I'm a bit disappointed you didn't listen in on that conversation the two Operators in the hallway were having. Not the dialog boxes, but what they actually say in audio form while you stand next to them. I thought it was a pretty neat touch when I first heard it.

So, if flight units are usually kept away from the rank and file fighters, then how do they normally get anyone anywhere? Is there a big cargo ship for large scale troop movements? Maybe flight units are for special missions or people don't actually get sent to Earth all that much. The Dark Id posted:explaining everything verbally is tough on both of us and you First sounds like it should be "both us and you", but maybe that person is with someone else. Couldn't find a gameplay video where anyone talked to that NPC to confirm one way or another. Aside from that, "doting", "triggering", and "tolerant".

Got the game and just played up to talking to the Commander from the update. (And then couldn't help myself - had to get the Self Destruct ending.) Didn't even see the Operator level of the control room, gonna have to run back there and say hi now! Love the feeling of the movement, though I need to adjust to it some more (just like learning parrying in MGR:R). Definitely a Platinum game. Definitely hitting that Metal Gear Rising itch. Downside is I suck at twinstick shooter parts, and probably would've failed the prologue if not in Easy mode. Used about 6 self-heals almost entirely on the overhead section. PSA: Don't look at your Steam trading cards while you play by the way, think they just spoiled something big for me.  SatansBestBuddy posted:If you're playing on PC, go and get the FAR patch, which fixes a bug with fullscreen resolution and lets you adjust global lighting so it's not a complete resource hog. My own PC isn't in the best shape anymore but this patch let me play at 1080p60fps which I simply could not hit just messing with the game's settings. Until there's an official patch released, getting this was, for me, basically required to play smoothly at all. The Dark Id posted:Maybe programming androids with the capacity to get dizzy wasn’t a great design choice. But hell, the original Nier established they programmed androids with the ability to get drunk. Humanity in this universe has always been kind of dipshits with bad future planning...

LordAba posted:When asked about the design of the female androids, Yoko Taro is quoted as saying "But the biggest reason is that I just really like girls." Well, he's at least consistent. In the short story Yoko Taro wrote about Beepy, Nier 1 spoilers the robot you murder along with his child shadow friend, sees a bunch of machine lifeforms and androids fighting, and the androids were described as being "scantly clad human females", there was also a line about Beepy assuming they weren't human because there's no reason why they wouldn't be wearing that little clothing. Glory to Mankind. Edit: Link to short story: [modedit: nope!] Somebody fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Apr 7, 2017 |

There's nothing shameful about making your warriors hot if you've been fighting in an endless deadlock for thousands of years. I mean, at some point, you're gonna perfect the technology, and where do you go from there? I'll tell you where. Sweet-rear end thighs for the whole platoon.

I have a document about as long as the first three pages of this thread planning out most everything and when I'm going to do it. Trust me. I KNOW about whatever. Edit: Also I'll get that voiced conversation in a return visit. Getting that gag ending makes it so that conversation gets disabled until we return, for whatever reason. Also I've got a rip of all the game's audio files and can make a video of it so you can actually hear it clearly without the background music and hum of the Bunker half drowning it out.

I think it's more that flight units are for mission transport only, and those androids are complaining that they can't use them for joyriding or sightseeing or whatever poo poo androids do in their free time. I mean, if they were really that protective of them, I'm not sure 2B and 9S would be given two more of them immediately after returning from a mission that saw the loss of 7 of the drat things.

And we don't even know right now if humans are still involved in making them. It's been thousands of years and the androids are clearly capable of individuality and personal choice. The androids may be building and clothing themselves and this is just what their personal tastes and fashion senses are. warhammer651 posted:One of them has started a workout routine, and is shocked that the other didn't notice her robo gainz. That seems more like an engineering option. And in any case, we don't know how much of them is metal and how much can change based on exercise and stuff, or if that differs depending on android type for the job they're meant for.

Zereth posted:... They what? A bunch of NPCs, especially in the bunker, are chatting and if you stand near them (and maybe turn up the volume a bit), you can listen in on their conversations. The two operators in the hallway are the most obvious. And all the operators at their stations are taking support calls, so it sounds like you're walking around a call center when you chat it up with 6O et al.

They can still probably improve their physical capabilities and reflexes with regular activity, though. Or they could just download MadGainz.exe but uuggghh torrent sites in the post-apocalypse are such a pain to navigate and if you get a bum file then suddenly you're loudly recommending hot single Russian brides to everyone you meet.

HenryEx posted:And suddenly, she's all invested in this dopey blindfolded milquetoast of a teenaged gentleman-wannabe. Who's probably easily replaceable, because he's a goddamn android. And it'll get worse. He's voiced by a popular VA in the Japanese dub, Natsuki Hanae, most famous in the west for playing Ken Kaneki in Tokyo Ghoul. His CV is essentially milquetoast side-kicks and protagonists, but he's counted as one of those "heartthrob" voices that gets put in a ton of anime and games, especially if there's a female demographic. Also a singing VA, so you hear him in musical animes and OP/ED-songs all the time. Seeing his name in the announcement trailers way back was very much a "why is this guy in this game? what fragile boy will he be playing?" moment for me. (His protagonists scream at the rainy sky quite a bit.) 2B is voiced by Yui Ishikawa, probably most famous in the west for her part as Mikasa Ackerman in Attack on Titan. Not exactly a heavy-weight, but has a career in stage acting prior to voice-acting and a couple big roles in anime under her belt. I'm only bringing this up because it always amazes me how sometimes English voice casting is full of people I don't recognize but the Japanese cast has Big Names you hear in anime etc. on a regular basis. Mostly I'm just one of those huge nerds who gets excited about voice actors and weird Japanese stuff. Maybe someone else would be interested, too.

i mean we can just print out another one of him why would it matter  It doesn't matter if you can just print out a new one to replace them, seeing your buddies die still sucks. Especially if it's for the thousandth time- and, if like 9S here, they might not have their memories 'up to date' when they get rebuilt, so they aren't the buddy they were when they died.

Man you're really trying to bait me into spoiler territory I was just saying that when i was playing the tutorial, i was put off on how she's pulling up such a hammy and dramatic scene for this one dude she just met for the first time (he introduced himself to her), especially when contrasted with her entire squad getting shot down before and her only reaction being "I'm commanding officer now".
