Another one that I really liked was when you are boating around with Mimir and he starts to tell a story, if you land the boat, he'll stop and say "But we'll pick this up again later". Then when you get back on the boat, Atraeus will get him started again, and he'll go "Now where was I? Oh right - " and continue from the last line he told. Rinse and repeat for every story. But I wouldn't be surprised if there was a break point built in after every sentence or two where Mimir can drop off and pick up again for every story that he tells. From a programming POV it's pretty simple, just put a flag after every line in the story after it's been played and the next time story time rolls around, look for the last flag. But the effect of it is really neat.

A lot of more recent games do this and I really appreciate it. I noticed it first in GTA 5, but it comes up a lot in Spider-Man too, to help restore a bit of narrative if you get interrupted while going from A to B.

The real over-the-topness in SpiderMan is that all the dialogue you can have when you get called in the open world has two version - a 'relaxed' version if you stand still to take in the scenery, and an 'exerting' version so it feels appropriate to be playing while you're swinging around or punching dudes.

Just beaten the main story of God of War. I really liked the final Baldur fight, and the sequel hook. Hoping they do another one so we can see what happens there. Besides Kratos killing another pantheon :P

Now I want the same stop and start again system but it reacts to when you get punched in the face. Having the person on the other end of the line commenting on how they heard you taking one on the jaw would be cool in small doses.

BioEnchanted posted:Wow the third character in Woody Woodpecker (Splinter)'s races are ludicrous - you have enemies that show up and alternate shooting homing missiles and blue energy pellets on top of surviving the course. However there is a trick - you can duck under the missiles just by holding duck, then you just survive the course from there. The blue energy ones are more tricky because you need to jump over their shots, but there is a specific rhythm so it's easy to "get" how to deal with it.

In God of War I really liked Baldur's attitude during the final fight - he was just having so much fun. "The wind, the snow... I'm FREEZING!  " Just so happy he could finally feel something. Forgot to mention it earlier.

Honest question, I haven't played the new GoW yet.

Honest question, I haven't played the new GoW yet. god of war 2018 ending spoilers he kills Baldr, and right on cue the Fimbulvetr kicks off. the new god of war plays it extremely loose with accepted norse mythology (pretty much everyone in the pantheon is re-written to be the same kind of frat-boy sociopath you'd see from greek myth, with the giants repurposed as a good and noble race exterminated by odin and his shithead kids), but Kratos definitively kick-starts Ragnarok by the end of the game BioEnchanted posted:In God of War I really liked Baldur's attitude during the final fight - he was just having so much fun.

It is heavily implied from a mural found near the end that Kratos is going to die and Boy is going to be involved somehow so we have that to look forward to.

When you start a new game in Observation it asks you if you want to turn on subtitles before starting the game. You can also activate subtitles that reveal the text in the same speed that its spoken instead of always dumping the whole line at you at once!

Honestly, with God of War having a frost axe and flaming blades, it follows at some point in the next game we get Thor's lightning hammer.

I just really hope that in the sequel Atreus manages to calm Freya down. Maybe by convincing her that living for vengeance is exactly what Kratos would do, and would reduce her to Odin's level. It would definitely add to the idea of him being Better than the gods that came before, simply because he can deescalate situations without murdering them.

Oxxidation posted:god of war 2018 ending spoilers I don't know that's a big re-write for the Norse pantheon, Odin and his crew were kind of sneaky assholes of dubious morality at best even in the base myths. Look at how they got their wall, or chained Fenrir, or lots of other similar bits. If you take the game's setting that Loki isn't *quite* what the myths say (not yet at least), they might be even worse in-game since they wouldn't have Loki helping/causing some of their worst tricks (maybe the myths in this setting would be them pawning off what trickery they could on Loki rather than take the blame themselves). Admittedly, God of War has obviously always taken myth as a starting point rather than perfect setting truth, seeing as how the Greeks never wrote about an angry Spartan slaughtering all of Olympus then buggering off. Though now I'm wondering if somebody's done a parody of Homer summarizing the events of the God of War series - "Sing, Goddess, of the psychotic rage of Zeus' son Kratos, that cost EVERYBODY a lot of lives..."

Following Baldur's death in the Prose Eddas, Freya goes down to the underworld and pleads with Hela for his life. She agrees to restore him to the living world only on the condition that Freya can get every single thing from all the nine realms to say something in Baldur's honor at his funeral. And sure enough Freya gathers every rock and tree and creature and spirit and animal to say something nice about Baldur... except for one random frost giant who goes "yeah gently caress 'em, I always hated that guy, glad he's dead." The deal is called off. Turns out that giant was Loki in disguise.

In Rage 2 there's a mission where you have to go to an old space center and in order to get access to what you need to do your science guy hacks the computer into thinking you're the President of the United States. After that mission when you go to unlock an Ark (pre-apocalypse tech that has stuff in it) the computer calls you "Mr President" when it opens.

In Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, what you equip changes Miriam's appearance. I'm very early in the game, not even into the castle yet, but I've found this stone mask that looks ridiculous and it makes me laugh. So far, it seems like a very solid SotN spiritual successor, and I'm loving it.
