treat posted:I've been playing it on Game Pass and if this is considered good performance, the Steam version must be loving dire. The frame dips are frequent and while it's not unplayable, it certainly isn't what I'd call good or even okay. It also looks like dogshit to the point that I'm wondering if there are driver issues with my GPU, the aliasing is outrageous and it looks like everything in the distance is rendering at 480p whats your hardware, this was considered a performance hog when it came out but the gamepass version runs fine, consistent 60fps, at 1440p with 4k supersampling on my rtx3070

The Steam version ran fine for me at 1080p and my computer is ancient with an overclocked 3570K and 8GB of memory. The newest part is probably my video card, which is a 6GB GTX 1060.

Equivalent to a pretty mid tier or "bottom shelf high-end" system from last gen, in the RTX 2070/2070 S ballpark but with the drivers of a speak & spell. I'm getting dips into the low 20's in many areas and frequently during combat. I think I'm done with the game unless it gets more interesting or goes way off the rails huffing it's own psuedo-philosophical farts shortly after the amusement park and I should stick it out a bit longer? It's just a gamepass curiosity that I didn't intend on seeing through, but the way they've gone about things with the sloppy port & this updated version seems real scummy and it feels less deserving of my free time. Also, the weird lolita poo poo.

no mods installed? tried turning off AA? there have been issues with past platinum PC ports and using HDMI monitor connections with games in fullscreen mode, is that your current configuration? that system shouldn't have any issues, maybe its just one of those unexplainable things

It's game pass, so UWP--no mods or exclusive fullscreen. AMD's recent cards, the 5700 especially, have been notorious for driver issues so I'm fine with just chalking it up to that. They've beaten me into submission, I can't fight anymore, I have accepted my lot in video life.

There's a payoff at the end but it's not gonna work if you're just forcing yourself through 25 hours of pain for it.

There are clips from late game cutscenes and even the end boss in there. I suppose it depends if you think of a two second clip of something without context is really a spoiler.

Veotax posted:There are clips from late game cutscenes and even the end boss in there. Oh, sure. I just meant Replicant-specific spoilers. IIRC, the original Nier had a near-identical spoiler-heavy "attract trailer" with those scenes in it. Still haven't seen any spoilers for "new" elements in the remake.

So, the final Nier raid for FFXIV came out this week. I posted a summery of part 1 last year, never bothered posting about part 2 because not much really happened. Here's the part 1 summery:Veotax posted:So far it is just: Dwarves find some advanced robots in some ruins (Dwarves in the Shadowbringers setting, which is actually a parallel universe from the rest of FFXIV, build robots). After advancing further into the caves you find Machine Lifeforms banging on a shield surrounding 2P, after blowing them up she immediately asks your help in attacking a factory that's producing the Machine Lifeforms. Part 2 starts with a group of white robed YoRHa androids attacking the Dwarf village and 2P betraying you, 2B jumps out to defend you. Suddenly the YoRHa bunker falls from the sky destroying a mountain and the white YoRHa androids retreat to it. During the raid you learn that the white androids are machine duplicates and I guess 2P asks for your help in attacking the factory to stop 9S. You fight through the bunker (ending in a re-creation of the Alien's ship where you fight Adam and Eve) and kill most of the white androids, including 2P. It ends with 2B taking 9S to go repair him and the village starting to tear it self apart to assign blame, most of it landing on the siblings you've mostly been working with throughout the story. Anogg, the sister leaves wracked with guilt. In between raid patches they added another quest continuing the story in the meantime, in which Konogg, the brother, is trying to calm the village down and try to make amends but everyone refuses to give him the time of day. Dejected he runs away and you find him back in the alien ship, standing in front of a Seed of Destruction from Drakengard. You then get a vision of his past (the player character in FFXIV has a power that lets them see other people's memories when it's convenient for the plot) in which you find out that Anogg died in a cave-in, while looking for her Konogg found a Seed and it created a duplicate of her. Konogg either doesn't understand or refuses to accept that this isn't Anogg and accepts her as his sister. The game doesn't make it clear how long ago this is, so it could have been weeks before the raid, or even years. Part 3 starts with Konogg falling ill as he's barely moved in his depression, then the Seed creating a copy of the tower from Automata. 2B and 9S found Anogg off screen and she now knows what she is and understands what's going on, telling you that the Seed needs to be stopped. You fight through the tower, going into hacking space (somehow) to fight some bosses from Nier Replicant and then the Machine Intelligence/the Red Girl. The Red Girl eventually merges with the seed and then sends itself through a portal and comes out as something else. You kill it, Anogg sacrifices her life to close the portal, 2B, 9S and the tower disappear as the Seed created them and it's now destroyed (but the factory and the crashed Bunker stick around for some reason. Anogg leaves a letter for Konogg explaining that the Seed was being used by the Machines to destroy the world for some reason and she had to stop it. Anogg leaves the village to try to learn more about the Seed and the villagers keep looking for someone to assign blame to now that the siblings are gone rather than moving on. There are some weekly quests that might shed some more light on the story, but right now it looks like the Nier stuff was mostly set dressing and I guess Yoko Taro wanted to tell a story about a village tearing itself apart after a tragedy trying to assign blame rather than moving on? I might be mis-remembering some details in these re-caps, it's been months since I did the story of part 2 and I was a bit tired from a marathon play session when I did part 3. Not really sure how I feel about the conclusion myself. The highlight of the raids is definitely the music, most of it is just taken straight from the Automata soundtrack but the final boss of each raid has a track that's a unique mix of a FFXIV track and an Nier track: Raid 1, The Copied Factory: Weight of the World (Nier) & Prelude (FF) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GidkSDUMI8E Raid 2, The Puppet's Bunker: Dark Colossus Destroys All (Nier) & Torn from the Heavens (FF) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG3Vj1VA7WM Raid 3, The Tower at Paradigm's Breach: Chaotic Song (Drakengard 3), Kaine - Salvation (Nier), FF Theme (FF) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr9OEKNbElQ

