mrkillboy posted:I really like some of the background interactions in the game. Most of them are fairly mundane but there's something ridiculous about The Flash hopping on a motorcycle and running your opponent over with it. I like that everybody's ultimate move is some crazy complex combo, except Superman who's just like "k, you're going to space now *effortlessly uppercuts you into orbit*".

I only rented Deus Ex: Human Revolution, so I didn't get very far in the story. But even in that short time, I found something to love: it lets you suckerpunch people, and not only that, to suckerpunch people as a valid resolution to quests.

My favorite thing about Last of Us is how the game would echo my own reactions. There was one part where I found a music store, and just as I realized "all this music will never be heard again..", Ellie spoke up with the same sentiment.

HMS Boromir posted:If you replay a mission in which you lost a soldier, you can have them survive it, but instead of being able to jump back to a later mission and use the newly revived soldier, it creates a branching timeline on the campaign screen - one for each time you completed a mission more than once. If you're a perfectionist, you can easily have dozens of aborted timelines reminding you of every time you decided you could do better, but also still allowing you to continue from there if you want to see what that mission would've been like if you'd accepted the loss of your best mechanic or whatever. That is pretty fuckin' cool. I'll have to pick that up.

a kitten posted:I recently started playing Final Fantasy XIV. Like a lot of MMOs you can get mini-pets for your character, and I love the fact that some of them do more than just hang out with you. There's a coeurl (magic leopard) kitten that will jump into the fray and take teeny-tiny swats at enemies. Whenever you get into combat, the kitten arches its back and hisses at the enemy.

scarycave posted:That took some serious balls to put that in the game. I'm gonna list that as a favorite thing for the thread: the treatment of Circle of Lust in Dante's Inferno. Given some of the promotional stuff they did (and videogames in general), I was rather worried it would be all "sexy demoness fetish funtimes", but no. It was disgusting and vile and corrupt and, rather appropriately, made me say "goddamn  " when I played it.It's really a shame that the game's only remembered, if at all, for being one of the God of War knockoffs, because I thought it did an excellent job in bringing Hell to life.

poptart_fairy posted:Dead Space 3 had kinda crappy writing true, but there was one blend of QTE and writing I really liked - In God of War: Chains of Olympus Kratos has been forgiven of his sins by Persephone and entered Elysium, reuniting with his daughter. Then he finds out he was tricked by Persephone to get him out of the way so she can take revenge on Olympus and revert the universe to Chaos, so he has to leave Elysium and get his powers back. They make it a QTE to mash O to push your daughter away as she clings to you and begs you not to go. Then you gently caress up Heaven as she watches in horror.

The Journal in FFXIV updates with each stage of any quest with a little description/summary, usually snide. "Unfamiliar with the face of Eorzea's savior, the Brass Blades attempt to rearrange your heroic features with predictable results. Having demonstrated your primal-shaming capacity for violence, inquire of the remaining Blade if he is now willing to cooperate."

It's not a thing "in" a game, but when I preordered Infamous 2, I got a courier backpack like Cole's, and it's been a drat fine backpack. I've used it for four years now and it's not wearing out or anything.

I'd like to play a game where you work for The Empire or morally grey organization and you don't wind up getting betrayed by your bosses and joining the Noble Resistance/taking over for yourself. It doesn't have to be a game where you're evil, exactly - the Grey Warden in Dragon Age 1 kinda counts, since your job is to fight the Archdemon by any means necessary and the game/the Warden hierarchy never shouts at you KARMA LOST BAD ENDING, but you're also pretty much on your own the whole time. Mr House's path in New Vegas is the only one I can think of at the moment like what I'm talking about.

It's not exactly a "little thing" because it's part of the game's overarching theme, but I still love how you start off with the classic Old West Colt Revolver and slowly upgrade until you're using the brand-spanking new 1911 semiauto pistol to shoot people in duels at high noon.

Lego Jurassic World, like the other Lego games, has basically every single character from its franchise unlockable. Unlike the others, there's no hub that you select missions from, so in addition to buying characters from a menu, you can also find them on the islands during free-roam, usually where they got killed - the lawyer is in the bathroom near the T. rex paddock, Nedry is in his car down in a muddy wrong-way turn, the family of the little girl who got attacked by Compys at the start of Lost World is on Isla Sorna's dock, and the parasailer in JP3 is stuck up a tree until you cut him down (fortunately not skeletonized).

BioEnchanted posted:In Dragonball Xenoverse everything revolving around Beerus is hilarious. In the first fight with him, over spilled pudding no less, Trunks laments that "GOD This fight started for the STUPIDEST POSSIBLE REASON!" as the fight progresses, then the villain tries to take over Beerus and make him blow up the world despite him promising not to if the fight was interesting. Beerus then throws the shot he's charging to his right, towards the primary villain and just scolds him with "DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT YOU COULD CONTROL THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION!" and you then team up with him to kick his rear end. Beerus is the only good thing to come out of this godawful Dragonball revival.

ImpAtom posted:The actual gameplay mechanics are super shallow. The world itself is largely empty and has very little to do that isn't just driving around. It has impressive size and detail but is largely skin-deep as there's no meaningful way to interact with most of it. It's massive but that size actually works against it because the interesting things to do in the world are spread out extremely thinly. It's polished as hell and a very impressive achievement but it's got little to do in-world if you're not interested in just driving around causing things to explode. (And if you're looking to cause things to explode a lot of the competition is less polished but offers more options.) Also, San Andreas is fun.

During the God of War series, Kratos often winds up taking the place of the myth heroes; killing the Hydra, recovering the Golden Fleece, 'freeing' Prometheus, etc. So in 3, Hercules shows up angry that you've been stealing his fame and declares he's gonna smash your face in for it.
