homewrecker posted:Any helpful tips for for Ys VIII : Lacrimosa of Dana ? Most of the stuff you'd care about missing are side quests, which can lead to boosting the approval of your castaways (affects performance during raids and the ending). For the most part none of these should ever be missable so long as you check the board after major plot scenes, but I remember two distinct parts that I had to look up: -When you get the ability to breathe underwater, you will fight a certain boss. Return to the boss's lair after beating it to pick up the Lombardia's sign, it's a gift to a certain castaway. -There is a quest in the village involving composing a song for a castaway; the quest is started in the village but you need to go to Eternia to talk to a muse to get the needed lyrics to complete it. This is not immediately obvious because there will not be a quest icon IIRC in Eternia. -Not necessarily a sidequest, but there is also one gift that is obtained by getting Rank A in one of the later game raids, this is the only plot-relevant item you get from a raid as far as I know. Getting Rank A is pretty easy so I wouldn't worry about it too much. That's about it, everything else should be pretty self-explanatory. Explore as much as you are able to, try to hit every green/blue marker on the map (sometimes they will hide new castaways), and trek on. It's not a particularly hard game otherwise.

Anything for Yakuza 6?

Nohman posted:Anything for Yakuza 6? Theres nothing earth shattering to be said really: If you are wanting to repopulate the cat cafe, stock up on cat food while in Kamurocho, when you get to Onomichi theres only one shop that sells it and they only sell two flavours. Some cats dont particularly like either of those flavours. In Onomichi, around chapter 6-ish if you investigate the dock you'll see a pile of fish on the end. Interacting with this opens up the spear fishing minigame, which is a decent money maker. The clan creator minigame opens up in around the same chapter. Its fairly straightforward and also makes you decent money. Advancing this opens up the black market. Theres nothing in the black market really worth buying except the good speargun which makes the fishing much easier. In the last chapter you have the ability to switch back and forth between Kamurocho and Onomichi. Until then you are limited to the map the current chapter takes place in. if you pick up a photograph of a character from a previous game, try using your phone camera and taking a picture in the place you found it. Anything that pops up on the Troublr app is essentially a mini sidequest. If you ignore it it'll fail and you get a message guilting you for not helping, but any ones you fail or dont complete will cycle round again so dont interrupt what you are doing for them unless you feel like it. Club SEGA on Nakamichi St. is the one with Puyo Puyo and Virtua Fighter. The one on theater square just has the games from yakuza 0 plus darts. RIZAP sells protein powders and stuff that give you skill points. They also restore you to full health, which makes them better in a boss fight than any of the healing drinks, so once money is no longer an object you should grab a few of those. Substory specific: If you want to buy a photo as a gift for someone but it seems a bit expensive, leave for a while and come back.

Don't try to stretch your self thinner than absolutely necessary, especially early on, or you might not notice a single zombie slip in and ravage your residential quarters without a chance in hell of recovering.

Otherwise, it's a pretty bog-standard open world first person shooter with leveling mechanics and all that usual Ubisoft crap. If you've ever played the Ubisoft Game (you know, the one they've been remaking over and over since Assassins' Creed 1) then you pretty much already know everything there is to know, the basic mechanics of the game are pretty much just the usual.

Other than that it's pretty straightforward with character progression etc. It's not a particularly difficult game as your character is deliberately OP from the beginning, compared to the base campaign.

Thanks -- I started out my first game exploring as much as I could, and that didn't seem like a great idea. I better go read up on this -- seems like there are a lot of ways to go wrong early on and run into those Billions.

TheHoosier posted:Might & Magic VII? Gonna try to get through some of my GOG backlog and that's what random chance chose As part of the main quest plotline, you will need to make a decision between two sides at one point. If you find yourself stuck and it seems as if there is no way for you to progress anymore, travel back to Harmondale and see if that doesn't trigger it for you. The quest is a bit random and glitchy.

