Lotish posted:What is the one bad Nintendo game? Other M. Any other 'bad' Nintendo game by my count is either disappointing but still alright on its own terms (Super Paper Mario) or only nominally a Nintendo game (Star Fox Adventures is an entirely unrelated Rare game with a Star Fox coat of paint), but Other M is inexcusible. It's entirely possible I'm forgetting something, particularly from the NES era, but that's where I'm coming from.

Please post your favorite things in games, tia. Mine is that you can have a dinosaur on your farm in Stardew Valley if you find a dinosaur egg artifact and put it in an incubator.

This is some hilarious hoop jumping to justify a company's lovely outings. But yea not sure where this derail come so on to favorite things, one thing I sort of enjoy sometimes is horrendously lovely physics and boy does Destiny have those in abundance, case in point is a particular enemy called a Phalanx of one of the factions, this enemy tends to hit you with their shield when they come close, for reasons that nobody can really explain these enemies to completely destroy the games physics and cause poo poo like this to happen.  I have another one of a human player punching me into orbit and getting me killed via impact damage so while Phalaxes will be the main cause of retarded deaths like this, it seems to be a problem with the game itself.

Yeah I'd say a good 50% of my deaths in that game was "Misadventure" or "the Architects" which, from what I understand, is basically "we don't loving know what killed you."

Space Station 13 is the gift that keeps on giving. There have been a couple of pages of people's favorite bugs. Space Lube is a lubricant that makes the floor slippery and apparently accelerates you as you slip over multiple tiles Dr. Cogwerks posted:Space lube slip and slide from Mushroom arrivals almost down to the bridge, hit a portal, return to the start with velocity maintained. Once a few people were rocketing through it infinitely at near light speed, the server got very mad. Bloody Pom posted:Reminds me of the graviton accelerator infinite loop I set up on Cogmap1. People sailing back and forth down the southern hallway at relativistic speeds until something obstructs and violently gibs them. DWAINE is the on-board terminal/mainframe system cock hero flux posted:The best server crash is still the one where the guy managed to crash DWAINE by writing a bad program in it and this spilled over and also crashed the actual server Code is not optimized Natalya Fartz posted:Didn't someone delete all the air on the server leading to a crash? Johnny Joestar posted:my only claim to fame is that i once grew so much weed that it basically almost crashed anyone who right-clicked on the pile and so i got named the WEEDLORD and my high rear end got dragged to the shuttle along with multiple crates of weed at the end Sometimes, a typo in code can lead to hilarious results Haine posted:
it was spawning them in via a for loop that counted the wrong way wasn't it? [/quote] Yep. for (var/i = rand(2,10), i > 0, i--) vs for (var/i = rand(2,10), i > 0, i++) Two characters was all the difference between the server starting normally, and the server grinding to a halt 9 times out of 10 as the couple fridges around the map frantically spawned nuggets over and over, everything else stopped because all the server knew to do was KEEP SPAWNING NUGGETS. I think when one of the hosts finally figured out what was going on there were tens of thousands of nuggets in those fridges only a couple minutes after the server restarted. This was also entirely my fault, I am the nugget criminal. [/quote] Turns out reusing code by copying and pasting rather than using classes and assigning objects to that class is a bad idea Haine posted:There were (probably still are) a lot of instances of someone needing code that already existed somewhere else, so they just copy and pasted the code in the new place and maybe changed one line or something. And this one needs no comments cock hero flux posted:

My theory is that in the moment of impact you might be clipping through the ground in some way and the game just launches you instead.

This has been happening to me a lot in PVP recently because I am one of those sad morons who tries to use defender in PVP. I throw up the bubble, someone runs into the bubble and suddenly I'm flying through space and explode on impact with a wall. Someone, somewhere has figured out how to do this and they're not sharing the secret. As for favorite little things, the aforementioned defender class has a grenade called "Suppression Grenades" which leave little fart clouds that disable skills and more importantly, double jumps and super moves. Throw one at the edge of a pit and watch people fall to their death as people's double jumps don't kick in. When someone's using their super, throw it and watch them whiff but not realize it and start charging out expecting to zap everyone with electricity and just get shot to death in seconds. It's almost worth the other dozens of death for every one time I manage to pull this off.

