Good game, but even in its own series there's better.

>>378478757
Heh. Stupid secondary. You just don't get it. This is YOKO. FUCKING. TARO. It doesn't "get" good, thats the point buddy, YOKO TARO. A mind as feeble as yours could never truly appreciate the genius of YOKO FUCKING TARO. The tedious combat represents the tedium in our lives, and being constantly interrupted to go play the hacking minigame symbolizes our desire to escape from the tedium, but only into another form of it. There is no escape, just like there is no escape from BASED YOKO TARO bringing us on his LOONY MAD MAN WILD RIDE yet again! You secondaries will just never get it!

>>378478653
Sell this game to me without using ass or babby's first plot about existentialism.

>>378479134
I feel like this is some reddit copy pasta.

>>378479065
Example

>>378479065
Gameplay-wise Automata destroys everything he did before, both in terms of general gameplay and interactivity like that 2B maintenance segment.
In terms of story it's impossible to even compare them unless you have serious brain damage as it's impossible to compare existential drama with black comedy or critique of video game violence.

I just got to the peaceful robot village and I'm not sure how I feel about this game

There are moments where its kinda really slow so far but that just makes me enjoy the atmosphere a lot
I really hope there are more moments as crazy as THIS CANNOT CONTINUE but I don't know if I have the patience to reach it in a timely manner when I can just play FFXV or Bloodborne more instead

>>378478653
You can spam it all you want. Shit won't ever be that relevant.

I'll pick it up this holiday for $20-30 maybe maybe since RDR2 is next year. A long with the fact Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2's not guaranteed to launch this fall.

>>378479331

best love story in video games, decent gameplay, amazing atmosphere, heart-wrenching plot twists.

>>378480062
I really didn't think so. I played the demo and the combat was alright but it doesn't even hold a candle to NGB or DMC3. What does this game have that those don't besides fapbait and a pretentious 2deep4u plot?

>>378479265
Both Drakengard 1 and Nier 1 are better than their sequels

The area in which Automata shines is not the plot, but how its existential themes are built into the world and wonderfully contextualised for the player.
The themese themselves are nothing new, it's about how it embraces the medium to explore them.

>>378480481
Ok, that's something. Care to elaborate or give an example?

>>378480437
Automatas gamdplay is barebones and super flashy so storyfags can get their fix and move to the next cutscene

Dont be fooled, this is a game that was much better off as a VN

If you want genuine opinions, you should ask friends of yours who've played it themselves, both those who liked it and who didn't. You'll get nothing but shitposting from /v/.

The combat's been simplified from Platinum's usual deal so as not to gate the story from the less hardcore-inclined, but what it lacks in that regard it makes up for in fluidity of movement and quality of life stuff.

There's lots of sidequests to do and a majority of them have their own sort of side stories, some of which include lore building and foreshadowing, and doing them usually takes about 5-10 minutes, even if they're a bit tedious (like the escort missions).

The story quests themselves involve constant wham moments that always leave you wondering what's going on and what's going to happen next.

That's my two cents, but if you're insistent on not liking it, there's nothing I'd be able to say to change your mind.

Did anybody else notice that if your username has numbers in it that it will allow you to use a YoRHa designator based on your username for your death messages?

Like, my ID ends with 4D and it lets me call myself 4D in messages.

That's breddy neato.

>>378479232

Calling it "babies first" is kind of fucking stupid as it exists in reply to other works

Not that you've read those works

>>378480959
>you should ask friends of yours who've played it themselves

I don't have any weeb friends though.

You can cry and bite your pillow as much as you like but Nier Automata will keep its name as an excellent game and will continue to sell well.

>>378478757
K keep me posted

>>378480231
is ngb2 worth playing?

>>378481120
Thats good, and hopefully Taro can make a better game after that.(but hopefully leaves Nier setting for good, theres nothing left to do there and the android characters arent that interesting)

Id really like a real Drakengard 4, full musou with dragons, not this railshooter garbage that was in 3.

Considering it's be canonically confirmed that an android's skin is soft and warm, and that they're capable of imitating every human bodily function beyond aging and having an actual child, I think it's a safe bet to say that it's exactly like a human's.

He is not. Love story in Automata is unique, told from different perspectives and also required to read side material to fully understand it.

>>378483267
You can even skip side materials and everything will still be understandable.
With them entire development between 2B and 9S goes balls deep into "true love" territory though.

>>378483340
When approx 95% of the YoRHa Androids are Female, this is the norm.

>>378483457
>95% of the YoRHa Androids are Female
Do they ever explain why?

>>378483156
The little details are whatever, the game wants you to buy into this deep love 9S and 2B have but completely dances around the neccesary steps to make you actually believe it.

Its Madoka tier. And saying you need to read the side materials to get it is laughable and only proves how poorly told the whole thing is.

And btw im not even a shipfag, and still see the well done relationship between 9S and 2B.

A2 is best girl anyway.

>>378483283
Japanese 6O is cute, english is not.

>>378479232
My friend who doesn't like fast-paced action games at all loved it. His reaction after the game was about WHOAH HOLY SHIT and then he said "no it's not 10/10, but it's a 5/5" when I asked about it.
He also said it's not a game that he would recommend to anyone who wants to see a great story/movie, but he would absolutely recommend it to anyone who just wants to play a great game, because of the way it uses the video gaming medium so cleverly and uniquely.

He speaks the truth, my man.

>M002, a male only unit, starts a coup, survivors escape and fuse with machines, bring giant underwater machine city of Atlantis to the surface and nearly cause a fucking Armageddon

Males are too wild, strong and uncontrollable.

You don't need to be a shipfag to appreciate absolutely canon relationships.
I mean, fuck, Song of the Broken World lyrics alone give you enough perspective about 2B's feelings for him as she begs for a life together with him.

>>378479331
Keep playing anon. Time is irrelevant, You flow along the path at all intervals.

>>378483894
The subties arent anything substantial, thats what I'm saying.

"Oh they have feelings" isnt going to sell a romance to anyone who isnt a fucking 15 year old. The entire thing just seems like pandering to otaku who want a perfect sexy waifu who never does wrong.

Makes sense, YoRHa models were designed to be EXPENDABLE TRASH CREATED FROM THE ENEMY anyway.

>>378482525
Number is personality template.
Letter is representative of intended function.
Number first is production model. Letter first is prototype.

2B/E is type 2 personality, Battler/Executioner function, production model. Battler is a combination of the old Attacker and Gunner functions.

A2 is Attacker function, type 2 personality, prototype model. In a way she is 2B's own prototype like an older sister unit.
