Literally Kermit posted:One more Five Nights at Freddy's 4 little thing: in all the previous games, the animatronics have had four or less digits on their hands; in FNaF4, their nightmare versions have five. This is because the kid you play as had his head forced into "FredBear", which bit down on the kid's head, damaging his frontal lobes and sending him into a nightmare filled coma. Flowers will sometimes appear on the bedside table. Someone feels bad for what happened. Calaveron posted:Ok, let me rephrase. Is there a video of the game with absolutely no other type of human appearing either aurally or in a corner of the screen? Just the game, nothing else. Like a longplay, I guess. What you want is a "walkthrough" not a "Let's Play".

Fun fact about this, during recording they played the song but didn't give any of the voice actors the lyrics so they had to sing along with/go from memory, just like you would when you were driving and a song you know but don't REALLY know comes on the radio.

GrandpaPants posted:I played through Saints Row 3 and this scene happened: To expand on this a little bit, in Saints Row 2 each voice you could set for your character had two songs (though one voice had three) that they would randomly sing along to on the game's 80s station, with one of them always being "Take On Me". There was no way to trigger it, they would only start singing if you were driving along normally and the song came up on the radio from the beginning. You couldn't get the singalong if you switched to the station mid-song and if you hit something with your car or started shooting people or other interruptions happened during the singalong your character would stop singing. In a game where you were spending most of your time in the middle of a horrible violent clash of some kind it was an amazingly nice touch for situations that were fairly rare. I know the first time it happened while I was playing I was amazed and ended up pulling off the road to listen so I wouldn't accidentally make it stop. Pierce has also sung along to a song on the radio during a mission in each game he's been in, though in SR2 the Boss doesn't sing with him the way they do in 3 and 4.

GTA V is pouring with little things. My two favorites that I love is: If you're stationary and listening to the radio you player character will start head boppin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wraiz-J4eiM And If an NPC is impressed with your car they'll take a pic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVU1AZZ9eXA

Sleeveless posted:"Milking" is a bit harsh considering that he actually makes some effort to shake things up each game (2 gets rid of the locked doors and adds the mask and the puppet, 3 only has a single animatronic stalking you and adds the ventilation system, 4 lets your character actually move around and adds the breathing mechanic) and adds an overarching story when he could just as easily carbon copy the first game with different mascots and maps each time and still sell a zillion copies every time just from kids and furries. Wow each installment has incredibly minor mechanical additions that's so amazing.

FNaF 1 and 2 are pretty similar but 3 and 4 genuinely play very differently than the others - most of the mechanics are just different. There are plenty of valid complaints about the series but "they're all the same" is not one of them.

And when your mechanics are really simple to start with, minor changes are the major changes. With 4 especially--I've only watched the YouTube playthroughs but it plays totally differently from the others. Forcing the player to slow down and listen for things like ragged breathing really added to the tension imo and made it a lot more interesting than the previous ones, which felt more like learning patterns and muscle memory/twitch reflexes.

I picked up the first two on Steam sales and the gameplay isn't really my cup of tea, but the storyline is pretty much episodic gaming done right. Some good cliffhangers and mysteries that let you fill in the blanks for a few months before it gave you something more to go on and all that.

You'll have to catch the first bit of the commentary version to see the first cutscene but that's it.

This version that plays during the credits is particularly nice because it features Michael Clarke Duncan. He was supposed to reprise his role from the first game but died before it could be finished. Volition redid his lines with Terry Crews but it's kind of heartwarming having this song with everyone singing and having it end with Michael laughing at how silly it is.

Morpheus posted:Don't know if it counts as a 'little' thing, per se, but I love villains that have motivations beyond "Ho ho ho I am evil and/or crazy". I just beat Infamous: Second Son yesterday, and the fact that the villain of the game truly believes what's she's doing is right is awesome to me. If you do/look into the Paper Trail ARG whatever thing that's built into the game it revels more of what's happening in the background of the game. DUP was in the process of getting shut down so she set up the escape of the prisoners, the MC just got caught up in the middle of it. Also that one Conduit that died in her care? It was a set up and now she's out assassinating the people that are trying to shut down the department and frame the prisoners/Delsin and keep Conduits looking dangerous so they keep the DUP around because she knows they'd just shoot all the Conduits in her care.

There is a fight against 3 trolls in Witcher 3 who talk about one of them eating something bad when you approach them. Throughout the whole fight that one troll farts. He farts a lot. There is a ton of different fart sounds recorded only for that single fight including some nasty long ones and tiny squeaky ones. There are like 10 different farts there. The other trolls also get annoyed as hell at it and ask him to stop even during fighting.

This is actually revealed in the final conversation with her, but it comes bizarrely out of left field - at no point in the game's main plot do you get told this, and there isn't really any way to piece it together. Delsin just straight up accuses her of it, and while it makes sense, there's literally no reason for him to think that's what happened.

I like how there's reactive dialogue in Fallout New Vegas with the lady guarding Helios One in the event you are wearing an NCR disguise AND pick a failed speechcheck, which is something I imagine very few players will ever do.   She commences combat afterwards.

I finally got around to playing Batman: Arkham Asylum. As you stalk the night you can randomly walk up to a ringing phone where a woman will be searching for her husband who is a guard. The Joker will answer pretending to be a receptionist and have a little jokery dialogue. There's really no concrete story reason for you to be in that building at that time or for that conversation to happen. Also the team did a fairly good job of foreshadowing the next two games.

Can a game's soundtrack have little things in it? Because Freedom Planet has multiple variations of the main villain's (Lord Brevon) leitmotif that play at moments throughout the game. They're appropriately dark and ominous in-game, but when you look at what they're actually named...quote:20. mycot has a new favorite as of 05:43 on Jul 31, 2015 |

You hosed over one of the clerks in the intro to the game, causing him to lose a limb and such (the reason he is now a clerk instead of an assassin). That dude is just straight-up spiteful until your very last conversation with him.

The new rank he gets is a very honorable one, at least, but still a desk job...plus the lost limb and dead brother, yeah. It's fun to accept the assignment to go kill your target after doing all the intel, then walk back into the bureau and listen to the scathing abuse he hurls at you for not being done yet.

In Mafia 2 you can use a payphone to get rid of the cops (bribe). There was a random woman using the booth so my character grabbed the phone and said: "She'll call you later!" before making the bribe call.
