Vanquish is good everywhere. :blastu:

e: New NieR combat looks interesting. I think the combat in the first game being unengaging but serviceable fit the narrative very well, but I don't think better combat will be a worse fit for the game either.

Still sad about no Papa Nier, though. :(

Vanquish on pc is like godmode cause you can aim so well with mouse

grieving for Gandalf posted:

I didn't play the first NieR but I've seen gameplay for our version, Gestalt, over the years and that remake footage looks so much more like a modern game that I wasn't even reminded what Gestalt's gameplay looked like

Gestalts overworld gameplay was simplistic 3d zelda style action combat but with a light/heavy 2 button setup+magic. There was probably too much of it and against too few enemy types cause it gets a ton of hate when imo its perfectly serviceable
Outside of the overworld, the combat becomes very different in ways i wont mention because nier's genre shifting and perspective changes are worth seeing blind but i think everyone at least knows to expect a lot of bullet hell bosses

Yes. It had some bugs at launch, but I've replayed it through recently and they've all been fixed as far as I can tell.

The real bad thing about the original Nier is that about 90% of the sidequests are dumb tedious bullshit that's not worth your time and that's not super obvious if you don't already know.

I was real glad Automata just let me buy all the trophies so I could just look the weapon stories up online because no way was I grinding for the .00000000000001% chance a loving screw needed to upgrade your pod might appear in a chest after climbing 5 floors of a building but only if you reload the chapter.

Based on his interviews and GDC talk, presumably he's working on getting drunk during work hours and hiding from his employers.

"For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is Ted Faro? This is Ted Faro speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are perishing-you who dread knowledge-I am the man who will now tell you." The chief engineer was the only one able to move; he ran to a television set and struggled frantically with its dials. But the screen remained empty; the speaker had not chosen to be seen. Only his voice filled the airways of the country-of the world, thought the chief engineer-sounding as if he were speaking here, in this room, not to a group, but to one man; it was not the tone of addressing a meeting, but the tone of addressing a mind.

"You have heard it said that this is an age of moral crisis. You have said it yourself, half in fear, half in hope that the words had no meaning. You have cried that man's sins are destroying the world and you have cursed human nature for its unwillingness to practice the virtues you demanded. Since virtue, to you, consists of sacrifice, you have demanded more sacrifices at every successive disaster. In the name of a return to morality, you have sacrificed all those evils which you held as the cause of your plight. You have sacrificed justice to mercy. You have sacrificed independence to unity. You have sacrificed reason to faith. You have sacrificed wealth to need. You have sacrificed self-esteem to self-denial. You have sacrificed happiness to duty.

He most likely had one of his ZD technicians develop it in secret, unbeknownst to the Alphas.

He bankrolled the whole project, he could have gotten any low-level engineer to sneak it in.

I'm more curious how he rigged the core meeting room with a "kill everyone in it" button
