About to start Dead Island from gamefly, tips? I am pissed that it doesn't have local coop that's the whole reason I got it, but oh well.

For Dead Island what is the best way to deal with Thugs? I can't seem to dodge them very effectively.

Thanks for the Tropico 4 tips, what about Port Royale 3? I really want to know what the best trade route to print money is so I can focus on the fun stuff.

For Tomb Raider. Always try being stealthy. Even if you only stealth kill 2 or 3 guys, then when poo poo goes loud you are dealing with a group with a few less bad guys.

Don't play it like a standard cover shooter, you're a lot better moving and shooting, and switching it up as often as you can. If you sit in one spot and just pop out to shoot at guys you'll get set on fire a lot.

Anything for Shogun 2? I played some single player and did ok. Then I jumped into coop and within 10 turns, Everyone is at war with me. Last turn we survived I had a full army (still just the two basic units, no time to get anything else) in my base, plus my allies full army and we had 4 full stack armies from different clans attack us. Why is the coop so drat hard? Any strats?

Me and a friend are planning to get into Anno 2077 alongside one another. Is there anything important to keep in mind?

If you want to optimize everything (which can be fun but rather spergy) find a calculator online (http://odegroot.nl/anno2070/calculator.html) and input what you have, or what your goal is, and it'll poo poo out exactly how many farms and tea factories and meat plants that you need.

That said, that can take some fun out of it, but it's really the only way to get to the "endgame".

The way I look at anno, if you want to chill and relax then just play and not worry about min/maxing. If you are going for a monument or optimal placement, then cheat as much as possible within the confines of the game.

I'm starting ACIV: Black Flag tomorrow. Can someone tell me what I need to know or should keep in mind? (And can someone add that page to the wiki so I can easily go back and peep it!)

The story gets kinda tedious now and then, so when you get bored, just sail the high seas and pirate poo poo. It's a lot of fun to mix it up with a bunch of ships and don't feel like you ever HAVE to do anything.

That said, there's a set of quests to unlock two bits of armor which are both pretty good.

-If you do all the major assassin missions (the assassin symbols, not the skulls) you get armor at your manor that is 25% damage reduction
-If you collect all the mayan stele's (which isn't as hard as you think), you get armor that basically ignores being shot at which can be super useful.
-When you can, always go after a shanty, they're great and add to the experience. On the same note, don't feel like you have to get every animus shard unless you're a masochist because some of them are dumb.

Any tips for Blackguards? It seems like half the time I hit, the monster recoils, but no damage is done and the combat log says "hit". I'm at the first town and in the Crypt, where it looks like I have to fight 2 back to back fights and the second one my guys are out of mana and half dead.

I also don't recall a tutorial explaining what the slider under all the weapon talents means.

Take a good look at the upgrades, there's one that lets you fire in mid jump which lets you get past a lot.

Don't be afraid to make two passes through an area, once to b line to the next tube station and once or twice more for money.

For Dying Light 2, I just got to the part where I can coop, and me and my friend have noticed that enemies are way spongier now. Inthe tutorial and stuff I was killing with 3-5 hits, now its like 10 hits. Is that some arbitrary multiplayer for multiplayer? Should I just dump it to Easy?

There's a plethora of missions/mission types that are built around co-op. Just select a different tab from the "War-table" or whatever its called, and go to town. There is one endgame challenge raid that's designed (and only doable) for solo play, but everything else is multiplayer

I am doing the Reassembled campaign right now which I thought was a prologue but I guess its 12 hours long? Should I just dip out and go to the other game mode? The main menu is confusing as hell.
