Buy nier automata

>buy nier automata

>kinda short
>oh there's multiple routes
>gotta play as this beta tw*nk

i bought this game to play as a qt, not some hacking shota

i felt the same way.

you're in for a hell of a ride OP

>he fell for the waifubait
9S is basically the main character. Have fun.

...

9S is a GOAT character though, and is also the real main character of the game, so you better get used to him. You also get to play as another qt later with a better moveset than 2B

>Motor oil is good for the soil
>Committing crime on the production line
Holy fuck my sides.

do you just play through the game again?

Just load your safe file and continue

Route B is pretty much the same as Route A, with a couple of new sidequests (which are some of the best in the game) and new cutscenes. Route B is different from the point where you get seperated as 9S, and is also shorter. Route C is completely different, and by far the best part of the game.

pretty much. you get some new cutscenes and a few different gameplay segments but it's mostly the same. route c changes completely though.

can confirm

22 hours wtf? I beat the game npt including side shit 8 hours after i got home with it, i was pissed. I know i didnt do the sidequests but even so i expected it to be twice as long.

I just wish the game would already drop, I want another game I can play with a controller.
And Im tired of a badly emulated Ratched and Clank 1

>there are people who don't read the giant fucking message after Route A to continue playing the game

How the fuck do you people feed yourself

there's plenty of games you can beat in 8 hours, hell another one of platinum's games, bayonetta, took me 8

>went in completly blind, internet blackout to avoid spoilers
>only knew there were 5 endings
>finish route b, expecting to play through the same part of the game again
>route c starts
>mfw

...

Just started 9S route

how do I kill shit, hacking takes too long and he deals way less damage than toob

Use 2B's big sword instead of the little sword on 9S, and just stay further away from things than you did as 2B. Also, get the chip that gives every one of your attacks a shock wave and rank it up, helps a lot.

Keep pushing for A2 in Route C.

Equip a spear. Hold attack button. Steamroll.

learn to use his heavy moveset my nigga
Strong attack out of a dash is how you access

Also
>spears
>crit chip build

you'll wreck face and never have to hack again

I'll save you some hassle.

Equip a spear. The Type-40 spear ideally - but any work.

All the spear default combos have massive range - and the holding-attack makes you throw the spear a massive range for massive damage (and pierces enemies).

You can them just spear-spam enemies for the rest of the game.

Hacking takes lit two seconds and does shitload, i pretty much just flew right through it.

I found that the dash spear attack is fast and damaging. Crit is the best stat in the game so use the usurper.

Equip all the crit chips you can
Equip Spear of the Usurper
Do the spear throw while you spam ranged attacks, preferably with Laser pod and the Bomb skill

>hacking takes like 5 seconds
>basically an insta-kill on most enemys

Consider hacking bigger enemies. Hacking is basically a huge nuke, the damage it deals is worth it.

fuck you

I came expecting Sup Forums's well renowned excellent taste in trap porn

I am disappointed

you sick fuckers are the reason I got into traps in the first place, don't leave me with blue balls

>YFW 2B's Kaine outfit has a bigger dick than 9S

sorry

git gud

This is the only 9S related image I have saved

I hate hacking to kill shit, after I got crit + usurper the game got fun again

awww yeahhh that's the shit

you fools, I work in the floor below yours. you will be fired, and I will be

PROMOTED

9s is perfect

>sneak hack enemy big flying circle thing
>take it as ally
>it spins around spamming friendly bullets everywhere

Alternatively
>hack enemy
>take control
>hack other enemy as that enemy
>repeat until you have small army
>self destruct and return to 9s

9s is honestly really OP if you use him right, even just the fighting with regular weapons if you stack crit chips because of all the multihit properties his moveset has
Which is also canon

I've played the game 17 hours so far and I've only just done side quests for pascal at the robo village

>tfw you find 2B's flight unit
>tfw you make her grave among the lunar tears
I didn't expect to get choked up by a game.

Did you buy the game for that? are you mentally ill or just retarded?

>taro gives us a game with literally a 14 year old kid android
>cheerful kid always looking up to 2B
>sympathizes with robot emotions and notices it right away.
>*fast forward through huge plot points*
>9S decides fuck all and goes full Cain

How did taro do it?

It really got me. I didn't give a fuck about A2, I just wanted to play 9S.
I didn't even think twice about choosing 9S in the end. I was completely immersed in his experience.

It's 9-Nuclear the game. Nobody should have fucked with him

>not wanting to play as 2b all game

2B dies.
Humanity is actually dead and hasn't existed for 7000 years.
YoRHA are part of a massive pre-scripted stage play that has the Bunker explode and YoRHA fall to ruins at a pre-determined time, killing everyone but 9S and 2B.
Pascal either dies or has his memories wiped after seeing his village burn to the ground and the children of the village kill themselves out of fear.
2B is actually 2E, Model 2 type Execution, designed to kill 9S because the 9S unit is extremely good at discovering hidden secrets, including the fact that humanity doesn't exist. She has done this at least a dozen times. 9S remembers every single bit of it because he's a crafty little faggot that hides each and every single piece of information he can in his room in the bunker and on the cloud storage system they have.
Modern YoRHA units including 2E and 9S are all made with Machine Cores in their circuitry, meaning that machines and modern YoRHA androids are very similar if not the same.
The machines can never actually win, it's pre-scripted by some unknown puppet master, possibly N2 aka the Council of Humanity voice that you hear every now and again, that machines never take the final step and just kill YoRHA before the scripted bunker explosion. This literally means that literally everyone was played like a fiddle for about 6000 years.
Yes I'm retarded and yes I'm an asshole, but so are you for going into a thread on Sup Forums about a plot-heavy game without having played the game.

you can. After you get all the endings, you literally just restart and free play as 2B
