It's been a while but from what I remember the old guy is about to do something important to stop the great evil from appearing, but then he hesitates and suddenly the wind blows his beard to the side and reveals the great evil's icon on his chest. Something appears out of portal, old guy enters portal himself, boss fight with the something, portal is temporary closed, setup for sequel that never happened, the end.

I don't think he was one of those things. He probably was just an agent of the guys in the other dimension. It's probably not explained in detail because you know, last minute plot-twist.

I ended up taking screenshots, uploading them to the Steam community and browsing those on a tablet while I had the game open. That sounds like more work than it really is, but I still was glad I didn't go too crazy with all the sliders.

That reminds me of the time when I picked up a cheap copy of Daikatana and got horribly stuck near the end of the second act. The game was mostly linear levels up to that point, but then they took advantage of the Quake 2 engine technology to go back and forth between levels. You also had some puzzles like Hexen where doing something in one area would change something in a different area. Anyway, I got stuck and since Daikatana was a pretty reviled game there were no walkthroughs to help me out. Not even Gamespy's PlanetDaikatana was of any use, since their guide was extremely bare bones. This was also before YouTube, so no videos by that one dude who loves the game way too much to the point that you'd suspect him to be a serial killer in the making. There were cheats to skip levels, but that forced you to use more cheats to power up the sword because skipping levels would reset it and basically by that point you realize you are putting way too much effort in a game that is poo poo

Inspector Gesicht posted:First-time players really need to know this beforehand, as this is the only time in the game where passing a skill check leads to a negative outcome. It's not just skill-checks, pretty much any dialogue choice that questions him will cause dislike and that first impression is a lasting one. If you want to save Domino you need to have picked the right tone (willing, subservient, not a smartass) with him from the very beginning, because you can't change his mind. If you pay attention to the backstory though you'll find that there is no reason whatsoever to let him live.

You've got Payload, which does a far better job at making all the classes shine and is less reliant on individual players doing well. Last time I played (2 years ago) it was the most popular game-mode too, so they must have something right (RIP tc_hydro, you stalemating son of a bitch).

StandardVC10 posted:Half-Life 2: Episode Two: I went for the "Get some Grub" achievement and missed 2 out of a possible 333 grubs. Then I did it again and missed 3 of the bastards. That's the first game that really got me into achievements. It was also the last one because of that poo poo. There's also the rocket gnome achievement that involves carrying a garden gnome for the majority of the game. During the vehicle sections you can put it in the car but it won't stay still so you end up driving very carefully. Then at the end you can still miss out on the achievement if you don't close the hatch to the rocket (even though it'll launch anyway)

They must have expected him to die during that fight, because there is no dialogue with him whatsoever if he survives. I guess there is a thin line between a poignant death and "wait, was that it?".

Jobbo_Fett posted:Thing dragging down LoL (Aside from players): They changed up my Zilean! Instead of placing bombs on a target, he now tosses them in the air at a location; turning it into a skillshot for no reason. It's so players can actually try to move out of the way instead of being able to do nothing about it. If you hit someone with two bombs now you get an AoE stun. That's really good in teamfights. Karthus is unchanged outside of a total visual makeover. Malphite had minor changes to the effects of some his abilities, although the way the abilities work are still the same.

BTW if you want character specific patch notes you can go to lol.wikia.com, click on a character, click on the Background tab and scroll all the way down. Of course this will tell you nothing about new champions, item changes and rune/mastery changes so you never get the full picture. LoL is not a friendly game to people who take an hiatus from it. You can toss out most of the things you knew about jungling for example.

Final Fantasy talk reminded me of this, related to the Odin boss fight in III: "In the 3D version, this is also the only opportunity in the game to obtain the spear Gungnir, the most powerful weapon until the end of the game, with the class-mastery weapons and the Ultima Weapon. The spear can only be stolen by a Thief with a Job level of 71 or higher. The weapon also has a 2% chance of being dropped, giving the player the ability to obtain two Gungnirs." Which is actually fine, because no sane person would level the Thief job on a single character that much anyway.

There is also an apartment in Detroit where if you tranq a thug before triggering a dialogue (he tells you to take a hike when you get close to him) it will count as a kill. When I did a non-lethal run I used Gibbed's achievement manager at the end. I did a similar thing for the achievement that involves reading all the e-books/logs. I think the way they integrated the Missing Link DLC in the Director's Cut broke that one.

I like the focus on bestiary entries and stuff like potions and oils in The Witcher series.

Just give me merchants or alchemists who sell all of it so there's a single stop before going outside a town/city.

MisterBibs posted:I kinda like how they did it with CJ: he wasn't trying to get out of the gangster life, but in the process of doing stuff for people he wound up having businesses beyond being a gangster. When he finally gets his brother out of jail, his brother pulls him back into that life. That scene always stuck with me because CJ is totally spineless there. He should have given his brother a big "gently caress you" there and told him what it took for him to get there and how he never wanted to be part of it all in the first place. CJ should be wrapping up unfinished business as a form of payback, not just because his dumb brother can't stop talking about the hood.

