In Hades, your character's goal is to leave Tartarus while being thwarted by the big guy himself. Every time you die, you go back to the House of Hades; there you can find Cerberus whom you can deliver many pets and scritches. Seeing as you will die many times, you get many chances to give many scritches to a good boy.

When you get to the last gateway out of Hell, you'll find Cerberus waiting for you, ready to defend to the last...

Except your character refuses to fight him, and instead just bribes him with doggy treats to get out.

Does the crouch by itself help, or does it need the follow-through? Either way it's cool, though I still have no clue what my combat style will be in the end.

The Australian desert is big enough that there was an uncontacted tribe wandering around in it until the 1980's.

When somebody told them about running water that came out of pipes they went "whaaaaaaaaat?!?"

Wait, wasn't the chained floating island Mt Woe? And speaking of, Mt Woe is good if you like giant chains. The entire area is chained together on chains large enough that you use them to access the different maps, and it gives the feeling that the entire thing would fall apart if it wasn't for the chains.

The best fake ending is Kid Icarus: Uprising, because it seems like the actual ending to a kind of short launch title where the replay value comes from scouring for unlockables and random drops and upping the difficulty.

But nope! The real main bad tears down the credits. You’re only 2/5 of the way through.

And then, a few levels later, it starts to get really crazy.

why do they allow people to go near the water at all if it will loving eat you, why is the water not fenced off or something

Mystic knight from Dragons Dogma will forever be my favourite class from any game.

Overall I found it less spooky than sunless seas but it definitely has its moments, that being one of them. There's some fantastically creepy random(ish) encounters in that game.

Is that the airboat section? I heard so much bitching about that at release but I loved it when I played.

The RPGs are amazing in HL2. They track forever until they either hit the target or somehow whip back around and explode in your face

Play arkham city/ origins / knight. play mad max. play saints row. play GTA. play horizon, zero dawn. all of those, off the top of my head, are better than sleeping dogs. Half those games aren't set in the US, and in one you're cop, another, a vigilante on the side of the law. No idea what you're trying to say here. Sleeping dogs is massively overrated.

Olaf, if you address Pastry like this again you're getting more than a twelve. You're pretty fortunate he saw your post before I did.

Writing and teaching math in HL: Alyx It's rather impressive what you can do in it. My friend got it when it came out, and the plan was to visit and play some of it to check it out, but...

Anyway a little thing I've noticed more and more in games with character customization that I've liked lately is the game never explicitly asking if you or your body is male/female. In Animal Crossing, for example, you're simply given an option between two 'settings', with no mention of gender, some games just ask what you look like, etc. If I remember right, even The Division 2 did something similar.

Some more stuff from Witcher 3:

I like how a lot of quests have no clear-cut "Good" solution to the problem. Sometimes you're just left guessing what sounds like the lesser evil, and then way later, there's some unexpected Butterfly Effect, you go "oh wow, I hosed that one up."

It's also neat how the quests have a suggested level before attempting them, but the game doesn't stop you from trying. "You'll probably get your rear end stomped if you go over here too soon, but you just do you."
It's something I really enjoyed about Dragon's Dogma too, being free to wander into an area where I'm obviously under-powered and getting slapped around. I'd much prefer that over being stonewalled and told YOU MUST BE LEVEL 10 TO PROCEED.

BTW, if you liked Witcher 3, you'll probably like Dragon's Dogma, and vice versa.

Been playing RE 2 Remake since it was on sale and we're all inside forever, and I really love Tyrant's footsteps. A good set of headphones means I can hear precisely where he is in the building, to the point of thinking "alright, he's upstairs somewhere in the hallway outside of the STARS office" when I'm coming out of the 1st floor save room.

I'm always a little disappointed when people post about how they're struggling with Prey and it turns out they missed the entire arsenal of weapons that you can find for free in the first hour of gameplay if you just explore thoroughly.

Which is exactly why I was so disappointed when the remake of 3 went right back to action movie quips and snarky jokes about how umbrella doesn't make sense, isn't that weird? And Jill just constantly talks poo poo to the monsters. 2 was done so well, and 3 just fumbled on every level.

Al Cu Ad Solte posted:

Jill doesn't do this at all in RE3. She talks poo poo to Nemesis and sounds like she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown the entire time, one of the lines is just straight from the original RE3. She also has experience dealing with most of them and is a fairly hardened cop, unlike Leon and Claire.

I know RE3 has issues but I feel like people are coming up with things to be mad about it for some reason.
