TooMuchAbstraction posted:In La Mulana, when you pause the game, the main character (visible underneath the pause overlay) can be seen making a pot of curry, eating it, and then falling asleep. There's a couple of puzzles that require you to fall asleep in particular places, which just means "pause the game there and wait for the animation to play". When I was a kid I thought Rockford getting impatient with my slow-rear end playing and tapping his foot in Boulder Dash was the height of computer video game sophistication.

Prototype rules because you can dash to your objective while Hulk-wall-crawling over any obstacles, or you can hijack a helicopter

Honestly I liked Prototype better for that. Spiderman felt a bit too automatic, like I was mostly just holding forwards and watching pretty animations play, while Prototype made me feel like I was fully controlling a character and all of their actions.

You can dual wield in Resident Evil 4 vr. Nothing more fun the fighting bosses with a striker in one hand and the broken butterfly in the other.

Crackdown was a really bad Grand Theft Auto 3-clone but a really fun Prototype-clone. Too few 3D-games have actually meaningful 3D-ing.

Regardless of its other shortcomings, the flying in Gat Out of Hell was pretty dang good. (SR4 always gets praise for its movement, but it's blatantly just every last piece of Prototype's movement system copy and pasted over.)

My Lovely Horse posted:Kinda starting to feel like I should get into this here. Pathfinder is a slightly modified DnD3.5 and with all the troubles that entails, so it depends on how much you can tolerate some classes just being flat out better than others. This is because Wrath Of The Righteous (like Kingmaker before it) is basically a direct translation of the actual written Adventure Path that was made for the tabletop game. I hope in the future they do a game for Pathfinder 2e instead, although I think by necessity that would have to be turn-based because of the changes made to the action system.

I can tolerate that in a computer game, as long as the gameplay isn't very clearly balanced for one kind of class which is guaranteed to be different from the one I pick. And we're never getting turn-based Western RPG games again, only the highly serious will-you-betray-your-honor ones from Japan

Firstly that Divinity Original Sin 2 sold extremely well; secondly that Pillars of Eternity 2 (which I highly recommend over Pathfinder if you want actual good writing and balanced classes) literally patched in a turn-based mode and found it worth the time to sell it to more people. And lastly because Fire Emblem Three Houses is definitely not any kind of highly serious.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Just don't play anything that doesn't cast spells, then. Which is funny considering when playing the actual adventure path, I had one friend who built a character that the strongest boss in the game would require a nat 20 just to hit, and even then would barely scratch, and another friend who specced a melee character with a glaive that split a god in two in one turn. My cleric could cast every spell in the game, multiple times, at any point but it was pretty tough to keep up with that. The GM was less than thrilled.

Wrath of the Righteous does have a turn-based mode, that's how I play the game. Never touched the real time with pause mode.

In the guardians of the Galaxy game, when on the ship hub, the crew fridge door is open and can be closed by you. Turns out this resets once you turn around a corner, making you wonder who the hell opens the door all the time and closing it again and again. Later once you do it enough times all Crew members chime in that they tought they were the only ones closing it constantly, leaving everyone even more confused  Just a fun little prank on the players which amused me when I figured it out.

The great thing about Wrath of the Righteous is that you can toggle between turn based and rtwp even mid combat, depending on if its trash mobs or a really important fight. The problem is that "rest based resources" is fundamentally uninteresting to me,and means half the fights are there just to use up your spells. I also could not find a sweet spot in the difficulty settings. It seems to swing from "you can mow through enemies unthinkingly" to "hope you like only hitting on a crit, also have multiple enemies with AoE stuns that last 5 years"

The dragon age games do this too - though I almost never used the tactical mode in the latest release. It was done very well in the first game though (until you discovered certain game-breaking spell combos).

Kaiju Cage Match posted:I'm assuming you can knight other monsters, too? Yup, this is the fourth special group of recruits unique to this event. First is a group of treants. Second is an abolitionist-turned-bandit and his gang who want to fight for good. Third is a group of children, escaped slaves - I assigned them as squires and trainees rather than child soldiers. And now the mimics.

This is why it was fun, its movement is so utterly consistently paced. Jumping around collectin' orbs is the simplest thing you can do in a video game and Crackdown fit square into that era where it was important to make collectin' orbs fun. Plus you're rewarded for having fun with the jumping with the ability to do it more and faster. I'd compare it to Jak and Daxter and its movement in an odd way: rudimentary, and perfect for the game it's a part of.

Big Hulk jumps are fun by themselves and I enjoyed the challenge of puzzling my way up to orbs by finding the path of ever-higher platforms but the interaction with the environment felt hollow without any wall jumps, handholds, etc.

For all its faults, the 360 remake of Bionic Commando (re-armed?) could make you feel really good about swinging everywhere because it required a bit of skill.

When it eventually came out Crackdown 3 was criticized for not adding any of these things, iirc.
