Ah damn. So I'll have to finish B/C in order to play as 2B again, huh.
I'm at the beginning of the C route and I'm so frustrated I'm thinking about quitting the game altogether despite putting 30 hours in so far.
Is there something I"m missing

I've become infected and I'm trying to get to the destination. The problem is I can't jump or move fast and enemies keep chaining me. I've died 7 times already.

You'll unlock a Chapter Select after C, so yeah.
Um, you know you periodically get full control back for short periods of time, right? You need those short periods to do the jumps you need to do, the first being the jump on the pipe when you enter the City Ruins from the Flooded City and the second one being on the way to the bridge from there. You should be able to avoid enemies by walking a bit erratically.
Go down through the crater as a shortcut. There's a walkway that heads up to the other side.
if you're getting swarmed and can only walk, just keep pushing forward, it lets you run/jump every so often. Took me a few tries too.

Just did the runaway kid quest from
village.
It's not the first i've done, it's not even that special, yet the little, simple story it tries to tell, in such a deep complex plot, and that track playing at the end... I don't know, this game is fucking hitting something inside me, i get so emotional i am actually teared up right now.
I don't even know what to say anymore!!!

It's a bit finicky.
You have to time your bursts of functionality in order to get past enemies/gaps. Don't worry if you need to take longer routes around to avoid them, or if you have to use TONS of healing items to stay alive.
Damn, that's what I figured. The problem is
I keep getting knocked around and the game won't even let me heal. I hit start and it gets me to the pause screen instead of the menu screen.
I guess I'll completely respec and just have nothing but auto chain

Yeah that's the route I've been taking. I'll keep trying though. Thanks.

Don't you have Auto-use Item chips? They automatically use a health item if your health is low enough. Also heals more.
You could almost say it comes down to whether you prefer MGRs counter or Bayo's Witch Time.

Hit down to access the quick item menu

Beat the game in its entirety for the 2nd time
Finally i can do the post game content and sidequests. Also Managed to finish the game in a mere 9 hours. (Skipping through most of the game though)
now not deleting my save file

Got my platinum. Fantastic game.
It's so easy to replay the game

For me,
after exiting the pipe went left up the hill and then tight left/reverse to go around up top, watching the spacing from enemies while waiting for temporary functionality to return. Same with the chasm gap you need to jump, approach while anticipating temporary power to enable the leap.

Yeah, it's definitely not something i could do with every game.
Als playing while experimenting
voices was pretty funny!
That's a good point. I've never used that chip before since I've never needed it. Between the offense heal and the one that heals after a few seconds I've used maybe 3 health items the entire game.
This is actually the first time I've died
Also change difficulty to easy until you get pass that part, I did it on first try on normal but I could tell it will be annoying for others as I was close to giving up.

Is the

route C?

Thanks. I hope Route B isn't too long.
Did you guys pretty much do all of the sidequests during your route A playthrough?
Edit: A certain quest spoiler:
Edit: A certain quest spoiler:
The resistance disappearance quest is pretty interesting. Love the music that plays after you tell the member their friend is dead. Now it says they're planning something, so I guess I should come back later? NEVERMIND. The quest just updated as I left the Resistance Camp.
Nah, I left some side quests unfinished like karate robot for later on.

Been enjoying my time with the game so far but I kind of hate the map, I'm not gonna lie.
Also, how long roughly does it take to complete one play through?

So, while I'm still waiting for the PC version, I have been wondering:
There have been several ppl who didn't like the demo and asked whether the full game is any "better".
As for me I actually liked the linearity of the demo, so how open world does the full game get? Could it be that I won't appreciate the rest of the game as much?

Welp I managed to get past the first stage of opening mission third boss, but after the cutscene I died in three seconds in one hit to the new kind of projectile. Maybe I would survive with a defense boost item just at the start of the phase. But I should have gone to bed two hours ago, so I'll have to try another day.
It really feels like they forgot to put a save point at the start of the level. The two shortcuts I've found after replaying the mission 20 times make no sense without a checkpoint

If thats the quest in Route C go to where Emil's sidequest ended

Just finished Route B. As small in number as the tweaks to the ending were, they have some huge ramifications and damn
! That's got me hooked.

Ok I'm part way through with the third run working towards c ending and yep it's a Yoko taro game alright.
. Got one last sidequest so I expect the subsequent runs to be pretty quick in comparison.
2b dying and the whole drama with pascal and a2
What difficulty are you playing, you should change to normal or easy until you reach a save point.
I've done pretty much everything that can be done in Route A. I have a couple left (Including the last Father Servo one) to do before I continue with the main quest and finish Route A.

I got the plat, but
I don't know if I feel guilty about it or not, but I love that beyond being cheeky, it makes perfect sense, because it works as an incentive.
not the fair way
If you didn't know any better, you could get to Ending E, feel compelled to delete your save file, and have to start from 0. If your a trophy hunter but just want to help people without putting a trillion more hours in, you can get to that point, go "oh shit what?" load up a previous save, buy the trophies, redo the relatively easy fight for ending D/E and then choose to delete

I'm playing on hard and I'm too stubborn to change it
You should try out that neat self destruct ability on the Bunker!

Finally, witch time.
Pretty much what I've been doing.
You don't even need step 2 because it stun locks whatever you hit

You might not be too stubborn to change it for much longer..
All the spears? I'm currently using a Level 4 Type-40 spear.

Honestly, using the Level 4 Cruel Oath and equipping witch time made short work of most encounters when
playing as 9S. Big enemies can just get hacked.
Hell, the dragons can usually be easily subjugated, which REALLY helps out with crowds in those situations

That was my main as well, I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure at the very least that level 3 spears were also stunning.
