Currently midgame through Borderlands 3 and seeing that there's still no page for it, I would like to start contributing now especially because there are so many baffling UI decisions in that game, even when the gameplay itself is so so good: 1. If you want to control the vehicle like literally almost every other game, go to Options -> Controls -> Controller -> Driving Button Scheme = Vehicle Relative: Left Side. Yes, even when you are playing using M&K. 2. You can teleport to any fast travel points or your vehicle, as long as you are on foot. 3. If your fast travel points are not listed because it's in another area, just choose Orbit View (X with M&K) -> Planet -> Zones. 4. Your respec cost is ~10% of your current money, so spend them if you want to cut down the cost. 5. To compare stuff in your inventory between one another, you need to manually select them first (E), then highlight something else. In Shop though, you have to use the Compare button (Q) since (E) will buy/sell without confirmation. 6. Your equipment slots are only unlocked by going through campaign, while inventory/storage/etc are unlocked by spending money on SDU once you've reached Sanctuary. 7. To hijack a car, just press the button to enter the car (E) while it's being driven by an enemy. 8. In the Ammo Dump vending machine only, you can refill your ammo completely with the touch of a button. 9. Sometimes you'll be mailed rewards due to favouring certain manufacturers over the other. Open the e-mails by going Social -> Mail. 10. Your item stats/descriptions usually won't tell the whole story, so it's highly recommended that you actually test-fire your weapons and not just choosing based on damage etc. 11. Story rewards are repeatable once you've finished the game, but challenges' rewards are not. So it may be optimal for you to wait for max level before completing certain series of challenges, since they scale to your level & only received once per character. This is also including Typhon Drops. 12. The drop rates are actually really good compared to the first 2 games.

I've not played the games before but I bought Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout recently and was wondering if there was anything I should know before I dive into it. It will not be the first RPG I've played but will be the first of this type of game. I saw someone ask back in January and didn't see a reply.

I found an old copy of Gran Turismo 5 and spun it up for the first time this weekend, and I was surprised by two things: first, I actually really dig it, but secondly even though it was a flagship first party title, ten years later it looks kinda cell-phoney graphics wise. I want to get GT Sport for the PS4, anything I should know before taking the plunge? Is it worth getting either bundle (the “definitive” and “spec 2” options)?

The website has blow'd up again ahobday. Looks like some account issue. Best of luck with that. Anyone had a chance to poke around with the new Mount and Blade game? Anything I need to know there? I played a decent amount of the OG version and never did any online stuff with the later games.

The reason it broke last time is because I THOUGHT my hosting was being migrated, so I changed the DNS servers too early. This time my hosting actually IS being migrated, and I've changed the DNS servers again. It might take a while to propagate. Or weird stuff might happen. I'm getting a "Bad certificate" error when I visit the wiki, for example, but it still works. Give it a few hours, and hopefully it'll be back up, but who knows.

I put about 45 minutes or so into it earlier, seems like the same basic formula. Combat is a lot more fluid now, which also means it's more difficult; you can arc attacks around shields, shield blocking is directional now too. Tournaments reward you with an item for winning, as well as betting profits. I got a named great sword, but lost the one for a horse.

I've updated the wiki's MediaWiki installation. It's a very minor update, so you shouldn't notice any changes, but please let me know if you notice anything weird happening.

X3 is a game where I honestly recommend finding a good walkthrough of the first five or six hours of the game and just reading the whole thing. The game is incredibly complex, incredibly complicated, and a total and utter pain to get into without some kind of guide to tell you what is what and where to go. It just goes way beyond the scope of this thread, I think. One short tip I can give you is to get yourself some good mods. There are a number of very good interface and management mods available for the X series that makes the game far easier and more convenient to handle. I can't give you any names, because I haven't played the game in years, but it was worth taking the time. The game is well set-up to handle mods, so it's not a major effort to install them, just kind of plug and play. Try it out and see what works for you. Also, I think if you hold Control or Shift, you should get a mouse cursor to press buttons and messages with. It's not much, but it's something.

It just goes way beyond the scope of this thread, I think. Yeah, I came to the same conclusion after doing some cursory googling. I'll get my notebook and a pot of coffee ready before I give it a shot. A little leery of installing mods before I have actually played the game at least for some hours. I've tried that before and inevitably end up breaking stuff or mistakenly installing something that's meant for hardcore players.

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. X3 is already a pretty hardcore game, no need to make it harder on yourself. I'd keep it in mind at least, though. A lot of those mods I remember were a serious improvement over the base game and made playstyles feasible that are ordinarily just not worth bothering with.

