Set the game on very hard, it's the only way.

An hour of playtime, including two bosses, before the game lets you save.

Also, playing the game five times because the devs are cunts.

The weight of the world.

Play it maybe?

>Also, playing the game five times because the devs are cunts

Literally false information

bad bayonetta with rpg elements

>Comparing it to Bayonetta instead of the first Nier game

try not to cry too much during route c

It gets really boring after 5 hours, and especially on the second playthrough.
That's right, the assholes makes you do an additional playthrough before you can continue the story.
With a shittier character too, I struggled to not fall asleep. It's bullshit.
Combat is quite literally just mash and dodge, story is just pretentious, far from good, the open world is empty and nothing to do in it, quests make you go back and forth ALOT so i'd just skip side quests completely if I were you, and not much enemy variety either. Especially with bosses, you know from a game like this I really expected intense and amazing, innovative boss fights, but what did we get? Same re-used bosses? Not just that, but in a fucking bullet hell mode. That's right, this fucking game doesn't even know what it's trying to be. The biggest chore were easily the bullet hell game modes, there was absolutely 0 fun in doing them.

Despite all this, I do hope you have fun, OP. Although I don't understand it, I know alot of Sup Forums did enjoy it for what it was. I, too, fully beat the game but it took me a month with short sessions due to how boring the experience was.

The vocal minority

This is a seriously good game if you invest the time into completing it fully. Avoid spoilers. Don't stop until ending E. Use chips to make combat easier. The soundtrack is godlike.

Lots of angst

it's a shitty disappointing action game with a tumblr tier story only neckbeards praise because they've never read a book and muh ass.

>dude philosophy lmao

Got boring very quick

>what am I in for?
JUST PLAY THE FUCKING GAME YOU STUPID NIGGER
I HATE FUCKS LIKE YOU

A pretty fun game with a decent story and an amazing soundtrack

Why does vee hate this game so much

Because it has hot girls in it so nobody can enjoy the game for any other reason

>normal is way too easy
>hard is one hit kill

This man got it right. I can only add that the ost is really great and I personally had fun with shmup parts.

Overrated shit where you won't give a damn about any of the characters.

Either you'll play all 5 endings in less than 5 sittings and rank it among the best games of the last decade or you'll get bored and drop it in 2 hours.

Really depends on if you care about more than MUHGAMEPLAY. Just go into remembering that it's not a Platinum game with below par combat, it's a Yoko Taro game that isn't janky as fuck.

Feels, lots of them.

Reminder that free will is the weight of the world, and you are condemned to have to use it to choose to make meaning exist in an ultimately absurd universe

...

Because people want to be contrarian to seem "cool" without having any actual complaints about the game without using buzzwords.

As seen by

Books are overrated. Especially "classics".

Just about to read this post what am i in for?

Because it was pretty popular when it came out so contrarians came.

Just read it faggot, holy fuck nu/v/ is the fucking worst wanting to be spoonfed everything

the first boss is a fucking bitch. if you fail first boss you have to do another halfhour to get to it

>5 endings in less than 5 sittings
That's like 8 hours a session.

how long did this take everyone on hard, no lying

took me 8 hours

Just read this post, did I like it?

...

I'm not being contrarian, and this guy sums up my feelings quite well on the game. if you want me to say something nice about it, it had great animation, and a pretty cool soundtrack ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OP here

>first ever Nier, Drakengard, etc game
>set it to hard mode
>get smoked by goliath
>have to start over
>fuck that shit
>put it to normal
>fucking cakewalk
>re set it back to hard

Am I doing this right?

7 here, the first boss was insanely hard when you die in 1 hit

No, it's shit

yes

>not doing the intro on very hard

play on normal if you're not a nip

>9S just wanted to be happy and get away from all the carnage
>2B is a murderer and blindly follows orders
>A2 seeks redemption in the end
>Pod 042 is the biggest bro in the universe
>Red Girl is a psychopath
>Jackass is a genius
>Pascal just wanted to think of the children

9S needed a hug through all of C/D/E.

>9S needed a hug through all of C/D/E
Wrong, IT WAS I who needed a hug through the whole thing

2B is the kindest soul in the game, actually.
It's not like she wants to follow orders, it's just all other options are even worse.
Her memories leave such a strong impact on A2 she stops blindly killing everything.
9S is a fucking Caim, Inuart and Gideon rolled into one character, the fuck you're talking about.

