BOTW is the first time I've seen open world done so well in such a long time, maybe it's coming off the back of that utter shitstain that was XV('s open world) but it's not only well designed in the sense that there's virtually no deadspace, it looks gorgeous so you're constantly hitting new secret stuff and beautiful sights.

The shrines are are awesome, they're basically one room puzzles that make you feel clever, like there's a biutton that presses the reward centre in your brain and you jamming it over and over.

There is countless, countless touches in that game that continue to impress me, it's so freeform that there's a mission to get a shrine early on where you need to get cold resistance and you can do it in a few ways, I made cold resistance food, I told my friend and he just said 'Oh I set my weapons on fire' this sounds simple but it blew my mind.

To anyone who hasn't played it, this is how free it is: you're first main quest mission after the game is to kill Ganon, you can face him at the start of the damn game, it's not easy but the game won't stop you.

TL;DR - It's not got Nier's emotional attachment or Yoko's excellent storytelling, but on a pure gameplay persepctive it's just so strong for me

I don't expect any direct epilogue after E, so I'll probably agree with those who'd like to see a prequel.

Either A2's Pearl Harbor Mission or when 2B was first paired up with 9S and when she first dealt with having to kill him

Maybe it's not likely, considering that we already know how both those stories end, but I think it'd a nice bit of context for fleshing out how everyone turned out the way that they did.

Dirty secondary question
Why exactly did Angelus agree to the pact with Caim?
He proved that he wasn't some pathetic human who was just going to get the both of them killed?
He showed that he hated humans more than Angelus, and dragons are kind of racist?
Or something in between and neither?

It was never actually there. If you looked at where 9S and his flight unit are supposed to be, he isn't there either.

That's for cycling between pods, not programs, you have to go into the menu to change programs, but you can eventually have three pods that each have a different program equipped

>>171363940
The d-pad is for cycling between different pods, not powers. Once you find a second pod you can equip a different power to it though.

And I think pressing the side of the touchpad brings up a slightly quicker way to equip your pod with different programs.
>>
>>171363940
You need two PODS to cycle between them, Pods are just shells/containers for the programs.

So you're gonna have to find another pod and have each program loaded in an independent pod. You can't pause and use the menu to switch what program is on a pod but it's nowhere near as convenient.

The fun joke is, like the only reason this background detail even matters, Nier and Automata are so washed out and bloom lit because the the earth is tidal locked and the sun has beaten down on the planet constantly for thousands of years.

Granted, the actual, catastrophic, realities of a tidally locked planet are ignored by Taro, but I don't want to rant about that again.
I'm willing to pull some headcanon bullshit and pretend that Angelus' corpse ended being used for something to keep the planet from boiling over.

I think DoF is completely unneeded in a game like this, especially if you're going to be looking forward the entire time.
If you want DoF it needs to be unnoticable.

Also you may not like it, but default is default probably for a good reason in developer's intentions. I had no idea that was the default.
This sort of is nice, but I honestly don't think it's for this game, to be honest.

I am desperately trying to source this.

I am finding mixed info. It was a detail for Nier, 9S repeats this in Automata.

"Tidal locked" might be misinformation, as now I'm seeing, again unsourced, that it was actually the axis that completely tilted and that's why parts of the earth are always in daylight.
Which might be more plausible, as the planet is still rotating.


As far as metaphor, sure.
It can always be a metaphor. Replicants and Shades, now the stagnation of the YoRHa & Machine proxy war.

I just don't know, lads. I was able to go through Nier's second half like 8 times in a row if you count reading a 100% LP beforehand, but Automata is just kind of...eh.

I think it's too dependent on catching you off guard with curveballs, so when you know they're coming, there's not much left to it.

Also, the gameplay isn't so great. I'm playing on Hard since everything melts on Normal, but instead of being exciting, it's just tedious. Anything that isn't a bullshit instagib can be healed through, and bullshit instagibs are almost nonexistent once you get some +HP chips.

Feels fucking bad, man.

Wouldn't this be a really strong chip?

>>171366556
there isn't much feeling in route A in general though, its all setup for the wild ride of route c/d

as for combat I kinda see what you're saying, but try to vary your weapons more and try to make use of every possible combo, at this point i'm just trying to make every fight look as stylish as possible without taking any damage

but you could just be fatigued in general. nier came out in 2010 man, 7 years ago. you change a lot in 7 years wether you realize it or not, so comparing your experience with the first nier when you were in that time isn't fair to you in the present with nier automata.

ultimately if you arent feeling it, then give it a breather, its a taxing experience. i'm sure you're feeling the same void as most of us in this thread after beating it, in that case probably any game you play won't feel as good to play

it could hardly be called a twist seeing how heavily its implied even from the start. in fact, seeing how they went about it, they full on expect that (if you played the first nier) to know why the bots are acting the way they are. not like specifically, but have a general idea.

