They should, because it's the low point!
But I didn't because I'm a completionist (within reason). I just hated it. Total pace-killer, extremely repetitive and simplistic, and on top of that 9S' melee moveset sucks too.

2D shooters are fun and clearly a passion for Taro Yoko (even though the first game had more bullet hell elements in the actual 3D fights) and I enjoy the simple joy and feedback of dodging bullets and shooting in various patterns while picking the right target, and like anything else in a Nier game, it ends up developing in great and mindblowing ways beyond the seemingly simple patterns.

Yeah some of the ways he utilises hackerspace to tell a story is pretty great.

That stuff is good but the regular hacking to damage enemies I found very tedious.
Just caught up on Murder Island and holy shit that moment where Dan saves Jeff is awesome
I don't think there's anything mindblowing, and "seemingly" simple patterns are, imo, actually just simple patterns. It's also weirdly punishing with the 3-hit system that doesn't scale with difficulty, unlike the normal shmup bits which were tedious but at least flashy and easy. I'm not great at the bullet hell parts so in addition to being tedious they also frustrated me in certain spots towards the end of the game where it's forced and gets hard (imo).

Which is why I recommend getting a spear and just melee your way through if you don't want to hack too much. Most times you can kill things faster really.
I found a really nice rhythm by the end where I attack to focus down an enemy and then hack if I have to control the space a bit.

I did melee as much as possible but there's a lot of forced hacking, especially later on. I really hated it.

Ah well, if you disliked it you disliked it but as Emcee said, it's a fun 2D shooter that adds variation to the gameplay that gets expanded into some amazing places.
Really? I've never heard of a swede named Drew.

I liked the hacking in Nier, mostly because I was really good at it. So good at it that combat usually became easier to handle by just hacking everything and making it blow up

It's an easy way to beat the secret bosses at a low level.
By being mostly crazy, Nintendo fans managed to successfully hide the fact that the Wii U had a bunch of really amazing games.
This is going to sound odd, but I got a Max Landis vibe from him.

Drew traveling with only 2 pairs of socks is real daredevilish.

The best thing about Drew's latest video is all the youtube comments chiding him for not bringing condoms.

Digital day one editions are such a dumb concept.

I'm in the same boat. My phone battery is awful now so I am ready to upgrade whenever Google puts out a new phone. If not for the battery, I'd be more than happy to keep the 6P for a while longer since it's been excellent otherwise.
Not as dumb as a surplus of digital day one editions put on clearance later. That's so dumb it might be performance art.
Well the 6p came out in late September, so your 2 year upgrade cycle still has 5 months left.
Yeah, that's been going around.

Freaking FFT0. They INSISTED that Episode Duscae would only be available at launch. Would have waited for a price drop otherwise. Instead ED at launch was a trainwreck and those who bought the game later got to play the patched version.
Eh, at least I really liked Type-0. Might actually replay it during the summer drought.

Fuck I have been published and met Johnny V in person through work and this is my proudest moment: my email and photos on Giant Bomb. I can die happy now.
