In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, you are working for your corporate mastermind ultra-CEO boss who takes on fishy military contracts while yapping on about how this is just to bring in money and seriously they are far more interested in all the good they can do with that money, the whole spiel. Of course halfway through the game you realize that he is actually evil and while that is partly true, you never really stop working for him and one of the endings is explicitly doing what he wants, which is not necessarily the "wrong" choice. At no point does he betray you, he only withholds information and you can call him on his bullshit without going all "I'm going to bring your organization down in flames, gently caress you".

You guys talking about it makes me want to play it. - Carefully read what the game tells you. Tutorials are one thing, but also use the Select button to see what stats do. Read item descriptions to learn about special weapon features; keys often tell you where their lock is. Check out shopkeeper inventories, see if they have cool stuff to offer. Listen to NPCs. - Every weapon is viable, test out a bunch and if you like one, upgrade it as far as it can go, having higher damage asap helps a lot. - Explore, explore, explore. There are a ludicrous number of hidden paths and DS3 is amazing for hiding cool poo poo behind every corner. - Don't be afraid to say "gently caress it" to one direction of exploration after a few deaths and search for alternate routes instead. - You do not have to fight every single enemy every single time. Do to try kill everything in a zone at least once so you can safely look for secrets, but if you have done so once, keep an eye out for breakpoints like ladders, cliffs, doors, obvious zone transitions and such where you can lose pursuers. Just run past your problems, it is way better than trying to genocide every enemy every time while on your way to a difficult boss. Also, you are taking the wrong route to the boss, there is a shortcut that is more convenient. This is always true. Simply Simon has a new favorite as of 15:06 on Apr 19, 2016 |

BioEnchanted posted:Just got to the Swarm of Clerics fight. Not too hard until the second phase with the main guy. I think I'll try Iron Fleshing and just wading the gently caress in when he spawns because I kill large arcs of them at once, they have low health and no poise and I can keep a ton of Estus on hand. Just don't want to give him the chance to use his really mean Dark or Curse spells, or however he seems to be healing. I'm just glad I can basically ignore the encounter just before. 2 Pyromancers, One Cathedral Knight and One Black Knight? gently caress that. I can easily just run past. Also I've found the shortcut just on the other side of that encounter. The second giant can wait until I have better spells because he is surrounded by slowdown sludge and a million slimes. I'm gonna wait for exploding fireball, thankyouverymuch.

I got a SNES Mini more or less through a windfall and while I'm super happy in general to play some good old poo poo again, I am half looking forward to and half dreading Super Mario RPG. I've tried it out emulated two or even three times and could never get past the first few sections, first a purple crocodile was kicking my loving rear end over and over, then I surmounted it on my next try and promptly failed like crazy against the next boss. I think I'm doing something super wrong...or should maybe actually read the loving manual like it's 1996??? I had a great time with Partners in Time which everyone hates, so...

Well, uh. It's a game made for literal children. Did you try using your fireball skill against the crocodile? You can't really do anything wrong in Mario RPG. Outside of a small handful of enemies you can beat the game in like, an afternoon just mashing the attack button.

Simply Simon posted:Listen, I don't know what I did wrong, I just remember having had a bad time twice now. Someone said that it's possible to not buy equipment, maybe I neglected that. I really, really don't know where my problems came from; I have beaten every Final Fantasy from 1-13 excluding 11, many of them including superbosses and poo poo, so it's not like a Square RPG should confound me, but it did. As I said, I'm super looking forward to addressing this eternal point of personal shame. I do think I never bought the equipment before, and even if I did, I might have hosed up equipping it - switching to the right-hand-side list to "klick" the equipment over is kinda weird, imho. That might be the biggest source of my previous issues. Also, I never thought to just go all-in with the Fireball, if you just Attack with Mario and heal with the cloudguy, you'll never get anywhere I think. I never realized before now that FP are shared with the whole party, maybe also something which caused me to gently caress up severely. Oh, and I got killed by the Hammer Bros so maybe I still am just really, REALLY bad at Super Mario RPG. I kept thinking "only one's alive and he's probably gonna keel over with the next attack and then I'll level up, so no need to waste a mushroom okay but next attack he's dead okay if he does another Hammer Time I'll bite it but he MUST be dead now oh" Why is this game so hard  ? I really enjoy it though! It's fine that it's harder than "the first 10 hours are basically tutorial" RPGs that I guess I'm a little too used to, it just requires an unexpected shift in how I usually tackle RPGs, I guess.

