Work & Play

Work & Play

Did a little bit of work and a little bit of play tonight. I’ve been doing my best to complete at least one scene in SFM per night, and tonight I decided to play a little more NieR Replicant to end the evening. It gave me an excuse to break in the monitor a little more. 🙂

I talked about the game a little at work today with one of my work buds. He’s only played the northern console version, which is actually the same game, but with Papa NieR as the protagonist saving his daughter, instead of Brother NieR trying to save his younger sister.

Both games are pretty much the same, with only the lead character being the only main difference (and a slight change of dialogue). Replicant was originally exclusive to Japan, and Gestalt was marketed towards the Japanese XBox 360 (which wasn’t very popular in Japan) and was known as the main protagonist to the rest of the western world. This game has a really interesting history.
