Hi! I have a couple of questions. Does the PC port run like poo poo for anybody else, or is it Just My Machine®? I'm getting ~50fps on medium and I know my computer isn't that bad. I've isolated myself from any internet discussion regarding the game so I don't know. Also, is there a fix for the game automatically going in windowed mode after alt-tabbing? Lastly, I use Japanese audio, and reading subtitles while fighting isn't the easiest thing to do. Generally, games have a way to read previous dialog. I'm either going insane or this game doesn't have something like this at all. Does it?

Calaveron posted:I just wish the game had quick travel or something because despite 2B being fast as all hell it still takes a while to get to other places Moose riding seems a bit faster than sprinting to me. Also the way the game switches modes and perspectives is pretty cool. I'm not really far into the game yet, but I was especially impressed by the whirly-car thing in the amusement park where there were multiple layers of 2D sidescrolling and normal third person camera areas that were all wrapped around the machine.

The important thing about the later taunt is that there's a unique animation for each weapon when it's in the primary slot, as well as one for the bare fists, but the bare fists one is shared with Dress Module.

On that note, I'm having a hard time using anything other than the Pipe + 4O GS and Ancient Overlord + Type-3 GS on that character. Other than looking awesome, all of those things synergize way too well and are insanely effective. All level 4, obviously.

Thinking about it, it's possible short swords and bracers share an animation for that taunt.

Oh man, I really love this game and I'm really not sure why. I'm at work on a Saturday and thinking about a video game. That hadn't happened since Half-Life 2. Also, I'm pretty sure i screwed myself out of a ton of sidequests. Is there any reason why Jean-Paul / Sartre's name is bleeped out of voiced lines?

The voice acting says "Sartre" but for some reason they can't use the name in the English version apparently? It's weird that just a surname would be copyrighted though

Taro specifically said at the XVxAutomata panel at PAX that the changes that are in the US/EU release were copyright related so whatever specific reason they might have had to change Beauvoir and Sartre, it's a copyright one.

Got to the final ending and drat, I miss the game already. This was my favourite game in a long time, I've already ordered Nier on PS3 to get my melancholy and music fix.

Now that I've seen all the endings can someone tell me what the two YoRHa units in the desert: oil field area are doing there, and what the room of monitors stacked on top of each other at the bottom of the Opera Singer boss's stage are for?

Qmass posted:also can someone wax a bit on weapon stats and lt/hv slot jiggery please How do you mean, exactly? The Damage Ranges are pretty self explanatory and you can get the game to expand on their passive effects with some menu diving.

The YoRHa units sell you some primo home made drugs if you finish Jackass' Research. The TVs are for 9S's game developer side quest. Quest giver shows up there if you go after killing the Opera boss as him in Route B

No idea about the former. Them and the lady at the oasis seem to just be hanging out. The monitor room is where you get a quest for the game developer machine. Josuke Higashikata posted:The YoRHa units sell you some primo home made drugs if you finish Jackass' Research. That reminds me no matter what chapter I seem to select Jackass gives me the "thanks for helping me out" dialogue and I can't get any of her quests anymore. I don't know what's up with that

Swapping chapters resets certain flags and the flag for this event is probably triggered by the mail/reading the mail. You can go get it whenever if it is flagged, 10 seconds or 10 hours later, but if you reset the flag you probably need to trigger it again. I'm fairly certain you need to be after the fast travel unlock for it to be mailed to you.

Post-End game optional subquest spoilers and theories: I really wonder if the machines look like that because Emil was the first line of defense against the aliens, and they adapted to fighting against him. Another thing is that I couldn't help but notice that Emil always said he fought against the ALIENS, not the machines. The short video about him also shows him directly fighting against the aliens with his copies, no machines there. And you can see him peacefully coexisting with the machines in the city ruins. If the was driven enough to multiply to fight the aliens the point of losing all his memories, you would think he would still be fighting to this day, knowing nothing else. I think this theory can be easily disproven, but it would be even more tragic if Emil was the one who created the machines after his multiplication efforts didn't prove enough, then they defeated the aliens and turned on the androids so they could keep on fighting.

Should I play Nier before getting this game? I can get it on PS3 but I don't have a working tv so I'd need to use my PC monitor so I'm not sure it'd be worth the effort if it's not that connected.

Nier has arguably a better plot than this one but it's extremely tiring and repetitive to play. It's definitely not for everyone but I bet mostly everyone who played it here loved it, so I'd say go for it. Playing it will make the second game even more amazing.

Pro-tip for first Nier: If you want to trivialize combat, just use the Large sword's charged jump attack and dodge cancel it once you hit the ground. It's extremely safe and does huge damage and a large AOE.

Not much gets me misty eyed, but the clear NieR 1 nostalgia pandering parts of Automata got me. They're both wonderful games, even if NieR is more of a flawed gem than Automata is.
