anilEhilated posted:Anything for Killing Floor 2? -Headshots are important. Not only do they do way more damage, once you've shot the head off an enemy you'll also disable their special abilities. Gorefasts won't be able to sprint, Sirens can't scream, Husk's can't shoot, etc. etc. -The Siren's scream will destroy any grenades and other explosives within its area of effect, so they won't explode. -The Berserker's EMP grenade doesn't do all that much damage, but temporarily keeps enemies from using their special abilities. -If you use your healing shot on another player, it'll recharge much faster than when you use it on yourself. So try to heal each other whenever feasible. -When dualwielding pistols, the secondary attack button allows you to switch between two different styles of ironsighting for them. -When you die, you'll drop the weapon you're currently holding. Try to make sure it's your most expensive one, so that another player can pick it up and give it back to you once you respawn. -If you're just a few bucks short of the next weapon, consider asking for a bit of money. People tend to be quite willing to help each other out. Conversely, help them out when you've some to spare. -You're by no means limited to just the weapons associated with the class you're playing. Several classes can do qzuite well with another's weapons in addition to their own. Bringing a medic pistol is almost always a good idea, and the gunslinger's pistols can make for powerful yet lightweigt backup weapons. -Consider moving up to Hard difficulty pretty early as soon as you've found your footing. It offers an actual challenge and gives way more XP, and if you're careful you don't really need any levels to be effective.

Answering your many questions and detailing how to play the various parts of the game are going to require pages of posts that nobody else cares about. There's a loving huge E:D thread why don't you just go read the OP and post questions in it? http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3741690 Look at what a wonderful OP that is

Pierzak posted:About to start Age of Decadence, anything I should know? Seconding this. I've tried to play that game a few times, and each time I find that I am unable to talk or fight my way out of a paper bag. Just when I think I have the right skill requirement to win a dialogue, the game throws another skill check at me requiring a different skill I've never touched, and I end up in an unwinnable fight. Short of save-scumming or using a guide, is there some strategy I'm missing?

Answering your many questions and detailing how to play the various parts of the game are going to require pages of posts that nobody else cares about. After playing the game for a dozen hours or so, there is some transparently obvious stuff that new players should know that isn't in the OP of that thread, you massive fart. Most of these are combat related tips, but combat is fun and profitable so Buy a fuel scoop with your money first. Running out of fuel means you die. Don't run out of fuel. If and when you can, buy an interdiction module. These will make it easy for you to do the assassination missions, so you don't spend an hour roaming around at 300*c confused as gently caress. Don't be afraid of combat. Even using an Xbox360 controller and whatever the second cheapest gimbled multicannons are, I was able to take out any NPC I rolled up on that had a wanted level. I assume this will change soon but right now I'm rolling in cash. I've even taken on some players in PVP and won which for me is like some kind of celestial message from the gods of an impending visitation, or the people who play this are relatively bad at space shoots. Don't bother doing emergency stops. You won't be anywhere near where you want to be, and you take damage. Watch this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suYDjhdd7O4

Anything that not on the wiki for Xenoblade Chronicles X that's not on the wiki? Speaking of which, I did find one tip on another site: Make sure you bring Gwin on missions and get his affinity up to at least one heart, because it's a requirement for one of the endgame story missions.

This is helpful if you're agonizing over not 5-starring every wingsuit challenge right away, for example.

Evil Mastermind posted:Anything that not on the wiki for Xenoblade Chronicles X that's not on the wiki? It's very easy to raise affinity to one Heart, and there are a lot of side-missions in the game. So, so very many side missions  .As for advice; The top line of classes is your basic tanky classline and a good starting point. It makes you very hard to kill with Defensive Stance (or a glass cannon with Offensive Stance) and does a pretty decent amount of damage. Winged Viper's much more situational in its damage, and can get tricky if you don't have someone else who can hold aggro in your party. You get your first Skell with your Skell License after Chapter 6. You'll notice that it's a Level 20 Frame while the store-sold ones are Level 30. Ditch it the moment you clear that level threshold. Your first purchased Skell should be the Amdusias. The E-Scythe it comes with does an obscene amount of damage from behind, and the Skell itself is a literal melee tank. Skells come with a limited number of Skell Insurance tickets for when it's destroyed. First three times it happens, it's covered. After that, you pay out of pocket. However, if you can hit Perfect on the QTE when your Skell's destroyed, you won't have to pay. This only works so long as you still have at least one Skell Insurance ticket left, however, as the game code simply doesn't deduct an insurance ticket rather than anything smarter. Your party members will always hit a Perfect on the Skell Eject QTE, so as long as their Skells have at least one insurance ticket you'll never have to cover their losses. When the time comes to pick a BLADE Division, just pick Pathfinder. The gains outstrip any other division's by a wide margin, simply because the actions used to score points for them are much more common. It'll mean you can get a Skell Salvage Ticket each day, which lets you recover a destroyed Skell without coughing up 70% of the Skell's cost to restore it. Don't pay to refuel your Skells if you're about to quit the game - it keeps passively refueling while you aren't playing, so if you quit for the night and come back in the morning you will have a full set of tanks across all your party's Skells.

The cyclone effect is more trouble than helpful. Also, dont upgrade your stamina. You can get infinite sprint by doing Keith David's side-missions right at the start of the game.

the sprint upgrade that sends poo poo flying makes mayhem missions a complete joke, though, so it's good for those. Too bad you can't toggle it.

