Photomode update is epic, works perfectly and at a nano seconds notice with some game content tied to it plus some more free stuff I believe along with Neir paid DLC. God I hope there's a large expansion on the way, I need more already and I've still to do NG+.

As big of a fan I am of Neir A and wanna support Shift Up, I think I'll skip paying ten euro for some outfits. 

Last few bosses, or at least one, is Sekiro levels of difficulty. Inwonder how them leaning into that approach would have helped or hindered reception. It's probably already too difficult for some gaming journalists on normal.

The only point of these metascores are a dick measuring contest. Not worth stressing over.

They also tend to favour games with high demographic/lowest common denominator appeal, or obscure games that only get reviewed by those in their target audience. But semi-popular games built for a more specific audience tend to suffer - as, while they’ll get the high reviews from the target audience reviewers, they’ll also the mediocre scores from those who don’t really care about the game, or aren’t into the genre/mechanics.

A famous case: Shadow Hearts on PS2, which was poorly received because a number of sites and mags - mainstream sites like IGN, Gaming Age, Gamespit, and Next-Generation scored it in the 50s. But reviewers who liked historical RPGs, like RPGamer, scores it in the 95-100 range. Unfortunately, because all the mainstream sites and mags were reviewing it, the game averaged quite low, making it one of the most underrated games of the last 30 years. Had the game been less popular/hyped, it probably would have averaged significantly higher. 

I just posted on the other thread before seeing this. Yeah, I really want to support Nier crossover, but I dont want to pay just for outfits, especially if I'm not going to play anymore because I already beat the game. They just need to give us some reason to keep playing.

NG+ gives more outfits.

Does NG+ carry over camps? I'm missing one for the platinum. Also, if you continue with NG+ can you use cores you used for HP and Beta energy to continue to level up. I'm hesitant to end my first playthrough

Sadly, camps do not carry over, but all upgrades do. I got the camp trophy by finding one I missed in a desert. The ones in the dungeons are hard to miss. Deserts have some small ones that are easy to miss, and some are on top of buildings or behind a fence.

Yeah I unlocked three of the four free outfits last night. It was getting late, so I don't have time to roam the desert try to find the fish to unlock the fourth costume. I knew it would be like $10 for the NieR content. They have to pay Square Enix to use their IP.

The true endings boss gave me fits. The "fallen angel" was a walk in the park in comparison and she's wasn't exactly easy. Maybe cause I fought the mech first but the Elder Naytiba was far easier by comparison. I think the "fallen angel" was harder. Not sure what the spoiler policy is, hence my vague boss names.

You have to find all the camps again. I missed the one of the Eidos 9 camps on my first go around. You can continue to level up your Blood Edge, HP and Beta energy. It will eventually Max out. I Maxed mine out on my second playthrough. I speed ran the 3rd playthrough to get the platinum trophy. Outside of maybe 3 or 4 items in the databank, I had everything unlocked until the photomode update.

It's just Sony hate, it's a real thing. I'm just kidding. Am I?

Thanks. I'm missing one camp so I'll do a more thorough playthrough next time and then speed run for the last ending. It sucks that it's just one camp though and no idea where I missed it but since 8% of players have the platinum I feel hopeful I won't miss it if I count them out as I grab them in linear areas. Hopefully it's not on eidos 9 which I believe you need most of the collectibles to unlock. 

Great to know you can still grab the body cores cause I'd skip the platinum if I had to follow a guide for them.
