When I first heard the "Automata" part of Nier: Automata's name I admit to a certain feeling of dread as I recalled memories of the junk heap.

While Kaine's outfit is clearly a case of working backward from "We want a woman to fight in lingerie" it is also a case of putting so much effort into justifying it and playing against type that it wraps around to being fine.

How did you not use Dark Lance on that boss until the mid point?  Seriously though, I don't know how far behind the thread is but leave Dark Lance on one button and switch out the other as needed. Using the right magic on the right enemies helps to get through Nier's bland combat but unfortunately it's really easy to forget to switch magics because it's behind a couple menus. Luckily the game only really throws you into situations where you're fighting one or two enemies types so you just need to see what you're fighting at the start of the encounter and switch then. Dark Lance is basically for everything that isn't really small and really fast. Dark Blast for basic work against basic, slower enemies. Dark Fist for physical resistant and slower enemies. Dark Phantasm for fast swarms. Gluttony for bullet hells with a single target. I don't think Wall ever saw much use because of the aforementioned magic switching menus.

I'd almost completely forgot about this level. Too bad Automata didn't do a Diablo style level, that would have been a lot of fun with its improved combat.

I only wish all dads could react like that when their quasi-son is turned into a levitating magic skeleton wearing a rag.

Fae as an avid follower of VGCW, WVGCW, EDBW, and BWA I would love to know what AI wrestling league you're watching. I didn't quite catch the name when you mentioned it. Also RIP happiness, you were in a Yoko Taro game.

"Um...yeah" was definitely my response to that too.

Tenebrais posted:So, I guess this whole run is from Kainé's perspective? We're still controlling Nier but we're hearing what she hears instead of what he does. Now that we know the shades are people we get to have our noses rubbed in how much of a monster we're being killing them all, something Kainé knew all along but can't escape from because if she stops murdering the murder-monster takes over her body and does more murder. I don't remember if this ever gets explained in the game but, while it's safe to assume the whole design is a "I want a woman in my game who fights in lingerie, works backwards from that" thing, shades don't like light so Kaine is wearing as little as possible except for the arm and leg that she lost entirely. Those limbs are presumably all shade and would die in light. Don't pay attention to how Tyrann just fought the party just fine in sunlight just now.

A man who must endlessly kill to reclaim what he loves more than anything but in the end falls to his own madness? What an impossible scenario that will never happen.

I think the wolves were about where I started to roll my eyes a bit at the overly maudlin scenarios you learn about in the second game. I was still invested in the characters, and Tyrann was such a joy to listen to, and was fully on board to see where it was going but plots behind the main plot just got a bit more predictable.

That doesn't even make sense as a pun. Maybe charocsma.
