Somehow I had completely missed this thread. I'm in Playthrough B, and finally finished that Parade Escort sidequest. The robot dude giving up on peace and love as he talked about how all his friends are probably dead now hit me a little harder than I expected.

Here is my current theory at this point in the game, about halfway through Playthrough B. I think YoRHa is a giant reference to...Yoko Taro, Hana Kikuchi, and the letter R which has probably become sentient. It might even be the capital one from the title of this very game. I think these three have been running the show this whole time and I'm guessing I'll probably be fighting them at some point.

So I just got my 80% Quest completion trophy upon finishing Speed Star. For anyone else still having trouble, starting the self-detonation as you fall off the first building and then dashing out of it as you hit the ground seemed to do the trick for me. From there just dash dash dash until the goal.

This change to how loading and saving works in Route C is super dumb.

Tatumje posted:What changes? It's nothing you can't really recover from but it just adds extra tedium to the game, which I'm not really fond of since I was already questioning how much playing through Route B really adds to the experience of Automata's story.

I don't think I said B is useless- it just personally didn't make me think especially differently about much of what I had done in A.

I finished Route C, getting Ending D. After how disappointing I found Route B, Route C was a hell of a lot better. Loved 9S going insane, thought the fate of Pascal's village was sad as poo poo, and loved the unexpected WTF that was going into the reconstruction of the library from the first NieR.

I wish this game were a little more generous with the rare enemy spawns and item spawns. Like I'm at 93% Unit Data but getting that last 2% just to complete the Reconnaissance Squad quest to get more Elaborate Gadgets while still also having to farm Simple Gadgets anyways just to upgrade Pod C feels like a bit much.

That segment really does seem like the inverse of the Jean-Paul ****** quest to me. If you do the Jean-Paul quest as soon as it becomes available, you end up having to run across a pretty significant portion of the map you've uncovered by that point in the story not only once but twice. It's a bit frustrating, but when you get fast travel about an hour into the story later, it really made me appreciate just how useful being able to teleport around really was. When you're infected, you're running around a part of the City map that I thought was already a bit annoying to navigate to begin with, at least at times. However, when you can't jump as consistently as you used to do, when enemies you could thoughtlessly smack away before not only are more dangerous but can actually threaten your ability to merely traverse this space etc., it did make me reconsider the kinds of movement I had had before and perhaps been taking for granted by that point in the game. It's still a bit annoying to play through, but it's a nice way for the game to make a point about the mechanics you're using that's a bit subtler than what most others would have done.

Please do not imply bad things about Operator 6O. I'm sure she's actually very good at the game and just didn't want to upstage the others.

In my experience Emil was more likely to change locations if you physically walked to another area and then came back, instead of teleporting.

Saagonsa posted:In terms of gameplay it's just 3 arenas with different gimmicks, not really worth the price. However, it has some pretty cool minor story stuff at the end. So if you're willing to blow $14 or however much it costs for that, yeah it's worth it.

Crasical posted:I just got this game on steam. It seems very good, I've just gotten to 'This Cannot Continue' and I am hooked. 1. Get and Equip some Offensive Heal and Deadly Heal chips. 2. Just start mashing buttons at random. Things will end up dead and killing enemies will heal any damage you take.

I also messed that up. Once you get to the right spot if you keep loving up the fishing the "TWO DAYS LATER" title card and the cutscene after that where Nier gets all pissy about being unable to catch the fish is legitimately funny IMO.

atholbrose posted:As much as I enjoyed Nier changing into a series of text adventures and then a survival horror game, I didn't really like being forced into a huge boss battle on going back to town with only 2 medicinal herbs and one healing potion. The isometric dungeon crawl made up for it, though. It was fun IMO.

I thought it was way easier to kill things with 9S's hacking than 2B's regular combat, so it really made that part of the story about 9S not being a combat model fall a bit flat for me.

Alright thread it's time for an important question to be answered that I've been agonizing over for months. Many a night has it caused me to suddenly awaken in the night in a cold sweat... Popola or Devola? Raxivace fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Sep 29, 2017 |

The Flight Unit themes? They're kind of boring though. I wish they just sold the pre-order theme. I would have paid a few bucks for that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C8c9EGPkSg

The "RLM test" is kind of dumb anyways since it seems to presume a character's job or actions or costuming can't be a form of characterization.
