DontDateRobots! posted:Started playing Mass Effect, and while I'm enjoying it a lot I also feel like I'm missing a lot of things. Right now, I'm on the Citadel (just rescued the quarian from the assassins)I've been making it a point to explore as much as I can, and talk to everyone as much as possible. I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to be focusing on in the beginning. 1) Dont worry about getting the Rich achievement, it will come with time. AS you level up, the equipment that enemies carry gets better and you can sell it and be swimming with money. Just keep playing. Besides, that stuff makes the game really easier. 2) Its your choice whether you go paragon, renegage, or a mixture of both. It doesn't matter which way you go and the game is made for that. You do get charm or intimidate points based off of how many paragon and renegade points you have though. Also, I would keep a adept in your party. You get one soon enough. Also, you should keep someone in your party that can either decrypt or knows electronics so you can open stuff. You dont really need an adept in your party, but it sure makes the game a bit easier.

DontDateRobots! posted:Since I've got that base covered with Shepard, do you think I'm all right with the girl and the Turian? Or should I bring along someone else with adept skills? He's got a mix of combat and tech, and she's all combat. You should be fine with the Turian and Ashley. And in some parts in the game, yes your words have actions to them. Just put either all of your points into charm or all of your points into intimidate, and you can breeze through 95% of all situations. Don't mix and match points in the categories too much. Also, if one of your characters asks you to retrieve armor for them, do it. Also, is this the mission that you get from C-sec? I think you have to talk to your contact in C-sec again to progress.

Lockback posted:Looking at picking up Valkyrie Chronicles after reading some great reviews. Anyone have any tips thus far? Scouts are your best friend, they can cross huge sections of the battlefield but they are terribly weak at defense. Don't fully load up the battlefield with units from the get go. A good plan is to have a few scouts and some shocktroopers to start with and then capture a enemy camp so you can deploy your real force. If you do it the other way, you are going to be wasting CP on units that take forever to keep up.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:Anyone got tips for Resident Evil 2 for the Dreamcast? I'm having a hell of a time keeping my inventory well managed. Right now I have three objects that are probably gonna be used for puzzles, a small key and my knife, gun, ammo, etc, so I can't pick up an item I need to finish a puzzle. Apparently theres no drop item option, and I have no items I can use to get rid of. I'm in the Police Station, is there somewhere to store items I just overlooked or something, and will I have to be running back and forth to storage places a lot for puzzles? 1) You can get through the very first section of the game barely using any ammo and killing any zombies. Do it. 2) Ditch the knife the first chance you get. The only game it is useful in is Code Veronica where you can get through a large portion of the game using only it. 3)leave small keys in storage boxes unless you know what you are going to unlock with it. 4)There are boxes that look like chests that you can store stuff in, they are usually in save rooms 5)Ammo is pretty rare starting out, but after a while, you will have tons of the stuff. 6)certain zombies can be and should be left alone. If you are in a big area, just run around them. I usually always kill lickers though. Dogs are your discretion. They are usually idling about and you can safely run past them if you know where you are going. 7)Check the bodies of people laying around. They usually have ammo and stuff on them. Most important to remember is that once you go through the game the first time, it becomes piss easy to go through the second time because you know what is where, where all the ammo is, when you can use your ammo, and you will know what you need to bring before you get to the actual puzzle.

Jagtpanther posted:I'm getting a PS3 for X-mas and am getting it with two games - so, what do I need to know for Valkyria Chronicles and/or Little Big Planet? Though I imagine the thread is applicable for the former more than the latter! For Valkyria Chronicles 1)Try to get your soldiers to level 11 as soon as possible, since you get elite status. Level up your scouts first so they get rifle grenades, then do your shocktroopers and then your snipers. 2)Abusing orders makes some sections of the game piss easy. 3)Always take Rosie, Largo, and Alicia since they give you extra CP to use. 4)Take as few members into a mission as possible. Don't bring in additional units til you capture a field camp. You don't want to bring in a Sniper at the beginning of a mission and find that he is lagging behind everyone else due to their low AP. 5)Chapter 7 will test you, but its not that difficult. Make sure that you keep your units away from the upper right corner of the map (I think that's it)

Ashmole posted:Ugh yeah. I remember telling myself that I wouldn't restart the entire game because of one gently caress up. It took me a few days to do this...sucked. I disagree. Using the knife when its your first time is liable to get you killed. It makes you do stupid moves that you won't even need to do. In RE1, its bad to keep it since you get so little ammo anyways, but in RE2, its bad to keep because zombies do so little damage provided you push the buttons fast enough. Actually, Code Veronica and the RE for the Ds are the only games that I recommend keeping the knife for, because in both of them, its possible that if you use the knife smart enough and learn how to run from things, you can easily have shitloads of ammo by the end of the game. Resident Evil 2 gives you shitloads of ammo by the end of teh game anyways.

