So in that final area to they just expect you to do what i did and quick-save, cloak run through everything find a spot to stop and do it over and over again? Hopefully without getting into a situation where you literally cannot pass by without bumping into sombody and screwing the whole thing up.

If you're like me you might have enough energy bars ad protein buckets saved up to make it through the whole section just shoveling them into your mouth.

Hopefully without getting into a situation where you literally cannot pass by without bumping into sombody and screwing the whole thing up. The final area does not botch Foxiest at all, even if the enemies spot you and go Hostile. It will ruin Pacifist if you kill anyone, and ALSO if you knock someone out in the final boss fight and they get electrocuted afterwards (but not if they get electrocuted without you laying a finger on them). In addition, it's possible to completely bug out all the enemies if you get spotted and then jump on top of a high unreachable platform, and then turn on/off your cloak. For whatever reason this sometimes fucks up the entire AI, and after that most if not all of the enemies in the current area and every area afterwards will approach you but won't attack you at all. I've had this happen to me in both my playthroughs on PC. Office Thug fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Jul 12, 2014 |

Well, you are essentially dealing with zombies so they won't trigger alarms. I would be cautious about any robots, turrets and such though.

Office Thug posted:I got Foxiest and Pacifist (along with most of the non-DLC achievements) in a single Deus Ex difficulty run and basically did it by performing only take-downs. I punched out literally every single hostile in the game by the end of it, except the ones in the final areas. I got both Foxiest and Pacifist on my first play through of the game and I had so, so much more fun the second time not giving a poo poo if I killed someone or got spotted. The amount of quicksaving and quickloading you need to do to preserve a Foxiest/Pacifist run is frustrating. Also Pacifist is terribly bugged and you can screw it up without even realizing it.

The opening area also counts for a pacifist run which has some difficult scripted sections were enemies are in an advantageous position and you can't knock them out.

Anyone have suggestions for The Red Solstice? I know it sorta just came out but it was originally a WC3 and/or SC2 mod I think. Either way I can tell it handles a lot like DOTA and those sorts of things obviously so any tips for getting into it would be appreciated.

skooma512 posted:I got the God of War trilogy for the PS3. It isn't as button mashy as you think. The best combo in any of the games is Square, Square, Triangle. Large damage, stun, and easy to get off. The combos are not that complicated. Most combos are press Square until you feel like pressing Triangle. Dodge. Learn it, love it, do it every chance you get. Learn to time blocks. When you level up the blades enough or get certain items it allows you to counter attack out of a block. The counter attacks are usually good. You gain bonus experience when you combo hits together. Usually multiples of 10. Doesn't seem like much but it really adds up. In the second and third game you start getting more experience from executions (Circle). You will die. Sometimes in extremely stupid ways. It happens. Level up area of effect magic. Poseidon's Rage in the first one, Krono's Rage in the second. I don't remember what the third is. Using these will make your combo counter orgasm. If you can destroy a door or part of the scenery it makes your controller vibrate. This is helpful with finding secrets. A lot of the secrets are tricks with the camera. Don't worry about missing health and magic upgrades. There are more chances to get upgrades than what you need. If you find enough to max out early the rest of the chests that would have held them are experience instead. Every game towards the end has a gauntlet of sorts. Just long stretches of combat without a break. The one in the first game is especially bullshit. Don't be scared to use magic as there are chests/orbs during them to refill with. Try to not let the first one turn you off to the series. Three is really good but Two is the true winner. If you have any specific questions I played this game way too loving much.

It'll feel right to do it, though.

Offhand, here's what I remember, others will probably have more: -triad experience is harder to max out than cop experience -get arm/leg break to make crowd control much easier and also they're awesome -use environmental hazards all the time -there's this one mission where you defeat monks at a temple; it's endless and you don't have to keep fighting forever -listen to the radio all the time because it's awesome -for the surveillance missions, I believe you can activate a bunch of cameras before going home so you can just do all the surveillance bits at the same time instead of running home for each one -you're not a man unless you have a pork bun in your hand

All you have to do when it ends is turn around and walk back into the shop to go grab it.

If you are having trouble getting the combat down, visit the dojo and do some of the practise/training stuff. I found it helpful. A lot of it is learning to recognise the 3 basic enemy types; The one who cant be grappled and should be punched a lot, the one who will block strikes and should be grappled and the basic enemy type who you can bat around like a kitten playing with a ball of wool.

