Is this going to be one of THOSE games?
Perhaps you should play the game rather than posting on Sup Forums.
So try it again without fucking up. Learn how to quickly heal.
git gud faggotto
>Oh haha that wacky yoko taro
cringe
"haha he's so crazy and weird right?!!"
it's a meme game for people who dedicate themselves to memes such as
It's literally just the prologue, stop whining, faggot.
Whats up with most automata threads starting as bait and then turning into actual discussion?
Why did you cringe and then do the same thing you cringed at?
I wanted to try it too?
>dying in the prologue
Kill yourself, this game is obviously too hard for you
I'm feeling like a faggot but that's my case exactly, because this is the game I bought a controller for, and being used to decades of kb+m playing using this contraption short circuits my brain. But I'm getting better.
The heals in the prologue are auto-use
You have to just stand there and take every single hit to die
But Drakengard 1, 2, 3, and Nier are all controller exclusive games.

What in the fuck
How the fuck do people die on the fucking tutorial. Just mash R2 to be invincible.
At least you didn't have white screen bug and have to restart the game 20+ times until you finally found a solution that worked.
That opening cutscene is burned into my mind now
>One of those games?
One of those games where you don't get your instant gratification? Yes. If you can't handle a game fucking with you in a way that you see as an "inconvenience" then Nier is not for you.
>But muh Platinum games
This is not a Platinum game. It's a Nier game.
Using your car metaphor, it would be like switching from stick to auto or the other way - problematic at first.
After you beat the first level why not make a wearable Emil head?

one thing is certain: i'm rooting for you!
I started on Hard and the first mission took me a few hours.
The only buttons you need to press are X and RT
Or play on Hard/Very Hard where bosses one-shot you from full health and you don't even get a chance to heal.
OP isn't doing that.
I died to Engels the first time because I was just trying to run around his attacks instead of just spamming dodge. Don't do that.
Then he should feel bad.
I don't think so, the game is clunky and awkward enough to play on normal. Playing this on hard would just be masochistic.
The heals are auto-use. As long as you have a potion you will not die, except on VH.
I don't get why they needed to make lockon such ass. It's not as though platinum don't know how to make useful lockons.
I've been playing on Hard. Once your health hits 0 you're done unless you have a chip that revives you. Auto-heal does not kick in when you die and bosses can kill you from full health in the prologue.
What is this "lock-on" you speak of?
Because the only way to get replies is to post something that is wrong or frustrating
There is no lock-on for hard mode.
If you're playing on hard, take the opportunity to remap the controls to put something useful on the lock-on button so you don't just have an unused shoulder button, like weapon switch. Not that weapon switch will do you any good in the prologue.
You lost on the opening level?
Git gud faggot
>not using bare fists
youtube.com
But yeah, I probably should do something with that unused button.
I have never, ever seen someone complain about the prologue until the PC release.
Now this complaint is being spammed all over Sup Forums and it's really getting out of hand.
Where have you been? People were complaining all over the place since the start.
PCfags being shit at video games is not a joke.
I've been here. On Sup Forums. Every day, like usual. I've never seen anyone bitch that they couldn't save during the prologue and I haven't heard any complaints either, especially since the beginning shits healing items at you far more than the rest of the game, and you start off with an auto-heal chip.
Keep getting better
Once you've graduated play Metal Gear Rising: Revengence.
>game comes out on PC
>suddenly more threads bitching about prologue
>more troll threads with generic complaints "this game is edgy" "this open world sucks" "you guys only bought this game for the ass"
>comfy nier threads are no more
Really activates my logic circuits
I've seen a few good threads over the last couple days. You gotta be around at the right time. Thread that start off being about drakengard threads are also good bets.
So, guys. I finished A route in 12 hours, and B route in 6 hours for 18 hours total. I was pretty side quest happy in A, but in B I only did ones that were convenient. How much longer have I got until the end of E?
If you do lots of sidequests in Route A, especially if you do all or most of the sidequests available in A before moving on, route C will probably be about as long as B, unless you go FULL completionist including fishing encyclopedia and unit data and the superboss in route C, then it'll be at least as long as A.
Yup, Sup Forums refuses to admit it though because they're enormous hypocrites.
yoko taro is japanese toby fox
>Completely ignore the 3rd person action genre
Yeah ok
Not that user but are you supposed to do all the sidequests you can in route A? I'm like level 17 but I can access sidequests that put me up against level 30+ enemies, and if there's anything I've figured out on Hard it's not to fight enemies that are 15 levels higher than you...or am I supposed to fight enemies that are 15 levels higher than me? I dunno, I don't know what to make of that.
Literally what about it?
An ARPG is an RPG :^)
It has some similarities to undertale, but you ignored a large chunk of the game
It is an axiom of imageboard culture that a thread is more likely to evolve in the opposite direction of the OPs intention, i.e. a dedicated shitpost thread is, depending on the topic, more likely to evolve into actual discussion than a thread supposed to actually discuss the matter.
