Fishing - sometimes Pod doesn't get tugged down into the water, but I still get a catch. Why is that? Is there something I'm not noticing? Also I caught a basking shark machine and freaked myself out when I saw it emerge from the water.

Also, I can't self-destruct to ditch 2B's skirt for some reason; the game says "the command was not executed properly."

Lastly, I'm playing on Steam, but the graphics just don't seem to compare to consoles for some reason. I've got a pretty good setup too; anyone else having this issue?

Remember:
Resistance still lives not only in Nierland but the rwst of the world as well. The Carrier is from overseas.
Friendly machines still exist but in smaller numbers.
DevPop still exist elsewhere because they were mindwiped to believe otherwise.
YoRHa is dead, but there might be enough room that druggies and 4S find a way to cheat the Pods sensing operational black boxes.

The game LITERALLY TELLS US IT WAS ANDROIDS THAT MADE YoRHa so there's no reason to think Machines did it. They allowed Resistance to exist so that they can evolve and follow their programming to "Defeat the Enemy". N2 even states wanted to be human just like machines wanted to be human, resulting in the holy trinity of fuccbois..

I'm one of those people who thought Nier's gameplay was fine all things considered, but the fact that Automata is such a joy to play most of the time is such a huge point in it's favor that I can't fault people for that.

Nier probably had the better journey with more memorable moments, but Automata's themes were a lot more concise and better presented, which makes up for a lot of the stuff it didn't have compared to Nier.

I feel really bad for all yorha units that weren't in the know about humanity's extinction.
They were programmed to love and protect humans, and probably over time they wanted to do more with them, like be part of their families, raise their children, go to the movies with them, maybe even... hold hands with them
For them to learn that they will never get to do that must feel like a kid learning all at once that the Tooth Fairy is a lie, Santa Claus is a corporate marketing ploy, the Easter is not about magic bunnies laying eggs and that they are adopted, but magnify that feeling by the weight of the world

>the original Nier was better

I mostly disagree with you except for the characters, as the Nier 1 characters easily trump the androids. The cast of Nier 1 were a lovable band of misfits and their snappy banter made them instantly likable. By comparison, the characters in Automata mostly exist as tools to further the narrative and to approach philosophical concepts - at least for the first half of the game.

However, I feel Automata's overall storyline outshines Nier 1 through presentation and pacing. Nier felt a little cobbled-together with Taro desperately trying to make the bullshit work as one cohesive experience. Of course, Nier WAS cobbled together, cannibalising on another project involving fairytales. The Nier bosses still reference this (Sleeping Beauty, Hook/Wendy, Mother Goose, Hansel and Gretel). Also, Emil goes from being a real human boy to a puppet-like creature, like a reverse Pinoccio.

Not to say I didn't enjoy Nier, but I feel Automata is largely the betted game.

The characters are a HUGE deal to me. When Emil sacrificed himself and I didn't think he would be back, I was in tears. Hell, even now I can't watch his sacrifice without feeling incredibly sad. Barely any moments in Automata come close, and those that do are often related to Emil anyway.

I didn't feel like Automata had the big payoff with its plot that Nier did either. On playthrough A of Nier, the final battle with the Shadowlord felt like a real, FINAL battle. The music was outfuckingstanding, and it seemed like your whole adventure had been leading to this point. In automata, the game just kinda of stops after an ok battle between A2/9S.

The music in Automata was great, but I felt like the original Nier had better individual tracks. Automata certainly has better variety though. Less repetitiveness. I totally understand how that's almost entirely an opinion thing though.

I loved Automata, but it didn't catch me off guard very much, unlike Nier. But perhaps the problem is just that, because I'm expecting the misery, it doesn't hit me as hard when it comes.

No ending within any of the games actually lead to any other game other than DoD1's ending E. DoD3 only connects to DoD1.3, in which pacts don't exist.

All games need supplementary material and an Ending E to provide a connection between them.
>>
>>171695945
I think it's better to just do everything at the first run and plat the game with ending E. It's more cathartic.

Xbox 360. Xbox one and xbox 360 controllers are the best controllers for pc compatibility wise, but the xbone controller is twice as expensive and like 10% better. That's my opinion; many people prefer the 360 controller.

