I started off the new year with Shootas, Blood, and Teef. I'm not crazy about it. The guns feel extremely weak. Like, a regular drat Guardsman takes two shotgun blasts to kill. And I'm playing on easy!

Also, the controls are wild. You aim with one stick and move with the other. Which I'm guessing works fine on a computer but on a controller that's gonna be pretty tough to do precisely so it kinda auto aims a little, but not well at all. Shooting at stuff above or below you is not easy

I knew Nier was an action game, but I wasn't expecting it to seamlessly transition back and forth between 3d character action, sidescroller, and SHMUP. That is extremely cool I've gotten to the open world, which does have me a bit worried because the built level that did those transitions was great, but I'll see how it goes. I want to pet the moose.

I've also become somewhat concerned about the morality of 2B's mission

MTG has gotten pretty bad with releases in recent years with 2022 being the most egregious so far especially when they released the magic 30th set.

Secret lairs are coming out left and right and it's hard to keep up with if you're a collector. There's collectors editions for every set now, too. Release schedule has been sped up so nearly every month you need to buy something, compared with the 3 month cycle they used to do. Especially now that they print commander specific sets, it just feels like you're drowning. They show no signs of slowing down this year.

There are no more block sets, only standalone sets which I guess makes sense but good bye if you used to like older drafting blocks.

The prof at Tolarian Academy has really good vids on a lot of problems with modern mtg.

Speaking of Warhammer, they did a colab with Warhammer recently and put out some Warhammer Magic the Gathering decks. I thought I might pick one up as a curiosity even though I don't play Magic, but then I found out they were 60 dollars each. 60 dollars for a deck of cards.

I’m playing Nier and I’m lost. I’m supposed to look for 9s, I got a scanner, but there’s no indication where I’m supposed to look. Am I really supposed to just run around the entire map until… something happens?

I'm playing through that factory cult part of Niew and I died at least 15 minutes after the most recent save point. And that factory setup is so repetitive that during multiple points I was wondering if I had messed up and was just running in circles. So I'm not feeling up to redoing that tonight.

I beat Nier. Pretty fun. The combat and character design was great, the seamless transition between 3D action, 2D action, and Shmup was fantastic. But the bosses didn’t have a lot of personality and I think I spent more time running around the hub world than actually doing the levels.

Gripweed, you can quit at any time. The game doesn't change, if you arent having fun now you won't be having fun later.

I enjoyed the game. I had some criticisms, the lack of personality in the bosses and the amount of time spent in the hub world compared to the proper levels, but I still enjoyed the game.

I forgot to mention that I found the plot resolution rather underwhelming, but I guess that's because I hadn't properly beaten the game yet.

Ive got all achievements and all trophies in Nier Automata and its honestly a pretty middling game. I wouldn't make yourself keep playing if your reaction to "the ending feels incomplete" is to just stop playing even with people yelling at you thats not the actual end of the game.

Dude, I have other stuff going on. I played the game for like an hour today to get to the first credits. The fact that I didn't immediately drop everything to go spend more time on the game when I found out that there's more after the credits doesn't mean I didn't like the game, it just means I am a person who has to do things other than gaming and I already spent a decent chunk of time today gaming.

The new routes aren’t replays they are completely different things. Nier Automata is GOAT-level and route A is barely scratching the surface

Wait, so there isn't more after the credits, beating it once just unlocks other routes?

Why the gently caress didn't you people just say that instead of being weirdly cryptic for no reason?
