OJ MIST 2 THE DICK

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Man, it's neat to actually be able to catch one of these threads for once. I've been in a NieR mood all week.
I got through Ending A this morning and I'm sitting on some pretty stupid fanart ideas of some things we haven't quite gotten to yet.

As a big fan of both this game and Poppy, I really look forward to seeing these fanart ideas if you actually draw them when the LP is far enough.

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.

It's not like a new thing to Automata either. Platinum historically suck at tutorials and this game is just another in that chain of bad tutorial games.


Though it's worth going close up to the weakness on the poo poo snake enemies and unloading your pod into them rather than hanging back if you wanna take em out easy if only because less shot travel time is higher damage per second and more likely to hit.

I actually had some pretty decent success using the missiles against the snakes, though this was after upgrading them a couple of times. They home in on the weak point reasonably well.

By that point the game might as well be over for how scarce the materials are in normal play. Upgrading pods is not a viable solution to the snakes for the time they remain a threat.

On the downside, that’s the same building we have to climb to reach our flight units. Maybe if we’re very quiet we can sneak past that Engels Goliath and active the flight units before it takes noti—



This is late but, I managed to get to the flight units without triggering Engels bursting into the building somehow. I went up the elevator shaft instead of the stairs though.

The game acted like I'd fought that first Engels, but I never did and the building remained relatively undamaged.

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.

Can somebody remind me what Inuart's pact price was? I'd like to say his dignity but he clearly had none beforehand.

I wanna say it was 'any and all iota of common sense left', but I don't think such a thing ever existed in the Drakengard universe.

I've always wondered how that works, exactly. Would Inuart's throat close up entirely whenever he tries to sing, or does he just sound like a huge off-key rear end in a top hat?

I never thought about this before, but does this mean Caim was still able to sing? I mean, he lost the ability to speak, but that appears to be an entirely different thing. Caim singing his intentions through the entirety of the original Drakengard would have been great.

Hell that's even plausible, there's all sorts of stories of people who couldn't speak for whatever reason but who could sing.

I'm pretty sure that Caim could not sing. Really, when we look at pacts overall Caim got a pretty poo poo deal (though Leonard got worse). Verdelet lost his hair, Inuart lost a subset of singing, Seere lost aging (though that's a worse deal for Seere than it would have been for Caim). And then you have the Drakengard 2 losers who lost, like, charm and stuff. Basically pact prices aren't very even.
