I got ending A and ending B and golly what a good game. Strong game of the year contender.
I start up again and
I just hit the title card
and my mouth has been stuck open since I started
.

Game just jumped from best of the year to one of the best ever. jesus christ this is next level

i understand what you mean. its honestly why it left such an impression for me :D
 
can you redo side-quests in route B (the one you already finished) ? I'm asking because
9S has his own operator with new dialogue... i was thinking maybe some sidequests have new dialogue too?

also how do i get new music data? Never find one except the one you got at the beginning

You can not redo sidequests

Alright, so now I know the context of the
9S stabbing 2B thing in the trailer.
Wasn't so bad after all. Kind of. Okay, maybe it was.

Only about 7 hours in or so but loving it. So refreshing. I fucking love all these quality Japanese games coming out later. Reminds me of the PS2 era.

I just had to get that joke ending, sorry you two.

And so my ending list increases...

So I started playing and picked Hard difficulty. The giant saw thing one hit killed me. Errrrrr ok I guess I'll switch to Normal then...
 
Is there a "chapter select" of some sort that lets you go back and get things you may have missed? Or are you out of luck if you miss something you were only able to get (or do) before Ending A, before Ending B, etc.

3½ hours in. Not sure how I feel about the game.

Silver, copper etc safe to sell? If not what is?

Items that mention "can be exchanged for money" are safe to sell, others aren't

How about I play a game that doesn't waste my time instead?

This is garbage. Completely unacceptable.

Unless you're already playing on easy with all of the auto-battle chips and it's still impossible, I don't think you can blame the game yet.

Git gud.

The start isn't even that hard o_O

The
demo
part?

Spam R2 for the blades. There's like an insane amount of i-frames. You can literally go through them sometimes without taking damage.

The fucking saws one hit killed me again. And this time I was at Normal.

This is bullshit.

Should have plenty of healing items to get through the opening. you can just run past most enemies as well if you want.

Items don't mean shit if I get killed instantly.

i don't remember anything one hit killing me on normal especially in the opening. just make sure you're filled up before you enter the boss fight and auto heal should also be already be equipped which will use a health item if you're below a certain percent. But my advice is spam dodge for that saw fight.
 
You guys are seriously defending the start of the game?
"its a joke!", "its called hard mode for a reason", "git gud".

Really.
Especially the posters who arent even playing the game, what a joke.

You don't get a chance to git gud, cause everything is a one shot from stray bullets to the biggest hits. You shouldn't have to lower the difficulty to a mindless fucking setting, in order to not waste 30 minutes.
The only possible way to git gud with out wasting your time is to be psychic and already know every single possible move and how to dodge it, before you see it coming.

It took me 7 tries to beat the demo area on hard and i liked it because experiences like that is what i play Yoko's games for *shrugs*

I don't get it, the demo definitely had checkpoints, why the fuck did they remove them?!

The demo didn't had any.

I remember using items but nothing one shot me :S

For those who finished the story and at least route D, so basically
2B/E was suited with the purpose to kill 9S because 9S had god-tier efficiency right
?

That's pretty crazy if you think about it lol..then again so is a lot of things actually.

EDIT; It also feels a bit strange though, considering
she seemed to be assigned to combat objectives like normal until the rendezvous with 9S in the begnning. Sure it's just one of many resets, probably, and the idea was always to get them together, but still. It felt more like a secondary goal than a primary one. Also I thought the information was SS-classified. So how'd the Commander know?

EDIT #2: Ahh nvm.
Looked at it again, it was normal level of classification.

Believes Dragon Quest is a franchise managed by Sony
Demo didnt have check points.

Also you can tell who didn't suffer through Drakengard 1 or 3, especially final boss fight :X

One hit deaths are no stranger to Yoko Taro

I finally got to
meeting A2, who I expected was going to appear much earlier. Game was getting a bit draggy so I was hopping I'd finally meet her.

As I said, game was dragging a bit then I realized I decided doing most of the sidequests and looking for hidden stuff instead of actually going with the main quests lol.

It's been great so far, but I think I need a rest. I don't know how you guys can handle getting different Endings and it's only been, what, 3 days since its release?

Yea. They knew 9S would uncover the truth of the YoRHA project at some point due to his skill, so 2E was made to prevent that from happening

I mean, what do u want us to say. He said he's struggling, and he's not the only one, so just change the difficulty and be done with it so he can get it out of the way was a quick suggestion to make. Whether or not he should have to is ultimately irrelevant; he can't do anything about it other than "git gud" or make it easier on himself. I'm not defending anything, just telling him the easiest solution to proceed with the game.
 
I'm not defending the game here, but what i don't understand is that nothing one shot you on normal...

plus you're supposed to have the auto-heal chip if you didn't unequipped it

but yeah the game is harder than the demo (even though the demo didn't have any checkpoint either)

to reassure you, it's only that the intro that's like that, after that you will not lose anything when you die

The damage output of the enemies were much higher than the demo version, but I don't remember anything one-shoting me from the early area on normal....