Poison Mushroom posted:The steam sale kicked my rear end. Anything for Eldritch, Grim Fandango, Titan Souls, or Saint's Row 4? Grim Fandango: This is a really fun game and you'll enjoy it a lot if you like offbeat humor. Still, I recommend you play it with a solution guide open. Some, nay, a LOT of the puzzles do not have a common-sense path from the start to the finish. Saint's Row 4 It's a lot of fun, but don't expect anything deep. You'll probably bang through it once and delete it. Unless you grind grind grind, you won't be able to upgrade anywhere near all the weapons. Don't worry about it. You can, however, unlock all the skills. Some blue orbs can't be gotten without some blasts. Gliding is great, upgrade it first. Personally I thought the vehicles were blah and only used them when I had to. The zappy powers are all fun, but all you really need is the fire blast. IIRC, success in insurance fraud is based on the amount of time you spend ragdolling. Try to get knocked into the air. When the game tells you to defend something, the AI is actually pretty lackadaisical about attacking it. Duck behind cover whenever you need a break.

If you want the tank controls achievement, you have to switch the control scheme before you start the game.

Dyz posted:Any advice to keep myself sane while I play System Shock: Enhanced Edition? How far (and in what direction) items are thrown depends on how far and where you move the mouse while holding the item as you throw it. If you just click to throw a grenade and click again on the screen while holding it you'll limply throw it at your feet. Try and find and shut down the cyborg conversion chambers as soon as possible, once you've done this dying only sets you back in terms of having to backtrack to where you got killed. I always had energy weapons on the highest setting, you can take fewer shots but the higher damage always seemed worth it. Using beserk patches is supposed to do that, don't worry.

Nohman posted:Also Shadow of Mordor: GOTY? It kind of barfs a ton of DLC. Is some of it broken cheat items or garbage I should uninstall? One of the DLC runes for the sword unlocks its final ability (as long as it's actively equipped). It's a really good ability that might serve you well as an anti-frustration feature. Another is the DLC dagger rune that prevents poison. None of the DLC runes are "broken" really but there are some better epic runes you may eventually come across. If anything they may spare you from grinding epic runes which is a good thing. I'd wait until you're finished the main game to play either expansion. In particular the Bright Lord is both spoilery and also a fair bit more difficult than the base game. Most importantly, mainline the main quest until you are about 11 or 12 missions (i.e. halfway through) because the story-unlocked powers make the game and sidequests much more fun.

Deltasquid posted:I just picked up Jade Empire. Any tips and/or necessary mods? There's an entry on the wiki with a lot of good tips. As far as I remember it's a quintessential BioWare RPG, so there won't be too many gotcha moments if you've played literally any other game in that family. The only Jade Empire mod worth mentioning is Jade Empire in Style, which adds a bunch of techniques but also messes with some of the vanilla ones.

Kind of a specific question but does Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered fix the issue the original had where like 99% of controllers wouldn't recognize the second stick? That game was almost unplayable kb+m but my current PC game pads didn't seem to work with the original (which I had played in like 2005 with a really old Logitech dual stick that worked fine but has since died).

(they call it something different but like every Bioware game it boils down to being a goody two-shoes or kicking babies) Talk to your companions. In particular, talk to the wacky inventor and don't finish the Imperial city until you've gone to the secret place. Weapons are decent but skippable. You can get an awesome weapon by beating John Cleese. Transformation styles are blah except for Jade Golem, which is hilariously overpowered. Support styles suck.

Kenny Logins posted:I just bought the GOTY a few weeks ago and finished last week so it's all fresh to me. Poison is annoying as hell so I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting that rune on hand to deal with a particularly frustrating poisonous captain. My nemesis was a poison javelin dude who would jump into a fight I had already started, and he killed me probably 10-12 times before I used that rune.

Yeah, I thought I'd try and play the game as vanilla as possible and purposefully not equip any of the DLC runes. Then I met a poisonous captain and I was immediately like "gently caress that poo poo" and geared up.Kenny Logins posted:Most importantly, mainline the main quest until you are about 11 or 12 missions (i.e. halfway through) because the story-unlocked powers make the game and sidequests much more fun.

Neddy Seagoon posted:It's very easy to raise affinity to one Heart, and there are a lot of side-missions in the game. These are all good points. Especially the one about the Amdusias. I am still using it at level 53 while saving up for level 50 skells and the E-scythe can reliably take off 50 or so percent from a level 55 mid-sized indigen. A few more: Skells have different overdrives depending on model. The name of the overdrive is what pops up in the center bottomish of the screen when you activate it. The effects of the overdrive are visible as text to the left and right of the name for a very brief period of time. There is a whole system behind the overdrive that isn't really explained in-game. It might by in the manual but I looked it up on the web. Take a lap around NLA every so often. Things to keep an eye out for as you kangaroo around the districts that change every so often. New affinity mission markers (though most of these gets added to the map automatically). New missions (orange question mark on minimap). Yellow speech bubbles (points to new missions and points of interest in the world (gets added to map with a "new" tag on the relevant segment)) Off-duty party members (heart-to-hearts) if your affinity is high enough. If an affinity mission has a party member cap below 4, it's something you should prioritize doing. EDIT: I should've checked the wiki before I wrote this. I edited out the bits that was already covered on the wiki. Foxhound fucked around with this message at 11:25 on Dec 28, 2015 |
