Will you still talk about Nier Automata in 7 years?

Will you still talk about Nier Automata in 7 years?

People barely talk about it theze days,mit's all shitposting about ass and goty

Its a robot stabbing simulator, not much to talk about since most wont understand or care about the story its got.

I feel like video games as a whole will be forgotten in seven years. I honestly don't know anyone who still plays them.

7 years later and we still talk about the original, and Automata is the better game. So yes.

It'll be an honorable mention but the first game is going to win out by anyone who isn't easily impressed by meta wank.

Dont expect any games with no depth in gameplay/multiplayer/big modding scene to last that long
You may talk about it in a list of good games, but there will be no longer any real discussion

How long until 2B gets into Smash?

Unless there's another Yoko Taro game out, yeah probably.

Probably only in reference when discussing NieR/Drakengard and true love.

>NieR
>not meta wank

Why do people pretend to be knowledgeable about games they haven't played?

Far better games coming out later this year.

Nobody discusses Drakengard except to bring up how shit it was.

And to be honest, Drakengard is usually otherwise only brought up when talking about NieR.

People still talk about Drakengard man

Drakengard

Automata will be fine.

Nier had it but it was nowhere near as heavy handed as it was in Automata. The game plays itself pretty damn straight for the most part.

People still talk about Gestalt even without a sequel in recent memory, so ya probably

i beat it a month ago and have mostly forgotten about it already. shouldn't have tried to compete with zelda and persona 5

>shouldn't have tried to compete with zelda and persona 5
?

They play nothing alike how could you make that connection?

It's better than both of them. Zelda is especially overrated as hell.

as in with release date

I think you need to go back and play NieR again (or probably for the first time).

I'll probably only think of it during a nostalgia fap. Which is the only value of the game in the first place

If all you're talking about is the Text adventure segments then you'll have to try harder than that.

Did we talk about any of the Taro games after 7 years from release?

Nier is still talked about. Drakengard occasionally because

>tfw you play Drakengard and its actually close to being the best game in the series
>tfw people think you're baiting

zelda is overrated by normies but automata is overrated by Sup Forums

true ending was dumb, side quests were a slog, combat was good but nowhere near as deep as a lot of you guys make it out to be. enemy variety wasn't very good, 90% of encounters are with the short stubby guys + some fliers or some of the taller ones.

the story was fine but i would have liked if it had a few more intense linear sections. and by that i mean parts like the BECOME AS GODS where you have to go through an extended story section instead of just running around as an errand boy in the open world where traversing the world is most of the quest (just like the side quests). A2's storyline was too underdeveloped. they should have expanded what you do as her more or just cut out the parts where you play as her entirely. Also would have been nice if B route had more diverging sections that were different from A route. Most of what's different is at the beginning and end, it needed more peppered in the middle.

so yeah, automata was good, but not the best thing ever. not even GOTY imo

I just got to the desert
When does this game get really good

I don't think you're baiting, I just quest your sanity. Even DoD3 is better.

>Even DoD3 is better.
Not with that shitty dragon combat.

I don't think anyone ever claimed the combat was super deep. By action RPG standards its very good but compared to straight action games it's mediocre. But unlike action games Automata isn't about just combat.

>true ending was dumb
I don't see how anyone could believe this. It's the culmination of everything the story was working towards. It's amazing how many people want a grimdark ending just because.

...

When the original's was even shittier? Yes. And let's not forget the ground combat in DoD, which is some of the worst in a 3D game.

The problem with Ending E is that it hits nice notes but the story obviously should've ended at D

If they really wanted a happy end so badly then they should've written a story that deserved one, but they didnt, and tried to bank it all on some meta trick.

>some of the worst in a 3D game

You haven't played many 3d games then. Perhaps you should develop your own opinion instead of endlessly regurgitating what idiots on Sup Forums like to pass as truth in their epic screencaps, filled with exaggerated bullshit?

Originals dragon combat was way better, not going to bother arguing that one.

Ground combat I can agree, but since it was basically The Wither 1 + musou I just rolled with it. Honestly all they need to do is make the ground combat less repetitive and you have a game that holds up pretty well. It's nowhere near as horrible as people meme it to be.

Yaeh, when the crack is finally out.

Probably.

