I remember reading I think in the booklet for the first Grand Theft Auto that their in game explanation was that there were so many murders and other bad poo poo happening in Liberty City that the cops didn't care about moving violations, I always figured that every other sandbox game like GTA took that approach if they ever had to explain it.

In either Vice City or San Andreas there is a little blurb in the manual about how a new law banning children and dogs had just taken effect, so don't expect to see either in the city. That always cracked me up.

There's a small easter egg with the credits. Earlier in the game if you focus on Harley's pregnancy test kit in the Joker's 'office', she'll be quietly singing a song on the verge of tears.

Wait so does that mean she was pregnant while I was beating the poo poo out of her during a boss fight?

Someone mentioned your buddy NPC'S going down and making you shoot them in the face to put them out of their misery in FAR CRY 2: CRY HARDER. What they forgot to mention was that you also had the option to overdose them on morphine (I.e. your health kit) , but you had to use two or three of your limited capacity of morphine to do so. So the choice became one of: do I put him down gently and use up morphine I might need later, or just put a bullet in him. I usually just a bullet into them, but not the Sikh who had saved me all those times - goodnight, sweet prince.

The rocket exhaust from the LAW can also ignite the grass, which I learned the hardway from trying ambush a convoy and ended up trapping myself in an inferno.

The design of the Strogg bases in Quake 4 are surprisingly interesting. Usually with groups in the vein of the Strogg (the Cybermen and Borg come to mind), it's always about replacing the Organic with Machine. But in Q4, you see the Strogg using some giant creature's heart to pump fluids around, some mutilated alien to digest organic parts into slime, and organic guts pumping poo poo around. It's just different enough to be interesting, and it implies that the Strogg have been doing this sort of thing for a long time.

One of my favorite things in Quake 4 was how your gun wouldn't target your squadmates. A lot of games do this, but one of the little blurbs during the loading screen says " Thanks to the acme friendly fire prevention system friendly fire is down 98%!"

It's pretty good but nowhere near the majesty is 1-INT in Fallout 2. President Tandy will flat-out refuse to hand you any work out of fear that you will get confused and eat the walls. The only real way to progress in the game is to stumble around and do whatever you can. It would be great as your first play-through because you wouldn't know that you have to go fix the nuclear reactor or kill all the ghouls among many other things.

Somewhere there is an LP in first-person of a 2-INT dullard that is addicted to Psycho. It's loving great.

If I remember correctly you couldn't even read street signs with you int that low. Guess it's time fo fire up Fallout 2.

A little thing I love is that a game I played in middle school with load screens that took up to 3 minutes on my ancient computer can now be played on my phone.

Bioware's writing gets a lot of hate (and they deserve a ton of it), but I really appreciated what they did with Mass Effect. Being able to port your decisions from one game to the next, playing as the same character, helped you get involved with the world. It actually made you want to try to play a consistent character and weigh your decisions more carefully. Much of it was a facade, true, but at least it's one worth buying into.

This didn't work nearly as well in Dragon Age. I don't care nearly so much about the effects of my actions from the game before if I'm not the same person, and it loses all of the charm that ME had when you meet up with old characters.

this is because Bioware never intended for you to be able to port things over from Dragon Age to Dragon Age 2, they had to shoe horn it in at the last minute because the fans freaked out.

Favorite dick moment was at the war memorial in Boulder City.

*Talk to Private at the monument.*
Private Kowalski: You here to pay your respects, too?
You: What is this memorial?
Private Kowalski: It commemorates the Battle of Hoover Dam. The rangers lured the best of Caesar's Legion into Boulder City, then blew the whole town up. The NCR still lost a bunch of troops in the fighting, though. My older brother sacrificed himself so they could evacuate some of the wounded.
*Open fire on the monument.*
Private Kowalski: What the gently caress are you doing? My brother died at the Battle of Hoover Dam. You're desecrating a war memorial.
You: You're a little bitch and your brother was, too.
Private Kowalski: Oh, now it's on.

I remember in Knights Of The Old Republic one of the Dark Side speech options after listening to one of the old Jedi's rambling stories was somehow like " I hate you and I hate your stories old man". I would pick it even playing as a Light Side character just because it was so funny.

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.

In GTA 4 they didn't really stop talking if you crashed or started shooting though. I remember picking up one of my dates in a stolen police helicopter and proceeding to fly around blowing up cars while she told me about her day. After blowing up a few dozen police copters she asked me if I was involved with organized crime. I flew up as high as I could and bailed out and followed. After I landed safely I found her body lying limp in the middle of the street. About 20 minutes later I got a text from her asking me to pick her up at the hospital.

One great little thing about GTA 4 was typing "child porn" into the search browser at the Tw@ Internet Cafe. You would get an instant 5 star wanted rating and the cops would show up almost instantly and blow you away.

I feel like I'm the only who really liked Star Ocean 3. Yeah the MMO story was beyond stupid but the combo battle system was tons of fun and it had a couple cool characters. Star Ocean 4 was unforgivable garbage with zero redeeming qualities though.

