In Saints Row IV they had a whole mission that was basically Metal Gear Solid Saints Row style. You got to hide in a cardboard box, crawl through a vent, avoid the guard to prevent an exclamation mark appearing above his head.. All with hilarious commentary. "Why waste two bullets on shooting out those lights when I could use just one on the guard?" It was awesome.

I'm one of those dicks that has the MGS codec sound for texts and alert sound for everything else on my phone. Yes it gets confusing if I'm playing the games and get an email or whatever but that's balanced out by the inevitable jump of panic that it gives any other nerds in the vicinity.

I have the ps1 alert theme for my ringtone. Including the "Snake? Snake! SNAAAAAKE!"

Mine is BOX BOX. Super uncreative. Is there a box picture? I have the foxhound logo on it now but I would like box x 3.

Do it a few more times and when they come over to investigate, abandon the box there. There's a much funnier radio conversation that can ensue if you've made them suspicious enough to shoot the now-empty box.

Probably mentioned but I just noticed that D-Dog whines sadly if you kill a dude but barks (or something can't remember right now) positively if you choke the dude.

I also now have one FEMALE on my staff that's not Quiet. As a FEMALE I am pleased at this.

I love how the AI has a desire to not die. For example: truck with 2 dudes pull up to an outpost. If they see one knocked out guy they leave the truck to check it out, BUT if then I kill one of the truck dudes the other is like "gently caress that," gets back in the truck and drives away.

I'm currently massacring a huge area and the regular supply truck came up. They saw there were no people to greet them so they got out to see what was going on, the warning music came on, the truck guys walked away from the truck and saw the dozens of dead bodies......... and got back in the truck and bye

So I learned a neat little trick that I like a lot for an annoying mission, thanks to a bug in MGSV.
So at one point there's a mission where you have to escort some child soldiers out of a battle field, it's a pain in the rear end because if they die you get a game over and you have to carry one. Right at the end the AI messed up and they stopped moving so I tried to see what would happen if I shot them all with tranqs and carried them to the chopper. It was fine. There's also a base right next to where you find them, with a landing point. You could cut the mission time for this in half just by clearing that base and calling in the helicopter and shoving all those little soldiers on in like ten seconds and getting the hell out of there. Spectacular.

:doh: I just did this and at the time didn't realize I could tranq them. Throughout the river part I keep thinking of a post about the mission that explained the easy way to do it (this post), but I was too lazy to look for it. And I had the stupid camp cleared out and anti-air radar destroyed and everything. Still got S rank but took an extra 20-30 minutes because I was going for no kills/no combat alerts ugh.

No "cat" or "meow" or "murder" = bad list.

They should have just gotten one of those robotic voices that pronounces everything like for telemarketing things. So that 'Meow Kill McMurdercat' would be properly addressed.

Head shots actually kill people in one shot, unlike pretty much every other game where it just takes a portion of their health away. Pretty sure in real life shooting someone in the head doesn't still allow them to continue to perfectly aim and shoot a machine gun at you. So yay for realism.

--this is in free aim, not vats. I don't like vats so I dunno if it's the same there.

E: every other game when you're not using a sniper rifle.

Though 'Tis but a scratch would be funnier if one of his arms fell off during a fight.

I like how Fallout 4 followers don't "like" or "dislike" things you do that they don't see.

So Piper likes it when I pick locks, but disapproves if I pick an "owned" lock. (Because theft? I don't know)

The solution is to tell her to walk away and pick the lock while her back is turned. Didn't see it, doesn't know about it, can't not like it!

I tried that with the lorenzo quest because she either disapproves of one option, or hates the other option. I told her to return to sanctuary but the elevator was locked, so even though she was separated by walls and couldn't really see me, she still got mad.

It's also frustrating with Mama Murphy because sometimes people see and sometimes the don't. E: I guess I could send everyone to a different settlement but :effort:

I don't think it is totally random, because I had a thing happen where a settler was begging for help, and when I followed her into a building it turns out it was a trap and I got bum rushed by at least six guys who all looked exactly like Trevor. I killed their long lost brother later as well.

I liked that all that wasn't part of a mission though, just a thing that happened.

Since it is a thing in RDR and GTA V where a person distress waves you down and you try to help them only to end up getting shot at by a ton of bad dudes, it wouldn't surprise me if it was intentional.

Someone mentioned your Fallout 4 character saying things like "Sure" "I see..." and "Go on..." when you're advancing a conversation. After drinking, this changes to, "SING IT BROTHER!" "eeeeeYUP" and a sassy "MM-HMM!" I discovered this while one of my companions was telling me their sad life story.

I tried this with my female character and was sorely disappointed. She could barely muster a "yes!" The only somewhat funny thing was going up to Danse and her sort of slurring "'scuse me." And "hey... You". But the slurring was so weak for having drank 20 beers.

On a related note, Drinkin' Buddy is my favorite and I refuse to finish that quest. He is mine forever.

Fallout 4 has four go-to talk options, with the 'top' choice being a question, the right being 'bad dude', bottom 'good dude', and left being neutral/sarcastic.

When you hit an arrow to skip dialog, you'll mumble something along the same lines. "What? Huh...?" for question, "Yes, go on" for 'good dude'

And the bad dude skips are hilarious and seem to be tuned to many specific characters. "If I have to talk to one more ghoul :argh:" "Nice hat, idiot" "Shut uuuuppp"

This doesn't seem to work on ps4 unless I am confused :(

It's the right (direction) option so O on PS4 and B on Xbox and I assume right arrow on PC? When some dumbass is giving you their life story hit that button to skip their lines. Now that I got it to work she just went " blah blah blah...." At some dude.

Desdemona started giving a speech about how bad The Institute is and how we have to kill themand my character just went rear end. HOLE.

Bleeter is funny/adjusts to the story too. Also the news, and there's so many of them. There's at least 3-4 new news stories after every mission/major (and sometimes minor) event in the game. All the little details in GTAV are awesome.

I wound up not skipping cutscenes because after a while I think I developed stockholm syndrome and started thinking of it like resident evil and if you look at it where it's supposed to be intentionally obnoxious and overly anime then it's actually kind of funny. The sequel does it even better, especially the ending. I actually like 13-2's ending because I just could not stop laughing the whole time. I still have to buy Lightning Returns now that it's on steam :suicide:

LR is so bad that it's good as a comedy. In the opening cutscene there's a battle and Snow or whatever his name is (tall, blonde douchey guy) goes, "drat you, Lightning!" It sounds so forced and it's such a non-threatening phrase to use in the middle of a huge, intense fight that I laughed for a good 5 minutes.

How dare you not enjoy video games the proper way, which is the way I believe, furthermore




I like how in some games they build in cheat codes, don't try to hide them/punish you for using them, and have no problems with people modding. Like Sims 3. You can type in the cheat and just get 1000000$ and do whatever the gently caress you want, or max the sims' skills so you don't have to sit through 5 hours of them learning guitar or whatever. I haven't played sims 4 so I dunno if they still do that but I assume they do.
