Nier: Automata

People will stop saying that once the third act hits. It's a David Cage game.
I don't like that I know I'm going to hateplay that, but I will.

I generally enjoyed heavy rain but yeeeeeeeeeah,
Nier automata spoilers.
Also that fucking twist with the detective is so ham-fistedly done now seeing how nier re-contextualise its own twist without having to actually lie to you about parts that you've played.

I still kinda want to check out that game of his with Juno in it but I've heard enough bad things that I stayed away.

What should I play next: Darkest Dungeon, Endless Space, or Battlefleet Gothic: Armada?

Just listened to some of the voice work in other languages in BotW. Man NOA really screwed the pooch on this one.
Edit: I'm probably biased to the languages, but I love Italian and German voices in particular. Japanese was mostly good until Zelda.

It's SO BAD. Impa sounds like a 30 year old doing an old person's voice and Zelda's is atrocious.
Darkest Dungeon

Hack the planet.
Also pro-tip (kinda spoilery but I've phrased it in a way that shouldn't reveal too much, but to be safe maybe don't check it)
Hack all of the final fight.

I remember hearing the comparisons at release and German was the best.

Eh, I'd take Cage over Drakengard 3. And while I did enjoy the original Nier, it had its share of storytelling issues as well.
I found a bit like stumbling over this weird made for TV science fiction movie I'd never heard of - a fairly pleasant surprise, but then I like this sort of thing. I think my biggest issue was that it felt like with the constant time jumps it was building toward "something" for hours and hours without delivering... and it just made me annoyed more than being an effective storytelling tool. I wonder if the linear version in the PS4 port works better.

Drakengard 3 was kinda bad, but it was also kinda hilarious in a way that it's meant to be?

I mean that part to me is more about
why the androids had to fake them going to the moon in the first place.
Was that more than just
"Oh we'll say the humans are on the moon so the androids aren't wondering why they never meet any humans"? If this is a beyond Route C spoiler please don't fill me in

That the game was nonlinear for no fucking reason is goddamn baffling. It's not like experiencing it out of order gave it better pacing because some sequences are way too short and others too long.
While I don't think it's super spoilery and more a part of an overall theme, come back once you're done proper.
It would be funnier if he dabbed while holding the guns.

Is he going to put a dabbing themed character in the next KI
No, he'll put one in Dabkick.

What was the consensus on the Beastcast 109? Yeah, it got off rails, but that in-play racketball thing made me laugh harder than anything else out of Dan's mouth since the cooking eggs and shoebox hotdog fiascos.
Overcooked
I loved it. This week's episode was really great too though.

Jackbox Party Pack 3 for sure.
Jackbox stuff, but if they're super hardcore gamers you may want to try stuff like Towerfall, Crawl, Nidhogg, Sportsfriends.

Out of those I'd say Towerfall is my favorite. Was about to suggest it.

Yep they've been on a roll recently. When they're at their best it's just as good as classic Bombcast used to be.

In play racquetball made me regret listening to it on public transport.
People gave me weird looks.
Weirder than usual anyway.
Nidhogg tourney
Interesting autocorrect error.

It was actually worse before I manually corrected it.
It was like "Petite have be"

I beat Persona 5 and listened to the spoilercast. I'm in total agreement with their thoughts except for Alex's dislike of (story spoilers)
. That's a contender for best moment/sequence of the year for me. Yeah, it's convoluted, but the way it plays out was exciting as hell.
