I think this is because Bethesda dudes are not sure what to do with them if you actually let them surrender. Do they just run off and despawn? What about the loot? If it just turned them into a neutral NPC, then you'd have a bandit walking around being friendly, which doesn't make much sense either.

You can say all you want about BF4 but the animations in that game are the most gorgeous I've ever seen in an FPS. I think Metro Last Light is on par graphics wise but the overall impression is so underwhelming when you consider the animations. BF4 is like the opposite of that.

The PS1 had a hardware reverb effect. Pressing pause would obviously halt sound playback, but the reverb effect was unaffected, giving it that echo. The same happens whenever reverb effects are generated using hardware or a dedicated sound engine that's unaffected by pausing.
In other words, it's not necessarily an intentional thing, but a side effect of hardware acceleration

>>277668749
There is no option to shoot or not to shoot him, its just a cutscene,
>>277656103
funny thing is, this is much easier with tracker and midi music. Games did it decades ago. Then the shift to mp3/ogg/cdda happened and the feature disappeared.
An example from 1994 is the music in Magic Carpet, adding a sound layer whenever action happened.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3zsPl4Ampw
Another famous example is Deus Ex, which had action and idle tracks in a tracker format, and hence allowed a smooth transition between the two at any moment.

not even accidently. In Doom enemies would be implemented with intentional aggression, towards not just the player, but anybody that attacks them. It's not just possible but actually useful to position yourself between two enemies, dodge a shot, and then get out of the way as the two battle each other till death.

>>277669256
Neural networks are simply a learning mechanism. They do nothing on their own, they just help to come to "conclusions" for given inputs. These conclusions need to be mapped to "actions", things the characters actually end up doing. These actions are scripted.
Simple example: if an enemy detects gun shots, is not hit, can't figure the origin and has cover nearby, they will take cover. This "will take cover" is the scripted action. Figuring out that taking cover is the appropriate action, is the neural net. The gun shots and lack of detection are inputs to the neural net.
Also, the network needs initial training.

It's funny because from a programming viewpoint it can be simpler. Just mark anything that harms you as a danger, and you're done. Doesn't matter if that danger was the player or another character. Good AI puts the enemies into a position that's somewhat "equal" to the player, in that it is only aware of its immediate surroundings, has health, has weaponry (unlimited fireballs are a weapon). It's literally yet another player, just controlled by the computer.

That would be detrimental to faster paced FPS though, like Serious Sam. There's a reason there wasn't a reload button until 3, and even in 3 there's an achievement for not using any of the new features, including reloading.

>Useless animation buttons in roaming RPGs
Some games with a lot of walking have a useless button that does something. Like in Ar Tonelico, you have a jump button that you can spam as many times as you want. Ni no Kuni has a purchasable 'upgrade' that adds a useless jump button, which the game even tells you about. But I still bought that shit in a heartbeat. Or Transistor's flourish animation, although I would've appreciated more things to do while traveling in that game.
It does literally nothing for the gameplay, but it makes the tediousness of walking around bearable and even enjoyable. Something to do with my right hand while I'm just running around with my left thumb is always welcome.

stop arguing semantics retard, when you talk about something scripted in a game, it's the static events (go trough that door, cinematic+enemies appear!), not the dynamic ones like the AI, even if, of course, there's a script for that too
>>277673569

>>277673360

Fair enough, I think people might have thought you were wondering why a laser rifle/rail gun would have rifling.
>>277673569
Not him but split second does it on each level becauseit's a gameshow and you are participating
>>277673425
The fire was incredible. Especially using it in a combat advantage so it forces the bad guys into the open. I still love everything about Far Cry 2...except most of the actual game. The setting, visuals, voices, gunplay, set pieces, story premise... so good. But as a game as a whole, just frustrating.

That "of course", that you take for granted, isn't necessarily. With more complex AI you can move opponent behavior closer to player-like behavior. That's why I mentioned the scripting. Even rather free-form AI currently has large scripted aspects, but it's retreating in the good ones

Has there ever been an RPG which gave you different item descriptions/codex entries based on your class? Like maybe barbarians start knowing more about creatures while mages know more about history and such.
>>277676403
Hitman 2 was my favourite example of this
>>277674586
Payday 2 was fucking great with that. Normal and Hard difficulties mostly have regular street cops and some SWATs, Very Hard and Overkill spawn different SWATs with body armor that actually stops bullets instead of just being there for a show and Deathwish makes most enemy spawns be elite mercenaries that are almost immune to crowd control, flinching, conversion etc. and replaces the regular tanky shotgun bulldozer enemy with a more powerful recolor that wields a light machine-gun. And while not strictly enemies, Deathwish also changes most safes into Titan safes that are only openable by drilling and Titan cameras that can't be destroyed.

Freespace was cool about it. You had optional objectives, and the battle would take place without you, eventually making some of these objectives impossible to meet.

