Baba Yaga Fanboy posted:That's I was wondering how people were doing this. The "I'm stuck somewhere, reset me to the checkpoint" item doesn't do that, and I don't think the game will let you trade 100% for your life for bullets, it won't let you do it if you'll die from it. e: Although a related nice little thing is that if you're low on bullets you can self-harm near an enemy, then kill that enemy to get the health back, if you're fast enough. bewilderment has a new favorite as of 05:02 on Mar 27, 2015 |

In Bloodborne your character can get covered in blood, or slime, or whatever the enemy is dripping and it gets stuck to your clothing. It's a really cool effect. What is even cooler is that if you remove your helmet, only the parts where you skin were showing are covered in blood.

In Deus Ex Human Revolution it's a necessity that poo poo gets hacked so plot stuff happens, and I like that they make the effort to justify it by making Pritchard a bad sysadmin with STOP DOWNLOADING SHAREWARE GUYS emails.

The 3DS game Azure Striker Gunvolt, spiritual successor to MegaMan Zero, has a nice bit of game design. The game has a mechanic where if you are reduced to zero health you may get revived instantly in the same spot because your supporting character, a pretty much literal J-pop anime idol has the ability to affect other psychics with her songs. After the tutorial level, where you meet this character and get an explanation of this you have your choice of levels to play, and the one your cursor defaults to is pretty much intended to show this off. In this level the second session features a rising water section designed around vertical climbs and one nasty section with shutters closing to block your escape, and as your character's main offence is to generate electricity to arc to targets you've designated with your gun this is pretty nasty. If you select his level first you probably haven't mastered the mobility you have, nor have you likely made any of the mobility boosting accessories, so the water will probably catch you, likely near where you get to those loving shutters, leading to a swift death as you try to zap your way out, frying you instead. Its a nice way of demoing the system really, you don't get a forced death or anything, you are just likely to die instead, giving you a nice intro to the mechanic. E: also, while it probably would put most Goons off, there is another nice thing. Each of the levels has an alt j-pop type theme by that support character that you get to hear when you hit a certain number of points. The ice thing is that if you get a much higher number of points you get the ability to make an accessory that forces the song that plays in any given level to the one you want instead, an accessory that takes up your defensive accessory slot, which, if you've gotten one of these accessories already is pretty much dead weight to you anyways, as getting hit at any time zeroes your score.

Dude could take down an entire better-equipped army even before he was a robotic sin against god, but he just has no idea how to strategize or delegate tasks. I'm not entirely sure if he even actually has subordinates. Pillars of Eternity: In the year of our lord 2015 has finally made tanks useful in "real time with pause" gameplay. Any melee character is able to "engage" a certain number of enemies at which point they have to fight that character or get crazy attack bonuses against them while they disengage (rogues and the like obviously get some tricks to disengage at-will). Also: you can't clip through other characters and the maps give you enough choke points to exploit the poo poo out the previous fact. I've yet to find a single situation where a shield wall keeping the enemy in-check for my arquebusiers to pump volleys into them isn't foolproof.

A huge part of tanks being useless in games like that is them being partially to entirely based on DnD rules, which only recently tried to have mechanics to allow for tanking. Then the fanbase screeched enough to change it back. Basically this is amazing and I can't wait to play this goddamn game.

You don't even need more than one tank - Eder suited up can literally hold 3-6 enemies all at once on his own without his endurance going down, taking any sort of hit or letting any pass. Throw a barbarian or suited up cleric behind him (or at the other side of the group if you're getting flanked) and just forget about him. I've literally had my entire party get wiped out, endurance and health wise, and it still takes a good 2-5 minutes for him to get finished off. He is the tankiest tank I have ever had in a party and I love this game for it. He can't hit anything worth a poo poo, his damage is crap and he's useless other than waddling in and standing there.

This may also be caused by a bug that causes follower stats to inflate if you save and load your game in the area you recruit them in, mind. It makes Edér practically invincible real fast. There are a couple of bad bugs like that but like I said in the game's thread, massive games like this will always have something slip through the cracks so I don't really buy into the "Obsidian game" jokes this time around, for the most part it works real smooth.

Combat moves too fast even with the pausing and the log to figure out what the gently caress happened at times. I love the sheer variety of spells you can play with, even at low levels. Really lets me experiment, which is nice after the D&D based games where everything but direct damage spells are kinda useless. Also, casting the flame beam thing, then running circles around the enemy group is funny.

Combat moves too fast even with the pausing and the log to figure out what the gently caress happened at times. The combat log is useful and you should expand it to be taller than it is, really. Also a lot of the auto-pause options should be on. 'Enemy spotted' and 'combat started' are good ones, as might be 'trap spotted'. 'Endurance low' is good for knowing what the hell just hit you, as is 'ally downed'. 'Enemy downed' lets you immediately retarget as soon as you kill one target. I don't currently have it on but I think there's also 'enemy spell starting' which lets you know to get the hell out of an AoE.
