What's so good about this game? I tried in several threads but never go an answer besides "it's fun"

Satisfying combat
Interesting interactions between many characters within quests
Setting with lots of interesting lore
Fantastic music
A few unique meta-narratives

Has its flaws but I think there is enough good to offset them.

Had the choice to buy nier or yakuza 0 and/v/ overwhelmingly suggested yakuza 0 so now I have to deliver booze for homeless people.......

The combat has its moments

>has its moments
I literally held R1 the entire game.

Consume the 4 30 second buffs, and demolish shit with basic combos.

Its not a great combat system. Your dodge is far too forgiving and spammable. You have no reason to learn combos or enemy patterns since you can just run around like a maniac spamming over powered attacks.

The GS Baseball bat swing is the best fucking move and if you don't think that's the tightest shit than get out of my face.

That's a pretty boring way to play a game that offers a lot more than just that.

The sad thing, is my way of playing was grossly more effective than that. Especially considering that you're rarely fighting 1 on 1, and are instead put up against hordes and hordes.

I think the difficulty would be a lot more fun on hard if the damage was slightly lowered (a lot less one shots) and you just had a healing item limit

Say, no more than 5 of each healing item (5 small restores, 5 mediums, etc) on you at a time

you can still collect more but they just go straight into storage which automatically refills each time you go to a save station

as it is if something doesn't kill me in one hit then it's not killing me because i have 70 medium restores, so if it can't kill me in one hit then it can't kill me at all which removes a lot of tension i feel.

Oh I acknowledge that it's super more effective.. just kinda seems a bit boring to do.
But hey, I figure if the game lets you do it, it's fair game. It's not like there isn't other ways to play, I suppose.

The goal of playing a game is to have fun. You don't necessarily need to use the most efficient way of playing.

Honestly, if I'm playing efficiently it's usually because I don't want to play the game.

Is the only thing I miss out on if i don't pre-order the pc version the valve thing?

Valve thing and those pod skins.

i'm 95% quests cleared but i'm not sure if the 5% covers the reconnaissance squad alone. it seems i'm missing one more quest but i couldn't find it.
is it exclusive to 9s cos it shows i still have 1 more quest missing for him and i assume that's it besides that other 1 quest from shared.

>that main menu screen after true ending
Best couple.

fuck I want those for Grimoire Weiss

weiss is just a skin, no voice or anything

it actually looks worse because the animations you use when gliding with it and scanning stuff are made for the actual pods not the book, your hand doesn't even touch Weiss while you're gliding with it

okay thanks, then I will just wait until release

Beat C or D route, unlock chapter select and browse chapter select to see where you missed it.
