Yes, I'm still bitter about it deciding my savegame was not worthy enough to be kept around. Spoilers for NieR 1. Spoiler NieR: Gestalt/Replicant did the erase-your-save-for-the-best-ending thing first. So it was not as impactful for me in NieR: Automata. I suppose, NieR 1 better subverted the hero's journey trope (not sure, if Automata tried to do so) and subsequent "playthroughs" (technically, it was one playthrough, but some parts were awfully similar) were less irritating, due to the fact that enemies and especially bosses did not scale, so by the third run, it required 2-3 minutes to deal with each one and move on. Also not being forced to play as a support character was great (I do strongly dislike 9S). Link to post Share on other sites

injurai 3,507 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The buttons are already modeled off the Vita, which is one of the most premium feeling products and easily best d-pad I've ever seen. I too thought it looked liked the love child between a Portal turret and a DualShock 4... must have been for... science... Link to post Share on other sites

Joe has a bunch of other videos you can spend hours watching, and he always says if you'd like to play the game at some point it's better to play first, then watch. Except for games where it really doesn't matter, e.g. Factorio. Edited April 9, 2020 by majestic Fractured and Factorio aren't the same thing, obviously. 1 Give me the eyes, so I see Give me ears, so I hear Give me love, so I know what love is Give me freedom to think, to believe In something -- Tony Kakko Link to post Share on other sites

And now as a bonus you get white color so you can see almost all of your stains on it right from the first day of use I actually like all previous DualShocks compared to most controllers I owned, and never felt pain in my hands even after hours of button mashing in fighting games, so I am not very happy about the new design much.

Wormerine 4,383 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Any preferences regarding controllers? After some research I bought Dualshock2 for my laptop, and outside having to use it while wired I had mostly a great time with it. Quite quickly I started to gave issues with left sticks deadzone, which I wasn't able to quite solve by expanding the deadzone in steam settings (it tends to put forward imput by itself) which was disappointing. It feels good to use though. Link to post Share on other sites

It feels good to use though. I've always preferred xbox controllers. They're a little bigger, weight a bit more, the trigger and bumper buttons are wider spaced, and the analog sticks are place right next to one another. To me, they just feel much better. If I have to use a controller, I use my elite. Keyboard and mouse, though, is my favorite control input. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
