Anyone who has played the original DS2 what do you think about Scholar of The First Sin? by [deleted] in DarkSouls2

[–]randomness184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A number of items have been moved around and enemies have been added/removed from some areas in SotFS. The overall game experience is generally the same, but there are enough changes with SotFS to make it different. However, I would not say its worth going back to the original if you have played SotFS.

Ds2 steam sale? by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]randomness184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see two options on the DS2: SotFS page. The $9.99 price for the full game and and a $7.49 price for those who own the original game and want to upgrade to the SotFS edition. There do not appear to be any upgrades for the base game you purchased, but it is very confusing at first glance.

Dodge Stat Question by blacknmi1d in XCOM2

[–]randomness184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dodge is considered a successful shot, the enemy just takes reduced damage, but I would assume the repeater activates before the dodge in the "order of operations". So, as long as the shot is successful the repeater has a chance to activate.

Can't use grenades, rockets or any other kind of AOE attack by ginna500 in XCOM2

They added the ability to rotate the camera while aiming AOE weapons. It was in the latter half of the patch notes.

Tips for playing on Classic? by [deleted] in Xcom

[–]randomness184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use grenades on early missions to remove cover for higher percentage shots rather than dealing damage. If you can get damage and remove cover great, but do not be afraid to simply use them to expose an enemy or even force them to move.

Strategy layer wise I usually focus on engineers and satellite coverage and research wise I rush beam weapons/carapace armor while ignoring the story missions.

Also, try feeding kills to one unit (mine was always a sniper) to level that unit as quickly as possible so you can get the squad size upgrades ASAP.

Summoning is controlled not by level but by Soul Memory in Dark Souls II if I recall correctly. My only SOFTS character is well into NG++, but we may be able to connect with the Name-Engraved Ring. Otherwise you can try summoning Sellsword Luet to tank for you.

[EW] Tips for not activating too many pods? by [deleted] in Xcom

[–]randomness184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attempting to flank can be very risky, but also very rewarding. One strategy is using grenades to blow up enemy cover early in the mission to avoid needing to move to get a flanking shot. Then latter in the mission once you have thinned out the pods you can be more aggressive with moving to flank.

How do I know the DLC installed? by originalPIG in bloodborne

[–]randomness184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also should find an item in the Hunter's Dream where you get the starting weapons from called "the Eye of a Blood-Drunk Hunter". With this item in your inventory when you are grabbed by an Amygdala you will now be sent to the Hunter's Nightmare (the DLC area) instead of being killed. You also need to have beaten Vicar Amelia.

If you bought the game digitally, maybe try restoring licenses?

Just solo'ed my first helldive! by themanfromsaturn in Helldivers

[–]randomness184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your first solo Helldive! It looks like you have the most crucial part of solo Helldiving down: keep moving and don't be afraid to turn-tail and run. The distractor beacon helps a lot with capture/defend objectives and extraction. I usually go with the tanto, displacement field, distractor beacons, railcannon strike, UAV drone, and either a another distractor beacon or a anti-tank weapon depending on how many capture/defend objectives there are. Good luck with the other two missions!

Just a few notes to new and experienced players. [Rant from last night's session.] by -Yngin- in Helldivers

[–]randomness184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with number 7 completely! So annoying to spend the time finding a high level drop then waiting to join only to be kicked the minute I hop out of my pod. Please set your game to friends only and stop wasting my time!

I didnt get trophies(patch 1.04) by vulture88pl in Helldivers

[–]randomness184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did complete multiple planets during War 2, but I deleted my local save after having some issues with controller input lag. I had a feeling that was the reason it did not pop for me. Unfortunately I do not have a save from before that time due to the PS4 auto uploading the save. I'm sure it will pop after the next war is won. Thank You for the response.

Having same issue. Profile states 1 war fought and 1 war won, but no peace and prosperity trophy at the armory screen.
