On an entirely separate topic; I just got back from seeing IronMan2 in the cinema, go see it. That movie is spectacular!
Modern warfare 2: sniping is really easy when you have a good spot or run around with a shotgun killing people whichever you perfer
Well let me know when you see it because I'm dying to talk to everyone about that movie!Mr. Gency said:
This reminds me of Phantasy Star on the 360. There are a few parts where there is a save point right before a boss and the way back is blocked. My sister got stuck at one part and I got stuck at another. We had no way of leveling up so we were forced to start all over.Mr.logic said:
Never played it since.
Those pesky PEC challenges getting you down? Just find a checkpoint, near three or more enemies preferably (for challenges like 3x frag or 3x remote mine), and do the criteria for the challenge (ie. killing the three enemies with one frag). You can now retry from the checkpoint and do it over and over until that challenge is complete!
Though it can make for a lot of fun if you're the DM. Nothing like tormenting the PCs when the cleric's in the other room. That being said, if you're new to a game the warrior/fighter type class is always a good place to start.Crunchy English said:
Here's more great Bioshock 2 tips I just thought of if you're trying to finish the game on hard difficulty; it's not as hard as you may think it would be, you just need to buy health and Eve upgrades early on. Things we be hard when you start off (ammo and money will be scarce, and as a result so will health kits and Eve hypos) and your first Big Sister will be your biggest challenge, but by the time you leave Paupers Drop you should be able to have things under control. Make sure do your reasearch, find all the Power to the People machines and make use of all Rapture's secrets such as the secret in Fontaine Futuristics - on the second floor of the first part of the level, in Fontaine's oiffice there's a wild pig head mounted on the wall. Rotate it to open the secret will 3 safes filled with ammo and an audio log.
Hope this helps!

Fallout1/2: Pick Gifted and Fast shot/small Frame/Finesse as traits. The others are pretty much useless. Tag small Guns and Speech, the most useful skills in the Game. You don't need more than 5 ST and 4 EN. INT and AG should never be below 8.
Stick to one Combat Skill in the Beginning. A skill level of 150 is enough to get eye shots from any reasoable range. You can raise Energy Weapons later(Big Weapons are useless in FO1)
Traps is useless, so is Throwing, Barte and Gambling.
First aid, Doctor, Steal, Outdoorsman are good, but don't spend points if you got better skills you can raise.
Science and Repair are useful later, but you can raise those with books, so don't spend points until you have to
Raise Peech and your combat skill to 100 as soon as possible.(raising a skill other than one for combat above 100 is a waste)
Perks that give you skill points or help you gain levels are useless(except Living Anatomy), as well as most other perks that don't help you in combat(though bonus ranged/melee damage are not worth it)
Hit point gain per level is 2+EN/2.
The number of Party members you can get is CH/2 in FO2 (there is no Limit in FO1).
If you raise the difficulty your skill level drops. You can do this temporarily to get more mileage out of books(doesn't work with combat skills).
Install the Restoration Project for Fallout2, it makes the game even better.
Don't use AP ammo if you didn't install a mod to fix them.
Go for the eyes, though crippling legs can send most critters running.(Groin shots are also effective and damn funny ^^).
Grenades are rare an therefore useless(see throwing).
You can raise every stat except AG and EN by at least 1 without perks(+1 memory module for STR, CHR, INT and PE, +4 STR with power armor, mirrored shades[dig up graves in Golgotha] give +1 CHR if you have them in an item slot and the zeta scan in NCR gives you either +2 or -1 LK, so save first.) With the Restoration Project you can raise AG by 1 at the EPA.
Watch out if you give your party members burst weapons, because they can do a lot of damage to your enemy, as well as yourself.(Ian is infamous for being more dangerous to the player than the enemies)
W40K Cahosgate: The difficulty of the later missions depends on how many marines survived the earlier ones, since high level marines are way more effective.
Use all heavy weapon slots in your Teams.
Flamers are pretty useless, except against a big group of cultists or something.
Power Weapons are good versus armor.
Plasma ammo is rare, so save it for demons, chaos sorcerors and the like.
Don't fight in close combat, unless you are sure can win.(Fighting Demons other than Horrors in close combat is suicide, chaos marines can be tough, but if you shoot at them with a Bolter for a few times first, they go down easy. Cultists are cannon fodder. Melee against vehicles is effective with power weapons, but watch out and don't make a habit of it.)
Melta Bombs have a big range, so watch out!
Do the side missions and kill every enemy on every map, you need the xp.
Jagged Alliance 2:
Get the v1.13 mod, it makes the game a lot more fun.(and more complicated, so if you didn't play it before you may want to play vanilla for a bit first.)
Pump up Wisdom and Health as far as you can, since they hardly rise during the game. Explosives, Medicine, and Tech is pretty pointless. Your mercs can do that a lot better than your AE.
Fighting at night makes everything easier, especially with mercs who have traits for that kind of thing.
Hire cheap mercs with high wisdom, it's cheaper in the long run and they just as good as high level mercs later in the game.
Equipment for every merc should include: A gun with about 3-5 mags, a first aid kit, a knife, gas mask, NV goggles, sun goggles, a water flask, a med kit for your doc and a lock pick and tool kit for your tech expert. Later you should include a heavy weapon expert with heavy weapons(mortars are awesome!).
Mortars can kill a group of enemies from across the map, so if you can get one, get it and get as much ammo as you can.
When you have conquered the airport in drassen or meduna, you can use bobby rays.
Don't recruit Devin, since he is a good source of explosives(if you can find him. He changes bars every couple of days).
If the enemy didn't notice you, you can often get an instant kill with a throwing knife.(if it doesn't work at first, try quickloading.)
For v1.13 only:
Tracer ammo works both ways, so watch out.
Glaser is basically HP ammo that more useful against unarmored, and more useless against armored targets.
A silencer alone won't cut it, you need cold ammo to be really stealthy.
Use Automatic weapons for suppression fire(a new feature in v1.13).
Moltov cocktails/Mustard gas grenades are extremly effective at blocking an entrance and can do a lot of damage if the enemy stays in the fire for more than one round. A combination of supression fire/vacuum grenades/tear gas and Molotov cocktails/mustard gas works wonders against a big group of enemies.
By stuffing things in a backpack and putting that in another backpack you can carry a crapload of stuff at once. Use this if you want carry a lot of stuff from one sector to another. Weight is still accounted for, so it will take a while. This is obviously not a good strategy in a fight, so just use it for shifting things around.
Whew. TL;DR I guess, but whatever I had fun writing it.
Maybe I'll post some more later

