Hey y'all I've been using my bitfunx memory card for a while now. Recently I've been using two different gamecube consoles more frequently (there hooked up to different different tv's). Went to go play my Mario Sunshine save on the different gamecube and the save is gone. Is the save file tied to the other famecube or is this a save issue?
Won these out of mini claw machine today. Have no idea what they are or even how to search for them online. Any guesses?
Hey y'all just wondering if there are any good good replacement thumbsticks? I got a pair of resin one's that were expensive but I don't like the way they feel really. Any good thumbsticks thst feel close too OEM?
Grabbed a Toshiba 32A42A today for $40. This is my third set and holy crap this thing is so huge it makes my 27" feel small. One thing I found odd is the crt database has this listed with component out. Yet this one doesn't have component, still has S-Video though. The colors seem a little off to me though so any advice on adjustments will be appreciated!
Hey y'all was looking into thks TV a bit as someone posted it locally. I currently have a toshiba 27af41 which is awesome but I wanted a new set and the hdmi output on this set seemed fun. Is $200 too much for it?
Pretty good pick-up here for about $2 total.
Hey y'all been playing a ton of cags this year and felt the need to rank them. The have not played tier is basically organized by what I'm going to play next!
Hey Y'all,
I finished Nier Automata and loved every second of it. Naturally I went into Nier Replicant after a week or two and now I feel exhausted mentally. Before I begin venting frustrations and the like I want to say that I do think overall this is a great game but it has some really bad warts.
I found the story to be very engaging from beginning to end. The character particularly I found to be a big step up from Automata. By the end of Automata I'd say I was really only attached to 9S as a character. 2B was fine but a bit too passive imo. A2 was fine and reading her backstory Manga made me enjoy her character more but she never really clicked for me idk why though.
Replicant cast is fantastic, Nier is basically the average battle shonen protagonist. Legit in fifnally fight he's yelling about friendship and its hype as hell, shits great. Kaines backstory and hardships she's faced made me resonate and connect with her a lot more than I ever though I could for a character dressed in lingerie. Emile is the most tragic character in a video game ever and I just want to give him a hug. There all great.
The combat is fun not as flashy as Automatas on the surface. Yet there is still some really cool stuff you can do in it. I love that dodge rolling gives you i-frames so just rolling straight into enemy bullets is a legitimate strategy.
My first complaint and imo this is undoubtedly the thing that maybe could ruin the game if your not patient enough. Hard mode is terrible genuinely one of the worst hard modes I've ever seen in a game. I wish game devs could understand that making enemies damage sponges doesn't just make the harder. It just leads to players finding busted strategies to abuse.
Dark Lance legitimately knocks down enemies which means you can run up and do the kill move on them. Fighting mobs of enemies never feels tense or interesting like in say Ninja Gaiden or Kingdom Hearts 2 on critical. Instead mob fights just feel a chore. This could be forgivable if the boss fights were incredible but unfortunately they kinda suck. There are some good ones, the Kaine fights, shadowlord there fun fights. The problem is most boss fights have similar attacks and patterns which leads to them feeling unengaging.
Add that to the fact that you'll be fighting all of the mid-game fight again when doing the other ending routes. It unfortunately leads the games combat to feel like a chore after the first route. I was groaning so much after doing route B that I actually might think that getting this games true ending might not be worth it.
I've seen a lot of fans say that's the point killing eexcessively is something Yoko Taro hates in games. Which is why he made this game and Drakengards combat so bad. Those are probably the dumbest fucking takes I've ever actually seen especially after reading his biography Manga.
Legitimately in his biography he gives up on directing drakengard 2 because of the negative respons to 1. He goes through a mid-life crisis because of the response to Nier. Ffs if you ever look up his favorite games it's just dominated by the shoot'em up genre. A genre that is literally just blowing enemies away with reckless abandon.
Instead I think the combat being bad in this game just comes down to inexperience. This was Taro's second game he directed he was still learning. Nier Replicant definitely shows because its faults its still a great game and imo worth a playthrough although going for the true ending is going to require a lot of paatience.
