I know, cos you enjoy being very dismissive towards certain users.

Still, board's big enough for everyone to have their circle.

Save your code just in case.

But yeah, you clear the game data and keep replaying the game until the 2nd pull.

Meh, you'll just disagree, but ok:

His design and look firstly isn't good compared to how striking Emil/Kaine/Weiss are, that already puts a bad first impression, since I'm going to be playing as him for 20+ hours.

He plays the straight man in the interactions and compared to their quirky personalities he comes off as rather bland. There are a number of straight man type characters who work the comic aspect well, with Nier the light hearted moments aren't really all that frequent. So we're mostly playing as Mr. Frowny face with little release of tension.

His character arc isn't very interesting compared to the rest of your party. It's not what I would call generic, but as he is only thinking of one thing throughout the game it doesn't allow for much of his character to actually develop.

A number of characters I like, hey take Kiryu another usually frowny type of guy. He spends a lot of his story arcs learning and finding out about new things that can change his perspective or lead to him fighting for a number of different causes, because through the story they became something of value to him.

With Nier, he'll just show some anger at Emil and Kaine not being allowed into the village, but that's about it. The game never really sees him take their up their causes. These characters at least through the first 2 games, mostly sort their own shit out. A lot of games I like have the MC work with a party member to sort an issue, I like it, it builds this strong bond of sort. But since those two aren't part of the village, it ends up feeling like they're building bonds away from you the Main character. This means I don't really feel like Nier has as strong a relationship with his party, as they do with each other.

So as a fan of the other characters, the story driving him on a trail of revenge that gets everyone else killed or badly injured just makes him less likeable. The game invests a lot of time into making even shades somewhat sympathetic, so you end up feeling like you're playing as a villain. Ok, you can do that in many games, but here your end goal is saving a cute little girl, but you're going about it by being an evil dick.

That might be the point sure, but that doesn't have to make him likeable either.

It's not even like he's unaware that he's being a dick either. This makes him more of a one note protagonist, so if that doesn't connect with you in a meaningful way, there's nothing to enjoy. Even if the character redeems himself at the end by realising he was blinded by his motivation, by then it's too late. You've invested so much time playing as a douche, that its not enough.

Sure he's not as bad as Kratos (I only watched the GoW cutscenes, so I think I got the plot down there at least)


But yeah, sure you sound like you thought Nier was cool enough, I don't, different strokes n all that.

I'm working my way through ending C, looking forward to the improved PG gameplay.

Nier Automata incoming.

Given the hype from a few users who have similar tastes to mine, I expect this to be even better than Yakuza 0 and Persona 5.

Nier was a great awful game, if only the main character wasn't so unlikeable.

This is more for you guys in america, but:

The original test run of T-shirts for the Bullet Club and its members at Hot Topic, which were at selected stores over the past few weeks was a big enough success that every Hot Topic store has ordered a full line of Bullet Club, Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes and Marty Scurll T-shirts. They started showing up in about 15 percent of the Hot Topic stores in the U.S. last week. The original deal was to eventually market Bullet Club shirts nationwide, but the individual shirts were test marketed, with the Young Bucks in about 143 of the 800 to 900 stores and Omega & Rhodes in a slightly lower number and Scurll not in many at all. But all the shirts greatly over performed and they will all now be in all stores starting roughly 7/17. The story behind this is execs from Hot Topic were in Orlando for WrestleMania and saw Bullet Club and Elite and Young Bucks stuff all over the place, and asked WWE why those popular shirts aren’t part of their deal. By calling, they found out they weren’t WWE shirts so made the deals themselves with the individuals

I wonder, the WWE didn't find the Broken brand worth fighting for, but if they could obtain the Bullet Club license, would they actually offer good money for it?

I think the 5* rates might be broken. I have a friend who got a ton of rainbows today and I just did another 10+1 and got an Orlandeau. A lot of people have been getting rainbows on their 10+1 ticket.

Best NBA team/Best WNBA team - Series Playoffs (sorry don't watch basketball but I know the ridiculous difference between the NBA and WNBA teams)

This might be the biggest beatdown of them all. I'm not sure the best WNBA team would even score a basket outside of just heaving it full court and hoping it goes in.

Surely a Superbowl winning side against the top Women's American Football side would be even crazier?
