Yakiniku Teishoku posted:From what I've read of the supplemental material & explanations it seems more like humanity and the replicants are both doomed because the replicant reproduction process is reliant on the gestalts. So once the current generation dies out only the other android observers will be left. Yonah will still die eventually & so will everyone else unless there are other stable gestalts like Nier out there somewhere to use as the backbone of the process (but it's heavily implied he's the only one they managed to discover/use in all the time before that). To me it seems like the overall theme & what we may see again in Automata is the struggle around the birth of new sentient life

I'm really glad they mentioned 9S' AI can be tinkered with to make him more active and that he can actually prove useful in battle; in all the previews and trailers so far he's been so passive, I was worried that even Platinum couldn't fix the useless AI sidekick syndrome that's always plagued the series.

I'm not going to let my AI buddy attack at all so I can hog all the coolness for myself unless it's the really cute short haired A2 from that trailer because she is cute and that's the only thing that matters. I can't wait for this game to come out, but I'm going to and get the EU release from Amazon instead of a JP digital copy or import because it comes with an Emil head T-Shirt for like £2 more than the regular version of the game.

If anyone else is going in to Automata without any prior Yoko Taro experience and wants a summary of the previous games, this is the first one I've seen that didn't just confuse me. It's by someone whose both clearly hugely obsessive with the series and also capable of talking about it in a well organized manner. It covers both the games and side material chronologically in less than 30 minutes, admittedly glossing over a lot of details. But if that's the price of actually being comprehensible, I'll take it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE6n2KGbaZ0 (So basically I learned that this poo poo is all just loving insane.)

The shorter version is, never play Drakengard and/or/especially Nier. It will only hurt you and break your heart.

I forgot if they showed 2B's eyes before, so I thought one of the big reveals was going to be her bandages(?) falling away and surprise she has red eyes oh poo poo!! I mean the twins I can't recall the name of have had their red eyes highlighted in trailers already (and I'm pretty sure those sweet tats of theirs has something to do with a certain red dragon) but still.

Also re: the death system, what a great way of incorporating the story's themes into the gameplay. Fighting your own corrupted former body??? I love that. Also guess it explains how 2B and 9S survived the ending of the demo...

Add in "HOLY poo poo PLAGUE" and boom, all you really need to know. poo poo's hosed, it was hosed tens of thousands of years ago, you will never fix the loving but maybe you can make a decent life for yourself and those you care about.

Okay, I've only learned the story from summaries and bits of LPs, but I'm up for a challenge: Acts by powerful entities can split reality. Christ's death caused a split. One side became our world, the other a magic land (when matter from one reality leaks into another it causes magic). In magic land, beings called watchers want to kill humans. They possess people, it's indicated by red eyes. During a big fight, they cross into our world. Now they possess people here. When someone refuses possession, they die. To survive this, humanity split their souls from their bodies, planning to reunite when the watcher's attacks subside. It goes poorly. Humans move to the moon. Exactly 100 words.

I knew literally nothing about Drakengard before and for some time after I played Nier and I never felt like I missed anything so I don't think a 30 minute video is really going to be necessary for Automata. The first game probably isn't necessary.

The first game probably isn't necessary. Yeah, they've straight up said you don't need to know anything at all, it just adds some extra depth. Like people earlier knowing that the robots in the recent promo vid are wearing masks from a village in the previous game. Or knowing that one of the red-eyed androids has a tattoo of the Cult of the Watchers and that the Robo Buddy has a flower similar to the evil one in Drakengard 3.

I know some people don't take their scoring too seriously, but Automata got a 39/40 score from Famitsu (for reference, original NieR scored 34/40). All around high marks for gameplay, story, graphics and music. Apparently load times can be a little prolonged? Length-wise, it will take around 10 hours to reach the first ending, 30 hours to reach the final ending, and if you do all the side quests, clocks in at around 50 hours. Also, dying before the completing the very first stage apparently nets you a special bonus ending.

Drakengard: Humanity is gangfucked by the gods/terrifying space babies, hero and dragon fall through portal to our world, both die Post-Drakengard/Pre-Nier - Humanity is gangfucked by magic plague/salt zombies, almost everyone dies, but some are saved due to science magic Nier: Humanity is gangfucked by shadow monsters/a different magic plague, a few people die, then everyone dies Post-Nier/Pre-Automata - Humanity is gangfucked by aliens/robots, humanity, finally seeing a pattern emerging, fucks off to the moon, makes better robots with magnificent asses Automata - robots with magnificent asses beat up other robots. That's it, that's the game. Is that a hundred words?
