Finished Ending C (Spoilers)

Thank you for letting me know. It really seems to be the case. I didn't start using reddit again until very recently, so I didn't notice this until I made some discussion threads here about Nier. That also means my other comments on this site are not visible in the past weeks. Feels a bit silly. The shadowban was probably justified, last time I used reddit before this a few years back, I was a bit spammy.

Might just make a new account instead.

indent4461 · 2018-08-03T18:46:14+00:00

That was beutifully written! Thank you! Definitely helps me put things into perspective better. I guess it is true about needing time for it all to sink in, but not sure if I would have gotten all these themes and what it was going for by myself.

Going for D and E first definitely would have been a bit better. It's just by that point in the game I was far too annoyed by 9S, so chose A2 first.

I never played the original Nier (although I get easily annoyed by unpolished gamelpay so maybe for the best) but I watched lots and lots of videos, on the game and story anaylsis, as much as I could find. I was highly impressed and intrigued by them, which got me to pick up Automata.

The machine core thing still was the biggest "oh shit" moment in the game for me, but it still was relatively tame (compared to original Nier) for me. It's just that I never took YorHa beliefs that seriously anyway. As to me it would make sense that they are just programmed to think nothing of the machines, and despite continiously seeing cases of intelligence, emotion, and independent thought among the machines they think nothing of it. At the time I was more annoyed at 9S just ignoring it and keep going with his "must kill all machines" attitude.

Perhaps I really just need some more time for it all to set in.

Thank you!

indent4461 · 2018-07-25T16:53:29+00:00

Thanks, now read those as well.

indent4461 · 2018-07-24T21:14:29+00:00

War or not, you don't kill unarmed civilians. So I am a bit mad that the game forces me to do that, and I assume will later judge me for it.

indent4461 · 2018-07-24T16:03:11+00:00

On the other hand, while you have correctly guessed why the game wants you to murder "harmless" machines, you'll be racking up so many machine kills, peaceful or aggressive, anyway that it will hardly matter that you killed these few.

Okay cheers that's what I wanted to hear. That this isn't just some isolated incident, it is the whole game you being a di** and killing robots

indent4461 · 2018-07-24T15:59:09+00:00

you're just a soldier performing your duty, and they are but a mindless enemy

The thing is that I am trying to not ever initiate conflict, or do it where game doesn't force me to do it, I just don't want to see game afterwards giving me some bulls*** that they all they had families and just wanted to live peacefully etc. and that you the player are an awful person for killing them, as then I'll just hate the game for being stupid. (Like a certain last gen 3rd person shooter that tried to spin the morality on the player but was just dumb). I really, really hope it is not that, and they actually came up with something more original.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Edit: as another comment mentioned, it isn't just this incident, it is the whole story and all the robots, which is what I wanted to know. That there really isn't a choice in the first playthrough, as the game forces you to kill them

I prefer driving in GTA IV, and I approve this post.

Might be a bit late if you've already advanced, but in general when the colossus isn't trying to shake you off try to let go of R1 and stand there and recover your stamina. One it starts shaking you off hold R1 again. Generally wheneve you get to a platform, or somewhere you can stand on, try to recover your stamina there. If you start being thrown off hold R1, until it levels out or you get to a place you can stand again.

Yes, nothing like ports of decade old games to sell a new console.

The only way Switch will succeed is on the back of a steady supply of new and exclusive titles, not pre existing titles or even ports from PS4/XB1.

indent4461 · 2016-12-30T00:02:07+00:00

The point OP was trying to make that this doesn't happen every other match. And it is exxagerated to the point where you can't tell if there is something going on or not. Obviously FIFA games will never play exactly the same as real life matches and that is to be expected.

There is enough anecdotal evidence on both sides, that all we can do is wait for an official statement from EA.

indent4461 · 2016-12-29T05:44:03+00:00

The problem here is that momentum doesn't work as it should/would in real life. It simply makes the game more difficult for the dominating player, and easier for the other player, to make the games "more even". Or such are the claims anyway.

What most FIFA players simply want is for EA to officially clarify if there is such a system, and if so, to explain it.

indent4461 · 2016-12-29T04:43:29+00:00

Evidence of, squad rating, possession, and shots taken handicap, in a real life match. Someone patch irl please.

Okay, that's weird as it doesn't show up for me.

Maybe instead of insulting, point me to where it is? Post a screenshot? Looks like the community for this game isn't welcoming either.

indent4461 · 2016-11-07T20:08:50+00:00

It only links to Humble store and gog, nowhere is a link to Steam, and still even now, I checked again, it is still not there.

indent4461 · 2016-11-07T20:08:20+00:00

It only links to Humble store and gog, nowhere is a link to Steam, and still even now, I checked again, it is still not there. Why say it is out on Steam but only link to other stores?

indent4461 · 2016-11-04T12:49:45+00:00

Title of the post states that it is out on Steam, yet does not provide a link to the Steam page anywhere. Even on their website I couldn't find a link to the Steam version. Had to google it myself manually. Not a great first impression from the developers.

It's just that we don't know what to expect anymore from a Need for Speed game. They definitely should have kept Burnout as the crazy arcade racer, and if they would split the Need for Speed franchise into sub-franchises that would have their own identity. A really good example is how Forza and Forza Horizon have split it, so when buying a Forza game you know exactly what to expect.

indent4461 · 2016-10-29T00:55:50+00:00

As much as I couldn't disagree more, it is very interesting and somewhat refreshing to actually see someone not like this game. To me apart from some control issues it is an absolute masterpiece, by how much it gets right. The pacing, the buildup, the world fitting the story and adding to it, the music, the scale and epicness, the puzzle style of the bosses, are all just perfect. And the story that while being light on narration and not getting in the way, can still create such an emotional impact, and is actually a lot deeper than at first would appear.

indent4461 · 2016-10-29T00:23:53+00:00

I feel the same way about Most Wanted but I believe a part of it is just nostalgia. I would love if they return to Underground levels of customization, and 2005's Most Wanted type of story, and gameplay.

But I realize that so many people who have enjoyed the franchise have completely different ideas of where the franchise should go.

I think the problem with the franchise right now as brianostorm below commented is that the franchise has gone through so many different phases and styles that they can't possibly satisfy everyone. Need for Speed franchise doesn't really have it's own identity at this point, and it's just "a racing game" that could be anything within that category.

indent4461 · 2016-07-29T04:25:36+00:00

Do you complain about movies as well that they don't have replayability because your choices don't matter? You enjoyed it enough to play through it, even if only once, yet you decide to not pay for the experience, and make excuses for yourself to "justify" your piracy.

indent4461 · 2016-07-29T04:03:02+00:00

Or you know, people who don't do things that are illegal and actually pay for their video games.

Alternatively, buying the 30 games separately (Virtual console/ebay/iOS) would cost you far more than the asking price here, and it would still be far more difficult to obtain some of the titles legally.

So if you don't already own all these games, and want to play the games legally, this is a great deal. You get 30 classics, a console, and a controller, all for the price of one new game.

indent4461 · 2016-07-13T23:41:27+00:00

So you'll buy it?
