Gun are boring and have been done to death. REAL men use explosives skill.

Speaking of Hammerfight, I'd love to play more of it, but after either mission 2 in the campaign, in either version (steam or the bundle download) the victory screen displays and nothing happens. I've played through them a few times now, same thing every time. Restarting doesn't fix it. Anyone else had this problem?

And Yet It Moves is pretty sweet, I understand it's similar to VVVVVV? You turn the levels around yourself as you're platforming. Very stylized, I approve.

« on: July 26, 2011, 05:26:00 pm »So, how about we discuss the games instead?
What a fantastic idea!
Hammerfight's pretty fun so far, except for an interesting bug where the levels won't complete after the victory screen. If anyone else runs into this, restarting the game seems to help.
Cogs should be a nice diversion, though simulchime was a bit awkward. Nice take on sliding tile puzzles.

Seems interesting. If the offer's still open, any chance I could get in on it?

« on: July 26, 2011, 02:25:46 pm »I am thinking of rerolling with a high int so i can get lots of skill so that I have the most options available to me given any situation. I do plan to focus mainly one one weapon type, otherwise I would like to have a wide range of skills so i can do lots of differnet things. Is this a viable way to play or will i be handicapping myself?
Bog standard small guns commando:
Small guns: 80+
Repair: 80+ for Jury Rigging perk and ammo crafting options
Lockpick: 75 (100 is overkill by a large amount. I can only think of one 100-skill lock in the game that can't be bypassed some other way)
Science: 25 or 50
First Aid: 50-60
Focus on perception, int, agility, but you DON'T need to max any stat. In fact, more than 7 is sort of a waste due to stat boost options during play.
This leaves you plenty of room for flavor.
Science and lockpick work at 25-point increments. Locks/terminals require 0,25,50,75, or 100 skill. In-between points are a waste. Science is great if you use energy weapons, mediocre if you don't.
A couple options are (in my opinion) all or nothing. Sneak at minimum, 50 for sneak headshot criticals, or 80+ for ninja play (even then, stealth boys can make up for a lot if you use them wisely). Luck 7 turns the odds at casinos in your favor, otherwise the games are rigged against you. Caravan isn't based on luck, but winnings are limited. Don't underestimate charisma and social skills.

Survival isn't useless, it's fine to flavor a character. I liked more about hardcore than just the basic needs changes. Generalists with weapons don't tend to work so well, unfortunately. Pick what you like (energy, it seems) and max that out. There's enough options to make any specialization worthwhile. My personal favorite is explosives.
Too rich? With luck 6 or 7 you can run right to Vegas and winnings cap every casino at level 1. Money won't be a problem in this game; finding what you want to buy might be.
Also, I'd recommend against
your first time through.

I've been on Jelly King runs like this... the other 3 died and I'd solo a pull by shield bashing and kiting, then I'd rez them. They'd die immediately... repeat. Not fun.

I never finished Morrowind. For that matter, I don't recall doing more than the first 2 or 3 main story quests, then running off to level up and steal and kill things. I have an attempt at 100% completion Golden Sun/Lost Age sitting around somewhere. I also have a brutal Starcraft 2 campaign that I gave up on out of sheer boredom.
I have finished New Vegas at least 6 times, though.

Yeah, I've been doing the same thing. Next upgrade is Faust, I have the sealed sword and recipe, just need 130 CE for it, then i'll be broke again.

Get the point?
This.
I wonder what people expect, all I hear are complaints but no ideas or suggestions, it sounds a lot like whining just to whine about something.

*watches as the point sails right over Darkmere's head*
No, I get it. Something changed and is different, so it sucks. Complaining about something that isn't out yet is pointless.

D1: Limited gear choices, no running, mana shield + spam pots = god mode, every pub game swarmed by spammers/townkillers, corpse popping, no variety between different players of the same class.
D2: meaningless resource system, badly designed synergy system, hopeless search for runes you'll never get to make that stupidly OP runeword that everyone duped, thousands of baal runs led by a teleporting pally bot, bugged gloams, utterly pointless PVP/griefing, spammers. I could go on for a long, long time.

Keep in mind, reviving with energy is a poor economic choice. After 1 revive in T2, the next is 10 energy, which is worth an entire level. Don't revive more than once, it's wasteful, especially with CE. I'd recommend trying to join a guild, pub games were driving me mad.
