      I picked up the game a week ago cause so many people recommended it but I have to say what started out as a fun game turned into complete bullshit! When the resistance camp burns down you are stuck having to fight several very difficult bosses and you cannot purchase heals or items or weapon upgrades and then the game just ends. I started the next phase playing as 2B but the game really pissed me off as it’s progression is horrible I would absolutely not recommend this game at all. A video game shouldn’t purposefully screw you over in order to make it more difficult. That’s shitty game design.

    • @DanBlabbers
      @DanBlabbers ปีที่แล้ว

      Also there are long segments with no saving and you can’t even change your chip setup. The fact that you lose chips if you don’t recover your body is also unnecessary. If the game was straightforward then it would be fine. But it wasn’t. I collect all these materials and funds then I can’t even fucking use them. I know everything continues on and carries over but after I defeated Eve I really want want to play this game anymore. Horrible design choices in progression.

    This, alongside Persona 5, was the reason why I got a PS4, so I'm glad both games are coming to Switch this month. I would say, I don't understand why people call it playing the game multiple times, it's just that the game isn't over after you see the credits, you'll be seeing them multiple times, but it's not that you have to start a new save or anything, you just continue where you left off. It's probably because the game calls them "endings", but it's not like you have to replay the exact same thing multiple times.

    Idk. I tried playing it on ps4. Got to the first major boss about 45 minutes in and died. Was shocked when it sent me back to the title screen. There’s literally no save spots at all before the first 45 minutes of the game. And EVERY time you die on the first boss you have to redo that ENTIRE 45 minutes again every time. I’m sorry, but after that I don’t feel like even trying again.

    This might sound dramatic, but I sincerely believe that a 9 out of 10 is completely underselling this game. I played this game late into 2017 after having enjoyed some of the greatest games to come out in such a stellar year for gaming. Yet all the games I played that year, and really, my entire life, made me question if NieR Automata was the only game to truly understand it’s position as a video game. Every traditional element commonly represented in video games such as art, music, and storytelling are represented here in a way that could not be done outside the medium of video games. Almost every piece of music has multiple layers and unique remixes which dynamically fluctuate with the intensity of either the combat or the story. And the story that NieR Automata tells is one that couldn’t have the same impact we’re it to be retold in either a book or movie. Anybody who’s played to the end knows what I’m talking about.
    NieR Automata is the only game I’ve played that pushes all the aspects of the medium to the fullest, and creates an experience worthy of the decades of maturity that video games have experienced. Just as a painting cannot be transposed into music, the experience that is NieR Automata cannot be recreated through any other medium. It is purely, and wholly, a video game. It is what the industry has been building up to. Anybody who wants to experience what video games are uniquely capable of being should play this game. 10 out of 10.

      I just really don't like how the plot and message is so "in your face". Every single Xenoblade game I've played, I've guessed pretty much the whole plot in the first 5-10 hours... While Nier was much more difficult to analyze until the plot points actually happened.
      Both Nier and XC3 especially seem to focus on existentialism but XC3 just isn't subtle at all. Although there are some really good scenes relating to that theme too.

      @SpiderSimpleton 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am not particularly emotionally-attached to games such as this, but this game had some moments that spurred some deep emotions in me. The revalations start once the mid-game is reached when the bigger picture begins to take shape. The subsequent playthroughs reveal even more. It isn't depressing; it's melancholy, meaning it is sad but necessary. Lots of hidden depth in what it means to play a game like this. It has very good, if a little abstract storytelling.
      Don't worry about the endings. Most of them are triggered by silly things you wouldn't think of doing and are mostly there for amusement. A few do give you some insight on the meaning behind your existence as a player. Yes, it's a meta game, but it isn't pretentious about it.
      P.S.
      The music plays a big role in the mood.

      It is sad but at the same time wholesome, touching, giving hope, comforting and with catharsis in the end (on contrary to the original Nier pre Remaster which was without hope in the end). But be prepared to be on an emotional roller coaster for about 30 hours.

Yes the game is very sexual but its so much more then that. Holy shit is it way more then that. the story at first i was just ignoring cause what ever the game was just something to kill time with but man after a little bit i started to get into it and bloody hell i was not ready for what came next from the later story.
    the game hit a emotional button within me that even my friends who played the game told me to get ready for. Me disregarding them didnt think much about it but like i said above i was wrong. The game really brings into question something about the human conditions and that how we are and act can be done by something to the same affect and that tragedy can affect anything and when it horrible enough it can lead to someone ending it all after seeing it all fall apart. legit the horror i felt during this game was something i rarely if ever feel playing something same with the sadness and heart break that crept along. Each character got fleshed out and we got to see bit by bit as they became self aware of what truly was happening and how each one of them faced what came to them.
    I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves a great story with solid game play and just a master piece of a game.
    sure is hass dat ass but its so much more

    Nier automata was the first game I tried to play in this kind of genre. At first I was not sure if it‘s the right ‘‘thing‘‘ for me because I usually play cozy games like Animal Crossing or something but oh my god… I completely fell in love with this game. I still can remember running around freely the first time after the tutorial. The Music started playing and I teared up because it was so beautiful. Everything was so beautiful. I still get goosebumps when I think about my journey. Nier automata has become one of my all time favorite games so easily and I am beyond happy to play it on the switch again!❤
