PMush Perfect posted:I've been super dependent on the auto parry one, but I should be getting a new controller soon so that might help with getting the timing right? The parry timing is pretty lenient. Did you do any of the mausoleums? They're good for getting the hang of parrying

random caves of qud tips: - give your first character 18 in every stat except ego, unless you take mental mutations in which case get 18 in ego and sacrifice something else (toughness?) - turn off permadeath for a bit, at least until you get your footing - definitely pick up a weapon skill tree - basic tinkering skills are very good but maybe a bit complicated for a new player - if you catch some terrible disease go to kyakuya, the mayor sells a copy of the book with the randomly generated cures - there are plenty of things in this game that will kill you dead if you aggro them. it's very easy to wander into places where the already-aggressive inhabitants will kill you dead. the devs have attempted to address egregious examples of things murdering unsuspecting players but largely it's just how qud works, you learn where you can go and when you should turn around and leave immediately through trial and error (see toggling permadeath off) - if you see something called a madpole or a sawhander, respect them. they'll rip off your limbs if you engage them in melee

You get most of your stuff by leveling up and spending the skill points you get each level. Also some side quests give skill points. A couple of things are still story locked, but it's not really a big deal. The first area still is something you should burn through fairly quick to unlock the ability to take over fortresses and stuff.

Universal Paperclips - It's a clicker/idle game, so you know the deal. Keep it running in the background and just check on it occasionally. - WireBuyer is a priority, since once you have that, you can pretty much leave the game completely unsupervised indefinitely. - Memory is more important than Processing, as the cap will stop you from getting upgrades. Your eventual goal is 30/70. - Don't completely ignore Processing, though, you'll need to start stocking up Creativity eventually. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Dec 28, 2017 |

anilEhilated posted:Yeah, don't rely on the voice gimmicks and so on, just treat it as a standard cover shooter with an utterly fantastic sense of escalation. Ya loving it really. Going back and seeing the reviews seems like it got a bit underrated.. It feels like a pure macho action movie from the 80s but with great combat. Especially the parts dismemberment it completely changes the ai's moveset and it gives you different ways to approach the fights.

PMush Perfect posted:Talk to me about Cuphead The first things to unlock are the charge shot and the inviso-dash. The charge shot is seriously powerful and will destroy bosses Parrying things during boss battles is usually a good idea, just parry everything that's pink to build up charges for super attacks. Don't rely on auto-parry, the invisible dash is so much more useful and parrying isn't that hard to learn. Practice in the mausoleum. You can find coins and other secrets and stuff so look around the map carefully.

Renoistic posted:This. I usually end up using the pea-shooter and spread, though. Also, Dice King is a god-drat dick and I hate him with the fury of a thousand suns. I'll add some more things since Cuphead's not even on the wiki yet. - Spread is good up close and to get rid of enemies that swarm you, which helps a lot on certain bosses, so definitely unlock it. - Another useful weapon is the boomerang. By jumping and firing backwards you can practically fill the entire screen with boomerangs, works great as a swarm clearer and has high damage, there's a few bosses where this is handy, so unlock it too. - The homing shot has a few niche uses and seems good but it's too weak as a general weapon. Generally, it's best to burst boss phases down as fast as you can with high damage, to avoid exposing yourself to their attacks for longer than necessary, so this low damage weapon is usually not worth it. - Some bosses play like side scrolling shoot em ups, don't forget that you can turn into a small plane to dodge bullets, and you can switch between your gun and bombs. Bombs are slightly more powerful than the gun so use them if you can. - If you get stuck somewhere, switch your weapons and try again. The charge shot is probably the most useful, but the game demands that you vary your loadout.

Dishonored 2 has a bunch of helpful tips on the wiki, but I have a few questions: Does it matter who you pick when you start the game? How crucial is it to keep primary objective targets alive? I played the first one with ultra low chaos levels and I found that method to be a pain/tedious. I kind of just want to only kill when I need to and to occasionally murder targets.

Corvo basically has all his Dishonored 1 stuff back with a few new tricks while Emily is completely different. Corvo also has more/better tools to go loud with while Emily's powers tend to complement stealth a bit more. Either one is good at both though, so play however you want.

anilEhilated posted:Anything for Shadow of War? I've played the first one so I'm kinda wary of doing sidequests without access to most of my arsenal. Just do the story, don't worry about the collectibles. Seriously. Don't worry about collectibles. You get more than enough skill points from other sources, and the skill getting all the gondorian artifacts unlocks is cool but also not that great. Maybe do the Celebrimbor flashback missions though because they're pretty fun and unlock legendary gear. On the subject of gear, never dismantle legendary gear unless you have a duplicate. Legendary gear can level up infinitely at certain milestones. Epic gear can only be upgraded once. Mayor McCheese posted:Dishonored 2 has a bunch of helpful tips on the wiki, but I have a few questions: The game makes a lot more sense thematically if you play as Emily, and it feels as though they wrote Corvo in... not as an afterthought, but it's all just a bit less meaningful. Still totally fun with either though. The Iron Rose fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Dec 29, 2017 |

I kind of just want to only kill when I need to and to occasionally murder targets. Anyhow, both Corvo and Emily have the tools to handle everything the game throws at you; the biggest difference, IMO, is that Emily's Blink equivalent has a longer reach but doesn't actually teleport you - it flings you to the location meaning you're visible. It's fast enough for it to not matter 90% of the time though. And of course, there's there no.1 Dishonored tip - don't reload when you gently caress up, try to play with the cards you got dealt and watch hilarity emerge. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Dec 29, 2017 |

When you get to the end, don't feel obligated to play through Shadow Wars (you'll know what I mean.) It's designed around extracting value from the customer through lootboxes. Play until it's not fun anymore, then look up the end on youtube.

Don't go plinking at enemies from distance with it, particularly early on when you can't manufacture ammo for it. Almost treat it like a melee weapon. Stealth talents are quite powerful.

Hannibal Smith posted:If you normally play games with subtitles off, keep them on for this one. There are a number of cutscenes with characters speaking Japanese, and if you don't have subtitles on they won't get translated. I've always been curious to whether that was a deliberate choice on the part of the localization team, or a request/instruction from the developers.

In Shadowhand the game piles up gear and special wildcards in a way that looks like you can only pick from the top of the pile. You can actually select things from the middle of these piles if you want.
