I'm looking at getting back into Shadowrun Returns after burning out after the first mission when it came out. Wiki and forum search haven't given me any luck, so any advice from folks?

Anyone poked at Chroma Squad enough to have some tips. Especially on early email choices, or actor picks? Or totally obvious mechanics I haven't noticed yet.

Yes, this totally screwed me up. Whatever your bash/grenade button is must be held, draining AP for as long as your hold your breath.

Count Chocula posted:I'm going to get Demon's Souls. The wiki entry is pretty barebones and assumes you've never played a Souls game before (since it was the first one, obviously). Anything more detailed for a Souls vet? Don't put down your controller when facing NPCs. Especially with a Sixaxis (as opposed to a Dualshock2). Very very easy to accidentally aggro and/or kill them if your R2 registers, and no way of reverting it that I recall.

Count Chocula posted:Anything for The Swindle? In addition to earlier post , re: the PS4 version : You have to hold the button to keep hacking, including when it asks you to input other buttons. Use the D-pad rather than the stick for hacking things to avoid accidental mispresses, mostly notable on things that blow up. Ghost bonus requirements seem to be 100% of the money and no alarms. Breaking things/guards/usingbombs doesn't affect this?

GhostBoy posted:Sadly I think you are looking at a restart. "Simulate WItcher 2 Save" is the option for people who did not play the other game and want to set their world state, as opposed to importing a save. If you didn't get the option to import and you have a save from the earlier game, it could be in the wrong place. This IGN article has the details on how to fix the file being in the wrong place, but if you didn't have a save and want to specify your choices, you have to restart and choose the other path. I'd say it's for people who DID play the earlier game (or watch it I guess), and can't import their save for whatever reason. If you didn't play Witcher 2, I find it hard to see any reason not to just run default other than one or two quests amongst the flood of stuff to do the game already gives.

If there are multple items listed, up to you which you use. I thiiink the condition with have an icon at the end of it's bar if it progresses, and not if it fades with time. Stuff in dog backpack carries over between runs. If you really want more mold, mulberries go off relatively fast.

I'm pretty sure that is not correct. As and when you get the DLC the appropriate things will appear to let you access it. You do have to beat a boss with the initials V.A. to access the area, but doing so before purchasing the DLC should make no difference. The only hiccup can be if you proceed to NG+ at which point you do need to progress to the appropriate point in the story again. [On the same or on a new character.]

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."

Hmm. For West of Loathing ... The game autosaves all the time, but you can have multiple characters, the option to switch between or delete them only appears on the main menu once you have multiple. You can turn off/on the game spending XP for you in the options at any time. The choice of book from Mom has no long term effects (the others will be available in various ways). Hover over blue text in item and skill descriptions for an explanation of various game mechanics. Days passing has some effects on some things. A no killing run is possible, but does not have an achievement.

credburn posted:This is a bizarre question, and maybe inappropriate for this thread; sorry if it is, and I hope it doesn't derail it, but... Pretty sure the game does explain this to you but. Killing monsters gains you Malice. If it hits red, you have to face Fox Face, which is bad. When you get the chance go to save points or the world map, and go to the Graveyard from the menu. Talk to masks, fight the embodiment of your built up Malice to clear it and sometimes gain items. Various things lower sanity including, turns passing, becoming a demonic horror, remaining as a demonic horror. If it runs out, bad things happen. For things like boss help, go to Gamesfaqs. And if you want to see the special super good ending, you are probably going to need a guide.

http://www.beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Dragon%27s_Dogma Pretty sure it covers everything relevant to Before I Play. Though I note it doesn't say the "If you want to not miss anything, you'll probably need a guide. So either accept missing things or risk spoiling yourself" type tip which I feel is pretty important. More in-depth stuff is best for the Dragon's Dogma thread in Games I would have thought?

im cute posted:If you decide to go for a Human Powers Only run, familiarize yourself with the materials duping exploit because you’re going to be burning through ammo at a much higher rate than if you had typhon powers. Definitely get that shotgun and taser modded ASAP because that’s going to be your only way of really putting it to the bigger, floatier enemies. I can't imagine that being needed on normal difficulties, but I would say, side-exploring is good for staying supplied. But I would say, if you like killing enemies spend neuromods on killing enemies better. The perk for +damage on all security weapons is good, and focus on +damage on weapon mods for better ammo efficiency. Also, as should maybe be on the top of all Arkane games BIP pages : Look UP! And sometimes down.

Regarding Destiny 2 There's a bunch of solo stuff, and the stuff you can do with pick up groups is all simple enough to do with pick up groups. Races don't matter. If you make three people, probably better to have one of each class that all of one, as weekly limited stuff can't be done on the same class twice ((IIRC)). Otherwise just play, don't buy lootboxes, try to have fun. If after a while something confuses you, look it up then.

