When is this game supposed to become good?

When is this game supposed to become good?

I'm currently at the third playthrough and, after a bit of a decent start the game has stopped the plot yet again and we are back walking in the same overworld doing the same terrible fetch quests I've been doing for the last 30 hours. While the game has been enjoyable at the beginning, the gameplay isn't complex or particularly interesting for such a long game and the story has been... underwhelming to say the least. Even Adam and Eve were absolutely terrible villains and I don't see how the story is tackling any complex or thought-provoking theme.

Sure, some machines have formed religion, others have their castle in the forest but it's not like it gets particularly explored, it's just there.

It's not for you and that's okay. You might enjoy the new God of War or Skyrim.

>I'm currently at the third playthrough
EVERY
TIME

Have you ever heard of the game call of duty world war one? That game is probably more your style

>Man, playthrough 2 is SO DIFFERENT
>It's the same with a couple of added scenes
>Yes man but WAIT UNTIL 3, it's DIFFERENT
>After an explosive start it's exactly the same shit as before

In like another three playthroughs, stick with it my dude, it will be worth it ;)

Quit it and move on, we don't really care if you dislike it

who are you quoting? you didnt really look at the threads about the game instead of playing it right?

holy shit lol you literally looked up spoilers and are complaining that the story isn't interesting hahahhahaha

Hey child, how about instead of needing Sup Forums's confirmation on what games you're allowed to enjoy, you just play the fucking game? Holy shit you are pathetic.

get fucked

No one claims route B is much different, though. In fact that's the lowest point of the game since it's the same shit all over again. If you already dragged yourself through that then you may as well finish.

Oh yeah, playthrough 3 is pretty much the same shit but you're A2 and 9S now.
Also, I see Automata fags are already in their defensive position.

Well, its not the game for you. Did it took you 30h to realize that? Have you never considered that not everyone will like the same genres?

Critical thinking is in an all time low

No, fucking everyone claims “you haven’t even played it if you only beat the first cycle”. Fuck you all, this game was shit

Are you frustrated?

Because a lot of people only beat the first cycle and think the game is over, the second cycle is almost the same thing with some changes towards the end.

The third "cycle" is essentially the beginning of the second half of the game.

Not that guy but if you want to quit at A, go ahead. It wraps up with a nice happy ending and doesn't get all that deep.
If you okay B, then just rush through it in a quarter of the time. Isn't that different besides little more characterization here and there. Nobody claims it's they different though.
C is different and if you've played thriugh B, you might aswell play C.

I didn't like the focus on combat for 9s and found it becoming boring for a while, but it us saved through other factors.

If you don't like it, that's okay though.

What's with the hostility in this thread?

>you dropped it before route C? Fucking casual pleb
>you're still playing even though you're not into it? Fucking retard
Automatafags.

There was a time you could talk about nier on Sup Forums but unfortunately that time is over.

It's barely hostile.

Most people are just annoyed since we see a thread like this everyday. You don't need Sup Forums to tell you when a game gets good, either play the game to the end or don't.

>you dropped it before route C? Fucking casual pleb
No one here is saying that. If you stomached the Route B, you probably could do C, but if you didnt want to play it, just drop, stop being retarded

and people wonder how waifufags ruin franchises.

No, they do. Any criticism gets brushed away if you haven't gotten to route C. At least that's the case with most Automatafags anyway.

We don't care if you beat the game or not.

I do find it personally difficult for someone to properly critique a game they only played half of, while not even playing the better half of the game.

...

if you're not invested by the start of route 3, its fine to put it down.

...

Automatafags aren't rational thinkers, they care. I mean look at these

if you don't like the game, why are you playing it a 3rd time?

How is recommending someone an enjoyable video game experience wrong?

Each playthrough is different.

>Any criticism gets brushed away if you haven't gotten to route C
>someone to properly critique a game they only played half of

>done playing the game all the way through but doing a stupid ass mini game shoot for every existing enemy
>part 3 starts
>constantly switching pov
>2b does stupid ass tower climbs
>dont even remember what that other bitch did
>kills off older cameo models for no reason other than forced feelings
>all ends in some kind of pick between bitch and faggot
>turns into undertale fight
other than the super structure being change of environment no the game doesn't get better at all. saying it is enough to dodge criticism is asinine

well the first ending is only like a third of the way through the game.

