Everybody's still alive tho
So when do we fight 8-4?
I want to fight Okabe. I bet he'd have the best boss theme. Also he'd hurt you with music Jakuzure style.

You do not want rhythm games back in the drakenier universe.
Trust me on this.
Trust me on this.
Lmao
Good point. Maybe just turn the bullets into Notation and have him attack to a beat. Kind of like how Simone does with her bullet patterns but better.

I will never be pressed enough over Yoko's storytelling to actually go and play the Drakengard games.

3's was somehow worse.
Nah drakengard is fascinating. I knew yoko taro through drakengard firstly. Never played the first nier before automata.

Hey that was one of the best songs in D3.
No no i was referring to D1's queen beast fight when talking about the song. D3's is sweet
Ah I missread it.
Drakengard 3's was simultaniously the hardest, the worst, the most unfair and yet one of the most memorable, most emotional and best final bossfights in videogames.
This reminds me just how much i want a KLk game from Platinum
It's literally a perfect combination.

The Lead Pipe one was, but the other references to Father and Brother Nier in the weapon stories were the same in the Japanese version.

Now I'm just hunting down playthroughs to watch.
JUST GET OUT OF MY HEAD ALREADY GAME JESUS CHRIST.
JUST GET OUT OF MY HEAD ALREADY GAME JESUS CHRIST.
Liam (Rising Superstream) bawled at the ending.
AngriestPat just finished today, he seemed to love it and it was fun watching him be so wrong about literally everything.
Cohh finished this week too. Haven't really seen any other streamers/LPers finish it with a facecam, which I like because I can see how they react to certain key moments.
Just watched Liam's final VOD.
Damn...
I got shivers with him, and cried all over again. What a powerful ending.
Until late last year, I wasn't too sure about this gen. Bloodborne was one of the greatest games of all time, but other than that, it was ok. The Last Guardian and Automata changed that, to me.
It's amazing how close to each other these two incredibly powerful games that deeply affected me came out.
And with Platinum developing it, Automata came to the discussion "story vs gameplay" posting whynotboth.gif
Now let's watch Pat's video.
Cirno broke down during the Pascal part.

Anyone have links to those streamers?
Finished the game this weekend, and it blew me away.
Playing it right after Breath of the Wild was an extraordinary experience for me. The two games are like the Yin and Yang of each other in the most polarizing ways. One focuses on self-directed gameplay, while the other focuses on narrative. One is pure escapism, while the other forces you to be introspective. Both achieving in my opinion, their goals perfectly and both dominated my mind over the last month in completely different and amazing ways and will likely wind up being two of my top 5 games I've ever played.
Just wow, what a month

Here's a link to one of Cirno's

This vod has the pascal part in it, toward the end. You'll have to look at the other videos if you want the full playthrough.
Whenever he plays a game with any emotional impact he'll end up crying, Danganronpa 2 and Steins Gate destroyed him as well.

So do we know why the failed (Nier 1) Devola and Popola were as strong as they were? I feel like the models in this game weren't as powerful.
Thanks for the link! For some reason I'm having trouble searching his archives.
Probably by design, to be able to oversee such an important project and keep everything in check. The ones in this game are definitely not as powerful, but that's because all models were reprogrammed and had their memories wiped at some point, and were made to feel guilt. It would be wise to nerf them a little bit if they're intentionally putting them out in the world to be hated.
Pascal was the best/hardest part in the game, but especially AFTER everything happens and you go back to the village. Him naively selling the parts of the dead robo children he wanted to protect that much... damn!
That vod also has the C opening, he wasn't too happy about that either.
Shit. I didn't know that. I killed him. I mean he wouldn't be Pascal without his memories, so it seemed like the better thing to do, and reading that with the village after...it definitely is the right thing to do...Pascal wouldn't want to be that.
I want a drakenier game to be a rhythm game. Let's dig deep that rabbit hole and go even deeper.
I always try to lead people to see Pascal in the village after the "incident" by strongly suggesting they play as A2 until they're forced to play as 9S.
I figure, once they deal with Pascal, there's a high likelihood they'll be curious to see what the village looks like now.
Or maybe they decide to kill Pascal and never get that far lmao
Y'all should help me.
I think i'm pretty close to the end. I got endings A B and C and the chapter select but i've heard rumblings there is both a D and E?
I'm assuming D is siding with 9S instead of 2A but I don't have a clear path to D/E whichever is the last one.
I specifically asked some people on a discord a few days ago and they told me you don't need to 100% weapons or sidequests or anything to get all the main endings. Or did they just mean you can get there by buying your way through the secret shop and you do need at least the "acheivements" for 80%-100%ing your way through the normal stuff
That secret shop is fucking fantastic and the biggest and greatest fuck-you to trophies. I don't want to do the boring fishing minigame or go comb the world that I already bled to death for pods and pod programs and weapons I somehow missed. So I get to just buy my way out of it with my absurd monetary reserves.
I don't understand how I missed so many sidequests looking at the chapter select, but aside from annoying quests that seem like they finished but have one last handin to do (which you have to start all the way over again when you start a new route or trigger it with chapter select) i've really enjoyed the quest text and developments and little mysteries. Getting the 20whatever optional endings and Finishing up sidequests with chapter select are probably the only two things im not going to buy my way out of.
I also need to figure out with chapter select how to get past that damn sandstorm that refuses to let me get a photograph location for that super early 2B/9S quest.

Yeah I remember you told me on the OT that keep playing with A2 until the end, so I should thank you for that
or maybe not lol poor Pascal :_(
Yeah after seeing that I had my doubts if I did the right thing.
Get out of here lol
Use Chapter Select to pick 9S to fight as, and then Ending D and E progress naturally from that.
And regarding the trophies, please keep it on the hush hush!
Heh, you're welcome.

Just chapter select to the 9S vs A2 fight and you're good.

You need to do it for a bonus fight/bad ending, but not for any of the main ones. Achievements have no bearing on anything in-game.
I figured spoiler thread would be the one place I could go for help/speak freely. oops i guess?
thanks though. just did a blind post and scrolled looking for green quotebox
They just don't want you to get spoiled on the last ending. Get the last two then come back to us

Does no other android know of or recognize Emil as part of the world? Lol
So what Exactly happens after E,
So what Exactly happens after E,
when the pods bring all the parts back together?
They get fixed up I guess, and go on to live their lives. Emil Heads' weapon story suggests that it was all for naught tho...
