I did C before D mainly because I wanted A2 to snap 9S over her knee.

This hard mode tutorial is pretty brutal, I've died twice to the big fucker you have to fight after the two buzzsaws. I've seen a stream of it so I know that there's something like 2 or 3 phases after that as well. Tempted to just switch down to normal until the first save point.

Hard is unfeasible until your second playthrough at least.

Yeah, just do the tutorial on Normal, the lack of checkpoints plus a hard-hitting boss before you get access to chips isn't a great combo.

As long as you equip pretty much any defense chip you won't get oneshot. e: This isn't a hard game and it's not supposed be dmc/bayonetta levels of SSS rank difficulty. Hard is very reasonable as a first playthrough if you want something more than buttonmashing. Klaus Kinski fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Apr 1, 2017 |

So I just did the boss fight against the giant sea robot and a bunch of my side quests are no longer accessible, am I correct in assuming I'll get access to them again when/if 9S gets fixed? I assumed they were only temporarily blocked off because 9S has dialogue during them. If I won't get access to them again, don't spoil why, tia

So I've been living under a rock in east Tennessee for work the past couple weeks. I just got back home to a shiny new PS4 (never had one before) and now a lot of free time. Now I'd probably prefer to play NieR Automata on my PC since I'd be using a DS4 controller anyways to play it, but is there any problems with the PC port at all that I should go with a PS4 version instead? (I have a 970 so it should probably run pretty well i'd imagine). I've heard some murmirings that it has some minor problems on the PC but seems to work well in general. Just wanted to check

You've gone past the point of no return for sidequests, but you'll be able to pick up most of those sidequests again in your next playthrough and any completed sidequests will remain complete.

The dialogue before the credits states that if they go against their programming there will be resistance from security programs. The credits fight within the actual narrative is 042 fighting the security programming in order to be able to go against Project YoRHa

Is there a trick to killing these super hard ng+ enemies other than hacking them a bunch?. And why don't some of them die?Heaven Spacey posted:So I just did the boss fight against the giant sea robot and a bunch of my side quests are no longer accessible, am I correct in assuming I'll get access to them again when/if 9S gets fixed? I assumed they were only temporarily blocked off because 9S has dialogue during them. That's a point of no return for a bunch of sidequests that they don't tell you about. I know at least one doesn't come back but I was really overpowered at that point and just did the main storyline after that fight so I don't know for sure.

The soul box / flooded city forced hacking section as 9s is really trying my loving patience. I must have had 20 goes of the one where you can't touch the walls, it's really pissing me off. The worst part is I know there's even more hacking to come and I'm probably half way through this gauntlet. I love this game so much but the hacking sections can suck my dick. I had to drop it to easy so the things go down quicker, but even on easy 3 hits kills you. Is there really no way to make the hacking segments easier?

I assume you're using lock-on (available on easy and normal) and it isn't helping? Do the auto-chips work in hacking mode?

...I did not know you could lock on in the hacking minigame. Auto chips don't work. Edit: you can't lock on in hacking? Unless it's a different button?

I think that sequence was the one time where I legit got frustrated at this game. One of the boxes has an "extra" room you really should clear because it makes the puzzle go from hair-pulling hard to kind of a breeze. The other one is just a regular pain tho. gently caress shielded ICE.

It's the hacking game where you have to clear 3 rooms before being allowed into the final one, and all walls are covered in the red boxes that hurt you if you bump into them. The final room has fixed purple things that have rotating sheilds too. I am so over this.

The hacking sections are def. a love hate thing. Which is to say, I loved the god box but hated "hack this enemy with an easy hack in the middle of combat 10 times because obnoxious health pool" just because of it breaking combat flow. vOv

I've honestly never been more frustrated at a game. I got mildly annoyed at Bloodborne and souls in parts but this is just the worst thing I've ever encountered in a game. The movement is way too slippery and imprecise for me to feel like I can improve, I'm exactly as good at it as I was the first time I ever played it.

I think the big problem with most of the hacking games is that they take place in such tight quarters that dodging bullets isn't really an option, which goes against what people think you need to do in a bullet hell game. You need to keep making use of cover and circling around the arena except now whoops we've made the walls out of murderstuff. I never got stymied by any of them but I didn't think they were all that fun, with one very obvious exception.

Murder walls are much harder than any of the other normal hacking things. There aren't many of them so you should be good after this one.

I just realized that there's a "play record" section in the menu.. Both my "Bodies infected" and "Infected bodies subdued" is at 0? Also apparently i completed 530 hacking games over the course of 70 hours, so maybe i'm the wrong person to ask, as i apparently never got tired of it. I loved the puzzle box section, but even i'll never finish that arcade challenge. Rocking a sick 7500 to 60 hard k/d though, i'm coming for you, Engels.

I'll outright spoil it and say that's one of, if not THE last hacking puzzle in that segment. Murderwalls suck because your movement is way too floaty.

Martout posted:am I a dumbo or is the game meant to not show my mouse cursor even in menus? It's probably Kalandiel's FAR mod. One of the updates put in an option to automatically hide the cursor and if you don't give it a delay the cursor will never show up when you move it again.

That one hacking segment easily took me about 20 attempts when I did it earlier today, so it's gratifying to find out I'm not the only one who had problems with it.

Maybe I'm late to the party but for anyone having movement troubles crossing jump gaps... you can hit RS + A to have your pod lunge you forward, in addition to your doublejump and still be able to dash afterwards.....

Also there is a mod to turn your button prompts to DS4 ones. I did have one crash that lost me an hour but that's the only issue I've had.

I'm surprised i haven't come across anything that's locked behind a playing-on-Very-Hard barrier, because it would be just about the most Yoko Taro thing to commend you in-game for switching to Very Hard to initiate the battle/quest and going back down in difficulty immediately afterwards to fulfill the task. But maybe that's still coming, i still haven't gone through the entire game yet. HenryEx fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Apr 1, 2017 |
