This Stepmania showcase from AGDQ is insane. Guy reads from two scroll directions at the same time, as the notes are rotating, hitting around 20-30 notes per second all the while doing it almost perfectly (Awesome is the indicator that you're hitting the notes perfectly) to reach a full combo.
I spent about 30 mins in AC Syndicate just walking through the city of London and really took in the detail. Was really impressed by how it all looked as well as the little things that really makes it immersive. Seeing crowds of people wandering around, people doing manual labour, kids playing football, people talking with each other, how people dress differently depending on whether you're in a lower class or upper class district, the sound of carriages and steamboats going by as you approach the Thames mixed in with chatter from the crowd, posters lining up the wall. And to have the game look as good as it does is genuinely impressive, Ubisoft always do a good job with their environments for AC games but Syndicate is definitely one of their best. Makes me appreciate the fact that open world games like this have this stuff hidden away and I'm going to approach more open world games like this by just taking the time to wander around in it first and think about the design behind it and what makes it work or not work. Gonna do the same for The Witcher 3 at some point and actually really excited about it because that is already one of the best open world games out there purely because it really feels like a lived in place because you can tell the developers created areas that fit the logic of that world (e.g. coastal villages are focused on fishing, one village I saw had a ship builder and if you wander out of it you can see parts of the forest cut down so they can get wood)
