Little touches in games that made you smile

[redisforever]

A ton of little lore things in The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, but especially being able to ask Gandalf why they don't just use the eagles to fly the ring to Mordor.

Why not? I must know now!

leaving the first little village in Skyrim to Whiterun, the little forest and the sudden flock of song birds flying out from the tree's and into the sunlight, the soft music and the deer staring cautiously at you on the road made me gasp in awe and smile. i haven't seen a lot of games that put fleeting birds and innocent background animals in them. its a very nice touch.

i cant wait untill open world games have seasons, that would be the icing on the cake.

There are plenty, but one I thought of was in Assassin's Creed 2: "It's a-me! Mario!"

This, so much this.

After going to Italy and visiting San Gimignano and Monteriggioni, I really like how they have recreated the towns in the game.

In Uncharted, Drake slows down and concentrates on his feet when he's running up or down stairs. Nothing major, but I like it.

The Marco Polo bit in Uncharted 2 and the callback to it in Uncharted 3.

hah wow, two uncharted likes in a row?

is this the escapist? be prepared to burn in hell for those comments

OT: while i agree with both of those, i'd also like to add alot of the dialogue in the uncharted games where drake will say something the lines of "HOLY SHIT! how the hell did I just survive that" (huge explosion or something just caved in and you make an epic jump save)

When the MGS1 life bars filled up at the end of MGS4. Nostalgia overload.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

FINALLY a human being that LIKED MGS4.

What? There were others than me? I'm not alone!

In Modern Warfare 2 during the mission where you're sniping with Captain Price on the way to the sub base and Price says the dogs are like pussycats compared to the ones in Pripyat which was a nice call back to that mission in Cod4. Also in MW3 when you see that MacMillan has become the head of Mi-5 showing that he remained in the Sas after his accident in Pripyat.
Edit: I almost forgot about New Vegas when your in the vault that is split into a red and blue half and one terminal message mentions a blue spy n disguse as a red. I liked how Rex was originally owned by the legion and then became the King's dog since Rex is the Latin word for king.
