Captain Hygiene posted:I appreciated Norman Reedus Shower Simulator 2019 in a lot of ways, but sadly tapped out around the halfway point Death Stranding is so very, very good. It is a very long game though. Here is a big ol list of little things about one little aspect of the game, the harmonica. You get the harmonica as a thank you present for delivering to an early-game prepper who is a musician. Then you can equip it in your headgear slot and play it whenever the hell you want with the touchpad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds6rB7zbYug And now the KOJIMA  kicks in:- One early press release vid spoke of Sam getting better at the harmonica as you use it, and it turns out that's actually true! The more you puff on it, the more of your BB's theme tune he can play, until eventually he can play the whole thing - If you leave it equipped while just running around the game, sometimes Sam will play it on his own (you can also still do it with the touchpad) - Playing it in front of a friendly fellow porter causes them to laugh and clap and give you Likes - Playing it in front of an enemy MULE makes them stomp their feet and wave their electric stick thingy at you - You can use the harmonica from behind cover to draw MULEs/terrorists over, or draw BTs to your location so you can piss on 'em for fun - If you play the harmonica in a spot where someone else has recently played it, you'll get an echo playing it back at you like when you call out - Playing the harmonica restores your endurance and your BB's health bar - you can use this to restore the BB's health on the move instead of having to stop and rock him - If you're really low on health or endurance, Sam's harmonica playing is spaced out by huffing and puffing - The harmonica echoes more in open spaces, which is more a byproduct of the sound engine than anything but man did they put a lot of effort into spatial sound in this game edit: And speaking of which, there's even more little things related to sitting down and resting, my favorite of which is Sam mumbling in his sleep. If you leave him alone for a while he'll fall asleep, and VERY rarely (I've only had it happen to me personally once) he'll start talking in his sleep. But what's cool is that the stuff he mumbles is related to whatever plot stuff is going on at the moment, even though 99% of players are never going to even let him fall asleep in the first place.

CJacobs posted:Death Stranding is so very, very good. It's very well done, I appreciate all that Kojima stuff (alongside the rear end cheeks, of course). The BTs were what ruined it for me, I hit a long stretch of just running cargo back and forth with some occasional bandit camp infiltration and that was great, I think I would've loved if it was just its quasi-online world focused on that stuff. Then I hit another story advancement with BTs, realized just how much I dislike their gameplay in comparison, and noped out with no desire to go back since. I don't even think they're "bad", just very much not for me.

I really like that there's usually (usually) a way to skirt around the BT zones and not have to confront them, but sometimes a plot mission will plop one right in the way of your destination for atmospheric purposes and then you're kinda screwed. The Wind Farm is a clear early example, but the Weather Station somewhat later on is similar. The game spawns a MASSIVE BT zone right outside its doorstep and I couldn't find a way to skirt it from any direction. edit: vvv drat, I had no idea! That's pretty out of the way but not that bad.

You can place a bridge over the river to a clear route through the rocky area that joins up with the highway.

AngryRobotsInc posted:If I recall right, if you turn on dev commentary in Portal, they talk some about the difficulties they had getting players to look up, which I found amusing. There's a part in HL:Ep1 where a distant Combine is placed to plink at you with a pistol just so your attention will be directed towards a dropship rising up right in front of you for a setpiece.

Apparently Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is 15 bux right now on the ps store. Are there any giant improvements or anything, or should I just dust off the 360 if I wanted to play it again?

Much better fast-travel for one, the way-prisms are more frequent and more locations than the capital have permanant warp points.

Ah sorry, i think those are just some of the changes Dark Arisen made. What i meant to ask was did the upgrade to ps4 come with any changes aside from the bump in graphics quality, compared to the ps3/360 version. Although looking at this, that bump alone might be worth $15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrPvRSWKNyA

Your height and weight affect very, very, small things, too! Like there are some areas with really high winds and if you're a tiny lad then you'll have a hard time walking if someone doesn't pick you up and carry you like a child. But if you're a big chunky beast you can just stomp through it.

And I recall there is at least one place that is populated with goblins that has goblin sized holes, and tiny Arisen can actually go in these tiny burrows for extra stuff!

There's a couple tunnels in the game that you can only go through if you're short enough. Short enough being... absolute minimum height. They're entirely unnecessary paths though. e: beaten, partially

Ruffian Price posted:In my playthrough I've never once gone through that forest - the north cliff wall is perfect for climbing and even has a nice crystal cache at the end as a reward. As far as I can remember there are three times the story needs you to stealth through a BT section to retrieve something from the middle, all other ones you can go around If I recall correctly you will be drug just far enough away by the BT that you won't voidout anything critical.

