More from Deus Ex: HR: at some point there's a list of usernames and logins that are all famous science-fiction writers, and if you check a particular computer, you find out someone's employing Kevin Mitnick as a hacker. Also, you'll know this if you beat the second boss: Newsanchor Eliza Cassan turns out to be an AI. ELIZA is one of the first examples of chat bots.

Even though she projects holograms and can appear to people in person all day long if she wants I guess?

I have to start about Deus Ex again, because I just hacked Pritchard's computer and found the e-mail from Picus where they tell him that no, they really aren't interested in his pitch for a TV show starring a superhacker who operates from the shadows, and their target group would be a lot more interested in a cop or ex-cop protagonist. No wonder the poor guy doesn't like Adam. I also enjoy it a lot every time I find the Nigerian spam mail on a random computer in the bowels of a black ops facility, and I hope at some point I come across someone who was clearly dumb enough to reply to it.

That could as well be from Deus Ex. I went into vents so much I started feeling like a spider with a tranq rifle. One of the bits that analyzes your gameplay choices should have been like "unfortunately the augmentations instilled an irrational fear of open space in Jensen's mind."

There's a note on Adam's broken mirror saying "bug management about the mirror replacement, AGAIN." If you use Adam's PC, there's an e-mail from building management about how the delayed replacement is a manufacturer issue and no amount of urging will get them to do it faster. So far, so obvious, but if you go deeper and hack the building manager's PC there's an e-mail from the mirror manufacturer saying it's been ready for two weeks and could they please get someone to pick it up already.

When you hack Pritchard's PC you discover than he's been pitching a show outline about a crime-fighting hacker (who just happens to use Pritchard's own handle) to the networks, and they've repeatedly rejected it because their research shows that audiences prefer stronger and more proactive protagonists, maybe ex-cops. No wonder he doesn't like Adam.

In The Last of Us you're often being subtly guided by environmental signs that might say ONE WAY or EXIT. At one point you're trying to escape an area and have to go through a building, and once you unblock the entrance an EXIT sign stares you in the face, that sort of thing. (Granted, it could be I'm giving the environmental design too much credit, since you are looking for one literal exit or another most of the time, but I think it's deliberate.) In the final sequence, you're escaping from a hospital and run through an ophthalmologist's office where the eye chart spells out RUN YOU ARE ALMOST AT THE DOOR.

The first Mario Kart 8 DLC pack came out today, featuring Link and a Hyrule-themed track. On that track, they replaced all the coins with rupees and the usual piranha plants with deku babas. What I like even more than that, though, is that Link is too tall for the karts and has to pull his knees up uncomfortably high to fit in.

Cleretic posted:If we can say that SR3 did one thing to add to the franchise, it's incorporating the soundtrack like that. Personally, my favorites are the Deckers mission in the power plant, and You're The Best Around, but even if 3's musical missions were nothing to write home about they would've been worth it, just because they paved the way for You've Got The Touch. Granted, I perfected a synchronized superpower display routine, so there's an element of balance there.

And SR4 started its life an an expansion to SR3. Volition is the best company in the world at making finished bits and pieces into a coherent whole, but it still shows through occasionally.Hijo Del Helmsley posted:Yeah, it felt like it almost wasn't aware of the madness you could create. From SR3 on, it was too self-referrential, encouraging you to make a dumb character.

AngryRobotsInc posted:Basch was the main character early in development, before it shifted to Vaan and Panelo. The development team claimed it was because their previous game with a 'strong, grown man in his prime' hadn't done well. That game being Vagrant Story, with Ashley and his assless pants. Vaan is nothing but the party gofer. The adults decide important things in the back room of some tavern while he has the important task of going out and buying 99 potions and taking Balthier's vests to the laundromat.

Just replayed Portal 2 recently, it's incredibly good for little things, especially the Cave Johnson section. All the old posters on the walls illustrate very well how Aperture was run in those days ("Remember to call a supervisor if you see OHSA inspectors"), and of course there's the whole thing where they went from athletes and war heroes as test subjects to badly paid volunteers to their own staff. My favourite poster is about the volunteers: right near that section's exit there's a booth where they would have picked up their payment with a sign that says "all forms must be filled out correctly to receive payment of $60." Not only did Aperture cover their asses so they could deny payment abitrarily, but the "$60" line is also a sticker covering a considerably larger number.

They had that in GTA IV already, it was pretty cool. I think after all the variations had played you'd just drive in silence if you had to retry again. If I'm not mistaken they even put in some "let's just drive, Niko" lines for those events.

At the very least, the radio stations in GTA III and Vice City were single long audio files. Matter of fact, straight up MP3s in the PC versions - for VC you could simply change the file extension and you were good to go.

Between things like being able to paint your combat helicopter gold and have it blare 80s songs or paint it and your base pink and fulton everything that's not scenery, I don't like saying it but Saints Row had better step up its game if they're doing another one.
