Ruffian Price posted:It will always be insane to me that they recorded the chopped up classics specifically for Drakengard, I thought it was a way to save costs by sampling public domain recordings at first but no, they spent more on this than your regular PS2 "keyboardist with a rack module" OST would require Little King's Story did a similar thing with using public domain classical music for its soundtrack. I remember one of the levels using Rhapsody in Blue as its BGM.

I believe the ring was always there, but they dramatically reduced the amount of relationship points you would get for talking to the blacksmith and the inn keeper. Before this I remember having to occasionally flash my sword at the inn keeper to make sure his affection didn't raise too high. Wait that didn't come out right...

Civilizations V and VI give each civ a public domain song tied to that nation as its theme. They go for some pretty deep cuts for some, too--V gives ancient civs like Egypt and Carthage songs that were actual archaeological discoveries.

Simply Simon posted:I emulated Drakengard recently because I was also curious but it really is just rear end to play. Super boring combat with zero depth, still frustrating because it's so clunky and you get stunlocked a lot, and you know if you want the true story, this'll be your life for the next 50 unchanging hours. As someone who all but 100 percented Drakengard back when it was new, it absolutely is. I fell in love with its nihilistic weapon stories and how every new scenario inverted the expectation that things would get better. When you get ending A, you think "Oh this must be bad end, I'll keep playing and eventually I'll save the day like a regular fantasy hero" and then every end after it is worse than that by orders of magnitude. It was hilarious. But it is entirely rear end to play, there is no doubt.

And that's one of it's selling points.

I bought Disco Elysium, and in my beginning stumbles last night I injured myself turning on the lights, then later attempted to skip out on my bill flipping double birds, crashed into a lady in a wheelchair, and died of a heart attack because I hadn't realized I only had two hit points. I'm also The Sorry Cop and a communist. I'm speechless.

If you have a mission waypoint active in WD: Legion, the top parcel delivery task available in the world will have as its target the drop-off point closest to your objective. If the distance is below a kilometer, you have to deliver the package without breaking it, if it's above, you just need to evade the authorities.

I don't care if the Binding of Isaac's sense of humor is juvenile, it makes me laugh like a crazy man and thus it makes the game for me personally https://clips.twitch.tv/PhilanthropicPatientLapwingOptimizePrime-7XC8HtcsuITgWF5w edit: Another for your consideration https://clips.twitch.tv/BovineDreamyCougarTriHard-pO-TU22gGcv26Hlq CJacobs has a new favorite as of 02:41 on May 11, 2021 |

RE8 makes it very clear which loot is for selling, and which loot can be combined with other loot for much greater profit. A very small detail but I greatly appreciate it.

Having an entire different page for "stuff to sell or combine later" is a great move. Even if it didn't stop apparently everyone in the world from selling meat to the merchant despite it not being under that tab.

Well I mean when you're actually vending everything is in one window, so I can see that being a thing. And he pays good money for meat and you can easily get more meat than you need. I tried selling fish to the duke to see if that unlocked the cooking minigame, unaware that I just needed to visit a house and come back. I ended up short getting all the upgrades exactly the number of fish that I sold as part of this test, because I did not reload an earlier save.

Moons of Madness, a sci-fi horror game. I'm very amused that for once in a horror game, if you get the good ending, the nuclear missile failsafe built by the amoral megacorp actually works. Not against the contingency it was *intended* for, but still. The authorization code to launch the nuke also sums up the game pretty well: "Mars sucks."

packetmantis posted:That game was short but good as hell. Yeah, solid little sci-fi horror game. For those who haven't heard of it, the premise of Moons of Madness is that you're the chief engineer in the first manned colony on Mars when things, naturally, start to go horribly wrong. No combat, just a few parts where you have to hide and run from monsters. The emphasis is more on puzzle solving and exploration.

I like how Aloy remarks on little things here and there in Horizon: Zero Dawn. She doesn't do it all the time, and there's a surprising amount of variation, so it feels less like a "ITEM ACQUIRED" notification and more like "Aloy's happy she has pork chops and healing weeds." It also makes sense she'd talk to herself a lot because she spent most of her life almost entirely isolated. Her caretaker Rost was a caring enough person, but he wasn't very talkative. Also, gently caress

Or is he the one who is just crumpled up and discarded after the fax is complete? Every time Mario fast travels he is haunted by this thought.

The Swapper was an underrated gem and still towards the top of the list when people are asking for recommendations for puzzle games. I should reinstall and play through it again since it's been long enough since the last time that I'll have forgotten all the puzzles.
