Wait, did someone specifically set music for the whole process by leaving a radio turned on in the that bit of factory, to see how long would it take for stubby responsible to develop emotions? And then put stubby through that again and again, patching emotions off each time?

Yoko Taro once said in an interview that the reason his games have multiple endings is to save development time by reusing resources. I suppose it was only a matter of time before he managed to re-use the advertising as well.

Drakengard's multiple endings seems to be a counter point in reusing assets. Like every new ending in that game was accompanied by expensive fmvs and a whole new type of hell unique to the next.

I saw this video in a YouTube playthrough accompanied by just the tail end of the DLC (the machine walking up to the computer). So I just kind of assumed that the DLC preceding it was a lot higher quality production and that the video was specifically made for it and not available elsewhere. I thought it was one of the coolest things in the game. So even after seeing the DLC in its rather underwhelming entirety here, I still had this idea that you could only see the video by playing the DLC and jumping through a lot of hoops doing all the arena battles and all the sections playing as a machine. Which would have been pretty cool if very financially impractical.

I vaguely remember an offhand comment by an android in an earlier update about a big fight that ended in both sides being wiped out that was pretty clearly a reference to Plato (just a weapon story at the time), but I can't remember which one it was. If I find it, I'll edit it in later.

Their budget was YT drinking with the Square Enix Execs then getting them to sign checks while drunk. Which was strange for him, as usually he has to get them drunk before they let him make a game period.

"Deserving of Life" is also a psychological test! Here's how it goes. I loved the video, and thought it was gorgeously done, but altogether very sad, so I'm probably the second answer tinged with the fourth. Whether the music's to your taste or not, I think it's really special that they did a collaboration like this. Every angle this game and story can be approached from shows just so much soul.

He got better than a costume. 9S was briefly possessed by the spirit of Caim as evidenced by some of the murder faces he made when he was going crazy. Also I stumbled on the Stellaris thing a little while ago and it did give me a good chuckle.

Also, 9S's VA mentioned playing Drakengard when he was a kid, which drew a lot of "That's really not a kid's game." He also was very happy with how 9S developed because he got to play one of the most Yoko Taro characters.

ultrafilter posted:Uh.... It's clear that there's a bit lost in translation, which explains why the passages are written in rather awkward, stilted-sounding English, so some connotations may have been lost. Also, while the sixth response is definitely the kind of thought that isn't exactly appropriate to discuss in public, it's a pretty well-established (within the field of psychology) kind of reaction some people have to the destruction or marring of beautiful things. Human minds are complex, hosed-up things, and while one can control how they express and deal with their gut reactions to stuff, there's not much one can do to control what those reactions are. So, yeah, if someone honestly feels that #6 best represents their reaction to the video, there's nothing to be ashamed of, as long as they're not creeps about it IRL. As for me, since "tests" like this are grossly oversimplified in that nobody ever fits just one of these descriptions*, I'd rank my feelings on video (from most to least) as 7-2-4-3-8-5-6-1. *This (along with many other flaws due to the test being designed by literal amateurs with zero actual expertise or credentials who defined things completely arbitrarily) is why if you take multiple Myers-Briggs tests with different questions, you'll often end up with significantly different results between each. Even the same test, if taken just a few days or weeks apart, can produce different results based on how one is feeling at that moment.

-Me 7. “I thought of the dolls were a poor thing” - Type of Idealist and Sociable who actively involved in society. You have a high communication skills, and you feel that your thoughts is in common with other people. For that reason you actively express your emotions. Also, since your way of thinking is common, it is easy to gain empathy. But on the other hand, people who have uncommon feelings and ideas with too strong individuality may feel uncomfortable and look at you with prejudice eyes.

I don't think the bottom-line Myers-Briggs result has terribly much meaning (because let's face it, any well-rounded person is realistically going to be at least somewhat straddling the line on multiple pairs). But there is something to be said for acknowledging that given the choice you'd, say, lean towards a logical approach or lean towards an emotional approach, and knowing whether that's a pronounced preference or only a mild one. The issue I have with it is not so much that there's nothing useful to be gained in self-awareness (because I do think there are nuggets of usefulness there) but that, as previously mentioned in this topic, people often over attribute the importance, particularly of the singular specific 1/16 "final result".

