Speaking of ambitious music, most composers for the Game Boy settled for 25 second loops. Not the guy composing the title theme for the first Robocop game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhZBDNQ3gas I wasn't the only person who liked that song growing up: http://kotaku.com/5885431/what-do-robocop-washing-machines-dilbert--lil-b-have-in-common

The latest addition to Heroes of the Storm (Blizzard's MOBA) is Cho'gall, a two-headed ogre from the Warcraft universe. Being a two-headed ogre he also requires two players to play, one of them in charge of the walking and clobbering and the other essentially being a mage turret. It's pretty funny since one of Blizzard's past April Fool jokes was about playing a two-headed ogre in World of Warcraft. The reason I bring it up though is because how Cho'Gall handles usernames. In Heroes of the Storm your name hovers over the character you are playing, but in the case of Cho'gall you have two players occupying one character. The way it handles is this is by chopping up both names and turning it into a name appropriate for an ogre. For example, if I were to team-up with somebody called WeedlordMcBlazeit, the name you'd see in-game would be either Mie'zeit or Wee'uker. It's a pretty funny addition to an already unique character.

I haven't played Fallout 4 but I think it would have been amazing if they intentionally made the looking for your son quest irrelevant. The idea is that you spend some time looking for him and finally you get a clue that leads to his location. At this point you find out he is an adult, living in the "tutorial town". In fact, you might have talked to him once only to find out he wasn't a noteworthy NPC. When you confront him it turns out you and him have nothing in common since he has spent the overwhelming majority of his life without you. At which point the player character realizes he/she is no longer the person who walked into the vault and got cryogenically frozen. What a poignant moment... You then just continue questing like you were already doing. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

1 also had "no, you don't understand, I have nothing" from those beggar ladies who would get in your face as soon as you got near them. I think everybody who played that game killed some of them with the assassin's blade at a certain point, because holy poo poo did that get annoying. On a whole that game suffered a lot from repetition. It really felt like a proof of concept where they spent so much time on the core mechanics that they had to rush the content. It worked out for the games afterwards though.

Steve Shultz posted:The first time I played I turned off the (ingame) TV that was giving me my first mission briefing the instant my boss started talking to me and went '....ok gently caress what do I do?' The dialogue you get if you do this is great though. Your character says something arrogantly about how he can handle things himself and your boss essentially goes "wait, what" before being cut off. Polaron posted:I don't think you bone Conrad's daughter. Conrad is probably gay, judging by some completely optional commentary when you infiltrate his mansion. That chick is someone else's daughter and if Conrad causes something bad to happen to her you can tell her father and he goes apeshit on Conrad, which leads to one of the few times Conrad's unflappable demeanor shatters. The other time being, of course, your example. It's the daughter of the intel guy at Alpha Protocol.

Blizzard's Hearthstone has had the following card since day one. For those who don't play the game, it costs 3 mana has 5 attack and 1 health. It's not a good card, since that one point of health means it's going to die to pretty much everything and make no impact (it can't attack on the turn it is summoned). In fact, there even was statistical data from the developer that it was the worst card in the game (a dubious honor it had for a loooong time). They ended up adding this card to The Grand Tournament expansion.  It's flavor text is "He's a lot cooler than Magma Rager" to drive the point further home (and even this superior card is rarely ever played). They are close to releasing another expansion which features some "corrupted" versions of existing cards. Today they revealed this card.

One of my favorite little things about Overwatch is characters being interrupted if they die mid-sentence. Pharah can unleash a barrage of rockets as her ultimate and she announces it with the line "Justice rains from above!". It's not uncommon for her to get sniped doing it and so you end up hearing "JUSTICE RAINS FR...*deathrattle*".

I think he was hired to punch up the script for Advent Rising but all the promo stuff made it sound like he wrote the entire thing. Of course those promos also talked about meaningful choices (do you save your girlfriend or your brother?) when that was the only choice there was. And then there was that million dollar contest that used Xbox Live, which had be halted because of "technical difficulties" (because technically the game wasn't selling that much). It's a fun game, but ooh boy was it a train-wreck from a publisher's side of things. I'd direct you to the site but it seems somebody else took over the domain adventtrilogy.com

Has to hide away so he doesn't scare the children." Winston, well-spoken gorilla scientist: "I don't think even children are afraid of you." Also, if Mercy (most healiest of healers) kills someone with a melee hit she says "you might not want to tell your friends about that" to further rub in that you were slapped to death by a support.

Double Agent had two different versions and the general consensus is that the "next-gen" version was the inferior one. Little details like that are a confirmation of that. Edit: "There are two separate versions of Double Agent. One version was made by Ubisoft Shanghai, who developed Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and was released on the Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, and PlayStation 3. The other version was made by Ubisoft Montreal (Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory) and was released for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube and Wii. The Ubisoft Shanghai version features a completely custom engine while the Ubisoft Montreal version plays more like the classic Splinter Cell games. The games share the same general plot but feature different storylines, plot twists, and levels. They do however, share the same background music, a few cut scenes and all voice actors. The version for mobile phones was developed by Gameloft." -Wikipedia Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 16:07 on Jul 26, 2016 |

Self-aware achievements are great. In Saints Row 2 one of the activities is Mayhem where you need to destroy as much as possible in a limited amount of time. Each thing you destroy has it's own score value but generally you want many targets instead of high value targets, because this increases your score multiplier and prevents the combo counter from timing out. Now the easiest way to pull that off is to destroy fences since each fence post counts as a separate target. You can just drop remote explosives all over a neighborhood, hit the detonator to destroy all those fences and rack up a big score multiplier. It'll also instantly draw a lot of police attention so you can start destroying their vehicles to keep the combo going. The sequel Saints Row III has an achievement for completing all the Mayhem activities. It's called Fence Killa 2011.
