Started Nier route C

its like DLC that would have come out 6 months later but it's already on the disc. That's kind of an amazing thing.

I have my issues with the A/B story but I guess I'll wait to see if those are cleared up in the other routes.

A bunch of stuff I had lying around and forgot about. Using some more rules, hopefully I didn't mess up.

The only thing I need to settle with Nier is that the combat system is more streamlined than MG:R, which already was more easy than bayo. It's a stupid thing since the melee combat in the first nier was just XXXXX or YYYYYY, but since platinum got their hands on it I was expecting something at least like MG:R. It's a stupid complaint since the combat is still fun and smooth

I didn't get to play around with it much before my gpu died, but I was looking for a moves list on the menu and found none. I guess this is really more on the side of the first NieR than other Platinum Games titles.

Yeah, it definitely surprised (and tbh disappointed) me. It has some minor combos, but based on the gifs I assumed it was going to have Bayonetta-style combat. In some ways it is actually a more limited system than original Nier, but it does feel a bit more fun to play.

Finished route A and B on Nier and working my way through route C now and holy fucking shit. This game is incredible.
Stupid question. How do you know what route you're on? Is finishing the game once route A, finishing twice route B, and so on? I know there are silly routes like route W.

That's how it's been so far for the proper endings. At the end of each route it also mentions which one you've just completed and the save file displays them all as well.

Well, you would only know that it's route A/B/etc specifically once you get the actual ending but it's pretty obvious that something different is going on as soon as you start your second run on the same save.

I don't think there are any actual routes for anything beyond the main endings, though. Like, there's no actual route W. There's just a joke ending that's called ending W.
 
Nier guys: do you play with english voices or japanese? I'm thinking of switching to japanese since I find it hard to read the dialogues if there's a fight in the middle of it

Alrighty. Thanks guys

Why does he wear the mask!?
He forgot a comma, he asks you to buy a TN monitor.

Hmm

That monitor and the ACER are identical going off specs, but one is £40 cheaper and not sure why?

Might go with the Asus, since I can mount it on my wall

Both are good.

I'm actually really surprised by the English voice acting actually. It is way better than I thought it would be.

I always find it funny when there's someone speaking anything other than English in Ass Creed games

Even better if I can understand it

Was tempted to pick up Headlander on PSN sale last week, held off. On sale on steam and comes with soundtrack and cheaper than PSN... win!

I always play video games with English voice and no subtitles if I can. I like 2Bs "grumpy lady" performance. I haven't really played anything with this voice actress before, surprisingly, and she's been in a lot of stuff.

9S is pretty good, a little goofy at times. One of the operators is the young girl from Xenoblade X, I hear all the time now. I guess there's a lot of work for a grown woman that sounds like a tween.

English is pretty great and there is sometimes stuff being said in the middle of fights so might be hard to follow in Japanese

I started in Japanese, switched to English after a while and switched back to Japanese again after another while.
Both are good, though there's something about 2B's english delivery that just feels slightly off to me, though I can't really pinpoint it.

English. But I play most games with their English dubs and generally enjoy them, so your mileage may vary.
Automata's dub isn't as good as the original Nier's dub unfortunately, but its still solid imo.
How to get SteamGAF to truly appreciate how good the bundle is

But all the video games worth streaming take up so much power that streams would just lag unless you have an absolutely super beefy PC.
;_;
Facerig is cool but not even getting to be an anime girl saves it for me
 
Do you really deserve to wear that anime avatar if you play Nier in English? 🤔

I noticed now that I wrote the opposite. I'm playing in japanese and I'm thinking about english since there was a fight with dialogue and if I was reading I wasn't paying attention to the action

Nothing is perfect, unfortunately.
Viewing angles for TN
Response time for VA
Backlight bleed for IPS.
Up to the user what he's okay with.
But don't buy TN

Yea, response time on VA is something to be mindful of. My monitor is pretty good but it has some moments when it's def noticeable.

Having said that, I really like my SMVA 4k panel.

Just bought Nier. I wasn't supposed to, but somehow I suckered myself in getting the day one edition. All the Nier talk in this thread didn't help. Now I need to find time to actually play the game.

LOL R$200 here fuck off

Everytime Spore goes on sale i feel so tempted to double dip on it, had so much fun with the game back then, got my first video card ever for it

Top 6 PC games of the year so far according to OpenCritic:



Lesson: get Hollow Knight and Night in the Woods.

I already plan on getting Nier and Hollow Knight (and i guess i should own the Shovel Knight thing?)

What are Night in the Woods and Bleed 2?
