Playing as this little faggot now and it sucks. Is it necessary to do all the side content AGAIN?

Playing as this little faggot now and it sucks. Is it necessary to do all the side content AGAIN?

Same issue, I lost interest badly when I got forced to play as 9.

Side quest progress carries over from the previous route.

He has specific quests for his playthrough and all those chests you can now hack into. But I get the feeling the whole time I was him I was longing for 2b. But those hacking games are fun

The game is only good for the first run as 2B and the third as A2. The 9s part is fucking trash and almost made me stop playing the game. Hacking is boring as fuck in this game.

You dont have to do any of the side stuff as anyone

lol /thread
that's why it's called side content

9S is cute. CUTE!

This. If you enjoyed 2B's butt but not 9S' you're a shitlord.

>Is it necessary to do all the side content AGAIN?
Why are you asking retarded questions when the game has a fucking QUEST LOG where you can check for yourself?

Is this game worth buying for the cute boy?

Yoko Taro can’t write, he can only emotionally manipulate. Yoko Taro does not write stories about characters. He writes vignettes where mechanically precise cosmological forces terrorize helpless children and the children sobbing uncontrollably as it happens. Sometimes the children are literal, like the machines, and sometimes they are children in adult bodies like Nier and 9S. But they have no agency or ability to change their situation and we are treated to lengthy cutscenes of them crying all the same.

These are not stories. They are nihilist anti-stories. Their value only comes from the crass manipulation of emotions involved in seeing cute and charming things suffer.

(At least until Ending E which is such a goofy tonal about face that it rings of Square execs pulling Taro aside and saying "Dude! Seriously!")

Hear hear!

...

He's literally the best part of the game aside from 2B's booty.

Same. Liked the game but didn't like playing as 9S, that hacking shit got tiresome and old really quick, dropped it about 1/3rd in the 2nd playthrough.

But he's literally the main character. This is HIS game.

I did not enjoy nier automata nearly as much as i expected/hoped but 9S was my favorite part of it

I was glad it let me pick who to play during the final throwdown

>literally the ONE OF 3 main characterS. This is ALSO his game
FTFY

What is wrong with 9S fags? Holy shit.

Yes

9S is the main character of this story, if you dislike him you may as well drop it, he steals more than 50% of the entire gameplay.

2B dies halfway and A2 doesn't get as much focus as the other characters, 9S is the only character you play for both halves of the game so if you had to pick the most main character it would be 9S.

>having more screentime somehow makes a character more important
What kind of baby logic is this?
All the main characters are equally as important, even if some of them die early. In fact, the character's death might be more important than if they stayed alive.

It isn't baby logic its simple math, 9S has more screentime which means he has more actions within the story which means he is more important to the plot, 9S was of equal to importance to 2B in the first half and on top of that he gets an extra half of the game, pretty much everyone agrees that he is the main character, saying they are of equal importance is just objectively false.

9s actually has the most character development in the entire game.

Get a spear and rape robots harder than 2B.

spear

i'd love to see you guys play the first game

9S' prototype is what started the game events to begin with, 2B's entire motivation over the course of a game is to survive the war and be together with him, N2 is hinted to have some yandere-like feelings for him, he's the one who ultimately closes this game. He's a Nier of this game, a main character for sure.

what do you mean by that

Route B is better than Route A, fuck off

I want to fuck 9S and see his little uncut dick bounce around!!

You have to play the second half of the game 4 times and collect all weapons to get all the endings in the first game. Automata route B crybabies have it easy

How many 9ses has 2b killed?

but gameplay is still the same as route A unlike 9S, which is the main issue at hand

I'd love to see they try their hands on Drakengard 3.
This is baby level compared.

drakengard 3 is fun and all the different endings actually have different scenarios and somewhat differing stages

hurry up and learn to heavy attack with 9S
and get the FFXV sword so you can flashstep

The same number of 2B you fight in the Tower.

If that game ever gets a port or remaster I am going to take great pleasure in watching Automata fags cry at the Branch D rhythm game

it's not hard as long as you don't rely on visual cues however the last note has no reason to exist

>But he's literally the main character. This is a SHIT game
Fixed

It depends on whether you have a good sense of rhythm or not and considering it's a musou game majority of the players including me don't

this game would've been better with 2 more weapon loadouts to switch on the fly. there is some depth to the combat, but the way it is makes it clumsy and impractical to use.

that may be true, I can play rhythm heaven with my eyes closed so that might have helped

Why are route A and B two different routes? They could have used character switching like C and D.

No, they couldn't, it would completely fuck up the pacing and the way game unveils more info about the characters and the world.

>fun
a musou game stops being fun after 20 hours of the same moveset, though.
I still have major stockholm syndrom over it, playing it in one go wasn't a good decision

So the only way was to make players play the game twice?

9S is literally the reason the whole game happens. Are you fucking retarded?

That's actually 2B

every weapon type had at least three different movesets though

No, fuck you, that's stupid. This is just as bad as when Ass Cred pads out their games with terrible repeated content.

There's enough differences for those playthroughs to stay fresh, especially if you do side quests, 9S' side quests are easily the best ones in the entire game as they are less about fetch questing and more about exploring machine minds and seeing their society from inside, with some extremely cute and fun moments like that super-advanced machine pretending to be retarded.

Do you have ADHD?

No, 9S' prototype model literally kickstarted Project YoRHa

Did you miss the entire story?

Not only Number 9 is responsible for the entire game events, in-game 9S is responsible for saving 2B so many times it's embarrassing.

9S has completely new side-missions, also any you completed in route A stay completed, and any you didn't finish on route A you can now do again in order to finish them properly

also they will add new cutscenes into progression areas you are replaying to give them a bit more life
for example, 9S get's exclusive cutscenes for the opera robot and the forest kingdom, both of which tell their backstory and are really interesting

Couldn't they be in just one single route?

Why didn't they just make those collectable database entries? Maybe as rewards for certain sidequests that take place in their respective areas, like the Forest King sidequest or the Game Developer one instead of the game abruptly interrupting the gameplay.
