So many of the points of interest on the map in the Witcher 3 just aren't important though, so you might was well look into them while doing quests, as opposed to exploring fully then starting to do quests. It could possibly be shortened to "If you start to or don't want to feel bored or burnt out exploring question marks on the map, do the quests, they are fun and have dialogue and context."

I played witcher 3 by turning off the question marks on the mini map and it made for a much better experience imo

Does anyone have anything for Diablo 3 on PS4, please? I finally got around to getting it on sale yesterday and I've never played it before. I did play a load of D2 back in the day so I'm familiar with the concept. Or is it just as simple as "kill everything, make numbers go up"?

I think this is the best approach, because it lowers the chances of you accidentally heading to a ? that you're too low level for, which means you'll inevitably forget to go back and do it when you're appropriately leveled, because it's no longer a ? on the map. Not that that happened to me or anything

Normal mode really is bafflingly easy. Playing through the story once is worthwhile though, you just need to start at hard and bump the difficulty up every Act or two. I think Adventure Mode is unlocked by finishing Act 5. That's where the real game begins, how long you spend on the treadmill is up to you.

I'll third the "play on at least hard" advice. I'm a babby who plays everything on easy, and even for me, D3 on normal is so easy it's boring. Also you get, I think, a 75% XP boost when you jump to hard? So playing on normal is both boring AND slow. Don't do it, except for maybe the extremely early levels where you're a naked baby with no powers and the occasional enemy might actually be able to kill you on hard.

Even with your garbage starter gear, Hard is not really harder than Normal. There's no situation where you shouldn't be playing on at least Hard, even in Hardcore. On that note, when you first go into Adventure mode at level 1, go to town and talk to one of your mercenaries and steal their weapon. It'll boost your level 1 damage a ton.

I had only played about 20 minutes on normal so I took the advice from here and restarted on hard. I'm playing on the regular campaign first just to chill out and see the story, but I'll take everyone's advice into account when I start adventure mode later. Thanks!

AlMac posted:Does anyone have anything for Diablo 3 on PS4, please? Until you hit the level cap, you're pretty good just picking whatever equipment gives the biggest increase to your DPS. Don't bother crafting any equipment unless you're way past the level of whatever's in that equipment slot. Pick whatever skills you're having fun with; you don't have to worry about builds too much until you're in the Torment difficulties. If enemies are taking too long to kill, lower the difficulty. If they're too easy and you aren't gaining levels fast enough, raise the difficulty. Twitch fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Apr 29, 2017 |

As a personal rule, I start melee characters and Wizard on Hard, while DH and WD start on normal until I can slap some legacy legendary equipment on them and then immediately go to Hard. Playing on Normal is purely a waste of time in every other case (besides character #1, act 1, level 1). EDIT: combat roll is your friend and it is console exclusive so you may as well make the most of it. It's not like Dark Souls where rolling gives you invincibility frames, but it does boost your evasion for a second, and more importantly will stop you from getting gank-squad'd by melee mobs. im cute fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Apr 29, 2017 |

Ainsley McTree posted:Anything for Ghost Recon: Wildlands? The HTI heavy sniper can take down generators and jammers. Don't bother upgrading the noise level of the drone or the time you can stay alive when downed, carry capacity for most special grenades isn't much worth either since you can restock everywhere. Nightvision is sadly superior to thermal, since thermal is only a cheap post-shader and doesn't let you look through foliage for example. Try to get an underbarrel grenade launcher early, since it is the fastest way to take down helicopters and vehicles. Be careful with mines, usually it's a civilian who will trigger it. The last two difficulties are the only ones worthwhile. The hardest mode removes some helping features, most notable the orange areas on the map for hostiles that aren't spotted. Silencers are not 100% silent. If you fire close to an enemy, they will still hear it. Try to get a few good weapons such as the Tar21 or the L85A2 early, the inventory tells you where to find them. Watch out for Unidad, they spawn infinitive once you're entering "hunted" mode unless you can escape. special tip: mute every voice audio to avoid brain damage. You can also skip every cutscene and make up your own dialogue when interrogating. That way the game is much more fun.

