EDIT: This may not count, since it was a glitch, but during one of the briefings in Arma 3 a soldier was bugged out and kept doing the drawing a rifle animation, but no gun was in his hand and he kept doing it over and over again. It really distracted me and was hilarious, I just looked over to my left and there he was, pretending to draw a gun on his superior officer.

VVV fffff

I believe the dialogue in Halo 2 would change depending on the difficulty. Just do the mission where you start with a tank on the bridge, Johnson has a different speech on each difficulty.

My sim in Sims 3 befriended the person that was burglarizing him.

I believe in 2 you had the option to bust out the burglar that gets caught by the police, you just click on the police car when they arrive. And the cop gets pissed at you for wasting his time.

I thought at first you were talking about Xenoblade fans sarcastically. Xenoblade fans are getting as bad as Dark Souls ones.

I'm pretty sure in a previous dragging things down thread I posted how I disliked just how liberal the game is with XP and I had to intentionally ignore stuff so I wouldn't over level. I'm sure no one responded with "You're just bad" about it. If I posted the same thing about Dark Souls there would be at least one guy who has to get in here to defend DS's honor.

In FF14 there is a line an NPC says to you to the effect of "You're just gonna stare stoically and nod at me right?" And your character does just that. As the game goes on the dialogue gets a bit more self aware.

In MGS4 you can pat down people you hold up, ending in snake crushing their balls with his hands and knocking them out. There are some enemies though that are female and needless to say, trying to nut crush them doesn't work. It ends with them calling snake a pervert and kicking him.

Does it count if I didn't play the game myself?

Clock Tower 2 (American version): Bates, a spirit that possesses the main character. Its like someone sat down and went "How do I write a character that is sick of horror tropes?" This guy gets outright pissed off at people, calling them shits, boots a possessed samurai suit in the dick and grabs the knife that a possessed doll has been chasing you with and stabs her with it (and boots her several times in the face prior).

Its loving great, you almost forget that the game is actually trying to be a legit horror game.

Whats really great is that I googled "glass him" randomly at work (sometimes those last 5 minutes take forever to come) and the search results are just full of people complaining that they should of used clearer wording cause they didn't want to smash a shot glass onto the woodsman and they thought "glass him" meant pouring him a glass (:psyduck:)

Yeah, it happens in FFVIII, too. Selphie tries to use cure on a moomba in the D-District Prison, and it just hurts the thing because of the anti-magic field.

Whats great is that this anti magic field is immediately ignored cause you can immediately use magic again and is never brought up again. Its like the anti-GF propaganda about losing your memories. Its some blatant handwave and is never brought up again.

Best one is making infinite gold/guile EXP by selling potions and buying them back when you have enough points that shopkeepers buy them for more than they sell them for.

Its that kind of charm that made those older games fun, especially Morrowind. Make potions that can let you leap far into the distance so fast the game cannot keep up with you and has to load, make a scroll that shatters the enemy's equipment, make a spell that burns everyone in a 50 foot radius, make an amulet that would constantly regen your MP before MP regeneration was a thing and yes, making a potion that shot up your personality and mercantile so high you could buy anything for 1 gold and sell it back for all of the merchant's money.

As a reminder: These fun things that broke the game if you knew what you were doing was why Oblivion's and Skyrim's magic systems were neutered.

The funny thing is there's posts in the "things dragging a game down" thread that go "Skyrim is bad because of how easy it is to break with enchanting" I will never stop being amused over the ability to break the game popping up in both threads.

Well yeah you can break it, but not in a way that Morrowind does it. Skyrim you can do some enchantments where you get like 2 million health regen per second, but you can't make a spell that breaks the armor of everyone in a 50 foot radius or make your own form of fast travel be jumping across the land.

In non TES games, I'm playing Metro 2033 and there is a level where someone you're traveling with runs into some bandits and you have to save him. You can just go loud and kill everyone, or go silent and kill everyone. Now at the end of the mission another friendly character pops up and the loading screen has the main character mention "It felt like someone was helping me from the shadows".

If you go stealth the guy actually DOES help you by shooting some enemies with a pneumatic crossbow, I have never noticed this before and confused the hell out of me when I heard what sounded like a snake hissing and the enemy in front of me suddenly has a bolt in his chest.

I have no idea why I'm remembering this, but I remember the Call of Duty games from 4 til.. at least Black Ops, would have no problems spawning you in the middle of an explosion or the route of a bullet so you could die instantly. I have no idea who let that slip, since I never have had that happen in other FPS's.

I can't find the video but I remember long ago for Modern Warfare 3 (iirc) they brought back the airplane terminal map from MW2 and there was a way where if your entire team got on top of an airplane and they all had LMGs with the perk that increased bullet penetration you could literally just spray a certain corner where the enemy team would always spawn and constantly kill them for minutes straight until you ran completely out of ammo. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that activision never patched it before they dropped it completely for the next yearly release.

In Arma 3, I don't know if its just this mod or if its the AAF faction as a whole, but sometimes when I call for a sitrep it will go something like "All, sitrep........... over".

In FF14 you can see other player's retainers (they gather items for you) out in the field fishing or logging. If you get close they will say things, sometimes they refer to the person they work for and that name is SephirothxXx. What is surprising is that there is actually no player named this, and its funny cause they're mocking people who can't make a unique name and just put <videogame/animecharacter>xxxxetc.

In Skyrim if a dead thing is currently being resurrected (say by an enemy necromancer) you can "snipe" the corpse from them by throwing your resurrection spell at it mid animation. It lead to a fun fight between me and some necromancers where I killed one of them and went to resurrect and the enemy actually threw a resurrection at it and stole it from me. I dunno if the AI knows it can do it or if it was a freak coincidence but it was pretty cool, me and the enemy "competing" for corpses.

A great little thing in PE 2 is the cinematic near the end of the game, in which human soldiers obliterate a squadron of Pawn Golems through use of superior tactics and equipment - the beginning of the scene has all of the markings of a Resident Evil scene, with close quarters enemies against gun using soldiers, and then surprise. I love this scene.


Its one of the rare times people other then the protagonist does something competent in games. Otherwise those soldiers would just die and its up to you, the badass protagonist, to save the day..

I'm glad that MGS 5 includes a knock to begin with. If a stealth game isn't balanced in a way that includes an infinitely usable close-range noisemaker then it's not a very good game imo. I still have Sam Fischer whistling in my head to this day.

iirc one of the Splinter Cell games had coop and the enemy could hear your talking to eachother over the mic, I believe there was a tip (maybe it was online) that was specifically "Don't yell at your teammate, the enemy can hear!"

More stealth games should let you distract the enemy by saying "penis penis penis penis" in your mic
