Speedball posted:I need to start this game over and see what happens if I choose different powers first. Reviving corpses as phantoms to fight on your side could be pretty neat. There seems to be several big things that you can do to change the plot so I'm figuring that I'll hit up some of the more unusual powers on my second run through. I know I'm missing stuff, so it will be interesting I certainly want to double back on a harder difficulty next time. Four hours in and I'm breezing through pretty handily except when I get ambushed. Granted, I'm a save-scumming wimp so that's not too surprising, but still.

I'm glad the wrench (at least when you're not specc'd to it) starts to suck really bad later on compared to Bioshock's Wrench of God

It's fairly cheap for a psi power and shuts them down for a while. vvvvv I just wish it could stick to itself, having only one poof thick platform is rough sometimes.

I was thinking of grabbing this today: are the PS4 controls still jacked? If so, does the Xbone version run fine? I don't have a pc capable of running this.

Probably one of the many bugs they'll fix in an upcoming patch. I've played some more and goddamn is the game amazing. I never knew how much I wanted to actually fly outside of a space station. Dead Space 2 sort of did it, but it may as well have been a glorified corridor.

(<1 hour in spoiler) The effect when you break the glass in the intro is so cool. Seriously one of the most impressive little things I've seen in a game in awhile. I love that you can break that kind of glass anywhere and just look through a hole in the world. Bravo on that. Is there a way to rotate objects in the inventory? These vertical psi hypos are ruining my feng shui

So is the thing the devs said they programmed in that somebody could do in weeks or months EVAing to earth with your jetpack and infinite oxygen supplies? Haven't finished the game or even tried EVAing far but it's the only plausible thing that sounds like it could take that long even with thousands of nerds trying stuff in your game

Regarding the spoiler, and my additional observations: The glass shattering was like a culminating point to something that ended up working really well, though it may have felt slightly underwhelming at the time. I mean, I was sitting in the helicopter and looking around at the landscape. I had mixed feelings about it - it looked nice, but also somewhat fake. Imagine my surprise when I was right, and that it was fake! Extra props to the dev team for creating a real set that makes sense, you can go through all the moving parts and see how they fooled you.

Hooray, just finished my first run! Very happy overall, but not sure how I feel about the ending: on the one hand it's nice that the devs actually payed attention to your decisions, that felt really good, on the other hand I'm not really sure where the series could go from here. Welp, time for my Typhon-only Gendocide Run

Still, it's cool that the devs wanted to experiment and go beyond just plot-gating everything.

Why do I find myself getting attached to characters I know are already dead? Sorry about your girlfriend, Danielle Sho  This game is good and fun and everyone should buy it. It also stays around 130-140 fps at 1440p pretty consistently on a 1080ti

Holy poo poo, spoilers for the cafeteria sidequest in the Crew Quarters. So I thought it was really weird that the "chef" didn't recognise Yu at all, then when I went to his cabin, there are emails from the chef talking about how he wants to thank Yu for the mods to the cooking bot and stuff and when you find transcribes from him, his face looks nothing like the chef who gave you the quest (this I chalked up to the fact that alot of the dudes don't look like their portraits). Unfortunately, I thought he didn't recognise me because of all the memory shenanigans. Then the thing happened and now I have a whole other chunk of quest to do, really awesome that the game gives you the clues and you can act on them if you put them together (I am assuming the game reacts if you do so and the subsequent quest would be different). All of the little quests like that are really good as well, you can find entire chunks of levels that I assume are completely missable and the rewards are pretty good like neuromods or suit/scope upgrades, I got one that makes me do way more damage to enemies I've marked and combined with my upgraded shotty I am one shotting even the elemental phantoms.

Regarding nueromod plans: A bunch of people said its hard to find and you really have ot follow a series of nonsense. But actually Alex gives you a safe code during the mission where you get the typhon upgrades and right inside dr kelstrup's office.

I just got the looking glass thing up and running and finished the video. I'm anxious as to when I get alien powers? I feel I need them since the gloo gun does gently caress all versus phantoms and pistols just can't trade blows with them, I'm getting my rear end kicked.

I feel I need them since the gloo gun does gently caress all versus phantoms and pistols just can't trade blows with them, I'm getting my rear end kicked. Also, some tips: The Gloo gun actually isn't too bad against Phantoms if you ambush them, but try using the environment. The Stun Gun gives you a decent window of time to take them out, but explosive barrels do a number on them. There's a shotgun available in the security office, which hits a lot harder than the pistol. Finally, Leverage lets you toss large objects at things and they loving hurt. A L3 object seems to take almost half of the Phantom's health off in one go. Guns are seeming largely superfluous at this point. And I haven't needed to use it, but the Q-Beam should be pretty decent against them, right? If you've gotten the Looking Glass repaired, you should have picked up the Beam.

If you mainline the main story/quest then it'd be like 20/30 minutes from there, maybe less. You can also get a shotgun pretty soon. I think phantoms are supposed to feel like you're expending a shitload to kill them early on but you start feeling more even a bit later.

This station is so huge. I'm overwhelmed because I want to explore every area. I don't know if doing quests in a certain order will drive me toward an ending so I'm just kind of exploring everywhere. Whoever compared this to open world is right. Once the airlocks start opening up it feels less like a hub with different areas and just one big interconnected ship. I thought it was Mario 64, it's more like a metroidvania.

Bethesda doesn't send out review copies in advance any more. Seems like a bad idea if your game is actually good. But then again, as hot as most games come in these days maybe it's actually better this way than getting lower scores on pre-day1-patch review versions? And who knows if first-week sales are still the be all end all they once were, seems like publishers/devs are getting more and more on board with the idea of having a longer tail on their games. Time will tell.

There aren't any reviews (except for a couple of the "in-progress" type) because everyone's still playing the game. gently caress beat

So it seems like the early sequence break is probably go to Hardware Labs before office. Run to Airlock/EVA. Spacewalk to Power Plant Hull Breach and go through Power Plant to GUTS, then from GUTS to Psion. At work, so can't check it, but seems sound. Only problems I can think of are A. Is Hardware Labs unlocked before you go to Office. B. Can you properly get through Power Plant/GUTS/Psion through that breach or not. Not sure what you'd gain from it of course, but interesting idea.

this game is so good so far. Enjoying just about everything about it. I played for a few hours on normal but just turned it up to hard, since it felt like I was getting too many items. So far it feels a bit better on hard. More reason to think carefully but still no bullshit.
