Comparing Assassin's Creed Origins to Mass Effect Andromeda is the Citizen Kane of Assassin's Creed Origins comparions.

I finished up today's beastcast. Well, I started it on Wednesday through illicit means, but it was good nonetheless. Gonna miss ol Jeff B for the next week or so.

There are some choice Nier opinions in this beastcast that I can only imagine will sit poorly with a lot of people. Some very valid, and some that are indicative of personal taste. Generally I agreed with Abby that it's a story that could be told w/o the Anime Sexualization, and I can totally see why someone would fall off of it because of it. Though I can't remember how much they put 2B in awful camera angles...I feel like it's been ages since I played/finished the game. I remember at least two or three scenes, and they're at the beginning.

I'm struggling with the combat :() it's very boring to me

The only game I played that was similar to Nier was MGR:R

I turned it to easy, but that somehow made it worse since it's basically playing itself

How long is route A? I'm at a part where big robots attack the earth city thing
2/3rds most likely.

I get the complaints of combat, though I the world and story were enough to downplay the sameness of the combat. Some of the later chips make combat a bit more interesting, like some of the parry chips or some stuff from Route B.

2017 is not done yet. What a year for games:

(former Witcher devs)

That has to be one of the worst names for a game ever. It has nothing to do with the theme of the mechanics, evokes nothing, the whole subtitle is a search engine nightmare and Seven is even worse in that regard. It's a shame because the game proper looks cool and I would never have known about it without this post.

(Haven't listened to the podcast yet, but) The only one that ever really registered for me was the suspiciously low standard gameplay camera, but in cutscenes, I never really felt like the camera lingered on / leered at 2B or A2. (Something that can't be said for Kaine in OG Nier.) I all but entirely stepped away from anime over the last decade after being tired of Anime Fanservice Bullshit so I tend to have a pretty low tolerance for it in games. Still, I can understand how someone with a similar frustration could think that Automata falls on the wrong side of the fence.

My God I can't deal with Dan's food opinions anymore.

It's too much.

Edit: He doesn't know eggs and flour are in cookie dough. What is this.

I feel like nier would be 10x better if it was just an anime. And don't give me the whole "but it does things only a video game can do!!!" If you're going to make an action game it shouldn't be so poorly designed and bad to play.

I've never made cookies from scratch, I probably kinda sorta knew eggs and flour was involved but I would've had to think about it for a second. I cook a lot, I just never ever cook dessert so why would I know that

You guys are freaking out a little too hard over this, he has said way more egregious stuff in the past

I thought she was on the money with her issues with the horny anime designs, the game clearly has some things to say about sexuality but none of that has anything to do with her specific design and at best YoRHa designs are a trope. I think she's dead wrong how the game handles it's themes though and if she just skips to Youtube videos she's going to miss some of that.

Just received $100 in Amazon bucks and am proud to say I am finally joining the SSD club. Anyone else have one and can tell me what it's like? Can't wait to see how fast I will be able to pump out gifs :P

Night and day.... One of the biggest upgrade you can do on a PC... Seriously...

Make sure to install your OS and your games on it!

Out of all the upgrades you can do to a computer, HDD to SSD is one of the biggest and most noticeable. Like Megasoum said, putting your OS on your SSD and making it your boot drive does wonders. One tip I can also give is, to avoid cluttering your SSD with games, just install the ones that you're playing onto the SSD and keep the rest on an HDD, switching games between drives whenever you want that extra speed boost.

That's the plan :P So excited to try certain games on it!

I will do that! Thanks for the tip! Is it easy to move the OS over? Only thing I'm worried about really!

install it into your PS4

But the design is perfectly fine and it plays just fine as well?

I've played through it twice and am planning a third time before the year finishes (gonna be tight) but I never had a single issue with how the game is structured or how it plays.

The first NieR is much more poorly designed (although very interesting) and frustrating game to play, Automata in comparison is a wonder.

I know there are ways to clone your hard drive onto an SSD, but unfortunately I don't have any experience in doing that. Every time I get a new drive I usually do a fresh reinstall. The one thing you have to consider for cloning drives is if your current boot drive has more used up space than your new SSD.

Man MAN these early Xbox 360 games. What a time. System was on fire from 2005 to 2007/2008, figuratively, and literally for some people.

Where's the Bullet Witch trailer when you need it.

I'm watching Dan play around with the ipad while Drew plays MGS5....

I just realized... Do companies still make those companion apps? Like for example I'm playing ACO and Wildlands right now and having the map on my ipad would be nice

Probably going to do a fresh OS install! Moving around so many files and OS is probably a bad idea :P

The Division was going to have one, but it got cancelled. I'm guessing UBI as a whole moved away from it internally after that. Wildlands would be a perfect game for it, you're right!

That sucks... I loved those apps. I remember using it for Black Flag to send my guys on missions or with Fallout 4 to use the PipBoy since it was 10x better than the ingame PipBoy


Edit: Nvm, Ghost Recon has an app!
