I finished the end of my second playthrough. This time I took my time in both final fights: Hacking A2 was pretty cool, and the final hack was loving awesome. Fighting 9S was also a good fight. I think I was way overleveled the first time, so this time I let him hack me a bit. I had no idea he could gently caress up my movement/targeting/sound/visuals/weapons/etc. It was a cool experience. Anyone have any thoughts on the DLC? I didn't do it my first time.

The DLC has some cool items and a quite sweet story, but mostly it consists of high-level arena battles so you have to have a lot of tolerance for the combat system. if you really want more Nier Automata I'd say it's worth a buy, but the game is perfectly complete without it

Is there a summary somewhere?

The DLC fights were fun, but they're also unreasonably high level so if you're going to do them and expect to do more than single digit damage, get ready to grind.

A model kit of the Flight Unit just hit the Squeenix store: https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/612682/nierautomata-plastic-model-kit-flight-unit-ho229-type-b-2b-yorha-no-2-type-b Also rerelease of the Play Arts Kai if you need a large 2B in your house.

Assuming decent articulation from 2B, and that the skirt doesn't get in the way, there's a pretty good chance you could have her driving the Batmobile. Definitely interested, but non-Bandai kits are pretty variable in quality, so I'll want to know more before buying. (Including if we're talking "the finer details look nicer if you paint" painting or "there's one color of plastic" painting)

As someone who got into Gunpla in the last few years, I am very tempted. Although I'm sure this will require painting in a way that most Gundam models don't, looks to be a pretty simple colour scheme though. Might get one.

Pretty sure charge at ship, I’ll paw through my account from the last time I preordered from there. EDIT: yeah, looks like charge at ship.

I hope Laura Bailey can still do her Kaine voice. The upgrades combat looks good, but I do think there will be something lost without Nier's clumsy swings and terrible footwork showing off that he's entirely out of his element.

"You're thinking about how much you **** NieR Automata, aren't you?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDTc2v8AKDo Made a little video essay (my first one ever) as a retrospective on NieR Automata. Mostly just talking about my experience, Yoko Taro, game design techniques, and the divisive opinions that not only I had but that I heard from many people on the internet, including the good people here, so thanks to everyone for their insight! No pressure to watch it though: I understand if you don't want to watch yet another hour of someone rambling about this game. Also, if you never played the original NieR and are waiting for the Replicant remake, maybe don't watch as I do spoil some points in that game in one of the sections, and I wouldn't want to ruin that experience for you. But anyway, if you're interested, it's something to kill some time while we all wait for more NieR in the nier future!

FutureCop posted:"You're thinking about how much you **** NieR Automata, aren't you?" Thanks for the spoiler warning....but I doubt its actually necessary. Thanks to ff7 remake and taro being taro, the "nier remake" is probably a 3rd possible timeline compared to the original gestalt and replicant and is also a direct sequel to the ending where 2B swallows the fish and dies in automata.

FutureCop posted:"You're thinking about how much you **** NieR Automata, aren't you?" Thanks, I enjoyed watching this. Your section on Ending E touched upon something I found interesting with both Nier games, which is that they use a strategy of subversion to strengthen the impact of the finale. I had never played Nier 1 so in the early hours, there was a lot in Automata that indicated it was going to be another cliche JRPG with pandering sexy characters until I realized later in the game that it was much more than that. Playing Nier 1 afterwards, I noticed it had a similar approach of presenting a pretty bland hero's quest in the early game and then turning it on its head later. That made me think about the "bad" parts of both games; things like the repetition, obtuse mechanics, and off-putting early presentation are weak points when taken at face value, but I think they might be a necessary setup for the emotional climax that the games are shooting for. I think of "art" games as games that sacrifice what you would traditionally call "good" gameplay in favor of desired aesthetics, story, or emotional impact, so in this sense I view both Niers as more in that category than any other.
