In Far Cry 2, you can pick one of about 13 mercenaries to play as. It has no effect on anything other than your arms (it's an FPS), and I love it.
Unimportant Things In Games That Make You Grin And Think 'Neat'

Yeah, Bioware do characters and character interation incredibly well. They have done since the Black Isle days.LittleBlondeGoth said:
Aphril: I see through the walls, for there are no walls when you are somewhere else! I walk through them all, and they walk through me!
Edwin: It is a weakness on her part. A superior mind could handle such a gift.
Viconia: Ha! A pity we do not have one here!
Edwin: (Sigh. It's aggravation like this that will eventually cause me to fireball the entire party as they sleep. Yes indeed, everyone peaceful and quiet and then FOOM!)
I like shooting games that leave your empty shells on the ground (even if it's just for a few minutes), it's a nice touch in my opinion. Also like games in third person when you're in a cold area and you can see your breath, also a nice touch.
GTA had them in all the games since III to my knowledge. I would record the stats after every 30 days to see how I progress through a year.EHKOS said:
For me, I loved the conversations in the elevators in Mass Effect. Sometimes they were just hilarious.
I also really loved the day/night cycle in the first Jak and Daxter game. It's a very subtle touch but done really amazingly.
Josip's little bandana, ahh good times.Stephen Wo said:
OT: Civilization 4, Catherine (Russia).
If you make a diplomatic offer that she refuses, she slaps the camera, and it reacts.
...maybe you had to be there.
The first keycode in Deus Ex Human Revolution was the exact same one as the first keycode in the original Deus Ex.
I grinned when I saw that. Yeah, I remember them to.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. At the beginning of the game if you look at Farah in first person for long enough she asks you to stop looking at her. Later in the game if you do the same, she'll make a comment on the colour of your eyes. It's a nice touch.
In Max Payne 3, whenever you use a bottle of pills to get some health back, he throws it on the ground. Also, if you happen to carry an assault rifle (or any two-handed weapon), in cinematics where he uses his pistol, he carries his rifle in his left hand by the body of the weapon.
Silent Hill 1 had a surprisignly extensive amount of animations for Harry. If you sprint into a wall, he'll put his hands out to stop him self and stagger abit. He also had a genuine turning animation, which was rare in those days.
Also, I would mention the increasingly severe burns on Walker's face in Spec Ops: The Line, but I don't feel that those are unimportant.

OT: In Starcraft, clicking on the same unit over and over results in them getting increasingly annoyed with you.
However, if you click on an innocent animal enough times in a row, it nukes. It NUKES. In the first game, anyways. In the second one, they just combust.
While not my favourite, it certainly is fun to go through the stats pages and find weird shit they've been tracking.Matthew94 said:
The way that windows break in Resistance Fall of Man. It's completely inconsequential but I wasted quite a few bullets for no other reason than it looked cool!
Whenever I'm playing an open world game and I hear of my own exploits through radios, or from NPCs who don't know that I'm the person they are talking about. That always makes me smile.

Some of the scenes you get with Megatron in War for Cybertron and the sequel. In War, he has some brilliantly sarcastic dialogue, most of it chewing out his underlings, especially Breakdown; "Yes Breakdown, your constant whining saw us through," and "Yes Breakdown, I am well known for my sparkling sense of humour." In the first level, he blasts an unnamed Decepticon for arguing with him over the insanity of his plan to crash his spaceship into the enourmous space station they're headed for. Later, someone comments that a lot of Decepticons have been injured, Megatrons response? "Unacceptable! They should be victorious, or dead!"
In Fall, he has some nice scenes with Soundwave and his minions, like when he walks in and sees Rumble repeatedly smashing a dead Autobot, Megatron just quips, "Show no mercy Rumble." You can also pet Laserbeak, and he even lands on Megs' arm at one point during a cutscene. Megatron definately seems to have a soft spot for the little guys.
I also like some of the callbacks to the movie they put in during the dinobots level.
