Best method I've found to fight the snakes is to trigger a perfect dodge off of their hurtbox and then use the pod fire counter move, which should autotarget their weak point if you're positioned correctly.

Yeah... kiting those snakes and dealing with them one at a time was the best option. Hate those things.

I got the tutorial for taunting but it didn't work immediately and I didn't feel comfortable mashing on the stick of my only controller in vain so I just assumed it was lovely and I wouldn't bother. Also linked sphere boys first encounter being 3 of them on the way to a new area that you have to go to was a dick move, especially when they stun lock you to death since I didn't have the I-frame chip yet. Yes that was my first death, I'm still a little bitter about it.

Another one here who had no idea how to taunt. I assumed it was some ability or pod I hadn't found.

I like this is a game where the main villains display clear advancement in power by showing up again wearing pants. Even if the Albedo looking one hasn't figured out pants buttons.

I mean, I had to buy a new graphics card for it, which kind of raises the price tag, but I honestly don't regret it. It's kind of really good.

I just tried equipping that chip and it didn't say dick. It did, however, unannounced go straight into the clusterfuck of a tutorial section with every other tutorial ever unlocked all unsorted. gently caress that. Platinum ain't getting a pass on its poo poo documentation with that garbage. Get it to-loving-gether, Platinum. Cavia was better at tutorials than you. Cavia should not be better at you than anything.

I cannot find an image of the fighting wolves tutorial from nier 1 that is a single sentence that is basically just "Wolves are fast, try killing them" but its one of the best tutorials in any videogame.

It's not a very well explained subsystem.

Well, I wasn't sure what to expect from the hole trip, but finding out that the naked guy we stabbed so hard another naked guy crawled out of his corpse is both alive? and appears to have started an 80's rock fashion duo with the aforementioned second guy was not on the mental list of possibilities. I suppose now the question is have the aliens been dead for ages, or did the new naked machines just finish a coup. The Dark Id posted:You’d think they would programed advanced war machine androids

When this game was first being teased and the materials mentioned something about the alien overlords being MIA I turned to a friend and said "They're already dead, aren't they?" Yep. Also yes, those linked-sphere types are the worst; as is trying to differentiate between them when you're trying to fill out the enemy encyclopedia.

Oh I do. It's just one of those things where when you're trying to find the one you don't have in a group of ones you do, you'll frequently need to kill everyone just to find out the one you needed wasn't actually there. Or you'll find a lone one but...is that the one I need? It's pretty far away. Better run out there and kill it...okay no, that wasn't it.

There are loads of ways to make the worm assholes much more bearable, such as,
The only real mercy right now is that their body shape and movement pattern makes it marginally easier to lead your gatling shots, because you sure as hell won't be able to hit them with lock-on due to how fast they move and the distance they maintain.

The only good part about the flying worms is that you can run away from them. And you really cant tell that they're made up entirely of heads til you blow them up.

When I got to this part of the game I was genuinely surprised that the foul xenos were real (less so that they were dead). I kinda expected there to be no actual aliens, and that it was all some kind of smokescreen or maybe more a YOU WERE THE ALIENS kinda thing and that the robots were the last defenders of humanity. Or that it was all some kinda complex clusterfuck of misery that only Yoko Taro could produce. But nope, aliens are real.

Well, none of them are alive, so there's still a chance they're hoaxes created out of rubber molds and papier mache to prop up the sexy android military-industrial complex.

Honestly, the biggest possible twist I could forsee is that one of the endings has humans actually start resettling earth, because if one set of Automata's distant masters is dead, why not the other too?

That doesn't sound far fetched. I mean how long were those ships under there, maybe thousands of years? Unless aliens had zero faith in getting through Earth atmosphere alive so the replaced the airbags with needs that shoot embalming fluid directly into they're skull so any archaeologists that finds them thinks they're fleshy, dick-shaped headed, space gods.

Drakengard Thread Report: So on page 11, we have Inuart doing his heel turn. At this point, Manah's identity is still shrouded, and her voice in the cutscene is doing the bad House of the Dead impression. A goon straight up announces that the dark shadowy figure is a little girl. Doesn't even use spoiler tags! EDIT: tbf, The Dark Id uses a shadowed version of Manah's portrait for her dialogue, so its not too hard to figure out the age of our new villain. EDIT2: Also, Inuart's price pact is known well in advance. Unlike Veredelt's. While I doubt it would have been as impactful as the Watchers reveal, it was probably worth a few laughs.
