You guys told writing isn't hard.
Well it is for me.
I got barely any sleep last night because I was trying to think of a way to unfuck a contradiction I had made.
I couldn't focus at work today because I was trying to think of a way to close the gap between the intro and the shit going down.
I've been stuck on that gap for the past four days.

I'm not saying the writing itself is hard but it's making my life hard.
>>
>>174312052
I did it once and it took like two hours. There are some crazies on YouTube who did the same and it also took them ages, feel free to look.

You're 100% meant to get help, but it is possible without it. You lose out on the awesome choir and the people from all over the world cheering you on, though. So, even though it's an achievement in and of itself, I'd say getting help is the better way to go just for the experience.

I've played Drakengard 1 for the first time just around two weeks ago. Went and did all endings. It's fun to see its crazy story, but the game is absolute dogshit and tedious garbage. Not recommended. Yes, you can skip DoD2.

It's not really that substantial. It's jut a bit from the Drama CD where the aliens first show up and Emil starts cloning himself. Besides being a bit longer and told from Emil's perspective, there's not much more to it that the ingame recap of those events already told you.

So the DLC title is 3C3C1D119440927

09/27/11944 is a date that shows up twice in the Amarazashi - Deserving of Life music video.

It's shown once as the ''Last-backup'' date and the second time it's shown as the date on a videoclip from the game.

Anyone got any ideas what the relevancy might be ?

Generally speaking, most dates in N:A correspond roughly with some major event 10,000 years before. Wikipedia gives the closest match as a the start of a large USAAF bombing raid on the city of Kassel, but if you expand the scope out, September 27 1944 is only a couple days after Operation Market Garden.

Whether that's in any significant is up for debate in a major way. Pearl Harbor in WWII and the Pearl Harbor descent in the stage play are 10,000 years apart, but that's the only 1:1 correspondence, and the rest are much less concrete.

>>
>>174320459
Don't forget 2B's boots there. I didn't notice them until I was zooming about the room.
>>
So I just finished 100% the game and deleted my save so I want to make sure I'm understanding things right, sorry if this is a common thing here.
Main story:

>Mankind is completely dead and androids lose serious morale.

>A certain group of unnamed Androids get the idea to create a lie that humanity is still around and have made a special android force to protect them

>They call this group YoRHa

>Short of the Commander all YoRHa androids are android bodies with minds made from machine parts (their black box) because they found it immoral to create androids that were just to die for a lie

>They keep the truth of the project from the majority/all but the commander

>They built a backdoor program that's whole function was to ensure that if they near victory over the machines it would destroy the bunker and blame the machines for it, this is to ensure that the truth of the moon is never found out

>This backdoor program was hid from everyone including the commander

>Machine Terminal was watching and learning all of this

>Machine Terminal was keeping a close eye on 9S after the ending events of path A/B

>In path C when 9S used the backdoor to get him and B2 back to the bunker he ignorantly gave the Machine Terminal/girls in red full reign of the bunker to infect them with the virus and to detonate the bunker

9S and 2B:

>9S was so advance he kept discovering the truth about mankind and became a risk for the whole project
>some information and operate 21O words to 9S seems to imply the quest YoRHa Betrayers happen because a previous run time 9S told them the truth
>they couldn't get rid of him because he actually was very useful at data gathering and infiltration
>B/E2 is assigned as a constant watch dog to kill 9S when given the order or if it's confirmed 9S knows the truth
>B2 killed him enough that it was starting to effect her in a bad way
>somewhere along the way 9S knew the truth about 2B but never acted on it

Don't worry, I won't. I took a bunch of screenshots with the freecam mod for reference. Plus, I love her boots.

>>174317401
9S has Pod 153, 21O and 2B caring about him but both 21O and 2B are forced to stay away from him because of his horrible fate despite loving him dearly and 153 seems to be forced to spy on him and lie to him and give the info to commander.

