Der Shovel posted:I only just started but the intro is already a god drat experience. Why didn't they bother animating York smoking? He's just sitting there stationary and they dubbed in "takes a drag from his smoke" noises occasionally. Considering that the box for the physical release is in three languages I wonder if they just didn't want to show on-screen marijuana use to avoid having to do separate editions of the game in territories that are more restrictive about that kind of thing. I noticed that they don't actually show York smoking when you use the cigarette items this time and instead it just cuts away to the sky, but he smokes in cutscenes so

Read at your own risk I guess. Quoting myself to say that this did indeed turn out to be a big tip off regarding a late game plot development. Very cool that you can just incidentally stumble across this and come to a conclusion about players in the story way before the plot actually tells you.

The thing is later scenes do show him smoking with an animation, so it feels less like they didn't want to show it and more like they just forgot to put the animation in.

Has the patch fixed the game, or is the blessing still in disguise?

The framerate is awful. The load times are painful. Within the first 10 minutes of the actual game I was talking to a magical skeleton man in a painting. I then met a small town sheriff who talks almost exclusively in movie trailer taglines. I was accosted by angry squirrels. This game is amazing.

I’m not gonna say the framerate is totally fixed but it is a hell of a lot better after today’s patch. Oh thank god there’s a prompt now to hear what York wants to say while skateboarding instead of him babbling constantly StarkRavingMad fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Jul 22, 2020 |

It's sort of like in the first game when you could find george watching Becky's house from across the lake and talking some shady poo poo. Anyway is there a list, like that reddit quest list, that shows where to find what materials yet? For the life of me I can't find catfish skulls and stuff. EDIT: Okay really weird thing; my friend just started the game and his gun is purple. Mine's black. What determines that? Nuebot fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Jul 22, 2020 |

I used a 3rd party pro controller and it was a purple gun, I just assumed it had a wacky color to denote that it was non-lethal like the blue guns in MGSV but that's way cooler.

got a neon green skateboard & neon pink gun, very pleased - have had the game for a while but I haven't even finished chapter 1 yet, spent some time skating around collecting dog skulls; think I'm just gonna blast through the story and some side missions 'cos the crafting elements put me off

Space Cadet Omoly posted:What a strange thing to put in the game That applies to like 80% of the game  I have to say the patch didn't help performance in any noticeable fashion for me. It still runs like a slideshow way too often, and for instance trying to hunt animals loving sucks when they move in 2 meter skips.

The Aaliyah-Simon-Zach sections are starting to grow on me, especially how Simon leans into being Goon Thread Derails incarnate. Like, some people really do have an identity that's 90% arguing about fast food, it's masterfully realist. Reminds me of the multi-character chemistry you had in the police station lunches, back in the first game; imo the York/prequel sections rely a bit too much on him as a sole investigator. Also hey does anyone have input on which special bullet modes are worth it for the gun? I got the AP High Explosive one from a quest and it was disappointing to say the least.

The damage one is amazing, it multiplies rather than adds to your damage. Also if you have armor piercing you can shoot through the doors those big guys carry on their backs which makes them way easier.

Arkannoyed posted:Any advice on hitting the 7-9 split? Getting the ball right between the two pins should do it. There are some items that improve ball control and slow down the power/angle meters as well, a straight shot should be all you need. The Greek Church split at the end took me hours to pull off because I couldn't get the pin action where I needed it.

This game made me happy and the ending was very sweet. I was surprised how Aaliyah becomes sorta sidelined at the end. There's a lot said to get to know her more particularly when Zach's in the bathroom and Simon needles her about her passions in life, but from then on it's all Zach's story. That's not a complaint since I love Zach. Maybe they're laying the groundwork for Aaliyah being the next lead but letting Zach get his proper ending.

But now all the easy stamps are done and the rest suck so I'll just call it quits on the stamps. Maybe someone will find some kind of bullshit "do the konami code while skipping rocks to unlock them all" garbage and I won't ever have to get one hundred game overs.

Any one know how to prove you're a bad enough dude to learn the forbidden skateboard trick? I saw a guide say they unlocked it by running into Emma and I've been doing speed+3 Impossibles into her face for like $106.00 fines and it isn't happening. I'm spending $3000 on assault fines my family is dying please help my budget. Saint Freak fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Jul 27, 2020 |

Just do the last trick she taught you like 100 times or whatever the biggest number in the stamp collection is for it. That's it.
