For players worried about losing chips it's not too bad once you get 30% item rate up you will be have way too many chips leftover. Also you will end up farming diamond chips at endgame since there's nothing else to do after you clear side quests/secret bosses.

Josuke Higashikata posted: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. A few pages back but it reminded me of a question I have if anyone's played the JP version of the game. The Iron Pipe. The story is clearly a reference to Nier, specifically the father version. In Japan did they go with the brother version, or did they reference the father in that one too because it's the superior version?

e: i think i figured it out. Wow yeah even the menu runs faster lmbo. Game is running like a charm, thank you for the help. Josuke Higashikata posted:Try windowed mode and see if it persists. Tried windowed mode and it doesn't seem to do much. I checked out my computer on can you run it and it suggests a video card that's exactly the same as the one I have. Tarezax posted:If you're playing on something with integrated graphics make sure to force your computer to use your graphics card instead. Otherwise it might just be that your computer isn't very good, like mine. I get some pretty bad slowdown, especially in the city ruins, but get decent framerates in most places. So how would I see if this is the problem? I saw an option under Screen options that looked like it might be related, but there was only one option and it didn't look like a video card.

Not sure, but there's two weapons later with similar stories and the last paragraph is the same except for father/brother daughter/sister.

Do they just cost less or what? I have a few but I'm hesitant to just fuse them up because if I can get more I might as well just fuse those together to min/max like a nerd.

It's good to remember neither version of NieR is necessarily canon because Taroverse is full of alternate timeline tomfoolery

diamonds mean the chip has the lowest possible cost for its level. fusing two diamonds will guarantee the result has a diamond, but in some cases you can fuse a diamond with one that's just one cost point higher and still end up with a diamond as the result due to rounding. example: a +0 cost 4 (diamond) fused with a +0 cost 5 will give you a +1 cost 5 (diamond)

So I'm currently just a bit past ending B and goddamn I just have no idea what the gently caress is going on. the bunker is gone. 2B is dead. Machines are eating everything. There's a huge fuckoff tower. I just wiped Pascal's memory after all of the friendly machines died. THIS SURE IS A YOKO TARO GAME. General mood: second half of original NieR.

Boy oh boy do a wide range of sidequests open up after that hole does. I wish these gave some indication of their difficulty level so I would stop getting murdered as a parade security guard. I'm having a rough time with the difficulty in this game in general, because Normal is far too easy and Hard is far too hard. I cannot even imagine what Very Hard is like.

yea you can quick save from the map screen so long as the game shows the saving available pop up the save/load option in system is different. I guess it's just there so you can save over a different file

Game is pretty fun, so far. Is there a downside to repairing instead of reclaiming your corpse? Gameplay is great. Areas look like a ps2 remaster. Rough coming from Horizon.

I assume you don't get your stuff back if you repair your corpse since you don't get anything for making other player bodies into helpers the helpers are trash anyway so you should always just take the extra cash if you're gonna bother at all imo

Man, it really sucks losing progress in this game because of a crash - on my PS4 pro. It was after finishing up the death cult in the factory, and the rebellion camp gets eaten You have to do a bunch of stuff there, including a boss fight, and there isn't an obvious indicator that you need to SAVE, SAVE NOW. Anyway, apparently there's a recurring crash past that part (seems to be a common problem online) so I now get to go back and fight the previous boss and do a bunch of stuff over again. Like, I don't find lovely save systems quirky or fun. Just use some autosaving, it's a huge quality of life feature in modern games. Or just make sure your poo poo is iron clad and doesn't crash I guess.

Does Evade Range+ affect the number of iframes or just the distance you move?

Manatee Cannon posted:I assume you don't get your stuff back if you repair your corpse since you don't get anything for making other player bodies into helpers That's what I assumed, but when I repaired it asked me if I wanted to reequip my chips. So you get chips back and not consumables? For a game that, on the screen where I have already hit the "email button" will make a popup telling me that I can check my email by hitting the "read email" button, the actual game mechanics aren't really tutorialized at all...

Papercut posted:Does Evade Range+ affect the number of iframes or just the distance you move? I think it's just distance. The spears that refer to both brother and father Nier are the Virtuous and Cruel ones. Pretty sure Repair is just incase you want some help, but I believe they can be corrupt and fight you too. I don't have partner AI on so I never repair, so it has never happened for me.

I'm sorry, how come there is no auto saving? I have died twice now to either the first goliath or the double buzzsaws. This wouldn't annoy me if it didn't mean going ALL the way back to the beginning of the game!

they have a weird dark souls bonfire save system in place after the prologue. turn the difficulty down from w/e it currently is if you're having trouble with it; you'll be able to save once you're past that area

So if it says "Can be exchanged for money." it's safe to sell?

yes tho some stuff sells for more later. like machine cores you might wanna hold on to if you don't need the money right now since they'll sell for more than twice as much in the endgame

I don't mind this game being hard, but it's bullshit that if I die in the first area I have to restart the game completley, not from the boss I died to. I don't wanna put on the training wheels if I can't take them off later.
