One thing I wish they changed in the story was revealing 9S to be a real boy and all the other androids are equipped with shota-lust and functioning reproductive/erogenous organs. 2B then has to fight to protect her waifu's chastity, but 9S becomes the Caim of Rape and impregnates everyone anyway.

In one iteration, maybe.

In the game? Definitely not.

If I'm being completely honest, I really don't think routes A and B needed to be separate things. 9S is kind of crap in comparison to 2B so I don't think losing the repeat fights with him is much of a loss. I also probably would have liked him more if didn't give off such a strong vibe of annoying tagalong sidekick in route A due to being an npc.
>>
>>171390526
They both died too recently. Copyright on their names/works and such are in effect until 70 years after they die, if I remember right. Jap copyright law is different so they can get away with it but not us.

That's why the English dub of jojo always changes the music names.
>>
>>171390616
Good thing i bought the JP version then
>>
>>171390637
No 9S is the real main and 2B is not. So the story would just make you play as 9S for most of it instead.

2B's importance is in relation to A2 and 9S, especially when she's dead.

In the flooded city?
I just hacked a random stubby, waddled my ass over, hacked the next building over flyer, then hacked the drillsnake.
That drillsnake has some insane airtime and one of its attacks is a sustained speedboost so both together let you just lazily float over.
>>
>>171392549
Don't bother. Flyers change to ground based when you control them. I have no idea what bs you have to use to get that damn thing. I was thinking of maybe luring a flyer over there then grappling it with wire, but they all fly to low.

>>171392549
>Wow ok, so my plan to use a flyer for the chest is not possible then.
Running jump, double jump, glide, light attack while gliding, air dash, glide again.
Also, if you press forward and light attack after jumping, your pod flings your forward. You can get there without hacking a robot.

Don't stay on v and vg threads, you will be blasted by spoilers, and this game is heavily plot oriented, so knowing things in advance will ruin your experience.

Also, there are "5 endings" but the first 2 are merely the first half of the game with different perspective. Do not stop until you did at least the third route (C or D).

Come back once you have done at least all the main ending (ABCDE).

Nietzsche never said life didn't have intrinsic meaning, Nihilism amounts to "literally nothing has meaning outside of what you decide to give it so get out there and start labelling". If you go that way the mere fact that the game is asking [you] if you're willing to sacrifice for a total stranger, instead of deciding one way or another on its own, is kind of nihlistic.

If Popola and Devola are a version of androids that can get drunk for example or even have sex (dunno if that's true tho), then is possible for any other YoRHa android to have sex too right?

Seems like the game is implying the machines are trying to evolve to become humans, while the Androids are the ones closer to be humans, especially 9S after going nuclear and reaching ending E.

That means the "new humanity" are the androids no?

There's no reason for both 9S and 2B to be extremely embarrassed when that robot asked about how children are made unless they are both capable of having sex.
The only confirmed dickless androids we saw in the game are faggy brother duo and they weren't strictly modelled after humans like YoRHa ones.
>>
>>171396102
Some faggots on /v/ quoting the books and the wikia saying Popola and Devola have functions way over the standard android, even saying they can have sex and shit.

That's why I asked here, maybe that's a lie.

>>171396173
Nigger sorry for spoiling this to you.

Humanity is dead for more than thousands of years after the last gestalt died after the sacrifice of shadowlord, the humans are all extint and there is nothing left.

All what we have is the data on the moon which only purpose is creating more replicants, but maybe thanks to evolution Androids can be the new humans considering what happened with 9S.

Using Pod A right now with the laser beam program you get from the prologue. It's kinda slow to kill things but it's a good finisher, the laser beam program I especially enjoy.

I'm not sure if the other androids would waste time dealing with the Yorha higher-ups any more.

Jackass sounds like she's out for blood because of all the pointless sacrifice, but you'd think that leaders like Anenome would think that it would be a waste of time to hunt down HQ now that the war is maybe/probably over and androids are all that left of humanity.

Automata is probably the most overtly connected to the other games out of all of them, especially to the original Nier. Still, it's its own self-contained story for the most part, so if you just wanna dip your toes into the universe then it's as good a starting point as any.

Anyway, in the nvidia control panel I hard disabled vsync for Nier and set max prerendered frames to 4. This MAY have reduced that stuttering a bit, at least on my 970. Anyone else willing to see if this works for them?

The ending of the game makes everything worth it.
If you disregard the technical issues, the story is pretty fucking solid. But with this game, I'd advise purchasing it and all the prologue DLCs as a lot of game's highlights are from the prologue DLCs. Two best girl.
If this game got remade in collaboration with Platinum, it'd totally topple over Automata.

Listen to some of its OST, it's really solid too.