You can't, they were clever about where BTs drag you to when you get caught and the boss is summoned. Voidout craters can range from barely Sam-sized to absolutely massive depending on where they happen, but you get dragged away from mission critical stuff and the boss fight "arena" never extends toward it. If there's any mission-required cargo in the voidout radius, it'll get sucked into the seam with you and you'll have to swim around to pick it up, but it won't be destroyed. edit: You can, however, bring BTs to MULEs and friendly porters (if you are a jerk), which causes them to get eaten and instantly gives you a game over of the "you can't fix this reload your last save" variety.

Even though it's a shooting game made by the team behind Max Payne, I'm glad Control has side quests that include "talk gently to plants" and "chill on this couch for a minute because you've had a rough day". I don't know if Ahti is an extra-dimensional entity that exists beyond human understanding or just an old Finnish weirdo, but he's my best friend now.

I mean, those parts of the game are way better than the shooter gameplay, so there's no issues with saying that.

CJacobs posted:Speaking of rear end cheeks, I've been playing CoD: Modern-er Warfare 2019, and the throwing knife equip item is still just as good as I remember it being back in the day. I have tossed so many knives directly into the kiesters of so many poor soldiers. It's great that it works just like it did in the original, where it's usually easier to wing it directly into the floor and bounce it into people than to throw it straight at them. Had to be an intentional choice. When I first played Black Ops all I did was throw hatchets at people. Tossing hatchets wildly in the air and randomly getting a kill with it was probably the most fun I had in that game other than remote control car bombs.

Finally got some longer access to a VR headset (Samsung Odyssey+), and I spent a while today just enjoying all the little things that make VR gaming vastly different than traditional stuff. My favorite thing was wandering around just figuring out how to play with objects in Boneworks, I reached up to scoot a crate off the top of a tall locker when it tipped over and landed over my head. I spent a good minute walking around completely blind, trying to figure out how to get my hands to bump it back off of my head. Such a simple thing but a 100% different fundamental feel than anything I've ever done in a regular game.

https://twitter.com/qtpop/status/1206294213668876296?s=20 VR is amazing. I was playing the Walking Dead VR game and you can get an egg timer and hold it with one hand and use your other hand to twist the timer and have it count down was so simple and blew my mind that this is what can be done in VR now.

i've seen a lot of people complain about it but i genuinely love the combat in Control. it can be a little janky at first, but once you get into the flow of it (and pump points into launch damage) you start to feel like a demigoddess as you chuck pieces of concrete at enemies, whirl to snipe another with your gun, pull up your shield made of concrete chunks to block a projectile, throw them at another enemy to stun them, telekinetically grab a grenade out of the air and throw it back at the guy who tossed it, all in the space of like ten seconds. when it works, it really works.

The ground slam is a must-have as well. Expensive to use but so worth it for making you feel like a powerhouse. Also, you can grab and launch your own Charge rockets if you're fast enough.

It's basically the sequel to the Jedi Knight games I always wanted, only without lightsabers. Plugging a dude in the head while levitating over grenades, then picking his corpse up and using it to torpedo the grenade dude in the face never got old. I hope one of the DLCs is just an endless arena, like Bloody Palace in Devil May Cry.

I hope one of the DLCs is just an endless arena, like Bloody Palace in Devil May Cry. There was a DLC like this for Arkham City, and I loved the combat in that game the most out of all the rocksteady combat-styled games. There were 4 total characters you could play as, (Batman, Catwoman, Nighthawk, and Robin), and the DLC was a big arena in an empty ice rink themed after the Penguin area of the game. The enemies started off weak and unarmed, and slowly as they were defeated more and more would jump down from the rafters, and they would be progressively better armed. The only character who could actually stand a chance and go the distance was Batman, because only he had a move where he could steal and destroy weapons from thugs. Everyone else would have the enemies jumping down to an infinitely-expanding pile of the best weapons in the game, and they would trade up and absolutely shred you with unblockable attacks.

I’ve wondered if that might partially be a controller/mouse divide. I loved the combat too but I played on PC and I can’t imagine handling everything the game throws at you with an analog stick. That said I also love airdashes in general and am incredibly biased towards any game that has them. The fact that spamming them reliably makes enemies miss to the point of being a very viable substitute for cover definitely helps.
