scarycave posted:Speaking of Zelda shopkeepers, I think it's pretty funny that the shopkeeper in Link's Awakening roasts you if you steal and comeback. Actually, everyone starts calling you THIEF automatically if you steal from the shop, whether you've gone back in and had him kill you or not. There is a glitch to get the bow cheap, but you still have to have the full amount to buy it - if you do a quick save & quit (A+B+Sel+St to open the menu) while your rupees are counting down, then reload the game, your rupees will be at the amount they were when you opened the menu. (I'm not sure if they fixed it in the DX version.) Edit: Apparently, if you hold select, Start, and B before pressing A to confirm buying the item, you keep all your rupees. m2pt5 has a new favorite as of 22:33 on Aug 26, 2016 |

Aphrodite posted:The gun dealers also get mad if you only sell stuff instead of buy. Train cops will freak the ever-living gently caress out if you use the wrong (i.e. non-aug) screen to move between zones at the train stations, complete with dialogue cutscenes of them demanding your papers. It's delicious.

Yeah I had that happen last night, some guy got pissed at me. The game does a decent job of giving a sense of sheer loving frustration too, because whilst you could kill one or two easily, you'd get bum rushed and wrecked in no time. You're put in a position where you have to quietly suffer people mistreating you, whispering slurs, refusing you service, and harassing you.

Another Sleep Dogs one: if you attempt to engage any of the monks at the temple in hand-to-hand combat, they will block your attack effortlessly and throw your rear end on the ground. Then they continue walking serenely. Do not gently caress with those dudes. Also, I never tire of those pork bun vendors: "Man who doesn't buy pork bun is not a whole man!"

Final Fantasy Record Keeper gets a lot of mileage out of streamlining the entire series down to basically just boss fights, but that does mean that everything they've never really designed bosses of their own. Until now! Their current event is a lineup of bosses that they've designed based on something else completely, which is really cool. Especially given what they are based on:  It's a boss lineup entirely of protagonists, who have boss scripts based on their game's actual mechanics.

My favorite little thing about Sleeping Dogs is the mission where you have to kill someone to prove that you're not a cop. At that point I had already killed dozens of people.

It's really dark, but I cracked up how you can break both legs of one potential romance and lock her in the back of your car without any dialogue drawing attention to this. Like, they just remove her NPC protection and don't expect you to take advantage?!

My only problem with Sleeping Dogs was they really should've gone with just stumbling the hell out barely-alive after being tortured, and fast-forwarding X days/weeks spent in hospital recovering... to revenge.

Finally read all of this thread. So many little things I never knew about MGS:TPP, holy crap. Thankfully it's still installed. I didn't even know there were alternate endings besides GO KILL WHITE FROST for Witcher 3. And I am enjoying the gently caress out of the New Game+ playthrough. The fact that they added a whole new higher tier set of equipment of witcher gear, "legendary" as free DLC is just the tits. Other favorite things: If you let Letho trick the nilfgaardians into thinking he's dead by having them remove his amulet, he won't have it for the rest of the game, including when he helps out with the defense of Kaer Morhen, if you ask. All of the voice acting. All of it. It's all done with such care and love and attention to the tiny things in every situation it makes it a real pleasure to go through conversations. Oh god, and the Baron with the naming of the botchling. I could FEEL that. The fact that Factorio is robust enough to make this happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kry8lbrHjeY

Now I want to play sleeping dogs again,it's a shame they rush the ending so much, the whole wedding thing happens too soon and the emotional impact is lost and then you get tortured by a guy who's only been mentioned in passing upto that point and then the games over not long after that, good game though. As for content, I've been playing through the walking dead (telltale) and I've enjoyed it loads and there was loads that I forgot, I love how clem as a child never forgets whatever the final thing lee tells her before he gets left to turn I chose to tell her to stay away from cities at the end of episode 1 and it wasn't until way late episode 2 near the end when she told someone that's it's a bad idea to go near cities. also : gently caress arvo

My favourite thing in the Witcher 3 was this: even unimportant little sidequests got characters where they developed proper personalities and backstories and unique character models. Normally if you see someone with a unique hairdo or more than a template personality, your mind goes 'oh boy Story Character coming up'. Witcher has people like Tamara, her buddy the only decent witch hunter, the Nilfgaardian ambassador's daughters, Von Gratz the doctor... You'd think they wouldn't have put in so much effort if they weren't a big deal, but instead you see them in one quest and then they go back to their lives. It goes a massive way towards making the setting feel like a world instead of Geralt's adventure land

I started playing Witcher 3 about two weeks ago. I wrote off the initial reaction as hype but I'm flabbergasted by the detail, scope, and characterization. Some shady bandit people waved me down to to go "find their friend." On the trail, I stopped for a second which happened to be near a beggar doing his spiel and the bandits told the beggar off for distracting me. You could miss it as it happens because the streets are full of people talking to each other, but they wrote unique npc interactions just for that minor sidequest.

One thing I noticed last night, since I did the master swordsmithing quest again. The setup is this master swordsmith can't make swords due to underworld ties and forcing him out since he didn't want to pay their fees. So he instead becomes a maker of dumplings. The quest is even called, "Of Swords and Dumplings" or something like that. But after you finish the whole quest and unlock him as a vendor, he will always sell a stack of dumplings.

The combat in 3 is still the worst part of it, but everything else is so incredibly good that it's well worth playing. Witcher 2 is sort of an acquired taste in general, so there is a decent chance you'll like 3 even if you hated 2. It's an extremely rare case of something you play not for the gameplay, but for the writing, story, characters, etc. I first started playing it over a year ago, and I'm just now arriving at the very end of it. It's a real journey. (and then I have the expansions to go after that  )Note that the performance is not great in places on PS4 if that's the version you were looking at.
