There was a Superman game that used a similar idea- supes was invulnerable, but Metropolis had a health bar you had to protect

Suddenly realising where else I saw this; the Transformers game on the PS2, where the final boss is Unicron, and you suddenly have a bunch of superpower Mini-Cons that make you flying and invincible, but it's Cybertron itself that has the health bar and you've got to beat Unicron before he destroys it completely.

I still think fondly of the very silly Sleeping Dogs DLC where you get a Batmobile bristling with weapons to drive around.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

That DLC indeed made the game better. Sure, it makes car chases rather anti-climatic with its speed and weaponry. Sure, you can break car races if you use its EMP to shut down your opponents at the start. But it is just so fun!

What did you say the strategy was?

Winston is the guy with the golden Desert Eagle. Wei Shen is the guy being interrogated, who is totally not an undercover cop.

Content: I like that in the original version of Sleeping Dogs (before the DLC and Director's Cut version), you'd just barely have enough cop xp to max out the cop levels right around the time in the story that Wei Shen loses trust in his fellow cops and starts siding with his Triad buddies more. It's good gameplay/story integration.

This scene always gets me for how quick the tables turn and Winston casually murders a guy. He's impulsive as all heck.

It’s a return from Miles Morales but in Spider-Man 2 there’s a costume where a cat in a spider mask is in your backpack and he constantly pokes his head out and I love him

Sleeping Dogs lets you wear custom outfits during cutscenes. That leads to funny situations like this scene where gangsters are interrogating Winston to see if he's an undercover cop.



I also kind of love the DLC that gets you that uniform that starts right after the main gam. After a full game of running around causing chaos, Wei Shen gets demoted to traffic cop, hence why he has that outfit. The intro showing his new routine was hilarious, particularly the very stoney look on his face the whole time.

Actually, Spider-Man (the cat) mostly hangs out with a bodega owner (I forget his name) until he gets taken by hoodlums, and when Spider-Man (Miles Morales) shows up because he hears someone yelling "Spider-Man! Where are you?", the bodega owner says "I wasn't talking about you, Spider-Man. The cat's name is Spider-Man." Then Spider-Man (Miles Morales) has to go find Spider-Man (the cat).

Spider-Man (Peter Parker) is not in New York at this time, so it's not ridiculous.

This is all in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. I don't know the continuation of the Spider-Man (the cat) story in Spider-Man 2.

He reluctantly admits that Spider-Man is named after the other Spider-Man. But after Spider-Man rescues Spider-Man, the bodega owner tells him he's his new favorite Spider-Man. After Spider-Man, of course.

Both he and Spider-Man (along with Spider-Man and Spider-Man) are in Spider-Man 2 and the costume returns.

Saints Row 2022 is aggressively okay, but one of my favorite moments was interrogating a rival gang member by messing up his car. Do you shoot it up? No, you use the in-game vehicle customization to turn it into whatever you want.

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
It's the littlest of little things, but I'm playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor and I love that there's an option, completely separate from the regular difficulty settings, that makes it so if you fall into a pit during a jumping puzzle and get respawned at the beginning, you don't lose health. The health loss is on by default and you don't even lose that much, but it's a really cool option that takes away a lot of stress from the acrobatic segments.

I like that. As much as I enjoy Respawn's platforming, both Jedi games are consistently a bit wonky for me in terms of timing jumps and grabbing onto walls, so I end up falling into pits more frequently than I'd like.
