>>388581537
People may accuse Automata of being overrated, but nothing is more overrated than 2B's design. I like her design, but you'd think everyone fawning over her ass have never seen a big ass in their lives. It's not that special.

>>388582475
Automata would be better recieved if it wasnt for 2B' butt. It draws too much attention and result in a lot of "lol, you just played it for the ass"

Persona 5

I just realized Tekken 7 actually came out a couple months ago and I don't even play it anymore. I guess it technically is my favorite game this year because it's the only new game I got
At least, until I get GR2. Since I've finally 100% the first one

I can't remember what I played this year.

>>388582475
The majority of people in NA threads here likely haven't seen a decent butt in-person.

>>388582657
Automata would have been better if 9S's story was intertwined with A2's playthough.

>>388582475

The design is objectively great and very distinctive.

>>388582657

I'll have to agree with that. Ass was a great marketing tool but it became a meme and it deminished the game's value.

>check out this game, it has a great story and gameplay
>2B's ass visible half the time

>>388583185
>great gameplay
Shallow combat that is horribly balanced, Korean MMO tier fetch quests, empty world littered with invisible walls and the ability to consume items from a menu is not what's called 'great gameplay' anon.

It was okay, but I enjoyed Yakuza Zero much more.

>>388583153
Wasn't it like that in the game?

I remember being able to choose who i wanted to play next during route c

>>388583185
It is a great design, but it's not God's gift to man just because she has a nice ass. I will say that you could accuse all of the combat models in YoRHa of looking a bit too nice considering their job, but I do understand why they look that way and don't have a problem with it, though I wouldn't blame someone if they did.

Should I buy Nier now off of Steam or wait till it goes on sale?

Surprisingly I could find little info on this subject. All machines units in the game have that round modular head you see on everything in the game. Why does Pascal look and function very differently?

>>388583321
I had fun with it.

I think it was great for a ARPG and varied if you were willing to experiment with different weapons and pod programs.

>horribly balanced

I agree with you on that. It was really easy to become overleveled during your 1st playthrough

>>388583589
wait. its honestly so bad.
>>388583321
this guy is 100% right

>>388583709
Pascal's an older model. I think they changed their design to mimic Emil after fighting him because they thought he was some war god or something, hence the round heads, but I've never seen a source for that. He behaves differently because he's one of the machines that was made to think differently, like the forest king.

>>388583589
If you're interested then buy it, if you're not, don't.

This was not only the best game of the year, for me it was probably the best one in years actually.

The plot was better than any movie or fiction I have ever known about, literally the embodiment of testosterone and hype.

It is OK to start with Zero, don't listen to nostalgia fags.

I started with 0 and after that played though 1, 2, 3, 4 and recently finished 5. The only problem is that 0 is the best one out there, but if you end up falling in love with the series as I did while playing 0, you will want to know everything and not care about playing the older ones.

Well, you won't even need to though since Kiwami is already out and Kiwami 2 will be delicious and fucking beautiful in the dragon engine.

Yakuza 3 was great, 4 and 5 was a bit less fun for me because they added too many characters, though the problem might be that I am a total fag for Kiryu.

Nobody goes in expecting N:A to be a rite of passage for hardcore games or anything. It's not meant to be challenging, but it can be if you don't intentionally cheese your way through it.

I think it'll be okay. The new engine was okay in 6 when they patched it. Wasn't anywhere near as bad as it was in the demo.

I forgot about RE:7, that really should be contender.
Horizon was fun but it fell too hard into the open world memes. It would have been great if it was still fun to play after beating it.

You mean the game that's first person, doesn't use tank controls, doesn't have pre rendered backgrounds, turns into an action game at the end, is suffocatingly linear, only has one play through, doesn't have any fun modes like One Dangerous Zombie, has underwhelming puzzles, that Resident Evil?

>>388583371
You could choose who to play as, but A2 was just fucking around killing time until the story demanded she go up in the tower so that she could fight 9S for the climactic final battle. Their stories were barely intertwined, A2 could've spent all that time hanging with the drug addicts and it would've been the same.

Didn't really do much for me. Still think the first game is better. Pic related was cool, but I still have to go with Yakuza Zero. That cabaret minigame was the fucking best.

>>388586423
>Nobody goes in expecting N:A to be a rite of passage for hardcore games or anything

Yeah, but they made the combat completely pointless by letting you spam healing items.

I completely ignored healing items during fights in my 2nd playthrough and the game felt much more fun.

>>388587174
I'm in a rut with this game. I'm in the third chapter. I like the story, the fighting, the cities.. but it just feels really easy and linear. Is it not for me? Or does it get better?

Yeah, I'm on the fence. I actually really like the distinctive style of their overall designs, but it's kind of bittersweet that Taro's game finally got some attention just for a lot of people to make 2B's arse the focal point of it.

>>388587927
You need to explore the city to find the sidequests and minigames, also as you progress the game you open up more things to do

>>388586423
He's not wrong about the balance. You can break the game with any number of chips and even just leveling up normally will make you way stronger than you need to be.

Literally the only game I've ever disliked enough to refund

I've really only played 3 games from 2017 so far:
>Hollow Knight
Loved it, best metroidvania of the past decade. Maybe my favorite ever. Unironic 9.5 / 10, maybe a 10 even.
>BotW
Didn't grab me, I think I was burned out on open world when I played it. From the 10 or so hours I played before dropping it, seemed like one of the best open world games but not really my cup of tea. I never had any attachment to zelda, so I don't care about the departure. I'll come back to it sometime, maybe next year.
>PUBG
It's fun, not much else to say. Objectively like a 7, lots that could be improved on.

Only other games from this year I'm interested in are Persona 5, which I think I'll love, and Nioh, which I expect to like.
