So I've been playing Kirby: Planet Robobot (big surprise), and in level 4-1, you find yourself in a desert. The first enemy you encounter gives the Whip power, which also gives you a cowboy hat. And there are forks in the background, presumably standins for cacti. Thing is, though, on that screen, there's pasta wound into the forks. It's a spaghetti western.

MiddleOne posted:Zero Escape has the first ending literally after the first choice of the game, 3 minutes in. Absolutely amazing, why did I ever worry about purchasing this game. Can somebody find the video of the joke ending in Headhunter where Jake nopes out of the whole evil lab thing, leaving Angela behind? I know it exists, but I can't seem to find the magic combination of keywords. E: also, I remember there being a tank-based RPG where the first choice in the game is basically 'do you want to go on an adventure? Y/N', and if you choose 'no', you stay home and do the family business, game over. I don't recall what it was called, though.

The alert sound played a factor in my choosing of my current ring tone. By which I mean that one of my thoughts was 'I want to find a sound I will hear in no other context so I will always know when it is and is not my phone. I don't want to be the guy who does this:'

If I could come up with a way to save state the game, I'd be tempted to do an Alpha Protocol LP that just pretends it's a really big Choose-Your-Own-Adventure novel.

scarycave posted:Speaking of Zelda shopkeepers, I think it's pretty funny that the shopkeeper in Link's Awakening roasts you if you steal and comeback. Technically, they start calling you THIEF once you successfully steal, unrelated to any potential frying if you return to the shop. But yeah, I only ever did that once, and only because I'd been told something would happen; I didn't even think to try to steal. e: ninja'd.

Sentient Data posted:The genesis/megadrive controller was great simply because it had a C button which let games use "ABRACADABRA" as a cheat code (R and D are right and down on the d-pad respectively if not obvious) I was partial to the Genesis Shadowrun's cheat code being BARRACUDA.

This belongs more in the other thread, but the first time I had to enter that password, I screwed it up. The resulting scene is much better, I think, than the one you get if you get it right, which is basically 'hug, give accessory'.

I watched someone stream The Devil's Daughter, another Sherlock Holmes game, and I thought it was neat that the game never came out and told you that you'd messed up the solution to a case, much less brought the game to a screeching halt. In fact, a few cases after he'd gotten a case wrong, he got a bit of flavor text about the previous case - and it still didn't tell him he goofed.

I've been playing Make More, a mobile clicker game, for the past couple of days. Periodically, you'll get random bonuses like click multipliers or faster workers, and you're given the option to triple their duration by either watching an ad or spending a funbuck. Whenever the speedup bonus using a boom box shows up, I watch the ad if I can. Why? Because the boom box changes the music that plays to a knockoff version of 'What Is Love'.

This would belong in the other thread, but one of my pet peeves is when games simultaneously deride and include a game element. It's not funny to talk about how sewer levels suck, but it's especially not funny to talk about how sewer levels suck in a sucky sewer level. If you're going to make the joke in the first place, have the protagonist refuse to go into the sewer or something. For content: I've been playing Guild Wars 2 lately, and I love how organic the quests can get with all the different ways they show up. I just finished an hour-long chain of events that I found while trying to log a waypoint and was probably the most fun I've had doing an escort quest. (It helps that, by and large, the escortees were competent, and worst-case scenario I could revive them after clearing out the area.) And I didn't have to officially accept any quests or wait my turn to get my ten pristine frog ears or whatever; the first event in the chain was already in progress, and I just chipped in. Other players showed up at various parts, did what interested them, and wandered off.

I bought INXS's Kick because it would make a rare monster (a disc that looked like a soccer ball) in Monster Rancher. Then I gave the CD to my brother as a Christmas present. I also rented 'Hackers' just so I could get a rare monster in Monster Rancher 4 (that was a PS2 title, so it could use DVDs as well as CDs). Speaking of which, I did an LP of Monster Rancher 4, which you can look up on the LP Archive if you care. I think that was the last good Monster Rancher game (3 was kind of odd, and the less said about EVO or the portable titles the better). It let you raise multiple monsters simultaneously, which was a nice quality-of-life feature. e: hm. Looks like all the videos in the LP are busted. I still have them, so it should be simple enough to get the maintainer to link them back in. FredMSloniker has a new favorite as of 18:10 on Jun 6, 2017 |

Nude posted:Yeah I think I see what you're getting at, there is no in game reward for killing someone. Games like Undertale you get branching paths so in a weird way it feels like your forced to if you want to see everything, so it feels less genuine. Well, at least in Undertale specifically, the whole point of the branching paths is that the game can legit call out the player for making awful decisions because they 'want to see everything'. Unlike something like Spec Ops, which tries to go 'oh well if you want to be a good person you could just not play the game', Undertale offers a significantly more satisfying experience, bonus boss aside, if you show some restraint. I still think some people going OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE I AM LITERALLY HITLER is an overreaction, but I also think giving the player the option to not be a jerk is important if you're going to criticize them for being one.

Guy Mann posted:It was cool how Golden Sun had a code you could enter at the beginning of the game that let you choose the names of all the major characters and not just your party. Though I imagine that was part of the reason why the codes to transfer your data to the sequel were so massive. Shining Force 2 was the same way. I never did anything wacky with it, though; I just named the characters with mixed case so the NPCs wouldn't shout about LEMON every time he came up.

CzarChasm posted:Hadn't seen in mentioned here, but for anyone who played the original, there was an HD remake of Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Curse released on Steam (and consoles I think) back in early summer. I don't know if you knew this already, but try pressing the graphics toggle repeatedly for a while. Like, try to keep the transition line between modern and retro graphics on screen as long as you can. There's an Easter egg involved.

maou shoujo posted:Having a trophy for it incentivizes you to go for that ending, which runs counter to the game's theme of player choice. Well, my thinking was that (and I admit I haven't played more than an hour of Undertale, so I could well be missing the point) the game tells you that the only reason you would get that ending is because you feel compelled to experience all the content of the game and don't care about 'murdering' a bunch of video game characters to get it. That's why I thought an achievement for reaching that ending would be appropriate. And because I'm more familiar with Xbox achievements than Playstation trophies, I thought it should be a 0-point achievement to fit the other theme of the ending, which is that you're not rewarded for reaching it. It would be an acknowledgement, nothing more. On reflection, maybe it would be more appropriate to give such an 'achievement' for getting the Genocide ending, then getting the Soulless Pacifist ending.

I was playing Game Dev Story the other day and was surprised to discover that a Golf RPG is one of the second best type/genre combinations. Prophetic!
