@@JOHNUURAGGH You really should and play the game 3 times loading the same save! The locations and quest are going to be the same, but what you discover in each is OOOOFFFFF
@@TheDraykon I mean with the way robots worked I honestly couldnt get mad at him. You never really get anyone who you can call a villain in this game which is honestly really depressing
When 9S showed affection towards 2B, you can see that Simone felt jealous of 2B's beauty (as she thinks one must be beautiful to get affection), you can see how much desperate and sad she was when she screams "I MUST BE BEAUTIFUL", it was truly devastating... She was a great metaphor of how much us humans are obsessed with beauty, especially in our modern times...
He won't look my way. He won't look my way. He won't look my way. He won't look my way. He won't look my way. He... Still... Won't... Look... My... Way...
Ummmmmmm.. are you okay? I have genuine concern for what you are saying.. Remember, if you are feeling mentally ill you should always tell someone like your parents of a teacher at school
0:00 - 0:17 One of the cleanest, most chilling boss theme intros I have ever heard. The single-note, mechanical belting in the first three seconds lets you know you're about to throw down with something big, freaky, and robotic. I haven't played the game yet, but just from listening to this song, I can bet that the boss has a deep, tragic backstory of some sort. The perfect mix of epic, foreboding, sorrow, and invigoration. Fukken excellent song
Then again, it IS Nier...what DOESN'T have a tragic backstory? Garbage can? Tragic backstory. That blade of grass you stepped on? Backstory. Used condom? You better BELIEVE it has a tragic back story.
It didnt make me cry, but I was pretty shook at the end of the fight. I basically left my game on pause and searched up if it was possible to spare Simone, but alas.
I think it's funny that this boss looks like this, but the ACTUAL machine is just that little stubby at its neck. The entire rest of the boss is just extra parts the machine put together in order to look beautiful.
I just discovered this boss' backstory and... It's kinda sad. They managed to get "feelings", just to discover how painful it can actually be to love. Thats sad, really.
It really hits home when you play with 9S on B route where this whole anguishing backstory truly starts to open up in all of its tragic glory. Masterfully written + the song is just amazing too!
The robotic belting in the beginning honestly makes it 100x better, and the fact that the beginning parts at 0:20, 0:26, 0:37, and 0:46 sync up with each of her attacks makes the whole thing feel so much more powerful, like she's putting on some morbid performance. Her creepy laughing only adds to that creepy factor. My favorite parts are the lasers at 0:46, that shit sends chills down my spine.
this game is perfect, the tracks are perfect, the sound effects are perfect, the secrets are perfect, the characters are perfect, the japanese voice acting is perfect, the story is perfect, this is the game of the year for me
Just had my first encounter with her yesterday...I swear that scream at the start had an icecold chill running down my entire body. It cointained so much pain and despair in it, that I couldn't help but feel deep pity and at the same time fear creeping up on me since I instantly knew that this was the agonizing scream of a tortured and lost soul that couldn't widstand the cruelty of life itself. Judging from the hints some of the comments under this video give me, I have the impression my instinct was right, which just proves what a masterpiece this song and especially that start is...i have deep respect for the artists involved in creating this particular piece but also in the other songs in the OST as it is simply amazing. It is indeed a piece of great art.
First two tones.. Beauty, but then the third one.. Nasty!.. Shows so much desperation, to become more beautiful.. Perfectly presented the situation of the boss, Don't you think?
The first Nier did similar. Once you started your second run you started from the half-way point, and could actually understand what the Shades were saying as you fought. Some good example s of tragic side-bosses upon learning what's going on from their end was Bleepy and Kalil, and Gretel and the shade horde.
@@OsnosisBones I cried after I beat Kalil and Beepy. That whole story line was just so goddamn sad. I legit didn't want to finish the fight. This is the only game where I actually feel bad for killing the enemies.
Beating Simone as 9S was the first moment that drew a few tears. It was not the last. The ending where 9S is invited to come along had me choked up and crying.
