Draile posted:As with most King's Field games, it's hardest at the beginning. Take it slow and scrounge for earth herbs until you have unlocked healing water, which will be a few levels in. A trickle of water in the first real cave area functions as a limited healing fountain you can use until then. Thanks for this! Its pacing is so much better than KF2, I'm enjoying it. I knew I was playing a KF game when the first thing I did was boot it up, walk 10 feet, and fall into a lava trap. I didn't know what the hell happened because I was too busy staring at the monsters ahead. . and it was until later I discovered it was a lava trap only after I stomped all over it dying all again.

sebmojo posted:I am just embarking on the crazed French cyberpunk feverdream that is EYE Divine Cybermancy; what should I know? I have just got to the big base place, about ten minutes in. The big thing with weapons is whether they will do anything against armor. You need to have the ability to counteract armored units once you get to Mars. The Bear Killer (giant pistol) is a very effective choice for this role. Figure out which guns you want to go for early and make sure you work towards the stat requirements. The character creation is weird, I would really just refresh it until none of your numbers look bad. Mental balance can be made irrelevant by research though so don't sweat that one. Guns are very accurate in general, more so than you'd be used to. Difficulty is pretty customizable. gently caress with it until you find something you like. Research the medikit as soon as possible. Always try to be researching something, it's pretty helpful poo poo if you keep up on it. There's not a lot of point to the faster research speeds, it moves along at a pretty decent clip regardless. Reloading is done like BF1942. You lose all ammo left in the clip. Be smart about it.

Just bought Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition for cheap on steam. Never played it before, put about 30 mins into it so far as a human warrior (yes boring) and I'd love some essential tips. The combat isn't what I'm used to and if there are any skills to avoid or get quickly let me know. Any other advice is greatly appreciated too. Thanks!

The combat isn't what I'm used to and if there are any skills to avoid or get quickly let me know. Any other advice is greatly appreciated too. Thanks! Learn about using tactics. The scope is too big to go into here, but it's well worth reading about since it takes a lot of the micromanagement out of combat. Typical annoyances are not using potions correctly, and spellcasters / archers switching to melee weapons. First can be fixed with proper tactical setup, second can be solved by simply unequipping any melee weapon. You must specialize. Don't be a jack of all trades. Either be the board-and-sword tank, drawing all aggro or dual wield dps. Two-handed spec is weaker than either of those. I almost can't play as other than a rogue, because I hate passing by locked chests and DA:O does not do the logical thing and let your main use the highest lockpick skill of any char in the current group, so it's cumbersome. If that's not a big deal to you, then keep on keeping on. Most quests can be solved multiple ways, but the game is really about the character so don't worry about save scumming to get the "ideal" result, just have fun. Oh, and in the city to the mid-lower left, talk to everyone everywhere before the battle.

Two handers arent very good. e: I'd recommend getting a respec mod, just because shapeshifter on Morrigan is useless. There's also a mod that gives Sten his additional Specialization point which is good if you want to use him (for some reason he just doesn't get his first one).

Seconding this. First time I played through I went sword'n'board because I hardly ever do, but I wanted to do decent damage too so I ended up as an average tank who did average damage. Should've just sucked it up and been the heroic large rock on wheels my party really needed.

PonchAxis posted:What should I know about Soul Hackers on the 3DS? I haven't beaten the game or anything, so I don't know about any mid to late game things, but here's what I do know. Your main character will never be able to use Magic, so choose your stats appropriately. Nemissa is ridiculously overpowered with Magic, so choose her stats appropriately. Don't play it the same as other SMT games. Instead, try to use the fewest amount of Demons necessary, as they will suck up your MAG and that is your best source of money in the game. I generally only run around with like, one auto attack demon and maybe one magic demon. On bosses, I would bring in a support or healer demon. Your demon's personalities dictate how to raise their loyalty. Dumb demons increase loyalty via giving them the Go command. Wild demons like to physically attack. Sly demons like to magically attack (although I've noticed that despite this, they still won't loyalty up). Kind demons like to cast heal/support spells, or just use the Guard command. Calm demons like to do the most optimal thing (I have no idea what this really means). Sly and Calm demons are the hardest to increase loyalty, so if you want to increase their loyalty, give them the booze that changes them to Kind demons, then have them Guard. Playing the casino will give you equipment that will break the game. Getting some of the Mystic Change items will not really break the game, but will give you a huge advantage. Nekomata is a particularly good candidate for this. Play this game wearing mirrorshades because it is 90s cyberpunk as gently caress.

