I remember when my wife walked in while I was hunting an orca in Black Flag, that was an awkward thing to explain

I can't count how many times I've been playing a game where I've had to kill a wolf or attack dog, and my wife has heard the yelp of pain from another room.

"What the gently caress was that? What did you do to that dog?"

I haven't played Death Stranding yet (something which I plan to remedy soon), but is there seriously a pissing mechanic? I've played lots of other post-apoc games with hunger/fatigue/dehydration meters, but I don't think I've ever had to worry about how badly my character had to take a leak, or drop the kids off at the pool.

If pissing is a thing, does this mean you can do it whenever or wherever? Kill a guy, and piss on the corpse? Sneak into somebody's house and piss on the carpet? Write your name in the snow?

There is no need to piss, nothing happens if you don't piss, but you should piss whenever possible because it leaves mushrooms that grow the more players piss there

edit: You cannot piss with other people around, Sam is gun-shy and will not pull out the hog if others are present. He will tell you as much and get mad at you if you keep trying to make him unleash the beast. Writing your name in the snow is absolutely possible.

I just wanna say I thought it was neat in the first game to go through the entire game with a bow, and then in the final fight in a scripted event you get two pistols, and dual wield them and blast the last boss away. That was a pretty nicely constructed moment and I appreciated the effort into the setup and payoff there.

It was a legitimately great way to portray her finally becoming the tomb raider. Then she spent two more games still finally becoming the tomb raider.

The series will cap itself off with Lara having breast enlargement and polygonization surgery, for she will realize the ultimate tombs are the great pyramids of Egypt, and she should show her devotion by carrying them as her burden

Also if the mushrooms grow big enough, they start spawning cryptobiotes which are the game's version of food which can then be replenished by even more piss.

In other words, you are eating your own piss.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

You can also wait until you are in a private room with a toilet to pee. This will give you pee grenades. These will not kill BTs, but can be used to make them wander from their current position.

Then under their breath they will say ”dude, what the fricking hell did you just do, so not cool”.

Where the hell did the dung in those dung pies come from anyway? I'm sure if you read and cross-reference item descriptions we will find the answer.


quote:

Dried fecal waste material, moist on the inside.

Throw at enemy to inflict toxin build-up, but also ups your own toxicity.

Though the stench makes it difficult to carry on one's person, inflicting toxins on an enemy yields high damage over time. Perhaps some Undead have fond memories of waste. Or, perhaps not

quote:

"Oh to savor the sweet pungency but once more..."


quote:

Dried fecal waste material, marked by a long plant stalk that was not properly digested.

Throw behind at enemies to inflict toxin build-up, but also ups your own toxicity.

Strictly speaking, this consists of different material than the dung pie, but waste is waste, no sense in splitting hairs.


Feeling nostalgic about my toxic turds.

The big club barbarian guys drop them almost 100% when they die so I'm pretty sure your character is literally just taking the poo poo out of their asses and throwing it at other enemies. Anything it takes to survive man

Is a man not entitled to the poo poo of his rear end? “No,” says the man in Blighttown, “it belongs to the poor.” “No,” says the man in Irithyll, “it belongs to God.” “No,” says the man in Anor Londo, “it belongs to everyone.”

One of the many, many fun things about Dark Souls PvP was that Dung Pies had a splash effect that would go through walls and floors. If I invaded somebody, and they had gotten into a really good defensive spot, I could hang back and pelt the general vicinity with Dung Pies until Toxin hit, then just wave as their HP drained away. It was also great against players who would turtle behind Greatshields. 2 or 3 hits is usually all it would take. Goddamn, Dark Souls invading was some of the best fun I've ever had with a video game.

Yeah, I brought this up in the other thread but the only dual pistols you see in Rise are as an "artifact" in Croft Manor and are solely a reference to the first game.

I'm going to take a wild guess that Shadow still does not feature dual pistols.

I kind of liked that Lara was a total lunatic in the second game, at least early on. She meets a relatively friendly face in a native in a prison, and is basically just "I don't give a gently caress mate I'm here to grab that artifact and if you get in my way I'll kill you myself." "You won't make it on your own" "You have no idea how far I've come so far..." In general I like that she needs her friends to keep her human. When the bad guy in the third game claims that Jonah's dead to mess with her, she blows up his entire everything. Whoops, shouldn't have said that mate, it literally only hurt you.

Lara is in "kill'em all" mode from the start in Rise, which is honestly pretty great.

Something I like about Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is that it's boss fights are mainly puzzles that you have to figure out, compared to warrior within's skill-based and pretty hard and fun bosses, and sands of time's pretty crap "Just a normal enemy that blocks more" excuses for fights.

There's so many little things that are so dumb. Like you are a porter called Sam Porter Bridges and you deliver stuff for a company called Bridges. At one point you get an order to deliver some beer from a farm to a city. The style of beer you deliver is a porter.

Some of Hideo Kojima's stuff is so juvenile. It's really interesting, it's like he's not precious about it. He's capable of writing some really high concept stuff but he'll also write the dumbest stuff possible.

I'd say around at least 20XX. Then in 21XX we all develop fursonas.
