overriding is part of her skill tree, you pick up the skills as you go on

also my most reliable way for taking down Glinthawks consisted of tethering them and then beating them to death with a big stick, since actually trying to shoot one down just led to me getting munched on from their more terrestrial helpers

I need like an ultra :doh: emote for BOTH of these very obvious things. I didn't even loving THINK of tethering them down

How on earth do I learn how to override machines beyond the rideable ones and the watchers? Aloy will say something to the effect of "I bet I can override them...

I honestly liked that NPCs thought Aloy was the most badass ever for what she did, unlike Nathan Drake or Lara or Joel who each individually set world records for kills in a couple of days

Closet comparison to Aloy would be snake in the metal gears , honestly. Everyone's like yeah you rule and you're going in solo and that's that

You have to do a dungeon to get more robots unlocked before you can override them. I think they're called Cauldrons?

Yeah. When cauldrons are revealed on the map b-line for them asap doing whatever on the way.

Those curated linear levels are my favorite part of the game. Really well done.

I think the problems were only in the Foundry stage. I found a bunch of people showing they were getting stuck there too. I'm much further in the game and enjoying it without issue.

I must have an id software curse because upon installing the first RAGE on my 360, it gave it the red ring of death. Maybe the tight code murders all my systems. Anyways, I'm enjoying the humour in DOOM.

Should I bother even taking a peak at the multiplayer?

So I just got two power cells. I got the one on top of the skyscraper (thanks thread) and then the other in some room near where the big deactivated spider metal gear robot is. Turns out I still need 3 more. Am I still on track for 3 more in the future or did I miss others? By that I mean, are the two I found so far the first two in the progression order?

Here's a pretty picture I just took

You've missed one, possibly two by this point but the final power cell cannot be obtained until much, much later in the story anyway. If you don't have 5/5 by the time The Mountain That Fell is over, then just look up a guide for the remaining cells. None of the others will take very long to get to with fast travel.

I don't really get why majima has so many weapons and armors, I guess on legendary it matters? It's just odd but it's not like this game doesn't like to have overwhelming variety

Yeah for 3 bux it's not bad and the dlc has a callback to the original movie which was pretty cool. But afaik the DLC is just little survival zones where you get from point A to B. It's not bad DLC but it's not great either. I only played the free ones that came with the day 1 edition.

The game on its own is worth well more than $12 though I'd just say go for the bundle.

The Crew Expendable/Last Survivor DLCs recreate a couple of scenes from the first movie and bring back the original cast, which are really neat if you like the original movie. The other stuff is just challenge rooms if you're hankering for some more Alien sneaking but the main game is pretty long (perhaps to its disservice).

There are multiple versions of Mr. Shakedown for both Kiryu and Majima. You beat one, another one shows up.

I’ll be continuing mine from where I was so I’ll only be lost for like 10 hours lol.

Still deciding though. They’re both somewhat equally important for me to finish so it doesn’t really matter. I’ve been in the mood for both but lately I’m really digging big open rpgs to gently caress around in.

I think what he’s asking about are money gain multipliers. But I’m not sure. It’s definitely not related to the individual Mr Shakedowns, that all goes on the completion screen.

I think it’s tied to the CP shrine?

When you finish quests you get Completion Points, which you can trade in at a shrine to get bonuses like “get more money when you beat up guys”

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
I know the trite advice is gonna be 'Get gud' but I swear the second boss of Nioh (Hino Enma) is just putting me off playing the rest of it.

It's just this ridiculous wall for this point in the game and from what i've read so much of the rest of the game (including new moves and abilities) is gated behind it.

I've watched a few gameplay videos and beating her sounds reasonably simple (bait, dodge, chip away) but i swear all of these videos seem a lot slower than the gameplay i'm experiencing.
