What the gently caress is this?

Seems pretty obvious that it's a rap based on Horizon Zero Dawn

it's not too bad if you mute it and scroll up a bit to cover up the subtitles.

So, were you guys hooked out the gate on Nier or does it take some time? I'm definetly liking it to some degree after a few hours, but it feels a little...bland? I guess. I did just run into a weird rear end story beat which ups my interest :lol: robots trying to gently caress but the gameplay and exploration seem super bare bones and it isn't much to look at (nice art direction/music though) I'm kind of hoping it ramps up to a point where I'm feeling less ambivalent about the whole thing.

Their are gameplay changes but they aren't going to change drastically and the story racks up in insanity as you go, especially endings D,E.

who, me?


By like the middle of playthrough 2 I was hooked by the general tone and weirdness of the thing, and the story really ramps up from there until the last ending, which is just amazing.

It's kind of a whole picture thing.

I'd say keep doing side quests and keep going through Route B and see how you feel. There's a Majora's Mask-esque quality to how the side quests flesh out the different communities and Route B does a lot to flesh out the machines. Hammer out the machines? Steel plate the machines?

Everyone keeps talking about multiple endings in Nier:A.

How long is one play through?

Route A is 10+ hours depending on how many sidequests you ignore(but you should do them because they tie into the worldbuilding / mainstory)
Route B is ~5 hours
Route C is another 10+ hours, once again depending on sidequests.
Route D and E are like 10 mins because you can just skip right to the end of C and pick the other choice.

So at least 25-30 hours, probably closer to 40 if you do most of the sidequests.

Nothing to see here.
I'm 28 hours in Nier 2 and working on ending C. I've finished all but two side quests and unlocked 83% of the weapons. I figure about four more hours on ending C. So pretty meaty. I haven't grinder to get the All Weapons Maxed ending yet to that will likely be another couple of hours.

On the verge of finishing/platinuming HZD. What a loving incredible game, I stopped playing Nioh to try it and haven't been able to go back. I really hope they do a Witcher 3 style DLC. Sony exclusives are hitting it out of the park right now.

I also think a prequel game where you play as the human forces would rock; getting slaughtered from city to city to buy time for a super weapon that doesn't exist would make for a really compelling game. Listening to the military dudes recordings was pretty grim. "Hey honey we may have a chance" to "Oh god they just keep coming..."

there isn't an all weapons maxed ending in nier automata

unless it's one of the gag endings. the main endings are very easy and obvious to figure out (just play the game and you're bound to get the true ending), unlike every other yoko taro game ever made

Maxing all the weapons (and doing all the sidequests, IIRC) doesn't unlock an ending, but it DOES unlock an optional boss fight that ties up a few loose story treads.

Last kickstarter update says march 28th for Steam and PS4, and checking humble where the kickstarter key was redeemed, it still doesn't have a download link for me. Maybe only people at a special tier?

Said boss fight does lead to a permanently missable joke ending if you don't die during a part of it though.
It's just some lines of text but it's the one genuine missable thing on the game.

Well I got into a Cauldron in HZD expecting to get some answers as to what happened in the past. Now I only have more questions, because this clearly isn't the same architecture or technology as in the Ruins :suspense:.

Yeah, it gets better the deeper into the rabbit hole you go. Make sure to read/listen to all of the focus things you come across in the main quest lines.

Where I live, stores haven't been selling new PS3s for a good long while.

Didn't last quite as long as the PS2, but close enough - PS2s stopped being made 13 years after launch, and this'll be 11 years for the PS3.

Holy poo poo some random Japanese tattoo artist I have on Instagram just spoiled part of the plot of Horizon for me.

His instagram story was just some cut scene of a game, I watched it for like 8 seconds until it cut to Aloy. God dammit Internet.

I hate this. but it is part of the internet. I get that people want to share cool/awesome/funny or engaging moments. Just wish it could be done without spoiling stuff. I can only play Nier.A for an hour or 2 each day. everbody is already at the end and spoling some moments. Have managed to avoid them so far.