_To be trapped in forgotten memory. The Opera Machine that no one loved. She begged for her freedom. She begged to be loved. Centuries passed... One day her wish was granted, she was free. She finally found love; alas, it was unrequited. Through all that time, her frustration festered. Anger replaced dreams. This world enraged and terrified her. She threw her world into a nightmare. A world decorated with her own song. A world only she knew was beautiful. A world that could not be forgotten. In the end her own paradise was her undoing. As she was pulled apart, ripped to shreds, and her immortal soul erased. Only then did we feel guilty. After all was done, was this machine really a demon? Denied love since birth. Starved of kindness and compassion. Ti's a true demon who casts judgment on Simone. It was our carelessness and rejection that sprouted evil and tended it within her. Can one imagine an outcome for a life that never knew love, that did not end in heartbreak and tragedy? Simone, fear not, you will be remembered not for the despair you put on this land, but for the nightmare you had to endure while wishing for a miracle every moon for the beauty of love. In oil and hymns, pitch and gears, lets create a melody that has every note except tears and pain. Simone, you are so beautiful..._
Your writing was exquisitely captivating, holding my attention and immersing me completely. It captivated me from beginning to end. You have a remarkable ability to bring a character to life through your words.
Simone was one my favorite boss fights because of her music, battle, and her story. Nier automata is one of the best story telling game i will ever play.
I have to admit. When I was still playing 2B, I stopped attacking the boss for a long while when her clothes went up in flames and she screamed "help me". Honest to goodness, I did not continue attacking, but later on I have to. Her, screaming "help me" pained me.
In the first fight as 2B, while trying to evade the attacks, even the camera refused to look her way. The barrage of weapons fire makes it so you cant get close and even if you could, her hacking disables your close combat capabilities. And if you tried, you cant approach. You literally....cannot...look...her...way.
@@HybridSpektar it actually made me feel really bad for it. I never so much as touched a dustbunny on any machines head in the amusement park. Or the city ruins after learning about the machines more.
I just like that howling scream shortly after the beginning. It instantly builds up the image of this boss for me - a crazed machine ghost, hidden in a seemly beautiful shell. No words needed.
0:45 - 1:10 **Modern English Translation** This pompous scene With silver tongue We sing a song of horror Begin the song This timeless song We'll swim and drown in slaughter
@@professoremil Then again, it's chaos language. It can be interpreted any way the listener hears it. It is beautiful either way. One of my favorites here, next to Alien Manifestation, Amusement Park, and City Ruins.
He won't look my way. He won't look my way. He won't look my way. He won't look my way! He won't look my way! He won't look my way!! HE WON'T LOOK MY WAY!
Fast fact: Simone was the name of a French philosopher, who had a long-term open relationship with another philosopher named Jean-Paul. Both were accused of grooming and abusing minor female students, what made Simone lose her license as a teacher. That's is why the machine on the game "grooms" other androids in order to call Jean-Paul's attention, what is something that the real Simone has also done. It took me some time to catch that detail.
This was still one of my favorite fights in the game. The aesthetic, the nice difficulty, the boss singing her own theme music, the sudden introduction to hacking that you would never see until much later. It was a GREAT fight and I'm glad I picked up Nier: Automata. Hard to believe this was about to be a (presumably) shitty Mobile game.
This becomes one of my favorite game soundtrack It perfectly matches the story that one of the robots seeking and questioning the meaning of self existence but going into a dead end and madness, just like......
3 years after finishing the game, I come back here to have an epiphany. Beauty is indeed the easiest way to get affection, but the saying goes: "what's easy is usually cheap too", isn't it. It changed my understanding of love, and with my change on views, I'll work towards changing my behavior as well.
I played this game in my 20’s, I’m now 34…and this song/story still makes me cry…I cannot get over what happens to this boss character, it is extremely tragic……
I find it really sad that he also can't help it. A bunch of girls go crazy over him not even noticing their affections, because his attention and mind are somewhere else entirely. To me, this makes Simone's fate even more painful.
Simone's story is interesting and very sad at the same time, you get the whole picture of it on the second play-through , damn i felt sad when i saw it :( .... damn you yoko taro!
I've finally [P]layed nie[R] a few days ago and it was [O]ne of, if not the best gaming experience i've ever felt, [P]layed, and seen. This game is art and I wish I c[O]uld era[S]e my memory and experience it [A]gain, even after beating the game I'm still hit with new stuff throughout I [L]ove that This is art and that's an understatement.
Rayce. Rumler its crazy how this is literally the first time I've heard about such an amazing franchise. I'm glad to say that I'm apart of the yoko taro crazy hype train now! Shit is one of my favorite games of all time. I legitimately shed some tears throughout the game. Also, do you think this will be the last game in the nier series? Or do you think the ending was open ended enough to continue or do another timeline? And yea I watched a 30 minute video summarizing drakenguard and nier.. shit is crazy as hell
LilJay301 Yeah, the original was very underrated and over looked, but it made my top 5 games ive ever played lol. To be honest, these games are some of the biggest feels trips ive ever been on. It may be convoluted if Automata was the first Yoko Taro game youve ever played, but its facinating, isnt it? Also, I cant say for sure, but I think some of the endings leave room for a kickass sequel.