Agreed. I have more memories of this than any of the missions in the game.

My favorite "missed" GTA5 Jump was the one by the airport. I somehow managed to shoot straight up into the sky, then come back down and land perfectly on the ramp and go back down. It looked like someone just stopped my jump midway then hit the reverse playback button. Then I backed to a cop car.

There's some really funny writing in FO4, like running into some raiders talking about a guy they tried to rob. He got away by throwing "grenades" that were just rocks and making machine gun noises with his mouth and then "driving" away on his "motorcycle."

It would be great if there was an entire faction of people doing crazy sound effects to drive off raiders. Kind of like the Kings in New Vegas but instead of idolizing Elvis a bunch of people found some old Police Academy movies and started worshipping Michael Winslow.

I just picked up Dark Souls 2: Sholar of The First Sin and it's added tons of new little things. You can see hollowed soldiers mindlessly attacking the corpse of a Giant, there are actually Heide Knights in the Tower of Heid and they rearranged a lot of enemy place I. I played through the original 3 or 4 times and it's almost like a entirely new game.

Bloodborne. It got some new DLC this week that added some amazing new weapons. First, the Whirligig Saw. It's a club you put a circular saw on and then hack werewolves and cosmic horrors to death with. It is my new favourite video game weapon right now.

Second, the Moonlight Blade, or something like that. Turns up in a lot of Fromsoft games. Usually it's huge and glows bright blue/green. It looks kind of dull in this one. Until you power it up and it does the usual glowing and shooting of anime lasers. It's been great in every game I've had it in, and Bloodborne is no exception. I'm glad it finally arrived.

Third, there's an enemy in the base game you fight as a boss. It tears off its own arms to fight you with. You can get one of these arms to use as a weapon now.

As someone who spent 4 or 5 days trying to beat Defiled Amygdala it was really great to be Amygdala to death with her own arms.

My favorite thing is also about this priestess, but a different part of it. She's specifically down on herself and considered kinda trash because she failed at becoming a Fire Keeper, the women that keep the bonfires burning and, in DS2 and 3, help you level up. If you go the whole game without buying a single 'evil' spell from her (buying a any evil spell from her leads to the ending you described), she disappears from her little corner of Firelink Shrine, as a lot of vendors in the series do when they're sold out of their good loot.

If you hunt through all of Firelink, though, you can find her in an obscure room off to the side... where she can help you level up. It's not even useful, because the other Fire Keeper is just inside of Firelink and way easier to get to, but it's such a cute thing.

In Dark Souls 2 the Emerald Herald isn't technically a Fire Keeper, she still has her eyes and everything. She was created by Aldia and Vendrick as a way to beat the Undead Curse by merging souls with the Ancient Dragons.

A HUNGRY MOUTH posted:

After about 40 fruitless attempts on one of the DLC bosses, I went to look up a strategy and discovered that (part of) the reason he was so tough was that I was wearing a helmet that caused him to immediately enter his buffed-up second phase. The helmet, an item from the base game, belonged to the knight who kicked the boss's rear end and sent him packing to DLC land in the first place.

At the time I was very annoyed, but I've since decided it's cool.

Yeah, it wasn't just the helmet. Fume Knight is legit one of the hardest bosses in the series. Make sure you kill the smelter statue behind me his boss arena, it can buff the poo poo out of him.

I finished one playthrough of Dark Souls 3 and then started an another for the upcoming DLC. I like how the game is bookended by two locations on the opposite sides of the map. Lothric Castle and Anor Londo. You start in the castle, make your way down from there to ground level and below, then climb back up towards Anor Londo. And once in a while the game provides you with a nice vantage point that shows you where you came from and where you're going.

I'm pretty sure you can see almost every single location in the game( except the Profaned Capitol and Archdragon Peak) from the Giant archer's tower. You can also see Archdragon Peak from Anor Londo.

One thing that I liked about the original Nier was the sense that Nier himself was the final problem causing the world to get worse. Certainly the desert city Facade was way too far gone as the humans had been fighting the wolves for so long they'd forgotten what initially triggered it (The loss of the forest and it turning into desert over generations of people not giving a poo poo, resulting in the wolves getting pissed at the humans and oops... Big Problem) and while the rest of the world was still going to die it may have at least bought itself a few more years (The Aerie making peace with the shades of their former friends and families and opening themselves to the world could have been the start of something, had Nier not panicked and killed literally everyone)

I don't know how far you got into the New Game + but Nier has possibly the greatest NG+ ever. You go threw4 or 5 New Games until finally Nier comes to the conclusion that the only way to save Yuna was to remove himself entirely from the timeline, then the game completely erases all your game saves and game data. Blew my loving mind.

Something I'd like to see in a F13 movie is a character who was also bullied when he was Jason's age, although obviously not to death like he was, trying to empathise with him. Not in a "trying to control him" way, but trying to break through the supernatural bullshit fueling his rage to the scared ten-year-old who's lashing out. Even if it was unlikely to work in any meaningful way it could be an interesting type of character regardless.

