I'm warming up to A2, not so much her design. I don't know how fair that is though since she's basically Kaine with none of the humanity.

Can you give a vague hint on how to get it, if it's not something you could intuitively find on your own?

The 20 joke endings are usually done through a combination of dying at certain scripted events in the game, leaving the mission boundaries of a story event, and other things. The 1 not-joke ending is achievable once you get all the weapons and fully upgrade them and can be done with 2B, 9S, or A2, each of which has a slightly different take to the events that lead up to the ending in terms of dialogue.

This isn't really spoilers but whatever
I kinda viewed her costume as part of her skin because of how old the model is. Like there isn't anything under it that the outfit is basically painted on. Idk I think it's s neat idea, but I get why people might dislike the actual outfit sense she looks like a chick in her underwear.

Oh ok. I expected I would have to follow the tradition of having to upgrade all the weapons to get the "true" ending. If that leads to a satisfying optional ending, then all the better.

So I'm guessing A2
's sudden turn to compassion after murdering a robot baby for no reason is that 2B's memories are influencing her? Don't tell me if I guessed it.

I've got no idea. It could just be from meeting Pascal. Nobody could dislike Pascal.

Lol, I only just found out that the first attack of Pod is stronger, so tapping instead of holding would be better.

This game.

It was like that in NieR too. Most of Pod's attacks are based off of Weiss' (the book, not me) spells.

moar Route C Spoilers

Holy shit do not fuck with Pascal. Dude just went Metal Gear Excelsus.

That followup meanwhile was decidedly NOT OKAY WHAT THE FUCK.

Hey guys, just a little question about an early game boss (desert area). I discovered a pretty weird audio bug and wanted to know whether this is a common glitch or not.
I uploaded a video of it via my PS4:

Link to video

When I entered this area my speakers made a popping sound and the audio was gone. The audio returned briefly whenever I entered the menu of the game, but popped back out as soon as I left the menu.
Fiddling with the in-game audio options, as well as plugging in headphones into the controller or using a wireless headset didn't do anything, so it is definitely an ingame problem.

The only solution was to reboot the game entirely.

Has anybody else discovered this yet or am I the only one?

I once had this in the exact same moment, if you use the home button you also get weird, unhealthy sounding crackling noises in the ps4 menu's.

Fortunately it was the only bug i had to suffer and it never happened again

Uhhh...for those who have finished the game
did the audio cut out for you during the back-and-forth boss battles up the tower after all the dialogue finished?
I thought it was by design, but with this post I'm not sure now.

A2's boost mode skill is awesome in theory, but in practice all it does is get you killed. Wastes your healing items too.

Any other cool stuff she can do other than Boost, taunt, and the long sway dodge?

Happened to me yesterday. My soundbar made a off sound and the right speaker didn't got any sound. Only the left one.

Returning to the ps4 menu worked fine, only way to fix it was to restart the game.

This game has no right to be open world.
The world design is terrible (lots of blocked roads and invisible walls), most of the side quests are abysmal and the back tracking feels really bad because the world is so boring and ugly.
The combat itself is great and I like the animations. This game should be linear, imo. For me this is another game destroyed by the open world concept.
Huge disappointment so far.

Just wait to do the side quests until
fast travel
is available.

I don't really get how this game is ruined by having a connected world. Some of the world seems a bit bland but lots of it is quite nice to look at.

What does "have no right" even mean lol

I'm not crazy about the tedious of traveling everywhere (until fast travel at least), but that's a weird thing to say.

Strongly agree about the open world design. The bad graphics make it all the more intolerable.