Likely many others never looked her way, too. Including us. Her head, her face is below what appears to be her neck, sitting comfortably as though she's a little gem on a necklace. Look her way.
I'm years late, and I know I'm years late, but every boss in this game that had a sufficient backstory made me sad. All of them. Engels, Simone, A2, even Adam and Eve
What I love about this boss is what seems like a surface level sad story in A route, it turns into a really tragic story as you get more details in route B in. A nice attention to detail, that the boss moves and acts in sync with the music, blasting off her abilities at key moments in the music is just pure perfection!
This only shows how perspective make difference. 2B saw only enemy. 9S saw machine that "is hurting a lot" (and yet didn't believe it, we know how 9S behaved and what he believed). But it's really good example to not judge book by it's cover. Everone have flaws and everyone "want to look perfect for everyone".
@@TriggerAzimuth Indeed, that's one of the main reasons I love this game so much is how it tackles the perspectives of the viewer (us) and 2B and 9S's story and how they slowly change throughout. Like 2B has literal PTSD of killing 9S over and over again and that's why she is so (over)protective sometimes. Love the nuances of the story and some of the side quests also pack a punch.
@@setakh Yea, that too. Especially that you got a lot of tips that 2B isn't 2B at all. Don't want to make spoilers xD But it's not normal that Battler or Scanner got "quests" that contains literally killing other androids (I mean story with 2A and side quest "Betrayers of YoRha") Like... You could think about it ealier but... You as a player so much believe that all that 2B and 9S are saying that niuances like this one is like.... Slipping. And I mean seriously!
@@TriggerAzimuth I think when it really start to dawn on players what was really it like when you meet with a resistance android in a side quest in the 2nd half of the game, that wants to find the killer of her best friend, only to realise that she was the one who killed it and regains her memories that she is actually an eradicator type, not a battle type, just erased her own memories since she couldn't handle killing her best friends over and over again. Yikes. A2's story is quite dark as well and makes the later revelations of the story hit that much deeper once you get to know her side of the story on the 2nd playthrough when in the last part you switch between 9S and A2. So far, this is my miles one of the best stories I've played. So nice it has so many endings as well (5 main and 21 small if I remember correctly...?). Also the anime that came out really bumped the already big fanbase it had xD
@@setakh Yup, 26 endings at all, like base alphabet (one letter per ending). And yes, I agree. It throws at you many thoughts about life itself and yet about game. Like nobody will ever know why 9S infected whole bunker with logical virus in the first place... We can only imagine if he was just so stupid or he was like mastermind knowing how everybody around will react. Looking at the outcome, hI think he was mastermind with one flaw: he didn't know about why Bunker exist and this destroyed him. He wanted to throw Bunker under bus because he REMEMBERS that 2B killed him like... 48 times... And he knows she isn't 2B. His reaction when 2A asking him if he knew.... He knew. He shows it that he did.
This game is like no other when u play it for the first time the feeling of running around slashing and shooting robots that want to kill u is like no other feeling not just because of the gameplay but the music the music in this game is the reason why it’s so good in my opinion the music sets the tone it make u feel like a badass like a god, truly one of the best ost in gaming, when the music comes on in this game there is no time to die just fight, fight, and fight till u can’t no more
When it played during the 9S scène murdering massively machines in the tower, I realized... This is'nt just Simone theme, this is the theme of madness and obsession
Yup, music is masterpiece. Sights are just as good. And story is beyond imagining. 6 years after game release and it's still gaining fans. Believe me, it's worth your time.
I know its late but on the third note, where the song really starts, I swear there is a pain filled scream mixed in. The sung part, like the first two notes, remains, but you can also hear someone really screaming in agony
I just started playing nier automata and holy, the first time i fought this boss i immediately noticed the bgm. Nier soundtracks are absolutely banger even to this day
In a weird way, she does look rather beautiful. Excluding the corpses , she's got a nice dress, her proportions are even, and her abilities are rather strong, even if it does need a network. The guy that didn't notice her is a fool at minimum.
@@00vondough00 the logic virus would like to disagree with you. this machine while not part of the network anymore could have used that to it's advantage
Yea when I first heard the 8bit version of the song it took me by surprise did not expect 8bit music to be in this game at all but I am glad that it is I love every moment of it!
its odd how both androids and robots both who got to experience a glimmer of what its like to be human just completely lost its mind, or suffered great painsand proceeded to self destruct
This boss was a monster that needed to be put down for the safety of everyone. It’s story is tragic yes, but it’s still a monstrous serial killer, cannibal, rogue robot who’s a threat to everyone.

