Press Y to honk is now the new press F to pay respects
Nah its the direct opposite
Press Y to pay disrespects
Y
Okay let me rant about this a bit. Press Y to honk IS, quite literally, exact opposite of press F.
Press F to pay respects appears only once in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare - hell, only once in entire Call of Duty series. It’s a single, context-sensitive action that you can never do before or again. In addition, you are forced to do it to progress - if you won’t, you will sit there at this stupid funeral for hours and days. It’s funny because it’s so horribly ill-fitting and forced. We’re laughing AT writers and designers who thought this was a good idea.
Press Y to honk, on the other hand, is systemic, not contextual. At any point in Untitled Goose Game, you can honk, whenever you like - it’s a dedicated honking button. Not only that, but honking has an actual effect - NPCs will be distracted by hearing it, turning in your direction, and some will run away. The act of honking is not funny - what’s funny is the concept of honking, that in a game about a goose there is a button dedicated solely to honking - but also, what’s funny are the interactions that ARISE from using the honk. Making someone trying to hammer a nail smash his thumb by honking right as the hammer goes down - that’s great comedy, and it’s PLAYER CONTROLLED comedy. We’re laughing WITH the designers, because they gave us a gameplay tool, a mechanic that is hilarious because we have the power to make it hilarious.
Press F to pay respects is funny because it’s horrible game design. Press Y to honk is funny because it’s amazingly good game design.
