Motherfucker, I was playing Nier Automata and I was at the prologue boss fight with the two spiny wheel of death things, and both hit me at basically the same time so the auto recover didn’t kick in and I died. I’m gonna have to play the whole prologue again, aren’t I?

Welcome to Nier: Automata, Enjoy Your Stay.

I was thinking about grabbing the Raymond game as well. Seems he's more in the adventure style games than me but it's neat to finally find a genre that he can just play and doesn't require him to hand me the controller every few minutes.

Rayman Legends is on a flash sale at the PSN, it's the best Rayman and it has all of Origins levels in it.

That's only because that is where you stop having to play the same 5 hours of gameplay over and over.

It actually is missing a pretty large portion of Origins' levels, but it is still excellent. You should buy Origins too if you want even more tho.

I collected all the stuff on The Division because it's drat cool to hear phone recordings. They give different point of views of the chaos in NYC, from rioters to emergency workers to the security forces trying to keep things under control, people calling their families, etc...

People really overstate how many missions you have to replay in NierA. You basically do the first half of the game a second time, with a bunch of changes and new stuff thrown in, and it goes by a lot quicker. That's it. Everything else is new.

Before I played the game, I was thinking it would be like in Bloodborne, where you play the exact same game three times all the way through to get all the endings.

I like the series where the woman is being harassed by the dude calling her and breathing heavily into the phone. In the last one she reveals she knows who it is by putting his furious mother on the phone. . Legitimately cracked up at that one.

I was mostly joking, but having to replay about 4 hours of the first playthrough in the second was extremely not my poo poo and really dragged down my opinion of the game. Overall I thought it was a game full of good ideas, almost none of them executed well.

Agreed. I am a huge sucker for being able to mix and match, and put little pieces of armor into separate boxes in the inventory screen. I hate just unlocking outfits.

Also, play dragons dogma if you have a boner for amor and character customization. I would probably enjoy that game even if it sucked because the character customization is so good.

Most of its ideas were extremely well implemented.

The only one that wasn’t was the replay as there are better ways to accomplish that.

I do understand why people like Nier:A so much, and I even thought it was enjoyable, despite the laundry list of stuff I didn't like about it, but since people here always seem to be offended at the idea that it was less than perfect I have a couple of questions.

Can you honestly tell me the shmup segments were quality? Did the hacking sections not get old? Was the enemy selection not dire? Was the map not tiny, bland and lifeless and boring to explore? Is it hard to understand why redoing poo poo sometimes 3+ times with virtually no change is boring for some people?

I realize I'm only listing the games negatives there, and there is plenty of good stuff in it, but I thought it was an absolute slog to get though from a gameplay standpoint. It's still probably worth playing just for it's general weirdness, originality, and the incredible soundtrack, but I really don't get why everyone acts like it's perfect. It's a very clunky game in a lot of ways that gets really repetitive, and a lot of it's gameplay doesn't feel fully fleshed out at all.

Tell me about your PS4 compatible headsets. I’m losing the final strands of tape and plastic holding my Sony Golds together and I need something new. I don’t think I’ve got $300 for A50s, probably something closer to $100-150. Anyone have the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 or 700?

The Echo scenes are great for tiny details. Name tags lining up with people you've met, little things hinting at details of their lives, etc. Especially good one where a riot has broken out due to someone gunning down an aid worker; tons of the civilians have names and their own little fights going on, but there's no sign of a gun on any of them...except for one rogue Division agent sneaking through a door, weapon in his hands.