The more I think about the Tower sequence in hindsight, the more heart wrenching the whole thing really even before the end.

thats the whole reason why i love it, it comes from out of nowhere and elevates the scene. its also a good contrast to adams voice, calm and even.
in the context of the game the track does its job well of inducing a sense of, oh shit this fight is the real deal.
i can see like, if you're just listening to the soundtrack without the game, having that song come on is jarring. but it fits so well in the game imo, and as a stand alone track it is pretty hype

>>171369342
Yeah, that part was just really weird
It wasnt even a particular hard encounter, there was hardly even a chance of being killed, especially if 9S had reached that far

First of all, I thought the 'shapes' the machines took inside them were gestalt. Not sure if this is true.

Also, there is a part where you have a conversation about what the currency stands for (there is a "g" at the end of the currency), and I thought this was a reference for the currency standing for gestalt. The guy says what it stands for is a secret. Any other theories?

EMP fucking me up for the first time, DePo redemption, double tower run with character switch, 'Beauty in this world' and bropod followed by fucking Marketing Division. It's my personal Sniper Wolf snowfield scene tier. almost 20 years and still remembering. Same thing will be with this game

On the subject of Adam and Eve, I really don't know how I feel about them. I've seen some people saying they are a disappointment. I can see why they would say that but I dont really feel disappointed. Maybe people were expecting them to be like Jetstream Sam or Senator Armstrong.
At the same time, I'm just a little confused on how I'm meant to feel about them. I kept expecting to see them again during the Tower sequence, and they did in a sense but not at all like I thought. I just understand that they are the culmination of the machine's attempt to replicate human beings.

So I just started playing, gathering intel mission, did the weapons guy quest, talked to the yoko taro wannabe, picked up the other shop quest and I've killed everything in both the green area and the desert and still haven't gotten a broken key to drop. Do I just have to like wait for shit to respawn and farm those areas until it does?

I assume I need to do this shop quest right? Because the "gathering intel" mission gives me no objective right now and I've explored every area I can other then that place across the bridge that had the level 20 giant robot which nearly killed me in one hit

after route A i felt they were very underutilized. but after route B and you got those cutscenes with them, it pretty much covered everything that needed to be covered.
both humanoid creations from the machines, but one has an insane desire to figure out what being human is, while the other is ironically more human in his mannerisms and desires.

as characters I like them a lot. I feel they could have played a bigger role, but if they did it may have infringed on the bigger arc. I'm content with how they turned out, but like with a2, i can definitely understand wanting to see more of them

>>
>>171369713
You haven't been paying attention, have you?

1) Pod gained self awareness and the being able to move around and think for themselves equates to them being alive.

2) To Emil, he wasn't around when ???? killed the shadowlord nor could he have known the repercussions of killing him.

3) Something related to point 1, she realized that simply existing as a hivemind is dull and realized that having different ideas and opposing views are beautiful.

Guys I need help with an emergency.
The game won't let me self-destruct. It keeps saying "command was not executed correctly". I'm fairly sure you self-destruct by pressing L3 and R3 at the same time, right? So what the fuck?
>>
>>171375442
Seems like you're asking a question you already know the answer to.

if you didn't realize it yet, the top/first weapon slot in the loadout is light attack and the bottom/second is heavy. So, during the tutorial, Weapon set 1 is Virtuous Contract (the small sword) is in the light slot while Virtuous Treaty (the large sword) is in the heavy slot. Weapon set 2 is the opposite -- Treaty in the light slot and Contract in the heavy.

Okay, playing as 9S was cute for about 1 hour when I was alone, now they expect me to replay the game I JUST played, except from the perspective of an inferior character? Having 2B follow me instead of the other way around is just stupid. Am I going to have to redo the main quest and side quests? What makes this unique? This is dumb. Just let me play as A2 already.

As far as I know there's endings A, B, U, Y, all kinds of shit. I like for games to have replay value but if I go for these endings, I'll never be ale to play Automata again because I'll know it like the back of my hand.
>>
Is there any way to remove 9S from the party? I always have him set to passive anyway so there's no point in having him around

He's a distraction in combat

Playing as 9S is the game's gameplay lowpoint.

There's some large differences between route a and b, including new scenes/side quests, and there's a lot of important new story content. I'd recommend just going through it quickly though. You know the game already, so it shouldn't take long.

>>171378348
Most of the side quests are shared between characters. The first few in the resistance camp are story quests.

ABCDE endings are part of the main plot and rest of the endings are short joke endings. Mostly jokes.

