TieTuesday posted:Are you loving kidding me right now? I am not kidding you there are boat stealth sections where you basically just steer your boat between the various red cones of enemy boat vision and occasionally get caught anyway because a boat decided to turn for no good reson. Use the minimap when you get to them, for the love of god use the minimap do not try and do it by eyeball.

anilEhilated posted:I lost it at the giant handbrake boat; haven't laughed this hard at an LP since Mercs 2. You guys are magical. Dude without either being genuinely good at botes (hahahahahahahaha) or having the top tier bote upgrades (which you can't even unlock until the later parts of the game) attempting to fight the legendaries is either a futile exercise in insanity or a really boring slog where you hide in their one blind spot and punt cannonballs into them for half an hour.

TieTuesday posted:This is amazing! How did this even happen how can I make this happen? You have to sail for open water and then tip your boat over so that it is upsidedown at the moment the sun sets, the sign of your success will be the green flash as the last light falls below the horizon.

It is important to remember reality was very unstable during much of the 18th century, it was not until the latter half of the 19th century that industrialization began to pin space-time down enough to stop it from occasionally turning inside out.

anilEhilated posted:I really hope you keep on the boating until the ending where Kenway explains the difference between a ship and a boat. It's just... perfectly fitting. I'm like 95% sure that little bit of dialogue only exists because the devs knew that people would be making boat jokes constantly throughout the game.

A note on forts: the forts in AC4 are if anything underequipped with weaponry. While smaller coastal fortresses would maybe only have a few dozen cannons larger fortifications could sprout hundreds of cannons of various sizes as well as multiple mortars and were more than capable of fending off a siege from even small armadas for a considerable length of time. Forts also often used hot shot; cannonballs heated until they were searing hot and then fired. The inherant danger of hot shot and the ease at which you could gently caress it up and blow yourself up meant that hot shot was too accident-prone to be easily used on ships. Forts though tend not to pitch and roll about in combat and are usually made of less flammable materials than a boat so hot shot works great for them. In general in the Age of Sail if you really wanted to take a fort you either showed up with some serious boat firepower or you went overland (which had its own issues). Forts in AC4 are laughably pathetic and it's pretty easy to just run around and capture all the non-plot important ones that the game will let you capture right after your first round of ship upgrades (profitable too). I will admit however that boat battles in AC4 are quite complex and require you to pay attention to lots of things at once so I don't blame you for being terrible at it with those co-commentators distracting you ![]()

The Legendary Boats are super fun to fight but you really want to have a fully or near fully upgraded ship before you take them on. You can defeat them earlier but it requires exploiting bugs in the bote AI and takes forever.

It is pretty funny that Ubisoft made one of the best Pirate games ever made while instead trying to make a game about Assassins. I'm really beginning to notice a pattern with AAA open world style games that have amazing sidequest stuff and terrible main stories, I wonder if it's just a coincidence or not.

TieTuesday posted:First you get the money, then you get the women, then you get the power. Also in boat combat when you are boarding people you can jump on a swivel gun and get a couple of shots with the gun. The shots explode violently and can be used to set off gunpowder (red barrels) on the other ship's deck and kill a number of crew to make the boarding faster. If you're careful you can often take out the entire crew of smaller boats, but on larger boats the extra casualties you can cause with the swivel gun are super useful.

First time I played AC4 I got lost in one of the larger inland areas and spent just over 3 hours chasing monkeys. I do not blame you for being distracted by monkeys ![]() Or boats for that matter, hell AC4 is at its best when you are not following the story at all and are just sailing around bein a pirate.

The Assassins are all trying to convince Edward to find out what the Templars are up to and hes all 'I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF ME LOOTING THIS SPANISH TREASURE GALLEON!' That is basically the entire game.

Sleepwise posted:Aloha! Copy / Sleepwise here. I come before the SA hordes, humbled, yet shamelessly craven. I have decided to let my meagre viewership (of which I hope you may soon be a part, plox notice me reader-sempai ;_;) cast votes on which classic RPG gets a thorough seeing-to. Technically speaking, I have never done a full Let's Play, so it seems wise to allow the unwashed masses to point me in the right direction. I highly recommend you repost this in the Sandcastle; you're more likely to get actual real feedback there than here. If you've already done that then good job.

You didn't break the rules of the game; that is in fact a viable method for defeating higher level boats that will blow you out of the water if you try and fight them with your boat. It is, however, very silly. I'm also not sure why the boat wasn't immediately boardable. Wheenver i've done that in the past the boat was immediately boardable for an autowin.

I don't hold being scared of spiders against you, even if the spiders were super weak I understand some people have difficulty with giant spiders in videogames but those spiders are not weak. Spider time is definitely once of the places when Dark Souls 2 turns up the Dark Soulsometer.

Persona is an odd series, Persona 4 is a bit odd even by the standards of the Persona series. There's an anime of it going on atm that doesn't seem to be able to make up its mind if it wants to be a murder mystery, a supernatural action thriller or a slice of life romance story so its decided to do all three at the same time.

I just want to look behind me for hidden presents There was actually a word wall in that dungeon btw; it's just not at the end of the dungeon and is located in a recessed area in the room beyond the gates that opened automatically when you approached them at ~3:30 IIRC its Ice Form; the one that freezes people into solid ice statues that roll around while they take minor cold damage.

From memory you need to climb the pillars and then use your shiny new whirlwind shout to cross some gaps and you end up in this little grotto with plants and waterfalls and the word wall, but you're going in backwards so there might be another way to get at it. Poke around; its definitely in that large area past the gates that opened.

El Generico posted:Beyond: Two Souls is a video game made by auteur developer David Cage and his team Quantic Dream. David Cage makes interactive, cinematic-style games, which is to say he makes QTE-fests that can barely be categorized as games at this point. Compared to his previous work, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls improves a little in terms of how action scenes are treated, but it loses out in terms of branching plot and other facets of gameplay. Heavy Rain has its apologists, but this one is much harder to defend overall, in no small part due to the terrible ways in which he handles sensitive material (speaking of which, be warned that this game contains attempted rape and suicide). From memory; wasn't part of the whole 'naked Ellen Page model' fiasco was that they didn't even use Ellen Page's body; I remember something about how they actually did have the necessary data to make a naked Ellen Page model but instead they taped Ellen Page's face to someone else's body.

Choco1980 posted:You are now officially caught up to me in the game. Well, pretty much. I'm assuming the other endings are unlocked by getting all the gems, and by finding all the hidden letters (you find 2 in the video). I am in no hurry to do either. I think there's one more ending that is gotten by entering on a different eversion level or something but frankly after getting one ending you might as well just watch the other endings on youtube because gently caress that.
