Yeah if you hold L1 for a bit the next pod will come out and do the move as well. It can do monster damage but it increases (doubles?) the cooldown

i found the cooldown is also per pod, so you can switch between to do two blasts. i got a 3rd pod in a pretty funny way, didn't expect it at all.

skimming this thread, the game seems totally epic. couple Qs... need i play nier before i play this? and also are upgrades or w/e actually called plugins because if so, Noice.

No probably not. There seems to be little bits and pieces of homage and repetition from the first one but I don't know how heavily that will factor into the story. but if you're ever going to play Nier, play it before Automata because you if you try after you will swing Caim's sword once and hurl

ya Nier was a fun game at the time but it is a little dated and the combat wasn't amazing

from what i've heard Nier is an extremely unique experience, if a bit clunky, but it is certainly on my list. what platforms is it on ?

Lol for like half a second I seriously thought [bigass spoilers about the structure of this game] for the 9S play through I was going to follow an exact recording of my 2B play through like a TAS bot replay even though that would probably be completely insane technically to pull off

when I realized what was happening I couldn't believe that had been pulled off. Other stuff to keep an eye out for keep an eye out in cutscenes for something. I noticed that there were new things off the center of focus that the cutscene doesn't acknowledge. I'm positive I've missed stuff because when I first saw a change it only lasted for a second. Do not skip the cutscenes

is there any point to the voice modulation? its an unsettling effect but I turned it off after the factory section because I kinda just wanna hear 9s's actual voice

got the game yesterday, finally got some quality time with it

wish I could not have lock on and the expanded enemy moveset hard has without dieing in two hits.

Also they knock the soundtrack out of the park goddam. I was worried since I didn't really feelthe so yhe from the demo but every other song has just been great.

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

the soundtrack is also really good because there are parts where I thought it was broken because I was doing totally badass poo poo but the music was still this sedate warbling and after two or three times of that happening I was like Oh Duh

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

Also I dont really understand the No Lock On on hard. I feel like lock on is useless 99% of the time except in like one or two boss battles, so it would be really nice to have it for those certain times considering I died loving like 4 times in a row on, no joke, the ending A fight with Eve, because in the final phase while youre standing up after the system stun, the camera does this lugubrious sky tilt and shake, to simulate you getting up, but during this like 1 second animation, Eve is queuing up their next attack, so I got killed without recourse by offscreen bullets while I was unable to control my character or camera 4 times in a row, with all the load times and boss fight I had to go through each time, and I almost snapped my controller in half. But you can shoot with the pod and try to disrupt it but it was just a total crapshoot without lock on

I can't even believe how much they went in on the music. The songs themselves are so so good, I was stunned that there are chiptune versions of like 95 percent of the music that transfers in seamlessly during hacks, and that there are seemingly unique tracks that are for specific side quests.
