I'd rather have a game be too easy rather than be too balls-crushingly hard. I play games for fun and not prove my worthiness. Besides, I've already put up with that bullshit back in the NES days. Don't get me wrong I'd rather not have a game be a cakewalk, but dying over and over again on a section is unfun. This game's difficulty is just right. You have to pay attention at least or the enemies will wreck you poo poo, at least until you get your character built to steamroll over most fights. The only fight I really had trouble with was with Al Gore, but that fight is an exercise in abusing speed potions and debuffs really. wafflemoose fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Mar 11, 2014 |

The main problem with the game being too easy is more that there are jokes in a lot of the boss battles you can miss by beating them too fast. You can't pass either which means you can only stretch it out by attacking and just not hitting too hard

I'm talking to the team about this one, I'll see if there's a workaround. This doesn't sound like the Buddy glitch but just to be sure, try changing your buddy. There's another bug that won't let you progress if you keep the same buddy for long periods of time, but it usually presents with an endless loading screen so I don't think this is it. Regardless, shouldn't hurt to at least try. edit: for you, precision, a transcript of the related comments: Affected user: Yo, how do I proceed in Canada? I was told to talk to the Earl of Winnipeg but all anyone talks about is stupid Dire Bears? Respondant: There are Dire Bears in the top right of the town which you need to kill. Affected user: The guard won't let me through. Respondant: Speak to the earl, he should give you a mission to kill the dire bears. Affected user: He does not. He says he wants pelts to make robes, but no quest. My most recent quest is still telling me to show him the documents. Two days later, same Affected user: Goddammit.

I really thought that the entire reason Kenny kept getting back up was to facilitate that -- one companion scene per Kenny rebirth. When he dropped for good after only getting Butters, Kyle, and Jimmy to fire I was very disappointed. Also, I know this one probably won't happen, but... I get the joke on the Jew class gear, I do. Bonuses for suffering, haha, I laughed. The first time. The thing is, being damaged and debuffed is a fail state -- I've been stacking armor and taking the Let It Slide perk and eating potions and blocking the whole game just to avoid it. Gear that rewards me for being critically injured with four debuffs on me isn't going to make me try and play that way, it's going to make me go "oh goddammit I ranked up and they slapped a whole bunch of new Jew gear on me, it's all useless, gotta hit my inventory and take it all off ASAP". "Oh no, now I'm weaker" is probably not the intended result for getting a new set of level-appropriate gear?

Stalins Moustache posted:I just finished this game, but Friend scenes? I'm not sure if I even had one of them. What happens? At some point, Kenny will bust out a special attack that corresponds to your current buddy, and you'll get a QTE to block it. If you block it, your buddy has to sit out the rest of the fight and another of your buddies steps forward. There are enough special attacks like that to get all your buddies sitting out, I think.

Besides, I've already put up with that bullshit back in the NES days. It was the fun kind of easy, where you learn to steamroll the game by actually playing it and learning how things interact to stack a shitzillion debuffs on someone. It kind of feels like you earned it, without being so tough as to make most people just go to GameFAQs and read a guide as to how to do it like a lot of RPGs would. Kinda reminded me of the class interactions on Penny Arcade Episode III.

I played a thief and I kept dreaded a new title change because it meant all my equipped stuff would be replaced with worse gear, and in some cases patches and strap-ons would be removed from my gear for absolutely no reason. None of the class-specific gear is as good as stuff you can buy, and the stuff you can buy is not nearly as good as stuff you just find out in the world.

I had no idea that wasn't what you were supposed to do. In my fight it synced up perfectly where I killed him once per buddy with the buddy scenes, and then the final kill I needed was with just me left. I just figured he'd keep respawning unless you did it that way, since I mistimed a few buddy scenes initially and Kenny kept getting back up. So he just has a set amount of lives that aren't conveyed to you in any way?

I loved Bull Rush for its haste when you had it fully ranked. The jump one was good for the AOE stun when you max leveled it as well. I never maxed Assault and Battery because by the time I realized how good Bleed was I had strap-ons that let me do the same thing without spending PP, but it was good for hitting targets in the back.

I've seen most people say that Thief and Mage are the most easy to break the game with. I'm playing as a Thief myself and even their early abilities are just insane (like Mug, which is a guaranteed Stun attack).

I've heard thief is the most broken class, but after watching speedruns of this game, I'd have to say mage is the best. Dragon's Breath is just so ridiculous once you level it up enough to break armor.

So I feel stupid for asking this, maybe something's just hosed up with my controller, but when giving Randy the abortion, I'm at the dilate part and I get to the point where Randy says that he's as wide as he can get and I stop spinning the controller stick but the action keeps on going and get the 'oh is that blood?' bit every loving time...

Yeah, I failed that one constantly and had to shift to kb/m to finish it on my first playthrough. On my second once I finally realized they wanted me to spin the stick as fast as possible I was able to do it easily with the controller. The on-screen prompts are just really bad for establishing what they want you to do.

It's prep stuff for the German version. Every version needs to be patched in order to fix it because of the way Steam handles Depots.

Speaking of that particular point (end of the clinic spoilers), I knew there was a secret achievement for farting on the fetus after you kill it but I was pleasantly surprised there is also some bonus reactionary comments made by your buddy if you physically interact with the object. I smacked the fetus corpse and its head split open and goo spilled out, and Butters comments,"You know Douchebag, I'm starting to think there is something seriously wrong with you.".

Well it looks like it's currently sitting at an 86 on metacritic and I doubt any publisher is going to gently caress over a dev if they don't get higher than a 90 or something. If anything they might have something in there in case Obsidian built something that was a buggy, unplayable mess. And let's face it, with Obsidian this wasn't really that unlikely.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or lovely playing on my part, but I'm having some real difficulties damaging enemies on the third day. I mean sure, they may have high armour ratings. I can understand that being a damage mitigating factor. But when my crossbow deals upwards of 1200 damage a shot in a row, and its bleed delivery via patch, but my Slashing Blade of the Ranger with a lightning and cold patch only deals one point of damage across all classes plus delivering debuffs normally, I'm starting to think something weird is going on. EDIT: For clarification. Zombies with 1000 armour and higher get damaged normally by my bow. Melee weapons do next to nothing to them.

I noticed the same thing, but when you can stack gross-out, fire, and bleeding to a target, it honestly no longer matters if you're doing one point of damage. Also, try swapping Stan in - his top attack is pretty easy to ace and each strike takes off something like 100+ armor.

I noticed the same thing...could it be poorly documented resistances? I also had a number of times, mostly on my super Jew dreidel ability, where it seemed like I automatically fumbled the input. I'd whale on A and D but get the fail version of the ability, even though the word Perfect would flash on the screen.
