A Steampunk Gent posted:Alot of people just seem to be very self-conscious about any guitar music with lyrics, as seen with all the awkward justifications for liking Metal Gear Rising: REVENGENACE's incredible soundtrack, as it is too 'buttrock' and not serious enough Nah, I don't need to make any awkward justifications about Revengeance's soundtrack, it's amazing. XCX's on the other hand is garbage and I might just mute it and listen to the first game's instead Edit: Inflammatory posted:i want to watch someone who complains about the xcx soundtrack play persona 3/4 or twewy. I didn't mind it so much in Persona 3 and 4, because the singing in those is incomprehensible so I can't tell if it's good or bad, it pretty much just becomes part of the music

Infinity Gaia posted:Quick question, I'm considering actually buying a Wii U just so I can play this game (and Hyrule Warriors), will the digital version fit in the 32 GB default hard drive or is an external an absolute necessity? I know the download size is supposedly 23 GB, which WOULD fit, but sizes for console HDs can be tricky sometimes. Just wanna make sure here. If you're planning on getting the Hyrule Warriors dlc then I'm not sure you'll be able to fit all of it and XCX at the same time.

Huh, interesting, you can sell items straight from your inventory, wherever you are. No need to have anyone around to sell them to. I'm not sure how that works, but I'm not complaining

When I move near a person with a speech bubble over their head, there's a visual effect like a glint of light flying from them to me. What is this? The game didn't say anything about it, and I can't find anything in the manual, all it says about these people is that I'll overhear a conversation if I go near them, which is pretty obvious. I don't think it's an affinity thing, these people aren't named characters.

Motto posted:There are certain quests that are triggered when you overhear people talking about them. Oh, okay. It's kind of hard to tell that's what it is when it first starts happening, since none of the other stuff shown in that video is unlocked yet. I don't have the frontier map yet, and the "missions" option in the menu is greyed-out and unselectable. I hope that when this stuff does get unlocked, I'll still have whatever quest info these random people I passed were apparently giving me!

Augus posted:Hey so I beat Chapter 3 and a bunch of dudes joined my party out of nowhere, but I don't know where they are. How do I fix this? Look at your map. Some areas of NLA should have "new" labels scattered around, tap them to see what you can find in those places. Some of them will tell you that a character usually hangs out there, others will be missions you can pick up at those spots. To switch between the different parts of NLA on the map you have to back out to the whole world view, the NLA districts will be on the right. This is also how you fast travel back to NLA from outside, since someone was asking about that earlier.

Crimson Harvest posted:Has anyone made any goon squads yet? I want to see all your retarded names on my screen and vote for stupid comments. You can't really make a squad yourself. It's kind of like how Splatoon worked before they added private lobbies, you see a list of friends who are in game and can choose to join whatever squad they're in. So far, I haven't seen more than two people in my list in the same squad, everyone's been spread out.

I found an NPC named Monica on the lower level of the administrative district who told me the locations of a couple of rare collectibles. She also said to ask her again later for more info, so I'm hoping this is a thing and she'll keep giving out info like this for different items as I get further into the game! Here's the stuff she told me about: California Sunset can be found west of Biahno Lake near a cave, spherical EM motors are in the Weeping Whitewood area in Noctilum

Med School posted:Where's this chick at? Couldn't find her in the hanger. Go north from the Blade barracks, past the turning that goes to Armory Alley. On your left you'll find an elevator that takes you down to the lower level. Yeah, it took me several days to notice that there was a lower level. She's down there somewhere. Also, after talking to the two guys next to her I realised I'd done a quest involving these three earlier outside the city, had to find one of the guys and then find his comms unit, so you might need to have done that before they show up in the city?

There's one thing I don't understand about the revelation at the end of chapter 5. I get that everyone's real bodies are in stasis and they're remote-operating these cyborg bodies with their minds, okay. But the game begins with Alma pulling your character out of a stasis pod. Shouldn't this be your real body then? Also holy poo poo that scene really suffered badly from having a silent protagonist.

Pomp posted:some of you guys are valuing a few dozen points of attack power way too much, a lot of the other equipment bonuses will get you just as much or more mileage, like TP gain and stuff that works off arts. The stuff that increases soul voice odds probably does wonders when you can get it at decent percentages too. Yeah seriously, I have several pieces of gear with Max TP Up and its pretty great being able to use TP arts and still have enough to revive someone or use overdrive if I need to. Goes well with the Duelist(?) ability that uses your TP to raise the rest of the party's too.

Dastardly posted:Oh yeah, this is essentially how you use your storage, duplicator and booster probes to increase your cap. I just tossed this together when I found out that Boosters works on storage probes today so you don't have to use these continents for it. I need to redo my entire network once I've found all chests out in the wild. Wow, putting all your storage probes around a duplicator really is the way to go, I just went from a max of a little over 12,000 to 30,000. Now I can afford... three extra augment slots at a time  Edit: rejigged things so I had a booster hooked up to my (so far only) duplicator and went up to 37,500 Suaimhneas fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Dec 11, 2015 |

Levantine posted:So what do Booster probes do exactly? I have one but I'm not sure how to use them. Do they keep a chain going for the purpose of the bonus % of linked probes? Booster probes increase the effect of any adjacent probes by a percentage, I think 10% for the rank 1s? Duplicator probes copy (ie: double) the effect of any adjacent probes. Boosters increase the effect of duplicators, so the best way to use them seems to be to plant a duplicator at a spot where four lines meet, then hook it up to a booster and three other probes (research, storage, mining, whatever) for huge gains.

A Steampunk Gent posted:I'm pretty sure she says something about her skin being really dry and peeling and then having a strong urge to have a shower, after it's clear the monsters in the plant are the former scientists who succumbed to some kind of body horror infection. Made sense to me at least when given the option to keep her in sight and stop her doing anything stupid. At the very least I thought it was one of the better multiple choice quests because the information you need to get the good ending is contained within the same scenario, unlike say the helicopter quest in Noctilum where you can only bad bad endings unless you overhear a random NPC in NLA Yeah I know, I made the same choice, I just couldn't resist such an easy joke On a related note, when I got that quest about rescuing the tree clan guy's son, I already had a bunch of the herbs just from random exploring. Now I wonder if I still would've got the prompt to use them if I hadn't got the info by rescuing the other two guys first?

Reiterpallasch posted:I assume you mean killing the spiders while driving a skell? Can my starting skell seriously one-shot a level 50 mob at 25? I was just about two-shotting level 50 spiders with those kind of augments at level 30, with the Amdusias and its scythe. I don't know about doing it with the starting skell, but if those are too hard then there's some spiders at around level 40 on Talon Rock's third terrace that you should certainly be able to manage. Don't forget to make some melee accuracy and ranged accuracy augments too or you'll miss a lot. I managed to find Weeping Whitewood by going up on one of those huge rock bridges above the central area of Noctilum and jumping the gap in my skell. It needed a driving start to build up speed but I managed it! Then I discovered there was an easier way up there from near a ganglion camp, but gently caress it my way was cooler
