I completed the "beat in less than one hour" and "don't get hit on the final boss" achievements for the Jetstream Sam DLC on Hard mode simultaneously and it still didn't piss me off as much as the five minutes I spent with Hegel.

Is there any known way to alter Emil's spawn location, or is it all random? I really want this kid's premium materials shop to re-open. e: for anyone curious, the answer was "complain about it on the Internet and then kill yourself repeatedly" Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Mar 31, 2017 |

Finished it. Excellent ending. My main complaint at the moment is that I was level 75 by the end so I broke the final bosses over my knee even on Hard. I wasn't even trying to grind! I just like it when my enemies 'splode!

HoboWithAShotgun posted:This hard mode tutorial is pretty brutal, I've died twice to the big fucker you have to fight after the two buzzsaws. I've seen a stream of it so I know that there's something like 2 or 3 phases after that as well. Tempted to just switch down to normal until the first save point. Switch to normal. Hard is unfeasible until your second playthrough at least.

I think the big problem with most of the hacking games is that they take place in such tight quarters that dodging bullets isn't really an option, which goes against what people think you need to do in a bullet hell game. You need to keep making use of cover and circling around the arena except now whoops we've made the walls out of murderstuff. I never got stymied by any of them but I didn't think they were all that fun, with one very obvious exception.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:re 9S, yes, I was just surprised that they didn't even "pretend" to give 2B any sort of, well, humanity for that fight. 9S hacking down a bunch of silent 2B clones vs. 9S hacking down a bunch of 2Bs pleading "9S it's me, what are you doing, NO-"? I mean, there's a certain level of heart-tearing I would expect, all things considered That would have been unbearably cliche.

Bad Seafood posted:Are there any sites tracking what materials you need to upgrade specific weapons, and where they might be bought or who drops them? The Fextralife wiki is decent about it, but you honestly won't have to worry much about weapon upgrade materials because they're all sold by lategame shops in bulk. It's the Pod upgrade materials that are excruciatingly rare.

Bad Seafood posted:Is there a way to manipulate his inventory or do I just have to hope he's in the right place at the right speed? His premium mats shop is unfortunately the rarest one. It only appears on the route near the Resistance Camp. For some reason I had way more luck making it spawn by dying and reloading, rather than reloading normally or changing warp points, but I have no reason to believe that's not just a coincidence.

There's Youtube clips of the former, if you want to know the exact button combination.

Nina posted:Nier is the only series where I can say "I really wish my favourite character would die" and mean it in an entirely benevolent way I like to think it's not so bad because Emil's optimism is unassailable when he hasn't gone mad from identity death and PTSD, but then I remember that the Japanese script for Automata has him go from dying happy to see his friends again to dying of exhaustion and heartbreak after the battle is over.

All of Yahtzee's bigger business ventures fell through as far as I know so he's pretty much shackled to his Angry Comedy Videogamesman job. It might explain why he's rarely in the mood to engage much with anything he plays.

I've killed 20+ innocent clowns with nothing to show for it other than the opportunity to type "I've killed 20+ innocent clowns." I'm pretty sure it's held by one of the taller 'bots in the marked zone. Just explode everything in the red area on your minimap and it'll drop.

Auto-Use Item is probably the worst of the "now you have to actually try to die" chips because the range for the item auto-use is dangerously small and you can just quickly pop a heal with one of the quick menus. A potent Auto-Heal chip is better for the mid-to-late game, even moreso if paired with a decent Anti-Chain Damage chip.

I seriously never had any trouble with Speed Star 2 even without totally topping up on Speed and Evasion Distance chips and I don't know why. It was the third race where I went "yeah this isn't happening" and didn't come back until I got a decent Overclock chip.

Calaveron posted:Goddamn playing as 9S is misery. He only has like, one combo and he feels so clunky and his attacks either have no range or have so much range they miss everything unless it's a very specific distance away from you. Please tell me I'm missing something 9S is definitely a step down from 2B, but if you augment his hacking with a decent Shock chip he rolls over almost everything in the game even better than she can. Spear and Gauntlet weapons might also serve you better than his short sword, because their combos are more focused and don't swing the weapon all over the place.

tweet my meat posted:"don't blame me if this kills ya" isn't quite the same as "hey this is going to instantly end the game and make you slog back through the backtracking sidequest you just did because you didn't have the foresight to plan around the game ending on a joke side mission" I dunno, this is pretty entertaining.

I just died in the shmup boss fight section of the tower because i was dumb and didn't get out of the way of a hail of bullets, but it just started me back at the start of the sequence.

i am tim! posted:Yeah, for the most part the lyrics for the music of Nier is gibberish. In interviews about the lyrics, Emi Evans (the singer/lyricist) explained that she was asked to have the songs sung in a futuristic language. She accomplished this by listening to songs in all kinds of languages, then imagined how they would drift or blend. I think Keiichi Okabe has given an idea of what the song might be about, but if he did he didn’t stick with the original plan. IE Grandma was gonna be played during the prologue, not a boss battle. people had a lot of fun trying to riddle out the chant from The Dark Colossus Destroys All JESUS. HORUS. JUDAS. EDEN. VASHTI. HAMAN. DEUS. NIER.
