So I was playing for a while last night, and randomly in the middle of assassinating some guys it flashed back to the cutscene where Jin's uncle instructs him to always look an enemy in the eyes. It was well after the mission with Yuna where you first learn to do it, and it was just a short cut. Is there some kind of hidden morality system that changes the outcome of the game based on how "honorable" you are? I hope not, because now I'm worried about sneaking or using the ghost skills at all when the game clearly wants me to.

The one thing I don't like about the visuals are the giant white "wind" streak effects. I think the particles blowing around are more than enough to guide me, the streaks just clutter the scenery and ruin the effect.

Jin faces an enemy with sunglasses. Jin kneels and exposes his neck. "Make it quick," he growls.

Woah, I just had a weird bug. I was on a horse that wasn't mine (by mistake, I didn't notice until the issue started - it might be what caused it) and it started running on its own in random directions no matter where I pushed the stick. Plus I couldn't get off - neither X nor circle would let me hop off. Fast travelling fixed it, thankfully, and I was back on my own horse. Very odd, but not too detrimental.

Yeah you can't go into it expecting anything other than another stock open world game, but it is a good one. It's pretty much lockdown comfort food - wander around, look at pretty scenery, kill some dudes, check some boxes. I'm into it.

Yeah, I switched to English pretty quick, and I usually prefer Japanese with subtitles. Thankfully I really like the English voices, Jin's voice in particular is wonderfully measured and calm.

I'm getting curious about Sucker Punch's previous games now. I've never played any of the Infamous games - do they hold up? And if I were to play any, which should I start with? Second Son, I'm guessing?

Hulk Smash! posted:I guess I'll wait then! It's actually the only thing in the game that's missable. You choose between two colors and can't get the other one. Without giving away the ending, but still relatively spoilery: you have to make a choice at the end of the game. If you make the choice on the LEFT, you get white ghost armor. If you make the choice on the RIGHT, you get red ghost armor. Either way you have to finish the game to get it.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:The colors are backwards to the choice and it’s super hosed. I didn't realize it before but it's actually telegraphed by the position of the white petals and red leaves on the ground in the ring that kind of form a yin-yang symbol. I ended up with white, but both look really cool so I'd have been happy with either one.

JBP posted:I reckon those are a waste because people on the road will direct you to Mongol camps and those will reveal the area's locations. Wind of vanity is worth it though because the map doesn't disclose sweet hats. Yeah they're kind of a waste to get before you've maxed everything out, but I maxed out my skill points partway through act 3 so it's not that big of a deal.

I found the best way to get over that hump is to stick to the first few story missions for your initial silver/gold runs, until you're more like 85 or 90 ki.

Three questions about nightmare survival: What the gently caress, seriously? Does "immunity" mean just immune from fire, or from other effects? (Would have like that explained to me before I went in with my Ronin who's 100% kitted out for fire damage...) What the gently caress. SERIOUSLY?

I find myself doing a lot more perfect parries as soon as I equipped some +Perfect parry window items. Makes sense, as I had that same attribute equipped through most of the solo game.

lol @ the people going "well why was that ronin on the roof? you should never be outside the circle!!!" In a game with stealth mechanics, climbing mechanics, ranged weapons, and gifts you can only buy by going outside the circle... The way to play the ultimate challenge correctly is to never leave the circle Yeah the arrow barrages need to go. There's plenty of other ways they can make nightmare more challenging - boss waves every wave, adding in mechanics from the story like linked twins, spirits, attunements, etc. At the VERY LEAST they should have the fire spirits appear on the map and be killable.

Waroduce posted:This is a fantastic piece of DLC and i am deeply appreciative but gold is too god drat long and i wish they randomized the points every match or every other wave honestly. like there are parts of those levels there is no reaso nto go to that look pretty fun. You think that's bad, on release, Gears 5 had only one option for Horde mode - 50 waves, which takes about 2 hours. Every lower level match I played ended by people getting bored and leaving, and the higher level matches... Getting wiped because someone left. Apparently they added a shorter version with 12 waves recently, which is much more sane, but I was done with the game long before that.

Ryuujin posted:Huh. Then the video I watched about weapons was wrong because it said Hunters. If that is the case then I kind of wish I had unlocked Ronin, though the class seems to be mostly support which doesn't help me playing solo. Yeah the video is wrong. Don't worry, you unlock classes pretty fast, just keep ranking up on your other two classes by doing the Story missions and you'll get there soon enough. With the way Ki works (your items being shared across classes) your new classes will be viable right away, aside from a few unlockable abilities (which are nice, but not vital until Gold/Nightmare). Trying to play solo, other than Bronze Story, is pointless. It's slower, you don't get any better rewards, and past the intermediate story missions on Silver, it's practically impossible. Let alone Survival. That said Ronin are VERY VERY powerful as fighters, it just takes a bit of planning and the right items (the bombs are particularly important).

Mercedes posted:Glitch was fixed last patch Just tried it out on a game of survival, and the glitch is most definitely NOT fixed. Here's another primer on how to do it (spoiled in case someone doesn't want to see how to use an exploit): Press Down on the Dpad to start the animation of firing the special arrow Start holding L2 and don't let go Don't press R2 yet - wait for the arrow to fire on its own After the first one fires, you can now fire explosive/stunning arrows as fast as you can press the R2 button (well, as fast as normal arrows anyway) Find a high place where you can see 2+ defense rings and start firing away. Make sure you have some room to walk back and forth to avoid enemy ranged attacks. It's powerful, but not altogether game breaking - it can make some earlier waves pretty easy, but if you start relying on it it can mess you up during later waves on gold, especially if your team isn't coordinating well - if you do down you tend to be in an awkward position to be revived. It's fun to play with until they fix it, though.

Yep, I got a hold of one. It's still useful even for the Samurai, because that means you can select a different technique and still have that ability.

Hah, I just got the all-stance katana on the survival round I just played. Neat, but I'll never use it. The Wind one that does double damage 20% of the time is probably way better. Although currently I'm using the legendary charm that gives +15% damage at full health temporarily until I have more legendaries and have gotten most of my basic items to 110 on all my characters. I've found Moon stance to be my favorite, the spin is good against just about anyone, and the brutes are usually the biggest threat anyway. Although Wind can be great if you have the trait that lets you stab guys who you threw (although bombs work even better for that). Frog Act posted:Wind Master also lets you totally clown regular sized guys by kicking them over then stabbing them and then kicking them over again, ad infinitum, with the fringe benefit of being able to deal with Spears and being nearly as good as water stance’s hold triangle attack I don't know if they toned down spear guys for this mode or what, but most of their moves are parryable with ANY stance, so I don't have a problem with them. Shield guys are generally more of an issue.