Persona 5 A mixture of yes, and it's the bit that is the least fixable if you mess it up which is mostly relevant if you don't want to NG+ to see the true ending. And it has a lot of effect on your options in battling and in improving your stats in battle. Though in 5 at least, if you sort out Fortune relatively early (I forget when they are available at all, but does involve having a big pile of money for one step) you can blow a bunch of money to help skip spending time on Confidant levels. And there's a few ways to make it rain. Though tutorial stuff goes on for a long long time I will warn you. Basically you just need to choose your own balance between finding your own way and looking stuff up.

pigdog posted:More precisely, you need a point of Insight to level up. While meeting the first boss is a common way, you can also find a Madman's Knowledge item in the sewers that can grant you a point. So you don't necessarily need to kill the two werewolves on the bridge first. I'd also say you never have to fight those at all regardless. If an enemy seems too tough and dangerous and isn't a boss, consider not fighting them.

Mayor McCheese posted:
This is not so true in Dark Souls 2, it's more of a sliding scale, but the thresholds are good rules of thumb. To dual-wield properly you need 1.5x the required strength and dex of each weapon. The swordsmaster does not start with such stats. Try to two-hand your left hand weapon and if you enter a stance instead, that's dual wielding. (Power Stance is the in game term). Part of me wants to suggest starting with Dark Souls 1 instead. But I don't have a clear argument for it (other than it being over all better, but not in every single facet). EDIT : Doh, the wiki page already covers the first two points at least. Tylana fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Jan 6, 2018 |

Between a few different confidant powers, P5 is a lot easier to 100% in one run compared to 4 and 3. But you'll still probably have to look up a bunch of stuff, like triggers for sidequests and ways of making money quickly (in game time wise at least). So usual discovery/efficiency considerations as with most video games.

Fat Samurai posted:Anything I should know about Sunless Skies? C button (by default) is cruise control. Hard to use with controller though. You have to equip officers (can only do in port) It is a trading game now (there's a tutorial at the first port). As well as the other things. Not sure if you can subsist off just port reports. Lamp doesn't use fuel (I think?) so keep it on as default. Shunting sideways doesn't use fuel, but turning does. If you really want to go fast, you need to cruise and shunt in a tacking across the wind kind of way. You can change combat difficulty between deaths. Kind of cheaty but when playing Legacy You can quit to title before accepting your death in the dialogue box to reload from the last port you were in If you are kind of lost in a new place, go to the centre of your chart.

juliuspringle posted:When you guys say prioritize suits over gadgets in Spider-man does that mean ignore suit mods too or just ignore the actual gadget tab? I... would suggest the opposite, kinda. Get one suit power you like. Maybe prioritise whatever passive bonuses you like (I seem to recall you can only equip 3?). But the gadgets are pretty solid.

Once you get a place to sleep, you can pop in and out of it do to so. It's not really quick or good, but my memory thinks it was needed. As said, you are a weird PC, so you can take all the chrome available without affecting your magic. Controls are kind of weird, so many look them up?

Dangan Ronpa 1&2 you can't fully friend everyone in a normal playthrough. Trying for a couple of people can unlock extra skills. There's a weird alternative game mode if you want to do lots of hanging out and getting close to people once you beat the game. Best way to get presents from Monomachine is theoretically one coin at a time. Mostly just play the game to the end, then poke guides for the sub-games if you care.

Some extra skills are unlocked at different points (Or at Max rank in DR2) but mostly either see who you think you have a good present for, or who you want to know about. Social progress and presents and such are kept if go and replay chapters (and/or play the postgame thing)

Dangan Ronpa 2 Go in blind. Enjoy the ride. You can replay chapters if you really want. There is a postgame mode like in some version of Dangan Ronpa 1 where you can farm up all the chatting scenes. Some of the minigames have changed, so read the instructions. The weird Monomi minigame you unlock gets more stages as you clear the game, mostly just for it's own fun and some monocoins. The tamogachi minigame can unlock a couple of skills if you want to look up a guide for that. (The steam guide was pretty focus and unspoilery IIRC). Oh and there's a vending machine in the convenience store that lets you buy unlimited amounts of a limited range of gifts, if you just want to give SOMETHING and the capsule machine is too slow and chunky. (I played the PS4 bundle/remaster, hopefully all this still applies)

Disco Elysium : Time passes by talking and other dialogue boxes, but not walking or sitting there thinking (playerside thinking that is). Make your own saves, it's autosaves are kinda far apart by default. EDIT : But, it definitely far more of a play blind, just play, own your gently caress-ups kind of game. Notably there are times when failing a check is better for you, or more fun, or more pleasant than passing it. If you really want to dig in and find the 'perfect' route, that's outside this thread.

Ainsley McTree posted:For Prey (2017): is the “manipulate items from a distance” neuromod useful? It sounds like it would be but I don’t wanna waste one of my two safe alien mod spots if not. The description is a bit vague and for all I know it can’t do anything that the nerf gun can’t do better. Mimic Matter is the thing that gets you into places you can't otherwise. TK is fun, but doesn't really change anything. EDIT : But it does let you pick things up straight into your inventory thruogh grates and stuff. You don't need to be very scared about taking spoopy mods once you have some gear and understanding of the game. OTOH, not taking any spoopy mods ever is also ezpz. Like, three minor closets with non-unique mods are blocked (though the nerf shot in the morgue is a bit tricksy).