I think the best way to tackle X3 is to go very, very slowly and accept that your first hours with the game will just be learning the ropes, the most basic stuff. Like, you said you keep getting messages but don't know how to read them - well, that's your next goal, you know? It's not flying to another system or finding a quest or killing a pirate, it's just "figure out how to read these messages". You can set yourself micro goals like that and gradually things will come together. It is asking a lot of the player, of course, but it does help to prevent being overwhelmed. And maybe you'll be 30 hours into the game before you even build your first station, and 50 hours before you think about messing with marines and trying to capture a ship, but that's just the kind of game X3 is, I think. That worked for me, at least.

My goon. The page is huge. For a game where the big advice is "Go in as blind as you are comfortable for." EDIT : As someone who has played it, it says more than enough. But not too much. Once you've beaten the main campaign, sa has a Frostpunk thread in games where you can talk about stuff, ask strategies, see if the Last Autumn DLC has any weird gotchas. etc. Tylana fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Apr 5, 2020 |

If you mean control scheme, go for Advanced/Expert/whatever it's called. You get far better control of your plane with that.

If you're digging into X3 I wrote a bunch of effortposts a long time ago, check the 3rd post in the (archived?) thread. The mod section is probably outdated but it does talk about some goals and the first few hours of the game https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3552115

You should be able to roll upside down. For your first campaign stick to one upgrade path. The upgrade tree is generally into US/Europe/Russia paths. Plane upgrades really help. Play a few multiplayer matches if you need more upgrade currency.

Made my first million, pimped out 2 brand new fighters, hired a pilot (so I could have a wingman) and then got to watch in horror as my new buddy flew into a space station at top speed  E: reloaded and this time the wingman only damaged the ship seriously... attempting to dick with a station  That was supposed to say "dock" but it still fits.

I've created a page for Immortal Redneck:quote:* Try out the different Favors as their playstyles are all quite diverse. Amunet is one solid choice due to her useful passive and active abilities, balanced stats and strong starting loadout which includes the highly accurate and damaging Kunai. If you're any good at sniping, Neith likewise can effectively deal with threats at any range and has an easy-to-use but effective active ability. Also you should play Immortal Redneck if the idea of a roguelike-FPS appeals to you, game's a lot better than its title might make it sound like.

Some for the Resident Evil 3 Nemesis Remake -None of the items in the Carlos section will carry over to Jill when you return to playing as her, so collect everything you can. -Nemesis will drop two upgrades to your handgun early in the game if you can down him. The first time is when he first starts chasing you after you turn on the power. The second time is when he infects a zombie with his tentacle. -If you aren't worried about your time, take the time to cut all the chains with the bolt cutters as soon as you get it.

Xander77 posted:? Been a while but I think they mean don’t save anything for the other character. It may switch POV later and then you’ll have the ammo/herbs with him. But I haven’t played that remake yet. I gave up on 2 because it was too much like the original. I really hope they remake 4 though.

In the re2 remake when you briefly play as Ada you can collect stuff and transfer it to Leon so I think he means that does NOT happen here like you might expecto

Resident Evil 3 Remake: Ammo drops etc for Carlos are separate for those that drop for Jill when you resume control of her. Hoover anything you have space for (and you're gonna want a lot of ammo towards the end of Carlos' second segment before you are Jill again). Stuff you don't kill as Carlos may still be hanging round for Jill. Don't trust corpses, never hurts to give them a cautionary slash just in case. If you're being methodical don't chuck the lock pick until after the hospital General tip: if you have the knife and hit aim directly after a perfect dodge (when time slows) it'll do big damage to zombies. Likewise for a gun it'll snap to the enemy and you can get a free headshot or three. Carlos' shove is powerful but the timing is harsher than Jill's dodge

I think I saw somewhere they were developed roughly in tandem by separate teams, which would explain some of the weird discrepancies. I'm definitely going to miss the dodge next time I play RE2 remake again though

Kanfy posted:A major yet seemingly little-known thing you should know about DD (evident from the fact that it's neither on the page or has been mentioned here) is that you can change character skills even mid-dungeon. Just right-click a character (or whatever the controller equivalent is) and swap around whatever you like. ...Are you a loving wizard? How did you obtain this forbidden knowledge? Amazing tip, and I've got hundreds of loving hours played. Jesus gently caress, you can change to single target stuff before entering a loving boss room.
