The Mimic posted:A trooper stands before us. I played SR2 on PC after playing it on the xbox and it was almost unbearable. I still beat it (again) but it was a thoroughly less enjoyable experience. I hope my 5850 gets along well with the PC version. ATi cards are weird. According to Idol you should be fine. I played and beat SR3 with that exact card and it went pretty well. I couldn't max anything out but I was above "average" settings the whole way with like 30-40 fps pretty steady except when lots and lots of poo poo was exploding all at once. Same engine only optimized it should go pretty respectably well for you, I think. I just hope I don't have to update my drivers again. It's always such a pain in the rear end. gently caress ATI drivers forever.

poptart_fairy posted:19 hours.    My manager scheduled me to close tonight. Of course, I request off for Saint's Row IV, I get scheduled to get off work at 1am. What's the best way to stay up without guzzling enough energy drinks to give me a heart attack? I don't think I'm sleeping tonight.

KirbyKhan posted:That really is my main motivation for pushing through the main story line and not just collecting data clusters for the next 8 hours. When I saw Matt Miller's I figgured I could die from laughing so much. I cannot stop collecting data clusters. I'm on the dubstep gun mission, I've maxed every upgrade I can currently buy, and I have 117 clusters and counting

Speedball posted:The movement system is pure Prototype once you fully upgrade it (you do not start with the ability to run up walls at first; you need to do a Megaman X-style multi-walljump until you buy the upgrade). The process for finding upgrade points for your powers, however, is pure Crackdown: you collect shiny things on top of rooftops and those shiny things are everywhere. I kinda disagree. The movement system feels like Crackdown 3 ripping off Prototype 1. It's floaty like Crackdown, and the jump charging goes from small hop to massive leap without any real way to measure your force before you let go, so you end up floating above poo poo looking down as you fall towards it constantly which is exactly what exploring in crackdown felt like. I've had to master air dashing through pickups because landing on them precisely is a complete pain in the butt sometimes. Running up walls isn't overly smooth and instead of parkouring up the side of a building it's not uncommon to get hung up on building geography. Jumping up building sides is often preferable to wall running and you can't wall run in any directions or anything like in Prototype, just straight up to get height. There's no bouncing from building to building running along the sides of buildings to leap off down the block. Prototype felt like a parkour experience, and this movement isn't parkour. It's brute force movement like crack down. Less precise. I would kill for a spiderman 2 style jump charge meter so you could not leap 50 feet above the 2 story house you're trying to get on top of to get a glowy thing. It's fun, and it's a pretty effective movement system, but there are times (like climbing towers) that I wish I had the precise movement control I had in Prototype so that I could pull poo poo off instead of falling back down a level or 2 from misjudging things. At least gliding never runs out like in Prototype. Get high enough and you can glide a kilometer or two. Also sorry if this seems negative I'm just hopelessly in love with Prototype 1's movement system and have never seen any game pull it off remotely as well since. I can't play Prototype 2 because they hosed it up so badly.

Ok I finally found something about this game that pisses me off. Genki's Mind over Murder on hard, 6 locations, I cannot finish location 5/6 before I get downgraded to silver. Cheat engine time, I hope it lets me freeze the timer.

Mokinokaro posted:Yeah M.O.M. seems balanced for co-op, not singleplayer. I can't figure out how to freeze the clock, so I'm giving up for now. If anyone has some insight, I tried searching for the minute and second values and tried searching for total seconds on the countdown (starting at 450 seconds when there's 7:30 left) and I cannot isolate a value that lets me freeze the clock, and beyond the really basic poo poo I have no idea what I'm doing with Cheat Engine. Someone got enough experience to help me out? Alternately would a toogleable cheat that freezes game timers be possible for stuff like this idol? It would be nice if we had a feature for future replays that let us max out points or stop timers or whatever else to skip the activities that are a pain in the rear end, now that there are actual rewards we want for completing them. I would really love to be able to give the finger to a few of the rift and destruction challenges. It would make me incredibly happy if I could just give myself 9 million points and instantly end that stupid rift platforming challenge. You will not make me use a controller, drat it!

I wonder if we'll be able to change the lockout on weapons when you jump. I get why you couldn't shoot while running when jumping was pretty much only for hurdling obstacles, it seems like an oversight that I can't pour fire down upon the head of the warden I'm following onto a rooftop. I wonder if that's something we'll be able to mod. I would really like to be able to glide over dudes and still be able to aim and fire. Or charge the dubstep gun on the way towards landing and have the landing not interrupt it's firing. At least they got letting you fire powers while blasting wubs right. Dubstep gun plus ice blast absolutely murders every virus injection ever.

Starhawk64 posted:Fixed for you. Dual fire/lightning machine pistols are just unfair for killing pretty much everything. Fire blast followed by just spraying those in the general direction of enemies results in everything dying with almost as much fireworks as the dubstep gun. With max upgrades and ice blast wardens die before I have to down their shields a third time (unless I gently caress up that stupid rear end quicktime). I'm looking forward to the inevitable mod that removes those stupid quicktime events. TheSpiritFox fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Aug 23, 2013 |

A Lamer posted:I would rather spend 100 days straight playing escort or snatch than play another minute of mayhem, frankly. I just hate all the on foot mayhem. Planes and tanks and mechs I enjoy. Running around with a rocket launcher sprinting desperately to find a new set of newspaper stands is just kinda boring. Even with the added mobility of superpowers poo poo like TK mayhem is just loving stupid. Though I still hate rift platforming more.

