I certainly did not expect this poo poo.

Robot orgy and crazy misplaced enactments of human life aside.

What the gently caress, Yoko Taro :stare:

EDIT: Okay, so, immediate reaction aside, and having watched the video footage, I noticed something interesting. The Goliath robot lifeform has some neat design aesthetics to it. Its body is made up of several controlling robot lifeforms. A tiny head at the top. One entire robot lifeform making up the jetpack. A tiny and unmasked head sticking out from the crotch and having a view of where the legs end up. For some reason, there's also a robot lifeform head module in each of its arms. Not exactly sure what the significance is of that, but these things can combine and did so even before they decided to Voltron up into this Sephiroth spawning robo womb.

Take note that the thing’s actual head is below the body’s “neck” there. See? There’s a little round machine lifeform head. And it looks pissed.



...

All that aside, there’s also one final trick up Simone’s skirt. And it is err...

A giant Xenomorph dick! Sure, why not? That’s happening now. We should PROBABLY stay the hell away from the snarling butt worm and finish this boss off from afar. Not just because it’s a freaky teethed cybernetic horror coming from under a robotic opera singer’s butt. But because...


NIER! AUTOMATA! :stonkhat:

As an aside, I dig how this is a continued theme - components have little bitty heads controlling them. Even the giant xenomorph dick. Especially the giant xenomorph dick.

The chiptune music when you get hacked in this fight is such a nice touch. I had a big, stupid grin on my face when it happened to me.

I absolutely love how the music segues almost cleanly from orchestral to chiptune and back as you're forcibly switched between gameplay segments like that. It's just gorgeous.

Will the giant Emil heads get appropriately sized tuk-tuks?

Cargo liner ships. With oversized, massive tank threads.

I'm honestly worrying about the state of Emil and how that relates to the robot lifeforms we've found so far. Especially after that giant head garden.

Escalation, alright :stare:

Grün's musical theme does have a sweet nautical, swashbuckling slant to it.

2B new well enough to leave the Party Tank in peace and let those goofy machine boys have a fun time. They weren’t hurting anyone. However, now that 9S is in charge of this shindig... he simply cannot abide reckless partying behavior. They’re causing a ruckus. There’s going to be noise complaints from the neighbors. They’ve simply got to go!

Well then. I didn't realize this worked.

The thing is, those six numbers are also the names of the six sisters from Drakengard 3. :tinfoil:

I want to believe we are not quite going to see the Pods quite reference that. Especially considering the subservience and utilitarian nature of the Pods so far.

You know, it just occurred to me, the game keeps making you listen to the end credits, each time in a different language, which would naturally make you pay more attention. That sort of thing would be pretty solid preparation if, say, the game was planning to make you engage in a rhythm battle over that same track. :tinfoil:

No god. No.

No.

NOOO.
