It's the main villain, trolling you. My favourite thing about that is how, despite the facade he puts up when confronting you, he's just kind of a sad, obsessed man. He's not one of those omniscient villains, he's not three steps ahead of you, he just barely knows what he's going to do or how he can stop you and his wild conspiracy wall of trying to figure things out, getting more and more frustrated, really drives home that point. It humanizes him to a point that you almost never see in video game villains. Morpheus has a new favorite as of 14:36 on Jan 24, 2024 |

Edit: but for real the game places a lot of focus on bad combat ,stealth, plot and knockoff Guillermo del Toro, that keeps interrupting the good stuff.

The other thread content: *beedeedeep-beep* "Sam." goddammit die-hardman we just talked, leave me alone for two seconds. This thread content: I love the environmental storytelling inherent in Sam's room. He's basically the most important person in the UCA: he can't die, he's got the monumental task to save the world by carrying poo poo across Iceland, and he's the only one who can see the rain ghosts. So what does his room look like? It's basically a prison cell. There's a bed, a shower, and a wall computer. That's it. Imagine how normal people live. The other thread content: I wish we saw more of that, other than the spoilery one and the one in the Director's Cut. I love exploring a real space, but Death Stranding is as unreal as it gets.

lol, they changed it? They lost the coveted Monster product placement?! All that kinda stuff is so funny to me. Death Stranding doesn't have Monster anymore, the Spider-Man games lost the rights to including the Chrysler Building, even this week my friend and I were talking about that scene in Wayne's World with the "No Stairway to Heaven" sign in the guitar store where they had to change what Wayne plays to a generic riff. If you never saw it in theatres originally you have never heard Wayne play Stairway.

Kind of missed multiplayer chat but Assassin's Creed 2 had a fantastic multiplayer where you chose a character, then both had to stealthily blend in with crowds, hide on benches and assassinate people. It was proper good and tense, and then almost immediately got ruined by idiots farming points by sprinting around throwing knives at people for minor points.

Hel posted:*snip* OK, knowing Kojima the answer is “of course”, but do the human enemies have funny reactions to getting hit with the pee/blood/poop grenades? Also, one would think rocket launchers would remove the downsides of killing people, since you’d effectively kill and annihilate the body with one shot.

Mierenneuker posted:Being a Source game, Steam was the DRM! I looked it up and it didn’t get a physical release for almost a year in the US (July 2006-> April 2007). Europe was like a three month turnaround. The market wasn’t as flooded then but I can see that delay absolutely breaking the community aspect pretty hard considering buying games on Steam was more of a curiosity than anything else back then.

You gotta vaporize a corpse down to ash to prevent a Voidout. Chunky salsa might still qualify as Dead Body.

If you chuck it directly at them, they are stunned for free and shake it off like EW OMG WTF. If you throw one on the ground and they walk over it, they'll comically slip and fall in it like you dropped a banana peel. Edit: and Blood grenades are basically smoke grenades that blind the enemy for free sprinting drop kicks.

What about four parts? What about chunky salsa, how many voidouts can one body produce? What's the optimal spread of body parts for optimal voidout coverage of one body

Being coded in Source means that you can air strafe in Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines: Subtitle. The most air you can get is by jumping off a trash can, but the capacity is there.

It was proper good and tense, and then almost immediately got ruined by idiots farming points by sprinting around throwing knives at people for minor points. AC multiplayer was so much better than it had any right to be, yeah. Like you said it did have the problem that it kinda needs everybody to cooperate to achieve the "intended" experience, but when it did come together it was downright magical. My favourite was the poisoned needle, which gives you insane points but only if you can manage to not only touch your target but keep them from realising it for several seconds until the poison actually takes effect  Another great unexpectedly great multiplayer mode was in Kane & Lynch, of all games, called Fragile Alliance. The basic idea is that the players do a series of cooperative heists against NPC police, trying to get out as much money each time as possible. The twist was that the score for each heist is only distributed between the players who make it out alive, and your overall goal is to have the most money after all heists are done. So there's a strong incentive towards leaving your erstwhile comrades behind once you've got the money, or even outright putting a bullet into them yourself. Of course if you're being too trigger-happy, they will remember in the next round and simply take you out first.

Arkham Origins multiplayer was extremely cool and good - 2 teams of 4, Joker vs Bane's gang, and a Batman & Robin team. Gangs win by killing the other gang enough times, Batman & Robin win through getting a certain number of takedowns. Each team had unique gadgets and opportunity to get a super mode where Bane or Joker knock on a door and if you answer it you can play as them. It was just really fun and unique, I miss it