Economics-wise, don't buy anything at shops that you don't absolutely need or want, the vast majority of items are overpriced crap that will be obsoleted a couple of hours later. Buy all the extra inventory space items, as well as any basic crafting supplies to keep your potion reserves high.

NaDy posted:All good info for DA, thanks guys. I hadn't heard of tactics at all so I'll look into it. Two things that messed me up at first. Focus fire whenever possible, killing or disabling enemy casters first. Also, I took "don't dabble with talents, choose a spec" to mean ONLY use weapons of your spec. For example Alistair was my tank (sword and shield) and my main was a dual-wielding rogue. At first I only used appropriate weapons because I thought "why use ones my talents don't support?" However, battles started getting a bit easier when I put ranged weapons in their secondary slots. Soften up enemies at range first whenever possible. You can swap weapons at any time without penalty - only thing to keep in mind is that some of your upkeep talents may shut off (like Shield Wall - it turns off if you don't have a shield equipped).

Casters dominate in DA but that drat archer ability that causes an arrow to split and paralyze everyone is loving ridiculous. The enemy will use it against you every chance so get it ASAP and turn the drat tables. And I found 2-handed swords to be far superior to sword and board. Sten practically solo'ed dragons while my fully armored mage supported from the rear.

I played Star Ocean 4: International a bit, and honestly couldn't stand it anymore, but I figured I'd write up a few things I did that would help others wanting to play this.
EXP Expenditure - Level up Reimi's gathering first. Don't worry too much about combat skills; they are awesome early on but unnecessary. Focus on getting the crafting/gathering/item drop rate +% skills up first, as they will increase your experience gain (and allow you to complete quests easier). With the above strategy about the Bonus Board, you will be getting 14 exp per battle; by the time I finished Aeos I had probably gained close to 1000 party exp (but I did a lot of farming for the quest drops so YMMV) Quests - You probably want to look up a guide on these, but you should do them. They give ridiculous amounts of party experience early on, and you will always need pEXP. They range from collect X amount of thing to find my lost cat so buckle down for boring poo poo! Bosses - I actually didn't know this but before you beat a boss, save your game to a different slot. After you beat a boss, save your game and then reload the other save and fight the boss again. Do this until your monster data for the boss is 100% (it'll take about four fights). Once you do this you have generally pretty useful crystal data to equip to someone. That's honestly all I got because I couldn't take it anymore, the voice acting (in BOTH languages) and the amount of creepy mundane poo poo they were throwing at me just broke me down.

RenegadeStyle1 posted:How about The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion? I have played all of them except Arena and this one and I picked it up to try it out. Anything different than the other games? There's lots of mods that may or may not improve the game for you. I recommend you give the basic game a shot before using them. If I'm being honest, you should just make a stealth character, do the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood, and then go at Nehrim or something instead. But if you want to do more than that, don't try to do everything on one character. The level scaling without mods starts to get out of control at level 20 or so and everything turns into a huge wall of health, so that sucks. Also if you want to do the main quest, do it up to the Kvatch battle as soon as possible, because level scaling makes it really annoying.

The best advice I can give is to ignore most advice you get. Go to the Nexus, play around and see which mods interest you. Every veteran TES PC player has changed their game in ways they can no longer play the game without. You will be better served if you yourself figure out what the game holds for you, if anything, then work your way through the modding and character planning the way you want to.

I breezed through XCOM on normal difficulty but I cannot get past the first terror mission on classic. I focus on satellites the first 2 months which leaves me with a squad of 4 and standard equipment and I get torn to pieces by the Chryssalids. Any suggestions for terror missions on the higher difficulties, especially the first few when squad size and equip is highly lacking?

JaggerMcDagger posted:Any useful tips for Ni No Kuni? It seems pretty straight forward, but I just want to make sure I don't screw myself or something. The Mite you start with is going to be your go-to guy for a good long time. Get him into his second form as early as possible (level 13, I think) to save a much harsher re-leveling experience (all evolved familiars reset to level 1, as do most tamed ones when they join your party). The Lemur you get a little ways in is great as well for laying down constant damage. He won't seem that way early on, but a few levels tacked onto him will make the little guy into a competent asskicker. Defense-boosting candies will also go a long way to helping him too. Once you get the second party member, give them a familiar that knows Defense so they can guard during the nastier enemy/boss moves.

