| Aecioo 04/26/21 5:07:07 PM #83 | HanOfTheNekos posted... I feel the same way in reverse. I get that Justin Hammer might be some peoples' cup of tea, but nothing else about the movie is redeemable. Whiplash isn't done particularly well. It was a lackluster debut for Black Widow. The whole plotline of him having Palladium poisoning/being an alcoholic is not pulled off. It's not a real conflict - it's just an obstacle. It feels very poorly put together, forced, and then is just 'resolved'. The only reason the flip-of-a-switch resolution doesn't bother me too much is because the film does get better when they stop wasting time trying to create drama in an ineffective manner. This is exactly how I feel about the ptsd in 3 lol At least 2 didn't undercut his conflict with a bunch of hooker and fart jokes >.> --- |

| Aecioo 04/19/21 2:55:07 PM #26 | real talk though I was always a big Alex Smith fan. Thought he was always underrated. Sure, you're not going to win a superbowl with him unless the rest of the team is stacked, but he had a very solid career and put together some nice seasons. He maybe would have won that superbowl in 2012, who knows Smith and the fact that the Chiefs drafted a ton of Georgia players the past 15 years firmly cemented them as my second favorite team long before Mahomes. --- |

| Aecioo 04/17/21 11:31:29 AM #18 | IfGodCouldDie posted... Spent $2000 dollars one night when I was in my early 20s. Booze, strippers, and illegal narcotics were what the money was spent on. At the time it was super fun but when I look back on it now, I consider that to be the biggest waste of money I have ever spent. eh I did this a few years back in New Orleans and would do it again. Yeah there are obviously better uses for that money but a good time is still a good time --- |

| Aecioo 04/10/21 8:42:11 PM #417 | MrGreenonion posted... The only person who seems to be a clear-minded good guy in this show is... Zemo? Honestly you can make an argument that he's the hero in Civil War. I mean, he's not, because he's killing civilians and we know that the superheroes are needed because of other threats like Loki, Thanos, etc. He's still some what correct in some warped way that having less heroes might be better for the planet. If those greater threats didn't exist I definitely understand how he can view their presence more through the lens of something like The Boys, especially after the whole Ultron disaster. --- |

| Aecioo 04/06/21 7:53:32 PM #55 | Leonhart4 posted... I feel like you need to play the original Nier to get full enjoyment out of Automata, but it's still good on its own. I think I missed the original because it came out in my really dark ages of gaming when I was in college and only played Madden/FIFA/FPS/mobas. Easy to pick up and put down games I could play with groups, you know? I see that an updated version is being released in a few weeks. Might check it out at some point --- |

PS:T is one of my favorite games of all time but considering I'll probably only play one of these types of games this year I had to go with the better reviewed and received game. --- |

| Topic | Nier: Automata first time playing (some spoilers) |
| Aecioo 04/06/21 6:34:32 PM #48 | tru[E] ending got so yeah the final 20ish minutes or so of the true endings was great, from the credit sequence to watching it delete all my data I definitely have issues with the story, and even reading through some stuff after just to maybe fill in some holes I had I still don't think it was that great. Sure, it had great moments, but I was more invested during my first playthrough when I was exploring the world alongside 2B and 9S - all robots evil, wait they're kind of talking and are maybe sentient?, what is this amusement park world where they seem happy, omg a village full of good sentient robots waving white flags?! I don't want to outright say the final route got bogged down in a bunch of anime nonsense but... I found myself trying to finish as quickly as I could toward the end because I was losing interest Anyway, with that said I really did enjoy it overall and would recommend it to anyone. Beautiful game that constantly tries really unique stuff and generally succeeds at it. --- |
| Topic | Nier: Automata first time playing (some spoilers) |
| Aecioo 04/05/21 3:54:32 PM #43 | Poor Pascal :( Anyway, just hit where clearly A2 and 9S are gonna meet at the top of this tower. Then I accidentally knocked out my external harddrive and probably lost like 10 minutes of progress so I figured I would post here and take a few minutes. Maybe I missed some stuff but A2 seems to have no character other than "grr angry". And then she immediately wants to help Pascal because I did two fetch quests and that was enough to convince A2 who as this point has had only the attitude of "all robots must die"? I'll buy it more if it ends up being that there is much more to her and 2B then it's letting on, but unless they are mindmelded in some way that was quite the leap. Haircut character leap I guess >_> --- |

| Aecioo 04/04/21 9:40:42 PM #42 | foolm0r0n posted... The boss sequences handled this pretty well, but I do wish in 2Bs combat he would do some hacking though. It was good to keep it kinda secret and surprising though. I definitely didn't expect a lot of the gameplay to revolve around hacking. I agree it was good to keep it secret. Getting thrown into the opera boss hacking minigame so early was jarring, and by the time I got around to playing 9S I had forgotten about it. Then I just one shot everything with a quick two second or less hacking game and felt cheated >_> --- |

Anyway, finished the first part for A2 and 9S. I'm assuming I'm close to the end, I'll knock this out tomorrow probably and post my final thoughts. --- |

| Aecioo 04/04/21 9:01:28 PM #37 | Leonhart4 posted... The significant haircut I figured as much but because I don't see it enough to recognize it as a trope of (I'm assuming) jRPGs or anime it caught me off guard and had me laughing during a heavy moment --- |

| Aecioo 04/04/21 8:57:47 PM #35 | colliding posted... Tropes ahoy. Cecilia (Wild Arms), Dagger... anyone else? I don't know what you're referencing. I recognize Wild Arms as being a game... I've avoided a lot of japanese stuff for the past decade - not intentionally, I've just gravitated towards more western media in all forms. Playing Persona 5 last year has kind of led me down a rabbit hole where I probably wouldn't have touched a game like this or Yakuza: Like a Dragon at the start of last year. --- |
