I don't quite follow. Why would a you not be able to run that story line because of memory limitations? I mean it would just be exposition in the form of extra words right?

Recruitment was meant to be a lot more freeform which means they would need to consider every possible combination of characters you could have with you on each mission for cutscenes and stuff.

There's a mission where you need to decode morse code. It's not necessarily the intended way to do it, but you can download a morse code app to your phone that listens and translates it live for you if you hold it up to your speakers. It makes the mission even cooler doing it that way.

Unfortunately now that the game has been out a while Googling the clues some of the missions contain just gives you the answer from fan site results.

Plus, if you get stuck there's an in-game web browser you can use to look up hints and clues, and it doesn't feel too much like cheating. My guy's a ruthless Illuminati agent, it is completely in-character for him to just google stuff on his smartphone when he needs to.

You're supposed to use the browser. Some of them don't contain enough information in game. Things like needing to get passage numbers from the Bible, or dates paintings were created.

They also give you way more experience.

The idea was supposed to be that if you played it stealthy you were taking out fewer enemies so the extra experience balanced what you'd get sweeping rooms. But they made it too easy to totally ghost a room while also dropping everyone.

In Sleeping Dogs, if you dismount a motorcycle while driving it and you have a pistol you can shoot the motorcycle to make it instantly explode, which is amazingly impractical but fun to do.

You can do that with cars too.

A lot of people hate these but I find them hilarious every time.

I think in Singularity you can just stand there and do nothing and there's a 3rd ending, no?

Or am I thinking of another game?

If you've played Smash Bros. at all and Kirby's taunt isn't seared into your memory from constant use, you and your buddies haven't been doing it right, sorry.

Even if you're not spamming it because it's funny, it's how you shed powers in the game so you have to use it a bunch.

Except when someone plays Captain Falcon, since you want Falcon Punch 24/7.

The best thing I remember about Brawling with friends was playing Captain Falcon and learning that if you time it correctly, you can start the wind-up for Falcon Punch and then swap the direction you're facing mid-move. Ganondorf could do it as well, it was the best way to make people quit. :allears:

I also loved Kirby in Melee and Brawl, he's one of those characters that beginners to the game can pick up relatively easily it seems.

According to the loading screen tips on the 3DS, the turnaround Falcon Punch actually does more damage than regular.

The reason "PYF thing dragging this game down" had "Shut up about Dark Souls" in the title is because people wouldn't shut the gently caress up about Dark Souls so I disagree.

You can also still post about Dark Souls in it.

The one thing that I could go for in more games that Assassin's creed actually got right was freaking people out. If you get enough into your murder-spin of taking people out and then the guy next to them eventually during a finisher some of them will panic and try to run away.

I could've really gone for that when I was playing the Batman games and people kept coming at me despite me just breaking a dude's arm.

Also for the love of god please someone anyone take the part out of GOD HAND where if you do a strong enough attack the enemy just goes flying until they slam into a wall. I really want to be able to send people flying like that in more games that aren't just GOD HAND or Viewtiful Joe.

Batman does have that mechanic. They'll never run away, but in predator rooms as you take out guys the ones left will be terrified.

That's if you blow it up by force. There's nothing to say the self destruct behaves the same way.

But they retconned it out anyway.

I've not played it for even two hours, though, and completion's already telling me i'm at 29%, but less than 20% of the city taken over. Well, I guess I can at least spend a lot of time collecting soul clusters.

Also, the option to play as Kinzie is pretty nice. I'm rolling with her for now.

You can switch in single player, or you mean you're doing co-op?
