I feel weird because Zelda is a more fun game but nier is so well put together in how everything interacts and means something that I feel like it deserves to be called one of the best games

It's like if we had a best directed Nier slam dunks that category

Nier:A is so good that i want to keep playing, but i think i need a break after finishing route C and also i don't want it to ever end, even though i need to see it through.

D is only an alternate ending and you get E straight after so there's only about 15 minutes of actual story left.

I think Blizzard still has the lead with "this entire species was just a corrupted version of this other species". But yeah, the Darkspawn, obviously, and then the Reapers I guess, for that reveal that they're made out of lots of mushed up dead people? Oh, and then I guess there's some stuff with the dwarves in Dragon Age Inquisition, too? It's hard to remember every instance of such a rote fantasy plot point.


Man the Reapers are the textbook example for introducing something interesting and then them becoming lamer the more you learn about them.

Why does it get stylized as "NieR"?

"Nier" backwards is "rein", which means "kidney" in French!

(e) Someone mentioned Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and I could maybe possibly use an RPG to play. Worth a try anyway, Wii U's sitting pretty fallow otherwise. Does it have much in the way of decision making a la Persona (read: missable stuff) or is it pretty straightforward?

It's straightforward. There is one missable thing and that is only if you're a jerk to Tsubasa all the time.

Fair 'nuff. Gonna give the game a try I reckon. Lord knows if I can physically handle as much pure Japan as I'm seeing in these screenshots, my tolerance is usually pretty high though :v:

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Metroid: Rogue Dawn is pretty fun but it really does feel like a sequel to the NES metroid and not Super Metroid, which means it's missing some pretty darn useful convenience features, chief among them the ability to crouch and shoot. Another feature I'd like is "knowing what the gently caress to do next".

If you like the gameplay in ME:A it's pretty hard to imagine you hating the gameplay in ME3 entirely and if you don't then it is also bad.

I was thinking about trying for the platinum trophy in Ys Origin because they didn't seem too bad as long as I could beat it on Nightmare with one character. Then I looked at the requirements for getting all the shop items and eh, nah I'm good.
