In AC Odyssey if you stab a chicken (they're level 23 right now, they can take a hit), all the chickens around you will get pissed and start attacking you. And they're not ineffective, it's surprisingly quick to die by chicken.

Yeah I has two mercenaries fighting me at once in a rural street, I was just corralling them nicely when I get clawed from behind by an angry rooster, like my health points!

CJacobs posted:I feel team magma and aqua aren't really that bad because when they've awakened the legendary and the chips are down they both explicitly tell your character "look, this is no place for a kid, this is not a fun romp with your friends anymore, you should probably just go home before you get yourself and all your pets killed"... And then they really do just leave to go do their business elsewhere without saying where they're going. You have to figure out where they went on your own. Makes a lot of sense given while ecoterrorists, both of them consider themselves to be the good guys and want to make things better, even if their ideas are crazy and dumb. Team Plasma are weird, but there's some interesting nuance to them even beyond just Pokemon PETA. That their apparent leader is a completely dysfunctional weirdo because he was specifically raised to be one, and it becomes obvious to him eventually that he's undermining his own goals as a result.

Best part was when I stumbled across an island called Alektryon's Rest and right as I was thinking "That sounds familiar, wasn't that-" I got blindsided by the alpha rooster. Can't say it didn't warn me, I guess.

Noi in Dorohedoro is built like a train made of trains who deadlifts trains and is also The Best so she gets double the points.

An extremely rudimentary little thing, but a Youtube video made me realize part of the secret sauce that makes Legend of Zelda work. There's a reason why despite every single installment in the series being staving off some great calamity, you're almost never in a hurry to do it: Ganondorf is, canonically, the most patient man in Hyrule. Every single plan the man's had, across every game, involves him waiting for someone else to do something he can exploit. Sometimes it's before the game (Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild), sometimes it's during the game (Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker), but he's always waiting, rather than performing an act himself. The reason Zelda games are so slow is because your eternal nemesis is the slowest loving conqueror. In retrospect, it makes sense that the first Zelda game with an active antagonist that wasn't Ganon was the only one with any sort of time pressure.

Makes a lot of sense given iirc it's the same Ganon every game. Being basically immortal/reincarnating probably gives you a different perspective on time.

He probably doesn't care how long it lasts when he does take over. After BotW he's just like "PERSONAL BEST!" while crossing out "7 years" and writing "100 years" in it's place. At this point, he's just made a game out of it. If he only keeps Hyrule for 101 years after getting killed next time, he'll be fine with it.

Samus was always secretly hot but its only in brawl and other M does she get waif-ish and soft featured. Heres a zero mission ending:  And a more direct compsrison  Vs

In the Super Metroid ending especially, despite being a small pixel form, you can tell the animators wanted to show that she had some muscles to her.

And to be fair to Smash Bros, her design in Ultimate is pretty jacked. She's giving Snake a run for his money, and basically the only people more muscular than them are the Arcade Fighter Boys and Captain Falcon for some reason. No idea who came up with the jet heels, though. I don't necessarily hate them (they do complete her whole moveset in a weird way) but I have some questions about how they got there.

ngl, on-topic or not this stuff is creeping me out some The decision point in Witcher 2 between Iorveth and Roche was the first time in a game where a decision really stumped me. It was probably the most consequential and difficult choice presented in a game up until that point, altering your entire trajectory and narrative from that point forward. Not only that, but it wasn't some cheap shot ONE MUST LIVE AND ONE MUST DIE moment. It's genuine moral quandary with serious merits to both sides, and you can sympathise with both characters. It helps that the voice acting for both is among the best ever in a game, which is funny because all the non-main characters in Witcher 2 are obnoxiously and jarringly Welsh and they obviously blew their voice acting budget on just a few key characters. Honestly a seriously underrated game if only because it lives in the shadow of its successor, which is overall just an even better and more ambitious game. Even now I'm not sure any game has handled choice better than Witcher 2, but obviously it had the luxury of being a linear(ish) narrative and a lot of bigger titles these days aren't.

I'm replaying Celeste because there's a bunch of stuff I didn't do the first time, and I've got all the stuff in the first chapter so I'm trying the B-side for it. It's quite satisfying to figure out what the game needs me to do to get past each Max-difficulty combination of previously simple obstacles. It's really hard, but in a fun way.

I don't have a ton of experience with Metroid games- I never played Samus Returns to be honest- does she ever talk or have any dialogue at all besides Fusion and Other M? Aside from Prime 3, the Metroid series is pretty cast light franchise as far as I know so she doesn't do a lot of talking to people or even her self as far as I know.

She has some narration in Super Metroid and Zero Mission, but it's narration so it you can't gleam much personality from it. In Metroid Prime 1 she makes some notes on item descriptions, but again not much personality there.

There was going to be an intro monologue in Prime 1 (it's still in the files, voiced by Jennifer Hale), but it was replaced either by silence in the original US version, or a disembodied narrator in later releases.

I’d play a Metroid game where every cutscene boiled down to Samus yelling and shooting whatever was in her way, becoming increasingly more visibly angry every time she has to go hunt down another loving upgrade to progress instead of just blowing the obstacle up.
