2house2fly posted:I stayed up late to get the true ending as well. It's the traditional thing to do, I feel, when you're playing a really good game to beat it really late at night I feel like that's the ideal condition for playing this game. At night, when I'm alone, it's quiet, there's no distractions, and I'm tired from the day and not thinking too hard, it's easy to really get into it. Then there's that extra push towards the end of the game that we've all done before and it's not really worth it a lot of the time, except this time the payoff is possibly the best ending in video games. It's immensely satisfying.

2house2fly posted:There was some stage play or whatever that was meant to take place post-game where one character said something about how even androids will wither and die eventually, though now that I think about it that was in the script and not the actual play, in order to troll people, and I'm not generally inclined to pay much need to sources outside the game itself anyway As mentioned even the games are an unreliable indicator what will happen in the grand scheme of the drakenier plot. Absolutely anything is possible

Then some aliens showed up blowing poo poo up with robots, and in order to fight monsters we built monsters of our own.

I may be entirely wrong but regarding whether the androids would possibly return, the weapon story for the Emil heads mention seeing an android and its dated some years after the events of the game. So we mightn't see them again but they're probably around. Unless I'm wrong as poo poo in which case disregard me.

There are way more androids than just YorHa and they’re mostly fine by the end of the game.

And that Yoko Taro had to release a DLC to show Four was a xenophobic genocidal rear end in a top hat to hammer the fact home? ...And that people STILL missed the goddamn point of it all.

Nah, Nier 1 distracted from its bad combat by mixing things up regularly with neat gimmicks and cool boss battles. Drakengard 3 is just an absurdly choppy hack n slash slog. It's a lot uglier than Nier 1 too. Of course, ugly hack n slash slog is what Drakengard 1 was too. It was always the writing that made it stand out.

Drakengard 3 is an experience. Again, I hope Yoko Taro's next endeavor is a polished Drakengard game or something with similar writing because people will be very confused.

It's a lot uglier than Nier 1 too. I actually like D3's combat better. It's faster, combos are longer, and the dash is much better. Doing 100 berserker barrages in a row in Intoner mode is satisfying. Nier's got the fist though which is pretty great. I don't think I'd necessarily call D3 uglier, maybe just more generic.

I really wish I hadn't dismissed the game as some stupid anime crap when it came out. I just did the first 3 playthroughs and it's easily one of the best games I've ever played. Apparently this game has 26 endings? I assume most of those are joke/failure endings. Is it possible to get the same ending twice? I want to play through again but I don't want to accidentally just get the same outcome I got last time. If it's possible to get an ending where 2B lives and everything is just peachy and I'm not left with a pit of existential dread in my chest after playing feel free to spoiler me on how.

A through E are the real ones, so you're pretty close to getting 'em all.

There's really only two endings at least as in "mutually exclusive end states for the entire story". A and B are the same ending from different angles, and mark the midpoint of the story, while C and D are different events based on your final choice, and E clearly leads on from D, so really the ending paths are C/D&E and yeah, the rest of the endings are basically non-standard game over screens As opposed to Drakengard, say, where ending A can't coexist with ending B, C, D, and who the gently caress's idea was E By the way, you don't have to play through the game again to see a different ending. You've got chapter select now (and you worked so hard to get it!) so just load up the very final chapter and make a different choice to the one you made previously

This is one of the strangest game experiences I've had. I didn't have much fun playing it at all. After the first few hours of trying to get good at the combat I decided to just switch it onto easy and watch the show. After the first few collect missions I just cheated myself up a full stack of every crafting material. Does anything else in the game besides the endings play out differently based on any choices you make? For example if I reject a quest or play on a different difficulty setting? I really hope so - I'm going to be really disappointed if I've already done pretty much everything except select one different option.

I finally did the final sidequests and DLC today to make space for other games in my backlog and I still can't believe that Taro is REWARDING completionists now When that random pipe accessible by boost-jumping off a slanted building led to a completely new area I got flashbacks from The Stanley Parable's "glitched out of the map" ending (also the 12" art prints in the vinyl soundtrack release are super cool and SE is officially forgiven for those horrible Bravely Default pinups)

Love this game so much that when they put up preorders for the vinyl boxset I had to get it. My first vinyl ever. Since I ordered from the Square store it was almost a month late, but it came in last thursday. Bought a recommended starter player and that came today. Pretty darn pleased overall. Boxset is beautiful.

On my second playthrough finally beat route A on Hard. It was fairly challenging since one hit took over half of your health bar. Had to keep proper chips and healthy supply of items I think I was getting tripped by overclock chip that slows down enemies but they just fast jab you immediately after. Especially route A last bos has some punches with practically no tells
