apekillape, I wrote a little note in the discussion page of the front page of your Wiki. I figured you'd get emailed when I posted it, but perhaps not? It's on there, anyway.

Holy Cow posted:Any tips for Tales of Symphonia? Play the game once through for the story, or to get a general feel, and then farm GRADE until you can afford the EXP x 10 New Game+ feature, and then play it through again with a guide and do all of the extra stuff. Then again, my first play through was 70 hours or so, so I can't imagine that many people would want to play it a second time straight afterwards. Getting the most powerful weapons is fun, but you'll have to look at a guide to find out what they are/where you can get them, and learning all of the most powerful spells/attacks is fun, but again you need a guide. 10x EXP just makes all of that stuff much easier. Edit: Whilst I'm here, is there anything I can do (Already part way in) to give myself a big advantage in Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria? I'm already over levelled (And I don't mind the negative impact that has on learning skills). I'm just wondering if there's anything else I can do that'll give me a boost. ahobday fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Sep 13, 2009 |

Have some tips already been posted for Final Fantasy 6? I'm thinking about playing through with an aim to breaking the game. Making it too easy for myself.

Thanks so much for all of that, guys. How much of this applies to the start of the game? A lot of it seems to be late game stuff.

Funkyboss posted:Thanks to the God of War collection, I'm finally getting to play these games for the first time. I'm starting with the first one, and while it's a pretty straightforward beat-em-up, what's the best way to upgrade? Should I focus on the blades, since I use them the most? Or should I just upgrade whatever I can as soon as I can? Or is there some magic ability that completely destroys everything at a certain level? Any other tips? Poseidon's Rage is the first ability you get, and also extremely powerful. If you want to gently caress poo poo up, upgrade that. Upgrading your blades is also important, of course, since you don't want to be just chipping away at later enemies. I don't think there's any upgrade path that will severely gently caress you over, however, so just do what you feel like. For your second play-through, if you get to it, you can have a lot of fun by getting infinite magic, using this glitch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOHvvp6Xshg It'll take you a few tries to get the jumps right, but I did it pretty quickly so it's not too hard. Part way through the game there's a large hall, with two holes in the walls, on opposites sides. Unlimited harpies come out of these holes until you stop them. If you have infinite magic, you can get as many red orbs as you want here by standing in a corner and holding down Medusa's Gaze. The harpies stop giving out red orbs from attacks pretty quickly, but if they're petrified and then fall to the ground, you get three orbs each time one dies, and they keep on coming as long as you need them to. I can't remember how long I stood there (It was a while), but I upgraded everything I had and got enough to upgrade everything I would get later in the game, I believe. Note that I have NO clue whether or not these things work in the God of War collection (That's the HD version on the PS3, right?).

Even though Ape was pretty awesome for hosting a Wiki, he hasn't been around and his site is down entirely, so I decided to put up my own just in case it never resurfaces: http://www.centipeed.com/wsik I went for something simpler. There's a search box and a list of games (Not alphabetized, but in the order I find them in the thread.) available from the left menu. But HOLY gently caress, is this a time sink. So, if anyone wants to donate some time to me, you can each take a page of the thread and I'll give you the password to the Wiki's editing features. I've just done all of Page 1, which took about half an hour, to give you an indication. It needs to be co-ordinated so that no-one does overlapping work, however, so if you'd like to email me, the address is centipeed AT gmail DOT com. I'll assign you a page number in the thread, and give you a little guide on how to create the pages. It's pretty simple. Any takers?

Agent Nick posted:That wiki of yours, Centipede, is getting poo poo all over by someone who is obsessed with seeming "cool" and "edgy" by continually making references to Lu Bu. We get it, whoever you are, you're totally "in the know" about video games culture and contemporary catch phrases. It doesn't take a trip to urbandictionary.com to tell that you're a complete oval office. Those tips all came from different people, actually, in the first couple of pages. Seems to have been a running joke at the beginning of the thread. So it wasn't one person, but rather multiple people, and it was easier to leave it all in that edit it out.