Who What Now posted:Are you doing the timed attacks? It is possible that they expect you to grind a little, which is something I have almost completely weaned myself off of (except for rare drops and challenges when I really like the game). I was "just" level 3 against the croc, maybe that makes a huge difference? I have the impression that most people play RPGs (and other games, hell, I see Bloodborne players doing that) by going "ah this enemy is easy enough to beat and gives okay experience, I know what I'm doing the next 5 hours", and I did that too when I was 10. Sooo maybe if you do that by default (or did it when you first played SMRPG), then it IS really easy? I have no idea of the underlying formulas and how much levels and stats really matter...

Who What Now posted:Yeah, it sounds like you're underleveled. Luckily you don't really need to "grind" much because even one or two levels is a pretty huge power increase. Like even just one or two points in Attack can be the difference between dealing damage in the low teens vs in the twenties. I guess it's weird to assign the "difficulty" moniker to "requires just a single level of grinding", but I hope it's ultimately clear why I kept being bewildered by a game where you can have loads of trouble against the first real boss in the game if you don't go at least a bit out of your way to train. Unless we're talking, like, Ys or Lufia, I can't think of any even semi-modern RPG where this would be an issue so early. For sure not in contemporaries like FF6 (okay, a bad comparison because that game never develops any semblance of difficulty), Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana. Thanks everyone for helping me clear up this thing that's been annoying me for quite a while now  . I'll start playing the rest of the game now and already I'm looking forward to more of the gorgeous spritework and the rather funny writing. I found Toadstool's ???  .

Guy Mann posted:SMRPG being of the age where grinding was expected if not outright mandatory in RPGs is made worse by the fact that its lite platforming elements and lack of random encounters mean that you're actually penalized by playing well since you miss more encounters and have less experience. Come to think of it, I did mention Secret of Mana as another game from the same time period and you can grind as much as you want to, the first few bosses will still kick you rear end (especially that drat tiger). Maybe Square just had some solid misses in the "early game difficulty curve" department round that time... Nuebot posted:

the game caps at 30, I'm sure a low level run is possible but it wouldn't be very fun. You don't have to grind too, too much in the game but I'd suggest at least getting mario above level 5, I usually do before the croco fight. Once you get a party member who isn't complete garbage the game gets less frustrating. No one likes mallow.

I wonder if the remake removes the ability to multicast every spell forever if you tell the AI to do it, so that the boss never gets a turn if you do it correctly. Because I stumbled upon that as a kid playing the game and cheesed every boss forever, so I'd be tempted to try the remake just on the basis of it not letting me do that even if I'm tempted... Also, I'm super curious if it is therefore confirmed as a bug, or if they don't remove it, if it always was a feature.

Nuebot posted:Clunky as hell, yes, but I'd never call it bad. Especially compared to other games of the era and even many games in the gamecube/PS2 generation. Mario 64's camera was, by and large, servicable. You didn't always have quite the control you'd want over it and it had a tendency to zoom in and out more than you'd want. But you weren't often stuck facing the rear end end of something irrelevant, and I can't recall any point during my various playthroughs where the camera focused on a piece of geometry and prevented me from being able to play the game. Other early 3D platformers don't go to nearly as much of a length to try and make their camera work always, opting to make it "better" in general (more fluid, giving you more control, allowing it to "cheat" by making things transparent) but thinking that's enough. Often, it isn't.

