The new Dead Rising 3 DLC is the most amazing thing ever.

Its just pure fan service of Capcom games like Power Stone, Captain Commando, Megaman X, Breath of Fire, Final Fight and loads of little stuff in the maps, complete with old Capcom arcade machine sounds.

The voice actors seemed to really enjoy hamming it up to, I especially love Chuck's lines in his X4 costume and Frank as Haggar is just delightfully absurd.

In the Haggar outfit, Frank piledrives a bomb and literally says "Piledrive a, BOMB"

In Guild Wars 2 the primary trade hub city was recently destroyed, and is slowly being rebuilt. While running around I noticed a guard yelling that a nearby Sylvari should be hauled in just for the "crime" of being the same race as the big bad evil chick who blew up the town. The other guard was trying to calm the first down; the whole situation was unexpected and very neat to see, in a small corner of the map far away from shops and other points of interest. I always love the little details like that with which ArenaNet peppers their games.

GW2 has tons of amazing conversations just littered all over the place, just off in some bum gently caress corner a lot of the time.

Which is why its so weird that the personal story and LS are such garbage, supposedly the team that handled the ambient dialogue is now doing the LS season 2 to hopefully it improves significantly.

I love how the camera pulls back a bit and re-adjusts itself when you're fighting a world boss, really gives that sense of scale and that you're fighting something the size of a building.

I wanted to trade for it (unavailable in my region), but a kind poster mentioned that it's still tied with GFWL and may become impossible to play soon.

Apparently MS is not the shutting down the service after all, seems they'll keep it up for games that support it and haven't been/won't be updated to remove it.

I guess I got lucky because through the dozen or so GFWL games I've played I never had a single issue making it work so I've never understood all the rage people have for it.

I've heard stories about losing save files and other things.

I know I could never get it work initially when I bought RE5 a long rear end time ago and just said gently caress it, then like a year ago a friend bought me Dawn of War II to coop with him and that has GFWL and it somehow mysteriously worked in that game, and now my account is linked with this PC so I can play any GFWL game I own.

Not sure what happened or what was different, I always got errors when dealing with RE5 but it worked fine with Dawn.

My favorite Legion moment is in ME3.

After he makes peace with the quarians and has to go himself to the geth to give them their individuality, in his final goodbye, after Tali attempts to apologize for what her people did to them, he says "I know". He didn't say we, he said I know, it was a great moment that really humanized him.

I think the male witch doctor is by far the friendliest of the D3 gender/class combinations. Dude is just so pleased to be helping out.

The crusader female is also super nice, even her lines for when you're trying to use an ability still on cooldown are fairly chill.

The female WD is also a nudist and has hilarious conversations with the templar about it.

Just bought EDF 2025, this is serious GOTY material right here, its just pure distilled fun, the dialogue is just the best.

"This will be a very lopsided battle, because giant insects can't fly!"

I opted to start as a wing diver, the all female flying unit and holy poo poo, just zipping around the map is amazing. You also look absolutely ridiculous as you have holographic anime pigtails tails that grow like 7 feet when you're flying around.

One kinda subtle thing about ACII, Brotherhood and Revelations that I like is that Ezio, as he gets older, supplements his body's abilities with technology.

In ACII, he's young and sprightly, so he can run around, leap upwards from a hanging position and all that jazz.

In ACB he's a little older, so he'll need a metal glove upgrade before he can climb-leap. (Also, the first objective in Rome is to get painkillers for his injuries.)

In ACR he gets the hookblade to make him able to climb-leap and get onto rooftops.

You also notice it in his body language during fights sometimes, like he'll drop his sword then it one motion he'll kick it back up and go back to fighting.

They did a great job with Ezio honestly. His story was fantastic.

Been playing Dark Souls 2 recently, I opted to use one of the items that makes you human again just before the flexible sentry boss, after I had tons of close class and nearly died so many times, I mean I should have died so many times but didn't, beat like 6 bosses, got through some devious combat scenarios and lived.

Then I died running across a bridge cause a plank was missing from it.

All that poo poo and I die to a loving bridge.

The thing I like best about Destiny so far is that it's a nicely polished AAA FPS that isn't a milsim.

There's all kinds of colorful space armor and laser guns and poo poo. It feels like such a breath of fresh air.

