I've been playing Sunset Overdrive and I like how in game they play around with the idea that it is all a videogame. Like early on you meet a guy who pulls a gun on your character, you reply that you have guns too and it flashes the weapon wheel on screen and you both look at it for a second.

Rune Factory 4's romance system is the best in harvest moon like games, hell I'd say better then most games with a dating system that isn't a dedicated dating sim. In all these games hooking up was the end state. You throw books at someone all game and at the end of the game you select the one you want to date and its a binary yes/no depending on the amount of books you throw at them and you get an extra line of dialogue then the credits roll. But when you hook up in RF4 your partner has additional dialogue that goes across days (for me it was trying to figure out what couples do). You can take them out on dates, when they're following you NPCs you pass by will say something about the two of you together, when you talk to them they'll have lines about you hooking up.

That's runefactory in general. In 2 you even get to play as your offspring. Now if only they'd actually let you be gay (2 does by technicality).

Is Rune Factory 4 on switch worth getting if I already own the 3DS version? People have been talking it up in the thread and it sounds pretty fun, I never really got into it the first time around.

HM/SoS has slooooowly been getting better about it. The last two don't have quite the amount of dialogue as RF, but you do get some extra events after getting married. Overall, they've been increasing what people have to say in the games, and you can track down little stories between characters sometimes. Spoilers for Trio of Towns, if anyone still cares about those with that one Like if you continually talk to Yuzuki, you can get a chain of things he has to say where he was dealing with a supplier for his jewelry making. He didn't see anything wrong, because Yuzuki, but he was being ripped off hardcore. He was talking to Ludus, it comes up, and he says something about Ludus getting a real grim look on his face. Suddenly the supplier is giving him much better deals, I wonder what that's all about. So, yeah, it's still nowhere near the crazy amount of talking RF NPCs get up to, and it's still very much "Shove farm products in their face until they love you", but they've been getting better.

Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon was a super duper neat game and a pretty daring departure from the formula, and the relationships in-game, if I recall correctly, are all entirely platonic since you are a robot learning what it means to be alive by growing things and getting to know human beings.

I really wonder what it would be like if that was the one that had taken off and become its own series (it came out the same year as the first RF).

I really do not like the way Sam Fisher controls like a tugboat in Splinter Cell Blacklist but I have to admire the sheer fluidity of his five hundred thousand movement animations. Was it a worthy tradeoff? No, it feels like his shoes are covered in butter. But boy is it smooth butter.

One of the biggest flaws in Just Cause 2 was that you could get on the outside of vehicles, except they just immediately started slowing down or going out of control. One of the best things in Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is that when you get on top of a horse-drawn carriage to shoot people/leap to another carriage/just stand around admiring the view, the horse keeps on going following the road and you can steer them a bit

In JC3 and 4 they no longer slow down. My friend and I had a competition to see who could travel the furthest by latching on to a civilian car, firing one bullet and then setting down the controller. It can go for a LONG time.

The second mission in the game has a fantastic sequence that's hardly even scripted - it's just you latching onto the vehicle with an NPC driver pathing through a flower field. They never repeat this

I've got as far as Pools of the Ancient Dead in Medievil. I like the running gag that the player is the only character who understands what Daniel is saying, no one else can understand him because they can't read his text box.

Elvis_Maximus posted:Is Rune Factory 4 on switch worth getting if I already own the 3DS version? Seems the only difference between the 2 versions is that the switch version removes randomness in starting arc 3 and adds a few new events with the romanceable NPCs Another thing that I like in Rune Factory 4 is that the store upgrades its seeds when you ship higher quality ones. No losing progress.

For me the best little thing in Rune Factory 4 is you carry up to nine of the same item, no not in your inventory, in you hands and you don't even have to press the button each time, you can just hold down the A button as you run over them. Also you can throw them and it has the same effect as placing them into something or giving them to someone. So no need to painstakingly put each vegetable into your inventory, then walk all the way over too shipping bin, just run through your farm holding A and you'll scoop up your veggies into a terrifyingly teetering tower of turnips which you can just toss all at once into the bin. Gift giving works the same way, just make a bunch of food all at once then make a mad dash through town beaning people with plates of pickled turnips, they'll thank you for it.

trine 4 not only lets you start a level from any of its checkpoints, but also shows you exactly how much of the collectible exp you've found out of what's hidden in each section. this is extremely good if you want to get everytrhing and this is the only trine game where I've bothered to collect everything because of it.

How do you decide what games you're gonna play? I see you posting about all these games I definitely remember, but just would not have popped into my consciousness at all unless I read about them here.

I've always been interested in beating Medievil but my disk was too hosed up so the game would sometimes just refuse to load a level. I've started emulating it because my local game shop has Medievil 2 and I want to see how weird the bosses get, but also to get the hang of how the series plays. I like the sheer number of weapons you get in the game, just got the Magic Longbow after beating The Lake, which wasn't nearly as bad as Pools of the Ancient Dead because you only have to make a dangerous jump twice while the Pools are all platforming or tight places to land. Generally, I hear about a game and get curious enough to look it up, or randomly searching around CEX I find a couple of games I've never heard of for 50p or so and have a lot of fun with them, or it's a game I remember having as a kid but never actually beat and want to.

I miss CEX being in the states. There was one in the mall near me and they were way, way better than the GameStop a few shops over. I got my PS4 used from them for 150 or so.

A couple professional martial artists try to recreate some of the special moves from Mortal Kombat 11. The fun little detail here is that Johnny Cage's moves are flashy and impractical, whereas Liu Kang's are more realistic and have some actual real-life analogues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw22PzFsD7w
