I'm ok with this.

>you will never listen to Sound of the End for the first time again

Best song in the entire game.

>same enemy type all game long

fuck this game is bad dude.

I mean if you want to kill yourself for liking horribly overrated tripe that only got any notoriety because of fanservice shit then be my guest.

>hearing this for the first time youtube.com/watch?v=CKOM3lNFajE

every day i think this
one day it'll be over

To play the next continuation.

Imagine having such poor taste that a 7/10 game would leave such an impression on you

what fucking world so you live in where a 7/10 is considered bad

Sold the game for me, when they put that much effort into a song for just some random robot

for nier 3: niers in space

It's okay if you didn't get the themes or writing the first time. Maybe someday you'll be mature enough to appreciate the genius of Yoko Taro's storytelling.

I don't see the problem, if anything it's the kind of game that gets better a second playthrough since you know what's going and you can notice certain foreshadowings and stuff.

Both Nier and Automata really benefit more from a second complete playthrough though. The game I actually wish I could replay completely unspoiled is Drakengard 1, imagine what a fucking rollercoaster that would be knowing nothing about it.

How the hell do you people endure the shitty combat in this game? I dropped it after two hours because the combat was so goddamn awful.

>You will never hear chapter 12 ground and sky for the first time again

The soundtrack to his games are a miracle of the universe

Because there are millions of better games out there.

have an ounce of creativity instead of mashing square and chugging potions

>mfw I'm playing it for the first time right now despite preordering it

>mfw all this backtracking for sidequests and no fast travel until late in the game

why

>you'll never fall for the hack-taro meme again
Feels good. Also, only good moment in the game:
youtube.com/watch?v=Egn_VNVKzI4

Late in the game? I thought you get it early on.

That doesn't really change how floaty and unsatisfying the combat feels.

What are you talking about, you get fast travel after the space ship

"Bro, just play through a 40 hour game for a second time, it gets better!"

Are any of these combos actually more efficient that button mashing?

2b getting the virus was worse for me than microwaves, as someone who played the whole series.

Turned the game off when I heard kaine salvation fighting Emil

Ending E was one of the defining moments of the generation, up there with sephiroth stabbing aeris, agro coming back, etc.

Sup Forums would realize this if they didn't have such a boner for shit posting.

Sup Forums are just too jaded to enjoy this masterpiece.

in the sense that they do more dps and keep you safer: yes, most of them are
but they're not efficient in the way doing 400 UTs is efficient ninja gaiden or fishing for back stabs is efficient dark souls

Reminder that Mario Odyssey had a more kino and emotional ending than Nier Automata. Kek.

Stop

Just bought the game bruh is it better than the first nier I beat that a few weeks ago.

Not really. They just look cool.

Did you like the first Nier?

I've been noticing that people that don't like this aren't really into games.

More DPS is fair enough, but I don't really need to keep safer when I can spam the dodge button.
So which one of you two is telling the truth here?

Not liking shit combat and ham-fisted philosophical questions and statements means you don't like video games? Alright buddy. Maybe if Taro focussed more on the characters first I'd care about his story more.

>bought

I really loved it.

I'm actually happy for this, it was a slog the first time

Nah, you're not into video games. Go ahead, list your favorite games.

The second time was a slog.

You mean it had the same ending?

>ham fisted philosophical questions and statements

Name one besides the opening monologue. If you say dumb shit like what Jean Paul says which is clearly played as a joke you’re stupid as fuck

>deflects criticisms via ad hominem
But I'll bite. How many favourites do you want?

>it gets good at ending E
only good thing was 2b ass

I would've imagined it was the other way around. People that are really into games as games won't necessarily like it, but people that are into games as storytelling would.

Yeah, only it was a fun video game first.
First of all, who's Jean Paul? And secondly, I didn't mean questions and statements through spoken dialogue, I meant as shown throughout the game.

Top five

>Who's Jean Paul

Go suck start a fucking shotgun

Name them then. Also that’s called a theme dummy

This fucking game is so overrated by millennials, almost embarrassing.

>ended up hearing Weight of the World JP in a dream I dont remember
>Wake up sad + slight depression because I'm gonna fuck up at least one exam.

Name your normie tier favorite video games list, come on dude.

>I played the game
>Who's Jeane Paul

By the second time I was learning the systems enough to break them

You are a millenial dumbass, unless you’re a Gen Z faggot or a Boomer, in which case you need to find better ways to spend your time instead of arguing with teens on a Laotian Harpsichord Association website

>jumping on the millennial hate bandwagon

Thank god, it was such a disappointment

You can play through the game without knowing who Jean Paul is. He's a side-quest character.

I'm sure you'll do fine, user.

OoT and MM
Mass Effect 2 (dig those characters)
Shadow Of The Colossus
RE4
Tetris
So what I got out of the game is the general theme was what does it mean to be human and alive, right? Obviously this is depicted through the robots and their different societies (Pascal's village, the robots who worshipped one as a god if I remember correctly, the robots with their own play, etc). Also there's the character of 9S, who after losing 2B goes completely nuclear because she was essentially all he cared about in life. The game kept hammering home about purpose, and what it means to be alive and a human through the entire thing.

I like that the quest about the cycle of violence that forces you to murder a squad of powerful machines seeking revenge for their comrades pretty much requires 9S to do it, not 2B.

>tfw haven't played nier
>tfw don't plan to

But y tho?

To be fair, I did the majority of the side quests, so there's a good chance I'm familiar with the character. I just don't remember him by name. Not a lot of it stuck with me after finishing.

I am okay with accepting that I had a great experience and I'll remember it forever.

Good for you.

>OoT and MM
>Mass Effect 2 (dig those characters)
>Shadow Of The Colossus
>RE4
>Tetris

You can't be into shadow of the colossus and mass effect 2 but dislike this game. Was it because it had too much gameplay? Was Nier Automata too 'gamey'?

>tetris

Really nigger, your list already screams “IGN’s best games of all time” but you have not played many games if you genuinely consider Tetris as one of your favorites or are just trying to absolve criticism of your real taste. And you genuinely have no right to criticize any of Automata’s writing if you consider ME2’s (which destroyed everything 1 had built up) to be good

Was there an actual quest for it? I just kinda killed them cause they were gold and figured they'd drop good shit, then just blundered into the second group in the flooded city.

No, it's because I didn't give a shit about the characters and the gameplay was worse than the standard Platinum had already set for themselves with Bayonetta and MGR.
Mass Effect 2 had a cast I was actually invested in, and Shadow Of The Colossus had a fantastic atmosphere because the world felt believable. It was a vast, empty wasteland that belonged to the Colossi and the loneliness made the entire thing feel unsettling from beginning to end. Hell, I still feel uncomfortable going into deep water in that game despite knowing for a fact there will be nothing there. Not only that, but actually fighting the 16 Colossi is extremely entertaining due to the pure sense of scale and your interactivity with them.
Also, Yakuza 0 was gamey as fuck and I loved that game.

I mean Tetris is a sweet game, but it's like saying the Beatles are your favorite band.
No fucking shit, they were bigger than god for a reason. They're everyone's favorite band.

I never really cared for Mass Effect 1, sorry. Also, Tetris is a game I play almost daily and I have done for many, many years.

It's unmarked but it's a quest anyway.

Tetris has sold 170 million copies.
Everyone plays Tetris almost daily.

Because you'll get to play Nier 3 for the first time

There's a difference between someone who says they love The Beatles, but only knows their greatest hits, and someone who says they love The Beatles and knows their entire discography intimately.

Ok. Would a game you play almost daily not become one of your favourites? Am I wrong for saying it's one of my favourites because I enjoy spending time with it more than so many other games?

>tfw ywn massage 2Bs feet after a long day of walking on those boots

why even live v/ros

>tfw 2B could never sit on your face because she's 300pounds

No. It's just... It's fucking Tetris man. It's on everyone's list. The seventh best selling franchise in the media, and has a huge leg up in that it's basically the same game being sold every time (sure you could say that about cod but). My grandma plays fucking Tetris. It's like saying your favorite movie is citizen Kane, your favorite band is the Beatles, and your favorite food is chicken.

Sure, I guess. It's just... Obvious? I'm not saying your favorite game has to be some Atari game no one has heard of either, but damn.

My favorite composer is mozart- yeah no shit, he's the greatest of all time, pick something else.

>Implying she needs to sit on your face

She's a damn robot, she could balance gently there for a hundred years

Well, my favourite game is Ocarina Of Time if that stings you even more.

It's also mine.
If you were the right age to play it as a kid it was everyone's favorite game.
It's just not literally everyone's favorite.

I will never play it the first time, feels amazing.

This isn't the type of OP I thought would attract so many people who genuinely don't like the game.

For all of you guys, on a scale of 1-10, how angry are you that you played this game at all?

>you will never play nier automata for the first time

just jerked off to the sfm porn and feel like I got the full experience.

I didn't even play it, I'm just here to shitpost. But I will tell you that I am mad about a similar scenario, I bought Bloodborne and was hoping it wasn't the terrible nipshit I knew damn well it would be, and now I am mad. This is why I won't play Nier anything either. Phil Fish was right.

I fail to see how the literal highest rated game of all time being someones favourite is any more interesting or original than picking Tetris. Also, this thread isn't even about my favourite games, it's about Nier Automata. Listing my favourite games at the request of that faggot user was a mistake because now we're stuck discussing that instead of the criticisms I brought up.

Solid 7/10 because I genuinely thought I'd love it. The demo had me intrigued and excited to play, and the buzz and hyperbole around it only made that excitement grow.

>in b4 "name YOUR favourite games then bro"

>Why even live?
I'll be senile one day and forget about it so I'll be able to play it again like it was the first time. So I've got that to look forward to.

I still haven't played it yet. Soon, but not yet. I've still got games from 2013 I can play

Automatafags will never play Nier for the first time period.

Automatafags will never understand good story telling period.

>ywn experience that shit combat again
>ywn do those garbage fetch quest again
>ywn explore that bland af world again
>ywn fight those trash enemies again
>ywn experience that oscarbaitplot again
>ywn plathrough those sidescrolling levels again
thank god.

Was OoT the Gotyay when you were 8 playing it for the first time?

>ywn never get those 60 hours back
So I played it for the first time when I was 10, shortly after getting a Wii for Christmas in 2006 and playing Twilight Princess, and it was the hottest shit. Pulling the master sword out of the pedestal and becoming an adult for the first time is still my favourite moment in video games. Totally blew my younger mind.

>Pulling the master sword out

Exactly. Did you feel that way because you heard about it from everyone else? From the internet?
OoT is the greatest because it is the goat.


[E]nd of yorha was that tier, for me.
