Fallout: *The rats are in case you need enough experience to level, so ignore them. *Allies are extremely helpful in the early to mid-game. *Psycho (or two) is your best friend in the wasteland and he works best over quests with tons of enemies in tight spaces. *Aim for Speech as it is very important at high percentages. *Tycho gets very angry when you kill people in his town. *Stick to small guns early on and then energy weapons when you have hundreds of ammo for it. *A few more points in barter allows you to trade your stimpack for almost two of theirs. *Don't bother with using the keyword system unless you read about them on some other site. Suikoden *Place one water rune for each character you will be using often. The heals add up quickly enough. *Expect to have people (gently caress you Luc) die often during failed RPS turns. Levels help a lot during those fights. *Always take a character who is very weak and fight a few battles to make him close to your level and then forget him, until it happens again. *Don't execute anyone or lose duels.

God Hand *Angry bosses act like they are a level higher so you better let them cool off a bit. *If an attack looks a little too low to be ducked, it might still be ducked, unless it is a weapon coming down on your head. *Armed enemies have very few attacks and you can let them come at you while you are ducking. *Keep ducking when fighting demons and let them take some swings before you attack. *Side-step and punch a couple times when surrounded and run when there are too many at once. *Jump attacks wear down enemy numbers and so does running out of their territory.

Just keep cards with the most arrows for the tournament. *Piles of Gil are everywhere you don't think they could be. *Save up all gemstones for friendly monsters except the ugly cat. *The auction house randomly prices junk that could be resold and bought back at a lower price. *The ATE thing is determined by following a fixed path you are currently heading. You can head back to the other path when you are done. *Your equipment with a bonus to stats will eventually make that stat go up one point after a couple levels. It also stacks and goes up a point at fewer levels. Spirit and speed are not that important. *Stealing from bosses is the biggest waste of effort in the game. Just get your special junk later on.

Should I be paranoid and find some way to remove it, or is it something minor that won't mess up the computer?

I think there is an item storage chest near the stairs that leads to the statues. You have to go past a few zombies in that hallway far to the right, before the foot of the steps. Knives are useless outside of RE4. Don't pick up everything as you will backtrack enough times for the plot.

SpitztheGreat posted:If it's your first time playing the game then ditching the knife when you can is good idea. However the knife is still useful for some areas, especially before you get to the police station. In any area that you can safely get something to block you from the zombies you can use the knife to kill them and thus save your ammo. The most obvious part is when you need to climb over a dumpster that is blocking the an alley. Two zombies will approach you while you're on top of the dumpster. They won't be able to hit you so just stab the fuckers.

Don't bother hunting Marks until you have the Nihoarghnamesucks accessory and enough remedies to debuff them. Their rewards are usually weak even if you get to them early. I think all Marks under rank 7(8?) are weak to the Niho-Rem trick. The Chocobo Mark one in a snow map is invisible most of the time and elusive. You may remember him as a floating imp in FF4.

6025 posted:Does anybody have any tips for Godhand's last boss? You get a full recovery after beating Azel. Use those orbs and duck when he does his finger flick. You can also duck-dodge his fireballs at close range. You can double click right when he does that shockwave burst and get between the pillars of flame. If it is Azel: Abuse the sweep in your moves. Don't save your orbs and tension. Ducking when he attacks can be great setups for sweeps. Run around like an idiot when he unleashes and use jump attacks when he gets to normal. Hitman: Blood Money If no one can see your face, they won't expect you to strangle them easily. They know who you are if they see behind them. Turn around and duck if someone is approaching you. You can sometimes walk into restricted areas and get shot at but they might leave you alone if you get out of there quickly and without being violent. Wait for someone to lean over railings and push them off. Sneak up behind people with your gun drawn and hold them, then knock them out and drag them away from open places. They will only get up if someone touches them if you didn't shoot the body. Use weapons appropriate to the situation and uniform. This isn't like the older games. Take your time in missions.

tokyosexwale posted:Silent Hill Playing on hard seemed to be a horrifying experience as I had no trouble on normal, yet those kids/enemies will spawn nonstop and the endless noise they make, made me erase all my saves. The difficulty isn't entirely like the normal games but at least you get many more enemies at once and ammo becomes scarce. Use up all your ammo before you fight the final boss for a time-delayed secret. Just fire everything you have and trigger the final battle.

Easy mode doubles your ammo pickup and others make it normal. If you beat the easy game and start over at normal or normal then hard (you are locked in difficulty), you get a bonus multiplier in ammo pickups (maybe up to 9X). Some enemies in places do respawn often in easy mode as far as I can tell, with the headless bears sneaking up on me in the sewers. Silent Hill 3 does hard mode much better by adding steps to puzzles.

Never do Item World runs early on. If you can kill/move Gatekeepers in two hits on the same turn and clear all 10 floors (10 is all you need for story missions) in around 15 minutes, then you are not wasting your time. You only need to kill the tenth floor leaders of Item Worlds to get a large bonus increase. Skip all the floors. Fists moves Gatekeepers off of the panels and giving your Fist users three shoes, is very efficient. Reload the store to get specialists (or two) that add to the main stat of an item and forgo buying the next level item. Have you team move in a Turtle formation where they can combo attacks and allow on enemy to hit your guy at a time. Higher elevations allow more damage and reduces your damage from regular attacks. Level on maps that have lots of Exp squares or have multiple enemies that can be killed very quickly from the start. Stealing is very helpful, capturing monster classes (and their items) is even better, if you have lots of disposable guys in your panel. HP is very important (greatly weaken your target) for this and the post game is downright unfair with capturing 5-6 digit HP monsters. Always attack from behind or the sides if you use regular attacks. Never balance your guys and fill them with equipment that magnifies their skills.

tim kashew posted:I'm a little ways into Disgaea DS, and I feel a bit overwhelmed between all the Senate stuff and the Item World and so on. Plus I got to the first boss fight and all the regular units are doing crazy amounts of damage with spells and bows. Am I missing something obvious here, or am I just underleveled? It also seems like I'm awfully broke almost constantly, what's the best way to level up a bit and make a little money? I used some leveled up Prinnies and tossed them at some guys to soften them up, over a few chapters. For level progression, if you are on equal level than the bosses for half the game, then you are good enough. The higher chapters can allow you to fall behind in levels as most of the enemies have no equipment. Don't bother with the Item World beyond level 10, for the main game. The levels of items will increase faster than your characters can keep up.

Characters generally prefer weapons with an A rank and higher tiered classes could reach S rank (higher tiers will gain weapon levels faster even if the rank is the same). The difference in rank levels are maybe 2-3 point difference per hit and you can level them faster with a 1700 Armsmaster specialist, and make each hit 18 times as effective. Statisticians max at 300 for a four times experience per kill. Thieves loving suck for newbies (unless you want to go through the Item World quickly by stack tossing them and Laharl). Just weaken a monster's hp and hope the base panel has enough backup to capture the monster with the items you want. Scalding Coffee fucked around with this message at 17:07 on May 7, 2009 |

Experiment with ducking and dodging attacks that could hit you. I think all head chop attacks will hit you if you duck. Buying health items will restore your health to full. The stomp prompt is worthless and will make you vulnerable to being hit. Learn how to dodge-cancel most moves to get more hits in and shorten recovery time. Some moves will never be hastened. How the hell do you remove moves from the sushi slots and get extra moves?

Kill your old guys off if you want to buff up late characters. *Spam Accumulate/buffs to build 10 experience. *The more advanced classes gain more stats per level and the Mime has the best growth. *Too much Faith will make your characters defect and the screen effect is troublesome. ***Press the right direction over your attacks.
