Short, bland, samey garbage when compared with the first one. First one was funny, had a variety of areas and types of gameplay. Different places with different cultures within them. Farming and quests for your daughter. In this shit, everything is already dead. Everything is brown and broken. Literally nothing to do but smash yet another fucking robot, and when you're not doing that it's randomly ripping camera control away from you.
If this didn't have an ass in your face the whole time Sup Forums would have shat on it, and you know it. I fucking hate this game because the first one which was infinitely better, more creative and heartwarming will be forgotten while this horseshit is hailed as great Japanese gayming because you autistic fucks are so entranced by an anime ass bouncing in your face.

How long is the game?

2/10 but nice try, baitposter.
A fair minority of people came for the ass, but they stayed for the endings. Particularly E.
Most people just played because Platinum's name on it, and the current trendiness of getting into 'obscure' things.
Very few folks played the original Nier whatsoever, and as one of them, I agree with your love of the first Nier, but it was an undigestable mess to any meaningful demographic.
The success of Nier:A ensures us future Nier games and Taro gets a continued platform to work on, and isn't nearly as betraying of the first as you seem to imply.
nt though, just gotta structure your shitpost better next time. I suggest throwing out lines like "Soundtrack is terrible" "Only played 3 hours, but..." etc.

Nah, you're retarded

If this didn't have an ass in your face, you wouldn't be hating on it.

Remember the CYOA in Nier? The land with all the rules? Growing watermelon for your loli? Fucking shit that was good. If you played as an anime girl with sequenced panties it would have been a cult classic. Wish someone would make a mod for automata to take out the sex and I garentees if you people play it again you'll see why this shit was lazy
Isaac Carter
1hr 40min if you rush.
Jackson Reyes
You have not played the first game if you genuinely believe this.
>farming and quests for your daughter Don't fucking lie, NOBODY enjoyed doing this shit. The game is a huge slog until you get to the mansion.
>first one had a variety of areas and types of gameplay So does Automata? I don't what you're trying to say. Neither of them stand out area wise anyways, plus you had pointless places like Seafront.
>randomly ripping camera control away from you So like the first game?
>everything is brown and broken So like the first game?
Goddamn pretending to play the previous title in order to shit on its more popular sequel is fucking pathetic my dude. Either that or you have rose tinted glasses so large you could eclipse the sun. You can prefer the story, characters, or music just fine, but saying shit like this is blatantly untrue.
Elijah Scott
I beat it, got to the E ending, have 14 hours in it. It's pathetically short. Pathetically low content. The endings are repetitive as fuck because you get little tastes of new stuff next to the same shit. And it still doesn't have different and creative areas. Now that this has sold well he won't make anything like the first Nier, he's gonna make automata 2.

story was whatever, anime emotional struggles and shit i don't give a fuck about. what was unforgivable was the forced RPG mechanics, combat was gimped as a result of including leveling, items, and other bullshit that absolutely does not belong in a platinum game. and even then it would have been alright if you could still stagger enemies that were a higher level than you, but as it stands if an enemy was even just 10-20 levels above your own, you can't stagger them, you can't launch them, you just wail on them for 15 fucking minutes doing 10 fucking damage at a time in between their attacks, and you don't even stagger them or get guaranteed i-frames on perfect dodge counters. hitboxes are fuckhuge as well, and you'll get hit by attacks that have yet to even connect with you. hard mode is fucking ridiculous because everything has increased stagger resist making combat even more of a slog, but the beginning is the only hard part because once you get some chips together you can nuke enemies out of existence with simple combos. i couldn't feel assed to play any more of the game after ending e.
the best part of the game was the bullet hell credits sequence.
Jacob Anderson
Bout 2 and half hours. First Nier was around 15. 20+ if you did the side quests. Plus different endings. And the graphics were somehow better too, but it was only on PS3 and 360 so it was 720p, so you wouldn't be able to tell.
Chase Lee
It's lengthy. Answers of 1-3 hours are memeing and shilling against the title, patently so.
A 'I hate X game thread' isn't a good place to get decent information.
Colton Nguyen
30 - 35 hours for True [E]nding, probably about 45+ for 100% completion (i've not gone for it yet though so can't be sure)
Jordan Gutierrez
>NOBODY enjoyed doing this shit I did. I like the 3D harvest moons. You have a loli to feed, it's awesome
Isaac King
>So like the first game? Bullshit. The first town? The sand kingdom? Living, functioning society. Look at them side by side, unless you cherry pick the first has twice the color.
William Perez
This. Fuck this game.
Gavin Williams
I thought it was fun
Brayden Perry
Wrong. 3 hours to actually beat it, 20 hours to do the same shit in a different perspective with 2 hours of actually new stuff in between.
