I picked up the Diablo 3 expansion on a lark because it was on sale for 50% off, and continued on in my main game. I think I tripped over the hidden level. :stare:

The story behind that level is the best. They released some screenshots before Diablo 3 came out and in one it had a waterfall and because of the water spray there was a rainbow effect. A bunch of nerds got mad because "RAINBOWS IN DIABLO YOU'RE RUINING IT!" so they just went whole hog and made that level to troll the hell out of them.

Back the gently caress up a minute.

Mario 3 has a NG+ mode?!

Also, the best NG+ mode is actually the orginal Legend of Zelda.

"Oh, you think you've got every dungeon location, secret door, heart container, etc... memorized? Yeah, gently caress you."

Still never beaten it after all these years...I mean, I could if I just used a walkthrough, but I didn't need one to beat the original mode when I was 8, and I don't need one now! :mad:

The pinnacle of NG+ for me is Chrono Trigger. Wake up, go to a fair, immediately defeat a world destroyer.

Well bad haircuts are a given since it's e-sports, but otherwise there are a whole lot of weirder looking people in the world than those dudes.

CS:GO pro players require at least one good haircut per team if you really want to reach the top.

I just finished replaying Mass Effect 3 as I hadn't played it since they patched in better endings, but I like that you can find your space hamster wandering around your ship. I missed that guy. Also that Tali yells "GO FOR THE EYES!" when she sends out her little droid.

Far Cry 4 is pretty great. Full of nice little touches. No idea if they were in 2 or 3 as well, haven't played those.

Anyway, there's an auto drive feature and it is great. As long as you're on a proper road, you just press a button and it automatically drives you to your waypoint. Very useful as I haven't quite got the hang of the vehicle controls yet. Also you can ride elephants, and all the bad guys freak out about it. With good reason, elephants kick rear end in that game. I was trying to take out an outpost and I guess I acdidentally freed an elephant I hadn't noticed and he did the whole thing for me pretty much.

It is missing the Blood Dragon feature of being able to give everything the finger though, as far as I can tell.

If you use melee on an elephant while your crosshair is on another elephant, that elephant starts following you. Soon you have an army of giant animals storming an outpost.

In Watch Dogs you can't really gank, though, just sort of annoy and possibly cost a small amount of time and status.

Watch Dogs had few redeeming qualities but it had an app for your phone where you could challenge a friend and they'd try to race through different checkpoints while you were on your phone blowing up steam pipes and setting up traps. You'd follow them in a helicopter which they could get out and destroy, which would make it so you couldn't set anything up for a few seconds until another one arrived. One of the few times I bothered with an outside the game tie-in type thing.

I know Red Dead Redemption is an old game but it's one I go back to repeatedly because I love the setting.

The thunderstorms are brilliant atmosphere in themselves and I spend ages just riding around in the rain, but I just realised if you put the camera at a low angle (as if you're looking up from under your hat) when it's raining the screen starts filling up with water drops. Just adds nicely to the ambience.

This is the only reason I still own a PS3. I can't believe they haven't ported it to PC yet.

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.

I want to say Hulk: Ultimate Destruction had a count of how much damage you did. God I wish they'd make another one of those. I've mentioned it before in this thread but it is top tier as far as superhero games go. Hell, freeroaming games in general. Elbow dropping tanks and knocking down buildings.

Superman Returns was a lovely game but I loved the flying mechanics about it. Mainly because if you got up high and got up enough speed you'd break the sound barrier and create a sonic boom.

Early L4D was amazing just because it was so easy to be an rear end in a top hat to your teammates on it. If you just straight ran for it and left everyone else behind you could run in front of the horde spawn. So you'd be in the safe room alone and your teammates would all be laying there being eaten by zombies.

I like that there's the option to quit out of VATS early if I can see the shots aren't landing or I crippled the enemy like I wanted. Knowing I'd wasted all my AP was always such a bad feeling in the previous games.

Hopefully it'll also help when the game inevitably bugs out and I get stuck just standing there getting beaten in slow motion.

Hit VATS, first shot lands just as the guy steps behind a wall.

I bought Dragon Quest Heroes since I have a console now. I put it in, turned on the game, the music started, and I got punched in the face with nostalgia. So there's that. I like that.

I hope there's a part where someone constantly asks "Dost thou love me?"

I love the consistency throughout the DQ series--music/SFX especially, but also character design, enemies, overall tone. You can pick up any DQ-titled game and feel that rush of nostalgia. I'm playing DQ Theatrhythm now and really digging it, and now I see I might have to pick up DQ Heroes, too. :allears:

I never played a DQ game growing up, though I watched others play; I was more into FF. I started feeling like the FF series took itself way too goddamn seriously, though, so I'm firmly in the DQ camp now.

I like all the slime puns :3:
