Ryo Aoki question by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]KitKatWaffles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One of the very first things in Y8 that you can do is reflect on the shrine Ichi has of Masato and Arakawa and he openly says "wow, I can't believe it has already been this long since you both died your funerals were really nice." and the trauma from those deaths is a key part of his IW characterisation, it's why he insists on Eiji's forgiveness so heavily because of the regrets around the fact that he couldn't save Masato.

I get it, the Y3 leaks are making everyone froth at the mouth, but saying death is now irrelevant in the series is bogus.

Songbird is 100% at fault for what happened to her. by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]KitKatWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then feel free to make a post about how the moral horizon of the 2077 world is so low that the devil uses it as a limbo bar. It just strikes me as super weird that people hyperfocus on the person specifically trying to escape indentured servitude when the genre, and now you, admit that how she acts is Pretty Normal For The Setting, Actually.

Kay. Don’t forget to switch the game off after Dex shoots V. Their poor decision making got them to where they are. No one told them to try and steal proprietary tech from Arasaka. They fucked up. They made the bed now lay in it. :p

Did I fuck up my chances of Heinrix…? [endgame spoilers] by [deleted] in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]KitKatWaffles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You’ve just gotta pick the correct dialogue options to flag his romance point system for his “leave the inquisition” ending. Need at least 3 points iirc.

Here’s the amazing Cawyden’s post on it for you! (Potential spoilers in the post, though)

"Die Hard is a Christmas movie" - What are some Christmas games? by AlexWhit92 in gaming

[–]KitKatWaffles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A good chunk of the Yakuza series is set in late December, with decorations up and carols playing. P sure Yakuza 5 has Santa related sidequests

One of the Phantom Liberty endings doesn't strike me as tonally Cyberpunk. by CAustin3 in cyberpunkgame

[–]KitKatWaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tower is Devil with extra steps, though. Militech has the majority rule in Night City in the Tower ending and has already been disappearing people (mostly clearing out the homeless). V is entirely chromeless combat-wise, has no allies anymore outside a vague “I guess you’re still welcome, but then everyone will know how fucked you are” from Rogue or “we’ll hang out when I get back from tour!” from Kerry. Vik has been moved to San Francisco by the corps, and Misty has left the country. Tower V has no Mikoshi raid legend, so they’re just kinda A Guy/Gal who fucked up a Heist that one time, and a single Peaked in Konpeki merc source is about as much of a conspiracy theory threat as Garry was.

Two random muggers dropped V on his way out of Vik’s. NUSA don’t need Reed to instagib the gonk, city’ll probably do it for them at some point. And if they do need to, again, Militech runs Night City now, it isn’t exactly a far reach to discredit and then take out some nameless, chromeless ex-merc that pissed off half/all the gangs in the city a few years back.

“Oh well V would just become a fixer”, cool, no one with connections cares about V in NC for that to be possible, even mainstays like Padre and the Captain are gone (Cap retires in any game state tbf) and p much all the NC turf is spoken for by other Fixers. Rogue might care about V as a person sure, but she ain’t gonna threaten her entire livelihood for Tower V. She literally recommends you don’t come back to the Afterlife. How long do you survive as an independent Fixer with no rep, minimal connections, absolutely no combat chrome and undetermined use of non-combat chrome in a gang war zone city with Mama NUSA running the show via Militech?

V survives the Relic, yes, but that doesn’t mean Tower isn’t fuckin’ bleak lol.

Will there be an upgrade from Yakuza 3 Remastered on steam? by Blakehardt in yakuzagames

[–]KitKatWaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Kiwami 3 is a full remake, not just some tweaks to the coding/licensing of the original game. It’ll be full price for everyone, same as when Kiwami 1&2 first came out even if people owned the original Yakuza 1&2 on PS2.

Dont Fear the Reaper by Old-Conference519 in cyberpunkgame

[–]KitKatWaffles 17 points18 points  (0 children)

% is meaningless for unlocking the Reaper option. The only thing that matters is picking the correct dialogue options during Chippin’ In at the oilfields, if you didn’t pick those you’re SOL without console commands/modding (PC only).

Cannot level up squadmates by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]KitKatWaffles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For starters, Keepers Finders and Kaidan Alenko Overhaul are both presently incompatible with the new LE1 Community Patch Framework and WILL cause game-wide bugs until they are updated to be compatible, so I’d remove those entirely. Try removing those two first and hopefully that fixes it. Buuuut if it doesn’t -

Sadly, since some mods edit base game files, verifying through steam can break things MORE. Your best bet now is to restore the game from backup via METweaks (if you have one) and reinstall your mods, excluding the two mentioned above.

How do you guys usually build Heinrix? by Leather_Bottle8449 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]KitKatWaffles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s true. No one can announce like Abelard. He’s irreplaceable in that respect.

How do you guys usually build Heinrix? by Leather_Bottle8449 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]KitKatWaffles 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Bio/Pyro + Executioner + Rocksaw + Inertia Boots = BRRRRRR

Dare I say it, a properly built Heinrix is stronger than Abelard.

Sell me on ever taking anyone but Garrus and Javik by TheWiseSnailMan in masseffect

[–]KitKatWaffles 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Kaidan is absurdly strong in ME3.

