Honestly the actual gameplay is fairly medium but still good enough for the vibes to carry it the rest of the way. I know it expects multiple playthroughs but unless they're extremely different I may not bother. Easily worth £12 still.

They're completely different to the point of just being essentially chapters and to the point the game straight up tells you "hey you didn’t beat it keep going". Stopping would be the equivalent of just getting to the end of disc 1 in a PS1 game and being "I'm good, thanks"

I like that Automata reveals that your decisions in Gestalt/Replicant are specifically what ultimately dooms humanity to extinction

Yoko Taro's previous game had the most psychotically adversarial end boss I've ever seen, I spent about five hours on it then cheated syncing it up to youtube. Very memorable!

ive enjoyed videos made by dunkey, and have also thought dunkey was a Stupid person. and now i've played a game he published that i enjoyed....he's on the razor edge of my own personal discourse. my opinion on him is the last thing someone said to me. or the opposite of someone who i think is annoying. shroe dinger

i remember it being a neat arrange with a lot of misses. checking through again and lmao

i'd normally say it is ok to have an arrange be weird, better to have character than be bland. most of them do really suck and it's for an OST that people are already split on

the crash cymbal from whatever chip they were using is real loving special

yoko taro is a mad genius

he's now responsible for like 2-3 failed gacha games because he just takes the check and then writes some insane, incomprehensible poo poo and the monetization team struggles to build a game around it

the entirety of Nier is insane, to get all the lore and back story you would have had to read an old google doc floating around in the 2010s of a fan translated source book, know about some random short stories, radio plays, some unique lore dropped at OST concerts, and then later he even wrote in major lore backstory to Nier in the Nier gacha as a time limited event.

I see people calling Stellar Blade the next Nier but the online discourse around the game is so loving bizarre I'm not even gonna check into it until it gets a PC release.

the multi-week epilogue story to the ffxiv nier quests are great. everyone got mad because they wanted lore answers but it was actually yoko taro doing a yoko taro story but with dwarves.

also the story split based off a binary choice, with the outcome being decided based on what the majority of the server decided to do. every single server made the same choice so we don't know what the other outcome was

I was trying to read about the Stellar Blade discourse because I thought it’d be entertaining because I like trash and I don’t think it’s actually real.

If you go to like the Reddit for Stellar Blade or anything no one is actually complaining. It’s just YouTubers trying to mine outrage, but I don’t have evidence outrage exists from anyone besides them.

iirc there's new, canon info that was inscribed on Nier Replicant/Automata PC cases that were sold in Japan a few years ago
