jacketspuds Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Beating Orphan of Kos on Bloodborne, or those pissing giant fish pricks in the well. Other than it’s the feeling of playing in a movie that Naughty Dog games give me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornso Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Decent soundtracks. Have heard a lot of good music (and terrible music) over the years and discovered songs/artists that I wouldn't have heard otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_a Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 In-jokes and references to other films / games like: Spoiler Seeing a skeleton in a fridge in one of the fallout games Good quest and quest arcs, with more than one way of doing the mission. Headshots. In the division, the headshot sound was a horrible squelch lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitized43 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 When you play an obviously unfinished game that’s playable and the little bugs just make it better. Thinking of DayZ when running from a zombie into a house, close the door, and the mofo literally runs through the wall.

Straggler Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) My first perfect run on rainbow road (Super Mario Kart). Oh, and dropping a green shell behind you to save yourself from a homing red shell. Deeply satisfying.

Told you It's only on Mario kart 64 IIRC Have you ever seen a speech bubble with a little musical note pop out of your driver and not know what it is? Basically if you run over a banana skin (or when you skid on ice I think or get bumped into by Bowser or something) on MK64 you don't immediately spin, you do a kind of skiddy wobble beforehand. If you hit B while that's happening then your driver doesn't spin. And he does that little musical note thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he does that little musical note thing. 150cc is almost unplayable because you can make yourself skid without touching a banana or anything else and you have to keep stopping it. Also hitting Bowser is an instant skid, it's the ones where you start wobbling for a couple of seconds that you can stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 That point in a game where you suddenly just know from muscle memory which button to press, how to aim perfectly and what tactics or skills to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I really appreciate a good ladder climbing animation. Any ladder, in any game, I am there to determine if A ) one can climb it, B ) if it is an auto climb or manual climb, C ) the quality of the animation), D ) if there is any danger of falling and perhaps most importantly E ) how long it is. There are some really good examples, and really terrible examples. Whether the ladder is great or not though, I appreciate it, and really lament those ladders in games which you can not climb. I think this particular perversion for started for me with Metal Gear Solid. Some of my favourites are from MGS3, GTAV and Last of Us. Great, great ladders. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are the real final boss of BB. I guess they are guarding the second best weapon in the game though. On the subject of Bloodborne I love it when you try something you don't expect to work in a game and it ends up unlocking or activating something, and you feel like you just got a fist bump from the dev. Like 'maybe I'll just put this crown on and sit on the throne for a second..', or 'I wonder what would happen if I combined these two items', that kind of thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
