In my defense, I momentarily lost sight of myself out of sheer excitement of TDI playing this game  I apologize profusely.It wasn't a terribly spoilery thing and like 85% of people playing the game will never even notice it, anyway.

The debUnked ending is my favorite  Just for the mental image of the commander standing straight as a board, tumbling end over end into deep space, with a ">:c" on her face.

MarquiseMindfang posted:I deliberated over that self-destruct option for about half an hour when I first played. Should I leave it off? Is someone going to try and blow me up in the future and I need it to be off to not die? Or will circumstances call for another tactical suicide later, and I'll regret not being able to explode? These are the kind of over-analytical panics we force ourselves into when we know Yoko Taro is at the wheel

i mean we can just print out another one of him why would it matter  It doesn't matter if you can just print out a new one to replace them, seeing your buddies die still sucks. Especially if it's for the thousandth time- and, if like 9S here, they might not have their memories 'up to date' when they get rebuilt, so they aren't the buddy they were when they died.

The game loving tells you fifty times THERE IS NO AUTO SAVE, DO IT MANUALLY. I've still heard no end of bitching about it  I love that you can do the Terminator 2 chip-removal scene on yourself, though

I used Fang of the Twins for almost my entire first playthrough. It's absurdly powerful for how early you can find it, and the upgrade materials for it some of the more common ones.

I got like 90% of the way through the first Lords of Shadow before a bug stopped my playthrough on my previous computer (turns out you literally cannot kill one of the bosses if your computer hardware isn't above the minimum required specs  The trap you need to lead them into just will not stay open long enough for you to force them into it!) and I never touched more than the demo of 2, but I would greatly enjoy seeing those.

The Repo Man posted:In NieR news, I managed to power through a ton of story. I'm interested how Id tackles a side quest he brought up earlier, since I found a way to beat it fairly easy entirely on accident. No movement speed chips required. Can you PM me this method? I think know the exact sidequest you're talking about and that loving quest nearly broke my controller, but I did it the intended way Please PM me this easier method so I can scream at myself for not realizing it sooner.

I'm at work or I'd look up the specifics of it again, but basically incompetent programming meant lower end video card framerates would throw the QTE timing off so you'd run out of time to mash the buttons to force him in before the trap reset itself Now that I've a GTX 970, I could probably do it no problem, but I lost that save with the migration to the new computer and  at playing through the game again. The mood will take me again eventually. Maybe.E: it was acknowledged by Konami themselves with basically a "welp, upgrade your drivers and hope for the best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" when i went looking for workarounds, that much I remember clearly.

I only request that you at least vaguely think about looking into making it a subtitled LP. Being deaf screwed me out of a lot of conversations in Automata, it seems, and it screws me out of watching many things still. I had no idea the machines chanted THIS CANNOT CONTINUE all the while making the robowomb, for example.

Yes, it's an option. That doesn't mean it's not really loving stupid. We didn't spend money on this poo poo to not play it. It doesn't sound ~deep and meaningful~.

That Yonah weapon story E: It was one of the first 5 things I fished out of the sewer, too; and it cemented me fishing absolutely everywhere I had the opportunity after that, on the off-chance that somewhere else had a weapon to be fished up.

apocalypticCritic posted:I'm pretty sure they actively reference both protagonists. Hell, in this very update, the Pipe references Papa!Nier, the spear references Brother!Nier. So... basically everything happened in canon. Including the contradictory things. Given that Drakengard 3 basically established that the multi-verse is a thing, I'm okay with both Papa Nier and Brother Nier being canon.

I didn't kill Party Tank but entering this area is when I learned that setting 9S to anything but Neutral or Passive is a really really bad idea because he flipped the gently caress out and attacked everything around the statue as soon as we entered  I'm sorry! I just wanted to join the party! You sit outside and think about what you've done you, 9S, you horrible little racist.

KamikazePotato posted:Sorry man. The Nier games might have the best sound design I've heard in gaming so it's natural that people would talk about it. If you're in this thread though, you probably enjoyed it enough regardless, so hey. I can still play the game via reading the subtitles, and I love it to pieces, I'm just sad that I miss all these little nuances. Glazius posted:Machine emotions can overwhelm android emotions, so it's better just to deny emotion flat-out than let it end you? Maybe? Which further raises the question of "what is, in fact, the difference between androids and machine" " "

Just because they're not made of meat (and given what we saw of 9S's limbs in the prologue, they've still got plenty of organic bits!) doesn't mean their emotions, thoughts, ect aren't every bit as valid. Yes, it's you.  You are the robot.
