Agents are GO! posted:Asha's loyalty mission mocking the poo poo out of Metal Gear. How do you make fun of a clown? Pointing and laughing at it's big floppy shoes?

I got the impression that Asha's mission was more mocking "serious" stealth games like Splinter Cell rather than Metal Gear (I don't think shooting out lights is even a thing in MGS), but it's been years so maybe I don't remember it fully.

The boss at the end with his rambling convoluted lecture and ~twist~ is very MGS, but yeah, it's trying to hit the entire covert ops genre.

Which again with the boss's willingness to play along feels more like a celebration of the silliness of the genre, while gta would've called you a stupid rear end in a top hat for playing those games and pat itself in the back while huffing its own farts

This would belong in the other thread, but one of my pet peeves is when games simultaneously deride and include a game element. It's not funny to talk about how sewer levels suck, but it's especially not funny to talk about how sewer levels suck in a sucky sewer level. If you're going to make the joke in the first place, have the protagonist refuse to go into the sewer or something. For content: I've been playing Guild Wars 2 lately, and I love how organic the quests can get with all the different ways they show up. I just finished an hour-long chain of events that I found while trying to log a waypoint and was probably the most fun I've had doing an escort quest. (It helps that, by and large, the escortees were competent, and worst-case scenario I could revive them after clearing out the area.) And I didn't have to officially accept any quests or wait my turn to get my ten pristine frog ears or whatever; the first event in the chain was already in progress, and I just chipped in. Other players showed up at various parts, did what interested them, and wandered off.

Borderlands 2 is frustrating because it does get a lot of things right. Enough to keep you playing. But then there's... all of those other things. Yeah that, and that, and him. Yeah I don't wanna go into it right now.

Including lines such as: Nick: I am breathing poo poo air into my lungs, it is being absorbed into my bloodstream. I am literally full of poo poo. Ellis: Hey, I found a candy bar! (Beat) Whup. False alarm.

My favorite little thing about the Nier demo is that the battle theme for the first Saw Blade Boss sounds a lot like "Song of the Ancients" without the vocals. I can't confirm if it actually is but there's a few mixes on youtube that add the audio to the song and it sounds almost identical.

Not to mention it sounds rad, you take a few "heroes" and run around with them switching on the fly as you do rad action sequences. The new Art Style is really cool too, less "ULTRA REALISM" more cell shadey / hand drawn goodness like invisible inc. (Idk what the word is for that is called.)

Why did they make Borderlands 2 so loving hard? TVHM was like ripping off your own foreskin the enemies became such huge damage sponges. It loving sucked, and for no good reason.

Anthony Burch and the other Borderlands writers also worked on Tales from the Borderlands.Alteisen posted:GTA has gotten to far up its own rear end. GTA vanishing up its rear end happened after the Hot Coffee scandal blew up, it's almost kind of tragic how the media and legal pushback against that seems to be what made them so unbearably cynical and hateful about everything and why they're so fixated on being serious and delivering cutting commentary at the expense of fun. Also why Red Dead Redemption was entirely about how stupid and worthless the federal government of the US is and how it ruins everything.

The protagonist is asked to do something stupid and outlandish by a secondary character. He is initially outraged, but after much pacing back and forth, poking the secondary character in the chest, emitting hollow threats and angrily shaking his fist, he acquiesces in exchange for promises of future assistance from the secondary character. Which Dan Hauser Presents: Rockstar Games cutscene did I just describe? all of them

I guess my memory is pretty spotty then, but I played GTA:SA when it came out, which would've put me at about 10 years old at the time so paying attention to cutscenes wasn't high on my list of priorities.