The best part of the game is when 9S goes missing and I'm able to free roam as 2B alone.

I hope that comes back at some point. A full playthrough alone as 2B. That would help fix the game for me.

DSMfix*.

mouse tracking working at increments of 45 degrees during flying segments

its total garbage, somebody needs to come and revamp it.

needs a dsfix because it has major resolution issues and fullscreen issues.

Just a report for people looking at the PC version.

2600k @ 4.6 + 970 slightly OC, 16GB ram.

Its been pretty good for me (no crashes or white screens). @1920x1200 60 most of the time and can dip to 55 at points. GPU usage is usually in the 90s and at points hits 100% (where it starts to drop a few frames). I don't see much CPU usage so it seems this game is far more GPU dependent so if you want better than PS4 pro visuals at 60 fps and you have anything lower than a 970 you might want to avoid this release unless there are driver improvements in the future.

The in game AA solution is pretty expensive so you might be better off with post process AA if you are hunting for frames. I would also recommend using the driver for adaptive v-sync instead of the in game.

So instead of making the world bigger with more to do the first time around, they make you replay the same game with minor changes.

As I understand, this is Taro's shtick. It was fun for a while but I'm never buying another Taro game. I got over 300 hours from The Witcher 3 over 2 months and 2 playthroughs. This is just sad, 27 hours for one playthrough and now I'm going to be forced to retread the same ground

Not sure, as is always with PCs, everyone's config is different so there is always going to be some variability even with like hardware. I would say use something like MSI afterburner and display gpu/cpu usage, frame times and temps to see if your card is being maxed out if you aren't already.

The one where you go in the giant hole unlocks fast travel. The one where you go in a PIPE located around the same hole fails your side quests, and comes much later. When they mention a carrier and missiles, that's when you might want to finish up your side quests.

Note that you're kinda supposed to "fail" some of them and pick them up later when you have the level and tools to do them without bashing your head into a wall.

Looking at few shit, It seems there is also some ability to "Infect People" but I really don't know what's that about since I haven't progressed much far in game.

Though, it seems like dark souls when you die, you sometime leave bloodstains or in this game corpses. So you can interact with people corpses which would heal you and give you slight buffs randomly, or you can revive those corpses and they will fight with you for some time.
>>
>>171381695
when players die, they leave their corpse

other players can see these corpses ala Dark Souls messages, but in this game you can "pray" for them which gives them a free health recovery and then you can either get a buff based on their equipped chips or you can revive the corpse to make it fight for you

Hey guys, I've finished endings ABCDE and a couple of the others. There's something I've been wondering though,what does A2 mean with 2B having to kill 9S over and over?
I've watched and read around and I understand that 9S was already partnered with 2B for a long time and she had to kill him everytime he got infected/discovered something about YorHa? Is this right?
This adds a whole new level of suffering to the whole story and the final of Route A

on one of them endings and in a sekkkkrit report you can scavenge its revealed 2Butt is secretly 2E sent to keep track of 9S, the one more likely to discover that yorha is a facade, and kill him when he flips.

allegedly A2 knew of this as well, but implicitly because she knew that yorha was lying to the androids and its agents

Is Emil's questline broken? I'm seriously starting to think it's bugged.

I tried doing it on my first playthrough, and the final Lunar Tear I had to grab was at the flooded coast. It didn't show up until after the boss fight, and every time I went to the damn flower, the prompt to interact with it wouldn't show up. So I thought maybe I fucked up somehow and waited until my second file.

Fast forward to now, I'm on my second file, did the order in reverse. Grabbed the amusement park flower, then the desert, then the flooded coast (the mechs are sitting there waiting for me but I haven't done the mission yet). So I go to the fucking shopping mall for the final one, and I can't interact with the goddamn flower.

What gives?
>>
>>171382614
every ending except for ABCDE is a joke one that you get for making a wrong turn or dying.

If you die during the tutorial you get ending W where it just comes up "broken [w]ings" and a short piece of text saying you died in the opening mission so machines took over the world. thats what most of the endings are. so it means either he died somewhere or the game said something like "hey pascals village is on fire go help him" and he literally walked the opposite way.

9S was never programmed on how to use weapons. He started to wield them after discovering 2B's true function shortly before the game started, but I guess that ability got carried over despite the memory wipe.

>>171382919
Endings A B C D E are story endings. You get those playing the story through normally.

Everything else is a joke ending specifically there just for a laugh. It's not a branching story where halfway through route A a dialogue choice will change your path and give you the True End or anything like that.

