Did 'Lord of the Valley' by standing on a ledge, tying a rubber band to the pad, and walking away for an hour.

Maybe I'm being a little too forceful with these sidequests.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Starting playthrough 2, question:

So playing 9s, the one weapon is it Am I really limited to just mashing square this whole second playthrough? Like I know he has the hacking but that just takes up more time. Why even put platinum on this game if combat is going to be this simplistic, please tell me im missing something here.

He has a different moveset if you evade first then attack but other than that yeah. It's finicky so the best way to do it is from a neutral dodge.

I think I went in assuming this would be Bayonetta 3 so I was a bit put off by the open world aspect, especially coming off of Zelda and then going into this completely uninteresting world of ruins and poo poo. I kind of wish the world was smaller because there is really no point to making it this big. I need more fights and less errands.

Are there more interesting characters that come into play besides the docile robot village, so far they've been the most fun and I'm already bored to loving death with these dirt-clad Resistance fucks and the complete "whatever" attitude from 2B

People are freaking out and dogpiling this guy on Twitter because he brought Automata's metacritic score down from 90 is 89 with his (admittedly stupid) review. I miss the days we just had dudes ragequitting over the fishing mini-game. It was a more innocent time...

Edit: Not NieR, but dozens and dozens of Japanese people leaving 1-star reviews on Amazon for Drakengard 3 after getting Ending A was pretty funny too. It's not a Yoko game without some review shenanigans!

Indeed you are. You were supposed to just come back later. The fact that it took that long should have sort of hinted it for you!

Just finished ending b today and started the next route the timing on the title sequence popping up gently caress yes so good and also the fact that it basically did a sequel hook and then said hey btw this game is that sequel was perfect. I loved it. Also glad to not be playing as 9S for a bit.

Route C

Just died during the 2B infection period. I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing but I can't shake enemies due to no running or jumping and can't attack so I just get corner hosed and sent a mile back. This is hot garbage jesus. Completely took me out of the moment.

Yeah, it's a pain. Run past everything, don't fight. When you come out of the pipe head left and you can get back to the top without jumping. Once there wait until you have full movement and jump across the gap, it's the only time you'll need to jump. Then just head for the mall, skirting around enemies. If you take a route that requires more jumping it's real bad. On the plus side, you never have to do it again!

Got it, thanks for that. Route C question though.

Is there a order I should support first? I don't want to go to like, 9S and then have to delete my game or something and miss out on A2.

You don't miss out on anything, it's just of matter of who's quest you want to see/play first. You'll get the chance to select the other character later in the playthrough.

The stuff in my inventory that says "Can be exchanged for money" - the only use for that stuff is selling, right? Because I just realized I have like 200k worth of that stuff.

I highly recommend you keep at least 5 of anything that has that label. It's what I did and it ended up helping.

If you're referring to the Desert Roses then that quest gives you 5 set spawns of them, two of them are on a ledge on the side of the canyon though, where there's also a chest to be found.

What about stuff like Machine Core, Precious Earrings, Lovely Choker, etc etc, as well as all my caught fish?


Also, when I'm retrieving the stuff from all these corpses and I get like "+2 Hp" and "+1 attack" is that just a temp buff or is this a permanent increase?

Hagel or whatever it was called. Game wanted me to enter berserk state which left me with 0 hp at all times, even when I decided to try to get by without using it the screen was so cluttered with trash and off screen lasers it was impossible to actually dodge anything. It was bad.

Yeah that's the one I figured you were complaining about. The camera in that fight is absolutely atrocious, which sucks cause otherwise it might actually be a fun fight.

Temp buffs. But sometimes what they can give is absolutely crazy. +4 or 5 is something I have seen happen. If it happens to be to something you already have, it can stack.

I can't tell if it's just me, but Route C is unbearably hard. Everything from the saving squadrons part to the giant orb centipede to the data Adam/Eve wannabe suddenly one hit killing me from full health (with an admittedly sick combo) feels kinda unfair on Normal compared to the rest of the game so far.

Literally go out and kill any black dots even remotely nearby. Then kill some further out.

I had the same issue. A lot of times NPCs won't talk to you if there's anything hostile within like, a football field of you.

I had the same bug. For me I just had to walk away a short distance, such as the edge of the crater, and then walk back and I could talk to him. I did have to redo the block pushing though.
