chocolateTHUNDER posted:They hosed it up with the first major PS4 patch that hit ~2 weeks after launch. It was smooth before that; luckily I finished the game on the day that big patch hit so I never noticed it. Lots of people complaining on reddit about it though. On the flipside for PC, the most recent patch seems to have actually fixed the FPS absolutely making GBS threads the bed the moment you entered the Power Plant.

I went out to the derelict shuttle, but don't have repair 3 to get in that back door. What is back there? Is it worth it to come back later? Also, I found a satellite floating around that looks like sputnik. Does it do anything?

Why do some stackable items refuse to autostack on my inventory? It's the worst with typhon chunks, but I've had it happen with spare parts and junk as well. I have to click the autosort button frequently to keep it in order. Playing on PC

How do I make a gloo gun bridge? I have encountered one an NPC made, but I can't get a gloo thingy to stick to another gloo thingy. I can only get them to stick to a wall not each other. I want to build a bridge to something up in the air that isn't near any walls, but I can't make it work.

You cannot stick gloo to gloo, so you can't play minecraft I'm afraid

That said, what you can do is build a vertical wall with spaces between that are one Morgan high. Shoot one, jump on it, then aim just above your head and shoot another. Back up while jumping and you'll get the prompt to vault up to it. You can climb any wall this way.

and that is pretty amazing if you think about it. The gloo gun must have been a nightmare to design around, and they did it without even making 90% of the surfaces in the game unglooable.

The only area I can think of that you can't gloo your way up is the Arboretum, which doesn't much matter because the place loses gravity control late in the game anyway.

Pollyanna posted:Going through the game, my impression was that Minerals were by far the most important and least common materials. Food and bio is easy to find and break down, synthetics less so but aren't used as much, and exotics explode if you have the right neuromod installed, but minerals really aren't very common at all yet are constantly used. Is it just me who was always mineral-poor? Use recycling grenades on turrets and operators(there's a bunch of broken operators in hardware labs on the shelves for example, so you can stack them into a nice pile for recycling), that gives a pretty big return of minerals. Haven't found anything like that for synthetics, I only get those by recycling usable items - grenade types I don't use much or extra suit repair kits.

Zereth posted:I'm reminded of Portal 2 having so many surfaces that wouldn't take portals, after that was much rarer in Portal 1. To be fair, that was generally a result of playtesting feedback rather than "we want them to play a single, absolute, specific way  " if you listen to their development commentary.

It doesn't look like a typical glitch as the camera wasn't even facing in that direction. The true ending was just another test of the typhon's final choice. I guess Alex probably died on the station and his image is only there in order to have an actual human to relate to. A few operators with the station's key crew's personalities/knowledge copied onto them is what's left of free humanity. It makes sense as we've seen with the example of January - those operators can be quite motivated in fulfilling their programmed mission to the point of running tests on typhon over and over again. Maybe they were all made and programmed by Morgan with all those parts he requisitioned before he blew up the station so that there's still a backup plan when everybody's dead. It makes sense as why would some of those crew members create operator copies of themselves? Alex wouldn't be able to do that either ad he doesn't have the technical ability to do it. Only Morgan could do that and he had a motivation for it. Palpek fucked around with this message at 11:07 on May 25, 2017 |

Having to constantly fight hordes of operators which each take like 5 shots point blank from my fully upgraded shotgun near what I'm guessing is the end is the first time I've rage quit this game. Does disabling your tracking actually do anything? It sure doesn't seem like it.

I wonder if originally, the Nullwave was used, and we're still on the Talos one, somewhere we haven't seen, or a new construction. But that's only because I assumed it was possible to complete the game as it happened originally, and that might not be the case.

GRINDCORE MEGGIDO posted:Stun gun! Or Q-Beam. Operators are resistant to bullets (pistol and shotgun) because of their metal chassis, but Science! goes right through it. Note that upgrading the Q-beam can make it much more ammo efficient. It always loads 100 cells at a time, extending the firing time means it fires for longer using those same 100 cells.
