Put simply, NieR: Automata is the greatest game ever made. It’s not just that it is the deepest and most narratively potent game ever developed - and it is a truly deep narrative experience - but more than that, Yoko Taro has finally found perhaps the developer on the planet capable of doing his visionary work justice. This game is a true, genuine work of art, and anyone who wants to prove that gaming does possess an equivalent to the greatest novels, operas, theatre plays, or paintings, now has that very game to point to. Yoko Taro is gaming’s Shakespeare, Da Vinci, and Welles, all rolled into one.

OK I just got the first two endings of Nier 1. I'm debating whether or not I should go for the third and fourth or just watch them on YouTube.

I really just want to play Automata but I feel guilty playing games without learning the lore first.

Hey friend I'm on the same journey as you, about how many hours do you think this took you? To do both endings total

joystiqs reviewer quit the game there and refused to review it

okay I feel a lot better now cause I was able to fish up some guys using the lures I could buy in town and eventually thought "there's no way they would make it this difficult" and looked at the map...thank you :)

also lol

Like there's a big picture of a fish on the map right?
it's not a pic of a fish it's a big red X same as every quest marker but this quest was made to feel more open ended...so you talk the quest from an old man who says to you "it's real easy to do, take this fishing rod and go fish at the beach" and there's a beach *literally* 4 feet away from where he is standing when he says this to you so you just go try it there but it turns out that's not the place!

If they slightly chnaged the dialogue to say "go fish at the beach outside of town" or something I'd have gone right to it....I'm not too beaten up about it cause I did figure it out on my own :hehe:

I finished NieR, all endings (that game is a storytelling masterpiece, I wish I played it 7 years ago, wow)

I started Automata this morning for a few minutes before work.the first thing I did was self destruct inside the space station as soon as 9S showed me how and it blew up the entire space station & I got ending U, goty.

Does this video game have more or less content/things to do than the original NieR? I'm approximately 30min in and it feels like a full blown RPG.

I'm still pretty early in the game and I had something happen that spooked me to the core...it started with "aint no way that area down there is explorable"

I just did that one last night at level 12, I realized the trick is to just have her run long enough to get the speed blast and not dash constantly then optimize your route. I had just one 8% movement speed equipped!

Does hard difficulty offer any extra bonuses/rewards?

it was really obvious that they were there right at the end of run B but i'm an unobservant idiot so i didn't notice the other times

I only noticed one once at the end of route B when 9S is running back to his fight unit from the bunker to go back to earth you can see one in the corner for one second before the cutscene plays

I'm thinking of sacrificing my save file and starting over fresh on hard cause I was OP after hour 6 of the game and nothing was even remotely challenging after that...I had to pull back on bosses just to hear all their dialogue

But I also want to be a bitch & backup my save to a usb stick first but I feel that is at odds with the entire point of the story and I could be starting my own cycle ala YoRHa??? & I would bring great shame to myself..I've ..I've never felt like this before,,this game is deep af..

6 months later this game's soundtrack is almost all I listen to anymore like it's still the new girlfriend...I really like running to Wretched Weaponry...I think about the cool plot reveals that happened while it plays during that great part in route B and I feel super determined to finish the run and push myself beyond my limits
