    And that is why they are niche.

    actually thanks to a recent gwas we have discovered the true reason is that a distressingly high % of console owners possess the "psnt03" allele

    theres nothing we can do for them...

    Nier totally should have:
    Deleted your trophies too.

    This would be hilarious, especially since I am one of those people who grew a Lunar Tear for some reason.

    I did too! I cheated the clock though, so it only took a few hours.

    I discovered something where you shouldn't plant all the seeds at once or something in order to increase the chances of getting rarer flower seeds. I don't remember the specifics since this was five years ago or something, but I remember it improved the probability part of it a lot.

    I remember doing something with planting the seeds out of order, where I'd plant the seeds in positions 2 and 4 first, and 1,3,5 after, or something like that. It seemed to work ok.

    the best and most troll minigame

    im really hoping nier 2 is full of delishus shitty minigames - i know platinum can deliver on this

    but srsly it will be interesting to see what is in there other than RADIKLE ACTION

    sometimes your jokes are so weird i don't understand them at all

    (PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.

    Yeah, shit, that's exactly what it was. If you planted all of one color then all of another in that pattern you could increase your chances since the chance was based on what was planted next to it or something weird like that.

    I think there was another wrinkle in that the flowers were predetermined the moment you planted the seeds. So you couldn't simply reload the save for a different result. Meaning if you planted your whole stash, and ended up striking out, or not getting enough seeds, you had to essentially start the process again.

    If you use the bounty fertilizer you always get more seeds than what you planted with, so you shouldn't be in danger of running out. You should only ever need to hybridize a given color once, as you can just plant it without trying for a hybrid and let it go to seed.

    Nier on 360 for $6, Drakengard 3 on Ps3 for $8. Good time to dip a toe in if you've never actually played these things.

    Square Enix website has NieR (PS3) for $9.99.

    Shipping is $7.99, but it's 2-day. And it's cheaper than anywhere else I've seen a used copy for (total comes to $17.99) AND you're getting a brand new copy.

    For reference it's $28 new on Amazon, with $21 being the cheapest price used, and at GameStop where they only have used, it's $20 or $18 depending on if you have their card.

    And nier is a really good game that you should give a shot if you have a ps3 to play it on.

    The other games that Taro Yoko has been in charge of have not been as punishing gameplay-wise as the stuff Platinum is famous for.

    inb4 OHKO, no checkpoint, rhythm-game boss fight

    Or maybe it won't be OHKO, just that each time you get hit, it deletes one achievement/save-game progress/enemy spawn point/NPC/save point from the world. Eventually by the time you finally beat it, there are no save points, no NPCs, and you have no achievements to show for having beaten the game. The world is left utterly barren from your struggle, but you are still allowed to roam in its open world and reminisce about what used to be there.

    And that'll be the happy ending.

    Oh man, it'll be even better will be when Nier 3 comes out and asks if you'd like to import Nier 2 data!
    Nier 3 just thanks your console for its efforts as being an Accord, and that its mission has finally come to an end.
    And then Nier 3 turns off your console.

    Isn't that just Brütal Legend? Oh, wait, Brütal Legend didn't give you a chance.

    That DJ is Drakengard's composer, I believe. And the best hype man I have ever seen.

    Got my NieR PS3 copy yesterday and popped it in to start my replay.

    That intro movie, before the menu, really does spoil the entire game. But when you're fresh into it, you'd never have any idea. It's insane.

    Kaine's little voice snippet when you boot up the game is still my favourite cold intro to a game ever.

    I thought it was super awkward when I first heard it, but that's only because I didn't understand what was going on. After getting the context though...

    The Best Friends were streaming Mindjack recently, which has a character named Weiss that acts as your partner during most of the game. Whenever the AI would screw up and do something stupid or die, Liam would chime in with "Weiss, you dumbass!"

    Which got zero reaction from the other three people in the room. At least like two people in chat would get excited with me...

    I think I prefer the version with both of the girls, rather listen to that, just found that one first. Here's another classic, though.

    Is NieR just full of tracks in which tonally divergent and unrelated music is layered on top of one another?

    Because that does not sound good.

    No, I don't know what is up with that youtube channel but the normal tracks don't have that layering.

    Ok. Presumably it's a really dumb method of avoiding YouTube's copyright bots. Or someone's half-assed attempt at "remixing" the original tracks.

    This is a Youtube meme. Not sure if it's just one guy or a series of channels. Basically uploads songs that have been altered... somehow (it varies). Part 2 of the meme is everyone comments how good the songs from that game were. Confused people are not helped.
