go check her flight unit.

???? where is it??

 

[Exentryk]

Quite a few of my chips I have multiples of equipped, does that matter for anything? I'm still early on.

You can synth them to make better versions of them. The cost will go up slightly, but the output/cost ratios are a lot better. Also note that there is a cap to the bonuses chips give, so you can equip one or many, but eventually you'll hit the cap.

What are the best upgrades to get right away?

Spoiler

Flooded City,

on the right of the road as you enter on a grassy patch.

What are the best upgrades to get right away?

Hammer is the strongest single ability against ground enemies.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

What is the nature of loot in this game? What about armor/weapons? Is it Souls style or Diablo style?

 

[Exentryk]

Hammer is the strongest single ability against ground enemies.

How's Mirage damage wise in comparison to Hammer? It hits everything in the radius, right?

 

[BRSxIgnition]

It hits everything in an area around the Player for less damage, rather than an area infront of the Player for more.

 

[Samikaze]

What is the nature of loot in this game? What about armor/weapons? Is it Souls style or Diablo style?

Weapons are much more like Souls, where you find/buy them and can upgrade them if you have the materials and currency. There are no extra armors, but you can add things like masks and bows for vanity items.

Loot is just craftable items, occasional weapons, and consumables.

Ah cheers. I removed the text log chips and item names wouldn't show up when picked up ;_;

Thanks. I'm going to have to test them all eventually.

THIS GIANT FIGHT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[freeofgreed]

Wish they showed a recommended level for side missions, keep taking missions which i'm too underleveled for.

 

[RubberLuffy]

Thanks. I'm going to have to test them all eventually.

As the game has gone on I've found myself using Mirage more and more. It's really good when you're surrounded.

THIS GAME IS TRASH

I see you got to "that" part.

 

[paragonpro]

The mistake i initially made was trying to play it like a platinum game (not using items at all) was then legit shook when no combat ratings appeared after a fight so now i use restoratives like candy

Route B/acquiring Pod B spoilers:

Spoiler

Can I acquire Pod B in this route? 9S disappears around this time and I need to fish for it.

Yes. Yesss.

Ending A was

Spoiler

pretty amazing for an ending that doesn't explain a damn thing. I mean I still have almost no idea what is happening in most of that intro cinematic. This game is killing it in terms of presentation though.

I grabbed some rum & cranberry juice (ugh) for the trip to ending B tonight. Figured it was a suitably weird drink combo for this phenomenally weird game.

 

[george_us]

Just finished ending B. Whew. Unless C and D completely screw the pooch, this is going to go down as my GOTY.

Hold onto your butts.

You haven't even gotten to the best parts of the game.

Get ready for a wild ride.

 

[Moaradin]

Are people putting their bodies in front of ladders so you can't climb them?

 

[Samikaze]

Are people putting their bodies in front of ladders so you can't climb them?

Like strategically dying to block you? or NPCs?

Either way, just jump over them and land on the ladder.

 

[Ourobolus]

You're talking about the village, right? Drives me crazy.

 

[Moaradin]

Yeah, there was a couple player bodies right on top of a ladder. Whenever I tried to climb up, 2b would fall off. I had to do some weird jumping shenanigans to get over it.

People already might be finding ways to grief players with the online features lol.

You're talking about the village, right? Drives me crazy.

Yup. We might be thinking of the same ladder.

Oh! At the top? Yeah, that sucks lol.
Points for creativity. At least you can repair them and make them do your bidding.



Side note: WOO this OT put me over my limit. I am now no longer Junior Member after a year

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Man, dual-wielding short swirls with a shockwave chip is pretty fun. Anyone try dual-wielding spears?

Four fist style for me.

 

[MultiJhonny]

How do i get to

the copied city at the end of route A

[Samikaze]

I am.
Using the Virtuous Dignity for fast attacks, and follow up with the 40-B spear for heavier, more direct attacks.

 

[Satch]

you know, i was really worried about enemy variety in this game, but they made it work and i had nothing to worry about after all



how???????

 

[True Fire]

Trust me, the best part of Automata is the ending. I have no idea how the game manages to continually improve upon itself.

Blame Yoko Taro. Damn him!

I remember being a little worried when SE and Platinum would only show off debug footage of the game.

How I couldn't have been more wrong.

[Son Of Sparda]

Now fly! Fly onward to a shinning future!

 

[Rainy]

Damn this game needs a lot of space to install haha. I have more than 46.7 GB free but it still isn't letting me install :x guess I have to free up more space.
