In that same room, opposite the sign is the edge of the screen. You can actually exploit the mechanics of the flower items to build a bridge that leads off of the screen in that direction, since the flowers stop moving and form the bridge because the edge of the screen counts as a wall. However, the developer planned for this, and you can actually walk off of the screen to go to a special hidden area there where you can pick up a unique item that fully heals you (it's a delicious quiche).

I only caught this on my second playthrough, but in MGS5 Ocelot casually means that he is (or was) in love with Big Boss. Like, really casually. There's no dramatic reaction or eyebrows going up in response, he just mentions it off-handedly but it's still an important point he's making (comparing it to how another character is falling in love with BB's legend rather than the reality). I've known Ocelot was gay from reading on the wiki about him but I like how he was so laid back about mentioning it.

I don't know if they meant it in the romantic sense but it's not out of the realm of possibility because a man who does this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y897tozJeg8 cannot possibly be all that straight.

Ok so Mother 3 ends with proper musical-style curtain call, with a "cast" roll and medley of important (or at least character-relevant) musical themes. The part of the medley for the Mr. Saturns is amazing because like everything else about them their music is incredibly goofy, but in the music for the curtain call it misleads the listener for a second into thinking it's the militaristic pigmask theme and continues with a dramatic, bombastic rendition of such a silly song.  I'd link but I'm phone posting.

Witcher 3 There's a murder mystery quest and Geralt gets caught up in the affairs. When you out the killer, their punishment is to be strapped to the rocks by the shore and be devoured by the monsters there like Andromeda. A dozen hours later and I'm by the shores of the isles and find the killer's character model strapped lifelessly to one of the rocks. Nice bit of detail to what could have just been flavor text.

I think it depends on who you partner with during the investigation. Also there's two guards paraphrasing an exchange from Pulp Fiction and I thought it was just a random out - there Easter Egg but it also doubles as foreshadowing for a major character.

So, this thread hasn't nearly talked about Undertale enough, so let me mention one of my, rather spoiler free, favorite things about the game. The game is built around combat where killing itself is completely optional. You can, and you're encouraged to, go through the entire game without killing a single enemy or boss. And every single encounter has enemy-unique ways of dealing with each monster, to dissuade them from fighting, and in my opinion is so much more interesting than other games like Deus Ex or Metal Gear where being non-lethal is just "shoot them with THIS gun but not this gun." It's a completely different way to play the game and it works amazingly. Several enemies are dogs. You can pet all of them. You are encouraged to pet every dog. Typically several times. It's the best. FighterKnuckles has a new favorite as of 18:58 on Oct 11, 2015 |

Tengames posted:A goat (her sprite has small horns on it.) Thanks for the ten page old call out, glad I now the true animal species of Toriel. One other fun thing about Undertale is Mettaton, a recurring character that thrusts you into TV shows and makes you participate in ways that attempt to kill you. On a cooking show he does, you gather ingredients to bake, with the shocking last ingredient being: YOUR SOUL. He whips a chainsaw out when he says this. After he says that, your buddy calls in and requests the show make a vegan version of the dish, without a human soul. You get redirected to a can of Human Soul Substitute on a counter which rockets upward at insane speeds when you approach it. Your friend lets you know that your cell phone has a JETPACK FEATURE, and you fly up to catch the can before your fuel runs out. After you complete all this, "thwarting" the cooking show plans, Mettaton drops the truth bomb: paraphrased: "Fine, you win. Oh, and you wasted your time getting that stupid can. Haven't you ever seen one of these shows? We've already finished making the dish beforehand. Idiot." That happens in the span of about five minutes zero to goddamn sixty in this game

Just found that in MGS5 if you exfiltrate a mission using an enemy vehicle you will hear a spray can being used during the mission results screen. When you load up the free roam after that you'll be in a diamond dogs marked vehicle instead.

There's one boss, a giant spider woman named Muffet, and before you get to where you would fight her, she's having a bake sale, where you can buy spider donuts or spider cider for 9999G each. If you buy one of these, you can skip her boss fight entirely. You can also bring one of the donuts or cider bought from the spiders way back in the very beginning of the game for 7 or 18G instead, and use it on the first round of the fight.

