In The Movies, a movie studio sim, your stars will retire after they hit a certain age (you can delay it some by putting them on one last project) and hobble out of the lot. When one of my stars was retiring, I noticed she had paused on her way out. One of the stunt women was getting her autograph.

So hey guys, Bulletstorm is really cool. I've seen a lot of people rave about the dialog, but it's honestly kind of meh to me. That wonderful watermelon hitting concrete sound you get from a headshot though.

I've mentioned it before, but the rain in Watch Dogs is really well done. Rain drops make little splashes on the ground, the ground gradually gets shiny, puddles form, clothing gets wet, when it starts to rain people around you will mention it, larger overhangs block the raindrops so they aren't falling through solid concrete, etc. The water will stick around on the ground for a while after the sun comes out to. It's really nice considering they definitely didn't have to put that much detail work into it.

I got Red Faction: Armageddon in a humble bundle a while ago but only now bothered to play it. It's completely mediocre and forgettable in every way. Except the magnet gun. Sending enemies flying across the room into a wall, slamming two enemies into each other, or making a building break apart into debris and rain down on a bad guy never gets old. I'm having more fun with it then I ever had with the gravity gun.

Scribblenauts is full of little things. They have a huge variety of very specific mythological creatures. My first step to solve any problem is to summon a nuckelavee. My favorite discovery that I mad all on my own without her from the Internet (  ) was that it you conjure an element that's reactive with water, like potassium or cesium, it will cause an explosion when you drop it in.

One of my favourite little things in Zelda: Wind Waker was the "fireball tennis" bits in the Shadow Ganon fights, where the music got faster and faster with each hit. I think there was a different music sting as well depending on whether you or Shadow Ganon ended up getting hit.

I've been playing Resident Evil 6 lately and it's pretty bleak. However, there are two things I've really enjoyed so far. 1. You heal by popping Tic Tacs. 2. At one point, Chris can play on a playground slide.

You are playing a game where you can powerslide into an enemy, knife them in the face, then pick them up and throw them into another enemy. The look of dull surprise as you powerbomb a zombie never gets old.

Remember Me is a fairly average quality action game but it really shines later into the final few chapters, as the encounter design gets pretty imaginative and forces you to switch up what types of attacks you use (sometimes you want health boosts when fighting certain enemies, sometimes you need to ensure a critical special attack cools down faster) and also it makes you use the specials a good deal. It does a really good job of keeping things interesting, for example there is an enemy type that is invincible while other enemies are around - sometimes one of those enemies is another one of those, rendering them invincible. However if yo use the special that gives a immediate overload on one enemy you can kill one of them and therefore allow the other to be fought fairly. Overall a really fun game with some hilariously bad dialogue. "Little red riding hood has a basket... full. of kickass   "

I have to start about Deus Ex again, because I just hacked Pritchard's computer and found the e-mail from Picus where they tell him that no, they really aren't interested in his pitch for a TV show starring a superhacker who operates from the shadows, and their target group would be a lot more interested in a cop or ex-cop protagonist. No wonder the poor guy doesn't like Adam. I also enjoy it a lot every time I find the Nigerian spam mail on a random computer in the bowels of a black ops facility, and I hope at some point I come across someone who was clearly dumb enough to reply to it.

The Mercenaries 2 chat in this thread made me go buy it. It's on sale for $4.99 on Origin right now. I only got to muck about for maybe half an hour so fr, but the Swedish character with the mohawk is voiced by Peter Stormare, which I immediately recognised and loved. The Swedish mercenaries chatter while running around picking up new weapons, getting hit, killing guys is hilarious, made more so with Peter Stormare's slow drawl. In Watchdogs, I like how the enemies, once you've tagged them, all have a designated rate, from regular to veteran to elite. This tells you which guys will be better under pressure, more accurate and more aggresive in a fight. The little thing I love is that when the bad guys have explosives on them, you can hack the explosives and make them detonate, which is always hilarious. Where the ranking comes into it is that the more professional the guy, the better he generally takes finding he has an armed bomb strapped to him. Elites usually manage to get the bomb off and throw it away, with some remark about how it's lovely harware, or disbelief due to the "5 fail safes" built into them, while regular guys freak the gently caress out, and then die. One gang member I found was walking around, went between a couple of veteran and elite guys, and I hacked the grenades in his pocket. The telltale "beep beep beep" of live explosives started up, and the elite and veteran guys immediately ducked for cover, while the regular dumb-rear end gangster stood there, and said "who's phone is that?". Boom.