So let me get this ending thing straight (pcgays don't read this I'm not spoilering the whole thing):

2B and all the other androids that were corrupted by the machines were actually having their consciousness uploaded to the ark, because at some point, the sentient network administrator little girl hologram thing decided that destroying what was left of humanity was pointless.
So it went around gathering up all machine and android intelligence to gather them into the ark, which would be shot into space in the hopes that they could all be put into new bodies on some faraway planet and start over without all this war shit.

Adam and Eve are complete red herrings and just natural products of machine evolution who were uploaded to the ark after they died or something like that, they really didn't know shit about what was happening.
In fact they probably nearly fucked everything up by trying to destroy everything, or maybe they were just unknowingly doing the network's will or something I dunno.

And ending E has the pods restoring backups of the main three androids' memories to their bodies in an attempt to struggle against fate.

I'm sure there are great themes and that the game has tons of powerful scenes, but those things are the actual content of the game, those are the things that someone should search in this kind of game to decide if it's shallow nor not.
Searching for some cold 100% perfect rationality in this kind of game just means that that guy knocked at the wrong door.

D is a very [D]esilusional ending. theres no way the gun pointed at the moon would do that.

the AI that A2 faced was simply insane and killed itself. theres nothing but spiritual handwaving saying that humanity and their consiousness would be shot at another planet. a bullet surely is not the correct way to colonize something and their gestalts floating forever on a bullet is a poor way to anything at all.

But in D if you choose to stay, 9S will look up at the ark and say "so that's where you were, 2B." Adding in how he kept seeing/hearing flashes of 2B every time he reached the top of a resource collector and that 2B bodies attacked him in the tower, I have to assume her data is in the ark.

I think that's what was happening when his memories were getting deleted. The machine network was getting into his head to gather more information on her, maybe him as well.

Given how much the game talks about the importance of struggle, even in a twisted way with Adam saying fighting is the essence of humanity, I think destroying YoRHa makes sense.

If the machines believe struggle is key to humanity, then forcing the androids to struggle beyond the point of despair is necessary to ensure that they're really sentient. 9S couldn't have gone full PTSD if he weren't sentient. 2B couldn't fall in love if she weren't sentient.
It makes me think it's like a recreation of the replicant program, except this time, creating sentient artificial humans is intentional.

Humanity is dead and the gestalts are nothing but genetic data, so the androids are the replacement for humans, and this time they won't die to magic diseases.

Create AI, force them to struggle to the breaking point, then collect their data and send it into space to start over.

i dont think humanity would see androids or machines as their replacements. they did recognized that androids are sentient at some point, but yorha are repurposed machine cores because it would be inhumane to make sentient beings to die.

the real purpose of yorha was to end sometime before the cannon fired all human souls into space/the moon. they were biding their time because something was cooking the red virus that ended yorha thru the human designed backdoor and bezerked the machines trhu their network.

if the virus did not affected regular androids then you are correct, yorha was simply keeping status quo until a virus could wipe all machine cores, leaving only the android cores, but this ending would means 2B, 9S and A2 survived as flukes, while pascal's village and other peaceful machines would just die.

You've latched onto absolutely nothing. We've been over this. 9S has any number of reasons he could have learned to fight in melee during the game, or when they wiped his mind they specifically kept the melee abilities. One iteration of 9S is not going to be the exact same as the next. Given the whole point of 9S's character is that he starts off completely innocent and naive about everything only to learn the truth and have to be killed by 2B every single time, you're a fucking idiot for thinking he knows jack shit before the start of the game.

If someone took a snapshot of the gamecase with a note in the margin saying "BUY ME!" And posted it to facebook using the company or official channels whatever company they work for has to estimate how much money that theoretically cost them. If they already used X moneys alloted to advertisement up and that adver cost .000002 Theoretical Moneys then that part of the project is now over budget which could he a legal issue even if they can point to the literal pile of Moneys not being used elsewhere.

Its kind of bullshit but its how major companies become major companies and stay afloat.

That being said Taro could use his own phone, take a snapshot of the gamecase with "BUY ME!", and post it on his own private social media account/s and it MIGHT be legal assuming the company isn't a stickler for that to but it being his own personal account/s it probably won't be seen by many.

Androids don't have genitalia or nips.

They MIGHT have something like an anus as they can eat food even if it does jack shit for them and its gotta go somewhere.

>online is required for ending E
Unless someone has a video out showing it is humanly feasible solo I would put the cutoff for any% at ending C/D either/or, since in terms of gameplay they're 99% the same.

Sorry, what headcanon is that, again? Because you've based your arguments on conjecture about what 9S may or may not know before the game starts without a single shred of hard evidence to support that he knows anything. You don't have a single way that 9S could know what 2B is there for because he only finds that out when he reaches the truth or comes close to it. And he's literally the furthest he could be from the truth at the start of the game.
