I love the achievements for Dead Rising 2: Off the Record because matching the game's lighter tone there are tons of goofy ones for things like killing 69 zombies or making a zombie slip in a puddle of vomit or wearing an entire outfit of women's clothes.

And true to the series there are some that are absolute fuckers, like beating the final boss with the pharmacist that you rescue at the very beginning of the game still in tow.

Not the final boss, the last psycho.

It is a bitch to do though because to even reach that psycho you need to do the entire story up until that point.

Not only that, but that track in Undertale samples some of the sounds from that fight in Earthbound, including the static making up the end part. Napstablook's battle theme also uses Venus's "vocals" from Earthbound, and Papyrus has a Starman emblem on his chestplate. Dude loves Earthbound.

Well he did make Earthbound romhacks prior to Undertale.

Project X Zone 2 has so many great little things in it, that ultimately stem from the fact that it respects every single franchise that it's using. It would've been so easy to be lazy about some of the titles it's pulling from, but they never are and it's great.

-At several points during scenes with Sakura Wars characters you can hear the jingle for relationship levels going up.
-M. Bison's bio describes him as using many different names and identities in different countries, because for some reason Street Fighter localizations kept shuffling names around in the early days.
-While most of the Resident Evil representation is pretty straight-faced, Jill's bio makes a point of calling her the Master of Unlocking.
-Phoenix Wright spends most of the game with no loving clue what's going on, playing a pretty good straight man... until like twenty chapters after his introduction, when one of the major villains is explaining something. Objection starts playing, the only point it ever plays in the game, as Phoenix interrupts her and dismantles her entire story.
-Basically any time Segata Sanshiro does or says anything. :allears:

BROFORCE is free on PSN. It features The Brode (kill bill) Cherry Broling w/ machine gun leg, Ellen Ripbro, 3 different Arnold bros, 2 chuck Norris bros, Brochette, universal Bromander aka JCVD, and many more.

Gameplaywise its exploration and death mechanics are like meatboys, its combat is like a more tactical metal slug, and there is a heavy emphasis on digging and blocky stuff like terreria. It's 4 player and it makes me and my gamercrew laugh like idiots. Brode (Blade) tears poo poo up with his sword, Neo can teleport all matrixy, Indiana Jones has a whip that he can climb ledges with and his special move is 6 individual instantly lethal shots with his revolver.

Also I loved having my most lethal weapon be FISTS, god I loved kicking the poo poo out of everything, there's one particular boss enemy that you tries to fight you hand to hand, if you defeat him in hand to hand Thorton will sound really winded and tired for the rest of the mission, just a really cool touch.

She voices a lot of things these days which is cool as someone who used to watch HAWP pretty often. I had no idea she played Chloe in Life is Strange until I was looking up things after the fact. Ms Pauling in TF2, too!

I will never not be amused over that Ashley Burch has such a prominent VA role in one of one of the most violent game series ever made when she herself loves to spout so much debunked bullshit about violence in games, but I suppose money will always trump morals.

And she is indeed quite talented, it takes a very special kind of VA to voice a bubbly pop idol in one of the most boring and monotone ways I have ever heard, shame Bailey was busy with Gears 4, we could have had her reprise her role in P4 Dancing all night.

My favorite thing about Dark Souls 3 is how they altered PvP to make ganking impossible, basically your weapons are set to the hosts, on top of that whenever you invade it seems to prioritize people with multiple phantoms so its quite rare for an invader to fight someone solo.

Its wonderful and the ganking babies are all up in arms. :allears:

The final boss in Dark Souls 3 is the most amazing thing I have ever fought.

:siren:MAJOR loving SPOILERS. :siren:

Essentially he goes through multiple transformations that resemble what a human player would use, from weapons to magic making for a crazy and unpredictable boss fight, in his final form he turns into Gwyn from the first game.

