The entire intro to Aya in Mass Effect Andromeda feels like Original Flavor Star Trek, particularly if you choose all the wide-eyed idealist lines. This game has a billion and a half problems, but I love my silly janky Earnest Space Opera.

Cythereal posted:The salarian pilot is hilarious if you play as Sarah and start a romance with Suvi, the ship's science officer. Sarah is a dork and is as awkward as you'd expect trying to flirt with Suvi. Over in the next chair, the pilot has only one request after being an unwilling witness: "Kill. Me. Now." Perhaps the only scene where the broken facial animations work better than if they were actually functional.

Killing Floor 2 - The trader comments on your performance or stuff that happened in the last round. Like being impressed when you make it through a wave unharmed (not that it's likely to happen past the first 1-2), or stoked that you killed a big zed, or she'll bring up how wounded your team is and how, hey dummy, maybe you should heal 'em. - Pressing the reload button when you have a full magazine instead has you perform a gun check, fiddle with it, or do sick Ocelot twirls with your dual revolvers. This also applies to melee weapons, and it feels incredibly satisfying to just keep twirling my glorious hanzo steel during downtime. - When your melee weapon has blood on it, instead of the other animation, instead you flick the blood off. And they even remembered to make it generate a blood spatter on the ground when you do.

EVE Online is about piloting a ship around space, etc. You have the usual variety of solar systems and constellations to travel around, but there is also a thing called wormhole space - you use a probe scanner to hunt down wormholes in system, and travel through them to an unknown location which may or may not be super dangerous. Obviously these places have really good resources and loot to take, but one thing I like is that normally you have a local chat channel which shows you how many people are in the system with you, but you get disconnected from it in wormhole space, and you don't know if you are alone or being tracked which means you have to keep scanning around yourself and staying mobile to avoid being ganked. If you are unlucky, people will just be sitting on the other side of the entry to kill anyone who comes in, but wormholes only live for a certain amount of time, and may collapse unexpectedly which cuts off entry from that point.

Don't they cut off exit as well so end up stranded in empty space forever?

From what I read about it, a new entry/exit to a different location gets generated, but it may have new restrictions on it like 'only small ships can enter', so some people could get stuck if they were unlucky.

RimWorld has been a surprisingly charming game so far. Like all world builder and pawn simulators there are some issues of dumbshittery but those have been mostly benign and hilarious as well. I tore the still beating heart from a raider who attacked my base after borrowing his Kidney, Liver, Lung, Legs, Arms and eyes. Had an older colonist in dire need of a new ticker, schedule the operation everything goes smoothly but to get the colonist in question to behave and lay down long enough to be operated on I had to force them into bed, once the surgery was finished I released that force thinking they will remain in bed of their own accord. Nope, immediately falls the gently caress out of the bed in an unconscious state, my trusty rescue husky rushes over to save them and bring them to a bed, half-way across the colony, while the colonists doctor rushes to try and get them back into bed, while a third colonist noted the wounded one needed food, so a dog was rushing away a freshly heart transplanted colonist while a dude with a TV dinner and another lady with a stethoscope rushed after it. Such a good boy. This is also the same husky whom in an attempt to show its awesome skills off rushed into a fresh forest fire event to "retrieve" a dead animals body. And whom held an invader in place in melee, despite my best attempts to not get it to go into combat, because my three man fire team with LMG's had just got set up. Lost his tail in that barrage.

In Mass Effect: Andromeda, I have enjoyed the fact that first, I can jump on top of my spaceship and walk around on top of it. And second, my pilot goes "Really, Ryder?" in an exasperated tone when I do.

Yakuza 0 is seriously genuinely a good game to enter the series with. It's a prequel and while you miss some call-forwards it is a self-contained story with no real backstory baggage. Like the most you'll miss is some dude appearing in a sidestory who happens to be a guy from a future game. And no, there's nothing to miss buying it used.

Yes, it is a fantastic starting point. It's a prequel so it introduces three characters important to the series. Someone said you'd miss some references, and it's true, but don't sweat it.  The thing about the games are that they're very story heavy. VERY story heavy. Unlike GTA or Sleeping Dogs where you can boil the plot and missions down to commit heists and spy on the criminal underworld, Yakuza goes out of its way to introduce a bunch of characters and explain to you the hierarchy of the Tojo Clan and the characters' motivations are a conflict between their personal desires and the strict code they must abide as yakuza. It's really easy to miss out important plot stuff, is what I'm trying to warn you. There's a lot of text to read, especially with the side stories but it's worth it. Every one of them has charm, humor, and can be more poignant than most AAA games' plots. As for other entries, I heard that they reprinted copies of Yakuza 2 for $50 to promote Y0, and that there's a remake of the first game out already. Hopefully Y0 sales will encourage Sega to localize it as well.

Zelda: BotW lets you skip pretty much any cutscene and has special, briefer dialog if you complete quests before being asked (for example, lighting the furnace in Hateno with blue fire before talking to Purah or whatever her name is. Also, even the more generic objectives like climbing Sheikah towers are set up in such a way that every single one feels completely unique, with unique obstacles and challenges. Compare that to Far Cry 3 where every tower is a platforming "puzzle" so janky that they're all pretty much interchangeable.

The best tower is the one south of the Castle, which has two Guardians set up around it. It feels like the levels from Donkey Kong Country 2 with the enemy that fires rockets at you from the foreground with a reticle to avoid. Super good.

One of the best parts of Wind Waker is that in dungeons, Link will often be looking at something, and if you point the camera where he's looking it's probably important to the puzzle in that room. Later games kinda did this but I think this was first.