dem pain, all those hardworking, suffering, all for nothing....
Our feelings is what makes us human but it can rob us of our humanity too
It gets even sadder when you learn the robot she was trying to impress was the Jean-Paul bot.
It really hits home when you play with 9S on B route where this whole anguishing backstory truly starts to open up in all of its tragic glory. Masterfully written + the song is just amazing too!
this one in particular reminds me of people with bpd
What a tragic song..
She just wanted to be loved.
But no matter how hard she tried, she was never good enough
...never beautiful enough...
No, more like the one Simone wants to win over is just as crazy of itself.
And never realized the one she pined for probably never cared for such a thing. Or at least beauty in terms of appearance.
Beauvoir seems kind of a tragic boss when you her story unravels itself in 9S's campaign
all of the bosses in this game have tragic stories for me personally, it's like they are newborns, trying to learn the world and making fatal mistakes
yes. it is sad :(
Even the non-boss ones. like the golden machines. The last one's dialogue haunted me and is still haunting me.
yeah, when i followed the game progress half way i was like "what the hell??? the scenario is so messed up, everything is in chaos and sorrow"
You can play as 9s? when?
i'm still running around the place doing sidequests. lol

Emotions are prohibited

He won't look my way. He won't look my way. He won't look my way. He won't look my way! He won't look my way! He won't look my way!! HE WON'T LOOK MY WAY!
What happens if an emotion takes over your body? This.
I thought you become Eve? His is truly, and purely, an emotional response. Ray Chase can capture anger and sorrow in ways few voicr actors can.
Fast fact: Simone was the name of a French philosopher, who had a long-term open relationship with another philosopher named Jean-Paul. Both were accused of grooming and abusing minor female students, what made Simone lose her license as a teacher. That's is why the machine on the game "grooms" other androids in order to call Jean-Paul's attention, what is something that the real Simone has also done. It took me some time to catch that detail.
This was still one of my favorite fights in the game. The aesthetic, the nice difficulty, the boss singing her own theme music, the sudden introduction to hacking that you would never see until much later. It was a GREAT fight and I'm glad I picked up Nier: Automata. Hard to believe this was about to be a (presumably) shitty Mobile game.
4 years late but the shitty mobile game it was supposed to be was SINoALICE, which is about as good as mobile games get.
This becomes one of my favorite game soundtrack
It perfectly matches the story that one of the robots seeking and questioning the meaning of self existence but going into a dead end and madness, just like......
3 years after finishing the game, I come back here to have an epiphany. Beauty is indeed the easiest way to get affection, but the saying goes: "what's easy is usually cheap too", isn't it. It changed my understanding of love, and with my change on views, I'll work towards changing my behavior as well.
This freaking gives me chills. One of the greatest boss themes.
Look what you've done, Jean Paul !
もっと・・・・・キレイになるんだぁぁぁァァァァ！！！！
His f*cking loss. This was by far the most beautiful fight in the game.
This boss fight really makes me think of Puella Magica.
Five years later, I'm using this boss fight theme for a Puella magica roleplay.
The lore, atmosphere, setting, and the ost. Dark Souls worthy of a boss.
Sorry but I have to say Dark Souls is nothing compared to this dark psychological masterpiece.
I played this game in my 20’s, I’m now 34…and this song/story still makes me cry…I cannot get over what happens to this boss character, it is extremely tragic……
I’m back after episode 4 of the anime and it’s still as amazing as I remember
Sometimes i wonder how yoko taro brain is, to create these perfectly psychological meanings and personalities, this man is brilliant.
I just love how half the comments here are "F*@K YOU JEAN-PAUL" XD
xd
I find it really sad that he also can't help it.
A bunch of girls go crazy over him not even noticing their affections, because his attention and mind are somewhere else entirely.
To me, this makes Simone's fate even more painful.
Simone's story is interesting and very sad at the same time, you get the whole picture of it on the second play-through , damn i felt sad when i saw it :( .... damn you yoko taro!
It's 2022 and this game is one of, if not [T]he best game I ever played. Played it a month ago and still can't stop listening to Automata music.
I've finally [P]layed nie[R] a few days ago and it was [O]ne of, if not the best gaming experience i've ever felt, [P]layed, and seen.
