pretty much a perfect score for an unpaid review

Already played and got all the 27 endings. Game is a masterpiece and I'm astonished it is getting so high reviews being a Yoko Taro game.

I agreed with the review about the cast of characters though. The original Nier had a better cast. A2 is Nier: Automata's only interesting protagonist. She even has a better ass than 2B.

GET FUCKED WEEBS

/thread

not giving it an outright 9 (which is reserved for AAA paid reviews) is pretty much perfect for unpaid reviews.

>BLACKED.com

I want to stick my tongue/dick in there.

christ

If Toobee is only playable for the first half of the game, why are all the trailers and screenshots of toobee. Isn't this false advertising? After I beat the game, can I replay it just using toobs?

>niche japanese game

>8.9
Are you trying to imply that 8.9 is bad for such a game?

but Horizon sold more

>that nose

Oy vey

>Review didn't score individually

9.0+ is reserved for paid reviews

I feel like 8.9 is the highest mainstream rating a Taro game has gotten yet, though maybe an early Drakengard game beats it.

A cheap ass controller means you buy two controllers

JUST
inb4 easy allies 4.5/5

>complains about the story
Wow, did she even play the entire game?

I wish bAe2 was playable for 100% of the game.

*takes a whiff of the air*

Ahh, Sonyfag butthurt.

>unpaid
If it's Platinum they get 7s at best unless paid.

She's not wrong, the protagonists in Automata are pretty dull. Nier has a better cast.

xD

>game they haven't played gets 8.9
>They stop calling 10 longer paid review
>it's now 9
Fucking pathetic.

>xD
Just kys

>27 endings
that sounds like a slog desu

Not in retrospect, after finishing all the endings. Which is why I asked in the first place.

An 8.9 is bad now?
The original nier got like a 7 from IGN and it was fantastic

>Game is a masterpiece, but lacks negroes and ugly women 5/10

>Original nier was fantastic

7 is considered a bad game.

The modern 1-10 scale is actually a scale from 6 to 10, with 6 being terrible and 10 being paid or just an amazing game.

>Not in retrospect
Bullshit. You're beyond full of shit. 2B and 9S are dry as fuck and it's more obvious upon retrospect. The supporting cast and A2 are the only interesting characters.

Wait, 27? There's an extra one?

Who's /DAYONE/ here?!

I DID IT FOR MY WAIFU, Toobee

Japs said the game is great.
I'd rather trust the opinion of many players than some literally who.

Does Automata have costumes & other unlocks or a new game+?

BOTW is really that boring huh?

I fucking love Nier but 7-8 score for it is perfectly justifiable.

>They stop calling 10 longer paid review
What?

Honestly, I think number scales for rating games is something incredibly bad.
Nier gets 8.9 and let's say the new Madden get 9.2. Does this mean that it's objectively better to play the latter?
Trying to put incomparable products on one scale altogether seems very wrong.

I'm not saying it isn't. I understand why it got a 7 but I still would say it's a great game

>listen to the review on the channel
>I had a hard time getting into the characters because they didn't really show personality early on

Confirmed not finishing the game.
Confirmed not understanding the fucking story structure that 2B's cold attitude and attempts at indifference aren't incompetent writing but deliberate attempts to keep her character consistent

2017 is going to make up for 2015 and 2016 being so boring for games, right?

BLACKED TWICE

Normally I would agree, but there needs to be some succinct way to convey the level of quality and polish of a game.

Even with that, there is still little depth to 2B and 9S outside of "I have romantic feelings for a co-worker". It's very shallow.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Pathetic

>2B has likely killed 9S over and over and over prior to game start
>dry af
All her actions and interactions with 9S become much more interesting after you get to know her true role.

>they didn't really show personality early on

IF THEY DON'T SCREAM IN HAPPINESS IN THE INTRO CUTSCENE THE GAME IS GARBAGE AND THE CHARACTER HAS NO PERSONALITY

-1 POINT FOR THAT! AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT!

Man, blacks get the best girls :^(

>Yoko Taro game breaking over 70 across the board

HERE WE GO BOYS

read It's nothing special and incredibly straight forward. Shallow.

Reviews exist for people not interested in doing their own research
>why are these people on a video game board
Numeric values exist for people who can't be bothered reading video game reviews
>why are these people on a video game board

Let me tell you why: free (You)s

That's too generous tbqh

>IGN prostitute
>junkie skin
>Best girl

user, I...

Literally tons more personality and characterization than western AAA trash and my favorite game of all time is VtMB. It's annoying that America and Canada got cucked to hell. Only East Europe and Japan are left.