His and 2B's fate is just shitty despite how much they complement each other and enjoy being with each other.
>>
Playing 9s's ending, then waiting til the next day for a2 and ending e was a mistake. It felt super anticlimactic. That and the fact that the truth about the robot/android war is only ever explained in a missable text file.
I also didn't enjoy how unfocused the game was and how out of the protag's only 9s seemed to have motivation behind his actions. I guess they're androids and are just following directives but that makes it harder to get into their characters. And not following 1 main character arc like in nier 1 felt worse. Overall I think I liked nier 1 more.

Idk just venting, I really loved the game up until the very ending. Maybe I just need to take a step back and think about it more. Maybe I'll come to appreciate it more as a whole in retrospect.
>>
>>174320669
Finally Machine Terminal/girls in red:

>Terminal that Aliens built to network the machines

>Went full HAL and killed their creators

>study human data on the moon servers

>emulated it

>made machines think they were off the network when reality was they never left the network they were just on a different channel

>they did this for evolutionary reasons to try and transcend what they were

>for the most part they were in complete control of the events of Neir: Automata and how they transpired

>they spared the moon because of what unfolded in the 14th machine war including the "off network" machines creating Adam and the saturation trick that Pod 042 suggested causing them to reach a higher level of thinking than before.

again sorry if this has been talk to death it just got rather hair in the end and I wanted to make sure I understand what was presented in the game correctly.

>>174320943
Unless this is your first Yoko Taro game, there's no excuse for not reading the intel. Not that there ever is, really, but it's par for the course in these games.

Anyone who's curious about the story is just a few buttons away from finding out more about it, simple as that.
>>
>>174321061
Of course I read it all, the issue for me it that that is the largest plot twist imo and it would have been for more effective if conveyed in a cutscene.
>>
>>174320943
>I also didn't enjoy how unfocused the game was and how out of the protag's only 9s seemed to have motivation behind his actions

Sometimes a game is just a game. Not every little detail was planned, thought out and analyzed and it probably wasn't meant to be. There's no need to go full evageeks where every aspect of the work is scrutinized in more detail by the fans than the creator ever did.

Sometimes the answer is "because it would be interesting or cool" there's no hidden meaning.

>>174321138
I'm not really sure I consider it to be the largest of the twists. All it does is explain why the machines were more shitty than they could be, by intentional defects to prolong evolutionary pressure and how YoRHa are basically crash test dummies. But there's no narrative tension tied to that question or its answer. First and foremost, it's about the main characters' struggle in a busted world, in this case our lovely 2B, 9S and A2. Taro himself more or less said he focuses on how the characters struggle through this fucked up state of things, more so than the fucked up state of things itself:

>I’m not really interested in the bigger questions like the true nature of something or the universe or some world view. It’s more about faulty humans when they’re placed in these drastic, difficult conditions – how they would live their lives within that environment. It’s a more personal, narrower perspective where you’re seeing how someone is living out their life.
http://www.siliconera.com/2017/03/21/nier-automata-director-talks-design-philosophies-storytelling-poop-butts/

Viewed from that angle, I'd say 2B having to execute 9S is the main twist. It's the one most significant to at least two of the main characters and it's the one that shifts the context of the narrative leading up to it the most. It's just an opinion, obviously, but even if you don't like that twist, saw it coming, or whatever, I have a hard time seeing the contents of the Machine Research Report or the YoRHa Dispoal archives as the main twists. If the story was written with a focus on the characters, something it certainly succeeded in making me care about more than the machine infrastructure, it's the twists relating to those that should be awarded "main twist" status.

Not that you can't care about the background stuff a lot, plenty of people seem to do so, but the story simply isn't written around that and the craft went into what the story is actually focused on.
>>
>>174322095
for me the biggest twist was that the YoRHa Androids are basically Adam and Eve in terms of whats in them.
>>
>>174322001
Jackass belongs with White.

