haveblue posted:The best gun/blade hybrid was Sam’s katana in MGRR, which used a blank to blast the sword out of the scabbard so he had power assist for those cool draw-becomes-slash samurai moves. You can thank Star Wars for vibrating weapons. Those axes the pig guards carry are actually vibroblades, which operate similarly to the high frequency weapons.

In the wild westworld DLC for The Surge you can get your hands on an old school hunting rifle with a bayonet. The Surge being a game with exclusively melee combat, you do not use it like a gun, it is instead swung wildly around and poked with like a spear while bullets fire off randomly in all directions every couple of swings. Naturally the bullets do big damage if they actually hit something, but most of them fly off into the stratosphere, never to be seen again.

There was a balista, not what we think of as a gun, called Domina Gunilda which was at windsor castle. Gunilda in the name comes from the womans name Gunnhildr (note same name as the queen) which is basically slamming two norse words for battles and fighting together. So FFXIV pays tribute to both parts of Gun as a words origin.

Babe Magnet posted:Specifically: Except that, as I said, regular guns (and gunblades) exist in every single style and culture in the game, including ones that predate both of these cultures and weird supernatural forms that are totally disconnected to both. Don't think about it too hard. Or do, because it's hilarious.

Casey Finnigan posted:I hate that, when you lose to a miniboss in Sekiro, most of the time they're left so undamaged it's like all you did was walk up and smack them with a paper fan. On the other hand, though, when the stars align and you can pull off a really good fight, you just deny every single one of their attacks and stomp them into the dirt. I mean, I've had my fair share of fights where I just barely won by abusing pocket sand and repeatedly lighting the enemy on fire, but kicking the absolute poo poo out of Snake Eyes Shirafuji while taking almost no damage feels great, even after you just lost that same fight 20 times in a row. A little weird that most minibosses have thus far proven to be much harder than the actual bosses. This becomes extremely apparent on NG+, when you face off against the starting enemies with a much stronger grasp of the game and can effortlessly cut them down in droves, and a seemingly unwinnable boss fight becomes very managable I can understand why a lot of people bounced off Sekiro hard, because it relies entirely on single set of mechanics with very tight expectations, but boy if they aren't well executed

BioEnchanted posted:According to the most recent God of War there is also a Valkyrie called Gunnr There was, and the etymology of gunnr is "battle" and I think the name Gunhilda has its roots in combining Gunnr and Hilda (who was also a Valkyrie) so I guess in a roundabout way it's a sensible name?

I'm playing through Sleeping Dogs again and I discovered a new way to kill people that I'd never noticed before (hang them from a chandelier) but what I'm really noticing this time is how good the emergency services systems are. When you injure somebody an ambulance is dispatched and paramedics try to resuscitate. I got into a sticky situation and accidentally pulled a hit and run on a pedestrian. While trying to evade the police I cut a sharp right and slam straight into the ambulance arriving for my victims. If they rescussitate then they go back to their NPC lifestyle, otherwise it's bodybag time. I'm also enjoying the role playing afforded by the costumes. I pulled a GTA massacre then returned to the scene of the crime a few mins later incognito:   Also it's fun to try and break missions. There's one where you need to arrive in a vehicle and whatever you arrived in is parked outside. It works fine for a city bus, next is to see if they'll park a speedboat:  E: Also there's side missions where you basically spy on people to try and catch drug dealers. Each location has a few spots where you have to hack the camera then go to one of your apartments and watch the feed to catch the guy. After you catch the main dealers in each location there's no repeat but if you want to you can still access all the cameras from your TV. You can also still call out arrests on anyone you see in frame. If you call an arrest on a random bystander there's even dialogue for it! Usually it's just "why did you want us to book this guy, he seems harmless?" but occasionally you get praised for catching a guy that nobody had a lead on (except for you apparently). Lastly, there's still nothing quite like a cutscene where Wei denies being a cop while in full uniform.

It's a very cool piece of design I think because it means when you crack a boss you destroy them quickly rather than whittling them down perfectly over 10-15 minutes.

There's an amazing feeling of progress when taking on a boss in sekiro. The moment where you switch from being on the back foot and playing purely defensively to feeling confident enough to be hyper aggressive is incredible.

The Dark Souls games were like withstanding crashing waves, and Sekiro is like learning to surf. It's a really interesting evolution in game design. Edit: Bloodborne is like fighting spindly Muppets in a tophat and doesn't quite fit into my analogy

There's a boss in Heavenly Sword where you have to literally fight waves (the boss generates them and you have to attack them to neutralize).

Looks like something right out of the old stop motion movies A further nice touch: this is only true for the Vampire Counts skeletons, which are mindless minions. The Tomb Kings, who are a faction of free-willed undead, don't do this animation syncing with any of their skeleton troops, as their skeleton soldiers are still the original soul stuffed back in their body and faithfully serving their Kings out of loyalty.

Looks like something right out of the old stop motion movies IIRC they're a direct reference to the Ray Harryhausen animation, which is why they've also got that really jerky stop motion flair to them that none of the other units have.

The wave has a baby and it’s simultaneously terrified of you and wants you dead more than anything you have ever seen before. God drat do I love the Orphan fight.