Just bought the game on Steam.

GTX 780 Ti, game crashed seven times during the intro sequence. I looked for solutions online but there are none except "wait for a patch" so I refunded the game.

Thinking about just giving up on PC gaming and moving over to consoles this year. I'm getting really sick of this shit.

You didn't try to help. You just said "it works for me" which is totally fucking useless to say because it has no relevance to the issue.

Try explaining WHY it "just works" for you, and that would be useful. But to do that, you'd first need to understand the problem so you could troubleshoot by trying to recreate the problem on your end to isolate what's causing it.

But you don't actually give a shit, so no, you're not "trying to help". You're just gloating and being smug about what a great time you've had so far, so fuck off.

You go through the whole story again, ending with the Eve fight, albeit it's a bit shorter due to 9S getting kidnapped and all that. Then after a very brief bit of 9S in route C, you play A2.

You do have to play through the factory again backwards, while posessing various robots and hacking doors open for 2B

>>171416107
Emil's special boss sequence.
It is that questline that lead to end Y (after finishing the lunar tear questline and upgrading every weapons to lvl4). You absolutely must fail it at the very end to activate end Y, as if you don't, you will clear the quest, effectively preventing you to redo it for the ending.

>>171416164
Your save will never have the Y in its list!
>>
>>171416324
It's just the three of them repaired with their memories intact
>>
>>171416107
There's a secret boss you can fight who will try to self destruct. If you want ending Y, you have to let him do it. Since the quest will be finished once you beat the boss, you can't go back and get the ending if you save.

You'll know when it happens.
>>
>>171416228
You get the 5 main endings (ABCDE) in a linear order, so you get ending B after A, C after B and so on. You will be given more chances to complete whatever quests you didn't find/finish.
Now get the fuck out before you're spoiled
>>
>>171416324

Only those three were resurrected, the cycle begins again but probably not because of those three, there's still hope for the future even though the machine war begins again in the distant future because of the fact that they're still around then and able to fight to make a difference rather than as gears in the machine of the cycle

As far as Taro games go, it's not that fucked.

Like yes, okay, there's extremely few sentient beings around and machines will likely need some time to get sorted. But once they find stable livelihood and have rebuilt communities, everyone can live normally with no bullshit unless something alien invasion tier happens again.

It's not DMC, I'll warn you. It has a good combat system, but enemies are not the same level of complexity. A lot of the time it's sorta like playing a Dynasty Warriors game but with DMC combat, if that makes sense.
Less emphasis on stylishly comboing enemies that will kill you in three hits and more emphasis on tearing apart waves of enemies, albeit nowhere near as mindless as Dynasty Warriors.

It's still great though. Good gameplay elevated by lots of charm and a great story. You might miss some of the winks and nods having not played NieR, but the main story doesn't have much to do with it.

It's not nearly as deep or complex in action as DMC and similar games, but it feels real good to play and has some interesting bits to its combat system that you don't see in DMC like being able to use ranged attack options simultaneously with your melee attack options. The Platinum touch is real.

It's the story and Yoko Taro direction that sets Automata apart from most video games, though. It's not for everyone, but if you engage with the subject matter you will almost certainly enjoy it. You can get a good 30 to 80 hours out of it, depending on whether you're just in it to see the five main endings or you want 100% completion or a second playthrough on higher difficulties.

Be forewarned though that currently the game has a random crash issue with all Nvidia 780ti cards that hasn't been patched yet.

>>171417264
Not really, Nier is more of a JRPG with a cool battle system. There aren't really styles or long juggling combos you can because you're usually swamped by enemies. It's still fun though, and I'm sure I saw some weapon-switching combos on my PS4 playthrough.

He was a pawn of the machine AI god little girl hologram thing. Adam was just sort of an unintended side effect of machines evolving. Bad shit was gonna happen no matter what you did, although you did make it worse temporarily.
>>
>>171418128
I wonder what would've happened if 9S never suffered a reset and met him here.
Both him and Adam/Eve are really similar, he would probably never attack him if he wasn't brainwashed by retarded yorha propaganda or got over it.
>>
>>171418271

>He was a pawn of the machine AI god little girl hologram thing.

I don't think so, Tim. If he was, he wouldn't have surprised N2 time and time again and ultimately changed the end goal of the machine race.
>>
>>171418268
A2 lost the skin on her breasts. That's why they look small.
>>
>>171418268

They are not.
A2 is a basis for B/E lines and also an experimental model who is way stronger combat-wise.

He was self-aware enough to have his own will and not be controlled by the network and freely disconnect himself from it, but at the same time although he did have some control over the network N2 was still the one that truly controlled it, so Adam was pretty much just another being caught up in all of this and bad shit was still gonna happen regardless of how the androids interacted with him

Emil is a canon homosexual so take a wild guess.

