Replaying MGS4 reminded me of one of my favorite little things: the TV shows at the beginning. It's amazing to see David Hayter talking to the woman who plays Big Mama while wearing the Solid Eye. Also, all of Kojima's pseudo-philosophical babblings throughout the series are fantastic. Maybe it's just because I discovered the series as an impressionable and miserable sixteen year old, but Snake's speech to Raiden about genes at the end of MGS2 really stuck with me for a long time.

Typing of the Dead: Overkill and all its DLC was on the Steam Summer Sale yesterday, so my boyfriend picked it up and we've both been playing (thanks, Steam Family Sharing!) The Filth of the Dead Dictionary DLC is the best thing ever. I never thought that I'd be killing

In Tomodachi Life, you can give the Miis that populate your island presents when they level up. They actually use the presents when they're on their own. I gave a rent-a-cat coupon to one of my Miis awhile ago, and when I checked on him just now he was playing with a black cat in his apartment

I had the oddest and yet most thematically perfect glitch happen in Sleeping Dogs' Year of the Snake DLC. After the cultists put out their first bomb threat, the game glitched so there were no people or cars anywhere on the roads except Wei and the mission target. It gave this eerie feeling that all of the district's people had hidden in their homes after hearing about the threat, and everything felt so empty. This game is awesome

In Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, I love how the laser sword changes colors each time you put it away and bring it back out. I don't even care that it kind of sucks in practice, it just looks so cool!

muscles like this? posted:SR4 did some weird stuff, like making it super easy to drive any car you wanted since you could pull any car you've driven into the world at any time. Except after about an hour of story you get super powers that make it so you never want to get in a car again. The super powers have some of the best side effects too. Nothing beats whizzing down the street at the speed of sound with a tornado in your wake. Also, this may be the weirdest little thing I've ever noticed in a game, but SRIV has the most dream-like falling I've ever seen. Jumping off a tower and just letting the Boss fall feels like when I have dreams about falling. I can't explain it better than that.

Kanji in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is the best goddamn thing. I mean, he was in P4 vanilla, but I love him even more in this. "Oh my gooooood, he's an albino Shiba!"

A little thing I never noticed before from Fatal Frame 2: in their default costumes, both Mio and Mayu are dressed very somberly. They both wear brown, black and white, with one splotch of color: a crimson bow. Mayu also has a high collar, hiding her throat. It's so obvious in hindsight, but so subtle that I hadn't realized it until now. I play the game at least once every couple years.

EmmyOk posted:My main problem with merchants in games is that they're not the merchant from RE4. I think the only one lately that I've liked as much as The Merchant is Theodore from Persona Q. When you bring him a rare material, he says something along the lines of "I transformed it! Everything can be made exceptional with a little ti- ... I wasn't finished!" as you interrupt him by looking through his new goods

I've been bitching about Gat Out of Hell in the Dragging Down thread, but for every gripe there's something tiny and amazing about it. Daniel Dae Kim's voice work is fantastically sociopathic, flying feels AMAZING (once you get used to it), and possibly the littlest thing of all: in an area with a chainlink fence, when you touch down near it or Stomp the ground near it, either way, it rattles like a real chainlink fence does. It made me so happy

Tiggum posted:I agree with you on SR3, but I liked her in SR4, the way she and the boss were just deliberately annoying each other. And my favourite bit in GOoH (so far) is the dialogue you get playing as Kinzie when you recruit the DeWynters. The DeWynter sisters are just great characters in general. Although I'm not so sure casting Ashly Burch as them was the best idea.

Kalos posted:I don't know if SR2 did the same thing, but I think one of the worst aspects of storytelling in the third game is that you can complete a character's entire story without ever talking to them, since most of them are activities that you can just complete in the overworld whenever. In my first playthrough of SR3, my only interactions with Angel were recruiting him and then walking into his home several hours later to yell "A loving TIGER!?" without context and then walk out. Yeah, I just finished SRTT again since I just updated my graphics card (drat, it looks pretty now) and i didn't see Angel much except for the scripted sequences. It was awesome to see Hulkamania running wild as a luchador though. Also Rob Van Dam is the voice of Bobby, the deeper-voiced Murderbrawl/Professor Genki announcer. I don't know if that carries over to SRIV, but those guys were so fun to listen to.

