It's a quick shot but long enough that you'll probably notice it looks a little silly even your first time seeing it. I think the facial models just weren't designed to have their mouths open that wide.

I also wish the game had more hacking segments like that. They do some neat stuff with the hacking when it's not straight combat bits.

Meh, I think their rarity is what keeps them interesting. If you had an equivalently extravagant hacking segment for every boss it would become expected. Again this is part of how this game balances it's surprises against expectations, and it works pretty drat well.

Eve's nihilism makes sense when you consider that while Adam was born from a bunch of machines trying to better understand humanity, Eve was born to protect his brother. So while Adam's existential crisis would have been discovering humanity is dead, Eve's was Adam's death.

I agree that there was scope to make some more interesting boss-hacks. The factory hack was pretty cool as well, and having a few more unique hacks would make Route B feel like less of a retread.

Episode XCIX: Or Not to Be.jpg) VIDEO: CLICK HERE TO WATCH ENDING B!

Probably just a coincidence. .jpg) So once more ends the machine lifeforms experiments of birthing weird humanoid boys to try running administrative duties for a couple months. Overall, it’s probably a 7/10 on the scale of machine lifeform experiments on changing up the status quo. .jpg) 2B once more commits the fatal error of declaring things to be settled and done as soon as the immediate threat is vanquished, thus assuring an almost immediate occurrence of a new threat or doubling down on the old one. .jpg) .jpg) 9Sistotallyjackedwithmalwarefromnotrunningadblockonsketchysites.exe activated. .jpg)  Heh heh...

We’ll check later... .jpg) For now, entering 2B’s room will trigger the end of the credits as well. So be sure to loiter a bit in the hallway if you want to hear the full song. That’s because there’s one more scene bridging Route B and “Route C.” This is the part where the whole Route naming falls apart. It made sense referring to them as Routes for 2B’s initial storyline and then repeating events from 9S’s perspective. Route C is not that. At all.

I thought it was a nice touch that the credits song is in English after Route A and in Japanese after Route B. I assume it's the opposite in the Japanese version.

So I completely missed the hologram girls the entirety of route B and noticed them here for the first time to which I loudly exclaimed "uhhhhhhUHHHHHHH!?!".

I can't imagine why you'd have a bad feeling about the one honest and good character in the game. No idea.Also if the goal of those default avatars is to make us buy the right to use a non-default (which I guess it is), boy is this newest one doing a good job. <.<

Nothing in there is actually a spoiler without context. A2, the third playable character who is on the game NieR: Automata's box art cover and mentioned by name as playable if you purchase the game digitally, actually becomes relevant. That's about it. It's not like The Phantom Pain's preview in which they showed scenes from literally everything left in the game storywise since it was an unfinished mess with like 30 minutes of story poo poo left in Part 2.

Momomo posted:Doesn't the Japanese version also use male pronouns too? It makes sense to keep it the same, since Weight of the World specifically says she's only one girl. That's right. It's not like it's incorrect for women to use "boku" but it definitely implies a (young) male speaker. I'd argue that the Japanese lyrics generally sound a lot more like 9S's perspective, too. I mean, "Carrying the Weight of the World" vs. "Song of the Broken World" is a pretty blatant difference.

IIRC you can go to command during the credits and faff about but I don't remember if it gives any unique dialogue or unique scenes. It's possible I'm mistaking it with another scene but if so that's cause I spend a bunch of time walking around as 2B here both to see if I could find anything and also cause I was ecstatic I got to be myself again. e: Gameplay during credits + preview was both very hype and very ominous as well. The preview is especially neat. Absum fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Oct 16, 2017 |

So a fun thing about the Eve fight. As it turns out, if you die at the same time as getting hit by the scripted shockwave that disables your poo poo, it softlocks the game, as I found out when I played through Route B on hard (don't play on hard mode). You can't even self-destruct to get out of it. I sure had fun repeating the last hour or so of gameplay to get back up to that point!
