On the topic of video games, I've been watching a really great tutorial series on Europa Universalis 4 where a veteran player plays co-op (sorta) with a newer one and explains as they go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-9ZE9UZUF0 Great if you, like me, find Paradox games daunting as hell. It's also kind of hilarious that a tutorial series is 40 hours long.

If you're actually offended by someone using "females" to describe one of the genders of characters in a game, perhaps you're looking at the wrong place for the person being a baby.

A Bag of Milk posted:XCOM2 - when is the best time to install/play the dlc? Enable the story missions for the Alien Rulers, it'll let you trigger them when you want as otherwise they'll show up without warning. I'd probably do the first mission once you have the first squad size upgrade since 4 dudes in conventional+Bradford have a fun and tough fight. Wait for Mag weapons if you have a harder time with the game, Rulers play by different rules and you have to play differently to beat them which is why the DLC is divisive. Shen's Last Gift has a good, but tough, story mission. Probably want either both squad size upgrades or Mag weapons. Also bring a Grenadier with Shredder. Sharpshooters are basically deadweight on the mission as well so maybe avoid them. This is all going to be changing with the new Expansion once its released as we know its modifying how the DLCs work.

Thanks for the info. I have all the plasma weapons already, so I'll just adjust the difficulty as needed, although I've heard the jump from Veteran to Commander is daunting. And once again I choose to play an older game just before a major update I didn't know about..

Zore posted:Sharpshooters are basically deadweight on the mission as well so maybe avoid them. This is sort of true, unless you get your hands on the Anti-Robot ammo mod, and you have a pistol specced sharpshooter. Because the ammo mod adds a flat damage value to every pistol shot, and your sharpshooter can shoot 3+ times per turn, they can put out an absolutely staggering amount of damage against robots.

I feel like this was asked before but I can't find it; In Nier Automata, are sidequests like the original Nier where I'm better off not doing like 80% of them and they're a huge waste of time for the most part or should I be doing them?

Yes, do the sidequests. The reason so many sidequests weren't worth it in Nier was that you had to gather components, often from unreasonably random drops. Automata does away with that entirely to the point of spawning enemies that are guaranteed to drop the required items in the few quests that still have you gather stuff. e: I even answered this last time it was asked  There's one sidequest that involves racing that I couldn't be arsed to do, and another that requires you to encounter every enemy type which is a lot of hoping for rare spawns, apart from those two I think I did them all.

The only other thing cash is really good for is buying cars, (and clothes I guess but mweh) which is actually sort of cool, I can't remember if you have to unlock it or you just have an app for it, but once you've bought a car, you can have your lackeys "deliver" it, which basically means the car loads somewhere off screen nearby and you get a blip on your map for it. It seems kinda dumb at first because there are always infinite cars everywhere, but it's nice to be able to find a car you actually like that is fast and then just have it whenever you want to do any amount of real driving.

Pretty much. It's good to buy weapons you might want or new clothes, but other than that it's mostly useless.

You're not wrong. Pick up anything that is along the way and easy to get to and it's basically enough. I bought a motorcycle and an MRAP from the car store, tons of clothes and a lot of the guns and I never really needed to go out of my way to get cash except when getting the Drone.

Automata does away with that entirely to the point of spawning enemies that are guaranteed to drop the required items in the few quests that still have you gather stuff. I think I was the last person to ask that question and yeah, the sidequests are good, this is good advice. There's only one or two "gently caress you, we're cavia" quests but it's pretty obvious when you pick them up which ones they are. The "find all enemy types" is one, I can't remember any others. Anyway, pick them up at the very least, most are worth doing. The only other caveat is that occasionally a sidequest will send you up against an enemy that's way too high level for you to be fighting right now. The one where you have to escort a parade is pretty hard when you first find it, and there's one called, I think, Lord of the Valley that sends you against a level 50 enemy when you're maybe like 20-something. So don't be afraid to say "well gently caress this" and come back and try it later on when you're higher level. It's nowhere near original Nier levels of "gently caress you" though. They learned.

Before playing Overwatch you should know that you can always see where your teammates are (roughly) even through walls, represented by blue blips on your HUD if they have full health and orange if they've taken damage. What isn't made super clear early on is that you should REALLY only attack in a group. So if you spawn and don't see any blue blips ahead of you (or only one or two that are turning orange) it might be a good idea to wait for some teammates, because if you run in you're likely to just explode.

PMush Perfect posted:How about a classic nostalgia trip in Diablo 2? If you just want to beat Diablo (or the end boss of the expansion pack) once, play however you like, but try to put as many points into one or two skills. Don't diversify, but pay attention to synergies. If you want to reach maximum level or even go deep into higher difficulties, set collecting or the ultra-rare bosses, there's a boat load of advice to be had. Most of that boils down to: research your class of choice ahead of time and find a viable build. Pay special attention to stat and skill point distribution (typically you spend the former and save the latter to get higher ranks in skills deeper down the skill tree around the medium level range). If this is your first character, make sure to not pick something heavily dependent on one or two rare pieces of gear (old-school poison-mancer comes to mind). If you are in for the long haul, boost yourself some sort of farming build of the Sorceress as your default farming character and learn how to safely move items between your characters. Granted, I haven't touched D2 in 5+ years, but the last major patches are even older and before then I spend a thousand plus hours on it. If you want to go hard, definitely do your research though, as you can't respec your chars. Also, if you're into perma death game concepts, try to beat the campaign using a hardcore character.

Fat Samurai posted:Anything I should know about Tides of Numenera? The Wiki is sparse. Been a while but still think it's worth noting: It's probably not a big deal what skills you pick in character creation, but if you get decision paralysis, anamnesis is by far the most useful skill early on.

I immediately went from getting exploded every seven seconds to being able to live long enough to actually help accomplish the goal, and all I did was stick with the group.
