I'm playing through Arkham Knight again because I love it. I probably should post this in dragging games down thread but I actually laugh when this happens so it's going here instead. When you're creeping around and need to get into a vent or whatever, Batman rips the cover off the vent. This thick steel, bolted to the wall/floor vent cover. I'm on board when he's behind one and has to kick/push it out with his feet but when he just rips it off with his hands it always gives me a chuckle.

He can also do it quietly enough that patrolling guards don't notice.

That was a direct response to the button mashing they had in previous titles, AFAIK, although it does lead to another little thing - Batgirl, Batman, etc, all just rip the grates off, but Catwoman can't despite being the professional thief! She even grumbles about it during the campaign at one point, saying she always forgets her screwdriver.

Did Arkham Knight Batgirl's move set have anything unique to it? I'm don't recall if she did. She's supposed to have more hacking skills, but Batman already had all those tools. She had no unique gadgets, and I don't remember unique moves. Azrael was I think just Batman, but with harder predator challenges more focused on avoiding mistakes and using tools than performing certain tasks. Red Hood was silly because he had the most powerful gadet of all: loving guns. Using them would fire a barrage that was supposed to leave you vulnerable, but you could cheese a lot of predator challenges by sitting on a gargoyle and shooting guys. The AI wasn't equipped to deal with it, and challenge objectives didn't disallow it too much. Also, medics could just revive guys you gunned down like they were e punched out.

Batgirl's hacking was different in her mini campaign, but for the challenge battles she was just as powerful, just as quick and had just as many gadgets as the big guy.

The enemies don't stop spawning until you get hit.

OG Arkham Asylum has a couple challenges in the PC version with infinite enemies, or at least until you drop your combo or something? I know the Joker is in one of them and you can beat his rear end and after that he stops commentating, which is a little thing in games in itself.

Arkham city had a DLC course that was an unlimited combat arena any character could do. Batman ended up being the best by far, as he was the only character of 4 that had a move to destroy enemy weapons. Everyone else ended up in a swarm of hundreds of enemies with hundreds of weapons that could club the hell out of you.

Ah ok, maybe my memory is faulty. I never played the PC version but I'm pretty sure I played the Arkham City DLC. Or at least some of it. Either way, the Azrael challenges were great! Your combo could get absolutely astronomical.

Also phone posting and I don't know if it goes here anyway but I was playing the game and went into settings where I noticed the game was on low for everything. It being 2018 and me playing on a real computer and not a lovely laptop barely running it I changed it to Ultra High.  on the graphic quality

So Assassin's Creed: Odyssey has leveled gear, where your gear gets worse the further from your enemy's level/your level it is. It also has armor sets that give bonuses when you wear them all together. You get the pieces of these armor sets piecemeal, scattered across hours of playtime and many levels. But, when you get the last piece of an armor set, every other piece is automatically leveled up to your current level while keeping any modifications you've put into them.

Safeword posted:Socrates in AC Odyssey is a magnificent troll. He isn't presented as a humble wise man, mysteriously guiding you - he's presented as someone with Hot Takes and intentionally contradictory statements, just to drive you up the wall. Even the most polite responses to him are delivered with gritted teeth. Given that eventually the Athenians got sufficiently fed up with his poo poo that they voted to have him killed, this may be the most historically-accurate depiction of Socrates yet.

Probably because something like 'looking up' can just be an eye movement, which isn't obvious to a player. People would call it bullshit and get mad. The Batman examples are pretty funny though, I could imagine a henchman going 'Wow that's like the third time that vent covering has fallen out today!' and just going about their business.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:I seem to recall the intent with HR was that you'd get additional experience with stealth because you needed additional experience when going stealthy; while it's relatively easy to pop up and shoot some dudes in the face, there's more skills that inform your ability to sneak around, thus more stuff to spend EXP on. This predictably runs into trouble with many gamers' need to maximize their advantages. They tried to get things a little bit back to how they were in DX1 for Mankind Divided. Like how you could get around the final fight by finding Marchenko's kill switch.

I've been playing La-Mulana 2, and some of the traps are really rather impressive. There's a room with a bat flying around that's likely to knock you out of your jump, sending you down to a lower room. And in that lower room is a single tile of spikes, placed where you're most likely to land. The spikes in turn bounce you to a third lower room, which has a slope that slides you down to a fourth room and onto more spikes. So basically a single mistake takes you on a miniature tour of pain. I appreciate that attention to detail.