I was just checking the visitor stats for my site, and they had jumped quite a large amount. At first I was confused, but then I realised that since the Wiki is in a subdirectory, and not its own subdomain, the stats for WSIK get mixed in with the stats for my main site. I'll try giving it a subdomain now and see if that fucks anything up. Edit: The subdomain works fine. As does the old address. But for the sake of my statistics being accurate, if you could point your web browsers at wsik.centipeed.com, in the future, that would be fantastic! ahobday fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Dec 31, 2009 |

ONE YEAR LATER posted:Hey Centipeed i don't work three days in a row so I'll try to get back to the site when I've got some time to kill. It should be a lot easier to add stuff as more and more game specific pages have been made, maybe I'll alphabetize the list for easier browsing or something. The list has already been alphabetized, my friend! Also, before you do any more pages I'd have to ask Brimruk to skip some so that you can do them, since he's still going strong as far as I know, and I'd hate for you guys to do the same work as each other! CloseFriend posted:When I was considering making this into a full-fledged website like the original JumptheShark.com, I thought about categorizing each bullet point, e.g. icons for things that could render the game unwinnable, missable items/quests/characters, recommendations to make the game easier, explanations of how the game works (like for God Hand or Unlimited Saga), and so on. That may be something to consider adding to the Wiki. Hopefully I haven't hosed myself by choosing NOT to use MediaWiki for the website, since I'm not sure if there'd be an easy way to implement this (Graphically) on the software I'm using currently. Edit: I spoke too soon. It turns out pmWiki has a pretty decent support for addons. I've enabled Smileys, and added custom smileys, which can be seen in action on the Help page: http://wsik.centipeed.com/index.php/Site/Help I've also added these to the editing screen, so that when you're adding tips for a game you can just click the smiley icon and it'll be inserted into the text. I took your four categories, CloseFriend, so thank you for the suggestion. If there are any more you can think of, let me know and I'll include them. Hopefully the icons I threw together aren't too garish. ahobday fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Dec 31, 2009 |

I had some questions about a tip from the Final Fantasy 9 wiki page. (http://wsik.centipeed.com/index.php/Site/FinalFantasy9)quote:- The ATE thing is determined by following a fixed path you are currently heading. You can head back to the other path when you are done. Can someone clarify what "heading back to the other path" entails? Sometimes I'll get two options for an active time event, and then once it's over I won't get the option to see the other scene, and I don't want to miss any. Also, does anyone have any more tips which aren't on the wiki page? I just started playing FF9 (Never played it before), and I'd like to avoid any surprises.

A shrubbery! posted:Can anybody add to the wiki? I'm trying to add a new game to the list and it wants a password. The are two reasons for this: 1. Cuts down vandalism (Although to be honest that isn't likely. I just want to be careful). 2. Cuts down on people adding stuff only from the latest pages. Right now the thread is being added from the beginning onwards, and if people start adding tips from the latest page, for example, then it can confuse what needs to be added next. So, if you want to add tips to the wiki (Page 30 was the last page added, so you'd have to do from page 31 onwards if you want to contribute.) then I can email you the password. ahobday fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Jan 2, 2010 |

Agent Nick posted:If people stop asking questions here, then how are you going to get additional good starting advice for your wiki? And besides, do you want your wiki to kill this topic? Some of us like posting here on the forums, instead of just sifting through your wiki without any interaction with other people at all. You make some good points. All I'm really suggesting is that people look at the Wiki first, since it might answer some of their questions before they make a post. Obviously the information there isn't exhaustive, but it's designed to collect past information so that repetitions aren't necessary in the thread. Are you saying that the tip on the Metal Gear Solid 3 page of the wiki is actually a tip for Metal Gear Solid 4? I don't play the games, so I wouldn't have caught that. If it is, I'll move it, and thank you for the heads up.

Email is theagentnick at gmail dot com, so if you could email me the password that would be great and then you wouldn't have to do any more work than absolutely necessary... Awesome!

Smirking_Serpent posted:I beat it for the first time this weekend. It took me around 9 hours, but I had watched someone else play it before and I had played Episode 1 already, so I wasn't completely new. It's a pretty accessible game, although there were some confusing sections in the city and one of the larger battles was bullshit. This reminds me: Ammo can get tight during Ravenholm, and there's a reason you go through that area right after getting the gravity gun. There are lots of sharp objects (Circular saw blades, for example) lying around in Ravenholm for you to pick up with the gravity gun and fire for decapitations.

I played through a hefty portion of Super Mario Galaxy without learning all of the different jumps you can perform. It's been a while, so I've forgotten them, but there are some standing tall jumps etc. that are very useful, and that you wouldn't know existed, because the game never tells you. Look them up somewhere.
