Unexpected Raw Anime posted:I've never gotten past the first hour of NieR and I really don't have a good reason. I should just play it already The gameplay never really gets good, it's carried by the story which takes some time to get going. Also the sidequests and stuff stay 99% pointless throughout except some of them are actually good and there's no way to know which

Unfunny Poster posted:I never played Nier but the demo is great so far. Am I going to be at a huge loss in terms of story for not having played the previous game? Nobody knows yet but it seems like it's gonna be a self contained story it looks like Something from Nier that was a big big spoiler that I think might figure into this story from what I can tell You find out near the end that the "shadows" you kill which you thought are demons are the souls of humanity. Every person alive today is basically the left over bodies of humanity without a soul, the Shadow Lord is trying to return humanity to their bodies and you've been working against that the entire game. He kidnaps your daughter because she was his daughter, and puts her soul back into her. Eventually you kill him and doom humanity to get your fake body daughter back On New Game + you can hear the shadows speak to you and they're begging you to stop killing their children and friends it's pretty brutal The reason I think it's gonna come back is during the demo the machines start playing random PA messages and someone says "they're just machines nothing they do has any reason to it" and it reminded me a lot of that twist. Also the demo boss slowly starts to talk as you fight it

In Training posted:To get myself hype for Nier I'm finally getting around to playing the dmc games and in the first 30 seconds where Dante shoots a bullet through the Graphic Violence warning and a narrator shows up with "Two Millenia Ago..." and then trinity from the matrix shows up...I've been missing this game my whole life Skip straight from DMC 1 to DMC 3. DMC3 as a 17 year old was like, the one thing I most identified with in life. The opening cutscene is dante eating pizza while he kills demons. At one point Dante jumps off a building, fights a bunch of monsters, throws his sword, then shoots it so it goes faster, then runs after it and grabs it and starts flying A lot of the style Platinum games are known for owes itself directly to DMC3

OK SO The team that made the DMC games largely went on to become the internal Capcom developer Clover Clover made Okami, God Hand, Viewtiful Joe, which are all still some of the most stylish games around and were all really underappreciated for how good they were. Capcom was more concerned around that time with releasing the like 47th megaman game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man Look at how much of a loving mess the spinoffs get around 2003-2005. Even Viewtiful Joe which was like their novel new IP got 3 sequels in 2 years SO Capcom goes haha, stop making good games and dissolves Clover. Most of those team went on to make Platinum Games around this time So at this point Platinum Games is largely a team of people who got big with Devil May Cry + The Resident Evil creator (because it was an RE game remember) and then Sega paid them to make games for them So Bayonetta was a result of that and that's really the closest proper thing there is to a sequel to Devil May Cry 3. Now they kind of farmed out their fighting engine to a lot of IP holders who don't want to come up with the effort of making their own game and just want "Action game but X brand", and they're kind of the guys that just make poo poo for whoever can't develop games anymore as the only remaining competent Japanese developer. I think they got a lot of work specifically because they took MG Rising, a totally cancelled game, and managed to make a really good game within tight timelines under someone else's supervision. That;s why Transformers is literally the control scheme of MG Rising with robots Personally I think they took on too much because their quality took a major nosedive after Bayo 2 probably because they were just taking whatever they could get to stay afloat, and now Scalebound is cancelled too. BUt Nier is probably gonna be great A weird thing is that even though Kamiya directed DMC1 and Bayo 1, he just supervised on the sequels. The director of DMC 3 did Dragon's Dogma which I should really play sometime

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:it's basically an unrelated game that got reskinned as a DMC halfway through development. the combat's way shallower and there's far less weapon variety, the tone of the world/characters is different and not interesting, etc. its a typical mediocre PS2 action game Ya from a combat point of view if I remember correctly Dante has multiple swords with the exact same moveset but different stats which is like, come on, and the guns are the strongest thing in the game which makes the bosses boil down to stand on the other side of the screen and hold down square The whole thing controls like poo poo, it was enough of a mess that the team working on it changed halfway through and they put it out anyway I never played as the girl though and I heard she controlled much better, I just finished the game with Dante Unfunny Poster posted:With the exception of Transformers Devastation, which I thought was great, yeah. I need to give that more of a chance but from what I played it just felt like a worse MG: Rising, and then I started playing the Steam version of MG Rising because I never finished the DLC . I also started playing Bayo 2 again recently and that game is so unbelievably good, sucks that the switch isn't gonna have Wii U compatibility

Playing the PC port and performance is weird yeah. I can max out most games at 1080p with 60fps but this one has some weird framerate stuff and also full screen mode looks funny

It's weird because I love the concept and hopefulness of ending E but the actual ending is just sort of there. Like The credits sequence was more emotional than the ending itself D is the most nier ending, i chose to leave The 9s voice actor did a playthrough of the whole game and he reads out loud the text part of ending D

By the end of the game Normal provides a good challenge because the game will really suddenly ramp up assuming you've been doing sidequests or something

Literally the first question: Waypoint: This might seem like a strange question, but your stories are full of dark themes and unsettling stories—cannibalism, murder, death, suicide. In the real world, what makes you happy? Taro: Maybe it was the time I was told, "I've always liked you YOKO san" by a girl. However, because things like that don't happen too often in the real world, I mainly find happiness in food. When I'm able to eat cheap and delicious food, like ramen and beef bowls, I can't stop but to think, "Ah, what a great era I was born in." But to be honest, I want a girl to tell me, "I've always liked you YOKO san."
