Basically, yeah. Not quite dead on, but basically right. Jackass dumps a whole summary on you if you don't delete your save. As for the basically? You got a few details off. True androids CAN get the virus, as shown in the play. You see one in the game, even! You know the Commander? Yeah. Standard android. Old friend of Jackass's. And since she plugged into the same database, well, that was a mistake. We can leave it at that. Basically, the war was a stalemate between the machine intelligence and the hidden android illuminati, with both sides trying to pace their adaptations to never really "win". The point was the game. That said, the machines were planning to blow up the moonbase, which the androids didn't want, and the androids let some designs the machine network was proud of get killed, so it's not like they were always on the same page.

Also worth mentioning about the machines but Pascal, the forest kingdom, and other different machine "projects" did not occur out of natural evolution but were seeded by N2 essentially doing evolutionary research on their own kind.

I think the distinction between "natural evolution" and otherwise is rather blurry.

Phobophilia posted:so does counter not interrupt your combos like what happens with dodges? what is the timing, do you only tilt your stick towards the mob during the dodge window, or can you hold down the stick? Counter works like dodges, you can follow it up with your weapon counterattack, though not the pod counterattack. As far as I'm aware, you can counter everything including the Goliath biped's grab. Holding the stick won't work and the timing is fairly tight.

Having tried it after getting home, sticking to dodges feels safer. Counters don't seem to deal very much damage, and even an imperfect dodge puts you out of the way of the enemy.

Counters deal damage proportionate to what you would have taken, so they depend entirely on the enemy being stronger to work. High level chips have ridiculous returns and of course they're much stronger (and riskier) on Hard. A Counter+6 is how I beat a certain rooftop-based challenge fight in Route A. Even if you don't like them, you may as well leave one in just in case it happens by accident and blocks an attack you would have taken.

Augus posted:Was it ever explained why those machines in Pascal's village went crazy? I dont think its ever explained but its fairly easy to guess considering how much it escalated. It was time to end the pacifism experiment and the machine hivemind had the final test be what they do against violence you cant talk yourself out of. Basically since the pascifist machines were never actually not out of the network the hivemind just had some of them go insane at the start.

Yeah you can do a few side quests that are still available, though once you beat route C, you'll be able to do all the ones you missed.

Is there any significance that the pods seem to be three "instances" in one, like the select screen in Routes C/D showing "042A/B/C" and 042 saying something like "when we six were connected" to 153

Speaking of route C going through it again on a 2nd playthrough and I just now learned that, unlike literally any other boss in the game, dying to the boss of soul box is just and instant game over. That's definitely a cool and not lame as hell thing

What does reviving do I never tried it because I wanted my poo poo back Regular game overs would probably better, except for points in the game where you're not allowed to save until you complete an entire area that at least in my case also just so happens to be full of garbage forced hacking (I even like hacking in general, just that the hacking levels in soul box are terrible) Also the messages are for other people who come across your body. Do you have the game offline? If so you should turn it online and keep it that way.

What does reviving do I never tried it because I wanted my poo poo back You only lose your chips, not any items, money, or experience you gained. Depending on how long it's been since you saved, it might be worth it to just go find your body. The messages are for other players when they come across your body. If you're not seeing other players' bodies then you must be playing offline, which is a bad idea for reasons I will not say. Reviving the body of another player gives you a third companion for a little while. They're not very good at fighting and won't fast travel with you so I always found the buffs/money more useful.

How does the critical strike mechanic work? Do chips simply give you 1-30% critical strike chance, or is it multiplicative on the base crit chance of a weapon?

As far as I know there's no way to save partway through that section. Johnny Landmine fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Apr 29, 2017 |
