AC4

[VeilSide]

hey Veilside,I bought AC4 and it should arrive at friday,if ever i don't understand the game,please help me understand it 

sure thing. i'll try to help as best i can.

by the way,what are the controls?

don't bother memorizing the standard controller setup. i swear, it's so f*cking retarded. it's set up so that you can't shoot and control looking direction at the same time. i don't know if my scheme will be comfortable for you, so i think you're better off walking through the basic tutorial it gives you and then making your own control scheme up. i have a feeling everyone who plays this game will be doing the same thing.



finally got back from new york and beat the game on normal difficulty. i haven't S-ranked everything, so i don't have all the parts. some of the missions are kinda hard, but most of them can be beaten in less than like 5 minutes. 1-player LR is harder than this game, IMHO. either that or i have mad tyte skillz lol.

i learned that you earn more customization points the further you play the 1p game. this means A LOT. for example, the videos you guys saw where the OB drains EN and KP (formerly "primal energy," my wife told me it was "Kojima Particles" that power PA) really quickly. well, if enough of these tuning points are used with the right gen/boosters combo, then you can actually not only OB forever... but after the 1.10 update, also regain EN and KP while OBing. crazy stuff.

your AC doesn't have to be super energy efficient. there are KP-restoring extensions that act much like the energy extensions of previous games. i don't think these will be broken since energy management at this level is a no-brainer even with a relatively high-drain AC.

i also have the MOONLIGHT now. it's pretty pimp when you dual wield them. i also have the KARASAWA... i think... at least, it sure does look like it, but it's called the CANOPUS so i dunno. i also found that you can hanger the weakest blade. i wonder why it took me so long to figure that out. huh.

oh, good news for all you tank users - tanks can hanger any arm weapon. that's right. ANY arm weapon. think about that for a moment. i'll let it sink in.





i think somone asked if there were linear guns in the game... i don't think there are, but there are rail guns. they're more like LR's linear rifles now rather than the LADON that you have to charge.

the Kojima rifles are really powerful, as you guys can see in these <a href='http://www46.tok2.com/home2/tateda/movie.html' target='_blank'>videos</a> (like the LX cannon on crack) , but they need to be charged before firing. you get to control how long to charge them, so you can hold the charge for as long as you want. also, if you're in a hurry, they don't need to be charged all the way before firing. the gun's power stat is kinda lackluster, but i'm guessing that's the stat at the lowest, and therefore weakest, charge point.
