I love that Emil is the steam icon for this game. I genuinely hope Taro continues to wear his Emil Mask and just never swaps to something else. Drakengard 4? Icon is still Emil etc.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:I just saw in some fanart for 2b that there are fist weapons in this game? Can you get some fist weapons reasonably fast or is it locked behind a bunch of poo poo? You can get a couple early with the power of money but I didn't start finding them till I was on Route B

Drakengard and Whole Game (Automata) spoilers So I forgot most of Drakengard but recently went back and refreshed myself just for kicks and now I'm super loving confused in Automata because of all the callbacks. I've counted Ending names: Flowers for a Broken Machine, Flowers for a Broken Spirit Manah's watcher voice turning into that of a mans. The two girls in red do the same thing. Watcher!Manah's stupid la la la thing comes back with the Emil copies doing the same thing. Is the game trying to imply something here? Or is it just call backs.

No Mods No Masters posted:There's an extremely fast cheesy way to grind up to level 99 there's a robot statue you can hack at the center of the theme park plaza who gives at least 2-3 levels each time he dies all the way up to 99. It can only be hacked while you're remote controlling one of the smaller robots for some reason. That said if you want the postgame content to be any challenge at all on normal stop in the 80s or so, at 99 I found it all completely trivial Mechanic and extremely minor C Route spoiler There's one enemy when you're taking out the anti air units in Route C that apparently has some shielding to make it unhackable from androids. It serves as kind of a tutorial for taking a small machine and using it to get into bigger ones. They literally never do it again though so whatever.

Rhonne posted:Finding Emil's house and seeing the floor covered in dead player bodies made me bust out laughing. My favorite thing about your spoiler is I heard there was a bonus boss and had no idea who it is or if it would be canon. Like would Nier pop up "hi i am here for SURPRISE BOSS!!" Soon as you find Emil's house and it's just a corpsefield you kinda get your answer in a instant

Question about two shops Clown robot is supposed to sell Pyrite. I remember seeing it in his stock but now that I'm talking to him the option isn't there. Do playthroughs change stocks and I never noticed? On Emil's shop I wanna buy his fist weapons but was told to reload until he's in front of the resistance camp. I've reloaded like 10-15 times and each time he's just in front of the desert and never moving from there. How do I get him to haul rear end somewhere else?

Vermain posted:You might be right, actually. I can't recall if it was in-game or in a novella, only that it was mentioned in some form in the original NieR. Yeah it wasn't in the game at all. Just the novel. A handful of LP's mention it and some catchup videos people have made so maybe you got it mixed in there.

McDragon posted:Oh yeah, now I remember I was gonna ask something mechanics-wise. I realised holding down Evade as A2 activated what I can only describe as afterburners. Just wondering, does the game ever actually tell you it is a thing, and probably more importantly, what the heck does it do apart from look cool and let you do ZOE figure skating? It does damage when you're in Berserk mode. Also character design gimmick between the two games I didn't notice till a friend mentioned it. 2B wears her bandana thing like Dad!Nier, 9S wears his like Emil's blindfold and A2 wears her like Kaine does . Kinda neat.

I'll never get why people think Metal Gear Rising is some benchmark in thoughtful combat when you can literally just tap forward and achieve literally the same thing as mashing dodge in this game. Like I finished Rising on the harder difficulties without bothering to learn proper timing because it's just so forgiving and it drops healthpacks like there's no tomorrow. (Not saying it's a bad game but always struck me as odd)

Cymbal Monkey posted:I'm curious, did anyone have any boss fights that they got really into/rate highly? I can't really think of any super memorable fights. Opera bot Adam fights (minus the mothership one) Tandem Battle at the Tower 9S v 2B Genuine flaw of the game in my opinion is that at the end of route A/B and into C all the bosses basically just become those stupid ball things. Like literally all of them that come to mind are either balls or androids..

End of Route C spoilers, but one thing I love meta-related about the game. I knew Devola and Popola were in the game because of trailers and art and whatnot so I was super excited to see that explained. When they showed up in the camp to give me the scanner and not just be background NPC's I was like "oh boy the twins are getting introduced heeere we go." The shot of them over a waking up 9S and everything just had me super suspect of them and wondering just what kind of twist I was in for... only for there to be no twists. It wasn't until I finished the game and thought about it that I realized just how right they were that people judged them because of the NieR pairing and it made me feel legit guilty.

I got the first secret boss down after doing ending A-E and saw one labeled "SPOILERS IN THIS ACHIEVEMENT SO NOT TELLING YOU WHAT IT IS". I bought it because I thought my game was bugged (I mean, I had all the spoiler achievements already I thought) and it wound up being the "see all endings" one. Went and did it anyway but woof that doesn't feel good.

I will never agree that Revengance is more intimate or whatever than NieR lol The only difference is there's set combat arenas in Revengance and they give you a grade. If fights in NieR gave you a grade it would literally be the same combat. Hell given the fact you can swap weapons midcombo in NieR without having to pause the game as well as pod switching/customization I'd argue that it's even deeper possibility wise in Automata. Edit: Oops missed most of a page

Ursine Catastrophe posted:I was legitimately surprised that that was the only place that ever had EMP bots, although that might be also a normal/hard mode thing, since I just started on Normal and forgot the slider exists. They don't look any different then normal enemies and they're never as densely packed as that one moment so it's easy to gloss over them. They're all over the city in C- it's just they don't use that attack super often.

Man, I've been a fan of Nier for a long, long time now as well as Drakengard games (despite not playing them) and I've always wished more people would give the original NieR a chance via playing it themselves or reading a LP. I'd sit down and talk to friends about it, chat it up but like... it was just so danged niche. It's actually kinda freaking me out a little to see Automata explode like it has. Going into a Dark Souls video and reading WOAH THATS SOME NIER TYPE poo poo is just surreal as all hell. I can only imagine how Taro feels Vermain posted:The one compelling theory I've seen is that the "treasures" represent the different ways in which the various robot communities splintered in their attempts to become more human: the desert represents Love, Pascal's village represents Peace, etc. Considering the shape of the love robot in those sequences and it being alone when they talk about Adam's "hate" I'm 100% sure that's wrong and it's just talking about Simone. Like the cutout even has her dress and everything. I think that the machines can share their treasures and build off them but each one has their own unique shape.

Tarezax posted:If he starts an attack windup it's too late to get your attack in since it's a mirror match. Holding down your evade button makes Pascal's Engels guard, which will negate all damage from an incoming attack and allow you a guaranteed hit afterwards, because you can start your own attack almost immediately while the enemy is stuck in the recovery animation. If you block Engles has a chance to do a follow up smack and backhand you so maybe don't mash the button the second the first hit connects. Really though I'd throw a punch and he just kept walking into it like a dummy.

So can I ask something about 9S and 2B? End game talk. I talked with a few friends on the topic of love and we're kinda butting heads. Chatted up different forums and more butting of heads from multiple sides. I read the game as 9S and 2B being in love romantically. A kind of tragic romance that both sides are unable to come out with. Couple friends agreed and that was that until talking with another who said "nah it's family love, like a brother and sister. Not romantic at all." which, despite the family theme from Adam and Eve I didn't really get from the two of them. Now a few places I've been too and mentioned it seem to be butting heads as well and I'm kinda lost. Is it a romantic situation or more family?
