I chose to believe Chunk and Chunk Harder had another brother who was killed in the sewers during that plague quest.

The Telltale games do this as well. They'll instantaneously switch to keyboard prompts if you nudge the mouse or tap on the keyboard while playing with a controller (and, obviously, back again when you tap something on the controller).

Though I keep having a problem of the game not starting if my controller is plugged in before I start the game.

Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, which is an alternate take on Dead Rising 2 where you play as the series first protag (Frank West), and the co-op player in that plays as the original DR2's main character, Chuck Greene.

That's a little weird, since you can kill Greene in the main game.

I think people expected Halo in space and got something completely different. That's been my impression from most reviews.

Outside of story, its not very hand holdy either, you can roam freely quite a bit, you can even bump into level 20 enemies in the level 3 zone.

Wasn't Halo already in space though?

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, at one point you fight a bunch of demons that are basically the manifestations of people's fears. Their physical appearance is just that of big spiders, but if you select them, their name reads things like "Blood", "Drowning", "Mages", that sort of thing. So I'm walking around in that area and see another one of those spiders, and when I select it to see what fear it represents its name just reads: "Ironically, Spiders" :v:

Now with proof:

Devil May Cry 4 is the good one. 3 has an awful port and DMC isn't really a Devil May Cry game.

I hate games that just plop a qwerty keyboard on the screen. C'mon guys, you can do better ui design than that. Steam Big Picure mode also has a pretty rad keyboard input for controllers.

The model viewer for enemies was also nice, not that common back then. More games should have a model viewer, and not just a static one, have one where you can see it move and do stuff.

Pikmin 2 was my favorite because of this.

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.

He's in there for Mind over Murder, one of the new diversions.

edit: to contribute, I like how in outlast after you lose a finger that finger stays a bloody stump for the rest of the game.

The fight with the end in MGS3 is probably the best boss fight in any game ever made because it constantly tests every skill you have learned throughout the game.

Wolfenstein had lots of little fun things in it but one of my favourites was when you are in a Nazi garage. There's a car that's up on blocks that's getting repaired and you can interact with it to get BJ to climb in and pretend he's driving. Complete with "broom broom" noises made by his mouth and him picking up an imaginary female hitchhiker.

I liked the level of wolfenstein 3d hidden in the game.

There's another mod for new vegas that adds in music that some(maybe most?) of the quests are named after. Which is cool because a lot of them are elvis songs and it's weird to have a entire faction dedicated to the man but not any of his music..

Cassandra gets very cautious around you if you go necromancer. Which is a nice detail since her uncle is a necromancer and she's a templar.

Sometimes Always Monsters gives you the option to choose a companion ten seconds into the game, who ends up being your girlfriend/boyfriend. I didn't realize this at first and I blundered into a loving romance with a burly black dude.

Sometimes it's just a black screen and sometimes it's a black screen with really awkward sex noises (or at least it's like this with that woman who runs the Vault 21 hotel).

With Benny you get a black screen and the option to either steal the chip or kill him in his sleep. :v:

I recall if you slept with the ghoul cowboy after you recruited her you would hear some very raspy growls.

I went on about how well Bravely Default does this earlier in the thread, but your prayers for help come from the games of other people you've interacted with via wireless/internet features. You see what sort of team they were running, and each vision has a different array of NPCs around them, so it all comes out as a really great rendition of this.

...What happens if you're a total hermit then? I hope it just cuts to a empty screen.

I've been playing Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition lately.I have no idea if this was in the original game but I noticed if you jiggle your stick around while talking to someone (ex: one of the favor people) Wei Shen will flail his head around wildly. It makes the early game's extortion sequence really really funny.

My favorite thing about DA:I is that there's an option to just hide the drat helmets. Most of the helmets look way oversized for characters, o4 just not interesting. Plus, goddammit, I went through the trouble of creating my fancy character, and I wanna see em!

I wish there was an option to hide them per character though, rather than across the board. I'm probably one of the few people who likes qunari's dumb facepaint thing.

The Ang Lee Hulk movie tie in game was bad and the worst part were stealth missions where you had to play as Banner and really how could Banner ever be fun to play as? Well Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was real fun and as a play on how much people hated the stealth missions in the other one, they added their own. Hulk would destroy a truck, pick up the frame, cover himself with it, and walk around like some sort of gamma powered Fred Flintstone.

Also there was an unlockable Savage Bruce Banner skin.

It required you playing thorough the game one more time in order to afford the dang thing but man was it worth it.

My favorite thing in GTAV has been accidentally messing up a jump. I managed to mistime a jump over a fence and trevor hit the fence shin first and keeled face first into the dirt.

There are a lot of other things to like and not to like about the game but I think the physics in the GTA games are basically the best.

Wonderful 101 might have the best QTEs in the world. The last one in the game is "protect earth" and has you button mashing for a longass time. Normally I would take issue with this but the camera cuts to the wonderful 100 halfway through that longass button mash and shows that they're hammering away at their buttons too.

Which might not make sense so here's a clip
