Pryce posted:Okay, so I finally finished AC:Brotherhood last night and will be working my way through Assassin's Creed: Revelations before I move onto AC3. Anyone got suggestions to share? I'm not looking to 100% the game, just get through the story, but if there are any side missions that'll make that process easier, I'd be much obliged. When you get to bomb-making, you want smoke bombs (the break-on-impact shells, large area), Datura Bombs (ditto) and the noise-maker bombs (can't remember the name, but same; impact shells and large area powder). These three will see you through the entire game.

The Mediterranean Defense metagame is entirely pointless, except for the lone achievement.

The first person missions are pure story, dumb platforming, and kinda lovely.

The story itself is alright in of itself, but The Lost Archive DLC puts the first-person puzzles to much better use in something that's actually fun. (Get the Platinum or Ottoman Edition if you can, they have most of the DLC tossed in.)

The plasma cutter still owns. The Javelin Launcher is pretty cool. It can be used to impale enemies against walls (so can the arms you rip off of them  ), and the secondary fire electrifies the javelins you've already thrown. I'm not sure how much damage the alt fire does, but it has good stopping power.

upperthorax posted:Just got Dead Space 2. Any good armor/weapon tips? The trip mines are very, very good for the few areas in the game where it is blatantly obvious that YOU SHOULD USE MINES, but they're by no means essential. The pulse rifle might be the most boring weapon (in comparison to the rest, anyway) but it is very very handy at medium and long ranges. Plus, its alt fire isn't useless this time around!

Thanks for the info, guys. I remember the plasma cutter being the go-to weapon in DS1. I never used the plasma rifle in 1 so I'll give it a go. The grenade secondary fire sounds way better than that alt fire, 360 degree spray from 1.

The Assault Rifle has a new secondary fire instead of the rotating barrels it had in the first game; It now fires grenades. The Force Gun also got a bit of an upgrade and is now a great close-quarters weapon in tight spaces.

I know not to level Aeris Enemy Skill materia is godlike, if you plan to breeze through the game learn how to get at least 3 of the 4 of them that are in the game. Additionally, look up where you can get the skills white wind and big guard. The most important thing I can recommend is if you don't know the plot (i.e. only know if it through internet hearsay) you need to know that you are playing a game with unreliable narrators. Most of the people who think FFVII has a confusing plot/story do so because they don't grasp this and think the story just changes on them arbitrarily.

Bolverkur posted:I'm playing Final Fantasy 7 on my Vita, first playthrough believe it or not. Any gameplay tips for Materia, etc? I know not to level Aeris Get the Choco\Mog Materia from the Chocobo Ranch (Talk to the chocobo by the left fence). It never stops being useful. When you get the first E.Skill and Manipulate Materia through story events, start going back to earlier areas and using Manipulate on creatures to get their buff spells. You specifically want Big Guard (Magic Barrier, Physical Barrier AND Haste, party-wide. The shoreline hermit crabs near where you'll get Manipulate have this) and White Wind (Group-heal for the caster's current health. The big green birds around the second open area use it. You'll know them when you see them). Oh, E.Skill Materia works by learning skills when they're cast on the wearer. You can't transfer skills between E.Skill Materia by casting on each other, you have to get a enemy to do it. All this takes place in areas right after leaving Midgar, but I've kept it vague just because I've no idea where you actually are at or what you know of FFVII's plot and locations.

I asked the chap about his reasons for wanting to buy, and he assured me he wouldn't change much, just improve it. I have no plans whatsoever to sell it, though. The information contained on the wiki is all yours - I just host it, and the hosting costs are ridiculously low since I get 200 visitors a day. I don't really feel as if I can sell what isn't mine, regardless. It wouldn't be as full of information or as regularly visited if it weren't for this thread.

McCoy Pauley posted:Building off of the Borderlands 2 advice above, anything to keep in mind as I start in on True Vault Hunter mode? I finished the first playthrough at about level 33, without much trouble. I just beat Boom Bewm in TVH, and that mode is kicking my rear end. Playing as Axton, to the extent it makes a difference. About 2/3rds of the way through the game you get two quests from the sheriff in Sanctuary - the first will be as he's standing in front of four mostly-identical dudes. Do not do (or even accept) these quests until you've finished PL2 and hit level 50 to unlock PL2.5; where everything is scaled up to 50. That quest and the one after it give a gun with a shield with unique melee-enhancement bonuses which are invaluable to melee-focus characters. If you even accept them early, the rewards won't be level 50. No other quest really offers any especially valuable/irreplacable loot so do whatever you want with them.

