Judgment has Phoenix Wright-style sequences where you’ll be questioning someone and can show evidence you’ve found, selected from a list, to prove or disprove a point in the conversation. One thing I like is that they actually wrote unique dialogue for every piece of evidence, instead of just one generic line for wrong evidence, where the other person specifically shoots down each wrong choice. I just had one where I didn’t make the connection the game wanted me to between the conversation and the evidence and got like a 10-minute scene where Tak fumbled through explaining why the guy was guilty while the suspect called me an idiot in 8 different ways which was pretty comical

That's the one pointless level in the campaign where you kill some beatles, to compensate for having to grind for forty hours in the multiplayer just to unlock Luke.

In Far Cry: New Dawn, one of the allies you can recruit is a dog. He rides in the passenger seat and sticks his head out the window when you drive a car, and in the sidecar when you ride a motorcycle. Also the "talk" prompt is replaced by "pet"

All games where you can approach an animal and pet them is automatically the best game.

It’s getting to a point where every indie game lets you pet a dog/animal/animate object just so they can get a shoutout by @canyoupetthedog Which is a win-win scenario, really. https://twitter.com/canyoupetthedog/status/1135928216269598722 https://twitter.com/canyoupetthedog/status/1158818379094011905 https://twitter.com/canyoupetthedog/status/1133406857257791488 Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 07:49 on Aug 18, 2019 |

One thing I like is that they actually wrote unique dialogue for every piece of evidence, instead of just one generic line for wrong evidence, where the other person specifically shoots down each wrong choice. Along the same vein: fights in the street can crash through windows into stores and restaurants, and usually trying to shop there after the fight just has the cashier scream at you to get out. There’s a skill called “Blame Transference” that lets you shop even after wrecking the place up, but instead of just leaving the default dialogue like most games would probably do they wrote unique lines where the shopkeeper acknowledges the fight but lets you shop anyway. My favorite is a foreign-born convenience store clerk with imperfect Japanese who enthusiastically greets you with “Oh! Karate Boy! Welcome!!”

as someone who is always happy for more luigi representation, i think it was very nice of mario vs rabbids to make him and his rabbid counterpart bar-none the best characters in the game sure they're a bit on the fragile side but that doesn't matter much when luigi can plug you four times per turn from a zip code away, rabbid luigi can suck out your life force with a headbutt, and both of them skitter around the map like fleas on a hot griddle

Sure you can meticulously plan out a stealthy assault on a base, take down your opponents like a silent, dark predator from the shadows. Or you can equip your rocket fist and just drive a truck through a crowd of patrolling soldiers, leap out and fire your explosive hand at the first guy to scream, hop on a cargo crate and ride it off into the sky before anyone knows what happened. Or you can just steal a tank. Almost every issue can be solved with enough tanks.

Well, that sounds more like my thing. Maybe I'll check it out after all, assuming you can skip through the story. The combo of stealth sneakin' and, um, ample dialogue and cutscenes has kept me off of the series in general.

I had a hell of a time S Ranking that near the last level where you have to work your way through 3 heavily patrolled depots, before I realized the ranks there are based pretty much solely around time and just air dropped a tank in and just drove it straight down the middle, cleared it in no time that way

You can only do the fun stuff after many tedious hours of sneaking around to get enough resources and stuff.

Aphrodite posted:You can only do the fun stuff after many tedious hours of sneaking around to get enough resources and stuff. This is super false. Sure some of the more wacky arms are found later in the game but you can very much go balls to the wall with your dog buddy who slits people’s throats his own knife at like hour three if we’re counting the intro. And there are very very few sections where you have to sneak. As mentioned before you can totally get an S ranking by killing everyone you see as long as you do it quick. Edit: Better yet, if you get it on the PC you can have your helicopter blasting any song you have on your PC as you have it rocket strafe bases or patrols. Nothing beats having your helicopter blow people up to the majestic sounds of Land Down Under. moosecow333 has a new favorite as of 01:57 on Aug 19, 2019 |

Meticulous stealth runs can be fun and cool; but there's a few missions where you can just screw stealth or any real planning, drop a tank on some guys and just blow everything up to your satisfaction. Or, if you've played the mission before, know where the objective NPC will spawn in from, ride your horse down there, plant a landmine, ride away then watch from a distance as their car rolls in across the border and explodes. Aphrodite posted:You can only do the fun stuff after many tedious hours of sneaking around to get enough resources and stuff. That's only if you want to obsessively research everything. You can run around with a water pistol spraying dudes in the face and tackling them to the ground extremely early on. Shoot a man, steel his jeep and crash it into an electrical outpost, only to then find out that men standing in puddles get electrocuted and suddenly snake is a murderer.

Or that your non-lethal run failed because a dude you hit with a tranquilizer shot fell face first in a puddle and oops. But yeah, you can be stealthy, or run and gun and it's all good. It's also highly re-playable, once you've unlocked more advanced equipment and all the drop zones and so on. There's at least one or two missions that are somewhat difficult the first time around (Depending on how you play them), but you can replay later with and get S Ranks on by never leaving the helicopter and just minigunning the gently caress out of them from the new LZ that may not have been available the first time.

The whole game is, to give light spoilers, about becoming the villain. Lean into it and it not only thematically fits, but you get to play third person far cry where you drop missiles on a base to kill everyone in it, get rewarded for doing it, then clean off the stragglers with a grenade launcher while your chopper plays Kids In America as it guns down anybody you aren't exploding yourself

i still remember the really awful mission where you have to ride all across afghanistan stopping like 7 different enemy convoys. but! you could have your horse poop in the road, the driver gets out, you abscond with the tank, and the fact that you got the NO TRACES bonus means that you can get an S rank without even worrying about the other 6 convoys or whatever.

It's a proper Splinter Cell through and through if you want to play it stealthy. There's even an entire branch of side-levels that are pure classic zero-alarm-permitted Splinter Cell. Double Agent's pretty decent too (The PS2/Xbox version is far better than the X360 version though). Conviction is the only real bad Splinter Cell game.
