Internet Wizard posted:Dragon Age: Origins had blood splatter that would persist into cutscenes as well. There's an Octocamo mask in MGS4 that leaves you looking like Snake has put a bag over his head. Makes the lengthy cutscenes a bit silly.

Am working through my Steam library and got round to playing Mysteries of the Sith, the 1998 expansion for Jedi Knight. It's a pretty drat ugly game with some really dated modelling, but at least you can zip around the levels at ridiculous speeds. But the final boss is pretty cool. You cannot beat your dark side-crazed former master with violence - nothing you try even scratches him. The only solution is to stand still, turn off your lightsaber and let him attack you. Felt pretty zen."

I've been learning Italian recently, and I just realised that Don Corneo from FFVII translates as 'Don Horny'. I really hope this whole sequence is left untouched in the remake. Necrothatcher has a new favorite as of 11:04 on Jun 27, 2015 |

I've been playing through Knights of the Old Republic again and daaaamn I'd forgotten how cunty you can be if you're evil. On finding a man trapped between exploding droids in the desert: quote:- No I won't help you. In fact I'm going to stand here sipping ice water as I watch you die of thirst. After putting up with your elderly rambling Jedi party member's anecdotes: quote:- I hate you old man. On watching your wholesome Jedi buddy Bastila being tortured, in the hope you'll crack. quote:- Go ahead, torture her. I don't really like her anyway. On being criticised after returning from a mission to peacefully resolve a tense situation, having murdered everyone. quote:- I kill who I want, when I want! And then there's the little choices like helping enslave a planetful of wookies, assassinating rape victims, making people poo poo themselves, mercilessly exterminating sandpeople, poisoning the galaxy's supply of medicine... And then there's Zaalbar and Mission's fate....   This is so much better than Mass Effect's vaguely jerky renegade choices. I wish more games let you be a dick to this degree.

Avenging_Mikon posted:Doesn't the guy in the desert purposefully move to trigger the explosions as a "gently caress you" if you do that? Yes. At first he assumes you're joking as no-one could be that diabolical. When you assure him that you indeed are that evil, he suicides and tries to take you with him. I also love that after being a monumental dickhead all over the starting planet, you can turn up at the Jedi Enclave with deathly grey skin, lizardy eyes and tendrils of darkness creeping around your face. Then, after being moustache-twirlingly evil and bloodthirsty in front of the stuffy Councillors they decide that you're the perfect candidate for Jedi training and give you a lightsaber (in which you can promptly swap out the boring blue crystal for a demonic red one). What could possibly go wrong!?

El Cid posted:That's still probably my favorite evil path for any game. A lot of is still just generic evil PC character stuff where you're essentially just a thug demanding more credits after you complete mission, but then you get things like the Mission/Zaalbar scene. I love the PC reacting to the big twist with a "huh, that makes sense..." Five minutes later you're cackling, chucking lightning bolts everywhere and yelling "the dark lord is reborn!" It's especially great if you head to the Sith planet after the reveal, because you can throw your name about and behave like even more of a dick than usual.

They should really port these classic RPGs to iOS/Android. Only got half an hour into Planescape on PC before losing interest, but i reckon it'd be much more palatable if i could dip in and out wherever I am.

Guy Mann posted:Capcom made a PS2 game that was a sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas, it was mostly a kind of mediocre kid-friendly Devil May Cry knockoff (complete with having Santa Jack as a Devil Trigger) but one kind of interesting thing it did was have the boss battles be actual musical numbers like the movie where you collect music notes by attacking the boss and then do a rhythm game where you sing and dance to actually damage them. I can't believe I've never heard of this game.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:I really liked this because a side-effect was it made the AI less predictable and prone to shooting in panic at dark corners where you might in fact be hiding. It gave you a really good feeling of tension between "this guy's helpless and making GBS threads himself, I can finish him off easily" and "he's making GBS threads himself and firing wildly, if I swoop in at the wrong time he might hit me". Not that it happened often, but the fact that it could was cool Far better to silently walk behind just them for about ten seconds, then when the turn around spin around they proceed to piss themselves. Asylum best Arkham game.

I'm playing through Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the first time in a while, and I love that when you get to the secret Illuminati media manipulation base there's emails complaining about the amount of money spent on ominous sculptures. "Do we really need that stone hand squeezing the globe right in the lobby? We're not Bond villains! At least I know where my bonus money went this year..."

I played Headhunter on the Dreamcast - I think it might have been one of the last games released on it. Remember it being bizarrely ambitious - having an open world for no apparent reason and kind of a Metal Gear gameplay vibe. I do remember its bonkers plot quite well though.

The Dreadful Crimes missions in Assassin's Creed Syndicate are absolutely amazing. You play detective and solve murders, piecing together motives and method from the evidence you sniff out in the crime scenes. You can accuse the wrong people too, so it's always tense when you think you've got it worked out. They seem better written and designed than the rest of the game too. It's a bit silly that they were relegated to PS4 exclusive DLC. The second one, where you gradually deduce that you're looking at a Jekyll and Hyde situation is

Gunstar Heroes just sucker punched me. When beat one of the bosses you get a gem. When you beat Black (the seedy looking boss), he tosses his gem to you, but it turns out to be a bomb in disguise. It killed me and I had to do his fight again. I'd be pissed off if the game weren't so fun.

The giant monster gorillas in Metro 2033 are awesome. If you attack them (which you instinctively will because every other mutant in the game is hellbent on murder) they're gigantic angry bullet sponges that can kill you in a couple of hits. But if you just stare right in their eyes, stand your ground and don't turn your back, they'll walk away and leave you unharmed.

I love how unashamedly goofy The Saboteur is. PC Sean Devlin is a foul-mouthed one man murder machine who can soak up gunfire and regenerate his health almost instantly. He could probably win the war single-handedly if he set his mind to it. It makes the stealth mechanics all but redundant, as the quickest and most fun way to do missions is to drive a car at full speed into the Nazis, burst out and run around machine-gunning the bastards while Sean shouts "BOLLOCKS" repeatedly.

I love that in HITMAN, dead bodies eventually get dragged away in body bags. I poisoned a guy in the Bangkok hotel level and was hanging out in the kitchen disguised as a chef trying to work out how to get my next target, when a grumbling security guy drags a body bag through the kitchen.