President Ark posted:About 2/3rds of the way through the game you get two quests from the sheriff in Sanctuary - the first will be as he's standing in front of four mostly-identical dudes. There are a couple addendums I need to make, to make this advice general: 1) Only the first quest is actually given by the sheriff, and shows up around the 1/3 point of the game. The second is from one of four people in a Mexican standoff near the entrance to the city, and doesn't appear until later. 2) There's no reason not to do those quests in the first playthrough. 3) Only the reward from the second quest is actually unique to that quest. The reward from the first can also be dropped by a certain miniboss, so it's only kind of annoying if you accept the first quest early. 4) Zero and Gaige are the only two characters with any melee specialization to speak of, so pay this whole thing absolutely no mind if you're not one of them or if you think it would be stupid to specialize for melee attacks in a game about awesome guns. 5) On Playthrough 2, the second quest shows up at something like level 48 anyway. A level 48 version of the reward is totally usable at 50, as long as you're okay with being the slightest bit unoptimized. 5) If you're on the PC and don't mind bending the rules a little, it's relatively easy to permanently alter the level of items. Normally I wouldn't condone that behavior, but in the case of an neat, one-time only item like Order, it would hardly be a terrible thing to shift a few bits around.

Playing Assassin's Creed III, and is there a good reason to hang on to the animal parts I've been getting from hunting, or am I ok to sell them all to merchants? I'm not too far in, just unlocked crafting, so I reckon they're used in recipes, but do I need them for anything vital? I'd rather just sell them than hoard them, and I don't care about powergaming or unlocking the most powerful equipment if it's going to be particularly tedious. On a similar note, is there any general non-spoiler stuff I ought to know about crafting? Basic principles or particularly good recipes, that kind of thing? I'd ask these questions in the AC3 thread but I'm too paranoid about spoilers to go near it.

You can get at least the gun (not sure about the shield) as a drop from the Sheriff in Lynchwood. Also he can totally do them in his PL1, he just needs to remember not to do them in PL2 if he doesn't want to grind the Sheriff for it.

In Immortal Defense, does turning the difficulty down affect the story at all, or does it just lower your high score? I've heard many good things about the story, but I'm not so great at tower defense games.

There are some folks that will ask you for a laundry list of pelts and whatnot, so I'd keep some spares handy, but other than that, they're free money, so far as I can tell. The AC3 thread is a squalid den of spoilers and misery, best stay away if you can't resist spoiler tags, and some early things are being talked about taglessly.

Gunt McBadpost posted:Dead Island doesn't seem to have a wiki entry. Does anyone have any starting tips? Probably best to go with the black guy as a character because most of the weapons you end up using are blunt. There are some less than stellar levels and for those I suggest grouping up with people just to make it more fun. As in if you see yourself going into a sewer see who is online. Somewhere on your skill tree is the option to stomp on a zombies head to insta kill them. Zombies fall down a lot so go for that skill. When you come across tough zombies its probably best to break their arms so they can't do much. Play on an xpad or find that mod that lets you use analog on your mouse. The point of the game is swinging at enemies with clubs and knives and if you are just left clicking that isnt much fun. It also makes it easier to break and chop off arms.

Goofballs posted:Probably best to go with the black guy as a character because most of the weapons you end up using are blunt. Actually any character besides Purna or whatever the gun chick is called is perfectly viable and fun, in different ways. Later in the game, once she's skilled up a bit, the blades chick becomes a maniacal jumping one shot machine and the throwing guy just tosses his entire inventory at enemies and they all die before getting anywhere near him. Plus, his combat skill tree makes him probably the most "all-rounder" of characters. Just don't play Purna. Guns are not very frequent and not very useful either. I mean, late in the game their frequency gets higher but they're just not particularly great most of the time.

All I'm saying is that you don't necessarily have to use blunt weapons for most of the game. Hell, on both the blades chick and the throwing guy, I only ever used blunt weapons for finishing off grounded zombies before getting the stomp and finishing off de-armed big guys.
