What is the best route?? Just finished 2B's,nso awesome
>>
A and B are literally trash compared to C.
>>
>>383169515
C, anyone telling you otherwise is braindead
>>
I just finished the game for the first time and now I'm starting B route.

Will I play with 2B again in C and whatever comes after? If yes then I'm thinking I'll try to rush B route to the end asap and then start taking my time again in C because I really don't enjoy playing 9S.
>>
>>383170691
Yeah you get to play as her again. Don't skip out on the sidequests though, I recommend you do Amnesia, the ones found in Pascal's village like the Shut in and Idiot Savant, and Emil's questline if you haven't done it yet.
>>
>>383170858
Do they change at all with 9S or are there any sidequests that are 9S only? If the answer is no to both questions I really don't see why I should do them now instead of later/already done it before.
>>
>>383169515
The one with the intro
>>
>>383171057
The ones I listed are 9S only. After you beat Route B you won't be able to do the sidequests you missed until after you beat Route C where you unlock chapter select.
>>
>>383169710
A and B are literally a prologue.
>>
>>383172931
Will route C not have sidequests like the wandering couple around or something? I want to do all the quests in the game but quests that can be done with both I really, really don't wanna do as 9S. Fuck this kid.

>Do they change at all with 9S
New story details and twists when they get separated near the end, some banter with 9S' operator, and some more details about the machines, like a beautiful short story about the opera singer, or like a couple of useless scenes about the previous Forest King. So, not very much. Route C is the second part of the game and the continuation of routeA/B. When people talk about route D and E they are talking about endings.

>are there any sidequests that are 9S only?
Yes, I found them very enjoyable, but I'm among the people that liked the hacking parts.

> If the answer is no to both questions I really don't see why I should do them now instead of later/already done it before.
It depends on the quests themselves, the thing is that a lot of them end with good story bits, and some of those bits work better before ending the game, while others can safely be done whenever you want (when you end it you get a chapter selection menu). But, yeah, since most of them are pretty tedious, I wouldn’t blame you for skipping some. For example I don't agree with that anon when he says to not skip Emil's one, it's pretty tedious and its story content bits are more linked to post game contents (secret high level bosses and such), it's one of the quests you can safely postpone, imo. I agree with him about the others he listed, though, and there are others, don't skip the 2 operators' quests for example, or the wandering couple.

In route C there are few new quests (like one that ends with a pretty entertaining scene of jackass going into full bully mode), but you can't do all the ones that can be started during route A/B for story related reasons anymore.

>really don't wanna do as 9S. Fuck this kid
That's actually a problem, try to like him, he's actually the most important character of the game.
>>
>>383170691
Rushing route B is the biggest mistake you can make as it contains some of the most important side quests in the game. Calm your tits and don't rush things, waifufaggot.

BTW, I suggest people that are playing the game and liking the gameplay to buy/pirate the DLC right now. It's not a big DLC and it's overpriced, but It has a part that gives remote controlling machines during the game a purpose, some contents that should be done during level 20-50 (so during the game), and other contents that should be played after post game (so after level 50), the latter is especially important since the base game has no contents specifically made for level 50-79, and, even more importantly, spoiler tag for people who want to play completely blindly A2 has few playable contents, so you can use the dlc contents to play as her, taunting and berserking as hard as you want, and to dick around with the level 4 weapons.
Yeah, it's all shit that should have been in the base game without paying any extra cent, but that's square for you, it's a niche game that was supposed to undersell, and so on.

No he represents the player character as the newbie who wants to be as cool as solid snake and is in a solid snake simulation aka MGS. And the whole bait and switch marketing thing of course

Nier strongly needed to cut some shit. There's no reason this game should have been longer than 10 hours.
>>

I like how it clearly highlighted 9S as the real main character. He basically carries 2B through the whole thing except for when he get captured by Adam.

if you take the time to learn his combat style you dont even need hacking

his attacks are oriented towards medium range precise imputs instead of the close range spamming of 2b/a2
>>
>>383178449
I've seen quite a few people who liked B route more than A, that includes some fairly good Automata analysis like the one of superbunnyhop.

With 2B i got kinda bored of her gameplay in first few hours. 9S has so many gimmicks and cool things going on for it i was discovering new stuff even on route C, like the fact enemies subjugated by him can be detonated by self-destruct instead of him. Coupled with his role in story, it really felt the way Taro actually intended this game to be played instead of half-assed character action gameplay of girls.

Though i generally prefer mage characters in games.
>>
Finished it today, actually (E ending). Really liked it. Understood most of the story.
As a PCfag, I never played previous games, though, and am still missing some archives (namely, 4-8 Project Gestalt ones)
That's from the first Nier, right? Whats up with that? They tried to clone humans to preserve humanity? And whats up with the twins and Black Scrawl or something? Twins went berserk and unleashed a plague?

I thought it had some good moments, but I prefer 2B's combat style, and I was pretty down on how similar B was to route A, especially when I didn't think that Route C/D would be anything more than a last minute epilogue boss fight or two.