You can get pretty fancy with weapon set switching to mix up combo strings, its just not essential on normal

That's why i'm enjoying hard; there's actusl benefit to keeping enemies locked in combos and getting fancy, as doing so helps you avoid damage
>>
>>171418616

Again, a pawn isn't someone that surprises you time and time again. That's the exact opposite of a pawn. N2 had no power over Adam whatsoever, neither the ability to predict what he would do nor the ability to force him to do what N2 wanted (which was at the time to wipe out the last traces of humanity). As you probably recall, Adam fucking loved humanity.

Damn this game is fucking good, really good.

I spoiled myself with the story and some details but playing by yourself is another whole experience, just finished ending A and that hit me hard as hell, how 2B changed during the game thanks to 9S and how the entire perspective they used to have about the machines changed.

Now it's time to start the second playthrough, by the way, I need to use the same save file to get ending B now? because after the credits the game asked me to save and I did it.

PS: 2B deserves to be happy.
>>
>>171418791
N2 had no power over Adam whatsoever, but N2 still had control over the rest of the machine network, which is the thing that actually caused all of the bad things to happen after Adam was already dead

I'm not saying that Adam was just a pawn, I'm saying that sparing Adam would have ultimately made no difference, the whole Adam and Eve arc barely factors into the things that caused all the suffering and despair

And if you're going to say "But they could have controlled the machines and stopped the war", remember that Adam willingly disconnected himself from the network altogether so he could feel closer to an individual human, and certainly would have still done that if he didn't go straight into conflict with the androids

Eve never disconnected himself from the network, though. And Adam could always have just reconnected to the network if he disagreed with N2's plans. They were both quite capable of preventing the bad things that happened, but the fact that they failed to for their own character shortcomings (Adam being too thirsty for knowledge for his own good and Eve being too emotional to understand Adam got exactly what he wanted the most and he should be happy for him) is very important to the theme of the game, which is that even the ones who have the power to do something as extreme as break the cycle fail to for personal reasons.

nope, you unlock chapter select once you beat route C. there are a lot of quests they actually don't expect you to do until you're in route B, actually.

When you get to the flooded city, which is literally the ocean, don't do any main objectives there until you've done all the sidequests you want to do. There are a couple sidequests you can only do by going into the flooded city. Just ignore the main objective there and you'll be fine.

You're basically right before you go to the flooded city for the main quest, so be aware.

I've been playing for 11 hours, is it really that long?

Does the alien mask do anything or was it a waste of 200,000g?

Gay af desu senpai, the game literally gives you everything you need
>>
>>171422413
Sidequest progress is constant between endings on that save file, you can never redo a sidequest that you've already completed at any point in that file
>>
>>171422605

The best spear is secretly the machine spear because it gets stronger the more enemies you kill with it once it's at level 4 and it caps out at the best damage values for any spear in the game
>>
>>171422692

The inventor guy is great because he sells Meteorite, which is rare as shit for most of the game. The Alien Mask is just an accessory.

You will be able to clean the sidequests up eventually but I honestly don't think it's a good idea to leave them until after you've finished route C where you get the chapter select. Some of the story context and foreshadowing is fantastic and will enhance later main story stuff if you do the sidequests first.

The point of no return for sidequests is the missile escort mission in the flooded city so try and do as many as you can before then in route A.

Can someone explain this optional boss thing for me? I really don't want to miss something.

Put it in spoilers if it's important story wise, so people don't accidentally get spoilered.

>>171422654
I've heard somewhere around 60 hours for 100%. I'm at about 36 myself and just got ending E, with minimal screwing around along the way.

Is there any way to open the doors behind the kamikaz robots or is it just some taro meme?

Oh cool, I have the three machine weapons. I used the machine axe as a heavy weapon for a while and enjoyed it. Do all of the machine weapons have that trait? Because that's pretty dope.

Yes they all get that ability at level 4, not sure how the sword or axe hold up against their competition though so can't comment on those yet
>>
>>171422864

Taro memetry

>>171422654

I've sunk about 54 hours into it and I'm thisss close to 100%ing everything.

Also, I'd advise you to do all the sidequests you can stomach. You can always pick them up in another playthrough but they add a lot of flavor text.

>>171422837
It's not important to the story but not everyone knows Emil is an optional boss at the end of his questline.

Just let him blow himself up when he tries to.

There's just a lot of poop.
Tell your friends it's just all poop.

It's important to note that the "optional boss" is just a reskin and level up of a previous storyline boss.