I think the biggest issues older games had with status effects is conveyance - let's just assume I'm talking about SNES-era final fantasies because I'm most familiar with them. If a status effect hit an enemy, you wouldn't see anything change - no icon showing they're slowed, no colour change to show them asleep, nothing. So you might think you missed them entirely, but that's not true - usually, if you miss them, it SAYS "Miss". But then you'd have to figure out: does this mean you missed them, or are they immune, because status effects have a chance to work? Would you not be served better by just hitting them instead? It's quite frustrating to figure it out and even modern games still haven't quite figured out how to do it well, I think. An "immune" message is nice, but if you missed, how low is your chance really? Can you actually remember this for every enemy, and do you bother to find out? I think Final Fantasy 13 and 13-2 did a great job at this, actually - you have a dedicated debuff class that just throws Poison, Defense lowering, magic Defense lowering, Silence, whatever at the enemy automatically and if you check the enemy stats with a simple button press, for each status you attempted, it will give you an "immune y/n" symbol and you can just do things like queue up four Silences in a row so one will probably hit eventually. And they also deal some damage AND keep their Stagger gauge up, the main damage mechanic. So it never feels useless to attempt for statuses. But on the usefulness of statuses in general - FF5 actually had almost every boss be vulnerable to something. And there's multiple ways to stick statuses onto enemies beyond "cast a spell that might or might not hit". For example, you can put Sleep on your sword and if the enemy is vulnerable, it will ALWAYS hit, and that makes Atomos, a big bad black hole looking motherfucker completely unable to do anything. You can Silence far more bosses than you'd think as well. You can Berserk the superboss Shinryu, so he can't do anything but smash your face in (that's its own problem, but a solvable one). The other superboss Omega can be Stopped, which from a Time Mage would have to go through his ludicrous magic evasion, but from a Bard singing a "hold still" song? It'll always hit. There's even a multitude of bosses that are specifically vulnerable to instant death effects. You can Break (turn to stone) Carbunkle after he starts healing himself, because that is an invisible formchange of his which loses his immunities. Same for Twin Tania, who charges up a devastating attack which will gently caress you up - but loses his instant death resistance. You can do anything to him in that form, including the super powerful Level 5 Death which kills anything with a level a multiple of five - and the form change turns Twin Tania into a level 25 monster. Instead of making every boss categorically immune to level 5 death, the developers instead opted to make every single boss other than the ones they want you to use it on a level that's not divisible by five - that's dedication to letting their toolbox work. And you can make it work, because you can alter enemy levels! The final boss has four parts. One of which is vulnerable to instant death, one can be paralysed, one can be silenced, one can be blinded. Status effects are ridiculously useful in FF5. Now how would you know about any of this? WELL. Bringing us back to the "conveyance" problem.

I got the original Unreal recently and tried it out a bit, it's pretty fun, but "rub your face against every object" is absolutely in full swing. I never know if I'm just super dense with a puzzle or if there's a button somewhere and it's always the latter; just a brick sticking out or like a plate on the ground. I'm just not used to looking for things like that, I'll try to like shoot through the bars of the gate blocking me to hit something that's maybe a switch behind it, I'll even look up, but it's just not the kind of game I can "solve" today. I get lost in the levels because they're super huge and nonlinear, I don't know if the jumping puzzle is mandatory or not, I don't know if I just glitched through the fan pushing me back or if it's intentional (I looked it up, it's the latter, and it's just janky - spent half an hour looking for a way to turn off the fan but you're just supposed to...push through it...sideways?). That's not much of a complaint, it's just how games were back there, trying to find themselves in 3D space, but I don't think I can go back there. A bit of a pity - the shooting itself is fine, and I like the way it does "scans" Metroid Prime-style, that's actually really brilliant!

Kit Walker posted:Is it really so common for players to find themselves stumped because they just don't look up? Any time I can't immediately figure out the solution to some puzzle I'll scour every corner of the room I'm in for hints and that means looking up as well. We joke about enemies in games having incredibly poor sight but maybe that's closer to reality than we'd like to believe  .In a game like Batman: Arkham Asylum, it's far more natural for me to look up because Batman as a vertical fighter is so baked into the game itself. You constantly are expected to get the drop on enemies from above, to look for poo poo to hang from, to grapple up places, it's actually the FIRST solution I check. But I think "looking up" still hasn't quite entered my typical problem solving instinct yet. I just don't play that many games where it's necessary; camera is for keeping track of enemies on the same plane as I am, not look for poo poo above or below.

My Lovely Horse posted:Okay but who doesn't immediately go "let's check the minimap to see where exactly he meant"? Hell, when I played NieR, I already knew that there is SOME fuckery with the fishing, so I was extra careful, and thought maybe the fuckery is that he says "beach" but actually you're supposed to fish at the pier you start out on, because fishing at a pier is more sensible than at a beach anyway. So I tried it at the pier futilely a few times, double super tricking myself into doing the wrong thing. Also I had to look up the fishing controls themselves because they are super easy but completely wrongly explained. The game says you should hit A at the correct time or whatever when ALL you have to do is angle the stick opposite to where daddy Nier is leaning and let the bar run out. You can hit A on the last 15% of it or so to make it go quicker, but if you hit A too early, you instantly gently caress up. It's really dumb.

