You can also do a lot of stuff for playing to the genre. <br /><br />There is also things like the classic "Take your best shot" or something like in Kick-Ass where Hit Girl watches the guy get ready with the knife before going "Hey I have one of those!"A.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05306497273874881493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624244242117701070.post-34137209890746982422010-08-05T16:08:01.687-04:002010-08-05T16:08:01.687-04:00I do this to some extent and I agree that it makes...I do this to some extent and I agree that it makes the game seem more realistic and more fun.
