This is how the employee area looks like in-game:  The "ceiling" is basically all white, and the shadow is something you don't really notice since you're focusing on all the objects lying around.

Are people really that dumb to think this was just a hallway or room inside a building? Yes. The answer is yes.

Also take into consideration that people were looking at that on a DS screen, not a JPG on your monitor.

The red paint bucket next to an entirely blue/green painting is an obvious clue.

Listing things that make it obvious is missing the point a little, of course it's clear once you give it any kind of thought. The whole idea is that it's not something you think about, you just go with your initial impression from the name "Employee area" and low-resolution half a screen and whether its indoors or outdoors never actively enters your thoughts until it's specifically pointed out. It's some perception-related phenomenon that no doubt has some fancy name. Brains are weird.

Also it has a garage door in the back, which makes half the poo poo in there not seem weird. A big warehouse/empty garage in a film studio seems plausible, and with those DS screens not showing the sky very well/having the walls match up so cleanly does give the impression that it's just a big indoor room.

Of course it's obvious to you, you are specifically looking for stuff to decide wether it's inside or outside. That's not what people playing the game are doing though. All that stuff is just the background, while you're talking to people and investigating. It's one of those things you don't pay attention to until someone points it out.

FFXV is the first game I've beaten in a while that hasn't frustrated me with the length of the credits. I'm sure there's plenty I've missed that wouldn't if I did beat them, but still.

(Some even let you skip the credits entirely.) That should be more common.

Super Smash Bros was always really good about that, and more games could probably follow suit.

There's something immensely satisfying about going back to a boss in Bloodborne who kicked your rear end the first time and stomping his rear end into paste.

Ubisoft are the worst for long credits because they have 43 teams in 23 different countries and you will see EVERY drat MEMBER OF THEM, even the ones the game wasn't even localised for.

The longest credits I ever remember sitting through were from the Scott Pilgrim game. For a sides-scrolling beat-em-up, they had like 20 minutes of credits it was insane.

The longest credits are probably for Rock Band and friends because each of the hundreds of licensed songs gets its own detailed credit.

Agent355 posted:Mighty No 9 has 4 hours of credits. All the new generation of Kickstarted media has huge lists of alphabetized doners filling up their credit list. Hyper Light Drifter also has a long list of credits, but it allows you to increase the speed at which the list scrolls and the top speed is satisfyingly quick. from Tales of Berseria, I've been playing the first 10 hours or so and feeling like it's alright but that battles were missing something, specifically the ability to fight groups of monsters at the same time for better rewards. It's my favorite feature in RPGs because I like the risk/reward trade-off. So I'm pushing along through the first dungeon with a full party and feeling like maybe I should have gotten Yakuza 0 instead when lo and behold it introduces that very gameplay element. I like the combat system in most "Tales of" games and being able to fight larger battles that in turn let me learn skills faster was the thing I needed to keep me excited about random battles until Nioh comes out.

You can actually lure groups together in Berseria to get exactly what you want. A black aura will show up around linked groups. Additionally rewards scale with difficulty. There's also special monsters that'll show up in fights that are basically minibosses Edit: nvm I mosread.

FFXIV is like "Little things: the MMO". The speed with which you level is rewardingly fast, the mages getting a little tank buddy to level with, fast travel, centralized grinding hubs with a variety of quests, the ability to completely change up your character's design after you've played for a while... Jumping back in, after having played a bunch of Korean MMOs and Guild Wars II, is like night and day.

Platinum inserts minigames into their credits as a way to keep you interested in watching them. bayonetta 2 even has you doing mini fights and grading you for each fight

In uncharted 4 the hit indicator is orange instead of white if it was a killing hit. This is incredibly nice and I'm not sure why this is the first game where ever I've seen it done.

Thanks for bringing the discussion to DOOM music, I keep forgetting you can buy it now. That, Wolfenstein, and Hotline Miami are the only soundtracks I've felt were worth buying so far.

Overwatch has a white X around your reticle upon hitting an enemy, a slightly larger red X for headshots, and a skull emblem when it's the killing blow. It's incredibly useful.

The Humble Bundle including the soundtrack of almost everything you buy and having it as a simple separate zip you can download is so handy, especially compared to Steam where you usually have to pay separately for them and then dig around in a bunch of esoteric install folders or use a poorly-labeled music player built into the client to find the actual files,
