Just joined the Nier train as well. For those on the fence on getting this for the PS4. If you have a PS plus account you get $18 off which is a decent deal.

Danaru posted:I just want to say, I absolutely adore the reveal of the watchers because of how... "Delicate" isn't the word, but there was no thunderous fanfare or terror stings, just... a baby, then lot's of babies, and enough time to think "...okay but WHY baby?" as they sorta flew around a bit and landed, before the teeth gnashing begins in earnest. I still remember stumbling upon that clip on youtube by accident and just staring at the screen as I wondered what the gently caress I was watching.

Finally got around to playing the game today and wow. This has been one of the weirdest experiences playing video games. Also I am surprised that no reference was made to the its a healthy baby boy trophy for being Adam. Edit: Meant to say beating Adam. Hunt11 fucked around with this message at 07:38 on May 9, 2017 |

There is nothing quite like being a bit further on this crazy ride of a game, allowing you to know and look forward to the crazy bits that will come up whilst also knowing that even more insanity awaits you on your personal file.

I was caught off guard in that being an actual ending and nothing else. Of course I still saved before eating the drat fish so I lost nothing.

To me it feels like a desperate attempt to try and keep all the Androids focused on completing the mission of ridding the world of machines. Without it the androids would quickly become a never ending teen drama.

Rainuwastaken posted:I took it to be a family thing as well. Even if they aren't Yorha, the military androids on earth must live awful, lonely lives. Plus, what with the machines becoming smarter and starting to replicate humanity with the whole baby thing, I'd be surprised if androids weren't ahead of them, grappling with more complicated emotional issues instead of the early forms of mimicry. The thing with Drakengard is the sheer variety of horrors in store for the unlucky bastards who live in the setting. So my take of the worst option is that though messed up, affection went both ways in the relationship until the mysterious forces killed them both.

McFetusBurger posted:Didn't 9S keep saying the machines aren't intelligent and don't say anything meaningful? He's sure taking this functional village of sentient robots in stride. He also seems pretty ok with talking to and helping them out. Not at all trying to call out bad writing (though the speed at which he changes his stance is pretty jarring), in fact it seems like this current generation of androids thinks a lot more flexibly on their duty and attitude towards the machines (we've seen multiple desertions even though they just deployed at the beginning of the game, including 2 who were hiding out in a machine village). There is a couple explanations for it. One is that he doesn't really believe it and is just rehashing the company motto to help him get through his job. The other is that he is naturally curious due to being a scanner so since the village is an intriguing puzzle he is more then happy to explore the residents to try and figure out what makes them tick.

SatansBestBuddy posted:That's one sticking point I have with the game, is reusing the tired old post-apocalypse look that other games use. The first Nier had people already rebuilding with bricks and mortar again, but this one is all sky scrappers and rusted out, reused materials for buildings. So like, did civilization advance to building skyscrapers again? Or are skyscrapers expected to last for ten thousand years and at least 13 more world wars? I don't know. A war going on for longer then human history is a perfectly good reason for everything to be reduced to rubble.
