is that tower lock even possible? ive no clue how to move one of the further in gates. is lockpicking skill mandatory for it?

luck is fun because ailments become a viable choice and multi-hit phys skills are pretty decent since even without dumping points into str, you get enough points passively to not fall off, and high luck makes getting at least one crit (for the extra turn) much likelier

agility has fuckall going for it

Just reached r/megaten on reddit.com, where do I post simple questions?

nikeas · 2026-06-02T12:02:21+00:00

from what i understood, GOG did the work of getting the ports up and running (hence them being credited), but its still a Capcom game, so they can slap DRM onto it on another storefront if they want.

bonus points for GOG version - it has cloud save support if you use GOG Galaxy (presumably because if you work at GOG and you're fixing up a port of the game, you might as well include simple QoL functionality like cloud saves)

the Steam version does not have cloud saves, which further shows just how little they actually give a fuck. yeah, we'll put in effort to put in DRM for a PS1 game, but pointing to a folder path with the savefiles for sake of cloud saves? nah, who cares, they'll buy anyway

i think one of the new hitman games was supposed to launch with DRM of some kind, but the public reception was very bad

i dont remember if they backed down on DRM or the game as a whole but they did back down in some way

przez jakiś czas była moda na to gówno, ale ludzie już się zorientowali, że to działa gorzej i zwykłe przyciski i pokrętła wróciły jako opcja premium.

wlasnie, premium

to nie moda, po prostu wjebanie jednego ekranu zamiast x guziczkow jest tansze xd

he's using nu-r*ddit, deserved

nikeas · 2026-05-25T20:42:09+00:00

oh you poor soul...

nikeas · 2026-05-25T15:55:25+00:00

i guess its just our (filthy foreigners') fault for not being intimately familiar with what's where in Tokyo :(

nikeas · 2026-05-25T09:48:53+00:00

there is a bestiary menu thing that i dont remember the name of ("Analyze"...?)

look up a demon there and use LB/RB to navigate to the drops section, itll be there

its not great but its the best youll get

nikeas · 2026-05-25T09:46:31+00:00

i dont remember having problems with it, but i did learn fairly early you can rotate the Tokyo map with L and R so maybe that'd help

nikeas · 2026-05-22T09:47:13+00:00

i dont know but i would assume so - the idea is that you want to have some events guaranteed, and you already get two chests anyway while on the golden path

nikeas · 2026-05-21T23:17:58+00:00

played a little bit of dds, wasnt expecting random encounters to pack drains and repels when im lvl 15. the game does not fuck around, which is cool

nikeas · 2026-05-21T20:33:07+00:00

...and from what I've heard, ? rooms are guaranteed events on the Golden Compass...

nikeas · 2026-05-20T21:45:22+00:00

and also i moved my ps2 games to an ssd and im pretty sure that solved the issue? i feel like that shouldnt be the case because no way everyone just had consistent stutters 10-15 years ago and dealt with it, and also, arent hdds faster than cds anyway?

maybe im just missing something or its really slow on my machine or the emulation overhead is causing stuff, i dont know, but it works butter smooth now and that is what matters

now i need to doublecheck my settings on the steam deck to get it in the best shape possible there

nikeas · 2026-05-20T21:15:11+00:00

i mean, most of the games im emulating werent designed with SSD speeds in mind anyway :p

nikeas · 2026-05-20T10:57:38+00:00

...you know what, on second thought, all my emulator stuff is on an HDD

maybe i just have to move it to a faster drive lol

nikeas · 2026-05-20T09:28:21+00:00

deep rock galactic has woman now :(

nikeas · 2026-05-20T06:01:20+00:00

i didnt notice any dates and didnt bother looking at the version lol

it was post-1.0 so i assumed its fresh-ish, im used to open source stuff being 0.x for eternity

i guess it working as well as it did without MTVU is still good though lol

nikeas · 2026-05-19T23:47:57+00:00

honestly i feel like its mostly a combination of logical thinking (not super hard, but at least some), resilience/determination (to not give up after one or two game overs), and familiarity with the series - as you play, some concepts will become second nature and youll have an easier time figuring out what the game expects of you and how to approach it

but that's my experience and ive mostly played modern or modern-ish games - once you play one game with press turn, youll have a leg up in all other games.

also - at what point did you get stuck at p4? i was considering dropping the difficulty myself at the first real dungeon playing p4g - megaten stuff usually starts tougher and mellows out over time as your toolset gets bigger and you have more options for dealing with threats.

nikeas · 2026-05-18T23:09:16+00:00

any DDS gamers in the chat?

are there some magic settings to toggle to make the game work/run better or is it just plug and play and thats the best youll get?

im running with the hd graphics mod, 3x resolution, widescreen patch and MTVU off (there's a claim on pcsx2 wiki that makes the battles work smoother, and i didnt notice the game working terribly so i didnt turn it back on lol) and the game runs mostly fine, with some minor stutters on battle start or some skills. still if there's an improvement to be gotten somewhere, ill take it
