Okami has a bark button. I forget if it does anything more than frighten wildlife. But it was fun to run up to NPCs and bark at them :regd09:

Also if you froze NPCs they turned into snowmen briefly. Okami is such a cute game :3:

Drawing a circle around friendly NPCs makes them give Amaterasu a hug :3:

In Bayonetta, the worlds are seperated into layers. There's the human world, Paradiso, and Inferno. Between the human world and the other two is Purgatorio - an inbetween state where Bayonetta fights enemies. In Purgatorio, all the human NPCs are transparent figures who have no idea what's going on. Similarly, angels (the game's bad guys) cannot be seen in the human world. Even Bayonetta must do some fancy witch magic to traverse these layers.

You know what doesn't have to?

Cats.

Cats just wander round being ever-present in all worlds and not giving a single gently caress. Total cat behaviour. They know what's going on and they do not care.

My favourite thing in Overwatch happened this afternoon. Playing as Widowmaker (the trad sniper character), I managed to shoot Tracer (zippy character who's schtick is that she bamfs from place to place and is generally hard to hit) as she tarted to blink. Totally unintentional, but it led to her corpse flying towards me at super speed. God it was satisfying.

I shared the video, but I don't know how to link straight to it, so here's a tweet with the video in: https://twitter.com/brainmage/status/745953060732665857

I would pay good money for a game where everyone reacted to your lack of pants, but the story progressed generally as normal. Like, they're not screaming and running away, but the enemies in cutscenes would just look at you like "what the gently caress, dude" before continuing on.

Breath of the Wild does this if you strip Link down to his boxers. Lots of characters have unique dialogue when you chat to them swinging free as a Hylian can.

Not like goat simulator at all to be honest. More Metal Gear Solid, if Snake was an arsehole who stole people's sandwiches and dropped them in a pond [I]for no reason[/].

Two more little things: the plinky-plonk piano soundtrack is PERFECT and v silent movie, and the noise of the honk varies depending on what's in the horrible goose's beak.

I never had an N64. My first exposure to Ocarina of Time was on the 3DS. I've tried hard to get into Majora's Mask, but I keep bouncing off it/feeling weirdly directionless. If anyone has any advice I'd fukken love that.

Another Doom Eternal touch that I like is the animation of the doors in the Slayer's sanctuary.

They're mechanised doors that, when they start to open, make the non-door spaces look like furious, glowering eyes. As the doors open fully, those "eyes" look like they widen in shock/horror of having the slayer in front of them.

I have described that really badly, but hopefully I got the point across. Failing that I'll try and capture footage of it later.

I unearthed my Wii U so I could softmod it as a pandemic hobby and one of the unexpected boons was being able to play Shovel Knight again. I bought the Wii U version and am too stubborn to buy it again on something I regularly use, but I was able to update it to get all the free dlc before setting it up for GameCube play.

On topic, I’ve been playing a little Legend of Grimrock 2 and I love the map design. Instead of a dungeon that goes down 13 or so floors, the sequel takes place on an island and each, idk, 40x40 tile plot is its own “level”. The plots are connected at the edges and they have a much more varied array of tile sets to keep things fresh. Since they are all on the same altitude they are all shown on the map at one, creating a very pleasing and expanding map of where I’ve explored.

Ahh man I've bought shovel knight on at least four different platforms. Go on. Treat yourself.

and it should be pointed out that having a levelled up grip gauge is totally useless gameplay-wise as there are no scenarios where it's useful

I'm fairly sure that there are some dog tags you can only get with a fully leveled grip. Whether or not that counts as useful is up to you.

This is legit what I did with the Shadow of the Colossus remaster. It had been years since I played the original. Fired it up. Rode around on Agros for a bit.

Then saw the first colossus and just couldn't do it.

A cat thing in games I like is that, in Bayonetta, you can travel between plains of existence that sit atop each other sharing the same space. When you're in Paradiso (the angel world) angels are solid and humans are spectres. In Purgatorio (the human world), the opposite applies.

In both worlds, cats are solid. Just like in real life, cats transcend the boundaries of reality.

I like to think that this explains when cats stare at nothing for ages before sprinting about the place. They're just chasing off the bad angels :3:

On that note, I'm so pleased I actually played through to the final (D?) ending of NieR rather than just watching it on YouTube.

There was something genuinely surprisingly moving about watching *my* progress vanish from the menus, culminating with my save file being deleted that just wouldn't have come across from watching it on someone else's playthrough

Dang I hope there's DLC to let me play as Grumpy Dad NieR in the remake
