Sunset Overdrive's movement system is amazing once you've unlocked everything. Especially compared to SR4 since you actually have to engage with it rather than just jumping over everything. I wasn't a fan of the humour bit the actual gameplay is top notch.

Prototype is better than SR4 because the way the jump is handled. You press the button and continue to rise until you let go or hit the limit of your jump. In SR4 you charge the jump and pray it was enough. It sucks.

Oxxidation posted:sleeping dogs' entire last act was hilariously unfinished Don't forget the dating subplots that don't go anywhere. You go on two dates with Emma Stone where the dialog references another date that never actually happened and then you never see or hear from her again. Same thing with the other dating options where it comes off as half baked because there's so little there.

They also have clothing with a “ladykiller bonus” which does nothing, beyond making you post on the internet to ask what the bonus does.

Also recommending Sunset Overdrive for fans of goofy open world games. It really does feel like a lost Saint's Row game at times with the wacky weapons and humor. It's also probably the most punk game I've played since the Tony Hawk games.

My dream game would be a Tony Hawk/Saints Row mashup. Claim territory by tricking off enough objects in it, then do a grind-by shooting on some rival gangsters.

Thats almost sunset overdrive, except instead of claiming territory you do it to dodge bullets and build a combo that activates cool poo poo.

You'd love Sunset Overdrive because it is basically that. Only instead of claiming territory via sick tricks you get power ups and instead of doing grindbys on gangsters it's mutants that drank a tainted energy drink instead, and the weapon selection is right out of the Ratchet and Clank series only with the batshit insanity turned up to 11, like a gun that shoots exploding teddy bears or a sprinkler system that sprays acid. Your first gun is a blunderbuss that sets dudes on fire, oh and it looks like a dick and balls. wafflemoose has a new favorite as of 18:18 on Feb 16, 2020 |

Haha, it's always fun to discover my mental image of a game is completely wrong. In this case knowing nothing beyond the name "Sunset Overdrive" and a vague feeling that's it's just another crime game, when it turns out to be a post-"awesomepocalypse" setting with stuff likewafflemoose posted:a gun that shoots exploding teddy bears or a sprinkler system that sprays acid.

More people need to play my favourite Tony Hawk game, American Wasteland. You trick off things so that you break them off and take them to a formerly vacant lot that becomes the Ultimate skatepark, the titular American Wasteland. I love watching AW gradually grow and seeing how all the different items get incorporated into the parks overall design. Also it has a great story that shows why the whole "gently caress the man!" thing on it's own is insufficient. It's one thing to say it and do petty damage, but eventually The Man will come in with more money than you and steamroll you, so the ending involves beating them at their own game by buying the land yourself because now it's profitable due to the skate park you built the owner of the land has taken an interest in using it after years of ignoring it..

Convex posted:I like how the girlfriend sub missions confirm Wei Shen is an irredeemable psychopath, especially when one of them points it out and he gets really confused I think this was also well shown through gameplay. One of your missions is basically stalking someone you dated and you catch her with another guy. When you confront her she turns it around and points out how you’re doing the same thing by going on dates with multiple girls. The real kicker is that after the mission ends the person who breaks up with you is still right in front of you and everyone I’ve seen play that part (including myself) immediately attacks her in some way. Granted, I’m sure there are also people who walked away without harming her, but the game seemed to be egging you on to commit an act of violence in a fit of rage.

Convex posted:I like how the girlfriend sub missions confirm Wei Shen is an irredeemable psychopath, especially when one of them points it out and he gets really confused Personally I died laughing the DLC Year of the Snake after the main game had Shen, who had run rampant through Hong Kong and gotten his superior busted, rewarded by being busted down to beat cop. Didn't stay that way of course, but the opening cutscene had me cackling, especially since you could see on Shen's face when he was stuck writing tickets and handling arguments how much he wanted to be killing those people  . The fact it was the DLC that introduced the cop uniforms to wear undercover in the main game was just icing on the cake.Sleeping Dogs as a whole really did a good job evoking the thematic feel they wanted; I still remember one of the last plot missions leaping over cover in slow motion in a massive firefight and realizing it really was the action finale of a Hong Kong flick I was in. Though MAN was Shen vicious with his kung fu, though I suppose listening to his teacher mock his students I can see where that came from.

Forget Prototype, it’s just a poser that copied its movement style from Hulk Ultimate Destruction. It’s criminal that there hasn’t been another goofy Hulk game. To infiltrate a military base you smash a truck over Hulk so he can waddle in like it’s a goddamn MGS cardboard box. Hulk very good at stealth.

I still maintain that Sleeping Dogs has one of the best radios every in an open world game. Maybe even the absolute best. It had some fantastic songs for driving through a moody, rain-slicked Hong Kong night.

The GameCube controller has so many good ideas but it’s so small. If it was 50 percent bigger it would be perfect. It’s a real problem with Nintendo controllers, the split joycons are unusably small for me. Yes, I loved the original Xbox controller, why do you ask?

RyokoTK posted:Sleeping Dogs is a fuckin great game that really found the ideal balance for a GTA-style open world game. The brawling was awesome, the shooting worked well and the parkour and driving were fun too. Plus it had a solid story that didn’t try to own the player with lame gotchas like GTA5. It also has a mission where you mess with the feng shui of a character named Two Chins in order to make him believe that his house is haunted.