With regard to DLC, avoid the Top Dog and High Roller packs if you don't want to pay real money for cop/triad experience and some in-game money. Some of the other costume packs are fun, depending on the tone you want for your game. The game is great because you can almost choose whether it's a gritty blood opera or Saints Row: Hong Kong. The story DLC add ons (Nightmare in North Point and Year of the Snake) take place after the game is over, and have separate save slots. Neither is especially memorable but North Point has some interesting new mechanics. The guy talking about pork buns isn't joking. Always have a buff of some kind, preferably food for the health regen and massages for the face meter bonus. Tea and energy drinks aren't as useful in my experience but they are all cheap and plentiful. You should max Cop and Face XP just from drug busts and favors. Triad XP is harder to max; I hit full after the final mission and I wore the +Triad XP duds for most of the game.

Did they also cut out the last third of the game or something? I beat it last week and the ending felt super abrupt. Good game and all but it really felt like they ran into major problems during production.

Honestly, I think you could probably safely ignore most of the DLC, unless you want some kickin' rad duds or a bunch of cheaty things (and I'm including the fun as hell Wheels of Fury in this too). Also, if you want to trivialize the hand to hand combat, just play it like you would an Assassin's Creed game: Kill with counters. But grabbing and breaking arms/legs is fun as hell too so...? Also, if you're in a firefight, abuse the hell out of bullet time mode. Get behind a box or something, vault over the box and then start unloading on fools, preferable in their head. It has the right sort of feel as a Max Payne game or something.

Sleeping Dogs thing that I brought up in the past and I think is worth including: When the police chase you, shooting out their tires (or even worse, shooting the cops) is just going to increase your wanted level. Ram your car into the police car twice or so, and you'll drive them off the road and drop your wanted level.

I just need to give an unsolicited tip for Dark Souls 2 since beforeiplay requires registration or something: - You'll find one or more of Rings of Life Protection in the game which make you not lose souls when dying, but break. Unlike their equivalent in DS1 however, they do not break for good, but can be repaired at the blacksmith (once you have access to him) for 3000 souls. Not only will wearing such ring save your souls if you die, but it also preserves your humanity status. So while you worry about running out of Human Effigies and whether you have enough of them to keep summoning phantoms for bossfights and whatnot, you can simply wear a Ring of Life Protection permanently all day every day, and only lose 3000 souls (which is still good investment early, and peanuts in the later half of the game) and a trip to the blacksmith if you die. That tactic along with convenience such as trash enemies not respawning endlessly, actually makes DS2 somewhat easier than its predecessor. ps: For killing crystal lizards, Halberds are good. I used a Black Knight Halberd, but I think other ones can do the same downward slash + quick stab combo for reliable instakill. pigdog fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Jul 17, 2014 |

Colossatron is pretty opaque! I like the premise, but I feel like the game communicates nothing about which weapons are best, what enemies are vulnerable to, how much variety to shoot for, etc. Are there any suggestions for what weapons/gadgets to unlock? And does money carry over between "campaigns" even if I fail one? Thanks!

Head Hit Keyboard posted:I'm finally caving to peer pressure. Anyone got tips for Fallout 2 that might be helpful? The first thing you have to do immediately is the Temple of Trials, the first dungeon which turns off many gamers. It kinda sucks to get thrown right into it, trial by fire. Its not too bad though, so persevere! The game gets a bit easier and way more open after. The trick to fighting the early bug monsters is to walk up and hit them, and then move 3 tiles away. Then they'll chase you but run out of energy before they can attack, so now you whack them again and run again. Its like the turn based version of fighting zombies in half-life, there's a whack-move-whack-move rhythm you get into. Intelligence opens up more dialogue options, not Charisma, which is backwards of most RPGs. Intelligence makes you talk good, Charisma helps you get better prices in shops and stuff. Its a big game so don't be afraid to google/wiki stuff, but once you get out into the wasteland you should pick it up. I like to put lots of points into Intelligence, Agility, and Perception, and then get good with small guns early on. Lockpicking is pretty drat useful, as is hacking, more so than Fallout 3 I would say.
