For levelling driving (and you should want to, because the Supercar gets guns at 4 stars) in Crackdown I found going berserk is the fastest way. Get a hit squad coming after you, and then drive around that particular island running over everybody. Literally everybody, like driving on the sidewalk. The hits you take to your levelling by running over pedestrians are more than made up for by running over gang members, and on the highway (remember to stay on your island although sometimes the hit squads carry over to the other islands) if you stick to driving on the wrong lanes, the gang members in their oncoming cars should die instantly if your speed is high enough.

For Assassin's Creed Syndicate will I be forced to play as Evie or Jacob? I'm figuring out how specialized I want them to be but if there are going to be long sections where I can't switch then making them both more well-rounded is the better bet.

Neddy Seagoon posted:They have separate story missions in each chapter, you just pick which ones get done first. The only thing you absolutely need to prioritise upgrading ASAP as a skill is Lockpicking. It makes some infiltrations much easier, along with opening chests as you find them rather than having to come back later. Cool, thanks! I love making money in games so I want lockpicking on both characters ASAP. Got it on Evie, will have to check Jacob.

Gynovore posted:I agree with you; but please, everyone, don't buy the DLC. Microtransactions and day-1 DLC are both scummy business practices; companies that use them should be kicked in the nads, not rewarded with your money. Hmm... but what if they introduced microtransactions that would pay for kicking the companies in the nads?

LawfulWaffle posted:I think it auto saves after fast traveling, too. But it's good advice not to rely on the autosave, especially when you can save anywhere that's not right next to enemies or in a dungeon. Yeah, we could use a different term for that. Also, "level". Because you can go to a level in a level to level.

Zaodai posted:In MMOs they tend to use "instance" instead of dungeon, though you then run into problems with differentiating between a instanced dungeon and anything else that just happens to have its own instance server. Instance doesn't really seem right for single-player because the whole game is instanced in that sense.

juliuspringle posted:Anything helpful to know for War for (or Fall of) Cybertron? It SEEMS like a pretty straightforward series but I figured I'd ask. Also how does Devastation compare to this? I hear that it's good if you like the cartoon but the movies exist so I'm skeptical. I liked Devastation. I get that you're skeptical if the whole "you'll like it if you liked the cartoon" was ever used in defence of the movies simply because the movies and characters share names but no, if you liked the cartoon then Devastation really will feel like a long-lost episode of the show. Overall the game feels kinda budget, and there are some weird choices peppered throughout, but ultimately the real core mechanics of it being a beat-em-up are fun and polished. The combat was always a treat. If you're okay with button sequence combos and you like the G1 Transformers then it's worth checking out. Just don't pay much for it.

Ravenfood posted:Anything for the new Doom? Treat every fight like it's the last fight and by that I mean ignore your videogame hoarding instinct and use whatever gun and whatever mod and whatever ammo you want to get the job done and have fun. Rockets are not a special, rainy day weapon. Grenades are limitless (but on cooldown). The chainsaw can one-shot any non-boss enemy when your suit's ammo is fully upgraded. So just go buck wild. The only exception to this is when trying to do the various challenges or rune upgrade requirements, but you can leave those for when you replay a level.

Pneub posted:And if you do happen to start running out of gun ammo and you're getting cornered, don't be afraid burn chainsaw fuel on a zombie or something since the ammo drop will refill all of your guns. Definitely. Once you've got several guns it's more likely that you'll die before you run out of all types of ammo, even if you have terrible aim, but using the chainsaw to get more ammo is real nice. It's easily one of my favourite weapons/game mechanics of all time.

For Witcher 3, I think I chose the opposite option for what I wanted when it comes to the simulate save choice. I thought "do not simulate" meant that it wouldn't automatically choose things for me so that I could decide but looking it up it would seem I Chose Poorly. Is there a way to re-do that without starting a fresh game? I'm not far into the tutorial area so if I have to restart, fine, but I'm hoping for another method.

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 ended up restarting and it wasn't that bad because I forgot how much of the first twenty minutes or so are training and tutorials that you can skip, so I got back to where I had left off very quickly. Now to wait until the save simulation options come up and I can do a forums search in this thread for the best choices (they're not in the Wiki).

