This belongs more in the other thread, but the first time I had to enter that password, I screwed it up. The resulting scene is much better, I think, than the one you get if you get it right, which is basically 'hug, give accessory'.

If you type in curse words on the cheat screen of the PS1 Spider-Man game, Spidey pops up and punches the word, changing it to something polite like "flowers".

Dark Souls stuff can basically fill this thread since its storytelling is so minimalist.

For example, there's an armor set you can find midgame called the Fallen Knight set. Looks pretty cool and you can infer just from the title that it's armor from a dead knight.



However if you read the item description for the leggings you get this:

Fallen Knight Trousers posted:

Trousers of an order of fallen knights.

Held beneath leather boots and drab cloth using a knot of rope and bandage, they are dampened and indelibly stained with the misery of flight.

You're wearing trousers that some guy pissed himself in as he ran away like a coward

If you enter a swearword as your name in sidescrolling SNES racer Uniracers/Unirally, it tells you NOT COOL ENOUGH. It also does this when you enter SONIC or SEGA.

I've got further into the original Xenoblade Chronicles now and I like that some of the sidequests make use of the magic sword's ability to see the future, like the old man who nearly works himself to death for his daughter's safety or the two children who are having a falling out over which main character is cooler :3:

I'm untouchable thanks to these pills.
I got Enter the Gungeon over the weekend and it's got retro pixel graphics. You can point your gun in any direction and instead of rotating the sprite, each degree of rotation has a new sprite.

Hyper Light Drifter did this too. It looks so much better and so much more consistent when a game does this, rather than rotating the pixels unrealistically.

Picked up the Witcher 3 this last weekend and am having a blast with it.

I love the weather system and how it can make things seem even more epic and dynamic. My favorite little thing about it though is that "before the storm" is a weather pattern with the distant skies going dark, the wind picking up, and the trees bending over. It instantly makes any prolonged fight you get into that much cooler.

Payday's notable in this because unlike drat near every other game that takes a shotgun's damage and spreads it across the pellets (so that to get full damage you want as many pellets to hit the target as possible), Payday shotguns inflict full damage with each pellet. This encourages you to actively decrease the gun's accuracy (such as by firing from the hip at a full sprint) so as to get greater spread and increase the number of targets hit. It even gets funnier with alternate ammo, because you get poo poo like sprinting into a room with a 35-round Dragon's Breath auto shottie that sets 2-4 guys on fire per shot followed up by a secondary shotgun with high explosive shells to ragdoll the flaming, screaming cops.

I like how after most of them the player frantically looks left and right like "did anybody else just see that poo poo?"

Which brings up an interesting question...do those reloads have 3rd person animations as well?

Shotguns were buffed across the board and all the new shotgun skills benefit the Loco just swell. It's just not the undisputed, balance-wrecking King of All Shotguns Forever anymore.

Ohhh yeah, I just went back and checked. It's kind of subtle with the gun going out of frame so gently, it basically just looks like they took the magazine out and put it right back in the same gun, I'm talking about a blatant "toss the gun away and reach down below the screen for a new one while the magazine stays in the frame" kind of thing. Still funny though.

Ok, I'm further into Xenoblade Chronicles now and get what people mean about the plot being way better. The villains that I've met so far have chemistry with the heroes and are hinting at further aspects of the conflict, which is way more interesting than the Ganglion, who only really appear in one or two story missions each, then are never mentioned again while refusing to explain themselves to the heroes. They're also enjoying their roles more, Xord was a great character, and he hinted at the greater context after I murdered him.

Now I'm not 100% sure on Overwatch lore but I think Reaper just found McCree wandering around being a cowboy in the year 5,000 and was all "well this guy's just batshit enough to join my team before I turn evil" but then McCree didn't want to be evil because cowboys aren't evil so now they're not friends anymore (but nobody told McCree).
