Thanks, the Betrayers quest was the exact one that was giving me problems. I am definitely enjoying the game when I'm pushing forward the main plot (and hearing new music tracks!) so maybe I will just keep doing that for a while

You can't actually finish the Betrayers quest until you've done the Forest area.

That's not true. I finished it right before i ventured to the forest. The betrayers are in a random red circle locations, its not a bug.

It's definitely stupid that Nier has quests where all you can do is save and reload to get enemies to spawn so you can kill them for sidequests. Like how hard is that to patch.

Utnayan posted:

And you are a loving idiot who hasn't contributed to a God drat thing your entire life, and that includes words on the internet while you try to continue to troll, and you are so loving bad at it I want to give you some lessons on the art. We could start by everyone looking at your poo poo post history. At least I am consistent and do have ethics in game design. Go snort some coke and have a heyday on another forum. I've been here since 2002 you little gently caress.

Now, with that said...

I love the loving Goons. GOONS ROCK.

I don't want to see Goons spending their money on poo poo. I didn't want to see them spending money on the Switch, which is poo poo, and I do not want to see them being conned into this loving disaster either.

We have a choice my friends. And this goes to the anti shills. And Christ, even the trolls which I love.

You saw this loving pile of poo poo hook line and sinker this last week. You had a chance to play your 10 hours (I guarantee you someone will quote that and say how much of a great time they had in shitville), and you saw, for real, how poo poo this game is.

I want you to ask yourself this. How long have you been playing games. And I also want to ask you how many times have you wanted to have more games to play like Witcher 3, Zelda BOTW, Horizon, all the way down to Bioshock (Whether you liked it or not at least it was loving cool). Break this God drat cycle of poo poo in a box. DO NOT buy this poo poo. FORCE EA to keep releasing titles like BF1.

Yeah. I know exactly how EA operates. I know EXACTLY how this pile of poo poo was developed. I know exactly how they didn't care and expect you to pay for poo poo in a box when it is now EVIDENT it is poo poo in a box.

Imagine 15 games like Horizon Zero dawn a year compiled with 10 games of BOTW for the year. Or 15 the last of us's for the year.

WE CAN HAVE THAT IF YOU STOP BUYING THIS BULLSHIT.

SO START NOW AND PRAISE JESUS CHRIST.

Nah. The problem with the appeal to quality is that it presumes there aren't a finite number of people capable of making amazing art.

Like, if everyone stopped buying lovely pop music we wouldn't suddenly have 10 OK Computers a year. Local bands are proof of this.

Me:A looks like absolute poo poo though. The whole animation department should be shot.
There was talk in here a while ago about how lots of western Devs are really lazy with animations and ME:A literally looks worse in that respect than games that came out ten years ago.

The original Nier had moments that were 8 or 9/10 easily, the problem was that those moments were buried under mounds of really mediocre tedious bullshit.

Still a good game!

I'm honestly somewhat glad I didn't have the opportunity to play the original Nier and instead watched an LP in prep for Automata. I dunno if I'd have had the patience to wade through it for all the endings which is unfortunate because they're really worth seeing.

I'm having enough fun with Automata that at least for now I'm intending to 100% it.