Thus said, godspeed in her genocide crusade against CEO of YoRHa.
>>
>>174320531
Don't act like you ever browsed 4chan before 2012
>>
>>174322605
It became pretty obvious when you see 9S smashing Eve with his own attack in route A already.
>>
>>174322713
in fairness one could assume that Eve was just Android and not machine at his core so no one should be surprised what 9S did
>>
>>174322605
The game equates androids to machines at so many points that I hardly consider that a twist. You could even remove it from the story and keep it mostly intact, thematically. It's mainly there to drive that point home very blatantly, in my opinion.
>>
where do I get maps in Nier? I'm up to the first village where you have to get info about the sealed vereses.
>>
>>174322805
>I hardly consider that a twist.
You do understand that only YoRHa models have the black box right? They are not the same as the resistance Androids. Resistance Androids are true androids while the YoRHa models are just highly programed alien type machines.
>>
>>174322936
Yes, I do understand.
>>
>>174322781
Well right after that it turned out that 9S actually was able to integrate into machine network so well he became pretty much the same as Adam and Eve in terms of network functions.
>>
>>174322976
So then the game equating androids to machines at so many points isn't reflecting that twist so much as the more basic message everyone is more similar than they care to admit.
The black box bit could be removed completely and it all still works the same.
The bigger impact of the Black Box's origin is that it means that YoRHa itself is just another part of the machine lifeforms.

regardless I'm curious what you would even count as a "twist" considering your strange standard on it.

>>
>>174322095
Just for context and the sake of discussion I consider it the contents of the Machine Research Report the "main twist" though I guess that's a bad phrase, because the humans and the aliens are dead it means the entire context of the eternal war is pointless. It begs the question why are the characters doing what they are doing? What purpose do they serve? And this may be getting a bit weird and meta, but that seems like a Yoko Taro approved thing: The characters serve the purpose of battling for our amusement. It is almost as though we the audience are the Humans/Aliens that started this eternal war.
I guess that contradicts with themes from neir 1 a bit since in neir 1 the former human race doesn't really represent the audience in any way I can recall.
I don't think Taro meant to imply this but it was something the ending had me thinking about.
>>
>>174323229
>The black box bit could be removed completely and it all still works the same.
Yes, that's what I said >>174322805

>The bigger impact of the Black Box's origin is that it means that YoRHa itself is just another part of the machine lifeforms.
They're made from the same cores, but YoRHa is still very much part of the android forces. The way you describe them makes it sound like the machines made YoRHa.

>regardless I'm curious what you would even count as a "twist" considering your strange standard on it.
I'm >>174322095 so knock yourself out. I just don't think the black boxes being made of machine cores is shocking or changes much, which you seem to agree. The more interesting part of that plot point is 9S actually digging deeper into denial and hatred in reaction to it, not its shock value, which I'd say is a requirement for a twist.
>>
>>174323303
For someone who wasn't assigned to network functions by N2 itself it was still a damn impressive and pretty much confirmed that YoRHa androids can integrate pretty deeply into machines.

Well, like I said, you're free to care about and read into whatever you like, and they're interesting questions, for sure. But when it comes to the critique of craft, namely how they revealed the true nature of the war to you which you took issue with, I do think taking that Taro quote into consideration has merit because development time and money is limited, so they put more effort into the parts of the story Taro actually cares about: the character interactions. These are the things that drew me into the story and what Taro wanted to convey the most. I'm sure in a perfect world with infinite time and money he would've given the background stuff more attention, but gotta pick your battles if you want to actually release games for profit.

And I think following 1 character with an ensemble party around her might have made me appreciate the character interactions more like in neir 1. I miss that cast man. And it's easier to appreciate someone like 9s from afar than to actually have to play as him at least for me.
Idk I get what you're saying with budgetary constraints. This doesn't need to be a huge debate either. I like this game a lot for being as idiosyncratic as it was.

I love Nier 1 as much as the next guy, but I appreciated switching main characters a lot. There may be plenty of re-used content in Route B, but the way it reframes 9S from this dorky little kid that awkwardly tries to flirt with you whilst playing as 2B to someone actually quite capable and integral to the duo's operations is something that I enjoy about Route B. As you say, whom you're playing as changes how you perceive the other characters in your posse, and in that sense moving from the cold badass 2B to 9S, the one actually subjected to her attitude and the one quietly saving the day, made me care about 9S a lot more than I expected entering the story, which in turn made the Route C/D/E events have more of an impact for me.