I have never played any fighting game, so they might as well be random to me. There is a HUGE amount of hidden button combos (and...other hidden things) in SotN, none of which you need to beat the game in any way, most are a neat bonus at best, kinda useless because too hard to input reliably at worst. Alucard's special abilities he always has, and if you know the buttons, you can immediately use them. If you don't know the buttons, you have to wait until scrolls with the buttons spelled out on them unlock in the shop, can be a while into the game, but you'll eventually get them all. Weapon special abilities the game never tells you about, many weapons have one, many have TWO, and some even have extra interactions that don't match the typical pattern. I recently played SotN blind (on the PSP version, never having even seen the Saturn one, so sorry for the misinformation about that), and only knew that there were weapon combos, but didn't want to bother with them, especially not look them up. Eventually, the weapon I was using did...something weird out of nowhere and it seemed awesome so I got curious, and just tried pressing buttons. I eventually stumbled upon the correct combination, tried that with a bunch of other weapons, and quickly found out that there is exactly two combinations that give you the extra effects on 95% of the weapons in the game. So while it is hidden, it's not necessary, it's mostly consistent and you can find out about it on your own. That's fair enough, I think.

Is Aria/Dawn of Sorrow not enough for you? I really enjoy in those games that every time you play, you'll get different Soul drops, or you might decide to actively grind a rare one asap this time, and you have "normal" weapons to use on top of that. Also, contrary to SotN, the Sorrows are not trivial after a point/excluding Garamoth-shaped outliers, so there's actual incentive to get good with your current setup and/or experiment with new ones.

I never ground in Dawn the first time around and it was fine, dunno why you feel you have to. I also didn't fuse anything. Maybe that made it harder, but I felt like the bosses were comparable even on my "get everything" runs later. They "just" take a bit longer, which is fine as they're mostly fair.

I'm slightly salty because I haven't been excited for a videogame in quite a while now, mostly deliberately, but I really wanted to play Spyro. I didn't pay attention to release dates like usual but decided to check early in November because I felt like it should come out soon, or maybe it was already? Learned that it was supposed to have come out already in mid-October, but they pushed it back to mid-November, so that was a bit of a bummer, but otoh something to look forward to! And it wasn't like I had the initial October date in mind anyway, so that's nice. Then the day before it comes out, something else crosses my mind. I think I want it on PC because my Steam library is quite full but empty of things I actually WANT to play, but I do have a Switch here and maybe Spyro on the go? So I check if it's actually on Switch, and... ...oh. My PS4 is back in Germany  . gently caress me for assuming that things just come out on all platforms, I guess. I'm 100% sure that it will be on both Switch and PC eventually, but it's still a bit annoying.

I'm also playing TWEWY right now, and I decided to go through it without any grinding it doesn't encourage me to, and it works just fine; I just cannot equip almost anything from the shops, which is fine because it doesn't feel necessary at all. Everything with a substantial bonus, Neku isn't man enough to wear anyway for a long time. I don't know how the game will end and how it's structured, but it heavily hints at there being an extensive postgame and/or NG+, considering the highest difficulty option hasn't even been unlocked yet (and I feel like I'm heading towards the endgame), a huge number of sidequests/-activities so far were extremely missable and seemed impossible to do without prior knowledge anway, and the insane amount of stuff I have no way of buying/wearing without doing the world's most idiotic grind for no reason. I'm looking forward to seeing how much it opens up after beating the story, and then I'll decide how much I want to do. The best thing about it is probably how much of this freedom it allows the player: no random encounters, no set difficulty for them, completely open about all drop chances which you can directly influence...of course there's a lot that's still hidden (like when and how pins will evolve), but overall it feels completely honest for better or worse*, and that's quite refreshing. *the style and themes are ridiculous, but that's part of the charm as well in a way.