You could have hugged 9S and told him you were going to be there for him. Instead he went down the path of madness alone.

2B hates her job, knowing it always ends the same way, yet she continues to do it instead of rebelling. 9S only went Caim mode because the one thing he truly loved was murdered right before his eyes.

>yet she continues to do it instead of rebelling
Read side materials, she tried to kill herself long before the game events but was stopped by 9S who insisted that she would continue her duty as it's the only way for them to be together.
The only other option would be trying to desert but they would just be swarmed by E models.

>implying they wouldn't survive just fine

A2 has managed it for ages. Besides, running away isn't very hard by the time you hit route C.

>9S is a fucking Caim, Inuart and Gideon rolled into one character, the fuck you're talking about.
I want to refute this, but it's hard to.

I guess I wouldn't say he mucked anything up as badly as Inuart did. Inuart basically paved the path to Furiae's death from the start, and then turned her into a Lovecraftian horror. 9S was mainly just following orders until losing everything and everyone drove him over the edge.

A2 is unique, she's a prototype with a very powerful ability serial models lack. On top of that even she had near death experience on regular basis and only survived because of accumulated experience.
On route C you can make 2B and 9S run away, it gives you ending "only you and me" and even tells that they survive afterwards.

I'm aware, but it's obviously not the "true" ending. E gets that title. Thankfully E didn't fill me with rage like C did.

First prototype of 9S is responsible for the creation of project yorha to begin with.
He literally murdered his own creator who thought that this plan was too unsafe, made it completely inhumane by adding the whole backdoor plan and automated its creation, fully knowing that his next incarnations will suffer.
And while in-game 9S developed very differently thanks to his feelings to 2B, they still share base personality and it resurfaces when 2B is taken away from him

washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/vgm/d/nier-automata-for-sale-trade/6301651798.html

Can someone explain this part to me? He had like 15 2B's for him right there even if it was a hallucination or some shit.
Why would you treat your waifu like that? Was he THAT broken at that point?

Wasn't HIS 2B, and he was completely bonkers by that point.

Yes, he was utterly fucked up in the head at that moment.
Here's what is described by a novel:

When 9S saw the 2B copies, he thought that the machines were trying to mess with him again, like what they tried with 21O. They probably wanted to see him get killed by 2B; see his face twist in despair, watch him as he cries and screams, he thought.

Silly machines. Despair? Cry and scream? But why would I do that? When there are so many 2Bs right in front of me.

"I'm glad…I'm really glad to be meeting you here…"

I'm glad that 2B isn't walking around somewhere I don't know about. If it's here, I can reach her.
I tear off my visor. There's no need to hide anything. There's no need for extra information. I want to see directly. 2B's figure. The 2B that I can touch if I just reach out, reflected in these eyes, and then.

"All of you…"

I can't hold down my bubbling laughter.

"Because I'm going to destroy all of you!"

Making 2B models without permission? I can't forgive that. Breathing life into 2B models without permission? I can't forgive that. That's why, with these hands, I'm going to destroy them.
That's right. The only one who is allowed to destroy 2B is me.

"I'll shatter every last one of you into pieces!"

Because you're all mine. I won't hand you over to anyone. …Not even if it's to 2B herself.

He was thinking about wanting to **** hard right there

The game went full Casshern Sins at that moment.

Fuck me he REALLY had lost his shit

Ooh you

He was fucked by a virus and his memories of being together with 2B were the only guidance he had so being possessive of them and 2B in general is pretty understandable.
Side materials actually describe 2B going nuclear during Adam fight in yandere-like way too: she thinks that she will never forgive machines simply because they hurt Nines.

To this day, and I have finished the game twice, I can't understand why that Red Girl AI started butchering Pascal's village in Route C. Why robot started killing robots.

I also don't get if Adam/Eve/Pascal were actually disconnected from their network, or not.

If someone can explain, I'd be grateful.

best yandere couple

Pascal and all the machines in the village were disconnected from the network
Adam disconnected from the network when he started to fight 2B
Eve never disconnected

thats pretty fucking gay

N2 makes the robots eat each other to gather all of their data.
Adam disconnected himself when he faught 2B
Eve was always connected to the network
Pascal isn't connected to the network but i don't recall what caused him to disconnect.

>tfw 2B would never give a shit about you even if you're an actual human because she has 9S
Well at least I still have my wife Akko.

Oh thanks. And why N2 actually started that genocide crusade? Why was it gathering all this fucking data from his fellow robots? What did he want to do? At this point I might ask why did he taunt 9S that much and literally invited him to that big tower, as I guess the answer is one and the same.

>Robots
Stop.

N2 simply applied evolutionary pressure on that community to further understand humanlike concepts.
Pascal's entire community was built around the idea of pacifism and humanlike education. N2 was testing its limits and even Pascal, the most peaceful machine in the game, had his own breaking point, and his method of education had a huge, glaring flaw, resulting in mass suicide.

don't you guys love how insignificant Adam and Eve proved to the storyline? Before the game was released, people assumed they will be major figures/bosses, but no, they're literal whos

N2 didn't give a crap about the robots or the Androids. They were both a means to an end. N2's only goal was to use them both to evolve itself by gathering data on both as they fought and evolved.

It invited 9S more or less out of morbid curiosity assuming there really wasn't much he could do to stop their final plan.

the funny thing is there really isnt a central antagonist to automata. Maybe red girl, or 9S depending on perspective, but really who can be said to act as a major opposing force in the game.

Adam was a silly antagonist.
>I WANT TO EXPERIENCE HUMAN DEATH, PLEASE KILL ME YESSSSSS
I legit thought he was going to come back to bite me in the ass because the way he died was too easy.

>It invited 9S more or less out of morbid curiosity
No, it actually fucking fell for him in its own batshit crazy way.
Read Virtuous Grief's weapon story, it's about N2 and what it feels for 9S.
This is further reinforced by the last concert recital from Taiwan where N2 tried to personally fuck with 2B by making her think that 9S attacked her, but thankfully 2B sees through deceit and N2 fails to set them apart.

Great first playthrough, lame second playthrough, GOAT third playthrough + postgame. Enjoy user.

N2 and Yorha were to the point of being absurd. The machines had no directions besides kill humans/Android's. N2 reasoned that if that happened, it would have no purpose. It thus created an endless cycle of war and evolution. The Android's came to a similar conclusion once they discovered humans were extinct. They created Yorha as a false hope to give the Android's a reason to live.

Taro is basically saying we create our own God to give ourselves a reason to live.

>don't you guys love how insignificant Adam and Eve proved to the storyline?

That's Taro for you. Lets not forget what happened to 2B.
Or the door in the airship in DK1.
He loves to pull the ole' bait and switch.

Then again Adam was a bit of a fluke made by the machines out of desperation. You really can't expect much out of a guy wears a business tie as a bow tie.

Bodacious booty babe battling baddies bravely.

link to concert pls

6B?

Tight ass

Kek

Uh, wasn't N2 genociding both androids and robots because he planned to send himself and all the data to another planet and start anew?

Isn't one of the endings involving 9S traveling with Adam/Eve's data on that rocket together? I assumed N2 just had enough of this shit and wanted to leave.

That's one of the endings due to N2 realizing it must begin collecting data somewhere else. The other (superior) ending is N2 getting its bitch ass nuked, followed by ending E thanks to based Pod 042.

>that love story from the Nier thread last night
you think he was really telling the truth anons?

Gameplay: 7/10
Story: 9/10 (suffers from repetitiveness in B route but that's it
Music and atmosphere: 11/10
I don't recommend playing on hard, felt pointless to me. Don't look anything up. Glory to mankind.

that's a GTA5 screenshot user

>the game doesn't tell you about a bunch of things like 9S having a heavy attack or A2's dash
>PC version doesn't display the right button commands for mouse and keyboard

I know. A2 is pretty in any game

>like 9S having a heavy attack
w-what

she looks anorexic user what the fuck, i'd rather put my dick in 2b's plump robo ass

>Lets not forget what happened to 2B.
Man that was annoying. She was more interesting than 9S and A2

He has a heavy attack like 2B and A2. You need to hold the dash button down (seemingly only works if using a gamepad) and then press the heavy/hack button.

The game NEVER mentions this.

So he's literally a yandere.
9S is such a messily-written character.

The game hardly even has a central goal. You just kind of do missions until everyone dies

At that point he was just flat out insane. He genuinely loves 2B, and route C brutally fucked with his head.

>repeatedly has the nature of his expendable life and inhumanity shoved into his face over and over again
>the image of the dead woman he loves is weaponized and thrown against him as his mental state deteriorates

What do you think?

The YorHa project itself is the central antagonist.