carry on then posted:They went back to open environments with Crysis 3, but that game was too short. I honestly wound up liking Crysis 2 the best because, despite losing everything unique about Crysis 1, was the most well-done end to end. It's not that surprising that a series with "good graphics" as its only claim to fame was forgotten, even though Crysis 3 is still a top 3 most graphically advanced game available, if not still the best. The story was something special too. Crysis 1 - Koreans! Wait uh, Aliens! Crysis 2 - Guy from the first game sticks his alien power armor on another guy to save his life and then blows his brains out. Turns out he's now a Ghost in The Machine and they're totally gonna be Master Chief and Cortana now. Also you probably beat this game in a day. Crysis 3 - Just kidding, the guy in the suit is dead and now the guy from the first game controls his gross lifeless corpse in the suit.

He wasn't even the guy from the first game, he was just a character in the first game. The main character of Crysis 1 was "Nomad" while the guy from Crysis 2 and 3 was "Prophet."

Each game seemed to have to do all this work backfilling the new things they thought of into the events of the previous games. Honestly the plot was really Crysis 1: Oh no, aliens. Should we do something about this? Crysis 2: Oh no, aliens in a populated area. We should do something about this. Crysis 3: Oh yeah, aliens. We probably should have done something about this.

In addition, Crysis 1 ends with you, Nomad, your British buddy, Psycho, and scientist Helena Rosenthal flying back to the island you just escaped from, now covered in an ice sphere and inhabited by aliens. Crysis 2 opens with you, some Marine, defending New York from aliens. Apparently what happens between the games is explained in a comic book. Nomad and Prophet (the original one, not the ghost in the shell one) go through a teleporter to the moon or mars or something, then Nomad gets shot and dies. None of this is mentioned in Crysis 2.

BBJoey posted:In addition, Crysis 1 ends with you, Nomad, your British buddy, Psycho, and scientist Helena Rosenthal flying back to the island you just escaped from, now covered in an ice sphere and inhabited by aliens. Yeah the main thing that pissed me off about Crysis 2 is it ignored everything about the first game except ~aliens~ and nanosuits, I wanted to see Prophet's story not have him killed off before I even get control of my character. With as much as everyone goes on about Crysis' graphics I really enjoyed it for the gameplay, and even the harder difficulties aren't too hard when you're the loving Predator with a shotgun. I'm still interested in getting around to the third game at some point but the 2nd game turned me off in favour of just replaying the original and Warhead again.

Alhazred posted:The way you save your game in Ico: Ico was such a pretty game. Wish I could have finished but y'know. Discs. Also, Ico is pretty much a game that is purely an escort mission - that you don't hate. Usually escort missions are pretty bad in most games for one reason or another but I really don't remember getting to frustrated at all with this one. I did get really uneasy every-time Yorda got kidnapped though in the same way I get uneasy every time I had to watch over a little sister in Bioshock. It plays with your older sibling instincts.

Replaying MGS4 reminded me of one of my favorite little things: the TV shows at the beginning. It's amazing to see David Hayter talking to the woman who plays Big Mama while wearing the Solid Eye. Also, all of Kojima's pseudo-philosophical babblings throughout the series are fantastic. Maybe it's just because I discovered the series as an impressionable and miserable sixteen year old, but Snake's speech to Raiden about genes at the end of MGS2 really stuck with me for a long time.

Unless you cheat, get access to everything and use it as a movie maker instead of a studio sim. There used to be a website that you could upload to and man, there were some good rear end movies people made.