I'm having a ton of trouble deciding what class to play purely due to aesthetics.

Titan's are tanks and I love tanky classes, but hunters get these bitchin capes and warlocks have these kick-rear end robes.

I think people expected Halo in space and got something completely different. That's been my impression from most reviews.

Outside of story, its not very hand holdy either, you can roam freely quite a bit, you can even bump into level 20 enemies in the level 3 zone.

In the Payday series the characters use codenames and due to the voice actor for "Hoxton" not being available during the initial recording sessions of the second game he was replaced. Overkill wrapped this into part of the storyline and recently released some DLC where you break him out of prison and get him back onto your crew. A little gag being that he's really pissed off that "new" Hoxton has his codename and mask.

The little thing is when he interacts with the "new" Hoxton(Houston) he doesn't use the code name. He just calls him a fucker or a twat instead.

So who is the new Hoxton then? :confused:

I just got killed by something in Destiny that hit me so hard I rocketed across the ground at lightning speed, what killed me wasn't impact from the enemy itself, but rather me smashing into a wall at said lightning speed.

The game attributed my death to the architects instead of the enemy that hit me.

One of Demi-Fiend's summoned demons will heal him back to full health when he falls below 50%, but it'll only ever happen once.

Actually his demons also have an internal counter to counts down from 30 turns, once it hits 0, ANY demon can sacrifice himself via recamdra and heal him to full again, you need to plan his full heal along with this and then try to burn him down.

Demi-Fiend is basically Atlus.txt in regards to how they handled superbosses for awhile, the RNG is rampant and you need a calculator and several charts to try to guess what he's going to hit you with and even with all the preparation in the world you'll probably still lose till the RNG decides to favor you.

Ah right. Did a little googling and found it.

"Log 11.222.8

Science Team is attempting to reverse-engineer Samus Aran's arsenal, based off data acquired from her assaults on our forces. Progress is slow, but steady. Command would dearly enjoy turning Aran's weapons against her. We believe we can implement Beam weapon prototypes in three cycles. Aran's Power Suit technology remains a mystery, especially the curious Morph Ball function. All attempts at duplicating it have ended in disaster; four test subjects were horribly broken and twisted when they engaged our Morph Ball prototypes. Science Team wisely decided to move on afterward."

Guild Wars 2 is the same, you can drink tonics to change your form so you can be in cutscene discovering this wondrous thing while looking like a pig or a chair.

The latest living story thing has a bunch of images of people in the last super tragic scene with their panda and speedo wearing elf minis in the way completely ruining any serious tone.

Course that already happens anyway like the one scene where someone loses their sibling and as soon as you finish the scene and the episode ends your character blurts out something related to loot like "SWEET SWEET LOOT" while standing underneath the strangled corpse of said sibling.

I'm finally getting my world completion in Guild Wars 2 and despite the fact that I've owned this game there's poo poo I've never seen before, one particular thing I liked was a class specific question that I didn't expect, I play ranger the pet class and an NPC asks me a question relating to it which I wasn't expecting, it was a charr(cat like war race in the GW2 lore), she tells me that she couldn't help but notice my companion(the pet) and as a ranger herself had a question, she wants to befriend a krytan drakehound(dog found in human starter area) but she's afraid her warband will mock her for it.

I also found a computer panel that my human character couldn't understand but my Asura(super genius rat like race) could.

I like games that do tiny poo poo like this, its just so inconsequential, I imagine most people don't even take the time to speak or examine most of the game world, and yet they wrote lines for some of the smallest poo poo I can think off.

Just played the Mario Kart 8 DLC for the first time, that poo poo was loving AWESOME.

The Excitebike stage nearly brought tears to my eyes, Excitebike is the first game I ever played back in 87, it had the classic music, all the ramps, even the little bars during the countdown before the race starts.

The Zelda course was full of amazing little details and, the item roulette sound effect is replaced by the item jingle of Zelda games and coins are rupees instead, even the coin item turns into rupee, there's also a little secret if you bump into 3 gem things while going down a set of stairs that lets you jump through the master sword complete with the Zelda jingle you would expect.

The F-zero course replaced the starting sound effects with the F-Zero ones and the energy strips give you coins instead.

Really looking forward to the next ones.
