Sad lions posted:I don't have the means to actually test how good it is but Alien Isolation (on the PS4 at least, unsure about others) can use the camera to use your actual head tilt to make your character do the same and, more interestingly, use the microphone to detect whether you've made any loud noises that the enemies could pick up on. I had the microphone hooked up playing it once, and poo poo was tense as hell, being stalked by the Alien. Ended up hiding under a gurney when my girlfriend came home after having picked up our son. He runs to me screaming "DAAA DAAA DAA DAAAA" at the top of his lungs, tipping the Alien off to where I was hiding and ending up in my face being eaten.

In The Division, in the D-Zone, npcs of the various factions have roving battles against each other. If you as a player try joining the battle they won't immediately gang up on you blew me away that they actually kept doing what they were doing and not drop everything to skullfuck me.

Been playing Uncharted 4 and there are so many awesome little touches in the game, at one point you can buy an apple from a street vendor and go pet a lemur and then the lemur follows you and steals your apple and you get a trophy for it

My favorite little thing in Uncharted 4 is how it made me feel totally sad when it ended, but like in a good way also the entire epilogue was just great.

Battlefield 2142 had in-game ads for real-life products and services and it was terrible. The game was dope as gently caress though.

Morpheus posted:I really enjoyed Firewatch - can't put my finger on exactly what it was, but it was a touching story. When the finale came, I stayed around the tower longer than I expected, kind of sad to see the place go. Didn't expect myself to get as into the game as much I did. Same I thought it was like, a genuinely emotional moment when you find out the deal with the dude and the cave and such.

I hope the canal get fleshed out more in destiny 2, I hoped the mission in the taken king where you find out they sent an SOS to their empire meant they would be the main feature of the last expansion which turned out to be rise of iron

Been playing a lot of Titanfall 2 lately and the campaign is probably one of the best singleplayer experiences of the last few years. It's hard to single out the little things - it's like they all flow together and make everything really loving good, but I guess the main thing I liked is the relationship between you, pilot Jack Cooper, and your titan, BT. In the beginning BT just lost his long time pilot and is really distant. By the end you're best fuckin bros and I was legitimately sad when he sacrifices himself. "Trust me." *flings you 500 meters into the air to save your life* The multiplayer is out of this loving world too, wallrunning and using your grapple like some demented loving future spiderman is so much fun and it blows all the other "exosuit" games like black ops etc out of the water.

Either I'm loving insane or it's possible to manually shift gears while driving in watch dogs 2 by using the pressure sensitive triggers on the ps4 controller. I was cruising around listening to music and trying to drive "normally" but the engine noise was drowning the actual music. It was because I needed to shift gears up by pressing the trigger ever so slightly harder! Honestly it totally blew me away.

Doesn't matter, dude. You've set it on its path. This Disney/Marvel version of Skynet has taken its first steps on a road that will inevitably end in the complete eradication of humanity. Thor-like Terminators and inhuman Spiderman-ish drones will render your nerd body down into blood-slick mud and ashes and the only joy left in the world will be the satisfaction of a coldly perfect machine-intelligence as it gazes upon a ruined world, its work complete. And it's all your fault, and yours alone. Weep for us. Shed your tears for the hordes of unburied dead. Cry out to the heavens in despair. Scream for the multitudes you have doomed. Weep for yourself

Thin Privilege posted:Dishonored 2: I killed all of a guard's buddies, so he ran away. Couldn't find him despite looking, but eventually I found him hiding out pretending to be a normal NPC, warming his hands on a campfire in a corner. Didn't get alerted with me walking by, nothing. Coward. Sounds like the most intelligent npc in the game.

Destiny in general is dragged down by its lack of story content, there's clearly so much they could do with the different factions that haven't been done. Here's to hoping Destiny 2 picks up the ball.

Nuebot posted:It's weird because there is a story, and some of it is actually really cool with some cool implications and ideas. But it's literally all hidden in an out of game website. All in favor of super monotonous gameplay that literally never changes from start to finish. Yeah I love what story there is and spent hours hunting down all the Ghosts. Its weird to me that they don't hire some halfway competent scifi writer to pump out some Destiny novels expanding on the universe, like they did with Halo. I'd buy all of them

haveblue posted:Rumors are circulating that Destiny 2 will focus on the Cabal, FWIW. Books of Sorrow were for sure rad but the Hive are so 2015. If D2 is all about the Cabal I am glad they've been criminally underused. The whole Cabal backstory is so melancholy sorta like the Hive but approached from the other direction.

food court bailiff posted:Yeah, this is my issue with it exactly. The game starts with Peter Dinklage or Nolan North or whoever waking you up from being dead for centuries, drags your rear end to the Tower, and then suddenly it's like your character is expected to know the ins and outs of Guardian life and the ongoing wars against four different races. Exposition is helpful sometimes. The first time the player meets the Speaker he literally goes like "I could tell you about the time the Traveller fought the Darkness and all the rad as gently caress poo poo I will forever allude to... But I won't now get the gently caress out"

poptart_fairy posted:Weirdest example of OSP I saw was The Divison - while it was intended as "don't rely on any munitions or technical support coming from us", it came across as the American government being unable to pony up for an American gun, on American soil, for use by American agents against American factions. There's a reason for that though, the US has basically collapsed by the point the game starts and IS unable to provide effectice resupply but it's really bad at getting that fact across during cutscenes etc so you have to get all the colletibles and not miss any of the in-mission dialogue to pick up on it.

More voiceacting chat: seminal cold war-em up World in Conflict has a part where you're commanding a raiding force in Russia, via Norway and your american units are joined by a company of norwegian special forces and Massive (I think theyre the developer) actually managed tl track down some norwegian dudes to deliver their lines, complete with terrible accents and wildly specific norwegian army terminology. It seemed like a huge investment in what amounts to like half an hours mission, but it blew me away when I first played it.
