arisu posted:About 9 hours in now, taking my time with exploration and side quests though. Game's got a lot more charm than I was expecting when I started, the machines themselves have so much personality. They're some of my favorite parts. I really love all the ways they find to differentiate themselves

Regular ps4. Yesterday I heard a pop and then the right audio channel went out, so I went to dashboard and it was out there too so I started to get worried, but restarting the console fixed it.

I'm in route c but this is just gameplay related did I miss the third pod somewhere? I've had vulcan and missile forever and I chase down every sidequest marker that shows up but I still haven't found the third. Maybe I need to fish it up somewhere?

Finished it. I don't know what people who are new to the series will think but I loved it. 95% sidequests, 97% weapons, 42 hours.

For people who've finished the game all the way: Did you read the translation of the stage play? If you didn't, what was your feeling on A2? I think they give a decent amount of the backstory in game if you do Anemone's memories sidequest and then talk to her as A2 and read the terminals, but I'm still wondering how people are going to take her. Speaking of important sidequests, if you don't do the red hood sidequest does the type-E thing at the very end just come completely out of left field? I think the only other mention of it is in A2's intel, which is also optional lol

this unit data sidequest is killing meMindblast posted:Also I just finished the game, all main endings. That was some crazy poo poo. Still wondering about 2E's actual assignment and how feasible/useful it was. If I get it correctly, the purpose was to kill 9s to... what, reset him? Keep him from learning too much because he was so advanced he would end up always figuring it out? Is the suggestion that 9s and 2B/E go back way longer than we're shown and 9s just can't remember? Maybe I just missed archive items. Yeah, it's been happening since before the game started. If you think back there were actually a lot of little signs of it. The first time you're in the bunker one of the operators mentions how often she sees 2B and 9S together and how close they supposedly are, but at the time as far as you know it's just like, the third time they've ever met? 2B's super strong reaction to 9S getting hurt (it's not like she freaks out about her squad getting pasted on the way in, or really anyone but 9S at any point ever), and then her clenched fist moment after finding out he lost his memory of it. At the end of A and B route when she's sobbing about how it's always like this. Her going all BEEP BOOP EMOTIONS ARE PROHIBITED every time 9S shows even the slightest affection for her. Maybe even her first lines when you start a new game? There are probably a lot more. Also there are a few side missions that are pretty explicitly type-E poo poo, like apparently normal units aren't regularly given confidential missions to hunt down traitors. They're ordered to attack A2 immediately and A2's intel talks about her being hunted by type-Es, etc. e: route c turns out A2's red dash does damage while in berserk mode lets hang out fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Mar 2, 2017 |

Josuke Higashikata posted:There's a live event going on right now. Yoko Taro said he wants DLC for this game to be like Witcher 3's (!) but there's no realistic expectation of that. It's pretty heartening that he wants to do something substantial at least. All comes down to how much money Square is willing to give him.

This review on metacritic lolquote:Put simply, NieR: Automata is the greatest game ever made. It’s not just that it is the deepest and most narratively potent game ever developed - and it is a truly deep narrative experience - but more than that, Yoko Taro has finally found perhaps the developer on the planet capable of doing his visionary work justice. This game is a true, genuine work of art, and anyone who wants to prove that gaming does possess an equivalent to the greatest novels, operas, theatre plays, or paintings, now has that very game to point to. Yoko Taro is gaming’s Shakespeare, Da Vinci, and Welles, all rolled into one.

You can't permanently miss sidequests, you'll always have a chance to do them later if you want. Sometimes they just go away for a while. Watching streams, yikes @ people just running in and slaughtering non-hostiles

A lot of what I've seen is people playing on hard because they're real tough guys and then being super afraid of getting close to enemies because every hit does 90 to 100% of their health. but of course they'll never turn the difficulty down.
