5/16/2023 0 Comments Torchlight 3 wardrobe questI went round and round trying to decide which RPG to include here. I wonder where Fortnite got it's disco grenade from. Not only is it gorgeous, it does a great gunfight - it's more challenging than you might think - and the guns are amazing. What good are they other than to look at? They adorable, admittedly, but isn't it also a bit irresponsible taking your dog into a gunfight with you? You should play this if you haven't. I tell you, Clank makes even the very cute bags in Fortnite (you know, the doggy bag so to speak, or the one with the hamster on a wheel) look naff. Clank can also become a kind of plane with a booster, and hop off to complete levels on his own. That's remarkable! None of my friends can do that. They can be, for instance, friends! Take Clank, Ratchet's robo buddy: he's not only a source of companionship, which is very important you know, he can also turn into a helicopter and fly Ratchet around. Ratchet & Clankīackpacks don't have to be boring, dead objects. There are even Lara Croft-inspired fanny packs. You can buy, for instance, replicas! Tthere's a very nice-looking one for only €175! Or you can make your own, following one of a few handy cosplay guides. But still the bag remains forever linked with the character. Lara now shows the equipment she's carrying around on her back, like the bow, which she kills dozens and dozens of people with, the maniac. In recent years, the backpack seems to have been quietly phased out. Doesn't check inside for spiders, though, does she? Doesn't even check what's inside! It's really been cleverly designed for the job! Quite lucky she came across it, really! There was even a special sequence in Tomb Raider 4 to show her first picking it up. And it also doesn't seem to get in the way when she's rolling around dusty tomb floors. ![]() Is there a more iconic backpack than Lara Croft's? Box design, leather body, leather straps. Here's to magic, invisible bags! Tomb Raider How's that for style?īut where did he keep it all? Where do any of the characters keep it all? Heck, in The Elder Scrolls games, you don't even seem to have a bag, so where are you putting all - down your chausses? I don't think so - think of the chafe! Brings a whole new meaning to the word ringmail.Īnyway! Enough of that because I'll probably get fired. He'd suavely reach in and produce object after object, one after another. I really liked Manny Calavera's inventory in Grim Fandango, which was effectively a capacious inside tuxedo pocket. ![]() We'd collect all kinds of junk, then mash it together in some way to create something new to help us solve a puzzle. ![]() We've been picking stuff up in games for years - as far back as the point-and-click dinosaurs of the 1990s. Manny Calavera has a wonderful wardrobe, come to think of it. ![]() Can you imagine not having a bouquet of freshly picked flowers in your bag, or slab upon slab of dripping wet meat? No! It's ridiculous - we can't not have bags. And where would we be without them? Can you imagine not hefting a sack of axes and swords and suits of armour into town to sell to the improbably rich local merchant? No. We've had some great discussions in our other Five of the Best pieces.īut now it satchelly time to talk about this week's topic.īags! Or, well, what do you call them - backpacks, inventories? Aren't they the same thing? You know, something you put your stuff in. Now is the time to celebrate them - you and me both! I will share my memories but I'm just as eager to hear yours, so please share them in the comments below. I'm talking about crowds, potions, mountains, hands - things we barely notice at the time but can recall years later because they're so important to the overall memory of the game. Five of the Best is a weekly series about the bits of games we overlook, those poor old things.
