Usually in a game or anime, this: If that image happened in-universe, I'd say it's an accidental broadcast by the dying boss. 2B firewalls held up quite nicely there. On the other hand, though, will 9S's firewall hold just as well? I could see that as a mid-game twist.

But on the other one they're trying to imitate working at a Theme Park. The two most important things about humanity are orgies and Disneyland. Soon, we'll find out what number 3 is.

Malachite_Dragon posted:"But Disneyland is the happiest place on earth!", said no one who has actually worked there I've actually mostly read positive things about Disneyland as a workplace. I mean, to be clear, it's still a job where you have to deal with lovely kids crying and trying to kick you in the dick, adults who insist their lovely kids could never be lovely or who have "hilarious" jokes involving looking up people's skirts or whatever, but the corporate culture on the ground level is (again, according to what I've read) built keeping in mind that the park sells itself as a magical experience full of wonderment and joy and crap, and that doesn't work so well when the guy in the Goofy costume is only able to hold it together by fantasizing about slicing everyone in the park open with twin katanas. Basically, happy employees make for happier guests make for happier shareholders since the park's taking in more cash. Nowhere near paradise, but if you're coming off an infinite robowar, I can see how it would play that way.

So, how do you go about suing someone for using your normal-rear end surname? Because I know a bunch of Smiths and Simmonses who could be making mad bank. Anyway, my boy 9 "Nines" S just wants to chop up all the crazy robots so he can get back to winning this forever war. It's not his fault he's been stuck with some moody rear end in a top hat who writes Linkin Park lyrics on her swords.

Hypothetical question here, but would Pod C's missiles be good for clearing up the crucified androids? If it doesn't just focus fire in Simone because the camera is stuck on her, I'd imagine it'd be an easier way to sweep the Jesusroids than struggling to point the camera at them and firing away with Pod A

I didn't try them there but I get the feeling it still would have been easier/faster just to strafe the androids with Pod A. I don't mind that, as having the auto-lock-on Pod be the best one in the game would have sucked.

The missiles are really not as good as you would think a swarm of auto-lock-on robot-seeking missiles would be. Their firing rate is awful, they tend to lock onto things other than the ones you'd prefer to target, they have much less hitstun than the gatling and just plain don't seem to do a lot of damage. The main functional purpose of the extra pods is really to give you more pod program cooldowns and charge-up attacks.

the missles are fine for hard where lock on isnt an option. they also seem to do knockdown so theres that too.

The missiles always suck. Slow as gently caress, so they have garbage DPS. It's not hard to aim your gatling pod on Hard even in the middle of combat.

The xenomorph dick is the only spot I've ever died. She revealed it and locked into her OHKO attack at the same time so I had no time to react. The boss fight is insanely cool and one of the best, but that's just a bit poo poo design.

The boss fight is insanely cool and one of the best, but that's just a bit poo poo design. I never realized it had a OHKO attack. Mainly because my gameplay style is somewhat similar to an over caffeinated squirrel on crack. I zoom in, whack whack whack, then dart away wildly tapping the dodge button the instant the boss so much as farts threateningly. It's served me pretty well.

Unlike the gatling bullets, missles have decent amounts of stagger. There's one section of a later boss-fight that this makes trivial, although it wasn't a particularly difficult section in the first place. Aside from that, yeah, the missile pod is not very good at all.

What a gorgeous piece of music. And what a fantastic monster design Simone is. She was spoiled by previews, her concept art published a long time ago, but it still manages to present itself as this perfectly elegant horror when encountered in-game. I mean it in deep sincerity when I say thank you for the nightmares, NieR Automata.

There is nothing wrong with the Simone boss fight. Also this game is the only one I've found that has a hacking minigame I don't actively despise.

Yeah, thats one problem with the game. Even slightly farming for chips will mean youre over leveled for the rest of the game. I did this in my hard playthrough and im already unkillable because im 10 levels higher than anything and have good chips. Hopefully by the end game ill be underleveled.

Nina posted:I'm surprised the game doesn't include any EXP limiter item like Kingdom Hearts or FFXV Personally I think I'd have preferred it if levelling was confined to enabling you to equip more chips rather than overall stat boosts. That way if you wanted to limit yourself for the challenge you could just play the game under-equipped. (There'd have to be a lot less levels obviously, but hey.)

Your damage output relies a lot on your level relative to the enemy's. It's not like Kingdom Hearts where level was mostly about abilities and life extensions.

I don't mind that, as having the auto-lock-on Pod be the best one in the game would have sucked. There's one boss phase in particular where the missiles completely shut down their attacks. Kinda makes the experience hilarious because it's supposed to be a dramatic moment but the boss literally cannot get an attack off because it's getting stunlocked by missiles every time it tries to do something.

It'd be better if level scaling was in so enemies are always same level, rather than exp limits to create extra difficulty

I honestly didn't mind this game becoming easy once I got a decent chip set up since this is an RPG, in my experience level scaling sucks because it just shows me how pointless the leveling is (see: later Elder Scrolls games). Although I think it could be a nice switch to turn on if you're into that sort of thing.

Malachite_Dragon posted:"But Disneyland is the happiest place on earth!", said no one who has actually worked there Someone already answered this, but apparently outside the guests, its actually pretty great to work at Disneyland. To quote a Cracked article, "As a reward for fending off vicious geese and being stabbed in the groin by children, [Disney] throw[s them] impromptu parties and celebrations pretty regularly, just to keep [their] morale up. They'll have cast appreciation days, where they bring in huge food trucks to serve [them] all free meals (they even provide a Thanksgiving Feast for everyone who has to work on the holiday). And while most theme park employees don't get any kind of retirement plan, Disney announced they were providing [them] with a 401K out of the blue. There's a reason turnover is low at these parks, even if the job means the occasional tantrum from a man dressed as a giant chipmunk."

So, like in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days? On a random note, am I the only one who saw the Party Tank and Amusement Park, and thought of those old man Six Flags commercials?
