Who wants to be a rad dude and hand me some advice for Crisis Core? Not that it's remotely hard by any means (then again I'm only up to the fourth chapter or so...), but a little game breaking with prior knowledge never hurt anyone

Is the wiki known to be down or something right now? Browser just goes to the "welp there's no server here" box immediately, I was hoping to go look up the Last Remnant

Months behind, I just picked up Metal Gear Solid 4 today. I have learned that my stealth skills have been reduced to those of an incontinent ten year old. I've triggered like four alerts within five minutes of getting the Mk.II because I am hopeless and inept. I know the game had become more friendly to runnin and gunnin over the sequels, but it doesn't feel right. Someone give me some tips on how not to tip off everyone in a five mile radius

(Metal Gear Solid 4)SpazmasterX posted:Use the Solid Eye as much as possible, and get friendly with the locals. They can keep enemies occupied as you stealth by. Also, you can get even stealthier by going completely flat on the ground (can't remember the button for this), and hiding in grass. Also, stay aware of your surroundings. Don't be afraid to go tranq crazy too. You'll get better with practice. Then you'll be able to throw on your iPod and rock out to your favorite tunes as you masterfully sneak by everything. Will I be informed at some point as to how to "get friendly with the locals?" Also I saw somewhere there are controls the manual makes literally zero mention of. Like shaking the controller to break your camo. Is there a reason for being able to do this? Any other 'hidden' controls I should know of?

So, La Mulana. I know there's a wiki entry, but I have a question not addressed there. Is everything you need to know to beat the game hinted at either in game or the manual? I was watching the DeceasedCrab LP and I swear I have no idea how he figured out some of those hidden wall spots or what ROM combination let you warp to back-side areas or what some of the items do.

Miracon posted:I believe every puzzle has a hint hidden on a monument somewhere. A lot of them are cryptic and not always near the puzzle they relate to, so be prepared to take a lot of notes if you want to beat the game without spoilers. I assume you're just trying to complete it and not collect every ROM or beat Hell Temple. (The hints to reach Hell Temple are so cryptic I'm amazed anyone figured it out. They make sense in retrospect at least...) Blarg, I would love to play the game mostly because I love love love the music but I just have no patience for this variety of experimental gameplay anymore. Oh well, thanks

Another question about La Mulana. Are there any instances of "ha ha you hosed up now you can't get this item/progress anymore!"? Especially the kind where you don't KNOW you hosed up until much much later (Quest for Glory-isms, I guess)? Because those are completely loving lame and I want to have a list of those handy if I'm gonna play through this for meself, exploration game be damned.

Viash posted:It's been a while since I played it but IIRC it is possible to screw yourself out of both of the whip upgrades if you gently caress up the puzzle involved in their rooms. Also I think there's some way to mess up the poo poo with the medicine of life and the faries near the end of the game. Grumble mutter grargh, I hate this kind of crap. Oh well. Last question before I stop bugging the thread (hopefully): controller or keyboard?

Xander77 posted:Quest for Glory was probably the LEAST prone to that sort of poo poo out of the Sierra Quest series. gently caress, what series was I thinking of then. King's something? I don't remember. Anyway, yeah, agreeing with the Deus Ex folks: get your points OUT of Pistols at creation if you don't intend to use them, and do one level--and ONLY one--in Swimming.

Okay turns out I DO have another La Mulana question. If I've summoned and killed the boss of an area (I've done Guidance Gate and Mausoleum of the Giants bosses so far), does that mean I've completed all the puzzles in that boss's area and I can stop exploring now, damnit?

Kid Moe posted:I just bought the Civilization IV complete edition ive played it before but i always find that im in way over my head by the end and have no idea what to do. Any pointers? I'm in a similar boat, though I've owned Civ4 for a long time. By around the renaissance there's too much for me to think about and I get overwhelmed and quit at the least provocation.

Hey sup gonna give La Mulana another try, and had some followup questions to those I asked previously in the thread. - Besides the two whip upgrades, is there anything else I can permanently miss/gently caress up? Life crystals, ROMs, etc? - SSCC or SS88 music? - Is figuring out how to get into Hell Temple with just the hints the game provides even remotely realistic/possible, or should I just rewatch Deceased Crab's videos for that?

GeneralFai posted:Since your concerns have been addressed, I thought I'd add that DeceasedCrab did a stellar "Let's not play La Mulana" video. What did I just watch  Thanks for all the answers folks. Don't worry about the Hell Temple unlock guide, though, I doubt I'm sufficiently sadomasochistic to get through that. I was just curious about how obtuse the method of entry is. I'll probably just check out the end of the DC LP later

I picked up Warriors Orochi 3 last night on PSN, because I've got a horde-slaying itch to scratch. This is my first musou game since DW5, so I don't remember much besides 'kill mans, repeat'. Anything I should know to get the most out of this?

Is the stuff in the wiki for TES V: Skyrim pretty up to date with respect to patches and DLC changing the game? Last time I played was over a year ago, and by 'played' i mean 'did Helgen like 50 times trying to pick a race/archetype', so I want to give it another go.

I asked in the Skyrim Saints forum (that's still there?  ) about SPERG and if it would be any good for a newbie, yeah. SkyUI's also a given, I remember that much, but I've never heard of Frostfall. I'll google that.One thing I've decided since the last time I tried this game is the kind of character I like to play in games that allow the choice, which is in order of preference: - A magic user who makes a big flashy goddamned spectacle of himself (so top tier destruction stuff in this game I guess) - Get the heaviest armor, the biggest hammer, and the smallest brain and proceed to Give Not A gently caress Is being a heavily destruction based magic user viable or does the magic system kinda require me to branch out into physical stuff? If it's the latter I might as well proceed to character 2 straight off

I'm starting to play Dishonored for the first time, and at least in this prologue or whatever I'm proving really really awful at stealth  Is there a point of no return for how badly I gently caress up being generally nonlethal? Is that even advisable?

Is there more to chaos levels than the ending? How granular is it (ie high vs low, or 1-10 scale, or what)?

Well, least I know why I got high in the prologue then. I assume that means there's only a good and bad ending, for low and high chaos, right?

Then fuckit, I'll just play the game without replaying missions and see how it goes. Probably the intended way to play the first time anyway. On a side note, why the hell isn't there a borderless windowed mode?

Thanks for the info, both of you. I'll start on the campaign later tonight. Is it pretty thorough as far as introducing mechanics? Couple other questions on what you posted, is there any other difference between warehouses and depots besides "one is coastal, the other isn't"? Also, why should I disable automatic upgrading?

Installed Shadowrun: Dragonfall: Director's Cut: Colons tonight, because I never actually played any of it, including Dead Man's Switch (derp). Anything I should know going in? I've finished the initial prologue run as a Dwarf Decker (because a dwarf with a keyboard is  ); anything I should know about stat allocation, playstyle, etc?(edit) I'm going straight to Dragonfall because consensus seems to be "gently caress Dead Man's Switch", if that matters.
