Luigi's Mansion 3 is, in a word, a delight. What really deserves praise is how wonderfully expressive Luigi and his friends are both in cinematics and in-game. It's super polished aesthetically and very cute and funny. The voice work is minimalist (no one ever says more than like, 4 words at once) but the execution is marvelous and there are tons of little flourishes, like Luigi softly murmuring "I did it!" when he finishes climbing a ladder. It's definitely the most lovable the Mario characters have ever been. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bAdNxuKU_g&t=800s

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Unavowed is an old-school point-and-click adventure game where you play a character dealing with occult poo poo in New York. The nice thing about it is that you can die in several ways, but it's impossible to Game Over. If you die or irretrievably gently caress up, the game just fades to white and rewinds a few seconds. No needing to load a save, no "you hosed up, son" message from the game, you're just right back to playing. Quoting this to say it is a VERY good game, and has both my favorite representation of a "medium" character with the best ghost ever, but also one of the best representations of the Fey Wild I've seen. If you like point and click games this is a must-play. I finished it all in one Sunday afternoon and already want to play it again because the characters in your "party" chat with each other and I will never tire of the ten year old ghost girl asking the Jinn if ______ exists based on her knowledge of fantasy from the mobile game she makes her medium play. .Example: "Do unicorns exist?" "They have been extinct for hundreds of years." "Aw that's sad." "We killed them all because they were vicious predators who would gore anything that moves with their horns and eat the remains for fun." "...oh."

Somehow I knew this had to be a Wadjet Eye game. They've stayed out of the eye of the mainstream, but their games have an excellept reputation.

Hyrule Warriors: One of Ganondorf's strong attacks has him summoning a shadow version of his humongous pig monster form and wiping out enemies with a swing of his giant hand. It's such a crazy move that his actual special attack, a long-range lightning slash with his swords, looks rather quaint by comparison.

I wish I had the patience for HW because the sheer spectacle of it all is QUITE something. It just got really repetitive and overwhelming. Now I will return to putting another thousand hours into Warframe.

Yeah, it should be a game really enjoyed but my ADD is kinda bad so if I'm doing something repetitive, it needs to be pretty specific. Incredible looking game, no doubt.

The acting and use of FMV is phenomenal.

I've been playing games from my backlog, and right now, I'm working through Mad Max. While cruising around the wasteland, my trusty blackfinger Chumbucket frequently chirps in with local info, or warns against incoming enemy cars. As I was tearing down the highway (the parts not buried in sand dunes), I spot a Wastelander camped out on the side of the road. I stopped the car, and hopped out to chat. I don't remember the exact wording of what she said, but it was along the lines of "Enemy camps have been knocked down, War Boys have been beaten back, and you have blood on your knuckles. Surely this is your work?" Then Chumbucket chirps up from the car "It is! And don't call him Shirley!" I had a good  I also enjoy the wide variety of body types and mods you can jam together when building your Magnum Opus car. You could put together a blacked out tribute to Max's V8 Interceptor, or a bright pink and blue armoured tank on wheels that smashes other cars like toys.

In Death Stranding there's these ghost enemies in the game called BTs and they can only be injured/killed by weapons using Sam's (the main character) blood. One of the weapons is a grenade that sprays a cloud of blood when it hits and if you have a regular gun you can shoot through the cloud and hurt a BT that way.

Watching a play through of Resident Evil 3 because of the remake announce. Just realized the entire opening segment takes place during the day time. It doesn't turn night until after you leave the police station. The stark contrast of how the street looks heading towards the police station vs heading away from it later was spooky.

Zoig posted:Ring Fit has a skill tree you don't see until level 40, or about 2 weeks of playing reasonably. I love that Ring is fully animated even as he shouts encouragement during battle. If you can see his head on the in-game ring, it moves as he talks. The outside beyond the window on the title screen gets lighter and darker to match the IRL time of day. At one point you meet four masters: Allegra (legs), Armando (arms), Abdonis (abs), and Guru Andma (yoga). The first three have clever, if obvious names, but I didn't get "Guru Andma" until I saw her. She's a little old lady.

Party members are treated as separate objects in your inventory when their abilities are specific enough for you to logic out that they need to interact with something specifically. You have just played like 3 hours of basic point and click games, where you click on a door to walk through it. But you're in the land of the dead. Only the ghost can open the door for you. And she roasts you for forgetting every time. And it is always funny. There are SO many voice clips, and I made it loop at one point. I still laughed at each one.

However, if that's the case, why do you need to open doors at all? Can't you just walk through?

I wasn't sure how the semi-cooperative stuff in Death Stranding would work out, but it's actually really nice. Feels good to show appreciation for useful stuff showing up, and for folks to use the stuff you put in place (not to mention all the dumb jokey signs you can leave around)

That'll show 'em! I like the signs, too. The cheerleader one restores stamina, I like to put them on obvious approaches to mountain peaks. The happy babby sign makes BB giggle and aleviates some stress, I put those on obvious descents going back down. No peeing signs around distro centers are super true to life, one of the most disgusting things when I was in the direct-to-store delivery business was backing up to the dock and smelling old-man piss everywhere. At higher levels of connection with BB (I think, didn't notice until then), the little thing giggles when you pee.

The "no pee" sign really should apply some sort of bladder filling status effect based on how consistently useful it is, I mean people need to be reminded not to pee in all sorts of situations.

You can touch, but not influence, the environment. So, you can collide with the door, but cannot open it yourself. It's basically the equivalent of having full confidence you're walking into a Push to Open door and being very, very wrong.
