I just finished playing Nier Automata and... it wasn't that amazing.

A solid 7/10, definitely overrated as fuck.
Are people just having a >MUH PLATINUM GAMES mindset or something?

>>375975324

To confirm: When you say "finished", you mean ending E, right? Because any earlier ending than that means anything you say is invalid.
>>
Honestly PS4 fans have been overrating everything lately.

It happened with Yakuza 0, Nioh and Nier Automata, I can't say about Horizon since I haven't played and Persona 5 looks legitimately good.
>>
What were you expecting? These games are never better than 7/10 at best. You're mistaking people being excited about a Drakengard game being better than 2/10 for a GOTY nomination.
>>
>>375975324
Weebs have much smaller brains than humans. All they can really see is the anime. You're right though as the game is actually really weak and has no depth. It's just a mildly interesting story and has good music.
>>
Overrated is a meaningless opinion, it's literally just saying you didn't like it as much as fanatics.

It's a lot of babbys' first Platinum game and it's just easy enough to make them feel like they're overcoming far more than they actually are.

For you to say it's overrated you were already set for disappointment because you went in with high expectations.

I beat the game last night.
I loved Ending E, but why do people say the story is "deep" and "complex" it really isn't, it tackles simple themes about free will and consciousness, is there something I'm missing?

Is this game for me if I couldn't stomach more than one route in Drakengard 3? It is worth to note that that game had a lot of problems this one doesn't (framerate and terrible combat system)
>>
>>375975324
Speaking as a platinum games fan I was left incredibly disappointed.

The combat looks and feels great, but it is in no way challenging and literally halves your combat options when you start as 9S because he only has 1 weapon. The hacking mid-combat is easily the most jarring, flow-killing mechanic I've seen in an action game.

The sidequests are all tedious, there's fucking invisible walls EVERYWHERE. I got through halfway my 2nd playthrough with 9s and just had to stop, it almost feels like the game doesnt want me to enjoy playing it, so I'm not going to.

If this game didnt have some of the best animations ive ever seen and some great music to complement it I wouldnt have even looked twice after the demo

I don't really see anyone besides false flaggers calling the game extremely deep. Taro games have never been about telling some super complex story that needs 50 billion lore videos to explain what the fuck is going on, they're all concise in their message and themes. I think most of the praise comes from the way it tells its story, as it's one of the few games to use the gaming media effectively.

Philosophy majors who have never heard of Yoko Taro before think it's the most thought provoking game of all time.

Seriously it blows my mind how people lose their shit over this game. The combat is so incredibly lackluster. Love the music, and when the bosses are good the game is great, but they're so few and far between. Horrible fetch quests and ultra slow escort missions, I just don't get it.
>>
>>375978394
Actually this, how fedora can you get, faggot probably took philosophy 101 and it's calling everything simple.

Pro tip: Fiction doesn't really go much further than that, because most of the insights occur in the mind of the viewer, not directly from the mouth of the characters.
>>
>>375978485
Getting immersed in the world, the characters, and the story is what made the game for me. The combat was fun, albeit not terribly complex. A lot of the annoying quests are optional, and I skipped them—you could've too you know, 100%ing games is a waste of time.
>>
>>375977203
Basically this. The game tackles its' themes in a unique way that could probably not be done in another medium other than video games, and few video games have ever even attempted it.

The themes themselves aren't particularly unique or original though, nor are they incredibly deep. They've been used in countless stories across video games, movies and books.

I dont need to finish a game to know If I enjoyed playing it or not.

In fact its an inherent failure of the game dev to not keep the players interest during the first several hours of play.

I could stick my hand on a heated oven element for 20 hours, it might stop being incredibly painful after 5-6 hours, doesn't mean it was a good experience.

Any complaints about combat being simple, having strange balance, or all that, I'll not contest such arguments.
It does have variety with the various shmup-mixing. It's a matter of the player having some taste for pretty, simple combat. If you don't like the hacking and/or combat, that's OK.

It's probably gonna be my game of the year and I've got every console and a PC.

I can see why some people might not feel the same way, but I can genuinely say it's a narrative that can only work as well as it did as a video game a lot of care was put into the small moments. It's far from the best combat I've experienced but the way it was put together was simply amazing

It had to be overrated otherwise PS4 would look like a shit console compared to the Switch which only had one fucking game.

2B's ass aside, the game is pretty good.

The combat is pretty varied since you can engage enemies from range with your robot that shoots bullets or go close quarters with different weapon types. You have katanas, great swords, spears, and hammers (maybe among other things)

2B's ass is just the icing on the cake.

Eh. The gameplay's honestly below Transformers Devestation in comparison to other Platinum games. Enemies are mainly punching bags and your options in fighting them are really simple, and the dodge is incredibly generous with iframes.

