I have been collecting every single collectible in Destiny. My goal for my character is Level 40, ✦400, and 100% of the Grimoire filled out. I love where some of the things like Dead Ghosts and Calcified Fragments are. Requiring you to do acrobatic platforming is one thing Bungie asks you to do when collecting. Requiring you to go out-of-map is another. There are at least three Dead Ghosts which require you to do acrobatic platforming WHILE IN A BOSS ROOM, FIGHTING A BOSS. One of them is outside the normal playable map.

IIRC they're the only mutually exclusive achievements in that game, but I'm a bit rusty on that.

Exit Strategy posted:I have been collecting every single collectible in Destiny. My goal for my character is Level 40, ✦400, and 100% of the Grimoire filled out. The worst ones are the calcified fragments you get for beating challenge mode of the oryx raid. It's just not really fun because your completion is based on whether or not you get a raid group full of poo poo babies who can't pay attention or rage out after the smallest mistake. I wish they put more inside regular dungeons though. It was cool when they put like three inside the dreadnought strikes, they should have put some in the heroic versions or something. Then they just repeated it with SIVA nodes. Anyway, I've been playing Way of the Samurai 4 again and it's really fun if you can look past its failings. However I resumed it in the middle of a playthrough and forgot what I was doing. So I started a story event and saw a symbol telling me I could use the draw weapon button and promptly sabotaged the entire story by killing several important NPCs for no reason. Got a cool new sword out of the deal though.

Gitro posted:It's for opening (not using) the console in New Vegas, actually, and it locks you out of achievements for the rest of the play session. You can mod an infinite death gun and thirty thousand health and get everything no problem, but noclip yourself out of a rock or dungeon you've cleared or just fatfinger the tilde key instead of hitting 1 and you have to re-enter the game if you want your cheevos. That's why forum user gibbed made Using the console doesn't disable achievements.

Not that I know of, but I know several games have spoiled their fakeout ending by giving you a "beat level 7 boss" type achivement while very clearly having a "beat the game" type achivement.

I got a good laugh out of the achievement "It's Like That One Video" in the Borderlands 2 DLC, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon's Keep, which is basically a satire on D&D gaming - you get the achievement by finding this cave that you can't enter, but has a health bar, and is titled The Darkness, and attacking it.

I'd like a game where the final boss changes forms a few too many times, and instead of angst over "how are we going to prevail" or a power of friendship speech the main character just gets exasperated at form 4 and just yells "OH, gently caress OFF! THIS IS GETTING OLD!" The closest thing was in FFX when you have beaten Seymour Flux, his third fight by that point, and Tidus just yells "AND STAY UP THERE!"

" Of course he'd still fight as hard as possible, but he'd be fighting out of desperation, so he'd be in each forms final attack phase immediately because he's just panicking and trying to make you go away, in effect making the fight harder than normal due to him not using his easy patterns.

The seymour fights are actually really fun for the stupid story stuff once you stop dying to the third one. The first time, he's like a fantasy cardinal or some poo poo and the plot builds him up as a real shady dude so when you meet him he's pretty casual about the fact that he could kill you all and no one would doubt him, even though your party tries to talk some sense to him. Then you murder him. Like, just straight up murder. Then by the fourth time you fight him your party isn't afraid of him at all, or his political power. They're just like "You again?"

Sans is one of only two characters shown to understand the concept of saving and loading the game that you have power of. As opposed to Flowey who previously had the power and can perceive when you do it, though, Sans only knows it academically. He knows that even if he wins, you can just reload to try again, he just can't directly perceive it. But Sans is a masterful comedian, and that means he knows how to read his crowd. So while every time you reload is the first time for him, he can see by the look on your face that you've lost to him before. He knows that you're really the only person who can stop you, so he's aiming to be so bullshit that you quit. That includes breaking the rules of the game as they've appeared thus far, to become just the most unfair thing he can be. And, in line with interrupting the boss constantly pulling new poo poo on you, you finally beat him by stabbing him mid-taunt.

Undertale is also one of the few times that a game used interface as part of the story that didn't come off as a lame joke, just kinda obnoxious, or Kojima, up to one character taking his weapon and smashing the Mercy button to show you that it's Serious Time. I think a big part of it is that the game is so consistent about it; it doesn't do it one-off or for special fights, but regularly uses the interface as part of it's storytelling.

OK, so far I'm not seeing the problem with Chapter 13 of FF15 - the spells were useful enough to stave off the enemies well enough that the stealth was largely unnecessary, the larger enemies can be x-zones and everything else can be holy-countered or killed with Death. Now that I've got Regis's Sword I can finally start fighting normally again as well, unless the problems come later? It's also doing a good job building atmosphere IMO. I also love the visual effect using Death on the Magitek Knights - they slowly crush like a soda can as the life is sucked out of them, so you end up fighting weird spindly fuckers that barely look like they can stand when you have to stop halfway through a cast to dodge

Kid Icarus: Uprising manages to pull off a fake ending when you're only about 1/3 of the way through the game. Chapter 9: Medusa's Final Battle is among 25 chapters One thinks it seemed a bit short, but you have the adjustable difficulty and a ton of weapons and challenges to unlock. That should pride some good replay value. That space pirate level they had near the end was pretty crazy. The fight with Medusa is much bigger than the other boss fights previous. The characters have some fourth wall-straining banter over some chip tunes from the original NES game, and then the real villain comes onto the scene by tearing down the end credits, and the plot's exuberant insanity only continues to escalate to the end.

When you storm his lair he sends out a group of his strongest dudes, and freaks out when you kill them. Then you kill his giant pet monster, and he comes out, knowing it's to his doom... and trips and falls walking down the stairs and dies.

Just beaten FF15. Loved the Ending, with no special final forms or anything, just an all out slugfest against the final boss, then in final blow being Noctis summoning 13 former kings each with a unique weapon to each land a hit on himself and then him in the afterlife - Yup, Noctis finished him with Knights of the Round! I also like that when the 13 former kings are hitting Noctis in their final rites to bond themselves to him, his father, the final one, hesitates before manifesting, not wanting to slay his own son but knowing he has no choice. The Ifrit vs Shiva fight was pretty cool too. The mid-credits campfire talk was really sweet too...

This was pre-cheevos of course, but one of the "insanity effects" in Eternal Darkness was a fakeout "thanks for playing! Get Hype for ED2!" splash screen. Its over quickly, but was good for a reflexive "HEY- waiiiit a second" at the time. Shame that most of the hardware-based effects don't hold up anymore (unless you play on a CRT TV from 2002, of course)

I think my favourite FF final boss, even if it is kinda pasted on, is FF12s because I love how he isn't in control of the situation anymore. Vayne is basically just a puppet of the Rogue Occuria by the end, which is obvious because of how he looks walking out to the final arena in his weird penultimate furry-musclegiant form. His breathing is laboured, he's staggering, he's clearly in great pain and then as if things aren't bad enough his Fortress, The Bahamut, starts ripping itself apart and fusing to him, forcing him into a final last stand as the abomination that is Mecha-Bahamut (I know it's called the Undying, but seriously? All I saw was Mecha-Bahamut what with the giant mechanical bat wings). I just love the way that cutscene plays out.

My favorite thing in Diablo 1 with the weird Hellfire expansion from Sierra was that you could get not only lovely items, but useless ones. I found a Useless Club once, it was just a magic club that did -100% damage. I barely remember any of the equipment I used deliberately, but that was my favorite piece of loot.
