I will never get over pat continuing to poo poo the bed interacting with his partner. Matt killing him is just the cherry on the sundae.

Pat doing everything wrong to make Hank like him, then getting himself killed again, means his boss also is not going to like him. It's great.

I was kinda worried about them picking Connor must Die mode for a first playthrough but honestly, I'm starting to come around the more they keep Final Destinationing him.

WampaLord posted:Yea, if this were Heavy Rain we wouldn't even be at the trials part yet, we'd be making snacks for SHAUN. Oh, sure. The grasping robohands in the junkyard were pretty forced and felt cribbed from God of War of all things, and both the artist's son and the little girl's dad would need a lot more nuance to be considered even caricatures. But the magoc of in-your-face hackdome is missing. Whomever they hired to hold the electric prod and keep Cage away from the editing room deserves his or her pay. I kinda wish there was a Hideo Kojima version of this game. There'd by like 40 minutes of exposition on how the android blood works and exactly why it uses a gallium prosthetic group on its proto-hemoglobin instead of iron, and halfway through we'd learn that all life on earth has always been fake and all that ever existed were machines pretending to have once been humans, and it all is still somehow connected to the Tuskegee experiment. It'd be loving glorious.

I'm really wondering how much of it is just smokescreens where the story gets railroaded anyway. Like if they had picked a different spot than the motel would the rest of the story have been completely different or would it just lead to the same scene but from a different angle?

I've seen bits where the same dialogue is used in different scenes, but even then they're in much different contexts leading up to divergent outcomes.

Oh man that moment is going to go down in best friends history/lore. I feel bad for Connor, which is funny because he's the only one who hasn't actually gone deviant. WampaLord posted:Also, there's been plenty of stupid already, like the loving price of the androids. I don't really see the problem with that, or at least it's a pretty easy thing to suspend disbelief for? It seems like a good explanation for how you have 40% unemployment, and people treating them as disposable/replaceable in general to the point there's a landfill of the things.

Because the price of them is loving ridiculous. For 8k a piece, i'm astounded that the game world's unemployment rate isn't at least double that. Why would any employer ever hire a human again when a superior option is available for half what a minimum wage job would pay yearly.

Why would any employer ever hire a human again when a superior option is available for half what a minimum wage job would pay yearly. Anything that can be automated is probably automated by Androids. We saw the paint shop run by android, most retail is probably exactly the same. There probably is some caveats where customers simply would not want to deal with androids (given a lot of public opinion) and also some places that would see human service as a selling point. (Literally something I've seen in the real world: Some places haven't gone with self checkout as a part of a brand image thing.) The other factor is maybe there's restrictions on how much of a work force can be androids (we did see Canada doesn't have androids,) or Cyberlife charges more for business models / has lockouts that prevent normal androids from working jobs (much like how companies have business versions of software or services.) As much as I like chewing apart David Cage games, I think the idea is the average player will just get the idea that "umployement rate is fuckin high" and "androids are cheap and disposable."

It's probably because America manipulates its unemployment statistic to make it much smaller than it really is. Even today, someone working one hour a week is not counted as unemployed, nor is someone who has gotten so depressed they've stopped looking for work despite wanting it. So the actual number of people holding full time jobs would be much lower than 60%. I mean, I doubt Cage thought of that, but maybe that helps?

In typical "woolie is poo poo at audiobalancing", he can't hear the "this cannot continue" in the first actual bossfight in nier automata. God drat it woolie, just take half a day and get decent at it, there's tutorials on this poo poo.

That's because it's not "this cannot continue," it's the Japanese track. I guess because they're probably playing on Liam's PS4, and he got the Japanese version so he could play it on release. I'm not sure how Liam and Woolie also didn't catch that.

I've never heard the JP version of that track and if I did not know that track had characters chanting something from the english version I'd probably assume it was just background noise on the song.

It's obvious to hear but it's impossible to tell what they're saying, and if, like Woolie, you're asked if you hear "this cannot continue", then you're not going to get that out of it. It's like asking if someone hears real words in any other Nier song. Yes, there are words there, obviously, but not real ones. Except this is in Japanese.

Tbf the JP version has english voices in it and it does play the English track when you do this section. I would say if they're playing on english voices woolie should be able to hear it pretty decently, but all of the noise and talking to Liam over the game would probably distract from that.
