I think pirate-head was the poison one? I just finished Okami a couple days ago, and boy it's got a lot of little things.

Persona 5: The first time Futaba used her Moral Support skill, there was a hot microsecond I thought my game was actually glitching out. It's actually really neat if you read it as her hacking the game you're actually playing.

Taerkar posted:No one actually played Daikatana. Back when it was released I played through all of it until I got to the future level at the end and the level design was so incredibly confusing, your partner AI a completely liability, the weapons more likely to kill you than the enemies, and the difficulty such irritating poo poo that I just stopped. Like two years ago I applied a fan patch and decided to go through it. I finished it. It was still poo poo. There's a community of people that swear by it though, and things like weapons with massive splash AoE that can't be used in 90% of the game's cloistered environments without murdering you is not a sign of idiotic design but your lack of skill in what is a hardcore FPS gamer's shooter. Also literally level 1 is a level with poison enemies, tiny flying enemies, tiny enemies on the ground that poke your feet, a gun that hurts you when you shoot it under water in a level with a ton of water, and so on. It starts off with the most annoying possible level design. Here are some little things I guess are actually good about it. - The massive variety of settings was pretty neat at the time, so was the huge arsenal, even if most of it caused you to kill yourself or otherwise was bizarrely useless. - The idea of an FPS with light RPG mechanics was novel, too bad it was completely uninteresting in execution. - AI partners in a campaign FPS? Pretty drat cool. Also they would get gibbed by doors, fall off ladders and die, get stuck in pits or level geometry, break elevators by somehow causing them to not trigger anymore when they used them, use the dumbest loving weapons, kill themselves or you or get killed by you, and just generally got in the way. - Multiplayer is a hilarious clusterfuck of insanely overpowered weapons.

I've said it before but having Flying Wild Hog do a Daikatana remake on the same level as Shadow Warrior would be the tits. Also I always loved the fact that both the main character and the villain were using the same titular time-dislocated sword, so having them clash would create a temporal paradox and destroy the universe. That's so stupid yet  as gently caress.

John Murdoch posted:I've said it before but having Flying Wild Hog do a Daikatana remake on the same level as Shadow Warrior would be the tits. Daikatana is basically John Romero developing the shooter that every twelve year old boy imagines in their head as the greatest game ever. It's just insanely excessive and stupid in every possible way. Also the casual racism is mindboggling. The black AI partner's name is "Superfly Johnson" and you break him out of, you guessed it, prison. When you die in the game and leave the death screen up the AI partners will say poo poo in response. I can't remember it verbatim, but one of those voice clips is Superfly saying: "OH GOD NO HIRO IS DEAD! I'll take his shoes though." Stupidest poo poo ever, dude so stereotypical he steals the shoes off his dead friend's body. He does refer to turning people into "rear end-dust" though which is one of the dumbest yet funniest threats I've heard in a game.

That's mainly because handhelds have caught up with home consoles, so the Vita (and Switch technically) could get the regular versions of some big-name games.

The sequel's OK, it's not as focused as the first game and I remember not really being as sure why I was fighting these guys. The first one, though, is an absolute gem and pretty much the definition of "way better than it has any right to be".

The sequel is more varied in terms of environment and i’m enjoying the setpieces more. Also i found it funny that the first game ends with riddick in a timesplitters 2 cortez sci-fi suit grimly monologuing to himself as he flies away from the bad guys while ts2 cortez was a direct imitation of riddick in the first place and ended his game doing the exact same thing(albeit years earlier)

Cleretic posted:Something I've wanted for ages, although I know it'd be pointless, is this sort of thing for the original Final Fantasy, including mechanics. The currently-available version on smartphones is fantastic, but the layers of changes they've made over the half-dozen remakes and ports and ports of remakes means that it almost isn't even the same game anymore. I'd love to be able to start the game with a checklist of something like 'NES graphics and game balance, current remake bugfixes, PSX music, no bonus dungeons, GBA script' and just go. I don't know why they took the difficulty selection out of the FF1 remakes after the PS1 version. The normal difficulty has all the UI and ease-of-life tweaks but keeps the old spell system and a bunch of stuff that keeps the game semi-balanced. Then every subsequent version just makes everything easy mode, including the GBA port that's just the PS1 with a bunch of bonus dungeons. Also the GBA version of FF2 makes the leveling system less punishing, but way more of a pain in the rear end to grind if you get stuck (you will get stuck). Since this is the good games thread I'll say that Final Fantasy Origins on PS1 is really cool because it updates the games but leaves the fun janky NES mechanics intact.

I can't quite figure out what: Case 1 the killer or victim are but. I assume something music related for Kaede. I haven't found out anything about stripe shirt but he looks like an x Case 2 his is a giant block x while the maids is thing and slim Case 3 I don't know what gimpsuit is but it kind of looks like fire surrounding the picture Case 4 haven't seen the killer yet but Miu is xxx for her potty mouth

1-800-255-3700 It's the phone number I use whenever I'm testing if my phone has been activated, and I remember being in church as a kid and wandering the halls, finding a phonebooth, and calling this number over and over, navigating the phone tree. Around 1998 or so, pokemon era. "Welcome, and thank you for calling, Nintendo!"

I just finished Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, and there's a little thing in the ending that I just absolutely loved. So Geralt's sitting with a friend after the events of the DLC, which can either be good or bad (but in my case were good). By now, you've been playing the game for probably quite some time, have seen Geralt go through some poo poo and stop some plots, but right now they're just relaxing, talking about the future, and sipping booze. His friend says something to the effect of "After all that's happened, after all we've done, I think we deserve a bit of rest." and Geralt pauses for a moment, and replies with "That we do." The he just sort of raises his eyes to look at the game's camera, a faint, wry smile on his face, because he's definitely looking at you, the player (the friend is off to the side). Normally, I don't like that sorta joke, it's corny. But this wasn't a joke, it was sort of...a shared moment with the player, so to speak. Like, yeah, you've done so much as Geralt, you've beaten so many enemies and forces of evil. I don't know why, but that little glance made me smile like an idiot, it felt like the perfect capstone to the entire game that I had played for 100+ hours (I did pretty much everything), frustrations and victories all.

In Firewatch at one point you come across a place called Pork Pond and your character notes there's no signpost for it like the rest of the park. Your supervisor says due to the name signs kept getting stolen so they don't bother putting them up anymore. End game spoiler: In Delilah's office at the end of the game I spotted a sign for Pork Pond over her desk
