Tiny details in video games you like

[Rap Daniel]

In Ace Combat 7, if you fly through the explosion from destroying an enemy ship or a missile hitting the water, water droplets appear on the cockpit

 

[blue sky love]

I like how they put Super Mario 64 themed paintings that you can see if you look in the castle window in Ocarina of Time.

 

[blue sky love]

I like how in the Ren and Stimpy game for Sega Genesis, if you press a certain button, Ren always slaps Stimpy and calls him an idiot.

 

[Nyro46]

In Stardew Valley, when you become good enough friends with characters, you can go in their rooms and usually there will be some things in their rooms that will give a little info on their personalities and even past.

 

[NotACrow]

In Payday 2, the Game crashes.

Wow, much realism.

 

[Rap Daniel]

In Interstellar Pilot, pressing buttons on the screen makes futuristic beeps, and it makes me feel like I'm actually controlling a starship in real life.

 

[Breyo]

In Resident Evil 4, catching Ashley when she jumps from a ladder while in her knight armor makes Leon hold his back in pain lol

 

[Ace412]

So in Borderlands 2, there’s a sticker on some of the dumpsters. It’s a circle witch a person pitching a baby in the dumpster with a line through it lol. Cracks me up

 

[LeFay]

In Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty if Raiden stares at the pigeons on the oil rig long enough they will poop on the camera.

Also if you dodge roll on stairs Snake and Raiden will just collapse as if falling down the stairs.

 

[Leeze]

In the Witcher 3 if you pay close attention during many of the cutscenes, you can see Gaunter ‘O Dim creepin on Geralt. I also really like in the Borderlands series if you leave your character to idle, they get pissed off at you and voice their displeasure.

 

[Rap Daniel]

The dialogue between Stormtroopers before they've noticed you in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

 

[Rap Daniel]

In No Man's Sky, whenever you move in the Galactic Map, a quiet "whoosh" sound plays. I didn't notice until I started using headphones. It really makes me appreciate the incredible sound design of No Man's Sky.

 

[Guifrog]

In Innovation Inc. Spaceship (Roblox) there's many interesting details like the Ludicrous Speed in Hyper Jump (a rare random occurrence), the subtle sound of your character's breath when they wear their astronaut suit to go outside the ship - btw zero gravity makes the control of your jetpack difficult to manage much in the way I'd imagine -, and when you crash land in a moon with barely any atmosphere your head slowly inflates and explodes with a 'pop' kinda sound. I could make a list just coz I'm biased right now

 

[Skittles]

Wouldn't say it was a tiny detail. But the entire game Elite Dangerous is to scale.. Yes. You can visit and explore the ENTIRE galaxy.

 

[HistoricalyIncorrect]

Basically entire Witcher 3

I really liked it in games like Dark Souls 2, where when your character suffers damages, he or she takes on a more exhausted stance and has more and more trouble standing up straight.

Ah how could I forget. Amount of details in all Dark Souls games is astonishing.
In DS1 you can catch parasite if you do not have helmet on and it eventually will grow instead of your head, giving you unique kicking animation... and takes half of your souls.
It is shit thing to have but quite a neat addition.

 

[HistoricalyIncorrect]

Gothic 1-2
While game often overshadowed by Morrowind it had it's share of memorabls mechanics. People were working during day, sleeping in night and hanging out in taverns in evening. Different social classes had other things to do and you as player could also interact with everything. Sit down to smoke shisha? Have a go. Relax in recliner on take q break on bench? Go for it. Wanna saw down few planks? Sure... just needs saw of course. Hell you can even go to brothel.

Amount of details in Gothic puts down even modern games to shame. In fact? You have so many things to do in very first city of Gothic 2 that many people do not even see reason to go any further as they find entertainment there.

Quite impressive for game which i constantly play since 2002

Absolutely! Or everything that revolves around the old witch ring, doing nothing and blocking out a ring slot just for some extra (very sad) dialogue.

 

[HistoricalyIncorrect]

If only that. Entire lore, it's details and way of story telling. Hell even direction where and which enemies come from even tell the story. Killing a single bug which looks different than others around can either save your friend... and cause him to fall to madness.

There is a reason why this series is loved so much despite being so notorious.

 

[Captain TrashPanda]

In Battlefield One when you’re riding on a horse with the Russian 1895 lever action rifle, occasionally the horse rider will spin the rifle around wild-wild-west style to eject the spent bullet casing instead of the normal lever action.

 

[HistoricalyIncorrect]

I just remembered one funny thing about Team Fortress. During the Meet the spy video. Spy cuts sniper on the cheek with a knife and after this trailer, Sniper's model was actually updated with a scar.
Or during Meet the scout video. After Scout pokes the camera, you can see grease finger print on the glass for the rest of the video if you look closely.

 

[Captain TrashPanda]

Currently in Apex legends Winter Express mode, if you play as Mirage when he hears his voice he'll mutter, "does my voice really sound like that?" I find it funny they keep his hilarious voice acting running.

 

[SLB-Portu24]

On Football Manager 2020 you'll get game generated players who are as bald as Caillou at 15-16 years old and some who have the facial features of an unemployed alcoholic in his 40's that has slept more times while passed out on the floor than in bed.

 

[Faustus]

In the original Warcraft RTS, if you keep clicking the boat unit over and over without issuing orders, you can make the sailor seasick.

(there were loads of similar ones for other units too, but that’s the first one I remember finding)
