Defeat Equals Explosion: Difference between revisions

** In [[Mechwarrior]] 4, some vehicles will simply turn into skeletal outlines of their former selves when destroyed, and aircraft usually cause a small explosion when shot down. Fairly reasonable, all things concerned. However, every defeated 'Mech violently flings itself to the ground and then goes critical with a blown reactor, no matter what kind of damage destroyed it—a shot through the torso, both legs blown off, or a cockpit hit. The end result is invariably a chunky 'Mech-shaped pile of burnt debris, looking every bit like a total loss. The tendency for every 'Mech to do this raises questions as to how your technicians manage to salvage equipment and weapons off these blown-up remnants...including entire intact, viable 'Mechs.

* Every single boss in ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'' goes up in a fiery explosion after you defeat it. For the ship battles, this makes some sense. But when it's a giant hollow Jello monster filled with poison with skulls floating around in it? Or what appears to be a gigantic evil toucan? ''They explode about as violently as the ships do.''
