    To clear up some confusion: NieR Replicant originally came out in 2010 in Japan. Another version with an older protag, NieR Gestalt, released in Japan, NA & EU. Since we only got Gestalt, it was just called "NIER." Same game, different protag age & relationships! #nier #ニーア #nierreplicant

    Playtested my Signalis RPG with 2 players, 1 who knew nothing about the game and one who had finished it. I made them play both the Gestalt playbook (which helped the unfamiliar player). And it went pretty well overall, would have been even better if I had slowed down a bit more the pacing.

    Don't have very many, but I love them all to bits... There's LSTR-315, just as stuck in the cycles of guilt as the game Elster, except far older and more jaded about things... she also is fighting her eldritch-horror turned Gestalt who wishes to be whole with her again.

    I tried. A little. Definitely could push it more. Probably will, later. This is Gestalt ( 28, Irish wolfhound ) my Dungeon Game character. A scholar who was expelled from his last university due to picking a fight with his professor. Also possession of illegal firearm. ( just one )

    I think it’ll fall into the Silent Hill 4 category for me. A game I end up ruminating over and ultimately really liking ( loving even! Ilu henry so much), but not a game I enjoy playing Considering tho Siren and Nier - Gestalt are also in that family, good company!

    Adler is actually the character who got me into Signalis. I read the Sun = Adler's Gestalt theory and found it so angsty I ended up actually getting into the game. Plus, Adler's a little cutie. And a failmale. And a pen fanatic. He's right up my alley.

    I am fucking destroyed. No game had me crying like this since both NieR Automata and Gestalt, I am a changed person. Generational game, once in a lifetime experience, calling it a 10/10 would be offending it. Art cannot be graded by numbers. This was pure unadulterated art. Simple as that.

    Thousand Arms. Beautiful quirky game back when fanservice was cool. Nier Gestalt. I loved the battles because I could actually play them. Then the series became AAA combo dodge shit. Only bad part of Gestalt was Kainè getting mildly censored in the west.

    For me Nier Replicant is a good illustration of my feelings around remakes. On the one hand it's performance is better than the original and it's less clunky but also the clunk was always meaningful in that game and frankly they chose the worse version of the story to remake by not remaking Gestalt

    The Gestalt is such a cool concept for a potential future enemy type that I would love to see it in the next game. Hunters are already feared for their strength, so a smaller Hunter in the shape of a Spartan could make for interesting Mirror Boss encounters.