Episode CLI: My Immersion... Music: Vague Hope - Spring Rain .jpg) OK. Maybe we’re not quite done with the DLC. Perhaps there is a lingering 5% that only unlocks after we’ve completed Plato’s story. As soon as we load the game back up, we’re dumped at the nearest Access Point and our android of choice receives an email. We’ll we’re right here, so let’s take a look. .jpg) So in case you were wondering, it was Plato 1728 sending all of those messages leading us to the DLC colosseums and here. He’s still hooked up to some machine somewhere, unable to do anything because he’s mad dangerous if he ever got out and was pissed again. Bummer. .jpg) .jpg) Our reward for completing Plato’s sidequest is this icon which can... somehow... be loaded into the jukebox back at the Resistance Camp to listen to all of the “unique” tracks from the DLC. Vague Hope (Spring Rain) the only actual new track is on the next page. That’s neat, I guess. Kinda wish I knew this was here before I manually mixed the samplings of those myself to get the right results... But hindsight and all that... .jpg) .jpg) We have one final order of business before we are actually done with the DLC. This requires a return visit to the Gambler’s Colosseum back in the Flooded City. Music: Gambling Colosseum .jpg) Remember that weird woman that appeared at the end of this segment, asking if we had an appoint with “You-Know-Who” before we departed? We can now talk to her. .jpg) She’ll give us the same dialogue and the conversation ends. Buuuut... now that we’ve sorted out Plato’s business, we can now ask her multiple times and new dialogue may occur. Let’s try that... .jpg)  <I wanna fight you-know-who.> I’m sorry. I’m not authorized to make that decision. ...... Okay. I’m going to ask again, because I’m nice: IS there something I can help you with? <I wanna fight you-know-who.> Alright, if you insist. But I have to warn you: what you’re about to see may end up destroying your sense of immersion. Are you okay with that? <Immersion schmimmersion.> Are you REALLY super duper sure you want to do this? This is your last chance to back out! <Immersion schmimmersion!> Very well then. Follow me..jpg) Music: Dark Colossus KAIJU (Intro) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg)  <floats to the ground> The name is Yosuke Matsuda. Let’s see what you’re made of, shall we?DLC Music: Birth of a Wish (CEO) (You should listen to this!) .jpg) Behold the final boss of the NieR: Automata DLC – the CEO of Square-Enix. All he does is walk menacingly towards us at first. But that doesn’t persist. .jpg) .jpg) But that doesn’t persist. Soon he unleashes a massive volley of energy filled versions of his head. .jpg) Finally, after all these LPs... I finally get to kill you the leadership of Square-Enix. Sure maybe you’re not the one that was at the helm for most of the troubles. I’ll hunt down that fucker Yoichi Wada another day. But you’ll do for now! DIE! .jpg) .jpg) Yosuke Matsuda here is actually a reskin of Adam’s final fight just without all the crazy particle effects and teleportation but with 10x more projectile spamming. All the shields and Tekken rear end looking combos Adam had is also the property of the CEO. .jpg) .jpg) However, since we’ve got 14 Levels on this Level 85 CEO, it’s WAY easier to launch him after dodging an attack and melee countering. Air juggling Square-Enix’s CEO feels pretty good. Gotta say. Maybe this DLC was worth it. A second season pass for Final Fantasy XV? Are you for real, rear end in a top hat?! .jpg) That said, once he drops below 66% HP, the battle grinds to a halt as a new challenger enters the ring... .jpg)  Mind if I join in?.jpg) <floats to the ground> Kenichi Sato!DLC Music: Birth of a Wish (CEO Duet) (You should listen to this!) .jpg) Let’s get it on!.jpg)  Kenichi Sato opens with immediately trying to Shoryuken 2B because of course he would. He can also distract you by having Kamiya block you on Twitter. Sato is way more of a proactive melee guy that will attempt to rush down 2B which Square-Enix’s CEO provides .jpg) The thing is, we only need to take one of these two CEOs. And we’ve already gotten Square-Enix’s CEO down to two-thirds health. On top of that, PlatinumGames hasn’t really wronged me to any notable extent. .jpg) Now Square-Enix on the other hand... .jpg) .jpg) ...we’ve got some goddamn beef. This here Papa Nier pipe and CEO Yosuke Matsuda’s head quickly got well acquainted. It doesn’t go well for him. .jpg) Once one the CEOs are defeated, the two teleport and begin hovering in the center of the room. They have some words for our android. In an increasingly sinister robotic voice filter, to boot... .jpg) Allow us to give you a parting gift before we leave though. Hope you like it!.jpg) .jpg) The CEOs’ parting gift is an explosion of energy resulting in an intense rain of homing CEO Head energy bullets. Despite 2B being Level 99 and these foes being Level 85, these energy shots still hurt surprisingly bad. Like a quarter of 2B’s HP bad. .jpg) .jpg) Our only recourse here is to just run and hope we don’t get hit. Thankfully, we’ve got the anti-chain damage (cannot get stunlocked) plug-in chip installed or else taking a glowing middle aged Japanese man’s head to the face would almost certainly result in a quick death. .jpg) .jpg) After a 30 second trial of avoiding headbutts from disembodied Japanese businessmen heads, the CEO of Square-Enix and PlatinumGames burst with energy and explode. I’d expect no different end from two men crazy enough to greenlight a sequel to NIER. Music: Gambling Colosseum .jpg) It has been greatly entertaining to watch you fight at peak performance. Here’s a little gift for you as token of our appreciation. .jpg) And here are the final rewards for the DLC of NieR: Automata. The Record: CEO is just a CD that can be used in the Resistance Camp jukebox to listen to the Birth of a Wish (CEO) song. Both versions are available for our listening pleasure. Music: Vague Hope - Spring Rain .jpg) .jpg) Next we have the CEO Bullets. Much like the Emil Bullets from earlier, it transforms the omnipresent enemy energy orbs into the heads of Yosuke Matsuda. The description claims Kenichi Sato heads should also be present, but I tried against a few different enemies and only got the Square-Enix CEO energy heads. Weird sentence to type, that. .jpg) .jpg) Next up we have a big foam novelty head of Yosuke Matsuda, if that’s your kinda thing. He wears that YoRHa uniform well. Very shapely. .jpg) .jpg) Finally, we have a matching Kenichi Sato mask to make 9S very uncomfortable while wearing. I suppose it’s possible to go load up a chapter with 9S and have him wear one head while 2B wears another to act out an incredibly specific fetish I’m sure one weird out there must possess. .jpg) But for now, our business with the 3C3C1D119440927 DLC has truly and finally concluded. Tune in next time for the last of the sidequests. As soon as I get this last loving rear end in a top hat robot in the desert to bloody spawn.