WarLocke posted:TK and Stomp Mayhem are easy as hell once you have the Vortex upgrade for Super Speed. Just run along sidewalks (while TKing a ball if necessary), rack up combo points, get gold. I can't bring myself to get the tornado upgrade. I don't want to gently caress the city up wherever I go. If I could turn it off once I buy it, yeah, I would in a heartbeat. Also yeah I'm doing the same thing with the black hole gun. I tried that challenge like six times, could not get above silver to save my life. I've golded the TK mayhems the "right" way. I still don't know what I'm going to do about Mind Over Murder. I cannot gold that solo to save my life and I'd rather cheat than admit I can't do it without a co-op partner.

RBA Starblade posted:Yeah, I use everything but buff really, it seems kind of boring compared to super stomping around or dropping cars on dudes. Buff is incredible. Huge damage output increase on pretty much everything and the movespeed comes in handy in a number of situations. You know you can activate buff without interrupting the dubstep gun? I run around with that thing with ice buff and ice blast and nothing moves until it shatters. The 2x damage to frozen targets is really nice in any number of situations and ice buff works on dudes who normally your blast is useless against because they unfreeze so fast. Buff just keeps refreezing them. Buff isn't flashy, but it makes up for it with utility. With the right combo of elements on the right enemies, my killing speed basically doubles and my damage taken drops by half as poo poo is either dancing around on fire, tased, or frozen. I used it literally every fight after I got it and had my powers. I liked that instead of a new way to kill people I didn't need I got a power that made what I could already do way better. The final dudes in the super powered fight club go down fast when they're frozen and taking double damage from tk objects and punches.

Starhawk64 posted:How is being able to kill with Ride of the Valkyries and Polka music not a good value? I look forward to modding in my own songs. Since it already makes things dance I figured I might go look up some DDR tracks. Alternately, throw in something truly horrible like My Chemical Romance which will force you to use things other than the dubstep gun before DFA unless you're so mad at whatever you're shooting that you're willing to punish yourself to punish it. I kinda want one that plays Sympathy for the Devil.

Rirse posted:Do agree with this. I liked someone suggestion where the wardens were more like mini gangleaders and they would control the various revived gangs that you see in certain missions. At least then it wouldn't feel like your just fighting nothing but aliens over and over. Maybe if that happened then when you fight the wardens at the end of these, you get the power that one controls like normal. That or even just skip the wardens and have the revived gang leaders who are promised new bodies if they help Zinyak. I'd be happy if wardens were modded so that a) no quicktimes and b) do not despawn everything in the area upon death. I would rather them have been like heavies, except maybe with a timer so that once you kill one you won't see another for a while.

SheepNameKiller posted:This is the buggiest game I've played in forever on PC but when it's working it's pretty drat fun. Wow, really? I played the entire way through without a single hiccup in the gameplay. Compared to Skyrim when it came out, SR4 ran like a dream on my computer. I don't know that I ever even noticed a slowdown in framerate anywhere, and my system is not exactly top end or anything.

Has anyone made a mod that lets you shoot while jumping or gliding? Because that was seriously the only real problem I had with the game, and I could die happy if I could shoot while in the midst of a super jump.

Young Freud posted:God drat yes! Crap, so I'm guessing not? That just seemed like the most ridiculous oversight, especially when you are just trying to make a small hop and launch 20 feet in the air to clear a three foot gap. Being forced to choose between super powers and agility was not the best choice. It's the dumbest thing, why shouldn't you be able to glide over the city and rain rockets and abduction beams and AR fire from above like the psychotic God they want you to feel like you are?

MikeJF posted:How about Saints Row where you're taking over an city on an alien planet for absorption into the Saints Empire. Saint's Row meets Destroy All Humans Meets Watch Dogs Meets Something With Awesome Vehicle Mechanics. MikeJF posted:I would honestly not be surprised to have a turn-based segment, we already had the side-scrolling arcade fighting game, the top down tank mission, the text-based adventure... I want the Saint's 40 man WoW raid segment. Johnny Gat is the Rogue, Shaundi is a Warrior, Pierce is whatever gimmick build is a complete joke. :Edit: Make pierce be a druid. Old Shaundi can try to smoke some part of him in tree form, and he can summon three mini pierces to help out, and he can spec into everything equally thus being completely useless in practice. :Edit 2: I haven't played WoW since TBC so I have no idea what WoW humor would be relevant these days.

ElectricSheep posted:I'm imagining a high-level skill titled Purple Rain where Pierce sings the titular song off-key while calling in a group of attack helicopters to blast the target with rockets. Pierce drops a keg on the ground, stands on top of it, and starts singing 99 bottles of beer to provide an AOE damage resistance buff.
