I was going between psychopaths, eating their food and then moving to another one once I cleared up more room for food. I had killed Larry and was safely perched on top of his fridge when I last left Frank and then I either fell down or failed to pause correctly.

LoveBoatCaptain posted:My game of the month is, surprisingly, Paper Mario Color Splash. Running around filling in colorless spots and solving problems for toads is far more fun than I thought it could be, and the writing is genuinely funny at times. The battles might not be as fun as they are in the Mario and Luigi games, but they've been really fun since I started messing around with the different types of cards instead of just spamming generic jumps and hammers. it's super cute and I wish more people would give it a chance

Yeah the dual-handing from one weapon is a 3 exclusive mechanic. 2 had powerstancing which was kinda goofy if you pumped your STR to the super high levels

Here's another fun max payne 3 speedrun trick I just learned: The way the game gives you bullet time is way more complex than it seems. In Max Payne 1 and 2, you have to get kills to get bullet time (although 2 gives you a very small amount that regenerates). In 3, you gain bullet time from damaging enemies or being damaged yourself... but not killing enemies. What happens is, when you shoot an enemy, the game gives you varying tiny amounts of bullet time based on where you shot them, with the head giving the most. Obviously if you kill an enemy you can't get any more bullet time from them, so it's actually beneficial to run around like a fuckin slow-mo vampire and blast dudes with shotguns and spray their chests with automatic guns, to gain as much bullet time from them as you can.

I thought so at first, but surprisingly no! If the game's record-keeping were measured in real time it would, but there's a little quirk that changes things a bit. The timer that ticks up while you're in gameplay slows down to however slow the game is moving when you're in bullet time. edit: Speedruns of MP3 on the normal difficulties are measured in real time since there's no loading screens etc, but New York Minute Hardcore has its own set of rules and it conveniently keeps its own time!

Yeah, shooting the kevlar enemies in the chest instead of headshotting them in Max Payne 3 pretty much fills your entire bullet time gauge. The things you notice after spending over a hundred hours with a game.

Really you wanna be in bullet time as much as possible because Max takes like a third as much damage, which is really helpful in the later stages when enemies start carrying fuckoff revolvers that can down you in like 1 headshot if you're even a little hurt. Maybe someday I'll do a run of the normal game in non-NYM just to see what it's like because that's what I'd be doing if I were at AGDQ/SGDQ.

I try to be as nice as I can to the fast food employees around here, because that poo poo sucks. As a result I get all kinds of free stuff, just for being a decent human being. But like, I don't even deserve a reward for that poo poo, but that's just how lovely most people are to each other; people are surprised when you just use basic courtesy. I'm kinda drunk...

Lurdiak posted:I've been playing the Dying Light DLC that came out earlier this year and I have such mixed feelings on it. It boils down to the fact that to accommodate the awesome driving they added in, they had to design the new area with lots of flat ground and roads, which massively cuts down on the awesome parkour that made the base game so enjoyable.

I really like Battlefield 1. Basically if you thought to yourself 'I'd like to play some next gen World at War singleplayer and Battlefield 1942 multiplayer' then it's both. Multiplayer matches with a good squad are so satisfying. Also tanks where everybody has a turret.

"It's a big burden, to be honest," David Cage continued. "I've just finished the script for Detroit. It took me more than two years, and that's working around six days a week. It's probably 20 times more complex than anything we've ever done. It's a lot for one brain to handle. lol

To be fair to David cage, writing the script for games like his probably is hell just for the sheer minutiae of little dialog changes and stuff. To be fair to the rest of the world, David cage is a poo poo writer edit: Of course, most of said minutiae usually boils down to quote:*brought your coworker a soda* Hey, you brought one for me too, thanks! or quote:*only got one for yourself* Aww, where's mine? so it's probably not as difficult as he says it is, but it does still make every conversation you write a logic puzzle to unravel in a way.

My WiiU is fixed again so it's back to Paper Mario Color Splash! So far it's probably my favorite Paper Mario for writing and visuals but the combat isn't amazing, battles are quick though so it's not a slog to run through them or anything.