It can't, though, maybe at the begging of route C, but after the first parts he already reached a level of madness that is hardly relatable, then he basically becomes a walking broke hate machine. I liked that a lot, though, the scene with 2B's arm and the whole final part were pure madness.

They failed to physically stop the people driving the conflict that eventually led to humanity's extinction.

But it wasn't really because they went insane or rogue so much as it was them dealing with a lot of unexpected issues regarding the man-made replicants.

Actually, the entire game happens 10k years after WW2, YoRHa androids are using Ho-229 flight units and Nazi-like uniform, Resistance members are armed with StG-44, while machines are represented by a collective consciousness, Marx/Engels machines made from work equipment and their most common colour is red so i can totally see where the marxism allusion comes from.

>>383180380
There's pretty much no difference between dual wield and one weapon styles aside from the lack of transition attacks, he has heavy combo too, after all.

I'd say that both gameplay styles have their quirks but i feel like 9S is way better adapted to any combat situation while 2B/A2 have some pretty annoying time with shit like drill worms. 9S can simply posses an enemy and traverse the areas peacefully too, which saves time if you don't want to fight the same encounters repeatedly.

Those are the balls that I disliked, they would have been fine as bosses of one of the secondary towers, not as the final conventional boss of the game. A more complex boss that used the 9S/A2 switch mechanic better was absolutely needed.

Nah. Taro has been pushing the "sphere is the ultimate form of machine lifeforms" gimmick since side materials for first Nier and final line of network's defence being two highly advanced ball bosses was extremely appropriate. The way characters push them higher and higher was cool as fuck, as well as their combination into a single being.

Besides, 9S actually gets a battle where he can do an ultimate hack.

The way both of them are ready to die for each other and struggle for a vague hope to be together is some of the best love story material i can remember in games. They also accept each other as they are, 9S knows that she's made specifically to backstab him, 2B knows that he has a few screws loose and can be violent and dangerous, doesn't matter, they still want a future together.

On top of that, their love story is not just some obnoxious jrpg romance, it's hidden under multiple layers of story, with a lot of stuff being implied or hidden in small details, which makes it even better if you decide to make a second full playthrough. I usually hate love stories and how they are presented in games but this one has really touched me.

It's the final part of the flowers for the dead androids quest (route C), but you have to complete Emil's quest (during route A/B) to have access to that area.

If you avoid all the side quests you can beat the game in like 10 hours. Just don't do side quests, don't take in the world, don't learn anything about the world and then bitch and whine because you don't understand at the end of it like a fucking retard.

I don't think they're going to continue it even if Ending E is canon. What else can they do?

the machines went berserk because they weren't actually disconnected from the network.

>>383190793
Yeah, i've played in both SH (there's no such thing as FtNW) but honestly i found sequel to be absolutely unnecessary as it basically retconned itself, their story was complete in one game.

The only other love story from a game released in last 5 years that i felt at least some emotional response from is Ringabel/Edea from BD, or more specifically that amazing side quest at the end of Bravely Second, but of course it's incomparable to Automata and really needs a closure in next game, if it will ever happen.
>>
>>383189672
NANI?!
>>
>>383191548
The former is because they were infected with a logic virus. Remember, it was by N2's design that they were allowed to leave and form their society, he probably had someway to force them back into the network even when they disconnected. The latter is because they all thought they would die/go crazy so they took their own life instead, remember they share Pascal's philosophy.
>>
>>383191691
>how pascal's eye colour showed they were never disconnected

The explanation was in the concept art his lenses are blue, in the game they glow green. Yellow eyes (network) + blue lens = green glow

That depends if Square Enix lets him. Remember they intentionally sabotaged this game by putting it right at the end of their fiscal year so they could go "LOOK THIS GAME SOLD LIKE 20,000 UNITS IN A WHOLE YEAR, IT'S SHIT, SORRY WE HIRED YOU, SAYONARA".

While NieR: Automata was great I still think that NieR had harder and more stunning plot twists. Especially that whole change in perspective on the second playthrough that utterly destroys EVERY idea and assumption you had about the game. It feels like Automata went too quickly from machines are our enemies and should be cut down whenever possible to "some machines are actually kind of cool". Like the characters constantly bark about killing all the machines but from pretty much the second area in you have no reason to really hate the machines and feel bad for them when something bad happens to them. Like the first machines you fight are bad, that's true. Then you go directly from a whole factory of evil robots trying to murder you to a city almost completely filled with ambivalent, neutral robots who just stare at the sun all day and then to a theme park full of robots that have made it their duty to constantly act out the same theme park celebrations every day despite having no visitors. It'd have been nice to see maybe some more travesties unleashed by the machines so that when you encounter Pascal and friends you don't immediately trust them.

machines are only close i the scene that they are trying their hardest to emulate "human" behavior. the game stated that unlike humans they will continue emulation certain behaviors even if it failed multiple times. ex make a dictatorship, it fails, do it again, and again, and again.

