I was wondering-do you ever go back to the Bunker or whatever the space station is called? I kinda missed the self-destruct ending .

you can go back anytime from the save point in the resistance camp

It suddenly hit me when I murdered the robot with the suit on. He was the dad of the kid who kept locking himself in his room because he wanted 9S to break him out. It was an "aw poo poo :(" moment. Kind of murdered the rest of them with a little bit less wild abandon.

Just finished playing through routes C D and E last night, clocked 45 hours or so while just kind of taking it slow and doing lots of sidequests. 80% quest completion. There's still loads to do, and I'm glad because I don't want to stop playing yet. :saddowns:

For anyone just getting into it, if there is one thing I could have done differently I wouldn't have been so careful about doing like every little quest that popped up while running A and B the first time. It's easy to get overleveled playing on normal, and while it's still lot's of fun, it never really felt as challenging as it was during Route A. If you find yourself getting sidequest fatigue, just advance the story, you can come back and do them all later.

route c stuff: Is there some trick to using A2's berserk properly? I have a chipset that's loaded up with weapon damage, deadly heal, and HP+ and just quaff shitloads of restoratives. It's fun to zerk on mobs and was even kind of useful for speeding along some boss flights but it seems like it's mostly there for fun and style.

That entire sequence did nothing for me, mostly because it was so expected. Enjoyed playing Rock'em Sock'em Robots with Pascal, though.

Also, If you go to the village with 9S you can see the destroyed village before you see it actually happen with A2. So... No surprise there.

So I'm trying to do the stamp quest. I've already beaten the area, but the NPC to start it isn't showing up. Is there another trigger I need to wait for, or is my game just bugging. PC version.

If you mean you just completed it, like just just, it hasn't appeared yet. You need to wait for the next main plot beat.

It's weird to me to just blanket dislike all anime ( and jrpgs, for that matter. There's a world of difference between, say, crono trigger and SMT), but the answer is probably no. The combat is fun but pretty straightforward, and becomes more frustrating than anything at higher difficulties. And the game is pretty anime in a lot of ways.

Edit: oh wow yeah, devil may cry is super anime. Maybe you like it more than you think!

I know someone who plays DBZ games but won't even consider this game because it's anime weeb garbage.

I like the gameplay. Dante was a fun character, I guess. I don't have anything against (non-perv) anime. I just don't have time for other media in my life anymore.

I mean if you you like the gameplay of DMC will Nier provide the same satisfying combos and er, thump?

Something I only noticed reading TDI's LP, is there a reason there was another E-type model accompanying that opening mission? I didn't think they sent those out for routine combat missions, and 2B was already there for 9S.

It has been speculated that the other E model was there to takeout 11B, who was planning to desert.

It was honestly a pretty decent game that got a lot of undeserved hate. It's very easy compared to the original, but the gameplay is way above par for a hack & slash.