How you tackle them will probably be different on hard. I was able to do the parade escort quest, for example, on route A even though it was tough as shit, but I was playing on normal, and I did have to come back to it a little later in the route than when it unlocked.
Won't look my way won't look my way won't look my way won't look my way won't look my way won't look my way won't look my way won't look my way won't look my wayyyyy
Will you
Look
My
Way?
>too
Can't even spell right lmao
Hey what do you think about the human condition?
"too" is correct there.
>went afk during screen brightness adjustment
>after beating the game and 9S do maintenance on 2B it's a recording of when I went afk
>have to wait hours until I can play again
Fuck this.
SCREW YOU
If you can damage the enemies to the point where it doesn't take 10 minutes to kill them. Some quests are better left for a 2nd playthrough however. I'm sure you'll figure out which ones.
Its the same thing that happens with Bloodborne threads.
>The 2handed sword baseball swing combo with the combat bracers is rng
The fucking absolute madman.
You can skip you know
Or you could, you know, skip the cutscene or wait for it to automatically end because 9S stops you after a certain period of time has passed in the settings.
why the fuck do character designers give their characters fucking moles
are they retarded? why would they purposefully ruin a char's face for no reason by smearing shit all over it
don't worry user, if the game's too hard just put it on Easy
Proposal: Don't die in the tutorial level.
Is there any decent SFM 2b porn yet?
Ah yes, another "I DIED DURING THE TUTORIAL!! UNINSTALLING!" thread. Try again faggot.
I'm not sure what your point is.
Undertale was good and so is N:A
I'm mashing the buttons but nothing is happening.
Play the first mission on normal. Alot of the shit the first boss does when in its last phase will basically one shot you like its very hard. Its not worth the trouble.
People forget Nier 1 hard was even worse though. Bosses took forever to kill because the life boost was fucking insane and did somewhat more damage.
Games with difficulty sliding rarely do difficulty right. Since they can be super bullshit at will since there is always the option to lower it. Games where you have to pick and stick with a difficulty all game are often more satisfying because each difficulty has to be different. Atleast in the good ones like Ninja Gaiden Black.
Automata was still amazing though.
>final fight in the game is against credits
Because to get responses you have to lure people into the thread.
If you saw two threads like this
>I really like [your favourite game] and enjoy XYZ mechanics and gameplay features. Let's have a discussion about the game and lore.
or
>[Your favourite game] is shit, I couldn't beat the first boss because it was so shit and here is a factually wrong statement about the game.
Which one are you going to open?
>Game borrows this shit and does it better
>WOW HYPOCRITES FOR HATING OTHER GAME THAT DOES THAT SHIT AND IS SHIT
Nice. Its like two games that have a dodge roll and you shit on one meaning you can't like the other because of it.
If you were mashing any buttons at all you would see a "Hold ____ to skip" line in the bottom right of the screen. Don't know what the button is for PC, but for ps4 it's O to skip.
>final fight in the game is against credits
Sans is not the credits
Well might aswell post this here then since my thread about this is getting no replies
thoughts?
"WAAAHHH WHY DID I DIE ON THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY OF A GAME I DONT KNOW???! SHIT GAME!!1 REFUND1!1"""
TRAIN DLC CONFIRMED
You're absolutely correct but the way you're forming your argument makes you look like a bigger idiot than OP.
honestly just play the whole thing on normal. stuff randomly one-shotting you out of no where is retarded. and it's not like the combat is any more demanding on hard, stuff just takes longer to kill.
he's not forming an argument, he's laughing at idiots
ironic that he used an anime avatar to do it, but the point stands
>he's laughing at idiots
I think the point is lost when you make yourself look like a bigger idiot, though, don't you think? If you want to look civilized or more intelligent, you have to act the part.
>I'm PCMR and this is my first Taro game
I played it on hard, died a few times. Then set it on normal. Never died again. Balancing is kind of shit 2Bh
Still the best game I've played in a while
>If you want to look civilized or more intelligent
did you get lost on your way to reddit or something?
this is Sup Forums, we don't do that here
And D and E?
fail
D and E are just endings, not full routes. You get endings C, D, and E through Route C.
>tfw can't fap to 2B anymore after finishing the game
I can't believe how many people I've seen complain about dying in the intro.
I refuse to believe this many people are so fucking bad at video games.
Me neither but that's because I got psoriasis on my dick and getting erections is painful now.
Neat.
On one hand I kinda wish they gave more A2 story content to make her less shit.
On the other I care so little about A2 that "The rise of Bucket Bro and Mr. Hands" DLC would be much better
Actually liking 9s more than 2b.
>You get one shotted by the boss in the intro
>Cutscene plays
>gotta redo the whole part again
It's just people who refuse to play it on a easier difficulty
