Soo a while back some one posted a link to a blog post about their interpretation of nier: automata. Can any one link it again? I wanna share it with someone else.

That file is post-endgame, it isn't the report that reveals what YorHa is for to 9S. It's been a little while since I've played so I might be misremembering, isn't he actually told in person by the Commander that humanity is extinct, because he stumbled onto the files showing that the cargo launches to the Moon contain basically nothing?

He stumbles on that, sure but more importantly he stumbles onto a file detailing the council of humanity being set up by project yorha, which is, well, the wrong order. Other than that, you're right. 9s confronts the commander with this knowledge and she spills the beans

My love of jackass was cemented with the final box sorting quest so I am impressed that the game can come up with even more ways for her to be awesome.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nier-automata-shipments-and-digital-sales-reach-ne/1100-6450405/ 1.5 million copies. Glad to see this game achieving some measure of the success it deserves. Just wish it had a better release window, what with it being sandwiched between Horizon: Zero Dawn, Zelda, and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

People buying (or even pre-ordering) turds in a box sight unseen if it has the proper branding and getting what they deserve isn't particularly unusual or exciting though. Nor that there's a large number of them. Every kid has to learn that lesson at some point (or many points). And i imagine Automata might have a longer tail on sales as titles with decent word of mouth that flew a bit under the radar often do. Especially if it goes on sale.

I agree that it'll probably have a decent tail. Looking back through old LPs of the entire Drakenier universe, I'm still stunned that Automata was made at all. I can't imagine how it must have felt as a fan of the series when it was announced. It must be even more of a surprise for a Yoko Taro game to be a critical and financial success. It reminds me of the Dark Souls series, where the developers kept improving the formula established in King's Field and Demon Souls until it became a pretty big series. We may start seeing Nier-likes at some point that use the same gameplay/perspective shifts.

Don't know how it is everywhere else but three months into the release Automata consistently still makes it into the top 10 game sales in Japan. It's become a real list zombie

Did 9S really just want to gently caress 2B? Androids don't have the parts for that, I assume.

Yoko Taro clarified in a QnA that they don't, so it'd be kinda like mashing a Barbie doll and a Ken doll together. Either way, replace it with whatever four letter word you want, there are several that fit just fine. I like 'fish'

all that tells you is that you probably don't want to know what yoko taro considers an "absolutely totally extremely soulcrushingly BAD ENDing" though i doubt hes alone in being a bit pessimistic about us human dorks being around when you fast forward 11000 years into the future

i for one appreciate yoko taro being willing to make the good endings be miserable. though to be fair, i would say only the drakengard endings are absolutely bad edit: okay Nier's is pretty miserable but only if you read into it, surface level its just bittersweet.

Totally unrelated but my fiancée is making me an Emil mask so I can hang out at the poolside and look like a huge weirdo. http://imgur.com/a/bQ6aE I got a scarf with a pretty close pattern to Emil's, though it's not quite as faded. We'll also be hooking up bluetooth speakers to the inside so that I can blast Emil's English shop theme (thanks a bunch to the person who put that together) wherever I go. I'll barely be able to see or hear but it'll be great. She's great. Squidtentacle fucked around with this message at 19:30 on May 30, 2017 |
