The thing I like about that is that they will lie/mislead you with them. Like they'll pop up in conversations with a person who will be dead by the end of the conversation.

While the game has a bunch of problems, one thing Assassin's Creed Unity does really well is hair. Especially Elise (the female lead) her hair looks like real person hair and not a weird helmet thing.

On the criminal side of Hardline there are also alternate sound clips that play when you do stuff. Usually involving swearing.

In Dying Light there's a side mission where you have to rescue a woman from some weird creep keeping her locked up in his basement. One of the things you can find in the basement is a bottle of lotion in a basket.

The new Playstation game Helldivers has a lot of Starship Troopers references. Like when you rank up to Sergeant you get a trophy "You're it until you're dead or I find someone better"

grittyreboot posted: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. Apparently the regression thing was supposed to be even grosser originally but they got too many complaints and had to tone it down.

I've been replaying the last Tomb Raider game and one thing I like is the enemies are pretty talky. They'll call out stuff to each other and just generally react to what you're doing. This is most evident in the part when you get the grenade launcher and they just freak the gently caress out.

In The Witcher 3 the flavor text is written by Dandelion, a bard friend of Geralt's. So you get a lot of commentary on standard RPG tropes where he makes fun of Geralt doing random poo poo for people and looting corpses.

A nice quality of life thing that The Witcher 3 does is when you're told to follow someone most of the time they'll adjust their walk speed to yours. So if you start running/sprinting they'll go fast too.

princecoo posted:When you leave the area then come back, the bodies are all gone. I figure there is a market for unconcious bad guy removal services that just contracts out to the city. Hell, if Bruce Wayne is as smart as he's supposed to be, he'd have started the company himself as an offshoot of Wayne Enterprises. The ones that have not had their arms broken and their knees crushed are given an icepack, an assortment of drugs and sent home. In Arkham Knight the very first guy you beat up in the game is later locked up at the police station with his arm in a cast.

If you leave the Batmobile alone long enough sometimes a random guy will just start loving with it. You're then given a button prompt that electrifies the Batmobile and sends the thug flying.

ImpAtom posted:One of the great things about Arkham Knight is the GPD in general. I had a really cool moment when I walked in and one of the cops standing around was highlighted Riddler informant green. So I interrogate him while the cops nearby start freaking out and pull their guns on Batman. The cop eventually admits it and Batman throws him into a cell. He goes "You can't do this to me, I'm a cop." to which Batman replies "Not anymore."

WeaponGradeSadness posted:Yeah, although the bit at the end was pretty well-done, for the most part I thought the game portrayed the DUP as pure evil, which is really strange considering that they're an anti-Conduit law enforcement branch created in response to thousands of people being murdered by a Conduit. It would have been really easy to make them sympathetic villains with that background but until the very end they're treated like mustache-twirling Nazis. Yeah, considering where the world was at after Infamous 2 its not that hard to believe there would be massive Anti-Conduit sentiment in the population. In the first game an entire major East coast city is almost completely destroyed with thousands of people dying because of the Ray Sphere and just general Conduit activities. Then in 2 the Beast completely destroys that and most other major cities on the East coast down to fake New Orleans. Which is then followed by the Good ending where Cole kills off a major percentage of the world's active and potential Conduits and since that's the whole world that has to be in the millions of people.

In MGSV they made sure to let you know that you aren't just leaving D-Horse out there whenever you leave the mission area. If the camera is pointed at him when the helicopter flies away you can see a Fulton balloon go off and he takes off into the sky.

Inco posted:Is there a lot of farming necessary in the game? I don't want to spend a bunch of time playing the same handful of missions over and over because I'm broke as hell. Early on there's a bit of scrounging for resources but fairly early in the story they start giving you ways to automate a lot of processes. Once you unlock the combat team they can be assigned missions to collect resources and guys. You also have an automated processing platform that gets you materials for building/upgrading without having to collect stuff yourself.

They're doing Cap 3 and the next Avengers movie so safe to say it will be back to that. JPrime posted:This thread is making me want to get MGS5. If I've literally never played any of them before (I might have played the original Metal Gear on the NES way back when), will I be lost? Ground Zeroes would probably be a good starting point since it has a ton of the backstory baked in and it is made on the same engine so it plays the same, unlike the earlier ones which are kind of all over the place.
