I feel bad that I was the only one here not to get ending G
Note to anyone who wants to get all the endings, Ending Y is missable, so read up on how to get it once you feel comfortable doing so. It involves losing a particular hidden boss fight.
As far as I know, itās the only missable thing in the game.
on the 20th anniversary of SotN, this is an appropriate comment
Iām not seeing how that could be true. Iāve never played a platinum game, I donāt play third person action games that arenāt souls, and for me on normal this game never goes beyond button mashing. I died once, during the intro. if I removed auto heal and deadly heal would I have died a couple other times? probably. but: I donāt have to remove those chips. and if I did die a few other times on account of removing them I donāt think that would change much.
I didnāt use these at first and died quite a bit but since using them and becoming more tank-y the game has become much easier. I figured damage was the way to go given how much health enemies seemed to initially have but leveling seems to fix that. Not playing with shockwave has made certain elements of the game less enjoyable, though the Missile pod you find fixes that.
Finished route A tonight. Broken record, but, yeah, a lot of the boss patterns are kind of annoying as hell to deal with? Tons of shockwaves (of course), but the next-to-last form of the final boss for the route is really obnoxious. I could not find any connection between the animations and where the hitbox would be. Luckily, circle-strafing at the edge of Laser Pod range and tapping Evade repeatedly around the time a bunch of Stuff appears near the boss works very well. I just never had any idea what the attack was actually supposed to be doing.
Soo sorry Iām glazing by what some people have said but I only just started loop 2, being on PC put me behind and omg there were 200+ posts to catch up on.
So for now here are my highlighted through
When it comes to this game FUCK SUPERBUNNYHOP, heās got it wrong
The combat isnāt as tight as Iād like especially with 9S going in and out of hacking is just a pain
The sections where they use complete darkness is annoying as hell especially because OH NO I CAN"T SEE BUT MY CHARACTER WEARS A BILLFOLD ALL THE TIME ANYWAYS.
also, the side-scrolling battles are a mess as well judging distance is not where it needs to be.
The end of run A is so poorly paced it ruined my overall enjoyment of the game, progression, and the story horribly suffered for it as well.
Most of the combat is damn fun and Iām appreciating the chip system.
I appreciate the level of morality this game tackles.
Man the PC port has weird issues.
use the flashlight
I did, doesnāt change the fact that itās a video game and I have nothing but sight.
I did think the return to the factory was the one serious pacing misstep but you get over it.
I finally have a level 4 weapon (and three level 3ās)! and I have no idea how long loop 3 is gonna be.
Iām like 18 hours in btw. This is how you avoid burning out.
I loved the return to the factory but did kind of feel like a non-sequitur.
The return to the return to the factory was even better
speaking of the blindfolds, does that ever get addressed?
Like, I am guessing they are supposed to be able to see through the Pods or something
Iām playing super slowly, Iām 25 hours in, in the middle of loop 2.
ButbIām reading the surprisingly in-depth koi carp machine lore right now and have no regrets
Theyāre actually goggles, itās what gives them their battle hud, basically.
Ah okay, I was expecting it to be some kind of symbolic thing, like the veil that covers them from the truth or something like that. Probably is that too, I guess
Theyāre also semi-rigid, despite their fabric appearance.
Just finished Loop 1 - this game is weird.
It gets better weirder