I replayed George Lucas' Star Wars: Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast this week and I knew it had a rough beginning going in and boy, it was even worse than I remembered. You don't start as a Jedi which leads to almost two hours of the most accurate Stormtrooper combat simulator ever, because neither you nor the enemies can hit poo poo. I found myself either taking slow shots at a distance in the hopes of killing them eventually OR just running in melee-range and using the blaster rifle to shotgun them to death. There's also a bunch of dumb sequences like having to escort a prison warden at gunpoint. He only moves if you have your cross-hair over him, yet he walks at a snail's pace when you do. When he finally opens a door you need him for several critters will pop out and will chew him to death unless you quickly respond and kill them. Otherwise look forward to reloading and escorting the warden again, because while this game has checkpoints they are usually ten minutes apart. There's also the sequence where you have to protect the prisoners from Stormtroopers and an AT-ST before too many of them die, which is a good way to hate yourself for picking one of the harder difficulty levels (and the main reason I stuck to the default difficulty this time, because I've been there before). But then you finally get your lightsaber and force powers, phew. And the tutorial section for them wasn't even that bad as I thought it would be! But oh, it's Nar Shaddaa all of a sudden where the main enemies are suicidal grenade lobbers and long-range snipers so you pretty much have to stick to guns. It's like an entire section of Greedo's cousins taking revenge for Han shooting first, because you can hear them charging the sniper rifle but you usually don't see them until after they've taken a shot at you. Also, lots of small platforms where it's easy to fall off into a endless pit AKA a quick game over. It starts getting better when you get to Bespin/Cloud City although it starts with one of many sections where the devs fully intended you to die the first time. In the beginning you have to crack a vent and then wait for an elevator to come down to take you upwards. The force of the elevator coming down however blows you away if you decided to wait in the vent, sending you to off to the clouds (AKA another quick game over). At no other point in the game do you have to deal with wind blowing you away! Another Bespin highlight: being forced to protect an R2 droid that will just blindly stumble into trip mines, forcing you to run ahead and clear them all. Meanwhile some Nar Shaddaa rejects are firing from you across the way. So you either die because of them, die because of the trip mines exploding or the R2 droid dies and you have to do it all over again. You can use force speed to slow things down and use force push to shove the R2 unit back a bit, but there's just not enough time to do it all at once. You are about halfway done at that point, but the game gets good. Sure, there's a stealth section, but it's actually not that bad if know where to go? Huh. It helps that you can just rush to the alarm and prevent people from activating it during most of the section. It's probably a lot more trial and error the first time through. Either way, onwards to replaying Jedi Academy next. You start with a lightsaber in that one, so it already has a leg up. Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 14:53 on Feb 7, 2016 |

The Moon Monster posted:It's amazing how well people liked that game is considering how much of it was just awful. Academy was the better game but I still like Outcast better for some reason. The multiplayer probably helped a lot. I remember how it sometimes the FPS would dip in the single digits on my PC and I still had a blast with it. I think that was before I realized how much you could get out of tweaking ini's, because just cutting reflective lighting/surfaces would have been a big boost.

I guess he just thinks that Rosh is an incapable tool and has to do everything, but he takes a power nap during your character's missions.

The serpent in Overlord is a great example of the developers wanting you to use certain game mechanics to defeat a boss, but the mechanics being wonky so you just end up brute forcing it. If you haven't played Overlord it's a game where you have your minions (think imps/Gremlins) do most of the fighting for you. You don't have complete control over them, you essentially sweep a group of them towards enemies or objectives and then recall them when they are done or in danger. There are different kind of minions and in this example there are just the browns (regular, fighting kind) and the blues (can walk through water and resurrect other minions). Right after having earned the ability to use the blue minions you come across the serpent, a boss fight. The way the developers want you to fight this water creature is by positioning your brown minions near an edge and have the serpent chew down on one of them while the other browns jump on him and start smashing it. The serpent will eventually shake the minions off, so you have your blue minions positioned near the water so they jump in and resurrect them, after which you repeat this cycle until the serpent is done for. What is for more likely to happen is that the serpent will chew down on the blue minions at one point, killing most of them instantly since they are far weaker than the browns. And in the end you just don't bother with the blues altogether and just keep tossing browns at him, because you can probably miss about 40 of them at this point. What makes it even worse is that the serpent returns later on.  This time you don't have to fight him. You merely need a dozen of your minions to spin the wheel right next to him to open a door. The mechanic they want you to use here is (1) have one of your minions pick up one of the eggs in the bird nest on the right, (2) lead this minion close to the serpent while some of the birds will chase after, (3) drop the egg near the serpent, (4) the serpent will chomp down on one of the birds, (5) quickly send your minions to spin the wheel, (6) retreat when the serpent is done chewing, and (7) repeat the sequence until the door is open. What is far more likely to happen is that (A) the birds will not chase the egg unless you have the minion carrying it waggle back and forth, (B) the serpent will chomp down on the minion instead giving you no time to spin the wheel, (C) the minions that you send to spin the wheel will get stuck getting there when you need at least 12 of them to get the wheel moving. Thus (D) you brute force it again. It's not as bad as the first encounter, since you didn't have to fight the serpent, right? Well, right after walking through the door you just opened you have the ability to do a re-match and actually fight him. See those arrows pointing towards the bags of gold in the screenshot? You can earn some sweet loot this time... Basically, the developers are a bunch of assholes. Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 14:35 on Feb 14, 2016 |