>>383193732
Automata is written in such a way that instead of single big twist just dropping at you in a middle of playthrough it plays more subtle and adds a shitload of interesting or straight unnerving details about everything, changing your view multiple times throughout the game.

"Machines are not that bad" is not even a twist. A real twist is that all of them are a spawn of a shadow of humanity that became a core of their hivemind which is capable of extreme sadism just because it only develops true empathy in ending D.

And 2E twist is a fucking brick that suddenly falls on your head and forces to re-think virtually all interactions 2B and 9S had over the course of a game.

Yeah but like in NieR shades are just presented as generic enemies but they also do horrible shit. They kill some dude's dog at one point. They're like some mysterious demonic incursion. The first thing you see of shades is them relentlessly attacking Nier and Yonah in the past as he fends them off with a fucking pipe and magic book. The boss you fight in the Aerie crushed Kainé's grandma like a fucking twig and left her for dead. And it tries to use her own grandma's voice to convince her to kill herself. Essentially they are put out as reprehensible and irredemable and you feel GOOD that you're ridding the world of them.

Then when you find out that they're actually the ghosts of humanity who were part of a failed experiment to avoid a cross-dimensional disease and playthrough B reveals that almost every shade you kill was doing nothing but what you were doing, defending your loved ones and trying to remove a threat to their lives it hits really fucking hard. Grettel was only defending the small shades that befriended him after his friend was murdered by YOU. Roc wanted peace with the People of The Mask but they drove him to murder by killing the wolves and slaughter their pups and he dies asking what THEY did wrong to deserve extinction. Wendy was formed of thousands of shades who had successfully blended in with and lived with replicants, desperately trying to stop your onslaught and save their town and your autistic skeleton friend fucking NUKES THE WHOLE AREA. Beepy was only fighting to defend Kalil and you're only trying to kill them because "MUH SHADES ARE EVIL" and some autismo at the weapon shop thought Beepy killed his brother when actually it was screaming and running around like a retard in an unsound structure and totally self-inflicted. Beepy's last act in your fight with him is to desperately try and bore through the ceiling and run while you bayed for blood.


I dunno, they all just hit harder.

In what world is a prologue chapter not part of the real game? You're playing the real game as soon as you turn it on. Though calling Route A/B a prologue is disingenuous, it's the first half of the story. The factory is the prologue.

Only part of the game that feels frustrating due to repetition is the flooded city in route B. Everywhere else you get a smattering of new sidequests, you're playing as a new character, a few new story bits or an entirely different perspective, and you can move at your own pace. Grun sucks. It's long. Both characters play the same in flight units. There's barely anything new. The pace is automated. Awful.

Part of me feels like that's why The Forest King reveal was semi-played up for laughs with all his followers being total idiots. Because we were expecting those kind of reveals from the start.

Like they knew that the reveal behind the bosses's true intentions in Automata wouldn't have the same surprise or impact that they had after already playing through a similar scenario in Nier 1, so they saved the real emotional twists regarding the end of Yorha and 9S's deteriorating sanity for Route C.

Call me naive, but if they can glue together 2B and 9S's dismembered, impaled, infected, and torn up remains, and somehow still have all of their memories intact, then I can choose to believe they can find some duct tape for the twins.

>>383197282
Ending E was already a happy ending that made it obvious they were going to wake up. The only reason we even need further confirmation that they wake up and live happily in side material is because OTHER side material for some reason decided to call the resolution of Ending E into question to generate some drama.

I do appreciate seeing stupid fuckers show up in every thread smugly telling other people that the end wasn't happy because they got duped by a concert script, though. That might be worth it.

yeah but remember there were a lot of similar android remains of their type remaining. the twins were literally the last of their kind as their model were all killed off after the pair from nier 1 fucked up.

It seems like the machines weren't built with a network, or at least the network didn't originally have a consciousness. The machine network evolved into N2, and N2 fucked off into space, but in the timeline it says the machines left on earth eventually reform their network. Which sounds bad, but it doesn't mean they've made another N2, though it might end up that way again in the future.

The problem is a loss of personal data most likely. It's easy to fix a body but if memory is damaged you may as well be dead forever. 2B and 9S are lucky because best dad saved all their data.

>>383200171
The architecture didn't survive 10,000 years, it was already torn down by the first Nier. Once androids started reclaiming the world after replicants went extinct, they began rebuilding in preparation for when the humans would return. It looks so fucked up because it keeps getting destroyed in battles against machines.

Combat units are fighting and moving, the AR display attached to their face is useful for keeping that shit in their field of view while they carry out operations. Operators sit on their ass in the bunker, a screen is fine for them.

I have yet to START this game because of bullshit bugs on PC.

I just loaded into the (windowed) main menu, went to settings, changed it to fullscreen, changed the resolution to 1920x1080 and the whole thing froze. Went back in again and tried to change the AA to 8x, it froze again.