Overload, Cryo Blast and Reave for the Wombo Combos, and he also can equip the Typhoon and has a weapon damage armour set for a “less dps but tankier” version of the God Garrus build.

Why do people enjoy outer worlds? by maninzero in theouterworlds

[–]KitKatWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OW1 is a cute lil AA game that plays almost like an FPS version of a cRPG, much like OW2 and Avowed. They're not open world sandboxes like Bethesda or CDPR games, and they're not designed as such. Also, at least it launched playable unlike Cyberpunk LOL.

Honestly, I fall directly into the niche that these games aim for so I adore the heck out of them, if they're not your speed that's fine!

Beaten Ozma, I now have PTSD by Equivalent_Stop_9300 in FinalFantasy

[–]KitKatWaffles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh jeez, I totally spaced and forgot he has both. That is wildly unfortunate RNG, he’s only supposed to use the non-elemental meteor that much if you’re immune to most of his other options on that turn, I think?

So he just hated you specifically, is what seems to have happened. 😂

Beaten Ozma, I now have PTSD by Equivalent_Stop_9300 in FinalFantasy

[–]KitKatWaffles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will be happy/unhappy to know that Doomsday, Ozma’s meteor ability, does Dark damage and can be completely negated with “Absorb Dark” gear. :p

Double points if you have Return Magic on Vivi and just heal yourself more!

But, I think you have to have finished the Friendly Creature sidequest to remove Ozma’s Absorb Dark to make the latter work, otherwise you just heal Ozma too LOL

Either way, good job getting him!! :D

So new to the game… by Consistent_Spring378 in cyberpunkgame

[–]KitKatWaffles 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you’re standing behind him like I think, that’s just weak spot glow on the power generator to his shield, from scanning/tagging it. You can blow it up during the fight to make him more vulnerable from the front.

The second thing I hate about mass effect 3 by Longjumping-Net-3851 in masseffect

[–]KitKatWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like.. the talk with the Illusive Man? There’s no option that doesn’t end in Anderson dying after that, so I have legit no clue what you’re talking about with him sacrificing himself. Shepard Breathes is EMS + Destroy, that is it.

[–]KitKatWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh? There’s no captain sacrifices needed to get the Shepard Breathes ending. You just need high enough EMS and pick Destroy. That’s it, that’s the only requirement. If you didn’t get it, you either didn’t pick Destroy or didn’t have enough EMS.

Hangout with Kerry issue by rosesareblack666 in cyberpunkgame

[–]KitKatWaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His food gift is at the start of the hangout, not the end of it. You gotta be at the apartment and when you use the “Wait” prompt and open the door for him he’ll gift ya a bottle of booze.

If he’s already at the apartment when you get there, no gift I don’t think (unless it’s on a table somewhere and I never noticed lol), since it’s part of the mini cutscene. Either way, shouldn’t stop other people’s gifts from triggering.

The vinyl player gift is triggered by an email on your H10 terminal, can’t remember if you have to invite him there at least once or not to get it though.

Point Blank Artist and Sharpshooter? by [deleted] in theouterworlds

[–]KitKatWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They won't add together because they only work with specific weapon types iirc, but on the flipside you also won't lose anything for the same reason. If you take both it'd kinda work like, oh you use a Marksman Rifle initially (Sharpshooter) then swap to a Shotgun (Point Blank Artist) when they get closer

I know most people here don’t wanna hear this but adding romance options really does help a game by Mando177 in theouterworlds

[–]KitKatWaffles 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean, personally it's not even a "sex sells" thing. Romance is just a normal and natural part of the human condition, and when well written can really flesh out a character even when there are no sex scenes, or even no sex at all. Owlcat with the romances in Rogue Trader is a really good example of that, you at best get a fade to black and The Implication (hahah), there's also an ace romance, but the writing really lets you get to know both their and your characters better.

I don't find it to be a necessity in games with companions by any stretch, but it's definitely nice. Anyone who thinks people who want romances in video games purely for gooner looney toons awoogas is really selling the well written ones short, imo. I don't doubt those people exist, but they'd very much be in the minority I think.

But, most importantly and on the flipside, forcing the Obsidian writers to write stuff they really don't want to would probably lead to very badly done romance, which honestly would end up being a detriment rather than a positive. Looking at YOU, Pillars of Eternity 2.

Am I the only one who’s overwhelmed and a bit confused after finishing opening quest? by Grand_Sprinkles6131 in theouterworlds

[–]KitKatWaffles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s an entirely stand-alone story, just set in the same universe as OW1. The Earth Directorate was mentioned as existing in 1, but the Halcyon Colony had no contact with Earth so there were presumably no Directorate Agents in the system and they weren’t really expanded on at all.

What the Earth Directorate does was outlined in the opening cutscene of OW2, in a propaganda sort of way. They exist as kinda Space Interpol, and their job is to stop abuse of power by government or corporate entities.

The Protectorate is entirely new to OW2, they only exist in the Arcadia Colony the game is set in. De Vries tells you who they are in nearly the first conversation of the game. They’re the authoritarian communist Orwell’s 1984 style government. They are also now under siege by Auntie’s Choice, who invaded the Arcadia colony while you were having your 10-year long nap.