FactsAreUseless posted:In Final Fantasy 12 you can take airships between major cities. You can choose to either just fade to black and arrive instantly, or actually ride the airship. The airship is basically a small cruise ship with bars, shops, rooms, even a viewing deck where you can see the world pass by below. There's no reason for it to exist and there's no reason to ever use it, but I'm so glad it's there. Apart from that hilarity, there's also a sidequest where you have to ride all the possible routes the airships can take and talk with each of the flight attendants there, because there's seven sisters doing the job and they're pestered by seven brothers who want to marry them, and there's a bet that if you can speak to all the sisters, they don't have to marry the brothers, who they hate. If you manage to win the bet for the sisters, they give you some actually kinda nice stuff!

I don't think you all have even played Final Fantasy 12. It's a game that consists entirely of optional challenges, the rewards of which scale linearly with how difficult and obscure they are, and depending on how you go about things, you conceivably do a whole lot of them at level 1 and within an hour into the game. The game is absolutely, 100% open and free for you to gently caress around in, and just because you CAN kill a giant fuckoff dinosaur from the word go [after doing three hours of prepwork], doesn't mean you SHOULD, and 99% of people playing FF12 will instantly understand this because the dino will hand their loving rear end to them. Nobody except for people who really like FF12 even know that the Seitengrad exist, and of those, only 1% will be idiotic enough to try and get it, and hopefully MOST will be smart enough to look up the RNG manipulation method some even greater weirdos have posted on the internet. Its existance is not a problem unless you remove the entire context of the game to make some weird point about games in general on the internet. Like, one could argue that "the most optimal way to play" is to get Vaan to Level 99 the very moment you gain the ability to leave town, and you can do that, and everybody else will also join at Level 99 afterwards, and the game will be super easy. Ulililia has made a video series detailing that process, and he also made another video to show how you can do the same with Vaan and Penelo, and later with Vaan, Balthier and Fran in the party. It takes about 30 hours. But you can! And then you're the highest level with the highest number! How dare the game designers not prevent the player from doing such an obviously idiotic thing by for example capping the level per story chapter? FF13 did that. And it loving sucked.

Zodiac Age is an extremely good game, but in one way the people whining about it that never even played it are correct: it does test your self-control. If you feel the need to do every sidequest and optional thing as it becomes available, you will a) get burned out severely b) get your teeth kicked in If you are able to pace yourself, can say "I will do this later when I'm stronger...or never", and accept that yes, there's still some boneheaded decisions left over from the original FF12, then it's a wonderful game where you can do exactly as much or as little you want to do. But really, again, do all of the optional stuff when it interests you, when you're strong enough for it, or never.

FactsAreUseless posted:All four Wario Lands are extremely good WL1 is a bit dated but really not bad for a GB platformer, WL4 is also great but you really gotta love obscure secrets and replaying it a bunch to get ALL the content. Amazing when it was new and I had it on GBA on a skiing trip for the long evening of aching muscles. *I got it on 3DS virtual console last year and had a blast replaying

RareAcumen posted:Yeah, people being too smugh and GIT GUD about poo poo lead to the only information anyone had about game being 'it hard, game hardest no handhold hard game, game no baby you game hardest hard game for real gamers hard' so no one had any actual information to use going into it so of course situations like 'I guess 2 damage an attack is how this works' and 'I guess the enemies are just this tough in this game as they go to the graveyard' because what other game puts enemies that dangerous so close to the starting area? Fallout: New Vegas? Bonus: my companion got killed by the bear, then I finished the bear, and I got free awesome loot! Even jankier game Two Worlds has zero gating for everything so you constantly run into extremely difficult encounters. Fortunately, you are invincible when backstepping, so you can win against everything by just hitting the backstep button a lot. I once beat up a gate guard who was mouthing off with this tactic, gaining me access to a rebel camp way earlier than I was supposed to, and they all acted like I had killed the king for them, really good poo poo. And less western, you can just immediately walk to a lategame town in Final Fantasy 2, IF you can handle the monsters along the way. quote:Anyway, I'm pretty sure there's a Zweihander in the graveyard but I don't know about a holy weapon. Was there a whip that was holy over there or something? Funny story about that: I too started with the Master Key in my first time playing DS, opened the door with it, and after years of playing Zelda, thought that lost me the key and I didn't actually want that, maybe it'd be way more useful on a later door?! So I made a new character, didn't pick the Master Key so I couldn't accidentally lose it (I know, weird logic), and never sequence broke again.
