Pyre is an incredibly charming game, and the one thing I liked about it was that the barks in the game actually corresponds to an unknown language - I had gotten to the final stage three times before I final realized that 'Nyxsallas' didn't mean 'Victory'.

Can I just say after not having played in years and years, Minecraft RTX is bonkers? These loving rays, man. Playing it 4k on the couch is also beautiful and incredibly peaceful. After a long day, absorbing the sunrises and sunsets, I get ray-casted from my couch and into the drat tv when the music softly kicks in. There's also something about playing it with a controller, which I've never done before, making my FOV glide - it's why if you're recording game footage, the undampened mouse look is distracting compared to controller. It just takes everything up that one tiny level But those rays.... you have to download a resource back for Windows 10 bedrock to use ray tracing, I use one that is essentially vanilla called Defined PBR. Also I don't know how effective Ray tracing is for AMD cards. As far as I know it works because they're using DXR, but it won't be accelerated as much as an rtx card. Regardless, Minecraft RTX is not Minecraft

Watch_Dogs Legion was my favourite one by far, but that might be because I'm a horrible British person. The London in that game was the best London in a game (though I've not played AC Syndicate). The best bit was you could have a gang of hooligan's all decked out in three different clubs, all of which corresponded pretty well colour wise to West Ham, Spurs and Arsenal if I remember correctly

AC Syndicate was a rather forgettable game overall but its depiction of London was inspiringly filthy. It looked like it smelled like the most disgusting city ever created by humans, just raw sewage and smoke everywhere.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:Watch Dogs is weird. The first one had a great idea with terrible implementation and a protagonist that was worse than Connor in ACIII. The second one was great and Legion is not terrible and at least tries interesting stuff even if it doesn't land completely. Plus the story is pretty cool. I wouldn't say AC Revelations or Valhalla are terrible either, but you can immediately sense all three are the work of totally different teams and they don't quite gel with their predecessors.

Strategic Tea posted:no they haven't done a modern day assassin's creed yet They technically/kinda have with the Watch_Dogs games. If you know what you're looking at, you can tell they're clearly on the older AC engine and gameplay mechanics, probably forked off the same version as AC:Syndicate's at a guess. (rather than the newer RPG-esque engine in Origins etc.)

In Pokémon sun and moon you can summon Pokémon helpers to ride or work with in over world traversal situations. You can summon a Machamp to push boulders around and it carries you in two of its arms while using the other two for pushing stuff. It is very funny to watch the PC just flop around leisurely.

I love that they use the custom liveries of real players so sometimes you'll get an INTRICATELY detailed Denver Bronco, or a lambo with POLICE on it, or tribal art and hot rod flames on like your mom's buick, or just someone's favorite anime girl mugging as they corner better than your rear end CJacobs has a new favorite as of 20:21 on Aug 21, 2022 |

There's a weird scene with a woman visiting her husband's grave... while being carried by a Machamp like that. I think she is wearing the ride outfit as well.

Another fun thing in Forza Horizon, there's a drone mode that's nice to use to fly around and look for secrets. However, there's not an actual drone model, it's basically just a free-roaming first person camera to look around with. So it took me a few playthroughs to realize that animals actually react to it and run away like it's an actual drone, now I feel obligated to pester them every time I see any. Sorry, sheep, this is my field now!

LOL I've just discovered people can actually create and upload their own vinyls to Forza Horizon and the variety is truly staggering! We've got ACAB, a pikachu dabbing, ancient memes, fake license places and tow straps, and of course anime girls! That tow strap is made out of like 80 really precise decals. It's kinda unbelievable that they just... let you make anything you want to.

Games that allow people to make icons/art are the best. I still have super fond memories of APB tooling around with my friends in stupid looking cars. On the flip side, I have seen some horrifying things during Phantasy Star Online 2’s concerts.

Spider-Man Remastered Once you hit level 41 you can unlock the cartoon suit and use quips as your ultimate attack. Much better than the overpowered robot drone I've been using for the whole game.

God yeah, APB was basically an absolutely incredible character customization engine attached to a fairly mediocre game. You could even compose the music jingle that played when you scored highest on a mission.

AC Syndicate has Cleopatra's Needle in London even though it shouldn't have arrived there yet. Which would be fine, but the next game has you visiting ancient Alexandria, where it should be but isn't and that bugs the hell out of me for some reason.

I'm giving Final Fantasy 13 another shot after bouncing off it over a decade ago. It's a dumb little thing, but I really like how the background pictures in the menu animate a few frames when you select a character. It's a neat effect.

FFXIII has great music and super interesting art direction. The gameplay problems are what they are, but I felt they overshadowed the really cool parts of the experience. XXIII-2 was haha wtf terrible in every way though. I mean, except you could put hats on monsters, that was cool. Did nobody else play Type-0? That game had wonky gameplay and the English dub is unlistenable but wow what a hosed up and awesome setting/story/ending