Try telling that to other Automatafags, not me.

>I didn't like the focus on combat for 9s and found it becoming boring for a while
Anyone who doesn't like 9S combat hasn't used crit spears on him. Never even have to hack, except for actually strong enemies.

>No one here is brushing away criticism because "muh route C"
>You insist that the boogieman "automatafags" do
Focus on the thread you are right now, and stop deflecting.

The only actually strong enemies for a critspear 9S are the DLC arena.
Everything else, from the golden boys to the bunny can be beaten without hacking with a crit build

>shmups are now considered undertale

It gets good after you beat it 5 times

9S kills faster than any other character aside from a B-mode A2 and that requires a very specific chipset to work and don't get fucked.

>Sup Forums hypes it up months before launch
>game is mediocre as shit but it's shilled to hell and back
>music is basically elements of creators previous works but is appraised as the best because baby's first toro game fans over powering previous fans of toro's work
>story is beyond straight forward and predicable yet people think its deep and enriching
>waifuing and husbando over all npcs in the game
>constant memeing and fanart with no actual discussions about the game itself when the topic is brought up via ecchi fan art posting
>both games have bullet hell mechanics and features a wise cracking comic relief wide shape skeleton in with you befriend and fight against
>both games have a data save/load gimmick intergated into the story
>both shit up Sup Forums with the same spam threads

...

>people crying about the "replays" which more or less don't even exist in this game since 9s plays so much easier than 2b and route C is a completely new experience

Could you imagine any of these people having to put up with Nier 1's bullshit for every ending?

But people have brushed away criticism

Fucking drop it. It's shit. You got meme'd by weebfaggots.
It's nothing but retarded waifu-bait with shit gameplay.

How long is the first playthrough? Im about 6 hours in and i dont really find it to be interesting. Id like to finish it once just becuase but i having a feeling i wont.

But route C isn't a completely new experience outside of the story.

Depends. Are you doing side quests? If not, should only be a couple more hours.

Depending on how many quests and exploration you do, from 8 to 16 hours.
Which part are you in?

Honestly you can tell how good the game is simply by the fact Sup Forums can't shut the fuck up about it for almost a year now.

>twice as many replies as posters

Wonder how many posts are samefagging continuing to try and bait.

You forgot the abysmal difficulty scaling, garbage enemy design in general save for select few, OP dodge, limited weapon category, etc.

It was more the emphasis on combat, sorry should have been more specific.
The towers near the end make perfect sense from a video game standpount, and character standpoint too, but just wasn't gelling with me near the end.

But I haven't tried that. The combat isn't bad imo but I just didn't enjoy the combat in the tower sequences. Otherwise I did enjoy his combat style.

>weebshit
>good

You got memed on my friend

>Sup Forums continues to have fnaf threads despite the game being for 5 year olds

>Its another neo/v/ fag plays a videogame that its own fans admit has flaws and merely plays these fucking things as an excuse to come here and bitch.

People have different tolerances for shit. im amazed that I made it through most of Witcher 1 to see the cool shit everyone raved about. Automata had just enough gameplay variety to last through all its routes and I enjoyed the little bite sized existentialist side quests. Lots of low blows where it sold drama with good music, but Im not so jaded where I automatically reject shit thats openly trying to manipulate your emotions.

Seriously, i hate these fucking retards who play games just to find things to bitch about, i have a friend that does this too and can't play a single game without trying to come up woth his owm rebalanced system for it.


The later routes are hype as hell but some shit just starts happening and I think Taro leaned to hard on out of game writing for it.

this game became a meme sadly because 2B ass. So waifufaggots that took the bait are mad that you only play route A with her only. If middle route C you are still bored, just uninstall the game
also, the lore and the meaning is not as deep as drakengard

So was everyone just memeing about Mass Effect Andromeda being shit?

>same fetchquest
pretty sure any sidequest that you've finished won't be playable in the next route. Or do you mean the side/fetchquest structure is the same? If by that then I agree but to a degree. The sidequest does have their own unique story that does make it feel not as same-y to me. I'm still in route B though, on course to finish it. And have done every sidequest available on route A and B. I've stopped playing because I don't want to feel them feels in route C to E. I don't think I can fight and kill 6O and 21O. Like some of the guys here says, the game's probably not for you.