So far Automata is my Game of the Year. I enjoyed the story with its themes and characters, I enjoyed the combat and I enjoyed the way it took advantage of the fact it was a game to tell its story. I know it has some shortcomings and that's fine.

That said I think some of the reaction to it was magnified due to it being one of the first, really solid AA titles to be released in quite a while where we got to have a game that had enough of a budget to manage some moderately decent production values but small enough so that it could do what it wanted without having to appease an overly inflated sale quota.

Also how the game was originally released without expecting to ever be able to release any DLC so we received an actual complete game was nice.

9S's playthrough is kind of a necessary evil to tell the story they wanted to tell, unfortunately. If you go from just the events of Route A to the beginning of Route C without ever seeing the events from his perspective you won't appreciate when he goes completely nuclear. And throwing in those details as some random exposition here and there would have been way worse than Route B.

I understand that it was necessary, but I think that they should have merged Route A and B together, and have Route B cover A2 until the point where their stories converge.

Pretty much, Automata is every bit as mediocre a game as the first Nier was, but since it's by Platinum and the battle effects are now 200% flashier people think it's great instead.
>>
>>375977203
>Taro games have never been about telling some super complex story that needs 50 billion lore videos to explain what the fuck is going on,
Yeah, instead you just need to read the prequel novels, printed encyclopaedia, watch the stage play, and look up his Q&A interviews, because Taro is a master at leaving half the story out of the actual game.

Why do people call the game pretentious or say it was shallow? Sure, it's not making any philosophical revelations, but the themes it uses throughout the story are used well and don't come off as pretentious at all.

Just about every game that's widely given 10/10-esque scores is overrated as fuck.

Granted, I don't know in this case because I haven't played NieR, but every time I do try out a game that's given a shit-ton of rewards it ends up being meh-tier.

>heh your game touches on these philosophical elements, but it didn't do anything new *tips fedora*
>>
>>375988594

This. Or at least actually make the 9S story completely distinct. I actually had a good time with the second half of the game after that annoying bullshit since I wasn't pointlessly retreading old ground with a few measly additions. I already had to put up with it in Nier Gestalt, so no fucking way are you getting another pass.

What pisses me off the most is that Taro actually had a damn good idea with the ending boss fight sequence. A single-player co-op switch-off mechanic that even has a plausible and immersive in-game explanation? Holy shit, why the FUCK didn't you exploit this more? Even despite how easy the boss fight was due to a poorly designed leveling curve, my dick was diamonds all throughout that ridiculous extended fight.

The most unfortunate thing about it is how he sacrifices such an interesting mechanic to shoehorn in another set of mediocre endings. Say what you will about Drakengard, but at least its endings were clearly off the deep end. In comparison, Automata feels disappointingly meek.

Hm, no?
You can literally hack with 2B's pod later in the story, you can also switch between characters in the 3rd run AND in an actual fight. It was a incredible mistake of game design, Run B is unjustifiable.

Automata's ending is the thematic culmination of the entire game. It wouldn't make sense for it to be anything other than what it is.
>>
>>375994874
I'm kinda sad that they missed out on A2 so much in favor of more 9S. I get that he's the main protagonist, but her backstory is actually pretty interesting if they bothered to explore it more. Seeing her change from kind hearted crybaby to Punished 2B would've been great, and would've help reflect 9S's transformation as well.
>>
>>375995086

It's more implied than explicit, but I understood the game as placing the player as the emerging artificial intelligence between the two helper pods rather than actually being 9S or A2. Hence the whole switch off mechanic where the player is aggressively trying to save both characters as agreed upon in the independent pod dialogues. It becomes more obvious during the second to last boss fight where taking any damage switches characters. You lose control of 9S/A2 because the helper pod's connection has been interrupted.

Give Taro Yoko another 5 or so years and he'll probably be back with even more ridiculous bullshit that's precisely about that stuff. I mean, he did manage to do the alien bullshit he was talking about way back in Nier Gestalt interviews.

This dumbfuck retard plays only one ending (basically 1/3rd of the game) and gives it a 7/10 lol.

You literally missed pretty much the entire game.

I bought it on steam and played the first hour or so. Was definitely interesting but the combat felt simplistic or easy kinda compared to other P* games. Planning on going back to it once I 100% Zelda.

4/10 dropped.

In all seriousness I agree with OP. It's definitely overrated, mostly because it just feels needlessly padded out and overstays it's welcome with the replays. Still memorable and probably one of my favorite soundtracks in ages. I don't regret it, but I was hoping to love it- instead I just liked it.

>in favor of more 9S.
He is not even that depth when you play him in the 3rd Run, he was just angry.
Characters are clearly not a strong point in Automata.
You play like 1~2 hours with A2 and you see her one time before that.
2B can be a interesting after you know the truth, but that don't make her character depth in the actual game, she feel like a plot tool.
>>
>>375996441
The game is 7~8/10 even after that, stop being delusional.