This game is art and I wish I c[O]uld era[S]e my memory and experience it [A]gain, even after beating the game I'm still hit with new stuff throughout I [L]ove that
This is art
and that's an understatement.
I have only one thing to say, the caos language is beautifull
Proposal for route C, bring a tissue or ten
My first nier game man.. and I gotta say..The story in this game is sooo fucked up man.
It really is, and it was masterfully executed.
Count Artorias gonna go down as a classic without a doubt. Such a unique experience.
LilJay301 The original nier was just as fucked lol. But what lacked in gameplay it made up in storytelling.
Rayce. Rumler its crazy how this is literally the first time I've heard about such an amazing franchise. I'm glad to say that I'm apart of the yoko taro crazy hype train now! Shit is one of my favorite games of all time. I legitimately shed some tears throughout the game.
Also, do you think this will be the last game in the nier series? Or do you think the ending was open ended enough to continue or do another timeline? And yea I watched a 30 minute video summarizing drakenguard and nier.. shit is crazy as hell
LilJay301 Yeah, the original was very underrated and over looked, but it made my top 5 games ive ever played lol. To be honest, these games are some of the biggest feels trips ive ever been on. It may be convoluted if Automata was the first Yoko Taro game youve ever played, but its facinating, isnt it? Also, I cant say for sure, but I think some of the endings leave room for a kickass sequel.
This is one of the best songs in Automata maybe even in gaming
Robot gone crazy when their "feelings" are not reciprocated.
a masterpiece, one of a lifetime experience. i really wish i could erase all my memories just to experience this game once again
Immediate goosebumps holy shit can't wait to get the game
Simone is one of the many things that taught us that love can cause anyone to go insane.
best boss fight in the game... and that's philosophy abouth beautifulness... god i love this game
Likely many others never looked her way, too. Including us.
Her head, her face is below what appears to be her neck, sitting comfortably as though she's a little gem on a necklace.
Look her way.
I'm years late, and I know I'm years late, but every boss in this game that had a sufficient backstory made me sad. All of them. Engels, Simone, A2, even Adam and Eve
What I love about this boss is what seems like a surface level sad story in A route, it turns into a really tragic story as you get more details in route B in.
A nice attention to detail, that the boss moves and acts in sync with the music, blasting off her abilities at key moments in the music is just pure perfection!
This only shows how perspective make difference. 2B saw only enemy. 9S saw machine that "is hurting a lot" (and yet didn't believe it, we know how 9S behaved and what he believed). But it's really good example to not judge book by it's cover. Everone have flaws and everyone "want to look perfect for everyone".
@@TriggerAzimuth Indeed, that's one of the main reasons I love this game so much is how it tackles the perspectives of the viewer (us) and 2B and 9S's story and how they slowly change throughout. Like 2B has literal PTSD of killing 9S over and over again and that's why she is so (over)protective sometimes. Love the nuances of the story and some of the side quests also pack a punch.
@@setakh Yea, that too. Especially that you got a lot of tips that 2B isn't 2B at all. Don't want to make spoilers xD But it's not normal that Battler or Scanner got "quests" that contains literally killing other androids (I mean story with 2A and side quest "Betrayers of YoRha") Like... You could think about it ealier but... You as a player so much believe that all that 2B and 9S are saying that niuances like this one is like.... Slipping. And I mean seriously!
@@TriggerAzimuth I think when it really start to dawn on players what was really it like when you meet with a resistance android in a side quest in the 2nd half of the game, that wants to find the killer of her best friend, only to realise that she was the one who killed it and regains her memories that she is actually an eradicator type, not a battle type, just erased her own memories since she couldn't handle killing her best friends over and over again. Yikes. A2's story is quite dark as well and makes the later revelations of the story hit that much deeper once you get to know her side of the story on the 2nd playthrough when in the last part you switch between 9S and A2. So far, this is my miles one of the best stories I've played. So nice it has so many endings as well (5 main and 21 small if I remember correctly...?). Also the anime that came out really bumped the already big fanbase it had xD
@@setakh Yup, 26 endings at all, like base alphabet (one letter per ending). And yes, I agree. It throws at you many thoughts about life itself and yet about game. Like nobody will ever know why 9S infected whole bunker with logical virus in the first place... We can only imagine if he was just so stupid or he was like mastermind knowing how everybody around will react. Looking at the outcome, hI think he was mastermind with one flaw: he didn't know about why Bunker exist and this destroyed him. He wanted to throw Bunker under bus because he REMEMBERS that 2B killed him like... 48 times... And he knows she isn't 2B. His reaction when 2A asking him if he knew.... He knew. He shows it that he did.