JaggerMcDagger posted:Any useful tips for Ni No Kuni? It seems pretty straight forward, but I just want to make sure I don't screw myself or something. It is a pretty straightforward game. The biggest hurdle is having to babysit your party because they don't make very good decisions. You either leave their magic on and they blow their load instantly, or you turn it off and severely gimp yourself in combat. Leave it on. It's annoying at first and MP items are ridiculously expensive but eventually you'll get... The alchemy pot! You can make all the super expensive items cheaply with the alchemy pot. Here's a big thing: before leaving on the ship, speak to a woman on the docks of castaway cove. She'll give you a poo poo ton of recipes but it's easy to miss her completely. You can build any item manually but the game doesn't save manual recipes so talking to this woman is a real time saver. With the alchemy pot in mind, don't sell anything. Dragon Quest 8 rules are in full effect and practically everything can be combined into something else. Money sucks for the first 10 hours but you'll be cheating the merchants with the alchemy pot. You'll also find three kinds of chests in the background. One type can be opened with the unlock spell, one is always out of your reach and can't be opened until you get your third member, and the other can't be opened until you get a new wand late in the game. Use a guide if you want to backtrack to save time. Finally, recruiting monsters is completely random. Monsters also appear on the world map randomly so if you're trying to fight a specific monster just save and reload. Try to play to a character's specific affinity (each character does better with a specific type of monster) but also keep in mind that Oliver is always the default character and the most versatile. If you give Oliver all the monsters with healing or spells then the AI teammates won't be contributing much and you'll probably die. There's also some techniques in kiting monsters in combat you should experiment with. It's possible for a fast monster to dance around a monster and dodge every attack. Monsters with poor accuracy are dreadful in combat and you should use items to boost their accuracy or dump them.

There are some Ni No Kuni tips on the wiki as well: http://beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Ni_No_Kuni:_Wrath_Of_The_White_Witch I'll highlight this point, which I wish I had known right when I started evolving familiars: Most familiars will be able to evolve to the next stage before they've learned all of the tricks for their current stage, so it's probably a good idea if you let a familiar get to the level at which they've learned all of the tricks they can before you evolve them.

Cave Story has three endings: 1). A Normal ending that you'll get if you just play through the game normally. 2). A Bad ending, which is obtained by answering an obvious question in an obvious way. 3). A True ending that has a few anal requirements but is absolutely worth getting: -This isn't required for the True ending, but I recommend NOT giving Curly the Polar Star for the Machine Gun. Instead hang onto the Polar Star, and later on when you get the Booster v2.0 go all the way back to the first cave at the beginning of the game and talk to the gunsmith to trade the Polar Star for the Spur. -When you see Prof. Booster fall down a shaft, instead of falling down after him you must jump over the chasm and ignore him completely. If you fall down after him, reload and try again. -Before fighting the Core, you must go down into the lower right hand corner and pick up the tow rope. -After fighting the Core, tie Curly to yourself with the tow rope. -In the Waterway, you must leap out of the water into the shack with the save point. You then have to place Curly on the bed, read the books to learn how to pump water out of a robot, pump the water out of Curly, and then pick her back up. The game seems to imply you should leave Curly behind, but you absolutely must take her with you. She'll still wind up floating away after the Fish boss, though. -In the Plantation, find Curly with amnesia in the lower right hand corner. Go back to the Mimiga Village and go into the cemetery and find the talking mushroom in the room in the upper right. He tries to mislead you in his conversation; keep talking to him until you get to fight him. Once you do, take the mushroom back to Curly and feed it to her. -After beating the Final Four bosses, while the Island is collapsing, enter the prefab building. Save, fall into the hole, and finish off the secret dungeon. It's a short game, and if you get the Normal ending, you will definitely want to get the True ending. Besides the steps above, you should be warned that it's a lot harder than the Normal one. Good luck! Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Apr 30, 2013 |

Focusing on satellites is absolutely the right call, but it's worth rethinking your research order if you've still got basic gear by the first terror mission. Getting lasers helps immensely, it's worth making Weapon Fragments your first research task, followed by Beam Weapons. 2 or 3 laser rifles make dealing with Chrysalids a lot easier, as well as being able to reliably one-shot Floaters. Bring a heavy or two or a sniper (most of the terror mission maps have decent spots for a squadsight sniper) and you're probably set.
