There is a line in the original 1930's Mummy film, where one British archeologist is bitching that the Egyptian government only allowed them to excavate the pyramid and help fund the expedition if the relics stay in Egypt. This was played perfectly straight by one of the protagonists without a shred of irony.

The Warhammer 40K DLC for PowerWash Simulator is great, even if I have no real familiarity with the setting. It's just fun to clean new and different things. There's a small problem when you reach the end of a level and you get a checklist of the last few things that need to be cleaned and I have no idea what they are. So I just blast everything while slamming the "show dirt" button on the controller over and over and hope I get it.  In the last level, there are areas that I can't seem to clean at all no matter how I position myself, what nozzle I use or wand I try. There must be something I'm missing, but I don't know what it is.  iirc, it's some of the landing gear. I can get close enough to see it, but the spray or soap never cleans it.

Lara croft was lampooned in Hitman and split into two assassination targets but honestly Lara croft is a turd of a character and Hitman should just off the real thing.

That's what kind of soured me on the game in the first place. Sometimes you have to scour every inch to get it marked as clean.

I had a similar issue with the BTTF DeLorean and Train DLC levels. First of all the items in question have cutesy names like "Temporal displacement actuator" or "Inversion blingee", so it's kind of difficult to know what it is looking for. Second, there are a lot of tubes and pipes and wires that all need to be cleaned. But because it is a three dimensional object, either the pipes are on top of the thing that needs to be cleaned, making an obstacle that needs to be overcome, or it's the pipes themselves, but it's the underside that you can't easily see, much less spray clean. I will say that if you go to the menu and look at the list of things that need to be cleaned, you can click on the item in that list and it will highlight and flash repeatedly until it is cleaned.

Black Skylands is a game that came in the recent Humble Monthly thing. Ten seconds into the game and it presents me with two characters. This fellow, with normal proportions.  And then this dude with the same sized head but a tiny little body. This is I believe the protagonist. I think the idea is to suggest the small-body guy is a child, but all I see is a tiny frame with big-head mode on. I hope this introductory segment is just a flashback to his childhood because I'm not going to be able to endure a whole game looking at this mutant. edit: It wouldn't be that bad if everybody had that tiny-body-huge-head thing going on, but they don't. Instead this presents me with a world where giant-headed children are running around waiting for their bodies to mature. What do they do as toddlers? Their puny necks can't have developed the muscle needed to lug that around. I bet they spend a few years literally dragging their heavy heads on the ground. edit 2: I decided to give Saints Row a shot. All I know about it is everyone hates it. What kind of bullshit is this, aim assist??! And you have to disable like three different types of aim assist? And one of them doesn't seem to disableable at all. edit 3: I thought chuds were saying this was a woke game? It opens with you massacring hundreds of Brown People With Accents. Doesn't seem woke to me. edit 4: Christ the default voice setting is so bad. The actor is bad, and she sounds like she should be voicing a gopher or something, not a person. edit 5: Wow, the drifting is something else. Drifting feels like igniting boosters attached to the side of your car. edit 6: The dicks are censored!! Cowards! edit 7: The aim assist thing is really the worst part of my experience so far. It feels like, because it's enabled by default, that that is how it's meant to be played. But it's so dumb. Right click + left click, dead bad guy. Dumb. credburn has a new favorite as of 23:54 on Mar 7, 2024 |

This has been an issue in the game for ages, as others have said. I ran in to this problem in one of the vanilla levels - the giant treehouse thing. There was one section of a floor that absolutely refused to fully clean. I did eventually get it, by running back and forth covering it in soap spray until it decided it was clean, but man that was annoying.

The Mask of Fu Manchu has british explorers who are so racist that for modern audiences they are way worse villains than Fu Manchu is. he basically asks "hey why are you trying to steal our priceless artifacts?" and their response is verbatim quote:Oh, our English people like to look at them on holidays. and the story ends with them laughing at a chinese guy who says he's uneducated

The funny thing about Tomb Raider is that the whole staff quit after TR2 due to crunch so the studio paid them more to do less in mentorship roles as they hired a bunch of newbie level designers to make TR3 onwards.

The shadows in FF7 Rebirth are way too dark. Can't see a thing until you go inside them and wait a second or two for the camera to adjust, every single time. God drat it annoys me to no end.