Sandwich Anarchist posted:Battletech stuff I'd add some minor clarification to some of your points: The chance of surviving pilot incapacitation scales with the pilots Guts skill The autocannon recoil penalty does not scale up on multiple turns, it stays at a -1 even if you fire 50 turns in a row. Ejecting your pilot destroys the Head of the mech you ejected from, and prevents you from using the mech for the rest of the mission, but otherwise has no penalty. It doesn't damage your pilot and you still get the mech back. This is even on "escape" missions where you eject and are not in the evac area. Melee attacks ignore Evasion, so if that annoying Light or Medium strays too close, run up and punch the poo poo out of it.

McCoy Pauley posted:Any tips for starting out in They Are Billions? I'll give this a shot - this game is one of my favorites atm. I left out so much important stuff for starting out. You’ll end up developing your own pattern/approach but: First thing is to pause the game IMMEDIATELY once it starts. You can pause the game at any time for as long as you want. Use pause often. Buildings/walls/orders placed incorrectly can be removed without penalty while paused. First building should produce food. That includes those cracks in the ground that can allow a fisherman’s hut. More Food means more houses(Tents) which then means more Workers and more Gold. Food/Housing/Energy - you will constantly be building these. You want to clear out the immediate area around your command center ASAP. You need room to grow but you don't want to grow too fast since you'll run into "runner" zombies that are a pain in the early game. Believe it or not but a group of 4-6 Rangers can clear a shitload of the immediate area around your command center. Be careful to not attract too many before you have Great Ballistas. If you are unlucky you cause a bunch of runners coming at your barely started colony which can happen quickly. Each map is different and depending on the layout you'd want to change up your build order but generally ~ for me at least. Do NOT waste time/resources on walls until before the 3rd Hoard which is around 25/35 days in a 100 Day game. Of course still build ballista - but don’t worry about full fledged walls until before 3rd hoard. Always Expand (to choke points when possible). Expand East or West - North and South contain the most specialized Zombies (Harpys/ Chubbys/ Black Suits/ Spitters) - and should wait until you have a solid army. Recently had an update 0.8 which rebalanced the units (more health regen - more resistance to Spitters) but still the best unit imo are the Snipers. Once I get to day 35 I start to exclusively train Snipers. Then later I use Thanatos (at least 2 per wall section/choke). Play and have fun - it's a sandbox/rts. Watching streams/videos actually helps since you get a sense of reacting to different situations. Ritz On Toppa Ritz fucked around with this message at 09:04 on May 8, 2018 |

Xander77 posted:Anything for Dex? Searching the thread just brings up Dexterity. It's been at least two years, but the most important thing I remember is that your guns are pretty poo poo and not really worth bothering with. Your fists, on the other hand start out ok, and get a bunch of upgrades that make them your best source of damage by a huge margin. The game isn't as expansive as a "proper" metroidvania, but it's still worth it to explore and talk to people for side quests; a lot of them have alternate solutions and endings. I don't think anything is permanently missable outside of what I remember being the really obvious "this is the start of the endgame, are you sure you don"'t have anything else to do?" prompt. Man, now you've got me wanting to play it again; I remember having a blast with that game.

Actually, guns get viable pretty fast (and the biggest drawback in the beginning is lack of ammo); I'd suggest going for them if you do not enjoy the melee combat (I didn't) - I only beat the game as a gun user but the way some of the later fights are set up, those melee upgrades would have to get crazy damaging. So I guess both ways are viable, the only way of screwing yourself over is spreading your points too thin by going for some kind of a hybrid build. Exploration skills are really important - hacking, lockpicking, name it, the rewards are worth it. If you're in a dungeon (=any plot level outside the main hub), it pays to explore around a bit before going for the objectives; most of the time there are multiple ways of doing it and they usually aren't immediately obvious.

I remember breezing through it as melee only specifically because I detested the aiming for guns. I think there's a point in the skill tree that makes your combo attacks either stun or knockdown, but that combined with all of the augments meant that combat was usually pretty short. Speaking of, quote:Exploration skills are really important - hacking, lockpicking, name it, the rewards are worth it. On this subject, one of the first augments you'll want to get is the one that gives you a hi-jump. You'll also want the one that gives you fall damage immunity.