Anything for Sniper Elite 4? Meanwhile, for Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 I have some advice: The Knight 101 semi-automatic sniper rifle with a silencer will be your bread and butter from the moment you unlock it till the endgame. It's significantly better than just about every other rifle you have available, mostly for the fact that it shoots fast enough to take down a group of two enemies without triggering a base-wide alarm if you're fast on the trigger. Damage is, for the most part, an irrelevant stat for snipers - you'll be killing everyone but armored enemies in one hit, and for them you can use armor piercing or explosive ammo. Armored enemies have a facemask, but the back of their heads are uncovered. One shot there, even with a pistol, will be an instant kill. Unlock the skill that reduces the sound radius of sprinting and walking ASAP - it will essentially allow you to sprint and walk with total impunity. The night and thermal vision goggles are extraordinarily helpful, and nab the NVG/thermal for your drone as soon as possible - makes spotting enemies way easier. Cheat in some resources and ignore all the points of interest on the map. They're completely irrelevant and there's precisely one open world sidequest - kill a group of 3-4 goons around a fire, save some civvies, get like 3000ish trading goods. Not bad money, but by no means worth going out of your way for. The game is a shittier MGSV - the open world is essentially irrelevant and you should spend as little time in it as possible.

Anything essential I should know for Expeditions: Conquistador?

Fruits of the sea posted:Anything essential I should know for Expeditions: Conquistador? It's been a while so my memory of the game isn't perfect, but: The most important thing early on is to pay close attention to the traits of the people you're hiring. It's almost impossible to hire a party whose traits match perfectly, but try your best--having a constantly squabbling party will make the game significantly harder. When picking characters to hire, racist is IMO one of the worst traits--it clashes with both open-minded characters and is going to cause problems with any native characters in your party. Pious characters are not as bad as racist ones, but can also cause problems when dealing with the natives. Narcissistic is also a bad trait to have on more than one character; Narcissistic characters lose morale if anyone gets promoted higher than them, which is guaranteed to happen if you've got more than one. Leadership is probably the most important stat to give your expedition leader, and Diplomacy is important too. If you want to go full-conquest Diplomacy is less a big deal though. It might help if you decide early on how you intend to treat the natives and build your group accordingly, favoring Diplomacy for a peaceful run and Tactics for a conquest run. Getting robbed when you camp is a big threat; always camp off-road and make sure your guard rating is really high. Even then you'll still get robbed while camping occasionally--what you lose is always a percentage of what you're carrying so don't run around carrying tons of valuables all the time if you can avoid it. Also when camping, wound treatment > food preparation > herbalism. Take 2 doctors, so if one of them gets wounded the other can do treatment. There are factional conflicts in the game and while you can sometimes play both sides of the field to a point, there are clear points of no return. Usually those involve direct violence against the other faction so they're reasonably well telegraphed. Lastly, though the temptation is there and there's always more to buy, try not to spend too many of your valuables if you care about having as good an ending as possible. How much loot you bring back to Europe is a big part of your final rating. Theoretically all resources are infinite but the grinding needed to get more is tedious at best.

You guys were not wrong about Diablo 3. I blew through Act 1 on hard with my Wizard and ramped it up to Expert part way though Act 2. I'm still slicing through enemy packs like they aren't even there. The Wizard beam mechanics are extremely satisfying. I feel like one of the tripods from War of the Worlds.

Quick tip for Persona 5: - Almost all of the text messages you get will be people asking to hang out or go to dungeons except for the ones from the Moon arcana confidant - he will alert you to new quests to pursue, and you have to read these messages before they disappear, or you will lose access to these quests permanently. (this is doubly frustrating because I missed one that gave me access to a book, the last one I needed before reading every book in the game)

Haven't played the game in a couple of years, but: A lot of the same things for Black Flag apply here- namely ship upgrades are invaluable for quality of life while travelling. If you want to do the fleet missions, make it a point to add all of the Man O'Wars and Frigates to your fleet. And no, the main quest won't take you to every single settlement in the game. There'll be a lot of places you'll have to explore in your own time if you go for full synch.

The game makes a hullabaloo about the system for sneaking up on assassins trying to kill you, but iirc, it's also perfectly valid, and often much faster, to just run head first into ambushes and counter attack to take them out before they hurt you. One of the fleet mission rewards is a jaunty captain's outfit, and I think the one you get for completing all of them (which I wasn't able to do before finishing the game) is an even jauntier admiral's outfit so you should play that minigame if you enjoy being jaunty. Or, I guess, to rephrase this in the form of an actual tip, if you want the admiral's outfit, make sure to do the fleet missions as often as you can because it is likely you will run out of game content before you finish them otherwise.

Just lore stuff like emails and Abstergo-censored pitches about previous Assassins being turned into Animus Experiences. Iirc, there is a stretch of gameplay near the end where you have to do the 'IRL' hacking minigames though, so it's worth doing some for practice. They're not hard, it's just easier knowing just what you need to do and get it done with.