I played the game years ago when I rented it from Blockbuster. It was shit, and a waste of a weekend. Despite my better judgment I bought a used copy after playing Nier because of the games being related. Guess what? It was still shit. It's a terrible game and only a handful of 3D games have been able to pull off a worse combat system.

it's such an asspull though

>uhhh so we kinda wrote ourselves into a corner...
>oh i got an idea
>the drones will just rebuild everything!

also, while i liked the idea behind calling for help from someone who sacrificed their save data to overcome the bullet hell, making the bullet hell an abstract fourth-wall breaking meta thing where you shoot the dev's name's in the credits was dumb. like it's not even clear what that's supposed to mean in the game (i'm sure there are 20 different theories but the game intentionally glosses over this because there's not really a good explanation). it feels cool in the moment, but in retrospect it feels like a dumb cop-out you can the use the excuse "oh its a taro game, you have to expect those kind of end game shenanigans" but that doesn't make it good IMO

You are not a clever person.

He's right though.

Never, you got meme'd

The game isn't bad but honestly hilariously overrated and you have to assume that the kids falling for the pseudo-intellectual story are no more than 16 years old and virgins. Though the standards for video game ''''''''''''''''''''''''''art'''''''''''''''''''''''''' have always been far lower than every other medium, so it's hard to tell who's being serious about this game.

and there's the classic "the ending great you're just a dummy and didn't get it!"

explain it to me einstein

Probably
It's been 7 years since the original NieR came out and people talk about it

The game asks if you want to try and make a better future for the protags. If you pick "yes" you fight and remove the developers from the narrative. Then you sacrifice your save file, removing yourself as well. The androids are now free to continue on with the possibility of a better future because their paths are no longer predetermined by outside influences aka the devs and the player.
Also sacrificing your save is the ultimate rejection of nihilism. The entire game has the characters locked in a seemingly pointless struggle but they persevere through it because they believe there is meaning to their actions. In the end we can choose to sacrifice our save for the purpose of helping another, giving meaning and purpose to what we've done.

Or something.

The theme of the game is finding personal meaning in the ultimate meaninglessness of existence. The developers crafted a story in which nothing anyone did over the entire course of the game made any difference. The actions of the three androids and by extension the player were meaningless. The actions of most of the machines you encounter throughout the game were meaningless on an individual level. The struggles of every single YoRHa member were meaningless. The over arching conflict between the androids and the machines is meaningless.

Route C is the nihilism express, but then when you get to the end and you are presented with the death of 9S and A2 the player can choose to not accept this. The player can decided that all of those things, even if lacking in greater meaning still hold personal meaning to them. Upon doing this the player then fights against the developers to wrest control of the narrative from them. You are doing exactly what 2B was talking about in her first lines of the game, killing the gods who condemned them to their cycle of pointless suffering and setting them free.

This is then followed up by confronting the secondary theme of the nature of humanity. The game presents thoughtless and meaningless bloodshed as the legacy of humanity and suggests that the never ending cycle of violence and suffering exists because of humanity's inherent selfish nature. 042 asks if the player if they want to delete their save and warns over and over again that it might be wasted or help a total cunt. There is no material reward for doing so, all content has already been presented and the player can just say no and move on but again they can punch through the pessimism of the developers and selflessly give up their save and potentially pass along the message of hope.

Considering I still occasionally mention games like No More Heroes 2 and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom it's certainly possible.

>the kids falling for the pseudo-intellectual story are no more than 16 years old and virgins.

What an amazing arguement m8
honestly best points eveer Zs. Evryne who has diffrnt tste is bat am i reet 8? YOUR spot on m8, SPOT on i cn rspkt tht m8!

Nce wk with the pic m8 really puts yur point acros

>automata is overrated by Sup Forums

This, and I fucking love Automata.

I think the reason the board loves it so much is because it appeals to all of Sup Forums's sensibilities, but as a game it has some noticeable flaws pretty much right from the get-go.

>tfw after Automata you're pretty much over "art games"
>now you just want games that actually function as games, and arent just vehicles for stories that take themselves way too seriously

Why would I? It's a movie game for weebs, no better than shit like Last of Us.

It's literally the greatest game ever made so I hope so.

Zelda is Zelda, a nintendo game. Considering only over 2m sold copies, this game's fucking abyssmal in its popularity.

Persona 5? 400 thousand. 100k off from what Nier: Automata has made not including steam.

THIS!
