(6 * 2) = 12
12 - 8 = 4
4 + 9 = 13
13 / 1 = 0.07?

how are you supposed to solve this?

I agree with you, those puzzles were a little stupid. There are far, far, far better uses of mathematics in video games out there. But, still

>I want vidya to open my my mind not take me back to school.
Why are some people so triggered by math? Some of the most interesting video games out there are interesting in a mathematical sense, and playing them requires some element of abstract thought. I'm not saying that puzzle is an example of this, but your post makes it seem like you'd be turned off to any mathematical ideas in games.

Was there a single console puzzle in both of those games that was actually good? I know they kind of served as nice "diversions," but they really felt out-of-place and forced, and didn't add anything whatsoever to the gameplay. I'd venture that the games would have been better without those puzzles.

Try to name a good console puzzle in those games.
>>
>>339233742
>it's a bioware game with towers of hanoi in it

Gonna have to narrow it down a bit more than that.
>>
>>339234082
I know it was in KOTOR and ME1, maybe ME2 as well. What other of their games has it been in?
>>
>>339233742
It wasn't the hard, just tedious as fuck transferring each ring.

If I remember correctly Onimusha 3, the one with the french actor had that kind of puzzle once

it was straight up middle school math, if i remember correctly
>>
>>339233687
Nah, it just didn't fit at all. Kotor had some legit thought provoking elements. Kreia's outlook on morality got my head spinning. But this?
Seems like the asian autists was the only one that made it to work that day
>>
>>339234074
all the dialogue focused puzzles were cool, like talking to that girl who's language you can't speak or the robot on dantooine.

But they do. Use UniWS and a UI mod for KotOR1. Steam version of KotOR2 supports widescreen natively.

U wot?

KOTOR 2 has been patched with that just last year or so.

Didnt TSL have a patch october last year that made it widescreen compatible

I genuinely don't see how this is easy and still can't fucking figure out how you guys got the answer.
Can someone explain please?

I dream of an Anime x Math game or Anime x Physics. Very low amount of "educational" games out there that aren't complete shit.
>>
>>339234376
>all the dialogue focused puzzles were cool
Oh, yeah, it does fit there. Since dialogue is where those games shine, they should have focused on more puzzles like that.

>>339234393
see
>>339234463;
you can get widescreen support with that mod.

>(6 * 2) - 8 + 9 / 1 = 13

Why not

(6 * 2) - 8 + 9 * 1 = 13
>>
>>339234494
There are only a few symbols that will actually fit without being obviously wrong.

For instance, there is basically no way 8*9 is going to be used and very little chance of them trying to deal with any sort of fraction.

Look at the morality choices of 2 rather than the in your face puzzles. On dantooine you get the choice of siding with the republic or sith about protecting that base (something like that, I can't recall exactly). The game never really hints at it but you can tell each side you'll help them. Kreia commends you for it. Then you can secretly adjust the defenses as you see fit. I thought this was pretty clever and detailed. Really makes kreia's cryptic ramblings click.
There's multiple instances of this, but that's all I can remember right now.

Good taste, my favourite too. That's probably the only downside to modding in Handmaiden for a femexile is that you don't have enough space for them all in your party.

How people don't make the Dxun team Mira (team leader), Visas and Handmaiden is beyond me, though.

The background voice at the beginning is the same dude that did The voices of the main dudes from Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, yknow the voice of Tom from Toonami.
I'm only aware of this because I have Toonami playing on in the background and its 1:1

>>339236259
He has a name: Steve Blum.

He's in a lot of stuff and is known for "the voice" even though he has range.

He also voices Grunt.

This is a factorial problem.

There are only 4 spots, and each time you enter a value, your number of possible answers decreases by one. Ergo, there are only 4*3*2 possible outcomes. That's 24. You can literally brute force this in less than an hour.
>>
I used math to solve a puzzle in Uncharted 4 that was supposed to get triggered off finding a clue, and as I was solving it Drake fucking goes "There are too many permutations!" and disengages. I had to look at all the clues, come back, and THEN do my last move.
>>
>>339239437
Alternatively you can think for 2 minutes and not waste an hour of your life.
>>
>>339239437
why not just write it as 4! ?
>>
>>339239594
I'm just saying. The odds that you'd stumble upon the answer by accident by mashing buttons is pretty high so I can't imagine anybody actually giving up on this shit.
>>
>>339230650
Was it just me or did they tone down on the math shit in kotor2? I remember solving everyones math homework in the first one, the one in the desert was the worst

It did, and it tends to restrict it to actually logical situations - like unlocking/repairing/decrypting a computer, rather than the original's ''here's a puzzle! It's towers of hanoi or it's math''