Dragon Age:
Save.
Alistair is best used as a punching bag.
Search every inch of the map. Or just walk around holding down tab.
Save, F5 is your best friend.
Poison skill is mostly useless. have at least one character with Maxed Survival skill.
COERCION IS IMPORTANT.
And lastly, save.
Pokemon:
Fire legendaries are a piece of shit, don't ever use them.
That being said, unless you're a pussy or you're playing G/S/C/HG/SS, START WITH A FIRE TYPE.
Unless you hate Chimchar, that is.
And Heatran is an exception.

and that.Audio said:and...Dont play World of Warcraft !!sell your soul to someone else. You're sure to gain more then you would in WoW regardless.
In Resident Evil 5, every-time you walk through a threshold, turn about, chance are there's an emblem or treasure "hiding" there.
Most boss battles: If you have died for the billionth time and have made no progress, don't fret, it means that those strategies don't work. Albert Einstein called it insanity, I say it's perfection in the making. Also it's fun to watch people rip their hair out putting this into practice.
I'm sorry, but WoW is a fan-fuckin-tastic game, how would selling your soul to a sub-par developer like say IW be any better than selling it to Blizz?Audio said:and...Dont play World of Warcraft !!
Ok, here is a free tip that can apply to every current-gen gamer, playing current gen games. Achievements/Trophies, don't make you cool, they make you look the fool. If all you care about is a stupid little score, why not play an Atari 2600?
Ok, ok, in serious, Always Quicksave & save often, never trust a game to autosave, it can lead to disaster.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Get some mates together for squad play, or practice swearing (For more fun look up swear words for different languages).

Halo 3: Don't spam grenades like there's no tomorrow
Modern Warfare 2: If the enemy team has air support (ex. UAV, Harrier, Helicopter of any kind), take out a rocket launcher, other than the ones that launch grenades, and blow it up. You'll rack up a good amount of points.
Modern Warfare 2: When you first get Cold-Blooded, use a Light Machine Gun and a rocket launcher. When the enemy team calls in a helicopter, shoot it with the rocket launcher and hope that you don't blow it up. If it is spinning out of control and now blown up, shoot at it with all you got. Shooting at a falling helicopter with a single bullet counts as destroying it, allowing you to get Cold-Blooded pro quickly, challenges, experience, and the emblems/titles for doing so.
Any game of the First-Person Shooter genre: Don't take the game so seriously, it is just a game. The game was made for fun, not for people to ***** about everything. Also, if you think you are pro for knowing everything about the game (bullet calibers and such), you aren't pro and need to realize that that knowledge about in-game weapons will most likely never help you.

Fallout 3: after leaving the vault bump up your speech as much as you can go talk to silver complete the speech challenge she gives you some caps (cant remember how much) then kill her, loot her and you should have 500-600 caps whithin the first 5 mins from leaving the vault.
Hope this helps noobs get a head start at fallout 3

Never play cod6 late at night with my dad: "No, your crap at sniping, get an assault rifle like me! Throwing knife? That never works! Get a grenade instead! Throw the grenade! Throw the grenade!" "i JUST THREW IT, AND THOSE ARE MY TEAMMATES!" "...Oh. Why are you using a pistol? Get a rocket!"