Other M. Any other 'bad' Nintendo game by my count is either disappointing but still alright on its own terms (Super Paper Mario) or only nominally a Nintendo game (Star Fox Adventures is an entirely unrelated Rare game with a Star Fox coat of paint), but Other M is inexcusible.

It's entirely possible I'm forgetting something, particularly from the NES era, but that's where I'm coming from.

This is some hilarious hoop jumping to justify a company's lovely outings.

But yea not sure where this derail come so on to favorite things, one thing I sort of enjoy sometimes is horrendously lovely physics and boy does Destiny have those in abundance, case in point is a particular enemy called a Phalanx of one of the factions, this enemy tends to hit you with their shield when they come close, for reasons that nobody can really explain these enemies to completely destroy the games physics and cause poo poo like this to happen.



I have another one of a human player punching me into orbit and getting me killed via impact damage so while Phalaxes will be the main cause of retarded deaths like this, it seems to be a problem with the game itself.

Yeah I'd say a good 50% of my deaths in that game was "Misadventure" or "the Architects" which, from what I understand, is basically "we don't loving know what killed you."

My theory is that in the moment of impact you might be clipping through the ground in some way and the game just launches you instead.

If anyone in this thread ever makes a videogame, please take this to heart: Always cheat with hitboxes in the player's favor. They'll probably still notice their spear hitting someone despite stopping an inch in front of them or an enemy attack clipping through their body and doing no damage. But it'll be so, so much less infuriating.

Unless you're making a fighting game, of course. Then go hog wild.



Post a better image then, Slayer's 6P isn't active in that frame you posted, its active once his shoulder moves forward and there's a good second delay from when you do the move and it hits.

I love that the capstone skill for Berserker's in Guild Wars 2 is a headbutt.

Most of the skills involve poo poo like literally summoning rocks and shattering them or kicking someone so hard they can fly off and knock other people down as well as a variety of abilities that mostly involve setting yourself on fire, and the final skill, the very last thing in the tree is a goddamn headbutt.

Its really powerful to and makes taking down champion break bars quite easy, also I'm fairly certain it has the lowest cooldown of any elite skill in the game.

All joking aside Roadhogg is a tank character who's gimmick is using a hook to pull people and holy poo poo is it satisfying, predicting where tracer is gonna teleport and one shotting that bitch, dragging Pharah out of the sky, killing Hanzo's as they vainly try to be zippy assholes, like I have never played a more satisfying character.

I'm glad people are coming around to liking FFX because it's my favorite FF game and in my top 5 games.

The reveal of Auron, the best character, being dead out of spite was great. He spat in the face of oblivion because he had more important poo poo to do. Tidus being a dream or whatever was a little more telegraphed but still shocking.
Yuna is one of those characters that I tend to hate because I used to be really impatient with timid people. Her growth, even though is subtle, showed a young me that everyone knows more than you about something.


That's a lot of words about a dumb anime game but I guess I played it just the right age.

I really liked how the actual final boss was such a gimme, like really showing how truly powerless Sin was when you discovered what he actually was.

Is a Winston stack really that dangerous? I've been on the receiving end of a few, and it seems like a single Lucio can keep them at bay relatively easily, between keeping people alive and pushing Winstons out of range. I had 22 eliminations with a streak of 17 as Lucio against a team of Winstons on Hollywood (well, until they started switching characters, but by that time we were so entrenched they couldn't get any further).

I haven't faced a stack of the two other characters, but thinking about it sounds like it would be hell. Tracer stacks can work, but really only on CP maps, where they can end the match before the defenders can adapt to the strategy.

Maybe not an entire team but 2 winstons working properly in tandem are an absolute nightmare, their gun does not need to be aimed, hits multiple people and they can cover themselves pretty good with their bubble shields, they can basically jump in on you and rip up your team pretty good and have amazing mobility, add a team that's taking advantage of the double winstons distraction and you're in for a bad time.

Double junkrats on certain maps is also very hard to deal with.
