RabbitWizard posted:I thought the romance stuff was totally useless so i never searched for a waifu. That's what you get for playing blind. Will I get a bonus for never sticking my dick in anything and instead saving the Galaxy? Yeah, you don't have to lose anyone. All you have to do is make sure everyone is loyal (by doing their respective loyalty mission) and don't send anyone to do a special thing who isn't suited for the task. Like the Tech Experts are like: Tali, Legion and someone else. Send one of them to hack the vents. Use Jacob or Miranda to lead the 2nd fire team, and use Samara or Jack to hold off the swarms with biotics. If everyone's loyal and you do that - you won't lose anyone. Otherwise, if you send the wrong expert to do the Thing, they will die. Or, whoever is unloyal will die at each phase (so 2 ppl? 3? I forget how man checkpoints).

There's a really stupid thing where they were misleading/unclear about how dangerous sending Normandy survivors back to the ship is and instead of sending someone strong back you need to basically send Mordin because otherwise he will die. Even though you do everything right and even though you have everyone's loyalty. The stupidest part is he doesn't even get a death scene, he just dies off screen and everyone goes "yup, he's dead."

Someone like Garrus or Grunt will never die, but Jack and Mordin have the highest chances of biting it and you have nothing to do about it other than sending one of them back with the survivors or taking them into the final boss chamber.

Yeah my first play through I thought everyone made it out okay until suddenly there was a random coffin in a cutscene at a RIP Mordin message in the credits just because I took Grunt with me to fight the boss and it hosed up the numbers.

I had everybody loyal; but Thane was my loving go-to man so I used him on one of the tasks and apparently he wasn't cut out for it or whatever so he died. gently caress you bioware  Thane could do anything he loving wanted.

For those in the dark, Zaeed is a character whose war stories always end "and I was the only one to make it out alive." You're given the option to select one of your characters to lead a team at the end and tons of people apparently thought it was a good idea to pick him to do it over someone who, you know, hasn't gotten all of his comrades killed over and over.

The thing that killed Mordin for me was because I sent Grunt back to the ship with the Normandy survivors because hey, going back through the Collector station sounds pretty dangerous, except its not.

^ I guess I could see Legion fighting, but Tali's whole thing is being a tech genius, hell one of her attacks is creating a little robo buddy to help her, she's another obvious choice to go into the vents over fighting.CowboyKid posted:I wouldn't ask Tali or Legion to either. Legion is literally a robot though who, as I recall right, can call upon the collective technical knowledge of every single other Geth in existence. He seems like a pretty clear cut choice over a doctor. That's like saying you see a brain surgeon operating his laptop, obviously he knows how to work advanced tech!

As a call center agent who does computer and television tech support, I've talked to some doctors who were really computer dumb. Science and medical smartness does not equal tech smartness.

My only regret is that I can't have a legion of Legions, and just send Legion on every role. Probably my favorite AI character from any sci-fi, which is saying something.

For the record, I absolutely love Chroma Squad, a Senti/PR simulator. However, there's one thing that bugs me about it, and that's how the item system is handled. Items you buy from the store have fixed properties, whereas ones you craft have random properties. This leads to times when you're going back and forth through menus in order to figure out which is ultimately better. It's made worse when some of the traits/abilities you can craft don't show up on the better-or-worse popup.

Someone like Garrus or Grunt will never die, but Jack and Mordin have the highest chances of biting it and you have nothing to do about it other than sending one of them back with the survivors or taking them into the final boss chamber. And it's based on how many people there are in that final sequence. I had no one but Zaeed holding the line in my intentional gently caress up run because I totally expected him to die, and not only does he live but he pulls my rear end into the ship during the escape. He can hold off an entire army by himself so long as he doesn't have to look out for anyone, but if he does, they're probably toast. Ironically, if you make him the leader in the fire team, he's the only one to die. Mr "I'm the only one who lived" Zaeed finally takes one for the team. marshmallow creep has a new favorite as of 22:53 on May 5, 2015 |

Bloodborne- -For some reason you have to manually compare stats of equipment in the shop against what you're wearing because apparently it's 1992. -For the most part, the chalice dungeons offer rewards for opening up more chalice dungeons. It never really felt "worth it" except to squeeze a bit more gameplay out, and in my experience the "randomly generated" setpiece arrangement really takes away from the experience. It doesn't help that they threw a pile of exclusive bosses/content into it. -There was a lack of weapon/build diversity. Save for a select few choice weapons, many were just strictly inferior to others. (Looking at you, stake driver/tonitrius.) -The armor choices available are for the most part cosmetic, with underlying "Play dress-up to make people happy with you" mechanics. This isn't mentioned anywhere in game. -"Oh, another four-legged boss, I wonder if the safest place is between its legs." -Whyyyyy did they make playing with friends such a trial?! -Kind of an abrupt conclusion in my opinion, though all of the Souls games have kind of done this "you are a part of something grand, piece it together" thing. I definitely enjoyed the game and the art design/aesthetics of the universe knocked it out of the park, but, yeah.
