That loving Pompito dialogue was incredibly boring. I've heard people say the banter between the main characters is what's good about the game, but it's all so inane. Like it was written by a 10 year old.

It's written as masturbation material, that's usually not very complicated.

I've watched up till just after the end of Chapter 3, and just jumping ahead now to say this is such a good LP, I've had such a stupid grin on my face and it's made me laugh so many times. So guys, thank you for that.

Taking a break now however as I just bought the game due to this LP and want to play it through first. I'm not sure why because the game itself looks terrible. So guys, gently caress you for that.

You were in that car for 6 minutes. Six loving minutes of an utter absence of gameplay. What the gently caress were they even thinking?

When you were fighting those wyverns and the lighting and music changed, that meant you could do a summon. There was a prompt telling you to press L2 to summon.

I saw right at the start, when you were putting on the second accessories, that you had an 'assist suit' in your inventory. You scrolled over it, but didn't select it and a quick freeze frame showed it had:




That's some insane poo poo. When did you grab that?

Because "Lieutenant" didn't fit.
Coincidentally, "gently caress, what are we even doing here?" could sum up a lot of this game's story. Once you get down to it, Ardyn's motivation doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Enjoy having Aranea in your party, because going back to Gladiolus is a giant downgrade.

If you're going to have to climb that dumb mountain one more time I'm going to lol.

Also, there are many LPs of this game, and if this LP is defined by a guy making GBS threads on Prompto's godawful photographic skills in exceptionally specific lengthy and experienced detail, I'll consider that a selling point for your effort.

what the gently caress is it with this game and all these bullshit swarms of enemies that kill everyone in 1-2 hits

I thought everything was going standard fare

then the game just casually drops in those assassin bots and everyone dies

Level scaling is bad, directing you through a high level area as part of a forced event but forgetting to turn off the script where enemies randomly drop out of the sky is just loving hilarious.

as I understand it, you're allowed to fast travel to any parking spot you've already been to. When you try to travel to a city or something it doesn't factor in whether you've been to a parking spot in that area and just picks the closest.

it's stupid.

The project existed for 10 years, and I think when it finally started to take form as a game they were no longer willing to spend any more time second-guessing decisions or changing direction. So they just pushed out what they ended up with, and a lot of things didn't get fully polished or thought out.

They are advertising the mobile 'game' pretty heavily. The ads themselves are pretty bad, quite cringeworthy.

This reminded me to finally share this.

I was creating a title called NIER Gestalt/Replicant when this title was called Versus XIII but because it was very likely that our games would release around the same time, I was thinking “oh man, Versus is an action RPG right? It would suck if the release dates were close to each other.” NIER ended up releasing without having to worry about Versus XIII but then, when I was creating Drakengard 3 I thought “it would suck if they release close to our release,” and it was the same again when we were creating NieR: Automata this time too. Looking back, I feel like I was trapped by the curse of Versus for about 10 years.

While I wouldn't want the lp to be nothing but a bitch fest, it was honestly kinda cathartic. This game looks awful.

Summon cinematics are cool though, so points for that I guess.

You find that ice kills the Crème brûlée mobs and fire heals them.

You have a choice of two spears. One has bonus ice damage, the other has fire damage.

Naturally, you use the fire spear.

"Why is it healing them?"


Least I'm not the only one who plays games like that and never realises it until afterwards.