Its 2020
And this ost is still one of the greatest ost in gaming history❤
just finished the game for the first time, and it was on ps5, what a legendary game
I still can't get over this game
It's just... so perfect
This is on of my all time favorite boss fights in a game. Amazing fight, amazing soundtrack, amazing backstory.
its my fav of all time
i think im addicted to the scream sound in the first part ,i keep on repeating it , feel empowering for some reason !!
3:42 "Hold me and suck one egg!"
wtf
That’s hilarious
Now I need the 8-bit hacking version
Me too
This song got me into Nier Automata
To this very day, no matter how many times I hear this song, I ALWAYS get chills from the beginning sequence.
Route B gave this a whole another meaning holy shit
dude... this is epic, I can't express my feelings, I don't have enough words to describe such epicness
"I need to be more beautiful , beautiful, beautifullllllll"
This game just keeps making you cry. You are hurting but you can't stop.
Words cannot describe the hype I felt when I saw the thumbnail for this video.
My life is one step closer to being complete.
This is by far my favorite boss in this game, everything was perfect
J'Nique has such a deep alto voice, I love her just as much as Emi.
Even after finishing this amazing game , i can not get this song out of my head 😍😍
Nier : Automata has one of the best OSTs in video games history 👍🏻
The OST is incredible good..some times i would stop playing just so i could hear the music better
we all want to get our memory erased to play this game again, and watch SNK again XD
That agonizing scream hidden in the beginning hits me after learning about this boss as a character.
I could listen to this song all day long.
This game is like no other when u play it for the first time the feeling of running around slashing and shooting robots that want to kill u is like no other feeling not just because of the gameplay but the music the music in this game is the reason why it’s so good in my opinion the music sets the tone it make u feel like a badass like a god, truly one of the best ost in gaming, when the music comes on in this game there is no time to die just fight, fight, and fight till u can’t no more
When it played during the 9S scène murdering massively machines in the tower, I realized...
This is'nt just Simone theme, this is the theme of madness and obsession
A beautiful song with a beautiful voice
I just stumbled across this video(haven’t played the game) and found it hauntingly beautiful.
Please play the game it's a masterpiece
Yup, music is masterpiece. Sights are just as good. And story is beyond imagining. 6 years after game release and it's still gaining fans. Believe me, it's worth your time.
I know its late but on the third note, where the song really starts, I swear there is a pain filled scream mixed in. The sung part, like the first two notes, remains, but you can also hear someone really screaming in agony
I thought only I'm so crazy to hear that or was just imagining. Good to know there are ppl who hear it too.
ah at last no souneffect ^^ ty for uploading
Amazing !!! New Nier got it !!:)
Yes, indeed! This is one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard
Count Artorias definitely is!
i love when they occasionally use some of the first Nier ost's aswell. Thank god SE revived this franchise
I just started playing nier automata and holy, the first time i fought this boss i immediately noticed the bgm. Nier soundtracks are absolutely banger even to this day
In a weird way, she does look rather beautiful. Excluding the corpses , she's got a nice dress, her proportions are even, and her abilities are rather strong, even if it does need a network. The guy that didn't notice her is a fool at minimum.
The amazing thing about this machine is it learned to hack and is the only machine that could hack androids.
@@00vondough00 the logic virus would like to disagree with you. this machine while not part of the network anymore could have used that to it's advantage
Top 5 boss fights ever made.
Soundtrack is in the top 3 best boss themes ever made.
My gosh this is powerful.
Listening to this and the 8bit version together sounds amazing!
Why is there even an 8bit version?
John Cassell oh man, when it flips 8 bit it's so good
Yea when I first heard the 8bit version of the song it took me by surprise did not expect 8bit music to be in this game at all but I am glad that it is I love every moment of it!
its odd how both androids and robots both who got to experience a glimmer of what its like to be human just completely lost its mind, or suffered great painsand proceeded to self destruct
When machines get emotions, we end up with beautifull songs like this one. Her pain is music to my ears ... Wait ! It is music !
man i wish i could get the feeling i got from hearing this song first time,it was glorious
This voice... MAAAAN the goosebumps
Thanks for including the bells. It's great and a shame that it's not part of the OST!
This boss was a monster that needed to be put down for the safety of everyone. It’s story is tragic yes, but it’s still a monstrous serial killer, cannibal, rogue robot who’s a threat to everyone.
this song, this game.... goty 2017
