Well I finish putting down apples, and when no Korok comes out I turn around and my horse is eating all the offerings behind me. In Transistor there is a dedicated hum button. It has no practical application, but as long as you hold it down, Red will hum along to the background music. It’s cool, but it’s also a sad reminder of what she’s lost. She used to be a world-famous singer, but the Camerata took away her ability to speak or sing. Now she can only hum.

In Digimon World: Data Squad, there is a Salamon that keeps track of your in-game statistics and achievements. That's always super cute, but Yoshino mocks it when you first meet, calling it a "stalker". If you trade it 40 digi-eggs, it gives you a Holy Ring, allowing Yoshino's Digimon to become a Salamon itself. What a power move.LIVE AMMO ROLEPLAY posted:I liked Arkham Knight enough to play through again on the max difficulty straight away. I can see myself enjoying Arkham Knight the most simply because people seem to dislike it so much. That's usually a good gauge for whether I'll enjoy any given game. It may be one of the few Triple A titles I need to keep an eye out for.

I mostly disliked it because I spent 60 bucks on it and it didn't work on my PC and I had to get a refund, so I assume that if they fixed that part it's a perfectly fun game.

I actually didn't mind the Batmobile stuff, though I gave up on getting all the achievements because no way in hell am I winning the races. That said, after playing through Asylum again the combat is sorely lacking. I keep messing up combos trying to do stuff from muscle memory that isn't in the game yet. City and the latter games add a tonne of quality of life stuff as they go

Yeah, I can't defend the fact that the game didn't work. That's one of the very few things I won't go to war over. If you buy a game, it should technically function properly.

Olaf The Stout posted:City > Asylum > Origins > Knight for me. I could've made exactly this post, except in Origins, I didn't feel like combat was loose, but you really did have to alter your tactics from the previous games. I think the windows were just shorter for any action, and the enemies were a bit more aggressive. Like in Asylum and City, you could whip out your bat cape to get out of a jam with a huge window of opportunity, but that just doesn't work so well in Origins. The difference was so jarring and I hated it at first, but once I resigned myself to re-learning how to fight, it felt almost as tight as ever. I just say almost because the game was just glitchy everywhere when I played it - dunno what's fixed. Best story, you're right, and best bosses imo.

I just couldn't accept the combat changes in origins. I loved the combat so much in City that I cleared all the combat room challenges, and then eventually bought the DLC that was an endless fight room with infinitely respawning enemies so I could thrash forever. You're totally right about several moves in Origins being nerfed and the timing windows on the finer points of combat being totally changed. I just never learned to flow nearly as well as City, and even in Knight I was way better at the combat than in Origins. Best boss of the series is still Freeze for me, although saying it is Deathstroke is a totally respectable opinion.

The first time I fought Quite in the sniper battle she kept doming me, but she never saw that resupply package about to land on her head until it was too late. . The hosed up part of MGSV is there is no way to start a fresh game unless you delete your entire save file. You can back it up to a flash drive and save it that way, but my god why is extra hardware required for such a simple operation on a 7th generation console.

Gonna chime in and say that, yeah, you should be able to have bad fictional people say bad things. If anything, the villains in the Arkham games are much kinder than actual bad people.

People's tolerance levels are gonna vary on this though and if they really can't handle it thats ok. We all come from different backgrounds and sometimes you just can't handle that in your escapist fantasy right now or ever.

I said my piece, but I understand why other people may feel differently. As long as it makes sense in-universe, it's cool by me. If it's not cool by you, I'm not going to fight you to death over it, since we have a fundamental disagreement. No harsh feelings were intended or felt. I'm going to duck out before this becomes a huge derail, but I hope nobody ends up getting hurt over this.

I feel like the important part of this to me would be the proportion of the sexist/otherwise realistically hateful dialog talking about the same person. If that comment about Harley is just one of many things the prisoners say about her, that's probably a little more digestible, especially if some of the other lines are quite respectful of her. It shows that it's not an opinion held by the developers or writers, it's just a view that exists in the world. From what I recall, though, while there's respect among at least a few of the prisoners for Harley, their chatter about Catwoman is bad.

Harley does not get treated well by the series at all. The gameplay/setting/visuals are great in the Arkham games but the writing is pretty bad.

Digimon Masters has a function that lets you hide the HUD to take better screenshots. I have taken 156 screenshots because of this feature. This is apparently a common things in MMOs, so I guess this "little thing" extends to any MMO with that feature, but it's especially nice in a game where I want to take pictures of my little monster pet thing.

Turning the HUD on and off manually is fine, but HUDs that fade out after a while are terrible. You shouldn't have to fire your gun or switch weapons to find out how much ammo you have left.

By coincidence I just replayed Transistor and it's just as gorgeous visually and aurally as I remembered. There is one time the hum button does something, though- late in the game you arrive onstage at a theater where the audience is made of enemies. If you hum at this point, they will respond with something that resembles applause.