The damage numbers change is cancer, but the Cypress Stick is the best weapon in the game. Its crits go into several thousands of damage (highest I've seen is like 8k damage in one hit) and it crits like every fifth attack.
>>
>>171423178

In gameplay terms sure.

Kind of a big deal otherwise though.
>>
>>171423202
why do you even have damage numbers enabled, thats [3] you could be using on a more useful chip

Literally to compare damage numbers

The machine kid that you are supposed to escort to his mom died. Can I try this again at some point or am I fucked if I want 100% completion?
>>
>>171423202
Who is better for crit procs, 2B or 9S?
9S seems to have way higher number of total hits per combo, especially on heavy combo where he spins the blade like circular saw.
>>
>>171423397

You can try it again on another playthrough or once you unlock chapter select
>>
>>171423138
Memes aside and the whole "DIE AND BECOME AS GODS" he actually meant that both sides (america and terrorists) thought that they were in the right and did whatever they had to do whether it was actually right or wrong
>>
>>171423438

9S is better for crit procing yeah, I never took the Cypress Stick off of him because I was killing things, even big armored things, faster than if I had hacked them
>>
>>171423438
>>171423576

2B fair, 2B does have multi hit attacks out the wazoo on her light sword moveset

Thank (you)! Caught one in the canyon straight away and finally got my 100% completion. Was misled by another fishing guide apparently. Going to start a very hard save-deletion run. I will remember you forever for this anon <3

Nothing at all anon, he must have bugged out obviously.

This peaceful, happy village will surely turn out alright in the end in this Yoko Taro video game.

This was pretty much the point where she stopped being able to just completely suppress her emotions.

How come the fucking dead aliens look like the martians from Metal Slug?

The game is telling me I have one unfinished quest from chapters 2 to 5 but nothing is showing up on the map. What the fuck?
>>
>>171423742
Yeah she has but her combo string is all about forward advancement while 9S just methodically cuts things to pieces by using the blade as a circular saw like a mad maniac he is.
>>
>>171423081
>>171423178
So in other words there is a secret boss fight, which is a sidequest and it's Emil and he tries to blow himself up, if I let him do that, I'll get ending Y (which leads to a "Game Over"). After that I can just beat him and complete that sidequest. But if I beat him without letting him blow up, the quest finishes and I could never redo that sidequest, since sidequests are tracked across all saves, leading to a missable ending. Resulting in like a 99.9% savefile, correct?.
>>
>>171424045
Around machines never... eh I can't think of a good rhyme

Probably the Improving Communications quest at the bunker?

Hidden quests, maybe?

Did you talk to the downed Goliath near the Resistance Camp? I don't think he shows up as a ??? quest marker.

Terrible pop-ins. Dropping framerates. Forced to run in windowed mode due to fullscreen being busted. All this on an i7 and gtx 1080.

Why? Ten extra days and $60 extra to get fucked in the ass? This is why I pirate shit. Everyone involved should be embarrassed.
>>
>>171424402
Well it's only day two. Revegeance had a pretty rocky start as well. Best thing to do is wait it out for now.
>>
>>171424285
Yes. If you've done everything else, which you probably did, do ending [E] and you're done
>>
>>171424304
>>171424330
That one is done.

>>171424374
This one too.

I'm starting to doubt even A2 would be able to take him if he wasn't a completly mad, broken mess that stopped all logical thinking.
>>
>>171424504
I did. Bought the PS4 version to hold me over while i waited. If they were gonna release a busted port, it should have been side by side with PS4 so maybe by this time, they would have this shit iron'd out.

Half-Wit Inventor. You have to give him a shitload of money though.
>>
>>171424898
Maybe I'm being too simplistic but I thought it just meant 9S is too blinded by his emotions and lacks perspective
>>
>>171424954
In ending C she only beats him by hacking into him, and in ending D she actually loses, he just dies too by running into her sword
>>
>>171425032
Its not the animal-loving machine?!
>>
>>171425067

She only loses in D because 2B's memories stopped her when she was kicking 9S's ass all over the place and was ready to finish him off.
>>
>>171425096
Shit that might be it actually. Half-Wit Inventor does get you a different satchet though.

I don't think so, animals started spawning at all my save points when I did the Half-Wit inventor quest and that was way before I did the Animal-Loving Machine quest.
>>
>>171425067
You've got that completely ass backwards.

She wins the fight in ending C and then hacks him so that she can save his sorry ass, she just cut off his 2B hand, you think he was gonna make a comeback?

And even in ending D, she wins the fight and is about to land the finishing blow but 2B's memories distract her and let 9S kill her in her moment of hesitation, not without also killing himself in the process of course.

Anon they delayed the PC release for a whole week specifically to try to stamp out as many bugs as they could
