This game looks incredible at times. I didn't play the first so I don't know how it can evolve, but, I feel like I have been playing a tutorial for over 2 hours now. Does it pick up?
I got 6000 tokens easily from doing treasure hunts, but I gave up on the gem grind when I realised that 60,000 was for one trophy and the trophy for upgrading all powers would require much much more (like 27,000+ more iirc).Must have missed the community skyboat 'cause of all the challenges and photos I uploaded last night, only one has received feedback and it was the gimmie challenge I threw up when I was still finding my feet. Token grind is gonna be real.
The biggest issue with stealth is auto fail.
Auto fail is dumb in any game. If I fail, let it be due to running out of health.
100% agree, and some you can. The ones where you can fight back are genuinely funI said it before, but it should be like Uncharted 4, where you have the option to be stealthy, but if that fails, you just go ham with your gravity powers.

Yeah the treasure hunts seem to be my main source of tokens, getting 4 or 5 a day. Some of the photos people take are awful though, especially the big high rise city map. Give me a chance fam, we're all friends here.Don't worry about that too much. Just do what you're given each day and remember to send challenges every single time (even if you did kinda poorly), and you should be fine.
It helped that I played gradually enough (~2 weeks?) that the daily stuff really added up, but I never at all had to grind beyond trying to do all that stuff each day. I had more than 6k by the time I was done the game. And once you beat (most of) the story they're nice and you actually get more per day it'll be easier to mop things up then.
And if a treasure hint is bad, try not to spend too much time on it. Quit the mission and restart it; you might get a better starting location that's close enough to get the beeps immediately. Worst case just drop it for good.
The grinding is tedious and the gem sound is stuck in my head forever now, but it also took me only like 3 hours to get to 87k despite starting at like... 35-40k, I think? It's fairly fast.
I platted the original Nier a few months back so this was absolutely nothing in comparison.
I don't doubt I could get it done in a few hours, but it was going so slow and I was so bored, and I started wondering, why am I doing this? It's not fun. And there are so many other games to play. I've been trying to stop playing games past the point of enjoyment for trophies lately. It's really hard to learn to let go of games when you're no longer enjoying them because of the gamer compulsion to collect.

Challenges seem to go; upload your own, only the bad ones get attempted and beaten. You're sent a challenge; it's a worldie score, lol.
Yeah I'm exaggerating a bit tbh, just salty cause I posted a few great scores and nobody attempted them haha. Got gold on 10 out of 12 or something rn so it's going alright.
Aware I'm complaining a lot in here so disclaimer I'm enjoying this game a lot, but holy fuckin shit was the introduction to jupiter style level hot garbage, I think that's the first time a section of this series has been straight up Bad. Camera rip.
Oh, you're kinda further in than I expected then.
And yeah, that section is outright terrible, to the point I'm surprised someone could look at it and think it was acceptable and not worth opening up the level a bit.
I played my first stealth mission last night, it was a side mission, Shadow something, but there was a reporter that needed me to take pictures of a shady deal. Yikes that was hard. Sneaking around the ground troops isn't a problem but those flying guys can see out of the back of their head. It took me a few tried just to learn that those guys have crazy vision cones or radius I should say. I ended up getting it after 10 or so tries but damn, I am not looking forward to any more stealth in this game
Up to 600 Dusty tokens just doing the Treasure Hunts, which I thoroughly enjoy. I only got 1 where the picture was bad but the rest have all been great. I had to quit that bad one and it still irks me.
Hmm I just recently started playing this and got to the part where they introduce the city underneath, and this game sure loves giving a much of side quests. Some of the quests don't even mark the characters for you on the map, so I think I'll end up just skipping them and just focus on the main story. I don't think I'll miss anything though since a majority of the side quest that I did so far just seemed liked filler doing random stuff for people. And I don't even think you get gems for completing the missions. :|
3 times now I've been sent a sliding race 2 challenge that's like 19 seconds, when gold is 50. I can get 33 with jupiter but what fresh bs is this?
And miss me with your behind the scenes challenges, worse than black eagle.
Choe!
That's a shame. I agree I think the game could be better but I feel it is definitely an improvement on the first in many ways. To me, my enjoyment of the game far out weighed the negative aspects though it was certainly hard to see this coming from the first few hours I was playing.I don't personally think this is an improvement over the first game. Kat deserves better, she's such a good character.
It's definitely improved in some areas, Vita rush was far from flawless, but I think the first game had more charm, and the character motivations made more sense which made for a better story. A lot of 2 is Kat repeatedly taking shit and then just nice-ing it out, she doesn't really grow at all as a character, which lends to it falling a bit flat for me, since the story doesn't offer much. It had some fun moments, but a lot of the gameplay decisions constantly made it a chore, especially in combat, you're not often given free reign to just revel in your abilities.That's a shame.

Perhaps my enjoyment of the first game is a little less since I only played the original vita version and not remastered.
I'm not sure how well it would hold up coming from 2 and remastered, the controls especially for gravity slide were pretty bad, and the game looks so much better on PS4 (I've not played remastered, though).

I will confirm that indeed the controls for the gravity slides are quite annoying/bad on vita and it's the reason why i never could plat the game.I'm not sure how well it would hold up coming from 2 and remastered, the controls especially for gravity slide were pretty bad, and the game looks so much better on PS4 (I've not played remastered, though).
What does that 6000 Dusty Token Talisman do? It's called Unlimited Potential or something like that, is it unlimited Gravity Gauge or SP?
It's unlimited Gravity Gauge at the expense of attack power.What does that 6000 Dusty Token Talisman do? It's called Unlimited Potential or something like that, is it unlimited Gravity Gauge or SP?