One thing I love with Dark Souls 3 is the openness. I'm able to forget the boss I'm currently stuck on (Still at the Abyss Watchers, that fight seems super luck based sometimes but I'm getting better) and take a break from it to go play around in the Cathedral of the Deep. Also I love the Bloodloss status effect although (ok, because :P) the leeches are gross.

We eventually compromised that we would allow it for occasional Maximum Bullshit matches only.

Also I liked the Callisto NTG a lot, because secondary fire would just shoot through most obstacles like a door or something, so you could pop fools before they can actually fire back at you.

Just thought I'd let y'all know that I've finally beaten those loving Abyss Walkers. Got the spellsword up to plus 4 and 32 Dex before I finally managed it :P Thanks for the tip about the leeches as well, I'll keep a torch handy for the graveyard stuff.

You know what forget awesome gameplay anecdotes or whatever about Shadow of Mordor, it has an option to put a battery indicator on the UI. I haven't seen this anywhere else and it is a godsend to be able to tell when to take my laptop off charge without having to remember to all tab out to check and get advance warning for when my battery is getting low before Windows throws it's own ugly, mouse-capturing warning message in my way.

I do recall an exploit a player would do is carry a sandwich with a very long name and they would wear a blind fold then do something that will make the sandwich's name appear which would lag out everyone who saw it. So they would walk into a room, put on the blindfold, smack the sandwich against a window then murder everyone who is currently frozen E: In SS134

The shortcuts in Dark Souls 3 can be very cathartic. I was running through the start of the Cathedral of the Deep this morning, ran through the graveyard and opened a ladder, which was nice but nothing special. Then I kept moving, past a large number of ambushes on the roof, and got inside the Cathedral itself with the invincible giant in the first big room, and after a small room with a few new enemies I found an elevator, that led back to the start of the entire path, through the first set of double doors at the small cathedral's bonfire. That's a half hour journey cut out now. BTW, does the Tower Knight with all the miracles at the bottom of the staircases respawn or am I safe from that bastard now I've killed him? Edit: Also during the run to the aforementioned ladder, the enemies started randomly dying, as great arrows were coming from somewhere again. When I looked in that direction I saw the tower where the Giant Friend lives in the Undead Settlement. Even on the other side of the map he's still looking after me  I love that kind of interconnectedness.

They're actually surprisingly easy to dodge from the ground, just keep stabbing their feet and they'll die eventually. Thing I like about dark souls 3: You can actually kill the big rear end enemies blocking your way instead of always having to sprint past them

Also another fun tip: the thick sludge at the bottom of the cathedral seems to negate fall damage so a short cut to the bottom is a seemingly suicidal drop.

Just got to the Swarm of Clerics fight. Not too hard until the second phase with the main guy. I think I'll try Iron Fleshing and just wading the gently caress in when he spawns because I kill large arcs of them at once, they have low health and no poise and I can keep a ton of Estus on hand. Just don't want to give him the chance to use his really mean Dark or Curse spells, or however he seems to be healing. I'm just glad I can basically ignore the encounter just before. 2 Pyromancers, One Cathedral Knight and One Black Knight? gently caress that. I can easily just run past. Also I've found the shortcut just on the other side of that encounter. The second giant can wait until I have better spells because he is surrounded by slowdown sludge and a million slimes. I'm gonna wait for exploding fireball, thankyouverymuch.

If I understand right Wolnir is deathly afraid of the Abyss despite appearances. His sword hints at this. By breaking his bracelets, you break the anchors that kept him from slipping wholly into oblivion. The abyss kills him, if anything does. marshmallow creep has a new favorite as of 13:54 on Apr 30, 2016 |

There's a solid argument to be made that he's not fighting you, just occasionally hitting something nearby in his desperate scrabble to escape what's chasing him.

I love Dark Souls and all the hidden-ish story stuff, but I think that last part is a bit of a stretch. Why would he pull out a sword and wave it around if that was the case. I think the climbing he does is more thematic than literal.
