I was just wondering does anyone know the characters microsoft do or don't use for downloadable games as I think its different compared to xbox live memberships and ms point cards
Thanks
I used to do it a lot, but I've gotten better at trying to just ask on the site instead of looking it all up myself. Sometimes people come up with solutions which are better than you find on wikis and random forums.
@Wipqozn I'm in Jabu-Jabu's belly right now, and I'm fairly certain I've only ever fought the boss here once. Everything after this is going to be like playing it the first time.
Like I know what all the temples look like from speed runs, but I don't know how to actually complete them.
I just got into Jabu-Jabu's belly, and there's annoying enemies all over the place. Jellyfish are only one among them. Two others I've seen are bubbles and floating lamprey-ish guys. If I attack any of them with my sword, I take damage. They are all immune to my slingshot.
How do I deal with the...
On the way up towards Zora's Domain from the central overworld area, there's a long river with a lot of paths over it. I saw 2 pieces of heart on my way up, but couldn't figure out how to get either of them. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the chicken, but I can't figure out how to ge...
Or maybe I needed to copy the profile too, and then it would have worked. The reason why it wouldn't let me was unclear, other than "This save isn't associated with this profile, so you can't use it"
Either way, making it harder to play a single player game is dumb
Technically, this notepad over here discussing stuff I'm working right now is considered classified information, it just doesn't require a security clearance.
B) I don't like that it's been 12 days on a question with no votes, answers, and only 11 views (until just now when I looked) and I didn't get the tumbleweed badge.
In Avadon 1, each companion had a loyalty mission which would cement them to your side. It appears as if Avadon 2 has the same concept. I'm playing a Blademaster, and want a Blademaster/Tinkermage/Mage party, so my other two members are always Yannick and Alcander. I stumbled upon Alcander's ques...
It's a pretty sad sight. I tell her it's time for medicine and she'll run and try to hide. When I grab her, she'll say "noooo! nooo!" and then basically cry, squirm away, try to spit up the medicine while we very slowly administer it via medicine dropper to the back of her throat while she's pinned
However, you get over it seeming awful pretty fast, because you know she could just open her damn mouth and swallow it and be done in like 3 seconds if she wasn't stubborn
@PrivatePansy Think of it like this. Most people will use this for their desktop icons and/or Windows 8 Start Screen. If they can't tell what the icon is from without the background, there's a high chance of them not even taking the time to change the icon for that specific game.
@5pike See, that's the problem of perspective. For those of us that know computers, 350-500 probably isn't a lot of money. But for someone who doesn't, you're talking about spending a quarter to half a thousand dollars.
I could toss down $500 no problem, but I also don't have mortgage payments, a family to look after, a new car to pay off, tommy and susies hockey gear, medical bills (if you live in the USA)....
@badp some, but not all. Also, those are things people feel like you need to have. Although people feellike you need a computer, you don't need a new and fancy one.
In New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. U, when a character gets stuck in a bubble (by dying or by hitting a ‘panic button’), the player could get the bubble to float to another character (faster) by shaking the Wii remote, allowing that character to free the trapped character. That do...
If you live in poverty, you can keep using your Windows XP machine for everything you need, because you shouldn't be buying the latest AAA games anyway
Part of the reason people get stuck in poverty is because they can't afford to buy more expensive and reliable products, and are instead forced to buy cheaper and less reliable ones and then need to replace them. This results in them spending more money in the long run, but they don't really have any chance because they just can't afford to spend the money on the more reliable one. They just never have the surplus funds to spend that kind of money at one time.
@badp People in poverty also tend to be less educated for a variety of reasons, including the fact that their schools tend to be in worse condition (this might be a US only thing, since school funding is tied to taxes in the local area).
@Sterno That's not ransomware. Ransomware is "we've just put your data in this RAR archive with a 512 characters long password and deleted the originals. Pay $200 and we tell you the password."
one example is transportation. The lower your income themore likely you have to rely on public transport to get around. Which, depending on where you live, can make getting better jobs, eduction, et cetera harder.
We all joke about how much money we throw away on steam sales, but if you make a point to only but games during steam sales you'd wind up playing a lot more of those games.
@Yuki I've been doing that for years and so far I've spent €426.24 plus HIBs plus a couple games on Amazon in about five years. €31.82 of these came from the Steam market, so my actual spending is... verly low.
@Sterno I'm really enjoying it. It is fairly easy, but I still love me some Zelda. Like I've said in chat I really like the new item system.Really let's your explore the world. Being able to o the dungeons in any order is good too.
I hope they follow this trend in future games, and make sure to up the difficulty from the get go.
A game that's all about progress and choice in class traits upgrades equipment and runes locks you into the shittiest characters ever with extremely hard 3-hits-and-you-die bosses, missing completely its own point.
@Wipqozn I thought that at first, but I'm actually wondering if that's part of why the game is so easy. It lets you do the dungeons in any order without any serious risk of failure, which means none are really harder than the others. Which in turn means the more dungeons you do, the easier the game becomes (due to sword, armor, and health upgrades)
They could always just do it like Mega Man always does. You can do the bosses in any order, but some of robot monsters are a lot harder than others. You'll only discover that once you get to the boss.
@Yuki they could also divide the dungeons into difficulties.
have multiple tiers of "difficult". Have a few dungeons in each tier.
For open world to be exciting to me in a game where your power progresses, I really want some areas that are challenging and where you can get in over your head if you go to early.
I really hated how Skyrim loot scaled to your level. Yeah, you could go find the cave with level 30 monsters or whatever when you're level 10, but you still got level 10 loot
It might be interesting to have different dungeon progressions indicate different difficulty modes. Like water->forest->fire->etc. being "hard mode" or something like that.
That way you still can have some difficulty curve, but you also allow players to do the dungeons in any order, or at least give them some choice. Even if you come across that super duper difficult dungeon first you still have a few choices of other dungeons to do.
I think it does an awesome job of appearing linear for people who prefer it (which is helpful on the first playthrough), while really letting you do things in the order you want
so is your face. Oh buuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn
