I'd have to double check but I think the Japanese text for the 2b (and subsequently the kaine achievement) use a different word and 'secret' is a lazy/awkward localization. Probably should have had someone look over that!

it even uses the same wording. "Discovered 2B's secret 10 times" "Discovered Kaine's secret 10 times" but it's much more nefarious sounding with Kaine.

That's a really hosed up way to talk about perving on your intersex character

Like, the perving achievement is lame on its own, but they really shoulda thought that through

Yeah that seems like something that can and should be patched right the hell out.

Or change the code so you have to look up the book's spine crevice to earn the achievement.

Is it definitely another perv trophy, or is it something else with a really poorly chosen description to riff on the old trophy?

I mean the Automata had a perv trophy so I don’t know why it wouldn’t be that again

Endorph

its the exact same wording as the perv trophy in automata, including the 'secret' part. its just a direct copy of the text. the jp text for the automata trophy, and the english text, both had the word 'secret' in it.

so its just a joke about the automata trophy. if you have an issue with that element thats fair, but its not meant to be any kind of joke about kaine specifically.

But reusing that text with the full context of Kaine really sucks? I'm still getting the game but it's a totally fair thing to be upset about even if it's just riffing on something else.

oh its fair to be like, upset they didnt think about it, but i dont think theres any malice about kaine specifically intended. that doesnt absolve them of the problem but you get what i mean

Yeah, I don’t think it was intended to be phobic, but it definitely was boneheaded and tone deaf at the very least. Good excuse to remove it, I say.

i mean yeah, most of us understand they they just bumbled into being incredibly gross by not considering what they were doing at all while copy pasting their previous creep poo poo into a new context rather than there being someone there cackling about how they've slipped their phobic poo poo into the trophy list

Also if it’s a fakeout and it’s an achievement for something totally different instead of an upskirt, gently caress off, that’s not funny.

Also, yeah, the achievement is unnecessarily pervy even on its face, and then you add Kaine's entire backstory which makes it... ugh, just not cool at all. Doubt it was intentional but yeah, someone was asleep at the wheel for a bit on this one.

just preordered nier but it's likely arriving when i'm away from home, so my housemate gets to play it. he has no idea what the game is like other than it's "the prequel of automata"

i told him that all the sidequests are important and he should play them. also to ensure he completes all the fishing.

That stuff is hardly DIRE. Automata had combinations of wouldn't run, detect correct resolutions, or correct input devices on all 3 computers I tried it on without the fan patch.

Still, getting on pc so I can hack through any tedious bullshit they've left in.
