its path. Instead of hitting the soft back end of the guys with cubone helmets in front, just use the hookshot to remover their armor. Hell, as soon as I get the roc's feather, the shield goes straight to my inventory and I dodge-tank everything in the game like a boss. drat, I love that game.

Conversely, I was very disappointed when I got the whip in Skyward Sword. It was useful for one thing: swinging from predetermined swingy-poles. I kept trying to disarm Moblin's like I was Indiana Jones, but no dice. I guess I like games that let me play around with the skill set in creative ways. Thankfully, there are a good amount of games out there that scratch that itch.

I can't find anything by googling on the internet, but I remember killing the first phase of the final boss by whipping out a mushroom. That's probably my favourite random thing in link's awakening.

Their previous game, UnEpic, was a horrifically unfunny piece of poo poo but one of the few actual good jokes was a similar meta goof where you fight an enemy with mind control powers and he keeps using them to turn the game against you and make you start over. The ultimate middle finger to the player is that if you do manage to finally beat him then if you have a teleport item in your inventory he makes you use it to leave so you have to fight him all over sgsin.

I bought unepic after someone said it was good. Everything was so drat small I couldn't see my inventory or read any of the text in the game.

I posted it here.

Although to add to it, it is interesting how each side (The Main 5 and Nene) both take their own worlds for granted, and recognise the usefulness/worth of the other. Nene takes for granted that when he restored his version of the world he will rule it, never considering the fact that restoring his world will give everyone magic and make everyone capable of challenging him, he never considers that other people may turn out better than him at magic (admittedly it is unlikely, but it does happen - he get taken out because 5 children turn out to be stronger than he is even powered up by a magic engine). However he sees the people on the surface, notices that they are strong, and tasks them will fulfilling his plans. He considers the surface world to be the means that will lead him to the end - the restoration of what he knew before.

The main characters are the same way - they assume that their version of the world is the default, the way that things should be, and that Nene is some kind of intruder. However the opposite is true - the planet is a giant magic engine that has been falling into disrepair for centuries without the ancients to keep it running.
However, Nene's world is useful as hell to them, from Maromaro's drill to the medicine, to the Mechat airship they are always finding something valuable, whether out of usefulness like the tools, or just because they're cool people to hang with, like the robots.

The primary difference is how they enforce things - Nene dies because he tries to destroy a new world that has value in return for a long dead civilization of which he is the sole surviving member - Shu and friends succeed because when the world that is new to them is revealed, they embrace it. They don't understand it, but they don't cling to nostalgia and try to rebuild their old civilizations - The Devee village is melted by heavy rain, Talta is wrecked by countless landsharks, Devour village is infested with man-eating mobile trees and the capital city is literally sawed in two with the rest of the world, there is no rebuilding any of that poo poo - as soon as the danger is past and Nene is dead, they move right in, and take advantage of tools that are new and exciting to most of them, but old hat by that point to Shu and friends. They accept that Nene's world is the new norm and find a new peace, the way Nene could have if he'd just let of his obsession with his past and found something new to do on the surface.

I won't read your spoiler, buy drat i wish I could play that game. Never got around to it after playing lost odyssey
