I guess a good barometer of how well balanced Action Henk is that I beat the final boss by 00.00.01 seconds. edit, I also like that there's a trophy called RAGE QUIT for alt-f4ing mid-way through a level. Necrothatcher has a new favorite as of 12:29 on Jul 31, 2019 |

I'm very late to Horizon: Zero Dawn, and I'm enjoying the multitude of small details and fun little moments but my overall favourite little thing is Aloy's insane wall jump action. Eat poo poo Skyrim horses, nobody needs you anymore, I can get all the insane hill-hopping I want from my new future caveperson bff.

Otherwise Aloy has no idea what to do with it. Some kind of conditioning that Rost baked into her growing up, I guess.

I've started playing Eternal Ring, one of From software's PS2 games from before Dark souls, and I really like the soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-T05NVFz1A

I knew what track it would be before I even saw the link. Good luck, have fun, don't forget to do the locked extra dungeon. My favorite thing in Eternal Ring was honestly just creating all the different rings and looking at my sparkly achievements.

I don't actively hate the color coding of environments but it feels really childish when compared to games that take the time to craft the lighting to naturally guide you. Then again, sometimes I'm tired and just want to spin around and spot the closest turquoise ledge or whatever.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 has a new beat-em-up mode which is showcased in the story as Sasuke murdering several rooms worth of innocent samurai.

That's still pointing it out, just in a less jarring way because the entire environment is artificial. I was never mad about the guided platforming in HZD because the game doesn't treat the question of whether Aloy can make the jump as interesting, it's not supposed to be a challenge. The platforming segments are there mostly to add verticality to the environments which is always appreciated in a game that looks that good.

This isn't a knock against Horizon. I mean I don't expect every game to be as open and free with exploration as Breath of the Wild but going from one to the other and not being able to get over a wall or something is really jarring.

The slow, deliberate animation and rumbling when you open a big barred door and create a new shortcut in Sekiro is nicely dramatic.

Ledges with red lights can't be climbed onto (usually too far or too high), green ones you can I was actually thinking about DOOM as a good example. It's pretty obvious but makes sense for the industrial/scientific theme. I think my favorite was probably Left 4 Dead. While the levels are basically fancy hallways, the lighting always shows you where the next objective is. Since it's easy to get turned around during a rush, they did an excellent job of designing the lights to be easy to spot and they send a clear message while also looking natural.

Final Fantasy 15 is pretty cool, one of the smallest thing I loved about the game is that one of your buddies cooks for the group when camping out and they look really good. The small thing about it though is that he gets ideas for new recipes when you eat at restaurants but he doesn't just copy what he just ate, the food he makes is named different and looks different from what they ate before. So it feels like he's making these new recipes as improvements or changes instead of just copy/pasting what was at the restaurants. Also like I said before the food looks pretty great

I love that they had the attention to detail to include crumbs and spots of sauce and grease in the dish—that really goes a long way to making it not look artificial.

That entire quest is one of my favorite things in XV. One of the English voice actors (I think Noctis') straight up admitted they did two takes of the quest. One where they acted it straight faced. And one where they are very clearly aware of how stupid the whole thing is. And it's preeeetty obvious which one they used in the game.

It starts off with Gladio sounding exactly like a nissin cup noodle commercial and its downright hilarious. Like he literally stops you and starts talking about the virtues of cup noodles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9PN8pzSn2Q Edit: Also the fact that you have a friend who can cook 5 star meals and you have him cook some cup noodles.

The Hell levels don't have the green railing lights, but they come late enough in the game that you've almost certainly figured out the limits of your jumping and climbing so you don't need the helping hand anymore. DOOM 2016 is just really well designed.Zanzibar Ham posted:I also seemed to notice that sometimes a ledge slathered with blood meant it could lead somewhere? But I might have just imagined it. Those ones tend to lead to secrets, since they don't stand out as much as a big green light.
