Ah, Elks. They jump! When falling, 2B spreads her limbs as far as she can. I think it also contains her skirt wildly flaring around for quite short view, but don't remember exactly. There's exactly one place where you can do that for any kind of long... Also, Pods won't pet themselves. But you would get an opportunity to do so soon, I think.

Currency is nuts and bolts, you have a pod buddy with a hover function: are we sure this isn't actually a Ratchet and Clank sequel?

In any other game, I'd think it's lazy design that the ruins are actually in remarkably good shape for being thousands of years old; that looks more like 20ish years of neglect, with occasional landscaping. This being a Yoko Taro joint, I am instead suspicious of the ruins' condition.

The city ruins were overall pretty boring because, like TDI said, you basically already explored it in The Last of Us. I was hoping for a more inspired backdrop for a game that takes place in like 12000 AD

The ruins aren't so great, but their music is nice. I wouldn't say the ruins are bad either, they give you a nice play area for your navigation abilities, but yeah, pretty run of the mill overall. Moose are probably one of the few enemies in the game that are straight up dangerous even on Normal. You don't gently caress with them on Hard mode.

You could take like 1 rear hoof to the face, but the charge 1 shots you when you first meet them. Not fun times.

What makes the animals really dangerous is that their eyes don't flash before they attack like machines' do, so you get an antler to the face with no warning.

How and why are moose so dangerous? Why is a charge from a moose more dangerous than a giant buzz saw thing? Do androids have some secret vulnerability to organic life forms or what?
I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Do androids have some secret vulnerability to organic life forms or what? To give you a non-sarcastic game mechanic answer, the moose has a very, very painful charging headbutt that has a ridiculously huge hurtbox and pretty much no telegraphing animation, so if you are right on top of it hitting it with your melee weapon you are probably going to get hit for over half your life total with no warning.

I'm only a bit further in the game than TDI is, and I'm super suspicious about these city ruins. I'm also not so sure how old they're supposed to be. They look more "normal" than the ruins from Nier, even though they're supposed to be older than any human ruin still standing today? Or, were they build later, in the 1500 years between Nier's near-apocolypse and the Alien Invasion. Or, was there a period during the 14 machine wars where human built these structures. Have the machine's been building and repairing structures? It's not impossible. I have no idea if the game answers these things or not.

Okay yes, I accept that moose are huge and dangerous in real life I'm just wondering, why are they more dangerous than a giant oil rig robot? Did Taro Yoko just think it would be funny, did he want to punish people for attacking wildlife or what?

The moose in N:A are the descendants of moose that have survived for thousands of years in a world with giant oil rig robots running around. The moose that CAN'T fight a sentient excavator to a standstill all died out, only the hardest remain.

I assumed the androids just built a city during one of the lulls, and it got razed when the war started up again. Remember, this war's gone on longer than recorded human history and both sides have tech that can probably speed up construction an awful lot.

Can't really argue with that. I've got a weakness for exploring ruined cityscapes in games, but this isn't one of the more expansive or detailed ones.

IMO the design of the environments in this game are deliberately downplayed to give room for the music to take the foreground, and I think it works for me.

I haven't been overexposed on ruined cityscapes yet, but I am a little disappointed that their architecture is basically the same as present day stuff, even though an entirely different culture built them. If you didn't have the time cards telling you and lacked knowledge of the games you probably wouldn't really guess this wasn't like a century or few after the intro of the first Nier game.The Dark Id posted:2B will automatically mantle any platforms she edges near while jumping around Pretty sure mantle isn't the right word, maybe "mount" or "vault"?

No, mantling, or to mantel is a climbing (and videogame) term for 'get up on top of a thing', a thing being like a shelf, a shelf in a vertical climb being like a fireplace mantel. I've seen it spelled both mantel and mantle.
