I would pay good money for a game where everyone reacted to your lack of pants, but the story progressed generally as normal. Like, they're not screaming and running away, but the enemies in cutscenes would just look at you like "what the gently caress, dude" before continuing on.

It's not in cutscenes but I'm pretty sure people in Fable would laugh at your rear end way back in 2004.

I have to get back to that game (not, um, because of that ^). I was watching supergreatfriend's LP and, when he first got to Pascal, thought, "I really need to play this myself." I stopped watching the LP, bought the game, bought a graphics card and cables so I could play the game (yes, in that order), and only got as far as the amusement park before kind of...not playing it anymore. :saddowns:

Sleeping Dogs has a lot of good outfits but I wished they were a little more...idk...practical? But maybe it's just because I'm a sucker for immersion over goofy antics so I could never find a good time to wear the Monkey King costume. :sigh:

If RPGs can have INT 1 runs then they can have pantsless runs.

In Arcanum you can get the reputation of ”Pervert of Tarant” if you keep running around in the main city wearing just your undies. If you want to become a master in the Pick Pocket skill it’s required to earn that reputation, since the guy who can train you to be a Master is a cheeky trickster.

Breath of the Wild does this if you strip Link down to his boxers. Lots of characters have unique dialogue when you chat to them swinging free as a Hylian can.

I finally beat the TraIl of the Sword DLC in Zelda BoTW. It’s 3 gauntlets of rooms of enemies, and they strip your inventory first. I also had Master Mode on, that increases the difficulty immensely. This poo poo was so loving hard, if it was anything else than the first new Zelda I have played in more than a decade I would have given up. It took me so many tries, I’m relieved it’s over. The reward is pretty interesting overall for the game.

Your master sword goes from 30 strength to 60, and its downtime when broken is significantly reduced. Most people complain about fights breaking your weapons, but the master sword comes back so fast now these fights don’t inconvenience me anymore. Now I’m mostly replacing increasingly powerful weapons that I never even used at all.

There's a brief moment in Alpha Protocol that does this. The mission plays out the same no matter how you're dressed, but the guy you meet up with in the opener has a different line to greet you depending on what you're wearing.

My favorite little thing about Alpha Protocol is that if you complete the game using the rookie background (which starts with no skillpoints), then you unlock the veteran background, which starts with skills everywhere. But not just that, it also unlocks a bunch of extra dialog options. This includes, when you arrive in the first mission area and are video chatting with your boss to get the background, you going "Yeah, I can handle this, bye" and turning off the TV set while he's going "No, wait --"

I'm just doing this as well! I'm really enjoying it, Master Mode is overall a pretty lazy "hard mode" and it's ridiculous that it was paid DLC, but I find it more enjoyable than the too-easy base game. The trials are genuinely tense and difficult, the only room I thought was stupidly balanced/badly done in Master Mode was the one near the end of the beginner trial with the two loving silver lizalfos. Had to cheese it with sneak attacks, which was stupid. Haven't beaten the final trials yet but they're inventive and a lot of fun

Morrowind actually does that if you run around naked. People are like "do you have no decency? Put some drat clothes on" but then conversations otherwise happen normally.

The Temple of Elemental Evil does basically that same thing. Possibly (it's been awhile) a few won't even talk to you at all until you put some clothes on.

The best part of a boxers only run is that you open chests by kicking them, and when you're barefoot Link still kicks hard enough to hurt his feet.

I contend that Alpha Protocol is as close to both an Archer game and a modern version of Covert Action as we are likely to get.

I really hope they bring all of this stuff back for Saints Row 5, and ditch the aliens.

A for little things, they better bring back Nolan North as a voice option along with the singalongs.

Let's Play mode: everything is as usual, but Chip Cheezum comments on the game as you play, like the Parodius installment with the announcer.

e: honestly they better just, like, write a tight script and build the game from the ground up to support it, that's all I'm asking. As opposed to cobble it together from DLC and salvaged bits from a disastrous development process and heap new code and mechanics onto that mess, loved 3 and 4 but they were what they were, y'know.

Volition genuinely seem bored by doing more 'human-level' Saints Row, so wouldn't expect them to go back to much of it.

The things they've been saying in their streams seem to suggest they're REALLY excited by what they're doing, though. So that's good, at least.

Agents of Mayhem got a little samey, but the powers were fun a pretty logical extension of SR4

Also at this point they should put Nolan North as one of the Boss options and make a Troy Baker option. Switch it up

Agents of Mayhem felt like a game where they spent all their time making characters but not enough time doing literally anything else. So there's not much of a story or content that isn't copied and pasted.

My biggest problem with Agents of Mayhem was how much stuff you're required to learn immediately. You have three different characters right off the bat and they each control slightly differently, plus there's the new map to learn and the enemy types and the customisations and upgrades and it's all just too much too quickly.

And then once you finish the tutorial and start a proper mission you realize you've seen literally everything the game has to offer already.

Something really cool I just noticed about the manual/box art in Star Trek Shattered Universe on the PS2, wherein Sulu gets stuck in the mirror universe and has to survive until he can escape (I can't get past the first level because I'm bad at space shooters due to never playing them):



The Rs are mirrored of course, that's basic, but look at the shape they form:



Looks a lot like Sulu's Excelsior. Or any starship at any rate.