Darksiders 2SiKboy posted:Some weapons are "possessed" (I think thats what it was called anyway) and you can feed weapons you dont want to the possessed weapon to improve it. Increase its stats, take on traits of the consumed weapon etc. Its fairly easy to get a possessed weapon to break the curve one way or another. I had one through the midgame that did much higher damage than anything else, and mid to end game I had another that, by judicious feeding of other weapons with heal on (X) abilities, gave me I think health on hitting, health on damaging and health on kills. I would advise to do a little research on how the consumed weapon system works because I remember it being a bit of a black box.

Brother Entropy posted:something worth bringing up for spider-man is that some base challenges don't get unlocked until the latter half of the game; for awhile i was worried that i was gonna have to double back and re-do any base i hadn't gotten all the base tokens out of yet if i was gonna squeeze out enough to keep unlocking suits and whatnot but then act 3 rolled around and now i have a buttload of new bases to do One thing I really like about the game is that it not only tells you to go off and do side missions and other non-story content but the story accommodates it. The story has things that need to be checked out or investigated but the game often gives you a short break between main missions because you're waiting to hear back from somebody. It's not the typical game where you feel the main character shouldn't be stopping to smell the roses when there are very serious and urgent matters to attend to.

Zaodai posted:The short breaks it has given me so far have all been extremely short, like "don't even make it to a side event before it tells me to go do the story again" type short. The breaks can never be the perfect length to satisfy people who power through the story and people who need to be completionists every step of the way (plus everyone in between) but I appreciate the pretense that you've got time to spare between main events. Even a little wiggle room is enough where I go "yeah, let's say it took a while for MJ to call back and I had enough time to play pigeon catcher". It's better than the old Spider-Man 2 system where you had to earn "Hero Points" by doing side stuff in order to unlock the next main mission. Mandatory fun isn't quite the same.

Mayveena posted:Potions are always hard for me in games, I've died a zillion times with the needed potion just sitting there waiting for the 'right moment'. This is something I've gotten better at over the years. There's a hurdle to get over as I start each new game but it's easier to get over everytime I do it. Use powerful weapons, toss grenades, activate buffs, drink potions, etc. Maybe I'll die because I didn't conserve something or other but I'll have had more fun playing before I get to that point.

My Lovely Horse posted:I'm catching up on Spider-Man. Looks pretty straightforward, but am I gonna have to watch my token spending or is there (eventually) enough to go around for all the upgrades? Like, if there are 55 hidden backpacks are there exactly 55 backpack tokens to spend across all the upgrade trees, is handling 5 crimes per district gonna give me all the crime tokens I'll ever need...? The only ones that you may feel you're running short on will be Challenge Tokens which will be needed to get all suits and all gadget upgrades. You don't need to get Gold in all of the Challenges to earn enough tokens for that but you need Gold for 13 of them. Most people recommend prioritizing getting suits before maxing out all gadgets because there's a trophy for buying all the suits you can (an important difference between "buying" and earning because you can get that trophy and platinum without earning, say, the ESU suit) whereas the trophy related to gadgets is something like only 15 upgrades. That said, if you think you can get Gold in 13 challenges and Silver in the others then you can just buy whatever you want because you won't be short. Also, if you are going to get the DLC there are more challenge tokens to be earned there that are solely for the purpose of buying suits in the base game. There are more suits in the DLC but they are all earned through other means, not by spending tokens. Lobok fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Dec 17, 2018 |

Shadow of Mordor was super fun when I got caught in those massive base fights where I was surrounded by dozens of orcs and named orcs would show up here and there. The one drawback was that ranged enemies forced me to the periphery of the fight too often when I would have preferred being in the thick of things.

Story wise the DLC are best played in order after the game. The main reason to venture into Hearts of Stone "early" would be for the further mutations but they take too long to be worth mixing the storylines.

I'm hoping to finally get Spider-Man soon (once I work out where it's cheapest) but I hate missing pieces of a game. I still haven't gotten around to Watch Dogs 2 yet because I can't justify $60 in cosmetic dlc (I was born in the 80's so I really want the neon stuff but unlike actual game and stuff the cosmetic dlc is NEVER on sale) As far as anybody knows there is no more DLC so yes, the main game plus City That Never Sleeps is everything. CTNS is made up of three DLC chapters.
