Ainsley McTree posted:For Nier: Automata: Is this sidequest flowchart from the first nier still relevant? Or are sidequests actually worth doing in this one? There are almost no quests that require you to gather materials, and those that do tell you exactly where to find them and trigger guaranteed drops, but most likely you'll even have the materials already. There are 60 quests and I thought only 2 or 3 weren't worth the effort, none of which require item farming (one is a race, another requires you to encounter every enemy type). Do the sidequests.

Just picked up Fire Emblem: Awakening. I've played the series before but is there any particularly new things I should be aware of? I especially don't want to miss any new recruits, I'm hoping it's pretty obvious who they are/when to get them?

Pairing up is the new mechanic to Awakening and it breaks the balance in half. Regarding recruitable units it's almost always just talk to them with Chrom and even if it's not it's very obvious who to use to recruit them so you're fine there.

I'm not playing Persona 5, but anybody have tips on how to create S-Links with real people? My persona is not very good.

100YrsofAttitude posted:I especially don't want to miss any new recruits S-supports among 1st generation characters is how you get the children characters. The child is based on the mom - Lissa always has Owain as a son, for example - and the father determines hair color, available classes, and stat caps. If you aren't some min-maxing hoe then it doesn't really matter who shacks up with who. This only applies to characters with full support sets, as some characters can only get an S rank with the Avatar and don't have their own child. The Avatar always has a child of their opposite gender (or the gender of their spouse, if you look at it that way) so you're going to have one blushing uguu waifu/husbando. Sumia (the first pegasus knight) has an oddly restricted list of potential husbands, so don't accidentally lock her out by marrying everyone off. Though 2nd generation characters can get S-supports, they don't have children unless their partner is the Avatar, so don't worry about it too much.

Supports was the one thing I was bit anxious about since people like to break games. I'll be happy pairing off those who're convenient. Any advice on DLC, I'm very tempted to pick it all up but that seems silly.

FE4 has a timeskip. Awakening involves time travel, and Fates involves accelerated time in pocket dimensions. It's best not to think about the last two too hard. 100YrsofAttitude posted:Good stuff.

Any advice on DLC, I'm very tempted to pick it all up but that seems silly. The three Scrambles and The Future Past are the only ones that give you more story or character interaction. The golden pack is hardcore grinding. Apotheosis is the super-hard bonus battle that justifies being a min-maxing hoe. The rest are mostly old FE characters if you want Marth and Roy or whatever, and extra skills and classes. If you want to try Apotheosis you pretty much need Rogues and Redeemers 3 as well for Limit Breaker to have enough stats to get anywhere. You can grind freely without the DLC - the game expects you to a bit - so don't think you need it.

I'm gonna throw in some more tips for it later on but until then, if it's not too much trouble, could Shadowrun: Hong Kong get its own page? I'm not sure why it's under Shadowrun Returns seeing how it's a completely separate game and doesn't even carry the Returns name. Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut could probably use its own page too as I think practically everyone nowadays will play the standalone version, but that one I can see it staying with Returns as well.

As ki management is a major part of the game, this is a huge huge huge improvement, and you should prioritize those skills at once. They're cross-weapon as well, so if you - say - buy them for the spear they'll automatically unlock for dual swords.

This is a little beyond the scope of the thread, but I'm playing through the first Nier game and I'm up to 98% of the sidequests with only the pink moonflower growing sidequests to go. If I beat the game am I locked out of 100%for this? Do I get a chance to redo the quest after I'm through NG? gently caress this sidequest.

There's missables before the skip, but otherwise you're fine. If you're into achievements/trophies, the trigger for the endings happens after the credit roll. I didn't know this and didn't get credit for ending C.

The big Cavia "gently caress you" is that 51% of the sidequests are before the time-skip, so if you you missed one of those, it's already too late unless you start completely over.

Bedurndurn posted:Anything for Nioh? A few things I guess: If you want to get every single Kodama, either use a guide or find a talisman/other gear with Kodama Sense. Some of them can be pretty annoying to find and it's generally not fun to have to search every nook and cranny because you missed one when you're in front of the boss door. You can see how many Kodamas are in a mission on the mission select on the map. Generally only "main" missions will have Kodamas though. The further you get, the more important the stances get. The second boss (the one in the caves) was where I had to start appreciating low stance. Most of the trash enemies can be dealt with in mid stance though. You can headshot with ranged weapons, and it's a great strategy for softening up/reducing numbers in tough encounters. If you have played the Souls games, realize that dodge in Nioh is MUCH more powerful and can get you out of far stickier situations than the dodge roll could in Dark Souls. If you're swimming in whetstones, just use enough to get max familiarity with new weapons right away. The effect applies to all equipped weapons too, so if you're using a new main weapon, a new off weapon and like one ranged weapon you'll get more bang for your buck than if you equip just one melee weapon. There are two types of familiarity. One is for the weapon you have equipped, which increases that weapon's damage, one is for that weapon type. The second type will give you samurai skill points at regular intervals and will also be a limiting factor for some later specialized missions. It's not a bad idea to switch up your weapon for your secondary at times to get more samurai points, but don't spread yourself too thin. Focusing on more than two damage stats when leveling could gimp you in the long run. I focused on two damage stats and had some points in whatever stat governs ninjutsu and some in HP/Ki and I almost maxed out two of the samurai trees towards the end though, so it's not that strict. If you don't go deep into the ninjutsu tree, at least get the paralysis/poison cure stuff. If you do go a bit deeper, get the poison weapon buff, some big enemies go down way faster if you stick poison on them. Gestures aren't just for co-op. Some enemies can be interacted with using gestures.

Turtlicious posted:Persona 5 They appear on the Tokyo map, even the ones you haven't started. Press Square and it'll list who is at that general location in Tokyo (with a general description instead of a name if you haven't started it yet). ALL of them are introduced to you as the story progresses, it's not like P3/P4 where you have to hunt for a couple with part-time jobs and random guessing.

Turtlicious posted:Persona 5 On the big subway map thing, you can hit square to see which confidants are in that zone. The icon next to their name is either grey (they're not currently available that day or you haven't unlocked them yet), blue (you can meet them) or UP (you can meet them and rank up the confidant). Do you mean like finding where in the hell Ann is in Shibuya because there's like 5 different areas in that zone? That's harder to say without getting into spoiler territory about who you'll eventually meet. I will say that most of the adults stay in basically the same spot. It's mainly your fellow kids that appear at different places and make your life difficult when you go looking for them. So if you just get a handle on where Ann/Ryuji/etc can spawn, then you're basically set.

I'm pretty sure that is not correct. As and when you get the DLC the appropriate things will appear to let you access it. You do have to beat a boss with the initials V.A. to access the area, but doing so before purchasing the DLC should make no difference. The only hiccup can be if you proceed to NG+ at which point you do need to progress to the appropriate point in the story again. [On the same or on a new character.]
