pentyne posted:You'll have to choose very specific paths early on and stick with them. If you want magic? Mainline to get it asap. Just from memory for heavy on the magic you'll want to max the following skills Also, try to get your moods in the middle. There's no extra bonus for having Willfull higher or lower, as long as it's the dominant stat for example. It'll make it easier to manipulate moods in order to learn skills more efficiently. Don't worry about failing checks (unless it kills you), especially early on, it's almost inevitable.

Dongattack posted:Splinter Cell: Blacklist I recently finished it and it was my first Splinter Cell game so this might be really obvious if you've played any of the previous games: - There's a button to whistle/make noise to lure enemies over for a takedown (it's the Z key on the keyboard) - Enemies have almost no vertical vision in most situations, use pipes all the time - Doing all of Grim's side missions unlocks the best stealth gear, it's very useful - You can take out heavy soldiers by using the sleeping gas crossbow upgrade combined with the execution attack in one shot (minor spoiler): - Sometimes you'll get to decide whether to kill an important NPC or not during a cutscene, your choice doesn't matter AFAIK Ekster fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Jul 4, 2014 |

exquisite tea posted:I'm having fun so far but I'm dying all the time, that's normal right? Why should I expect to live? Some of the earlier parts can be pretty brutal difficulty-wise, especially because you aren't aware of all the strategies to distract/take down enemies yet. I played it on normal and the difficulty was just right for me personally, don't be afraid to lower it if you get frustrated.

Ainsley McTree posted:Anything for Arkham Knight that I wouldn't know from playing asylum and city to death? Only thing I can remember is that you can't unlock all the fast travel towers from the start until you have the necessary upgrades for them. Unfortunately, the game doesn't really tell you which you can and can't unlock at any given point, so don't break your head over how to get in a tower if the solution isn't somewhat obvious.

juliuspringle posted:I'm getting close to Mass Effect 2 time. Am I correct that the only dlc things not included in the Trilogy copy is The Arrival and complete arsenal pack? Getting to the point where I cave and buy dlc so I can have everything and I don't want to give EA money for things I already own. Start Origins, go to My Games, click on Mass Effect 2 then click on the 'i' icon for information. If you scroll down it shows what DLCs you already own. As far as I know it's impossible to buy DLCs you already own through Origin.

ArgaWarga posted:Bought Splinter Cell:Blacklist as part of a Humble Bundle. Never played a Splinter Cell game before but I love sulking around and picking enemies off. Anything I should know, particularly when it comes to spending money? Thanks! Unlike most other stealth games Sam loves to climb on pipes to get almost anywhere, be on the lookout for them. Money becomes inconsequential about halfway through so just buy whatever you like. The game is quite flexible to your approach and tactics so I can't see you screwing yourself over.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:So what about Dark Souls 2:Scholar of the First Sin? and i haven't played the original game since the first DLC came out for originally. Turns out they weren't kidding with "new enemy placements" as i ran into a dragon trying to go fight Old Dragonslayer If you haven't played DS2 since it was released note that the meta has changed a lot since then. Most of the OP spells have been nerfed rather hard, so Faith and Hex builds aren't nearly as good as they were back then. Weapon balance is much better now so feel free to try out weapons that you liked but were bad before. Note that elemental builds suck in the DLCs because almost everything there has stupid high elemental resistances. Just bring along a good phys weapon and you should be fine.

anything in particular i should know? It seems to be different enough and i'm kind of out of practice at this point that i feel i should ask.

Also note that in FF8 drawing magic from monsters is easier the higher your magic stat is, so you might want to junction to your magic stat when you want to draw a lot of magic from a monster. The game sometimes goes on and on about the details of a mission you're about to undertake as if it's important to remember; it's not in the slightest. The card minigame is a bit involved and I recommend you just look up a wiki, especially with regards to rules and the spreading of it since some of the rules are terrible. You get a GF fairly early on that can transform cards into items or magic which can be very useful and can break the game if you know what you're doing (breaking the game in FF8 is half the fun). You can completely ignore the card minigame if you want to without any problems, though. As others have mentioned the most important thing is trying to keep your levels relatively low. Leveling up does unlock higher tier magic from monsters (which results in higher stats when junctioned) but when you've unlocked the highest tier there's no reason to level up any further as it only makes the game more difficult. There's no need to obsess over it, just don't grind levels and you should be fine. FF8 is my personal favorite FF, flaws and all, and I didn't care much for FF9 so just try them both out.

Also, always check what you can draw from bosses. A lot of GFs can only be gotten from bosses, and many of them have great magic to either use or junction before you can get it from normal monsters.