Scalding Coffee posted:Any tips on Front Mission 3 for someone who can't get Front Mission 1 out of his head? Load up your Wanzers with 1 slot battle skills so they can combo endlessly. I use ROF1up since Ryogo can learn it with his default Wanzer. Then watch as he combos 2 or 3 hit about 60-70% of the time. Also when you get the P beam gun, put it on someone with the AP 30% battle skill with a computer with a high activation rate and watch as it activates every turn allowing you to fire it every turn provided you don't move too much.

tokyosexwale posted:I'll assume from your hints that the game isn't completely inane in telling you when to do these things. Or are they one of those things that you have to completely stop the plot and go scouring the town at a certain time or you're screwed. If it's the former that's fine, like you said half the fun is figuring out the puzzles, but if they're those where you need to be telepathic or the developer to figure out scenarios, screw that. It is really easy to skip the one dealing with Annie's Bar, but the other one you will find an item and ask yourself what the hell you can use it for and then you will approach a room and just be like.... oh. But yeah, I have missed out on the first one once and had to reload a save to go back to it.

Scalding Coffee posted:Easy mode doubles your ammo pickup and others make it normal. If you beat the easy game and start over at normal or normal then hard (you are locked in difficulty), you get a bonus multiplier in ammo pickups (maybe up to 9X). Some enemies in places do respawn often in easy mode as far as I can tell, with the headless bears sneaking up on me in the sewers. Yeah, but Silent Hill 3 has two difficulties, a combat difficulty and a puzzle difficulty.

You can't save everyone and wont be able to until you are lvl 40+ Dont bother using guns until they are in abundance near the end of the 2nd or is it 3rd day?

It has a few large areas and mazes to get lost in, so you wind up grinding your way into making uber characters. I really like Dragon Quarter, but that might as well not be a Breath of Fire game.

sexual rickshaw posted:I know some tips for Front Mission 3 were posted earlier in this thread, but does anyone have a bit more in depth tips/answers? Upgrade whenever you can. This will be the key thing that separates you from the enemy. They may outnumber you, but you will get access to the upgrades levels before the CPU will. Go after units with grenade launchers first, you don't want them loving up your squad. Thankfully there are relatively few in the whole game. Choosing whether you go with Ryogo or don't go with Ryogo at the beginning of the game will completely change the storyline (its where the scenarios split off). Personally I enjoy Alisa's scenario more (don't go with Ryogo). Its shorter, but it really feels like there is less filler in it. Plus I think the ending was better. Don't mess with Hover legs. For the most part, their worthless. Equip a shield on everyone. Its a godsend against highly damaging attacks like melee and missiles. You can spread out your guys in terms of weaponry, or you can just give everyone machineguns and go at it. I would advise leaving your missile person alone, they are good for long range. Arm Smash is probably one of the most valuable skills in the whole game. When it activates, it will ALWAYS destroy the left arm of the enemy and as long as the enemy only has one weapon, it will be in their left arm, leaving your enemy without a valid offense other than a crappy hardblow. Its not a hard game, its actually the game that got me into strategy RPGs, but it does have its tough areas. I think I already mentioned that chaining battle skills will probably be your most valuable asset.

Keep her away from the stun rod, and give her a pistol and a rifle and go to town.

projecthalaxy posted:So I got Fallout 3. I have mainly just been wandering around doing the Survival Guide missions stuff. I am level 8 now. Is there a best time to start actually trying to advance the plot? Also, will I need to start pulling up a second combat skill, right now I have solely been using Small Guns. Will my shotgun eventually fail me? Honestly, I didn't do the main quest until after I was level 20. All I will say is Avoid Bob Casey's garage, and avoid talking to Dr. Li in Rivet City. Doing these will skip sections of the main quest. Also, do the GNR quest ASAP if you want to listen to GNR across the wasteland. Small Guns will definitely get you through the game quite easily. That and energy weapons I think are the most useful skills in terms of fighting. You may also want to advance the quest up to the point after you clear out the Jefferson Memorial because you get new enemies to fight in the Wasteland.

al-azad posted:About to play Mass Effect. Tried it for 30 minutes before but now I have serious time to sit down and finish it. Thinking about playing that engineer/psion mix class because playing straight up warrior characters in RPGs is super boring to me. Try to get over a million credits ASAP. Since it gives you access to Spectre weapons. You don't really have to rush it due to the way loot scales with your level but once you get a high enough level, it will be easy to get money. Do the Dig Site, Feros and the Noveria, since Noveria has a pretty difficult boss battle. Always zoom when using the Mako. It allows you to aim the turret lower than you normally would be able to. Also, Make sure you either max out either the paragon or renegade skill for speech. Don't mix and match them. Do one or the other. Also, if Wrex ever gives a quest to find something from his family, do it.

This is my first Resident Evil game so I'm not really familiar with what is expected from the player. Go hogwild with shooting. The game pretty mcuh gives you ammo based on what you need. Although its harder to get ammo for the better weapons. If you are playing with AI, don't give Sheva any of your good stuff since she will waste alot of stuff. Try to play online.

projecthalaxy posted:Playing through the game, if you lean heavily enough on a single weapon or ability such as assault rifle or lift to get 150 kills with it, you van use that ability on your next character regardless of class restrictions. You can cheat it as well. There is one mission where you have to find an item, and you find out that monkeys have taken it. So what I did was saved at the beginning of the mission laid waste to all of the monkeys with an assault rifle with my infiltrator, and then reloaded my save until I had 150 kills. It unlocks the achievement and then you can use it on new characters.

When you walk into a room, even if the dinosaur is right in front of you, it wont react immediately which gives you time to get to where you are going.