>little depth
>I am an Android forced to live a lie. I exist only to monitor potential threats to mission and eliminate them. I have does this many times before. I destroy enemies and allies alike and yet I am still able to develop connections with people are am being forced to kill again and again
>I am an Android that is the latest model. I believe I am smarter than I am, but the irony of everything is that I am the one being led around like a fish on a hook by almost everyone

>take one character trait
>"this is all her character is"
sure thing senpai

>Platinum game breaking over 70 across the board

FTFY. No one knows who yoko taro is.

>yoko taro
Drakengard 3 is so bad that no one ever bothered to finish the game 3 times to see the meme endings

>muh reviews

My point is it's shallow and boring as fuck for a Taro character. The original Nier's cast shits on them. No one said anything about how shitty western storytelling is in games. Eat shit.

Ayyyy LMAO, the defense force comes. 2B and 9S are dry protagonists. At least 2B has a nice ass.

>The original Nier cast shits on them

MUH YONAH
MUH DICK/SHADES
MUH SKELETON

>b-but cucked western games
embarrassing

ITT: Nintenbros and PCbros

>shitting on muh niggah Professor X
Fuck right off.

Any of you fags live in California Near, Long Beach? I know a spot that had the game. I got it there Friday been playing since. It's fucking awesome, currently on my second playthrough.

story =/= characters

Also Weiss is the only good character. Banter does not equal character development or qualities, its just banter.

NieR is a literal neandrathal who wants his daughter back.

Emil is shota medusa, and is in automata, so he's irrelevant to your argument.

Kaine's entire character is that she's possessed by a dick, literally and metaphorically. Nothing else.

>MUCH NICHE TITLES
If Automata got a 60 you would call it amazing character development.

Normally I would agree with you, but you're such a faggot that after typing this out I've realized that Automata actually has better characters.

Banter =/= Character Quality =/= Story

>Living in the most marxist and pro-trans filthy degenerate place on earth after Sweden

Back to fucking neogaf. This is not a blog and not a "let's meet xD" website.

Already completed it with all main endings

Ask me anything

Just enjoy the game stop paying too much attention to the story
it doesn't matter.

And all of those are more entertaining and interesting concepts than "I like my co-worker".

>89 metacritic so far with 36 reviews

Honestly better than I thought. I loved Nier but I wasn't disillusioned enough to think that critics would appreciate a sequel.

I'm honestly just happy the game was made in the first place.

Welcome to 2 weeks ago nobody cares

Neir has better story than Automata
what are you shitposting about?

That's not a question

*I like my coworker that I have to murder on a regular basis

You know there's actually more after ending A :^) it tells you this actually. You'd know if you read the screen.

Wtf is this dude even trying to say?

At least some people will now, with some of the stranger reviews calling him out as some sort of legendary genius and comparing him to Shakespeare, Welles, and Da Vinci.

Of course a lot of people, including Yoko Taro himself probably, will be giving all the credit to platinum, I just hope they at least look into who did the story.

Fuck you Faggot. How dare you associate me with fucking faggots. I don't even live there, I drove there you faggot I'm from the hood nigga.

And she's only bent out of shape for having to murder him because she has feelings for him. 2B's crush on 9S and 9S's crush on 2B is the only thing that provides "drama" to their situation. It's mediocre highschool tier bullshit. It's boring.

I like that a Yoko Taro game is doing so well but I'm not really that pleased with all the attention is getting.

Depends on a game.
You can't say that story never matters for any type of a game, there are CRPGs that run entirely on good stories.

Why would you ever give something 0.1 off a full number. Numerical review scores are already retarded without adding decimals too

>It's mediocre highschool tier bullshit.

What's it like to have never had a girlfriend user?

>2B/E's job was to kill other yorha units
>they just keep coming back because they have a million different bodies and keep backing up

Pretty ineffective really? I think I missed the point I need help

That releasing a game that close to the most anticipated title of the year is suicide in terms of sales.

In the last couple of months we've had

>The Last Guardian
>Nioh
>Yakuza Zero
>Horizon: Zero Dawn
and now Nier

Sony, wanna slow down on the triple A games for a few minutes?

>implying
OdinSphere does love drama better.

So this is the end of comfy Taro threads? Was good while it lasted.

>releasing a game on a console with 50 million customers is suicide when released near a game that's only available on a new console and a dead console

Welcome to the plight of Demon's Souls fans. Popularity can ruin online interactions about a lot of things.

But Zelda is the best game literally ever made.

We can talk about Drakengard if you want.

Why do you think Taro named a stage play and the main force of the game YoRHa when that's what the name of the unit who sang the soundtrack for Drakengard?

Sup Forums is just in a constant state of infighting now that Switch released with a good game.

...

ohhhhhhh boy these fools don't know comfy do they user

those were the fucking days, i remember chatting shit about it before they even confirmed localization, thinking it would never come, etc.

those and pre-V metal gear threads were my shit