The big climactic showdown with him is basically a ridiculous reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and it's incredible poses. Also in the beginning of the game there's a snowman who asks you to "take him somewhere far away" and you get a snowman piece, which is a good healing item. You do in fact get something if you keep one on you until the ending.

To contribute a bit more, then, Steambot Chronicles is a neat game that's basically easy mode Armored Core. One thing that's really cool about it that most games don't let you do, is that you can actually be evil. You can straight up join the villains and become a fake anime nazi. But that's not all! If you wear the uniform you gain a special salute action which can be used to intimidate NPCs into giving you free money.

Silentman0 posted:There's a character in Undertale whose existence is only hinted at if you use Cheat Engine. This is actually a bug. All that stuff is supposed to be super rare but not impossible to find. A line in the game's configuration file gets updated with the wrong capitalization, so only one of the five or six events ever occurs. However, the narrative of the game is such that the dataminers that found it didn't know if it was supposed to be broken or not until Toby Fox said he'd fix it in a later patch.

Has anyone played "The Magic Circle"? It's an FPS from the POV of a games tester stuck in a half finished game and you have to dick around with the code of the game to, say, turn mushrooms into personal attack dogs. Only got the demo because James Urbaniak does one of the voices, but it seems like it'd be a game with a lot of great little touches. Didn't see much in the demo, unfortunately and I'm not sure if it's worth 15 quid or not.

So. Dangan Ronpa 2. There's two things that are fuckin hilarious in this game that actually caused me to laugh out loud (so far, on Chapter 5 right now.) 1. It was an extremely common meme to call this game some stupid variations of words mashed together, like Benedict Cumberbatch's constant namechanges. In DR2, there's a museum you can go to that's mostly filled with random odds and ends written by the main villain of the series, Monokuma. Monokuma has a "Meaty Diary" in the museum which describes some bogus events with strange characters like his wife that is a Salmon and whatnot. One of them describes how he stole an invitation to be in a video game made by a video game company called Game Company S, which he was really hoping to be the four-sided RPG company he loves. Square  . Instead it turns out to be these weirdos called Spice Chunsoft... Space Chinsoft??? Something like that. To be in a game called Dangit Rupaul. Doggone RonPaul? He forgot that name too. 2. There's a character named Nekomaru who is a Team Manager, he's basically the ultimate coach and doles out tons of health advice and training tips so that you can be the best at whatever your hobbies/sports/etc. are. He puts a heavy emphasis on eating a good meal, and taking a good, powerful poo poo (literally his words) to keep you at the top of your game. Spoilers for DR2's Story and Nekomaru's character from here on out, don't read if you want to play this game yourself: Nekomaru gets offed by protecting another character named Akane that he trains with from being killed by Monokuma for breaking a school rule. Later on, some other people get killed. After the murder/trial that occurs after his death (not for him, the other two characters), Monokuma reveals that he has brought back Nekomaru... as a robot. Robot Nekomaru takes back his place as (Robot) Team Coach, except he is now sad because he can no longer take his good, powerful shits. In Chapter 4, he gets killed again, this time as the victim of another student, so he stays dead-dead from now on. However, the mechanic/tech-savvy character of the group, Kazuichi, scavenges some parts from Nekomaru and brings to the game... MINI-MARU! A tiny little alarm clock made of pieces from Mechamaru that has some soundbites built in from Mechamaru's robot brain or something. He'll occasionally pipe in with the stuff he always said before, which is pretty much all he said before. Within like 10 minutes of getting Minimaru, there's a scene where everybody is eating together, and Minimaru pipes up: "GOOD MEAL, GOOD poo poo".

More MGSV and I'm sorry. If you're clearing an outpost, if you leave the last guy for DD, he'll throw his head back and howl. ARRROOOO!!! Also, if you Fulton somebody while wearing a cardboard box, Snake doesn't take it off. He just reaches out from under the box and gets them. This game is so fun.

In MGS5 the other day, I held up a guy on the edge of a cliff and demanded he get down. When most of his sprite shifted over the ledge, he very neatly and quietly dropped to his death. He followed the letter of the law if not the spirit, I'll give him that.