McCoy Pauley posted:Any tips for starting out in They Are Billions? It is touched on somewhat, but zeds are attracted to sound, and the two largest sound producers are gunshots and building. This means that while archers are mathematically weaker than soldiers they are able to thin out hordes without aggroing the whole thing. Soldiers should be used entirely as last ditch defensive effort until you can solidly defend points without them, as in the open they can get quickly overwhelmed

TheHoosier posted:Might & Magic VII? Gonna try to get through some of my GOG backlog and that's what random chance chose Might & Magic 7 is noteworthy in that both Might and Magic are very important. Comparatively Might & Magic 6 should've been called Magic, Magic & More Magic in terms of what was important for getting through the game. 7, however, changes up a variety of systems with the end result that you'll want at least one heavy physical combat character if not more. Like most Might & Magic games, the real path to getting stronk is abusing fountain buffs. If you find a fountain that gives a good buff, make a note of it and abuse it heavily.

Cracker King posted:***They Are Billions advice*** Thanks for all this -- very helpful. One thing that has bugged me a little in my short time with the game is that it seems like it takes quite awhile to get military forces -- I have the 4 rangers and 1 soldier I start with, but then it takes some time to be able to make more rangers. Am I just being too slow in getting to a military building -- should I rush to build one of those? And should I really just wait on walls until later? I've had a number of early starts that fell apart on me after a few zombies sauntered into my tent camp from some direction I wasn't watching. Should I be popping up a few walls strategically early on, just to block ingress from certain directions? Or should I just be covering that with groups of rangers? Also, what's the deal with broken down buildings I find out in the map? I've seen a few radar towers that I was able to fix, but in some maps I've seen what look like entire ruined towns -- can I fix those up?

Anything for Disgaea games in general? There are tips on the wiki but they're mostly for specific installments. How should I play this? Why do some 2 or 3 person combos do less damage than a standard attack? How should I build my teams? I'm playing through 3 and that's my first Disgaea game.

Terminally Bored posted:Anything for Disgaea games in general? There are tips on the wiki but they're mostly for specific installments. How should I play this? Why do some 2 or 3 person combos do less damage than a standard attack? How should I build my teams? Vary up your weapon choice though (and be mindful of what stats contribute to a weapon's attacks and equip accordingly, at least at very low and super-high levels), just because they all have pros and cons: - Spear: Slightly longer range, attack skills have weird aiming requirements - Axe: Short-range, lower-accuracy, heavy damage with a defensive shred. Good for opening a combo - Sword: All-around great, has a lot of AoE attacks - Fist: In later games has the best 3x3 AoE attack (more on that later), also has a lot of enemy-movement abilities, which are extremely useful for navigating item world and just general strategy. - Gun: Extremely long range in a line out from the character - Bow: Medium-long range in a more traditional ranged pattern For how to play in general, story mode maps usually have some sort of gimmick to plan around or overcome, but if you grind by running Item World and the like for awhile, you can brute force basically anything. A good plan is to play through the main story until you feel like you're stuck, then Item World on something where the starting floor (it'll say like, 11+, 21+, etc.) is a right around your level or a little under. Then run through it, getting gear and levels. Repeat. Forgot what's on the wiki, but if these aren't there, these are good: In every game there's eventually a map in late-game/post-game/side-content where there are enemies on a 2x3 or 3x3 grid with XP boost and defense penalties, which you will use ten thousand times for grinding. Throwing monsters into each other combines them, which is extremely relevant in any of the games's little Dark Assembly / monster congress / whatever voting minigame, because it means all you need to do for some of the bills that all but demand you fight to pass them is bribe one high-level monster onto your side, then run around throwing it into lower level things absorb them into a single friendly NPC for the duration of the fight. Then boom you've done it.
