Dr. Snark posted:...You do know that this is a DrakeNier game, right? This poo poo is par for the course. My statement was simply meant as a neutral observation, not amazement or something else, and I was curious how deep the trolling went in this particular case. I have reposted the old Trolled by Cavia image a couple times; after all, being trolled is a very important part of the DrakeNier experience.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but someone actually understands the Cell (or however that insane PS3 CPU is called) enough to write a recompiler. I'll have to bookmark the site for my next PC

Hold on, hold on. The desert is where Façade was (or at least nearby) We saw Kainé's home under the shopping mall. So either 1) Emil decided to move the whole desert together with Kanié's home or 2) what the gently caress are those city ruins doing here there was nothing like that in the first Nier (the Shadowlord palace maybe?)

They sent it back to before Draken 3, thus making possible the Draken 1 E ending down the line. It's a glorious time loop of blood and tears.

Rangpur posted:It's not the most efficient way of doing it, but Slow is one of the few Pod programs that Speed Star isn't immune too. Every little bit helps when you're struggling with that filthy cheater. There's better ways of cheating Speed Star. When charging up a pod program, time slows down for everyone except 2B / 9S until the charge is full. Charge a pod program, at full charge shoot the pod once or twice so you cancel the charge without using it and triggering the program cooldown, repeat. The main problem is that you can't pod-glide while the pod is charging up so that may trip you if you need to do a long jump. E: I almost forgot, I finished the game recently. Any and all speculation I made in this thread was before I overtook Id's playthrough and was based only on the game up until that point. For obvious reasons, I'll not do any speculation anymore.

It's time consuming, but if you don't mind wasting 15 minutes the combat in this game is actually quite enjoyable. I then engaged the last form and promptly said to myself, gently caress it I'll return back later when I'm Hackerman. Thank god I did because I probably would have broken a controller upon getting one-shot forty minutes in.

I honestly was surprised they delayed the untwist (seriously, is there anyone that didn't call it) so late in the game. Oh well, humanity's dead and so are the aliens, this whole war is even more loving pointless, Drakengard.

Hey it this document. I didn't recall you got it this early, probably because we get an extended version later apparently and I'm confusing the two. Man, a DrakeNier researcher deciding something would be too inhumane to implement? I have to call bullshit. Although to be fair, the alternate solution they found was to torture some (well, a lot of) prisoners of war, so it probably still checks out.

Dr. Snark posted:To be fair, the "inhumanity" of using machine cores was because they considered everything about YoRHa to be completely expendable. They decided that using common AI for YoRHa was too inhumane and they actually searched for and found an alternative solution instead of simply shrugging. That is what I never imagined a DrakeNier researcher doing. The alternative solution is as horrible as the original proposal but baby steps, baby steps.

You know, I think Popola and Devola prime could have at least solved the Noir problem with a bit of lateral thinking and reverse psychology. Basically, you need to make sure Weiss wants to fuse, so: Tell Nier and Weiss that the books have to fuse to cure Yonah and spin a story about Noir was separated from Weiss by an evil sorcerer or something. I mean, he's Albert Wesker, even a toddler would manage to bluff about Wesker being evil. gently caress, add a spin about how Noir could risk ending being in charge of the fusion so Weiss is not suspicious when it starts. Explain the plan and tell Shadowlord and Noir to ham it up on how Nier will never manage to fuse the books and save Yonah. Shadowlord may or may not agree but there's no way that Wesker wouldn't. There, now you have a fused grimoire and a chance to complete project Gestalt. Of course something else would go wrong because DrakeNier universe.

Glazius posted:So, androids are just machines. Well, the futile struggle to save humanity makes sense. Machines are always doing futile things. No, that's just YoRHa.

Weren't those the White Chlorination shades, not the Gestalt shades? Anyway no way Automata's Popola and Devola are the same ones as in Replicant/Gestalt. Those two were killed by Replicant Jimbo and thoroughly vaporized.

I can't understate how satisfying it is to finally give the Machine Network a blow they can't ignore. I mean, it probably doesn't amount to much worse than the universe worst drunken bender and subsequent hangover, but drat if it isn't going to feel like poo poo tomorrow morning.