In the Secret World when your character dies you go into an anima state which is an incorporeal form only available to humans blessed by the bees and some quests require you to die in order to talk to ghosts or get into areas that humans can't get into. It's pretty damn neat. A villain even mentions it when you confront him. He claims he needs you gone to complete his plan, but because of the bees it'd take far too long to permanently kill you so he just knocks you out and leaves you in a labyrinth.

Some RPGs do it with an aggression circle that shrinks based on your abilities. Something stronger than you will start charging you yards away, something weaker than you might stand next to you and do nothing until you actually hit it

Isn't Shadow of Colossus famous for this? The whole purpose of the game isultimate self-sacrifice

I guess MGS4 in a way? Snake gets worse and worse as you go, has to have those shots more often and stuff.

Thas was exactly the game that i thought when i wrote that
> Your clothing is ripped when you receive damage.
>>277680898
I still don't get that plot
Why the fuck do we kill queelag?
Who the fuck is Crossbreed Priscilla?
Why I need to ring those bells?
>>277669146
He said "scripted segment" thouhg.
>>277676896
>Bayonetta 2's opening
>The Mech war section in Bayonetta 2
Holy fuck my dick was so hard
>>277681349
And that's why I added my statement about the different levels of scripting

Also fun fact, I found out you can duck under the sideways sword swing of an elite

>>277681334
>Why the fuck do we kill queelag?
Because she attacks you as you attempt to get to the second bell
>Who the fuck is Crossbreed Priscilla?
Someone the god's feared, possibly a creation of Seath.
>Why I need to ring those bells?
To gain access to Sen's Fortress (and through that, Anor Londo)
>>277681334
>Queelag
She's in your way to get to the bells
>Crossbreed Priscilla
A cunt who lives in a painted world, isn't really part of the plot
>Ring those bells
So you can get that Big Soul Basin thing that opens the door to rekindle that old fire
>Kill a boss as part of an event
>You get all of the rewards as if you killed them normally
>>277678120
i heard the last COD has something like that, pressing reload does the slow animation that does not make you lose bullets while double tapping the button does a faster animation at the expense of the ammo in the first mag
>>277681525
I fucking hate this because most of the time the ringing sound is way too fucking loud.
Looking at you specifically, Hotline Miami.
>Character unlocks a new move in the middle of battle
Hypest shit
>scenes that make you exausted
>>277655147
I love that too.
In a masochistic kind of way because that's also some kind of phobia I have. To me an echo is terrifying, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

I always liked how Kingdom Hearts did this.
>>277680629
Earthbound does this
>>277676718
You can avoid this by picking save and continue instead of save and quit, and then just shutting the game off.
I called bullshit on my friend back in the day when he told me that Raiden's body armor would appear in cutscenes if you equipped it beforehand.
That was the beginning of my love for Kojima.
>comfy hub where things change depending on your actions
I loved going to Firelink Shrine and talking to people.
>>277678781
>>277678717
In-game cutscenes that use your current costumes are the best.
I'm surprised we still have pre-rendered video cutscenes in this age.
>>277679714
Picked that up during the sale and still haven't played it yet. Kinda looking forward to it
>>277660689
Red faction Armageddon had a mother 3 reference that NOBODY reported.
Ten points if somebody tells me the reference.
>>277671126
the original Shining Force even did it. Maybe not quite as robust, but any teammates who weren't actively in your party could be found throughout the base just fucking around.
>>277682086

Yeah, but why?
>Someone the god's feared, possibly a creation of Seath.
Where in the game they explain that?
>>277681541
>Queelag
>Crossbreed Priscilla
Yeah, I played the game too. Doesn't explain anything.
>o you can get that Big Soul Basin thing that opens the door to rekindle that old fire
why?
>bonus area where you can collect rare items for a limited time
>>277680659
didn't one sidequest in skyrim work that way? granted, the "puzzle" was pull the levers with symbols described in the book, but still... i'm not even sure it was actually skyrim, but i remember it happen quite recently and i played very few RPGs lately
>>277682450
>why
Because the game told you so.
Bad story telling happens
>final level

Trespasser was fun
An enemy that used to be a boss becomes a regular mob later down the line. Really gives you the feel you've progressed and gotten stronger
>>277673719
>game has a good reason/explanation and cool animation for when you respawn.
>>277683032
usually a weakened variant is introduced, and it smells of power creep, where the player character might have gained values, but the player is still the same. I'd rather see my skills improve, not the numbers
>>277680629
Gothic has this to some extent. When you start out and draw a weapon, everyone is ready to beat your ass up. When you get stronger and draw a weapon, everyone is trying to talk you into putting it away because they're afraid you'll beat them up.
>>277660689
Probably I'm retarded, but what is interesting in such warning?

This would be great if they just ended their conversations with a bye or "Oh well, gtg see ya", because now in 99% of hte cases they have their random very in depth discussion and then just kind of start walking away from each other. Feels very unnatural.
>>277668485
First time listening those I was high and I cried.
Japanese sounds are equally horrible.
>A character death in a cut scene
>Uses the game over music
>>277684145
it's the character death music. It just applies to the player character as well
>>277680629
The BamHam games kinda do this if you stealthily take out lots of enemies.
