Remember the Wicked Shipping Fleet Lockup? After some evidence of foul play in the manifest terminals, one of the side buildings has two skeletons slouched apart on the opposing sides of the room, one with a gas canister and one with a pistol. There's a holotape on the table of one of the business partners calling up the other for a heart-to-heart meeting about skipping town after one of their black deals went really bad. It looks like they shot each other after a terrible argument... until you clamber on the roof where you find a third skeleton with a duffle bag full of money, lying right by a pair of holes in the roof. Seat yourself on the bones and peer down, the holes line up perfectly with the skeletons down below. TontoCorazon posted:So yeah fallout rules pretty hard

WeaponGradeSadness posted:I like how human enemies dying in a hail of automatic weapons fire will do that dance you see in the movies where the bullets knock them around for a while before they fall over, or the time I killed a super mutant with a .308 round to the guts and he grasped his stomach, doubled over and took a few stumbling steps, then fell. It's such a big improvement over 3/NV, where the combat was so static. My death animations tend to be from exploded heads, causing the arms to meagerly flop around. Sort of like a puppet on strings waggling about, I love it.

I had a jihadist super mutant trying to close the distance between us, felt like a total bad rear end when I caught him with a sick nasty head shot and his body goes limp and face plants. I know it's been said but the death animations are pretty great.

I collect pool balls for chuckles. Every pool ball I find goes on the Big Table at home, and each one is like finding a piece of candy. Obviously, each time I find a pool table with a ton of them it's like christmas. I found a table halfway through a hole in the second floor. Four balls were stuck on its lining, ten more scattered around the diner, under tables, behind counters and such, one just outside the door... and one had rolled outside and all the way down the hill into a lake, 30+ yards from the pool table.

Is there anything like that in Fallout 4? I'm not really expecting it, but I think that'd be a fun little detail in the game.

They roll 6 inches tops and knock into each other as wimpy as a physics engine can possibly wimp out. Same thing when I found a bowling alley. I got a huge running start halfway down the alley, threw a bowling ball at some pins, and it didn't even make it.

Now that I got it to work she just went " blah blah blah...." At some dude. I've been using left mouse button on PC and just been getting the default skip lines. I'll try the right arrow key next time.

To chime in the the Fallout 4 stuff, just found this place called Libertalia off the coast, its a bunch of boats tied together to form a little town. It might be a Waterworld reference but I think its a joke about the libertarian plans for their own island outside any laws where they could be Randian capitalists or whatever. Of course its all raiders. I know, I know Bioshock did it first but its so ramshackle and poo poo its probably a better representation of what happens one week after they all move in and what initial conditions would be like with no building regulations. Edit Other things that have greatly pleased me They seem to have gotten the amount of health a mob should have mostly right. For example a highish relatively hp mob like tough ghoul isn't a gigantic hitpoints bag but if you are in a building and it gets close its going to be a little rough to take down before you start taking rad and regular damage but you can just chop his legs off which renders him pretty much impotent and you can then finish him at your leisure which is another little thing I like because I remember back in 3 and vegas the removal of a limb was instant death anyway. They also improved the stealth. Some of the mobs are real slow to spot you while the robot type enemies are faster. But when you start shooting people it isn't like every other Bethesda shitshow where they stand around doing nothing or at best comment is someone out there as all their friends die in spectacular fashion around them. The mobs reason your position out, start firing at it "blind", take appropriate cover and even try to flank. And when you move to another spot they continue to fire on the old one. Its not ubisoft polished but it doesn't feel like abusing the retard ai anymore Goofballs has a new favorite as of 06:06 on Nov 29, 2015 |

I really love this skip thing. I'm siding with The Institute and I went to the railroad hideout. Desdemona started giving a speech about how bad The Institute is and how we have to kill themand my character just went rear end. HOLE. I don't know if that's intentional or a coincidence but it is hilarious. Haha just did another skip with her and my character says mockingly, "miss high and mighty..."

Anatharon posted:Killer7 is one of the best games ever. Yes, I agree. One of my favourite little things is how the weird speech the NPCs use is just filtered and/or distorted English, since they spoke clearly (if not correctly) in English in the original version. http://youtu.be/WkM57JcactU?t=234 Bertram Weatherby has a new favorite as of 08:08 on Nov 29, 2015 |

I liked Killer is Dead but it got a bit of flak for billing itself as a Suda51 game when he didn't actually work on it beside giving some story ideas, and whether it was them copying Killer7 or their own thing it has animated cutscenes for some missions too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zysgw72RwzE&t=1367s

When you get into a vehicle in Star Wars Battlefront, it doesn't just fade to black or flash darkness for a second or instantly transport you. Instead, it does a left-to-right screen wipe.

So. Neko Atsume is a phone game based around being a crazy cat lady. You buy furniture and food to attract cats to your yard, and the cats give you a little bit of the game's currency in thanks for letting them play with the toys, sleep in catbedd, etc.  It's also got some of the most realistic cat behavior I've ever seen. Of course the cats just chill out with their assholes pointed at you. That's what real cats do. And then there's this Fucker. He's named Bolt, but I have renamed him Fucker. I had just spent about 5 bucks on this game's premium currency to expand my yard, change its style, and get some nice new things for it.  So naturally, Fucker sits in the lone loving cardboard box.

Super Smash Bros 4: In the credits scene you need to fill in a picture by hitting a credit when the credit is over a blank spot in the picture. If you get 99.99% it just gives you 100%  More games need to do that.

Thin Privilege posted:FO4 I love how you can see the little Fatman nuke coming straight for your face before you die This is how I learned that mobs will pick up better weapons that their friends drop. I had to clear out an outpost full of raiders once. It was being led by a guy in power armor with a fat man. I had a gauss rifle so I crouched down and blasted his head off. This alerted his buddies which I couldn't see at the moment because I was on a hill. I repositioned myself and set up to take another shot, only to see a mini-nuke growing steadily larger in my scope.

I'd try a new position and weapon, take a shot and then hear the whistle! I had the misfortune of both him and a legendary raider at the same locale. I'm mostly melee, so I tried running in and I'd disarm him, and the other rear end in a top hat would grab the fatman and shoot it point blank. I finally decided to port to the nearest settlement, upgrade it to carry artillery, and just shelled them from a distance. The first round that came in caused him to yell "gently caress!" and he started popping off nukes in random directions. What an awesome fight!

I've had some chatter like them warning the others that I'm probably using a stealth boy (I was), and their taunts seem based on how much damage they've done. After taking a few dozen rounds that I survived through copious use of drugs they just started screaming about what it would take to just kill me already.

More Resident Evil 6 stuff: Jake Muller's campaign is full of terrible design decisions, but his hand-to-hand combat is not one of them. Many of his moves are slower versions of the moves used by Albert Wesker in RE5, and are hilariously effective as a result. The basic charge attack will not only knock a targeted J'avo out from cover, it can chain to 2 other targets and will knock them down. And melee attacks often flinch/stun/knockdown highly mutated J'avo to boot. The only time I use a gun is to shoot the Snake Emblems or if there's enemies that I cannot physically reach. I charge in, knock everyone to the floor, and my partner cleans up with the cattle prod (instant kill on a downed enemy). Teamwork!