Fantasy Life is an adorable little JRPG where you can change your job/Life whenever you like. In each town, there are always places to go to get information and quests for whatever Life you're working on at the time. The Angler Life has cats in each town that offer information to Anglers because they need you to help catch fish for them. They call themselves the Bean Toe Squad.

I just finished Woodfall Temple in the Majora's Mask remake that came out yesterday, and everything just looks so GOOD. The Deku Princess has such an adorable temper tantrum and the fingers of every person's hands aren't just one blocky piece anymore! I loved this game as a kid, and the new version is everything I could have asked for so far.

Tales of Xillia 2 does such a great job of just being an engaging, funny JRPG. The characters are fun (except Teepo. gently caress Teepo), the gameplay just feels right, and even the 'pay off your debt' gating of the story is actually a good way to make sure you're never in danger of being severely underleveled for what you need to do.

Spoilers for Tales of Xillia 2, but wow. Holy poo poo fractured dimensions. Wingul becomes king of Auj Oule? Agria didn't die and is best buds with Leia? This rocks. Milla-not-prime is such a downer though. I hate listening to her whining about spyrix, even though Maxwell himself said it's okay for the Elympions.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Tales games are crafted in a way that makes you sound incredibly insane when talking to another person who hasn't played them. This is pretty much spot on. I don't want to spoil the game for anyone who might want to play it (ha), but it is so fun and full of great little things.

Morpheus posted:gently caress. Me. Like, I know that series loves puns, but jesus. Speaking of puns and Zero Escape (and bunny-computer is actually Zero III ) there is a never-ending stream of puns, word substitutions, and weird phrasing throughout the game that made me laugh almost every time. "Have a nice trap/trick/treat." is one I remember. The other is this (minor spoilers?) "How were you intending to pop it?" "With mind bullets?" "...that's telekinesis, Sigma." Christ I can't wait til the third one comes out in June. eta: I forgot about Sigma's horrid horrid tendency toward cat puns. best main character in any 3DS game ever.

Digirat posted:In overwatch you can make your character say "Hello" and wave I love the fact that there's at least 2 different "Hello" lines for each character. Mei says "Nihao/Hi", D.Va says "Annyeong/Hello", Zenyatta says "Peace be upon you/Greetings", stuff like that. It's a tiny detail, but I think it's awfully cute.

I'm loving the short conversations you get between characters in Overwatch even you're waiting in spawn for the game to start. Every one is just a cute little glimpse into the relationships of the team. Big German shield dude: "You kids and your techno music! You should be listening to the classics, like Hasselhoff!" Brazilian DJ support dude: "I can't even take you seriously right now."

I know Mei says "it's good to be home" at Lijiang Towers, but I didn't know about Route 66. Gonna have to play some more Overwatch.

Kit Walker posted:He's actually just a toy being controlled remotely, and the guy doing it is under close scrutiny. I don't know exactly how far you are into the game so I won't spoil his real identity but he ends up being kinda like the protagonist of The Lives of Others. He's fairly complicated and sympathetic even if he doesn't get much of a significant role in the plot. It's still one of the best reveals i think I've ever seen. The sheer '.... that is really hosed up but makes sense' feeling is one i still remember, and i haven't played the game since probably 7th grade.

Semi-crossposting from the Boss Music thread: I was reminded today of one of the things I adore about FFXIV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCcbKY7d0dc GOOD KING MOGGLE MOG! The whole boss fight is a group of super adorable Moogles and their giant king. They flutter around, dancing and chatting with each other. The music in the background is a medley/remix of a couple of Moogle themes from throughout the Final Fantasy series, and the lyrics introduce you to the Good King and his trusty troupe of brave and brilliant Moogles. It is the cutest boss fight I've ever seen in my life.
