Xaris posted: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. it's not the most optimized game in the world but on my 970 i was able to keep 60 fps most of the time with all settings turned up except antialiasing which had to be off completely. to maintain a pretty constant 60 fps you'd have to turn off ambient occlusion (which also seemingly includes some type of post-aa) but as long as you don't mind some drops to the 50s when running around the open world it can be kept on. it'll still run better than the base ps4 version.

The hacking minigame is what made me so happy that I loving loved Geometry Wars. It owned.

I learned Auto chips worked on hacking after getting through all of the Soul Box on Normal, including that one rear end in a top hat chest that took about 20 tries, and then getting to the boss. And raising an infected android. Without having saved.

McDragon posted:I did C before D mainly because I wanted A2 to snap 9S over her knee. My favorite thing about those two endings is that A2 beat 9S sound and clean while on the flipside, 9S only wins because 2B's promise made A2 hesitate and even then 9S just bumblefucks his way into getting brutally impaled by A2's sword.

Man I just waltzed through the hacking sections of the game easy-peasy wondering "Huh I wonder when they'll get to the hard stuff?" so I'm kinda shocked hearing people get blocked by it.

there were some parts later in the game that definitely took me a few tries but it was never anything i was banging my head against, and i don't even play a lot of twin stick shooters. just keep at it if you're having trouble, you'll get it eventually!

So I'm gonna start the game up again, haven't played since I got ending E my first go around. This is my 100 percent run, I'd like to get all the weapons and whatnot. I'll also be playing on Hard mode just for kicks. I know that (some big big spoilers ahead): I gotta erase Pascal's memories to get access to new weapons that way, and I know Emil's shop has unique weapons...the only other weapons vendors I found before were the Resistance and the Machine Village normal. Are there any other potentially missable weapon sources? To get the super secret chocolate-stuffed content, do I have to collect all the weapons or collect and fully upgrade them all as well?

Finally got around to beating this yesterday after having to put it on hold for work for a week. Video games are art. Found out Ending E erases your save so I'm putting that off until I can finish up all the other stuff I want to do, but yeah, good game. Couple rough spots though, and the story and cast of the original Nier are still closer to my heart. I'll have a few more things to say once I'm 100% done but thanks for the ride Taro Yoko.

Motherfucker a video game made me cry. Totally for real end of game spoilers: I lost my poo poo when those loving pep talks showed up on my screen. Then again when the gang of shooters showed up. I was all nice and happy at the cutscene, decided I was okay with things if this was the big DELETE YOUR poo poo spot, went to put my message in. Saw there were a whole bunch of mean comments that could have been left but weren't, then lost it all over again. I have so many more substantial thoughts, but I need to go.. I dunno, hug something. Thanks guys. It was worth it.

So I'm trying to get more Unit Data to finish that side quest that needs Unit Data and I'm going through my list and discovered that 9S is missing from my Android list. How do I get this? Edit: Same question for Masamune. Killing him doesn't give the unit data.

Totally for real end of game spoilers: Yeah when I got to that point I was legitimately surprised that I hadn't seen a single negative one when I was trying to bang my head against it without "cheating". Of course, the jaded section of me wonders if it's not because the game just doesn't show negative ones when they're selected, or (comedy option) only shows negative ones to you in response to you putting a negative one in. Someone deleting their save data and having their brand spanking new title screen covered in "you suck"/"just give up" messages because that's the negativity they chose to leave for someone else would be the best thing in the world.

Well there's only the available presets offered to players like the death messages. Regardless, I'm sure someone will figure out a way to leave vaguely rude messages to the next player.

If you scroll down far enough when selecting the messages they definitely got explicitly and unapologetically mean in a "stop playing/you suck/you will never be able to get through this so just give up" kind of way.

Well I just did C/D/E in one sitting. It's funny, intellectually I thought C and D were interesting but I had already felt emotionally drained just getting to that point that I was like, "OK, I guess that's how things had to end." Then loving E, man. That really got me in a way I wasn't expecting. Oh man, this was a real trip

Ending E talk I'm filling this dumb world with nice messages. I can clear without losing other peoples saves now while junking my own and playing again. That being said my last run I did get one of the "mean" messages. It was basically "I know it's hard, but still, put your back into it you #@)*$!" Reads more like Kaine yelling it though now that I'm looking at it again

I wouldn't say Hard is the only way to play, because it's simply not, but it does encourage a lot more of a reasoned playstyle. It's a flawed but interesting difficulty. Unless you go full coward pod only AI partner MVP, which at that point, might as well go Easy Auto 'cos you're not really playing a game.

So, beat ending B at around 1am, so like 2 and a half hours ago. Started route C. Holy poo poo. I need to sleep right now but I hope to god I have enough hours in the weekend to beat this thing before getting back to work, cause I may end up skipping work to finish this and that's generally not a good idea.

Welp, just learned that hacking a certain quest-specific enemy before they spot you breaks the quest - taking on the guardian of the Forest King's treasure again because my game crashed after the first time hopefully it'll be all right next time since I quit without saving.