(Not hating on 2B, mind you. She's rad.)

9S was surprising me starting with the prologue mission already. He's like 2B's personal guardian who is always nearby to help and protect her and also take down or at least disable the big threat.

I think i became really attached to him during Grun mission because there's no chance in hell they could defeat the thing without 9S and his unorthodox tactics.

Come to think about it, 9S has some angelic imagery associated with him in general.
Machines he's subduing are getting aureole over their heads.
His hacking animation has some angelic symbols flying around the screen.
He pretty much gets crucified at some point.
He's the only android who is welcomed into machine paradise aboard the Ark and N2 watches over him for majority of the game.

Any melee attack destroys all bullets. You don't need to use the heavy attack in the flight sequences either, light attack works too and it's better. A lot of people seem to forget light melee attack while flying from what I've seen in videos. You can't even die while mashing light attack because the bullets will never reach you.

I think you got the bunker part wrong. YoRHa was developed by the machines. The machine network didn't want the war to end because they would lose all purpose, so they created the bunker and started producing androids. This happens because the aliens gave them the order "destroy the enemy", and they needed to fulfill it.
When they discovered the human data on the moon, the machines started developing human traits and began to understand concepts (they are refered to as "gifts" in the picture books). To further study this process and to understand humans, the machines kept pushing the war, produced androids, and let machines "cut off the network" just to find meaning to their existence beyond the war.
After the destruction of Adam and Eve the plan is complete, so they open the bunker's backdoor and create the tower with all the data and memories obtained stored in it.

Get the first 2 endings in Nier legit. Watch the rest on youtube, as those playthroughs dont' change, just the endings, and also because getting/upgrading all weapons in nier is A. abolute suffering and B. required to get the "true" ending. Whereas in Automata getting/upgrading all weapons is only necessary to fight a secret boss, and even then is quite easy and painless.

Dude the bunker was infected even before 9S got into it. And they already got their hands on human data before the game starts. And why are you so angry.
>>
>>174334528
He's right though. Instead of getting salty, stop and think about the things you're saying.

N2 knew about the Bunker as early as we see her ghost in 9S's cutscene. Very likely she knew about the Bunker long before then. N2 likely had a conversation with itself like the one we see near the end of the game. "Either we kill these machinedroids or let them live so we can collect evolutionary data from them." Clearly they decided to collect more evolutionary data from them instead of blasting it out of the sky.

Well, whatever the machine network's knowledge of YoRHa is, the game explicitly says YoRHa was set up by whatever "Command" runs the regular android population. It happens every few days that someone tries to suggest YoRHa is a project by the machines, which is simply not true.

So if I want to actually play the required games before playing automata, would Drakengard 2 and 3 be neccassry? It seems only Drakengard 1 has any impact on the nier universe.

In my mind Adam was the philosopher and thinker, that even sacrificed his own life to understand death and Eve was the one full of emotions and feelings, not the opposite of Adam, they complement eachother and together they represent a human's soul (or brain), which is what the machines wanted to create

Well I think it's a logical conclusion. The moon base, where human data is stored, is under watch by a few select YoRHa units, and the machines have begun studying human nature before the game starts, so they must have broken through android security.

No one mentioned. Maybe no one at all. The Project founders could very well have died, been killed by the Machines or just fucked off to do something else.

Why don't the androids regularly create backups of their memory data?
I understand why 9S couldn't but if you backed up everything daily there would be no shock in dying, you would just lose a day in your life. And for E units they could just tamper with the memory, no?

YoRHa ones are machine core-based and their backups seems to be backing off parts of their "soul" into other machine cores.

