i like that in Warframe and Quake Champions your guns start to sound like they are running out of ammo when they are running out of ammo.

At the risk of invoking the gun nuts, isn't that a mechanic in real life? The last rounds of a magazine are tracers or something so you know you're getting close to the end?

Resonance of Fate on the PS3 (and only the PS3) had a few trophies with unique pictures: see, the PS3 displayed trophy pictures in a vertical list, directly adjacent to each other. So the devs thought it'd be neat if they did something with it. So when you earn all the story trophies and see the trophy list, you notice that there's about 15 pictures that join together to make a single, long picture. I thought it was really cool.

Kanfy posted:Can't forget the classic. Gunpoint also has this cheevo: "Title Finally Relevant: Help justify my early, not entirely wise choice of game name by holding someone at gunpoint with the Resolver." Most, or all if you decide to, of the game can be played without ever making use of a gun.

Patrick Spens posted:How do you get that one? The game begins because 2 people were killed and you're investigating their deaths. If you kill more than that amount during the course of the game, at the end you can write a journal that goes something like "I think in the end I killed more people than I avenged?" and you get the cheevo I also posted this the other day

The best one there is the one you get for punching somebody 100 times. The game berates you the entire time and says stuff like "what, you think there's an achievement for this?" The description is "this is an achievement in name only. Nobody is proud of what you've done."

I started Far Cry 5 over the weekend and there's a scene really early (like 5 minutes in) where you're told to handcuff The Father of the cult you've just arrived at. If you wait it out without pressing A you and your cop buddies give up and just walk away (not sure why someone else couldn't cuff him but whatever) and the game ends, credits roll. When you actually do cuff him, he gets close to you and mutters "sometimes it's better to just walk away". Then of course all hell breaks loose, including someone throwing themselves into your chopper blades to crash the chopper/save The Father.

Some groups load tracers at the end of a magazine for that purpose, but there's no mechanical indicator of low ammo left in mag. It's an awesome mechanic that I never knock though, as it is always nice to have subtle cues that may not be realistic or diagetic but give you feedback. Same reason I like hitmarkers in shooters.

I dunno, something is just off about FC5. I played straight through 2, 3, 4, and Blood Dragon having a good time the entire game. FC5 is the first one I got half way through and entirely lost interest in.

I've only played it for like a day but I got a feeling of "poo poo there's a lot to do" when you zoom out on the map and see how much poo poo there is, and I'm worried I'll get to this point. I was the same with the other games too.

I’m surprised no one has brought up the Gunpoint achievement for hitting a person 100 times where it says no one admires you for the achievement

There is also another one where if you don't touch the controller after a certain cutscene for like 15 minutes you get an achievement, in honor of the E3 showing that hosed up.

Poor planning on their part

The characters aren't interesting, Montana is boring, and the villain is just bland.

One of the Dishwasher games has an achievement for pressing the 360 Guide button in the middle of a minigame, because that also happened at E3 once.

I've liked the characters so far and I love the new companion thing except for when they stand in doorways for no reason  Oh another little thing - You meet a guy early in the game who has you climb to the top of a radio tower so he can get a stronger signal. Here we go again, I think, remembering doing this a billion times in FC3/FC4. And then... "Oh and don't worry, I'm not going to make you run all over hell and back turning on radio towers for me, this is the only one"

Speaking of dumb cheevos, one of my favorites is Dungeons of Dreadmor's Nethack-referencing "The Dungeon Caves In", with the description "Thanks for participating in our "voluntary" beta program". The only way to get it is to have the game crash on you. (Also, all of Stanley Parable's cheevos)

Saints Row IV: Christmas DLC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teRGbK5tWdk For those who rather not waste 5 minutes watching a video: You are essentially mashing a button instead of choosing an alternate option. The game taunts you the entire time and when it's over... it did nothing and you still have to take the alternate option. You get an achievement to add insult to (thumb) injury.

I never got people’s issue with Amita. Like what was wrong with her, she wanted to finance her revolution by selling drugs, like every other rebel movement in the developing world? Oh no that totally makes her worse than Metrosexual Kim Jong-Il or the guy that wants to marry a child to institute a theocracy or whatever his deal was.
