One hilarious thing I discovered playing Ico is that the european version (the one I'm playing) is a little bit harder than the US version. It's still not super hard but its a few extra steps to the puzzles. For example, I had to jump from a rotting water wheel to reach a lever, in the YS US version you can just climb a ladder.

BioEnchanted posted:I am enjoying aspects of the mystery. like Octavianus hears about Caesars last words (the guy taking the fall heard them while running to his aid and found his body) and figures out a lot by deconstructing the grammar. Like "Et tu, Brute...'And you too, Brutus'... so there was a guy called Brutus, who sounds like he was close to my Uncle, plus other accomplices involved..." and so he has to figure out who Marcus Brutus is because he doesn't know his late uncle's inner circle very well and now I'm following him to try to find out more about the conspiracy that Brutus and Cicero are part of. But there was never a mystery about who killed Caesar and Brutus was fairly well known too. There was in fact graffiti in Rome that encouraged Brutus to kill Caesar.

Arriving in Freeside playing New Vegas and some random guy waved me over and I followed him. It ended up with him trying (emphasis on trying) to rob me. That's something I would expect form Rockstar, not Bethesda (a bunch of developers who still hasn't figured out how to show people walking through doors).

My favorite thing about Spec Ops: The Line. It opens with the team in a helicopter shooting at other helicopters. Then the game jumps back to when they arrived in Dubai. Then when they finally get to the helicopter chase Walker says that they've done this before and then the helicopter crashes which induces a hallucination. Heavily implying that Walker died in the crash and is constantly reliving the game as a sort of hell/purgatory.

darkwasthenight posted:They do a really good job of muddying the waters. It was close enough that Max seems to have lived through the whole thing as an adult, but also long enough ago for people to have forgotten what planes are for. It's not really important enough for anybody to care. In one of the Griffa encounters Max even admits that he no longer remembers or care which year it is or how old he is. My favorite thing about Mad Max is that after Hope dies Max completely loses it and starts hearing voices. Freaked me out when suddenly there was voice saying "kill them all" coming from the ps4 controller.

A neat thing that happens in the Mind Over Matter level in Guardians of the Galaxy: You're in Drax's mind. And since his family was killed by Thanos there's a fight against him. The problem is that every time you kill Thanos he multiplies. You can't win the battle by beating Thanos, instead you have to let go and let Thanos beat you.

In Ghost of Thsushima you get a hat from the Straw Hats after completing some quests for them. In the menu it's simply described as a worn hat. But later in the game when Ryuzo, the leader of the Straw Hats, betrays you it suddenly gets described as "the hat of the betrayer".

In SKyrim you have to clear a basement of pests, which seems like pretty standard rpg stuff. But poo poo suddenly escalates when you stumble across an insane wizard. The little thing about this is that you can confront the quest giver about why he didn't warn you about it.

The Book of Love quest in Skyrim is really good. Instead of going around killing people you're going around giving them relationship advice. And then at end you reunite two ghosts so that they can move on to the afterlife.

Captain Hygiene posted:Yeah, that'd be awesome if they could pull it off, but I don't know how it would work realistically once the game's out. I think about that sometimes for games and movies in particular, like watching Predator thinking it's just about commandos in the jungle, or From Dusk Till Dawn thinking it's a regular crime film. I know there are other games that have made me think that too, I'm just drawing a blank at the moment.

In Skyrim there's keys formed like dragon claws almost exclusively found in dungeons with draugr. This keys goes to puzzle doors, but the solution to the puzzles are engraved on the keys. At first this seems like writing the code to your debit card on the actual card. But in-universe it's speculated that this is done intentionally, not to keep people out but to keep the draugr in. This is because it's believed that the draugr isn't sentient enough to figure out the puzzle. It's kinda like the fantasy version of "click here to prove you're not a robot".

I like games that reacts to your actions and Skyrim is one of those games. Like, at one point I got attacked by hired thus. After killing them I found a contract from Olfina Grey-Mane telling the thugs not necessarily kill me but teach me a lesson about stealing her poo poo. And rightfully so, I had been stealing from the Grey-Mane's house.
