I got Return to Arkham and have been playing through it. I like how when you use a ladder, if you're not on the right side, Batman will just swing around to the correct side so you can go up and down. Also, no falling damage is pretty awesome.

More games need a reprehensible rear end in a top hat as the main character.

I dunno I just shot man's and when Roland didn't respawn assumed Hyperion had something to do with it. Y'all put way too much thought into the intricate story of Loot Treadmill FPS edition. The problem is the loot treadmill is broken and gives you junk 99% of the time.

Rimworld is so good. I have a pretty advanced colony right now, and decided to try building a transport pod launcher since I hadn't really screwed around with the world map stuff since the update. As it gets completed, a raid happens, and these assholes from a rival faction managed to land a lucky headshot on one of my better colonists before getting turned into mulch by my sizable array of security turrets. The colonist survives, but her headshot injury becomes permanent, dropping the HP of her head low enough that she passes out all the goddamn time and eats up a lot of time getting treatment. She's also old with a lot of age-related conditions, an expert level shooter, and mad as hell about that whole "permanent crippling brain injury thing". So I load her up in the transport pod with an LMG, a belt of frag grenades, and a psychic animal pulser. I choose as my destination the nearby hostile faction town that the raiders came from. The game asks if I want to aim her at the edge of the map or the center - I go with center. The transport pod crash-lands in the middle of the enemy barracks (apparently through the roof?). There's nobody in the barracks right now but there's like 15 heavily armed motherfuckers in the rest of the compound and outside. So she activates the psychic animal pulser, and suddenly it's like Noah's Ark as directed by James Wan. Hundreds of animals of every variety swarm the enemy compound, shredding the soldiers who barely have time to realize what's happening. A few guys armed with molotov cocktails get some shots off against the animals, starting a massive firestorm on the map. The few enemies that were inside rushed out to either beat the fire out or try to rescue their comrades, but were quickly torn apart by the animals. The fire burned open a wall and the animals got to my colonist, but she had a heroic last stand lobbing grenades at everything that moved as the world burned down around her. The enemy outpost was killed so hard it disappeared from the map.

Calaveron posted:Giant salt woman. And then drakengard 3 was against five giant flower women The clearest memory I have of the entire game is running down to the campus computer lab to print out a guide where someone had painstakingly typed out all the X and O's or whatever button presses for the last boss and then just mashing off of that instead of looking at the screen.

Minute long sequence all over again. It is definitely one of the cruelest challenges in a game. For things i actually do like in FFXV, Ramuh, the lightning summon, has a staff with the a carving of Ixion, an alternate lightning summon used in one game that replaced Ramuh.

It was too funny for me to actually be angry at the game. Automata isn't going to be the same without Weiss arguing with people and scaring away the fish.

I'm reading through the FF15 thread but I think some piece of comon knowledge may be wrong, or there was a patch I didn't know about between Dec 29th and Now, as I have definitely got Sturdy Helixhorns from normal Spiracorns. During the Last Spiracorn hunt the first thing I hit was the face of the Spiracorn and I got the sturdy horn, then I got another from a group that was entirely Spiracorns. Was there a patch to make getting them easier, or was I just obscenely lucky?

You can actually do the suplex through the whole game. Shoot out a person's legs and when they're on their knees you use the melee prompt from behind them. It's also crazy useful cause it always destroys the person's head.

Digirat posted:This is some sort of weird thing that gets spread around by people who have never played it. When it started coming up repeatedly about a year after the game came out, I thought it seemed odd that it didn't match my experience with the game it all so I looked it up. There's a big list of references the game makes on its wiki and the actual meme section is this tiny part at the bottom which almost entirely consists of challenge names and short enemy lines you're pretty unlikely to even hear. None of it is in quest dialogue. There was certainly plenty of that, but I'm also pretty sure I've see posts calling out specific jokes as forced memes or something because...they wrote a line into the game and hoped you would laugh at it and I guess that's what a meme is now. Though like you said, maybe they didn't actually play the game so they just jumped to a bizarre conclusion when some nerd on the internet somewhere mentioned it. I mean, if unfunny nerds referencing something ad nauseum reflects poorly on the source material, then Portal must be the worst piece of media in human history.

Action Tortoise posted:5 was great, I even got a rando friend out of cooping on gfwl. the steam version has Steamworks now. I played it last year, so well after Steamworks was implimented. There was just something with either my connection or my co-op partner's connection (I played with the same friend through the whole game) where boss AI would occasionally bug out, QTEs would have time limits of less than a second, or button-mashing QTEs would last like 30 seconds. Also we would have to try to create the session twice before it would work, every time. Still a good game, but it clearly doesn't handle connection problems as well as many other games, such as RE6. Since this is the little things in games thread, I'll add that locking up a big enemy by shooting them in the leg then spinkicking them repeatedly never got old in Resident Evil 4, 5, or 6.

It's funny that RE5/6 just came up, I bought both of them in the steam winter sale because my friend loved playing RE5 back in the day and wanted to play it again. It was actually a ton of fun, we went through the game a bunch of times even beating it on the hardest difficulties and going for 100% steam achievements (that didn't require doing the pvp multiplayer anyway). I definitely got the impression that the game would be garbage playing it solo, and while we haven't beat RE 6 yet I get the same impression there. They're both fantastic co-op experiences for people who really love a co-op campaign. For a favorite little thing: Spamming the partner button to yell at your friend when you're waiting for them to push their button or something. It reminded me of the 'annoy your friends' button in the mario party games.

RE5 was a magical experience. It probably isn't an intentional moment, but I'll always remember beating the final boss with my buddy. We wasted all our ammo on his invincibility phase, so instead we pulled out our shock batons and wailed on Wesker for like 15 minutes before he finally went down. We just kept picking each other up when we went down and eventually clobbered his rear end to death.
