I always liked how Dead Rising's Zombie Genocide achievement had you kill the population of the town you were in in zombies, 53,000 and change. Left 4 Dead had Zombie Genocider, which was to do the same thing but kill one more zombie than that.

I think it was Prototype that went one further and had an achievement which required you to kill the same as in L4D, plus another single zombie.

I just played through Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it's full of little things, but my favorite has to be how much detail went into the lightsaber users. Rey and Finn both just kinda flail around, Count Dooku has his dueling style, and so on.

That Shadowrun bit reminds me: I think it was in Dragonfall that I found an administration console. I scoured the location pretty thoroughly up to that point, so I was surprised when I realised I didn't find any hint of an admin password in the level. So just on a whim I walk up to the computer and try:quote:Login: admin Even in the cyberpunk bullshit future, people are still too lazy to change the default password.

Dragon Quest Heroes if you attack a boss troll from behind, it has a fart attack that causes bedazzlement (pretty much blindness, all your attacks whiff for a period of time).

The Director's Cut for Shadowrun Dragonfall in that it has an entire ending for what happens if you decide the bad guy has a point and side with him, and while you miss out on a third of the final level, the ending itself is almost more fleshed out than any variation of the original ending. Of course, it's a challenge in itself... because that ending requires you to 1v3 the rest of your team. You can also, at that point, if you've collected enough information, tell the bad guy that this is probably a bad idea with unforeseen consequences (the above badguy ending makes this clear). Sadly instead of skipping to letting you pick an ending, he gets killed by his bodyguard who wants to go ahead with his plan anyway and the rest of the level continues as normal. Meanwhile: Shadowrun Hong Kong gives you an achievement for literally just physically punching the final boss, who is a god.

Diablo 3 has an achievement for that too. Unlike a lot of others there's no flavour or whimsy to its description. Literally just "Punch Diablo".

Mierenneuker posted:Self-aware achievements are great. In Saints Row 2 one of the activities is Mayhem where you need to destroy as much as possible in a limited amount of time. Each thing you destroy has it's own score value but generally you want many targets instead of high value targets, because this increases your score multiplier and prevents the combo counter from timing out. Now the easiest way to pull that off is to destroy fences since each fence post counts as a separate target. You can just drop remote explosives all over a neighborhood, hit the detonator to destroy all those fences and rack up a big score multiplier. It'll also instantly draw a lot of police attention so you can start destroying their vehicles to keep the combo going. Saint's Row 3 also justifies one of your first Mayhem missions by stating that you're going after a fence company. No, not resellers of stolen goods. You're going after a company that makes wooden and chain link fencing for residential, commercial, and industrial use.

Tales of Maj'Eyal also has an achievement called "Fool of a Took!" To get it, you have to kill yourself as a halfling. Sadly you cannot trigger this by being killed by your future self (though there's a different achievement for that, called The Way We Weren't, that says "You were killed by your future self, and thus this never happened").

I don't like most "funny" achievements since they're usually just dad jokes or memes but mediocre FMV QTE game Press X To Not Die had a pretty good one: you unlock a gallery of production stills for beating the game, and if you zoom in on one of the girlfriend character with her top off you get an achievement called "Dude, Seriously?"

That was the level that sold me on the anti-aug side. You get the initial pitch from the pro-aug side from your boss at the start of the game and he goes on about how many lives are improved by the tech and how they are advancing the development of the human race. Very idealistic stuff. Then you get to the facilities where they're produced and you have division managers telling their engineers to stop making the knee joints so high quality because he wants their customers coming in for "tune-ups" every year.

I just love how much of an amazing prick DOOM guy is. Little robot helping him giving him upgrades? Grab that loving upgrade and punch that little fucker. Need to disable a thing? loving punch that poo poo. It's great. I'm pretty sure the enemies know they are fighting a losing battle and are just fighting back for self defense. Also the great butt rock that's rockin on while you commit war crimes.

What makes it perfect is the first machine you have to carefully shut down step-by-step has DoomGuy earnestly poking and examining every inch of it trying to figure out what the gently caress the guy on the radio wants him to actually do. Then he just gives up and kicks it to scrap, and just straight-up puts his boot to the other two consoles when you find them without even trying to do it properly. And locking you in a room with the Demons isn't a trap, it's a mistake. A grave mistake  .

No idea how the rest of it's gonna go but every time I see Harvey Dent in the Batman Telltale game I just cannot stop laughing. It really makes me yearn for the Arkham Asylum aesthetic again though.

At the start of Doom, you can briefly see the DoomGuy's arms and legs without his armour. Even though it's only in the very first room of the game, they put a load of details into it. He's covered in scars, and has runes carved into his palms.

In the library level of Metro: 2033, a character reads the title of a book, Roadside Picnic. Roadside Picnic is a novella by Soviet writers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky that heavily influenced the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the Metro games. Due to the nature of Soviet copyright laws (or lack thereof), it can be read online in its entirety.

The newly-released AM2R is excellent, but one thing I wasn't expecting was all the little control customisation choices. You can fully customise the controls on both keyboard and gamepad, but you can also specify whether you want separate buttons for aiming diagonally up and down (like Super Metroid), or a single button that you then choose up and down with the D-pad (like Fusion and Zero Mission). There's also options to have the spider ball function like the original Metroid 2 (down twice to enter morph ball, then down again to activate spider ball), or to use the aim buttons as either a toggle or a hold for the spider ball. No matter your experience with the Metroid series, you can customise it however is most comfortable for you, which is something more games should do. It's also all-around a really fun game.
