Phenotype posted:One of the big issues is the way you scale so fast with levels. I think I got a little ahead of the curve by doing sidequests, and it kinda trivialized the combat in the last third of the game. When I started out with weapons doing ~30 damage a hit, I assumed I'd be doing maybe 200 per hit by endgame, not 1500, and I think that really helped a few extra levels become so overpowering. My abilities were pretty much one- and two-shotting groups of mobs, too. Yeah that's true too, if you hit up the sidequests as early as you can you'll max out your levels about 2/3 into the game, which was slightly disappointing since hitting the top of the power curve so early only really detracts from the combat. Of course, I'm already looking forward to playing through again as a different class so I think this time I won't sidequest until much later in the game or if I find myself lagging behind. Though, considering my biggest complaint is that I wish combat was more difficult/longer, I'd have to say they created a pretty drat good system that's only really hampered by slightly too easy enemies.

So, I don't suppose anyone else is having a problem (and has figured out how to get past it) with the fight rather after you come out of the wall and run into the underpants gnomes again? For me it plays the cutscene and then just dies: black screen, no loading icons or anything, no ability to pull up the Home menu or anything. It does it every single time and I would really adore any suggestions on how the gently caress to get past this.

bunky posted:If you want to build a game for controllers solely, concentrate on consoles and forget about the PC market. Yeah. No. I'd appreciate extra support for keyboards, but a half-assed port is better than no port. Besides, this is a Steamworks game and with Big Picture and SteamOS which are both geared specifically towards controller usage it's absurd to say that PC gaming should be keyboard+mouse centric any more.

Beat the game, trying to see if I can get closer to 100% now. 1 Chinpokomon to go, #26, but don't see him listed on the treasure map and 98/100(?) friends. To anyone else who was worried about skipping stuff, you can go back and do stuff later after defeating the final boss in the tower.

I was complaining about an issue earlier. Loaded an earlier save and everything worked this time so no biggie. Other than that this game is just flat out brilliant. Also just saw the metacritic is now sitting at 86!

Just beat it. About 12 hours start to finish, did a few sidequests but still have some stuff to do. An early frontrunner for my game of the year. I laughed more at this than I did at Portal and Portal 2 combined (granted, the presentation of this game provided a lot more opportunities for humor).

I farted on an alien. It was good. That was in the overworld though. Can someone explain the advantage to farting in battle? Mana is hard to come by.

How do you shoot at things when not in combat, or is that something you are only able to do later in the game? Pressing Y gives me the grey targeting reticle, but I can't move it.

I played as a Mage and was fairly obscenely overpowered the entire game on hardcore. My strategy was to have the +pp on fire damage with lifesteal and +bonus on heal, so not only would I never run out of mana, but a single cast with my roman candle could recover all of my health. It felt a bit cheap, because I almost never had to use potions on myself only buddies if I bothered to keep them alive in long boss fights. Looks like I won't be able to get my 100% since I think I skipped two items in areas I can't go back into Gnome Armor and Witch Armor so I am stuck at 101/103. Still can't find that last drat chinpokomon so it might be somewhere I can't get back into as well. Looks like I'll just have to give it another go around later.

Thief is a very satisfying class, mage was fun but lacked a certain something for me. That something was darting behind people, pulling a real knife out, stabbing them over and over, then stealing their poo poo.

I'm a little disappointed in the 'Mug' skill for the Thief class. It seems as though you're never going to actually steal anything useful with it, right? Just junk and rarely a cheap consumable. I want confirmation because I think I may have possibly missed something. Day 3 spoilers: In the abortion clinic after the nazi fetuses break out. At one point you're faced with a puzzle that ends up with you crawling into an airvent and watching the mayhem through several grates. Right before then, you're able to crawl through the insides of a dead soldier to get behind him. Is there anything special behind him? Equipment or anything like that?

Just junk and rarely a cheap consumable. The real point of Mug is the stun, not the steal. At the final upgrade level enemies stay stunned for like 3 turns, completely trivializing any miniboss fights.

So I've only been playing for about an hour as a mage, and I was wondering how the other classes compared. Right now, I'm only level 2 and melting faces off with my roman candle plus a cumulative +20% to fire damage thanks to perks and armor. e: also god drat going through Cartman's mom's drawers

Just finished the game clocking in 14 hours, great ending and final boss and while it might be a tad short to my liking it was quality the entire time and I have zero regrets making this a full price purchase. It's a rare game that makes me want to replay it right away and this one pulled it off.

It's really incredible -- every time there is a thread like this for a new cross platform game, finding out just how many people who play PC games in the year 2014 do not have a wired 360 controller yet. Seriously, invest in one. Get over your weird 4th grader style aversion to anything console and admit that a lot of PC games these days either are designed to be played with a 360 controller, or are seriously improved experiences when you use one instead of mouse+keyboard. M+K is a great control method, and basically is the only way to play a ton of games like Civ, or FPS games, and countless others. But a game like South Park for instance is totally a controller game. So, well, deal with it, friends! ----- So I'm just firing up the game for the 2nd time, yesterday I only had time to play up through the point where you pick your class because I spent like 25 minutes listening to the whole episode of "Terrance and Phillip: Not Without My Anus" on the TV. Which, when I brought up how crazy it is this background T+P gag is 25 minutes long, someone in the thread suggested it was just the audio from the actual South Park episode centered on T+P called "Not Without My Anus" that was an April Fools gag back that year. I haven't compared them to determine if that is true, but I'm really interested to find out. So now I've been staring at the class select screen for 15 minutes because I am so terribly indecisive at picking classes in RPGs, even if they barely make a difference like it apparently is in this game. I've narrowed it down to Not A Fighter so far. Does anyone have some strong, biased as gently caress advice in support of the character they are playing so it can help me settle on a class? Thief/Jew/Mage all are equally interesting me. And like everyone else, I'm sort of drawn to the Jew class because, hell, what other game is ever going to have a Jew class? I almost have to check it out for posterity's sake, right? Thief seems cool because, well, backstabbing is awesome, plus hell of bleed stacking seems useful. And Mage, well the fire attack being just shoving a burning roman candle into dude's faces almost sells the class entirely. Plus other awesome looking and seemingly devastating spells. edit: vvv 2008 me probably would have been convinced by that alone, but 2014 me doesn't care at all about achievements. Thanks for the tip, though. Damo fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Mar 5, 2014 |

What's ironic about the controller argument is that there used to be a time when PCs not only shipped with controllers but you were expected to use different devices based on the game. Trying to play a sim without a flight stick was a fool's errand and some games required a specific device to play them. The allure of PCs used to be in their versatility. All console games are built for their controller but PCs can be built around a lot of devices. But now the M+KB is the de facto standard and whether that's a positive or negative is your opinion. I certainly don't mind a dev focusing on a specific input as long as they're forward with it like Super Meatboy or Dark Souls.

Sims need wheels because of fine movements and specialized control concepts. I don't think it's nuts to say it's silly to need a controller for a button mashing minigame, I can mash fine in other games, mashing isn't a complex thing. Also they weren't exactly upfront about it so it's an annoying little surprise.