Xbox 360 controller is good, will work with any game that has controller support, and nowadays you should be able to get one for very cheap

If youve got the cash to burn no reason to not get a xbone controller, but if you dont already have a controller you probably dont play many games that need one in which case it's really not worth the extra money. I only have an xbone controller because when my 360 controller broke i wanted to replace it same day and the local best buy only had xbone.

Now get the fuck off this general before you get the whole game spoiled! Enjoy

I agree for the most part, but Automata's themes were really well presented in a way that sort of makes the story and characters feel like more than the sum of it's parts. It gets better the more you think about it and realize just how many different parts of the story lead into each other thematically, and while the characters have less individually memorable moments, the depth that they do have is a lot more poignant when you fully consider the rest of the game.

Nier on the other hand was just a huge mishmash of different things with no really consistent theme or anything. That was a huge part of the appeal, don't get me wrong, Nier had the best band of misfits I've ever seen, and going on crazy adventures with them was incredibly fun and the individual characters were great, but I can definitely see why Automata would make the stronger impression on people.

Ultimately they both tell really different kinds of stories, so it's hard to really compare them.

>>171697549
It's implied that robots without a purpose will eventually become apathetic and just stand around, one of the first things 9S does when you leave the bunker for the first time is comment on how there are more and more machines who just stand around rusting up until they die.

Thus, one can assume that when they say that the androids began to "lose morale" after they learned that mankind was extinct and their purpose was gone, they began to become apathetic and just stand around without any drive, necessitating the ruse to keep them from just wasting away.

This is also probably why they made such a big deal out of machines finding their "treasures", the one thing that seemed to catch their interest and give them purpose beyond their programmed goal. It's why 9S wasn't all that broken learning that humanity was extinct, because he still had 2B, who was his "treasure", and he didn't start to lose it until she died, just like Eve.

As for the actual how, I have no fucking clue.

I think she actually killed him only a few times and even when she did she tried to assassinate him before he could notice anything.

If there's anything we know about 9S, it's that he's brave as fuck but also absolutely reckless so he probably protected his own assassin from death multiple times before at expense of himself. Her words about "it always ends like this" are probably more about that.

This better be bait. The PC version stock ultra is better than Pro if you compare 1:1 because it's less blurry with more AF and you have proper AA, then you disable motion blur and you're miles ahead of the Pro. Then use Reshade and 1440p and you're pure gold.

Serious question, should I restart B route? My last save is A route just before Flooded City.

I rushed B route and didn't do any side quests

I'm literally just at the part after the desert goliath in C route.

I should have taken more time but I thought I'd be able to do those side quests as 2B later and apparently some side quests are 9S specific.

I don't really want to return there after unlocking chapter select or whatever, fucks with the narrative.

It's interesting to note that 9S recklessly throws himself under the fire just to save 2B every time so assassinations probably weren't even necessary most of the time, he just offed himself by shielding 2B.

Until Taro says otherwise, no.

The interpretations that I like are that the Watchers are creeping in, planting their memes and tugging at strings without explicitly revealing themselves- as I don't believe they were ever explicitly referenced in the Nier world as "watchers" or a "cult" thereof,
Or it's just inevitable cosmic parallels that Taro thinks are cool. pathological subjugation, twins, flowers, etc.

Fuck I might just reload before Flooded City. All I really have to do is the fight for the third time and Abandoned Factory, then I'm into B route and new side quests. I've only done like 1 hour of C route.

No, shades/gestalts already exist. When their replicant gains consciousness they relapse. Sometimes. Eventually. And when they relapse, the replicants die of the black scrawl.

See, I don't really like 9S so I rushed his route and skipped all his side quests. I still don't like 9S. Going forward with the plot might hurt my enjoyment of the game as a whole.

I need to slow down, play B route and appreciate his playstyle and personality otherwise I won't get the most out of C,D and E.

For fuck's sake, people say his combat style is superior to 2B's but I hated it because I never switched from his starting sword.

Muh nig.

I don't know. Nothing comes to mind. I wish there was more. Subtle, nuanced, and gradual use of noise and discord to reinforce that you shouldn't feel comfortable with the events of the game and the actions of the characters.

