There are a bunch of little things in Watch_Dogs to love (and some things that drag it down as well) but the final criminal convoy side-mission has a fun tie-in with another Ubisoft game: Assassin's Creed IV. The target is Olivier Garneau, the Chief Creative Officer of Abstergo Entertainment, a subsidiary of templar-owned Abstergo Industries. In one of the "real-life" portions of AC4, Olivier is sent to Chicago for a shareholder's meeting, but you find out that he never arrived. In Watch_Dogs you are tasked (by the assassins presumably) with taking him down as he makes his way across the city.

The story in Crysis 3 is overwrought Michael Bay poo poo - "bro...you gotta fight harder bro!" "Yeah bro, we'll fight harder...TOGETHER!" - that kinda stuff. There is a neat little touch though. After Psycho gives you the dog tags he recovered from your squad in the original Crysis, they are wrapped around the grip of your cyber-bow.

I like how human enemies dying in a hail of automatic weapons fire will do that dance you see in the movies where the bullets knock them around for a while before they fall over

Soldier of Fortune was good for things like this. You could make guys do the peepee dance with bullets, make their bodies convulse on the ground with your 100 slash per second knife, or blast all of their limbs off with a shotgun after they were already dead.

You know, all of the stuff your older self would look back on and say "what the hell was wrong with me" :stare:

In The Witcher 3, if you buy or find the Undvik Saddlebags for Roach in Skellige there is a little coffee pot attached to one side that jangles around as you ride. I like it :3:

I never had any particularly good call signs in XCOM, but I did have a sniper named Colonel Sanders :3:

I am very confused by this blurry imagine. I think it’s a ninja (?) and there may be a guy behind him but in giant letters it says “NEW REGION DISCOVERED: GREAT GREEN SEA” :confused:

I mean, it’s pretty neat little thing in a game (picture) that I could read the Portuguese but I don’t think the image was meant for me.

It's from the game Assassin's Creed Origins. It wasn't a great time to be capturing that gif since the player happened to be discovering a new region at the time, but the main character (Bayek) has a finishing move he does with heavy weapons that ends with a giant hit to the balls.

In Hitman 2, looking down the scope of one of the silenced sniper rifles causes the sounds around you to dull so you can focus, and more inexplicably, causes the version of Ave Maria they used in Blood Money to start playing.

I dont know if the other rifles do it too but :allears:

As far as I remember it is a quirk of that particular gun you were using.

Whenever you are included in the Special Thanks of the credits.

Semi-related, but there was a gambling game for the NES or SNES that I can't remember the name of (I don't think it was Vegas Dream or Vegas Stakes) that let you enter your "dream" at the beginning of the game. If you were a dumb teenager like me, you would enter "gently caress ME" as your dream, beat the game, and then during the credits the game tells you "YOU WILL gently caress ME"

Some of the collectables require you to flop around on land for quite a while
