They are side characters at best and don't matter not the same popola and devola either, just identical models

So.. Is that weird interface/hud flickering on movement intentional?

I get a weird flicker on subs and the hud elements only. It annoys me a lot

Its not even all hud or text. It looks like a shite video effect

Anyone got an idea? Get it on all resolutions and display modes

Edit: Was my TV settings, fixed it.

I accidentally stumbled into cheese for that fight. They won't pass the river on the west part of that zone so they'll just sit there shooting rocks at you while you fire arrows back. I did that for 10 minutes to beat it. I found this out while fighting some snapjaws and crabs near the river and then had the rock dudes just aggro me out of nowhere.

Yeah A LOT of enemies can be cheesed using this method; they also have set aggro zones it seems so if you sit on the border line they'll just range attack you and turn away often.

I think I had one brave crab cross a river once then he go confused and his aggro reset.

Man, I'm trying to do the Corrupted Zone with two Rockbreakers in it and it's loving Get Wrecked city with zero-tell instant kill attacks every five seconds and zero chance of pulling one by itself

Weird I just stumbled across it and both times I attempted I only pulled one at a time. I wonder what we did differently.

It was definitely super tough but what is their instant kill attack? Are you on Very Hard?

Rockbreaker tips: Shooting their hands off with tearblast makes it so they can't go underground. If they are underground, they track you by sound and will lose you if you sneak. While they can burst through smaller rocks and boulders, larger ground that is purely rock will block them, so you if you can run to it you can shoot them from a distance freely. Once their burrowing paws are gone they're a lot more helpless.

Also if you pick up Uncharted 4 don't neglect the multiplayer, it's been given many free updates and is really good (not that it was bad at launch). Check out the thread for a bunch of goons to play with (including me, "zerodrone")

e: also definitely definitely get Journey if you didn't have a PS3 and Furi if you like boss rush games

I forget the names but there are a handful of mods that improve the frame rate by getting rid of some miscellaneous objects and God rays and such. Seemed to work pretty well especially in the Far Harbor DLC.

I think we can confidently say it'll be a Bioware game. If you liked Inquisition, it seems likely Andromeda will be your thing. The MP will kick rear end though.

I liked Inquisition, and the poster asking about Andromeda said s/he did too.

Anyone who didn't like Inquisition should definitely wait on reviews or a demo before buying Andromeda.

playing nier right now. you gotta clear the first mission with no deaths to save the game and avoid restarting from the intro cinematic so i'm gonna have to go to bed instead of making progress tonight or i'll just get salty and tired.

feels great on high difficulty though

I'm surprised by Ghost Recon's reviews so far. 84 on Metacritic. I never would've kept my pre-order after the betas if it wasn't for this discount:

The concern with ME: Andromeda is it lost its writer and some of its general creative talent in the middle of its development (over creative differences I think?). That is neither a good time for it to happen or a good sign for a bigass story-driven RPG.

Man, Yakuza is great, I wasn't sold for the first couple of hours due to how story heavy a game it is but its tone is what keeps me coming back.

The only thing I'm kinda lost on is wether the humour is a part of the translation or the original intention, either way its hilarious :D
