Still trying to get a feel for how much I like Hitman 2, but I was very pleased to win the first mission by tossing a jar of spaghetti sauce at the assassination target, who fell over in surprise and immediately drowned

There's something kinda nice about keeping a pair of floating carriers in your truck in Death Stranding. Cant get a big load of supplies all the way with the Truck? Park it, unpack and load the Carriers, hike the cargo the rest of the way.

In Fallen Order your little robot rides on your back and hides behind you and sometimes if you're standing there it pokes its head over your shoulder and looks around. And also https://gfycat.com/consciousbelovedkob

Respawn continued their streak of good AI companions on this one. BD is one of the few star wars droids in a game where you actually feel like you can C-3P0 it and understand what they're saying, it's amazing. It works entirely off of tones and body language.

After that the pilot scrambles out of it and starts panic firing at you.

I'm blasting through it in a really dry matter so I can do the weird poo poo later.

I ended up putting it on hold for now after getting in a cycle of just repeatedly failing the next training missions. I still love the setup, and it's great when your crazy plan works out, but something's just not clicking for me in getting my plans to work without just suddenly collapsing into chaos when somebody looks at me wrong. I'll give it another try, but it may just end up being one that's more fun to watch somebody more talented play.

They don't hold you hand, but they really nudge you towards interesting things. Plus you earn unlocks in mission to change things up.

There are some quirks that do take trial and error so once you figure those out, you're golden. My #1 suggestion is to not worry about doing a pure ghost playthrough. Even if you get engaged in combat, you can slip away, grab a new disguise and try something else. Also, thrown non-lethal objects are the most powerful tools. Bricks, crowbars and cans of soda are your friends.

I'll give it another try once I'm done Jedi-ing around. I definitely don't have a feel for what's not suspicious to run around with, I lusted after the crowbar every time but was too cautious to actually pick it up

Every item that illegal for your current disguise will have a really obvious red exclamation mark on it. But that changes per costume, not really per location. If a security guard can have a gun, they can always have a gun in all places guards can access.

There's a cute thing in the final room of Gnasty's loot in Spyro Reignited. In the original game it just had a giant picture of him at the back wall, but in the reignited version it's also got scattered fanmail strewn everywhere on the floor, a vault that you can't open that simply says "Keep Out" with a silhouette of spyro's head, and a bunch of motivational posters saying things like "Patience.... is for dragons" and "You don't need to be the best... you just need to destroy everyone else!"

Yeah, IMO Gnasty was the best of the trilogy's bad guys. Even his fight was much different than the other two, and actually made you feel powerful in a way since you really only had to hit him 2 times (or was it 3? I don't remember if you also need to hit him before you chase him in the circuit). vvv e: agreed on all counts Zanzibar Ham has a new favorite as of 13:33 on Nov 16, 2019 |

He also had the best motivation, as the other dragons were being TOTALLY poo poo for no reason, calling him out live on the air with ad hominem attacks calling him stupid and ugly, which is just mean. At least Spyro threw him a bone during the ending by admitting he was a worthy opponent. I like to think Spyro learned from that experience not to be mean for no reason. At least the Sorceress and Ripto started it. I also like that it bigs up Gnasty from the moment you arrive on his doorstep, every dragon you save in Gnasty's world is the first one you saved in each homeworld. They tried to stop him while you were getting there, they just failed. I also always thought that Heroes Tail made him too stupid. He's reactive, he's thoughtless, but he's not really dumb, more of a classical bully figure. Heroes Tail swung too far in a boring direction. Although I overall did enjoy it.

Pokemon Sword and Shield uses British English instead of American English, because the game is set in Pokemon's version of the UK. It was just such a weirdly sweet thing to notice that the player's mother is called 'Mum'.

It's been coming up over in the main thread, but one of the nicest little touches in Fallen Order is the sheer amount of battle dialogue for stormtroopers and other imperials, covering any number of scenarios. Bravado and taunts if you're heavily outnumbered, switching over to concern or amazement as you whittle them down, til the last one standing just shouts in a panic. Lots of good jokiness too, proclaiming that they have the high ground, or asking for just a second while they struggle to get their weapon reloaded. I think my favorite was the unexpected switch to an uncertain "...maybe we shouldn't be shooting him?" from the trooper blasting me with multiple RPG rounds as I just stood there trying to get down the timing for Force pushing the rounds out of the way. e: Ugly In The Morning posted:I love how when you're learning to wall run, if you gently caress up, your jedi master tells you "Faster, more intensity!".

Someone from the Bureau in Control had the idea of making a kids' show with puppets to introduce their way of life to the children of their agents, albeit with only a small budget and doing most of the work themselves. The end result is a spot on creepypasta video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ick9sTYT9jc

In Death Stranding, I just returned to a safe house after trudging through a snowy mountain, more or less lost. Had Sam take a shower and noticed that his toes and fingers were blackened from frostbite...hopefully not permanently. Makes me feel sorry for the guy

The water in the shower drain also becomes tinted based on what kind of goop you're covered in. Blood and BT tar mix to make a murky brown even. If you spend an extremely long time out carrying stuff, the bruises on Sam's shoulders will be tinted purple. The attention to detail for what is basically a 20 second cutscene of Norman Reedus naked is just crazy.

Ring Fit Adventure is the most ludicrously fine-tuned skinner box I've ever experienced. It's astonishingly difficult to resist the urge to pick the game up for a quick session. The game turns doing squats into an urge.

Here's a little something and also a request for other examples of this - One of my favorite games on the Gamecube was PSO. The first area's boss is this dragon, nothing too special during the fight really (except I think it could burrow underground, kinda weird for a dragon thinking about it). However, when I first managed to defeat it, while celebrating as its body fell, I noticed that I somehow also died. Turns out I got squished by its toppling corpse. Oops! Even my kid self with worse anger issues than now found it hilarious at the time. What are some other games where you can die due to the corpse of the boss falling on you, or its death-flails or what-have-you? Now I'd want to differentiate between mindless death-flails/collapsing and a directed final 'gently caress you' attack. Examples of the latter are IIRC most bosses in Rondo of Blood, and the one boss in Ys Oath in Felghana that tries to suck you in and explode violently when you defeat it. If the boss is intentionally trying to kill you with its last breath then it doesn't count for me.

RE4 the Gigantes can kill you by falling on you when they die. They also have a flail and might kill you animation if you kill one the alternate way but not sure if that counts.
