fuck me this game has my mind asking so many questions I love it. I truly have no predictions anymore. I've forgotten this is nier 2 and it's a new Yolo Taro game, a damn good feeling.

Here's the tune for

I hope the soundtrack includes great mixes between the various arrangements for each of the themes. Love how different this track sounds from the rest of the series, sounds like something in Okabe's Tekken and arcade game soundtracks, honestly.

Yeah, the timing of the song kicking in is glorious.

 

[careksims]

Whoo! Just got the BBE in the mail. That steel book is glorious! I love the book too! Just waiting for the patch to download. Hurry up! XD

Is it intended for me to spam the gun drone at all times? I've just been holding R1 and spamming L2 during every fight nonstop and sometimes it feels awkward but it definitely gets the job done.

 

[mooncakes]

does this game have the equivalent mode to Bayonetta's lost chapter? It a mode where you can beat different enemies every level if you keep progressing.

 

[More_Badass]

Doing the early Supply Trader/Weapon Dealer quests. When I went to the marked areas, I didnt receive all the items needed to complete the quests (ie 2 complex gadgets, needed 4). Did I miss something/doing something wrong?

 

[Philippo]

Anybody tried remote play yet?
How are the controls?

Spoiler

Kind of. After the end of Route C you unlock a debug mode that allows you to spawn enemies and fuss with config options. It's essentially an endless combat room.

 

[Hikami]

err... died to the first boss and now I need to restart from the beginning completely?

yeah.. not very fun

Just happened to me. Looks like you can skip enemies though unless the doors get locked. That should make the trip back easier. Thought you had to fight everything.

Also didn't know you could press down on d-pad for items. I think I got it this time.

It is more efficient to have Pod-Fire held down all the time, but it is certainly not a necessity. In turn, you'll get to use more sword combos.

I'll be changing that pod-fire button into a toggle so I don't have to hold it down, on PC.

I saw an auto-fire perk for sale at the beginning, but it said for easy mode only.

I did this a lot in the early game but stopped after a while.

 

[robotzombie]

Is there a consensus on difficulties? What should be chosen for what type of playerstuff?

I'm generally pretty good with character action games, but I don't want a punishing grind based on the rpg systems

 

[Boogins]

So what does this day 1 patch do? I would like to start playing and have like an hour left on this download.

 

[Shock32]

Took me a few tries to get out of the demo section on Hard. Though a couple of them were for the joke endings.

Do the shortcuts stay open if you die? Cause that would help.

 

[LowRoller]

I would also like to know which difficulty to pick

 

[Weiss]

I'm in the desert now and

Spoiler

oh fuck this is Facade isn't it aaaaaagggghhhh

Also is it just me or are the access points

Spoiler

vending machines?

 

[Exentryk]

Yeah, auto-fire chip is on easy only. You can map fire on a different button (like say L2) so it becomes a little easier to hold while pressing other buttons.

 

[K.Sabot]

Holding the fire button down was so unsatisfying, I stopped about 20% into the game and tried to melee as much as possible.

I think I made the correct decision, probably wouldn't have been fun if I just ran away and held down R1 to kill everything.

 

[anddo0]

Chest that are marked "cannot be opened"?

 

[AlexFlame116]

My Black Box Edition arrived today!!! One day earlier than I expected. Only thing is that the front corner was damaged and wrinkled and it's really bothering the heck out of me.

Don't know if contacting the Square Enix Store will help in any way...

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Chest that are marked "cannot be opened"?

Come back in another route.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Well got this in although I won't touch it till after the PC release since I only want to take a peek at the artbook and OST after I've beaten the game.

I've been looking forward to this for a long time! I can wait another week for the PC version since I resisted the JP release. lol

 

[Jiraiza]

No they don't since if you die, you have to start over.

 

[MultiJhonny]

So I feel like I am rushing. I am 3 hours in and

Spoiler

just got to the amusement park

is that about right? Cuz I have been trying to explore a lot and stuff too

 

[The Last Wizard]

I've got my copy in my system and wanna play so bad but I need to catch up on Spanish and study for the mid term, yet I'm on gaf procrastinating😫

 

[Shock32]

No they don't since if you die, you have to start over.

Dang, OK thanks. Back at it then.

 

[More_Badass]

Anyone? There doesn't seem to be anything else to collect in the quest areas, enemies dont respawn either

It's totally fine, the game gives you more opportunities to explore than you'd expect -- even post the point of no return(s).

 

[Jiraiza]

Look for the them on the ground. They should be literred in the approximate area.

Yes,

I think one of the Resistance NPCs mentions early on that they're disguised as vending machines.

 

[Smo21]

So should I play this on hard? That was my preference in the demo

Enemies hit a little harder than the Hard demo. If that works for you, then go for it.

I started on hard. I died 3 times in the demo section and say screw it. If there wasn't the risk of losing 30 minutes of progress in the beginning when you die I'd say go for it but It's plenty fun on normal. I like hard games too, big fan of Soulsborne and Nioh, but there is nothing fun about replaying the intro.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

What is the game's save system like?

 

[pezzie]

What is the game's save system like?

There is no auto save. There are save points that project a radius around it that while you are standing in that radius, you can save.

Some are very large, some not so large.

There is a quick save in the menu so really you can save the game while standing in one of these zones in 3 button presses.

 

[watdaeff4]

Anyone? There doesn't seem to be anything else to collect in the quest areas, enemies dont respawn either

Spoiler

One of those two first quests, the items you need don't drop from the enemies, but you have the search around as they are lying on the ground. (in the designated marker circle)

 

[Absol]

Happened to me too so just Save nearby then reload. Enemies should spawn back.

 

[Yopis]

What difficulty is everybody running?

 

[More_Badass]

I need a small gear and broken circuit and there's nothing left to grab

Edit:

This worked, thanks

That's interesting. I remember having trouble finding the stuff too, but I eventually found the items by walking around the red area.

 

[Squire]

Got the game!! Gotta take care of something this evening, but it's gonna be a good night. ))

 

[Proposed Law]

Is there an easy mode?

 

[TheFlow]

OMG the game opened up so much after Boss 1. holy shit.


Also the OST is incredible. I want to buy a cd.


P.s that boss fight in the desert

Spoiler

the baby.

was incredible.


This game is full on Zone of enders 2 with a mix of dark souls and I love it. challenging but fair.


balancing between this and horizon is too much

 

[pezzie]

Is there an easy mode?

Yes. And in easy mode you can turn on auto functions of certain things like shooting and dodging if you want!

Figures.. thanks

 

[Moonkid]

Only two more sleeps until I get my hands on the impossible-sequel o__o, uni starting up is keeping me occupied thankfully.

 

[TheFlow]

Yes.

yep. believe me. 3 hours in, and I think I might like this more than Horizon. The characters have such personalities. And the world has a lot of mysteries.

 

[Jiraiza]

Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard.
