Also in that area, blowing up the helicopter will eliminate the patrolling helicopters later on at the mountain base.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:The joke in no way stops there. The only thing I know for real is that someone on the staff was a huge Camus fan. Platinum does that sort of thing a lot. Vanquish was full of references to Candide. Bayonetta has a set of ice skates named Odette and a rocket launcher named Kilgore.

Buzkashi posted:I just finished Dishonored finally, and I love that you can sign your name in the guestbook during the party mission. My friend summed up the two best outcomes for it well: either you murder everyone at the party and when the city watch investigates later, the only clue they find amidst the chaos is your name in the book, or nobody has any idea that anything is amiss except for the fact that Lady Boyle is missing, and again, the only clue is your name in the book. The game will pick up on this, and later on you can find a note that says something like "We found the name of the most wanted man in the country in this party's guestbook. It's probably just some wiseass who thinks he's funny, but just thought you should know, sir".

Doctor Bishop posted:So the Gravemind looks like a talking penis with a horrible necrotic infection now. Ya, I'd rather take the old talking-head-of-cabbage version over that any day because holy crap, that art direction is just so amazingly lovely. Same goes for the rest of what I've seen of Halo 2 Anniversary's cutscenes, really. It actually looks closer to the original concept art than the talking cabbage:  The talking cabbage was a result of trying to pull that off on the original Xbox hardware, and under a high-pressure dev schedule.

Morpheus posted:Wasn't Jules Vern the father of steampunk, though that term wasn't coined at the time? Or at least he planted the seed, or something. Never really looked into it, but I've heard his name come up often in discussions about it. Jules Verne was a contemporary of the stuff that steampunk is a retro throwback to, so he doesn't really count. Steampunk as a describable, cohesive movement didn't really exist until the late 20th century.

barcoded posted:Isn't it implied that the Outsider is a god of the whales, as well? The ones being killed for oil? Yep. It's also strongly implied that the world has passed peak whale oil and the whole shebang is set to implode in the near future (which also makes the low chaos happy ending jarring and far less plausible).

Convex posted:Deus Ex had a great version of this. The best one was in Mass Effect 1. You can delay the Liara rescue mission, which is supposed to be one of the first things you do, and play it as the second to last mission in the game. At which point when you finally rescue her a) she's practically delirious from spending days trapped in the forcefield and b) she has a bit of a breakdown when debriefed because figuring out the Protheans was supposed to be her life's work and you did exactly that while running around the galaxy not rescuing her.

As cultists from not-Spain, a lot of the time they're chanting "cogedlo cogedlo cogedlo cogedlo" which, in Spain Spanish, means "grab him/get him". IIRC the specific dialog they use when coming up behind you is Spanish for "I'm behind you, idiot".

Don Gato posted:Something else fun is that if you cut off all the limbs of a normal enemy, they just flop around on the ground yelling insults at you before despawning. Something even more fun is that the game will actually register that as a nonlethal takedown rather than a kill and the stats will acknowledge that.

My favorite thing about RFG is that the demolition system is so accurate that the level designers had to bone up on basic architectural principles to build structures that the engine wouldn't cause to collapse on their own the moment they started playing.

Have you used it in the game? That doesn't really happen, analog sticks are precise enough to hit the letter most of the time. And overshooting and correcting is still faster than navigating a dpad grid.

Vin Diesel was really involved in development, not just because he's a huge nerd but because he really likes being Riddick. He didn't found Starbreeze, he founded a company called Tigon that helped out with that (but not other Starbreeze games).

MysticalMachineGun posted:That's fair, but in Dark Souls you finish the game the same whether you've seen 50% of the content or 100%, so you don't miss anything by not using a guide. There's no hidden superbosses like in a Final Fantasy game or the like. Seeing things vs missing them just makes your own little Dark Souls story different. Yeah, but you have to admit that everything about a Souls game makes you desperately want to chase after every tiny edge you can get, especially early on. There are multiple places where not knowing the trick or the build will greatly increase the difficulty and you can only throw yourself at a fight so many times before you start wondering if there's a better way.

Slime posted:When you get out of the tutorial area, you end up in a place with a well. I don't know if it was in the game by default or if it was left by another player, but a sign next to it said "Try jumping". Being a seasoned gamer who's played lots of games with hidden treasure in strange places I was going to try jumping in the well anyway, since in videogames well ALWAYS have loot in them. One of the first things I saw in Demon's Souls was what was obviously a drop into a bottomless pit with a message in front of it reading "TREASURE AHEAD".

All the MGR boss fights have amazing music, and they even tie the mix into the game. Each boss's song only plays its lyrics when you reach the final phase, except the final boss. His lyrics are on so long as Raiden is holding his sword- there are a couple of ways during the fight in which it can leave his hand, and when that happens it's instrumental until he gets it back. This includes a moment during the climatic QTE animation when he briefly take his hands off it.