That's what I've gotten out of it. Taro wanted to tell a story about groupthink and scapegoating to avoid personal responsibility for one's actions in the group, and the raid was a set dressing to escalate the situation and move the plot along. The Doomsaying Dwarf having a character arc going from "WE'RE ALL DOOMED AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO SO I'M GOING TO PASSIVELY WATCH THE DOOM COME" to "WE'RE ALL DOOMED NO MATTER WHAT, SO I SHALL ACTIVELY MARCH US TOWARDS IT, gently caress PASSIVITY" is great.

While I liked the village stuff, I do hope we get some sort of explanation as to where the machines/androids came from in-universe. Were they literally imported from the Taro-verse (probably) or do they exist within FFXIV's world and just happen to look and sound exactly like Nier characters/places (which is what they've done with every other FFXIV crossover). It seems like the weekly letters will shed more light on it though. I hope there's something mad at the end of it all.

A lot of ff14's crossover stuff is just "well, I'm here now but am from somewhere else" which I'm pretty ok with since its all out of universe fluff. Didn't care much about the plot but for me the good poo poo emotional hits are trying to keep my poo poo together while the extremely good Nier/ff14 mashups play through bosses. Last boss of of 3rd raid was brutal for this since they saved the best track for last.

Yeah, but most of XIV's crossovers before this were limited time special events that lasted a week or two or the Monster Hunter crossover (which seems to be permanent) which is a short storyline and a trial. Since this is the Alliance Raid series for an entire expansion and spread out over two years I kinda expected something more integrated, a bit more of an explanation. All the machines and the androids are clearly from a different universe and not native to The First and they arrived via the Seed of Destruction, but you don't get an explanation of why they're invading and trying to destroy the world.

I think I just assumed the Androids and Machines in FFXIV came from the ark shot off at the end of Nier: Automata by the Machine Pillar, or a piece of it, that landed on Hydaelyn. Like the Ark hivemind just decided "Nope, I'm gonna ditch all this baggage" and dropped it off.

I can’t believe they had a dungeon themed after The Tower but didn’t use the actual Tower music from Automata. Biggest disappointment of the raid series, I want that poo poo on my orchestrion  Veotax posted:Yeah, but most of XIV's crossovers before this were limited time special events that lasted a week or two or the Monster Hunter crossover (which seems to be permanent) which is a short storyline and a trial. the raid is written by yoko taro, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a lot of stuff is a bit vague Augus fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Apr 19, 2021 |

Hunt11 posted:We finally have a trailer that shows some of the new stuff that will be in the game. So unless there is more than the trailer shows (which there could be) it looks like the only really new stuff is Episode Mermaid. The rest is just costumes and weapons. I'm pretty sure that the 15 Nightmares was just the DLC from the original release.

With Nier coming out this week, I thought to myself 'hey, maybe I should give Drakengard a shot!' About 15 minutes later, now armed with first hand knowledge of how bad a game Drakengard is, I started rereading the LP instead.
