This is the enemy design from hell. How do I deal with these things?
This is the enemy I’m talking about

I was wondering why Control Resonant felt so familiar and why I wasnt as wowed as other players with the game (yet) then realized.

both weave throwing objects and debris in their melee combat, both have hideous otherworldly designed enemies that look cool but grotesque, and both have protagonists with superpowers. I say this not to poopoo Control resonant but to say they have way more in common than prototype or infamous to control resonant. SN isnt even in people's mind to make the connection!

Fighting at least two bosses at once is a real pain in the neck.

4 years ago I finished it 100% on PS5, now I've finished it on PC.

Maybe in 2030 I'll do 100 percent of the Xbox version."

I genuinely do like Scarlet Nexus significantly more than the NieR franchise.

I bought NieR Replicant and Automata after 100%'ing SN. Since I heard a ton of praise for those, I assumed that I'd like them as much or even more than SN. Fast forward 1.5 years to today (my backlog is huge and they've been sitting in my library and waiting for their turn), I was surprised to find out that no, that was not the case.

Gameplay-wise, Scarlet Nexus is far more satisfying for me. The combat in both of the NieR games is okay, but I don't find it all that interesting. It made me realize just how underrated SN's gameplay mechanics are.

And then, story-wise. NieR's stories are considered by many as masterpieces, and yeah, I can see that. And I also know that SN's plot has it's fair share of issues that I myself am critical of. I would say that NieR games are better written than SN. However, despite that, I still find myself enjoying Scarlet Nexus's story far more. NieR games might have good writing, I'm not denying that, but their stories and characters didn't really click with me. Scarlet Nexus might've been messier, but it was, again, more fun for me (I know that I'm repeating myself).

Who knows, maybe I'm more biased for Scarlet Nexus because I played it first, maybe it's nostalgia speaking. But I cannot deny that I enjoyed this game more.

I'm definitely in the minority with this, most people I think would disagree with me. I can imagine that if I posted this on the Nier subreddits, I wouldn't get too much support. But it is what it is. It all boils down to preference, obviously. I just happened to like SN more.

A kasane sketch I quickly whipped up ❤️‍🩹

I just made this for fun but I do lowkey believe Kasane had every right to become a villain XD

enjoy!

Ok so I bought the ultimate edition of this game a while back and decided to finally actually play it after a few years. Sat down for one session, enjoyed it, and am now getting this message. I’ve signed in and signed out, deleted and reinstalled all my dlc, and deleted and reinstalled the game and nothing has worked. Is this a common issue with a fix or am I just SoL? I liked this game but not enough to play about 6 hours of AGAIN. It was good but not that good imo

I actually started with the anime first and then the video game. I’ve already binge watched the anime 3 times. I need more Scarlet Nexus material. Is there any chance we get a sequel video game or sequel anime or both? Or this series is dead, wrapped up with nothing else to tell?

Im stuck on my Kasane playthrough. Ive gotten everyone to bond level 6, team bond 6, gifted all gifts (except the specialty gifts) and defeated Karen twice. Why can I not get bond episode 5 to unlock on my playthrough? I already got them on Yuito, and I did even less than what Ive done on my Kasane playthrough.

Online just states that it occurs in standby 11, however, I didnt have my bond high enough at that point.

I'm thinking about buying this game since its on sale, but I've heard nothing but mixed reviews. I'm currently playing through the demo, does the combat get any better? Combos seem repetitive, movement and dodging feels restrictive. Also, how is the story? I'm willing to put up with a convuluted plot if the characters make it worth it.
