The Automata demo is essentially the start of the game and if you die during it in the full game, you have to restart the entire game from the opening so I would recommend not hammering the demo too much from now until release/when you buy it. I still haven't found a pair of combat bracers in the wild or for purchase.

redreader posted:2 questions! Dark Lance is something you should never be without and I think I switched between Dark Blast (for bullet hells), the fist for a quick close range attack, and the one that ricochets you between every enemy you caught in the "charging" circle for when there was a lot of small enemies.

About 9 hours in now, taking my time with exploration and side quests though. Game's got a lot more charm than I was expecting when I started, the machines themselves have so much personality. They're some of my favorite parts.

Just got the second ending. Does anyone know how may there are and what you need to do to get them? I think I read that there are 4 main endings, A-D, and you just replay to get them, and then there are a few that I stumbled upon with early deaths. Wondering if there is anything like in the first game where you need every weapon or whatever.

This game badly needs a "get the gently caress off my rear end when I'm trying to talk to people or loot stuff, 9s, you creeper, no I don't care what combat style you use, I will never care what combat style you use" button.

Man, aren't Platinum titles normally really polished on a technical level? I guess I haven't played any of them at release before, but I haven't run into any real bugs with any of the previous ones I've played.

I just completed Route A. This game has a lot more personality under the surface than I ever expected. I had a huge grin the entire section through the machine factory cult zones. The soundtrack is particularly amazing. I'm taking a break tonight, but looking forward to starting route B tomorrow.

It should pick a server that is closer to you and you will get much faster download speeds. Try it a few times if it doesn't work right away.

Sorry if this has been addressed (I skipped over a bunch of posts to avoid potential spoilers) but I downloaded the game, it told me it was complete, I played thru the demo section and have been stuck at the System Check load screen for over an hour. What I want to know is if I stay on this screen will it eventually load? Or should I start the game over? If it's a bug I'd hate to waste time. I wanted to congratulate Yoko for escaping the kusoge pit but of course there has to be soooomething lol.  Also I barely kept my poo poo together playing Normal! You Very Hard mofos are something else!

It's a bug they were supposed to fix so you'll have to restart. Hmm I'm thinking that a few more weeks of troubleshooting before USA release will help.

Now I see that I actually have another 45 minutes of download time left! That bites, but I ate it pretty bad before I got used to the controls (never got the chance to play the demo) so I'll use this opportunity to ace it next time. See you guys after I complete the game! Happy NieRing! Take your time and have fun!

Here's a pro-tip: if you're like me and you tend to do every possible side quest before advancing the main plot, it's still very worth it to at least get past the mission where you investigate the big hole in the ground before you go too side quest crazy. Minor spoiler (about a game mechanic, nothing story-wise): After that mission, you get fast travel between any access point you've unlocked. I wasted a LOT of time manually running everywhere to complete some of these side quests..

No idea where I'm supposed to go for the Treasure Hunt in the Forest side quest, after I've constructed the key e: There's a ladder to go down. Also found the a set of combat bracers out in the open world in the Forest Zone.

So people who have already beaten the game once through. Does this live up to the hype in terms of gameplay mechanics? For someone who doesn't care about Yoko Taro and his weird meta-universe, how is the game in terms of the combat? It had a lot of hype being a Platinum game. Is is as good as DMC & Bayonetta? I'm just coming off Nioh, and I feel like it's gonna be hard to top that.

It's not a super in-depth combat game like Bayonetta or DMC, or Rising, which is less of one than those two games as well. It doesn't try to be one either. It's probably not even a fair comparison at heart. I've not played Ni-Oh but that game also looks more technical than this one from what I've seen of it (quite a lot). It's deeper than a Souls or Bloodborne though if we're going to dive into that sub-genre of ARPG. It's really what it says on the tin, it's as if Platinum made an action RPG with their tight, responsive combat but it's still an ARPG and bound by the general rules of one. It's awesome, but it's not what you're looking for if you want Bayonetta 3. You can just play the demo because it gives a very good impression of the combat mechanics (and a pretty poor impression of everything else because it doesn't lead you to believe that this game is ARPG to its very core). If you like the combat of the demo, you'll like the real thing.

So I just noticed that pressing in both analogue sticks causes your character to self destruct unless you let go within two seconds. I don't know the function of this ability but then again this is the game that lets you pull out your own brain. You can test this out yourself without looking at the spoiler but it's a good idea to be ready to let go quickly.

I'm not sure it's a spoiler considering that it's literally there in the controls menu. You can use that to remove 2Bs skirt. Although there's probably a specific use for it later.

You just have to create an account with a dummy physical address on that region's store, then buy a few gift cards for that region from amazon or whatever. That's all. Only potential downside is that DLC is region locked. So, if there is any you want, you'll have to buy it on the JP store as well. Probably not more than an inconvenience, but I believe there have been instances of DLC not having the same multi-language support as the full game. (Buying from the HK store would probably cover your rear end just fine. It's a much safer bet that anything sold there will have English support).

The item though is very apparently the item I described. As for maxing your weapons, there's a Blacksmith in a later area, not very late, somewhat hidden who does it. Not sure about those doors, probably on a second/third playthrough, you can open them.

Yeah, I'm on my third playthrough, was thinking the same thing, but still nothing there. Is the shop Emil? I found him, but may have missed the item, I tend to just speed "read" through lists and miss poo poo
