The chicken sound in Streets of Rage

edit: ah man, I love everything about the chicken in Streets of Rage

 

[Feep]

Couldn't find a good image, but the rain drops hitting Samus' visor in Metroid Prime.

 

[honeymustardn]

Pressing down on the d-pad in Pikmin 1.

 

[jmls1121]

Pink bob-ombs calling Mario "Stache Man" in Galaxy 2.

Link hugging the walls with that shify eyed look in the Foresaken Fortress in Wind Waker.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Save points/ save rooms in silent hill

 

[Tex117]

BLAARG!

Comin to get ya

I laughed.

Good work.

 

[Zhengi]

Clicking on units multiple times in games Starcraft and Warcraft 2 to get dialogs from them.

Zug zug!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

When RPGs have funny little comments for lots of little objects you encounter.

"It's a rack full of spices...or people, it's really hard to tell" is probably one of my favorites, from Steambot Chronicles, a game where all the major characters have spice related names.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Every main menu that has different tones for each menu choice (just can't think of a specific game right now, but I know there are several games that do this).
And I don't know if that would still be considered "little", but hearing the Fanfare when I turn on a DQ game.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I dont know why. Its just awesome.

 

[Canis lupus]

Marco

Really? Ugh...


Polo

.

 

[Razek]

When clouds cast shadows on the ground. Alan Wake did this in real time with its skybox clouds and it blew my mind.

 

[Muffdraul]

The way Materia in the menu looked like actual little colorful crystal beads.

 

[Ferrio]

Getting that one last hit on your opponent when you've won in SF3:3/SF4 or other type games..

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Demon's Souls

Spoiler

When you free Yurt, and bodies start appearing in the Nexus. It leaves you questioning your memory of the area and wondering what the hell's going on, and he eventually starts killing vital NPCs

 

[Typographenia]

Bouncing tits in DOA.

Little things.

Pile of bodies that doesn't disappear.

Hahahaha, I love this one. Either lets me know I'm doing excellently, or I really blew it.

 

[TimeEffect]

The Killzone kill chirp

[someguyinahat]

The combination of "comedy relief music", the "cold wind blowing" sound effect and the pop can rolling across the screen in Devil Survivor 2. Even alone they're amusing to me, but together it's terrific.

Right here.

 

[Anteater]

Easter eggs, cheesiness, when games don't take itself seriously, funny enemy death screams, when enemies in games aren't afraid to actually kill you.

Dancing robots in Vanquish

Everything God Hand

 

[jaypah]

The pause chime in SMB1. That's mostly due to nostalgia and it being in my top 3 favorite games of all time. Also from the same game, that feeling you get when you hit the bricks just right to go to the minus world. Sometimes I turn the game on just to do that. Feels good man.

 

[sublimit]

Lara saying "aha" when she found a secret in Tomb Raider 2 as well as that little chime.

Another one I like is going down pipes. "Down Down Down!"

This

And landing combos perfectly in Umvc3 after practicing them tirelessly in training mode

 

[MickeyPhree]

I just love the way it looks. Would fire off a round just to reload for the hell of it.

 

[Famassu]

Muimui house in Locoroco 2 (with the music and all the Muimuis jamming)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i00dzk43fg

I don't even know why it makes me so happy, I get teary-eyed, even. I guess it reminds me of care-free & happier times.

 

[Clydefrog]

Shooting the chickens in Counter-Strike.

 

[Mlatador]

When I stand/walk near a ledge and the camera turns around slighty so that I can enjoy the view more (like in Skyward Sword ^^).

I wish I could let the developers know how much I appreciate those "little" things.

 

[StuBurns]

Seeing people chirp in Journey. It has no practical application, they just want to you enjoy their company, so cool.

They're all so happy

Why did they never give us a proper PS3 one

 

[gryz]

Shooting the beehives while fighting Ocelot in MGS3. Killling a guy, then killing the vulture who was eating him and eating it. Basically anything in MGS.

This music.

also this.

 

[Vire]

Couldn't find a good image, but the rain drops hitting Samus' visor in Metroid Prime.

That's a really good one. Great touch.

Also, people citing Mario Galaxy are cheating. That entire game is happiness.

Haha never heard that before but now I'll hear it every time. Thanks!

 

[weepy]

The dancing Koopas on NSMB

Hahahaahaaa

 

[gryz]

anyone notice that the majority of these are in Japanese games...

 

[Mxrz]

- Snow & rain effects.
- Eavesdropping in Stealth games.
- Banter in Uncharted & co-op games.
- Controlling Sackboy's mood with the dpad.
- Partner bitching at you for crashing in LA Noire.

 

[jaypah]

I had a guy chirping non-stop. Turns out he was trying to show me a secret. That was super cool. I actually felt sad when I couldn't find them at one point, I had gotten so accustomed to playing with them.

 

[Sethos]

Sun shafts / God rays in games make me all giggly.

 

[MetatronM]

In Xenoblade Chronicles, the background color and design of the party menu/inventory changes depending on what zone you're in. Little touches like that I dig.

 

[SilentTristero]

Feeding animals in Okami. I did it hundreds of times, and I didn't skip the animation once.

[The_Hitcher89]

Something that always makes me smile is the weapon in WipeOut which raises the track in a shockwave pattern, slowing down everyone ahead of you. And locking onto someone with low health and watching that rocket fly, culminating in a sweet explosion and chassis flying across the track

 

[Izayoi]

Hit confirm tick marks/sounds, the sound when you pick up items/gold in MMOs (Tera and PSO2 especially).

 

[Andrew J.]

Interesting flavor text for items and equipment.

 

[Mabase]

Hearing the drums come in when jumping onto Yoshi.

 

[RionaaM]

- Eavesdropping in Stealth games.

Yes, this. You just reminded me of the time I heard 2 guards talking about the Beatles in No One Lives Forever. Couldn't stop laughing for several minutes. That game and the sequel have some of the best NPC dialogue ever.

 

[ffdgh]

That's a really good one. Great touch.

oh fine......

the tribal shyguys in yoshi island

 

[gryz]

the sound effect that plays when you save in Xenogears.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Anything that can launch an enemy a billion miles away at a billion miles per hour. If not that, at least something that makes enemies go flying

 

[MYE]

The chirpy sounds of scrolling text in the Paper Mario games.

I love it. LOVE IT