And it all culminates into a full-blown John Cage style track for the ending E credits, with a whole slew of potential subtext.

Shade is just what Replicants call Gestalts. When the Replicants became accidentally sentient they forgot all about Project Gestalt, so when the Gestalts turned up wondering what the fuck was taking them so long to clean up the magic bullshit the Replicants mistook them for monsters and started killing them.
Project Gestalt as a whole was a hilarious trainwreck that failed at every single stage.

>With his glasses on
That's the key detail, friend. Basic shirtless Adam doesn't have glasses. I don't personally find long bishonen hair to be fashionable on it's own.
The glasses add so much more to the face. His design feels more intentional and complete with the glasses to compliment the hair, like the horizontal lines of the glasses to balance the vertical lines of his hair, or something.

Better still with the collar of the shirt, but I'll let it slide.

Jesus fuck what the shit. If I didn't buy 5 of each of those cures just in case beforehand, what the fuck would I have done?

I was running in circles getting smacked and my visual processors weren't even working so everything was green blocks.

Even with downing a bunch of those cures it was still challenging, and this is on normal.

Don't even get me started on the fucking goliath A2 fights in the desert. I used like 30 recoveries there.

I read that the central theme of this game is futility and I'm beginning to see it.

>Humans dead, aliens dead
>their creations continue to fight a pointless war on their behalf not knowing they are already long deceased
>no matter who wins, everyone loses

The first time Eve said that everything was pointless and that he knew I agreed with him, I didn't buy it, but now I kinda do.

Nothing in the game means anything, it's all pointless. The machines will perpetuate themselves as long as they are capable and will imitate human behavior to no effect, and with YoRHa now gone the Androids are essentially extinct.

This game

>>171710961
Verifying this. That storybook page has details almost completely verbatim out of the Fire of Prometheus short story.

The "volcano" is more figurative though. Don't let it confuse you. Both the storybook and the short story are just describing him emerging from underground with the imagery of a volcano.

But that's wrong. Project YoRHa was a success, they collected all the combat data they needed, got rid of the old generation of Androids like they planned and will start production of a new line of models. And don't forget the remaining Resistance androids on earth.

i seriously wish some art/philo ppl take a look at what automata is; it basically summarizes all of western philosophy up to postmodernism in the context of a crazy video game i've been reconsidering stuff i've read from beauvoir, sartre, nietzsche, hegel etc. there's SO MUCH. i've never looked at transhumanism, existentialism, suicide, theology, feminism, gender, art, and so many others the same way after it. it's such a liberating game: people have especially been praising the representation of sexuality in the game with the operator characters. i think everyone can play this game and see something that reflects them, touches them, makes them feel more involved than many works of art

it might sound ridiculous reading these tweets and you might go "so you're going to say that NieR: Automata is the most important artwork "that represents us in today's postmodernist times and go beyond even the concet of literature". yep, that's what i'm saying.

NieR: Automata is the despair of everything -- the totality of everything wrong with society -- that inspires people to hope in the end. there may be trouble in understanding gender, sexuality, politics, technology etc. but we can shoulder the weight of the world together. it's a plea to strive together in the midst of this despair so nobody will have regrets; i cannot stress how important it is as a reflection. it may be the most antihumanist story to reveal how much contradictions we have as human beings and yet it reminds us we're humans we're bags of shit and the game examines that; that's why we need each other after this realization to find a better future. even if the eternal recurrence is real & we are trapped in the same narrative/social construction of reality to the point it's meaningless, striving for a better future because of our completionist attitudes is the only thing we can do and we'll have no regrets from this.

We don't exactly know. We know that the human server on the moon is fluke to keep up morale on the ground, so it's likely that regaining control of Earth is one of their goals. Could be that they still believe in a way to bring back humanity that way, but the game doesn't really hint at any concrete reason.

Alright, so YoRHa andoirds are created by re-purposing machine cores. I'm assuming this is so they don't have to go through the trouble of creating a true AI?
So does that make YoRHa sentient? Or just really smart machines? They seem to grasp free-will and scenarios well enough, so how do you think they differ from older androids who have true AI?

My guess is that the true androids were created by humans themselves, and machine-core androids are kind of like the third iteration, the created of the created. If that makes sense.