I"m imagining the " It's not your fault" scene between Robin Williams and Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting. He keeps saying it until Jason breaks down and cries, freaks out about the water coming out of his eyes and beats his therapist to death with some apples .

I picked up Grand Theft Auto 5 for the PS4 the other day and I love the way Rockstar utilizes the DS4 controller. When you're being chased by the cops your light bar will flash red and blue. I was playing at night and for a few seconds there were cop cars outside my house. I also love how the phone calls come through the speaker in the controller.

Dishonored 2

The "Crack in the Slab" level. Game has been out for a while now but I'll put this in spoilers just in case. The basic idea of the level is that you're in a mansion owned by a man who's in a sort of magic-induced insanity as a result of an occult ritual performed there many years earlier. As a result time is all twisted, and the Outsider gives you a gizmo which allows you to instantly switch between the current time when the mansion is empty and dilapidated, and the past around the time the ritual occurred. The neat thing is how it actually works, since outside being able to switch back and forth with a mouse click, you can also make it bring up an array of crystals which act as a sort of window to the past.

This means you get to spend the whole level basically playing time assassin which your enemies are completely helpless to stop you. Bring up the window to the past while you're in the present day, find a guard wandering around, position yourself behind them, warp to the past, backstab them, warp back to the present, bring up the window again and watch as the other guards freak out about what just happened, repeat. It's completely unfair from a balance perspective I guess but the game is relatively easy anyway if you're doing a lethal run and drat it that level in particular a lot of fun.

Crack In The Slab might be the best level in any game ever.
So if you manage to knock Stilton unconscious and hide his body he won't be driven insane by meeting Delilah, and at the start of the next level he'll be on your boat, acting like he's been helping you this entire time. Great little moment.

I recall all the American monuments were the same. There were a few missions in Washington DC on each side. The Allied ones had gave you reward crates for sending engineers to repair various monuments (The command center lady comments they gave the Lincoln Memorial statue a Stalin head), while the Soviet ones gave you rewards for destroying them. All the monuments had special animations when they were destroyed instead of blowing up instantly.

The names of the monuments in the Soviet mission that took place in Paris were changed. The main objective was to change the "Paris Tower" into a giant Tesla coil. The Arc de Triomphe was replaced with the "Paris Arc of Winning."

I don't remember if it was Tiberium Sun 1 or 2 , but in the Dallas map if you go to the Texas School Book Depository where JFK was shot there's an NPC sniper on the grassy knoll.

Finished up Bioshock 2 (yes, including Minerva's Den, stop asking) from the HD reissue and... I kind of think it was better than the first game? Apparently this is at odds with the general consensus--and to be fair, it is the extra content in Minerva's Den that put it over the top for me. Still, though. It has better weapons, and more satisfying combat in general; the change to the hacking minigame was a huge improvement; so were the changes to collecting enemy research; the NPCs were more interesting both in dialogue, and as characters; the ending is more than the result of a single binary choice that you made at the beginning of the game. The main flaw is that it's not Bioshock 1, and therefore gets to be ' just more of the same' instead of 'an original and engaging setting.' Which is fair... yet somewhat beside the point now that we're 10 years and counting from the first game's release. You can't take its status as the original away. However that status no longer matters when you're actually playing the games.

Anyway, I digress. This is supposed to be favorite little things in games, and my favorite little thing in Bioshock 2 is firing a rocket spear into a Brute Splicer and watching it launch him backwards into a cluster of cyclone traps that send him bouncing all over the place like a ping-pong ball, which then explodes. (Sometimes they survive this with a sliver of health and shout something about being back in a jiff while they run to the nearest health station, which sprays them with poison gas until they die because I obsessively hack them on the off chance I get to watch that happen.)

Yeah I'm in this boat too, Bioshock 2 is my favorite Bioshock. Being able to dual wield guns and plasmids was great, the drill was great and the Andrew Ryan theme park is one of the best set pieces in the series. There was a ton of combat variety with the Big Sisters. Bioshock 2 was kind of always going to fail though, having to follow up Bioshock is a pretty heavy hurdle to jump.

I'm playing through FFVIII for the first time since I was probably 11 and it's fun how comically easy it is to break the game with the systems they have in place. With my junctions I beat most boss battles in 3 to 4 hits while they barely scratch me. I just completed the ragnarok part and I remember as a kid how hard it was with the same colored monsters when I was younger but this time I killed them in one hit each from squall and rinoa. The story is also slightly better than I remember it. In final fantasy rankings I think it's definitely gone up a few games in my mind.

The best way I've seen someone break FF8 is by constantly killing Squall. Apparently the games monsters level is determined by just Squall, not a party average, sp if he's always dead at the end of a battle he can't get any xp and never levels up. So him and the monsters are always at level 1, while you can have 2 members at whatever level, just one shoting bosses.
