My hold back there is wanting to find those chests I can now hack open, which I generally don't recall the locations of.

Hacking is strong yeah, I took down one of the gold bots with it I previously just fled from.

Yeah I remember struggling with the 9S playthrough until he gets separated due to the retreading of the plot. Just keep powering along.

Like I can't image sitting through the ending of this game and thinking "damn I should've gotten all the chests"

I have beaten the amusement park and gotten to Pascal. This is where the Wandering Couple quest became available again. Anything previously done has been completed. Some new ones as well, I'm not gonna prioritize them very much before getting fast travel but I did help a mother that had her son lock himself in... twice. I also beat the remaining Robo Dojo quests thanks to hacking.

Point of no return would be the same right? When you go to the flooded area, they get locked.

I went for fast travel first. It's interesting that Adam and Eve keep their levels in this run unlike everything else. It meant I beat Adam thrice in his monologue.

Wandering Couple gave a really good pod program, that one could have been nice on the first playthrough as well. Oh well.

Bunch of quests that wasn't around for the 2B playthrough coming up here as well. Also got a chance to do Machine Examination 2 again, another one I got locked out of. How many times do you have to talk to that big guy? The only other thing I could've completed at this point would be Emil's Memories I'm pretty sure. This includes giving that scienties enough money, as money haven't really been an issue lately, I've bought and upgraded everything I can.

Should be noted that there's a bunch of things not fully upgraded and I haven't done anything in particular to hunt materials.

Also Wandering Couple quest disappearing then was a blessing in disguise because those 50000 you had to give them would likely be out the window since you get locked out of everything right after.

I guess I only have the forest zone left before going back to the point of no return. That will not be today though and unfortunately also not before Sunday.

I have done all side-quests available which just barely put me at the 80% required for the trophy (think you could've missed one at this point). Emil's Memories had a sweet ending and a trophy too. He's weird.

Continued a bit

"You're just thinking about how much you want to **** 2B, aren't you?"

What a line lmao

So humans being extinct is pretty huge.

I was almost done with the Eve fight, having hacked him and everything, then the game crashed. I had just saved but still annoying.

I just played it again and it worked. Ending B get. Very excited about what's next. Credits theme is very good btw.

Oh and I read that game crashing is a PS5 issue, it happened to me before. Twice in the same place so I hoped it was just then. This was actually in the same area, the hole in City Ruins.

As I started typing this I could control 2B during credits.

This walk while infected is super frustrating. I was being kicked down and away alerting new enemies for like 10 hits straight because 2B takes a decade to get up again so I didn't get to control further being hit again. I know part of the frustration is intended but I feel like I must've been unfortunate with where they kept kicking me to.

I'm trying to recall when was the last time a game kicked my legs away under me like this but I'm too distracted to truly think. I will say that I'm surprised and very pleased I was not aware this would happen.

Also despite Pod's best (and worst) effort it'll be a little bit before I get to learn about A2 it seems.
