4S is only using Hackerman's lame nickname on the off chance it will get someone to call him "Force".

Dzhay posted:4S is only using Hackerman's lame nickname on the off chance it will get someone to call him "Force". Urgh, that's far too plausible. Are Scanner models all this insufferable? Considering what 21O (rip) said a while back about command deciding to increase production of the 9S model, maybe the destruction of YoRHa was for the best.

Since 9S seems to be an individual and not a "series" or "model" of androids, saying they're going to increase production of the 9S "model" probably means they noticed how much he crashes loving flight units everywhere he goes and assume they're going to need a bunch of extra bodies to restore his data into.

I think it's more like 9S and A2 are just that good at negotiating. Do YOU want to potentially piss off the angry possibly-unhinged murder hobo, or the angry DEFINITELY-unhinged murder on-his-way-to-becoming-a-hobo android who can also force you to explode yourself with basically a thought?

No. It's just a case of the weapon story actually tying more tightly than normal to the weapon itself. Still plenty depressing though!  (I let Pascal keep the children's cores--I already had more money than I knew what to do with by this point.)

I forgot to mention earlier: as someone who got the "fill up your pokedex to 95% (or whatever)" quest and immediately ignored the stupid thing, I can't wait so see if the result will be a Yoko Taro brand soul-crushing experience, or a Cavia-esque "eat poo poo completionists" gently caress you. Exciting times ahead!

The biggest shock here is that Force mentions people used to call 9S Nines. So 9S actually did had friends who called him by his dorky nickname. Also, is 4S not infected here because 9S stopped his data sync? I remember that at the start of route C, a Scanner model calls 9S to complain how none of the Scanners could sync with the Bunker because of what 9S did.

Obviously potential spoilers, as this is a link to part of a full play-through done by Kyle McCarley and the other VAs; so don't watch too far. Specifically, absolutely stop by 1:27:10 or you will be spoiled on something you don't want spoiled. Fair warning.

Which is why walking away is still the best option, ethically, but not mechanically. If you abandon Pascal, his unit data updates to the same stuff as Sartre: never seen again, and you end up finding his diary, full of ruminations over life and death. It's implied that he kills himself, but you can't be sure. Beyond the Pascal shop, there is no way to get access to Machine Heads, and any quests that may require 100% upgraded weapons can't be completed without mind-wiping Pascal. So Tarou's giving you the usual "completionism is a bitch" fork. Charles_Kinbote fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Nov 28, 2017 |

Lmao the shop selling body parts is the first time the very concept of something has repulsed me in a long time, but dawned if it's not a sign of artistic genius and craftsmanship. Are the heads a particularly strong weapon? I do like that the game so invasive ly gets you to think that reset machines will just repeat the same mistakes over and over until this happens. A major consideration for whether or not a mercy killing is moral is the assumption that a reset beep book robot like pascal will try and fail at pacifism again and suffer even more for it. But here he is doing something completely unexpected. And....morally neutral I guess? Oh, and people were asking why fear would make the children do a mass suicide. I think they made an immature but rational choice, like how suicide in zombie stories is portrayed all the time.

The Dark Id posted:So what’s the missing percentages? RNG, baby! Enemy that will only spawn at random points at specific times in the story with the RNG gods determining if rare spawns will occur such as say a EMP capable version of X enemy that looks literally identical to all the others or a 10% chance an Enhanced Model (red dude) version of an enemy will spawn at a specific place at a specific story event. This quest is straight up impossible to complete before hitting Ending C which might unlock some ways to make toying with the RNG slightly more manageable. I forgot to mention that I agree with this wholeheartedly. Anyone who's dreaming of seeing a beautiful lineup of 100%s in their Intel log, take it from one rabid completionist to another: DO NOT loving BOTHER. I got everything to 100% (though I skipped the DLC because honestly gently caress THAT GARBAGE) but it was one of the biggest rear end-pains I've experienced in ages. There were a pair in one spot that took me like 4-5 hours of dedicated reloading to get to spawn. I can earnestly say it was not remotely worth the time and effort. Still got the screenshots of everything at 100% though. I'm going to keep them as a reminder to myself that one should have limits to their madness.

If you're doing the Golden Robots quest, it's possible for the game to glitch out such that you can never get 100% intel. You have to be careful with Gold Robots; the Golden Tank only spawns in the Desert, while the Giant Bipeds only spawn in the cities. Once you kill all three Golden stubbies, you'll never see them again, so you MUST be careful to wipe them out in the correct order, especially if you're trying to get multiple powerup part S early on.

Isnt it impossible to kill the last golden stubby until you get rid of the tank and goliath?

It pales in comparison to the what the christ of the mind wiped Pascal selling machine cores (though I didn't really feel much about the other parts, since machines use modular parts and don't seem to have a taboo against their reuse) but 4S's utterly calm acceptance of his own imminent death is pretty sad anyways.