>>174336058
>you would just lose a day in your life
The game addresses this in the fucking tutorial.
>"But you'll lose the you that is you right now!"
It's meant to make you stop and think about what death is to these creatures. We're meant to understand that after a backup any amount of time that passes constitutes a different you than the you that was backed up. If you are really the sum total of your experiences, then you stop being a copy when you gain more experiences.

>And for E units they could just tamper with the memory, no?

Yes, in the prologue 9S sends 2B data to the bunker and she doesn't lose anything, to her, dying at that part was just a hiccup.
And yes, i know the sidequest. There shouldn't be any need to actually kill them tho, just delete the memory.

I thought it was another "Humans and Androids are more similar than they think" sort of dealie. Like Androids can intellectualize the structure of the human brain and understand how it can be effected by chemical secretions, but they don't understand why adrenaline would be involved in love and courtship.

Or maybe I'm wrong and Androids are wired for battle the same way humans are wired for cooperation and that for Androids love can only truly bloom on the battlefield.

Lol I actually had a lot of fun making you look like an idiot earlier, but I guess I can't take credit for fate putting the 2 most autistic JRPG fanbases up at the top like that.

I guess it goes to show you that you shouldn't act like a faggy little knowitall just in case fate comes up behind you and makes you look like even more of an asshole than you already are.

"T.... 2B, he's... That's not an Android, he's HUMAN!"

2B's grip upon her blade faltered somewhat, as she stared forwards at the white-haired being before her. He held a blade in his right hand, almost similar to her own, and seemed to be covered in some sort of archaic armour plating, burnt, warped and scarred by battle, stained in fresh black and crimson from the littered corpses around him, both machine and Resistance alike. His face was charred and scuffed, but his features were clear as day; the wide smirk on his face as his piercing, crimson gaze met 2B's own.

It was as if he'd been infected by a logic virus, but... That was impossible. He wasn't an Android, he was... Something else entirely.

"Who... What are you!", the feminine YoRHa unit barked over at him. Her voice carried authority, but yet, all it drew from the man before her was laughter, laughter that was cut short almost abruptly.

"I am Lightning, the rain transformed."

Are you trying to change the thread by calling for a purge of all fanfiction and its writers despite there being less than 10 people who participate and far less than 10% of each thread actually being fanfiction or posts related to it? The amount of times you've posted of even just said the word fanfiction is more than the amount of fanfiction ever posted in one thread. I genuinely can't comprehend what you're doing and why.

Even if that were the case, what good would that actually do? Even if all the fanart, fanfic, and feelsposting disappears, there's no reason to think that would make translations resume. And if it's done by actively shitting up the thread, it probably makes it less likely, as that runs the risk of potential translator anon seeing it full of shitposting on their first visit, sees it full of shitposting, and decides nah.

Fundamentally, if you want more translation, your options are either A: learn to translate and do it yourself or B:try to make the general not repulse a potential translator, and the antifanfic response is more likely to repulse them than the fanfic itself.

A2 went through absolutely the same shit as 9S, she lost A2 4 years ago and went nuclear. She just sees herself in him and helps him to kill 21O when 9S was too mentally broken to finish what he started.

That doesn't make sense. The game is done. They used all the money they had set aside for the game. They got a shitton of money considering Taro's track record of sales. They straight up said on the DLC stream that they didn't have the time or budget to do new extended gameplay sequences. The dev team has already moved on to other projects. Taro is doing some FF mobile game or some shit.

Explain your confusion at these easily graspable concepts.
>>
>>174352042
>money shouldn't be a damn issue
the fuck are you talking about dude? Taro and platinum said they didn't have the money for significant story DLC, as they weren't given budget for it. If they're going to make significant DLC or story DLC, basically anything outside of arenas and costumes, they'll need more money from Squeenix. It's not up to Taro and Platinum, they'd love to make actual, significant DLC. Taro said that in a perfect world he'd like to release DLC on the size and scale of the Witcher 3's expansions. But that can't happen without Squeenix dumping money on them to make it.
>>

Wouldn't be surprised if Squeenix actually did dump a bunch of money on them. That is, if they open their eyes and saw the booming success of NieR Automata in both the west and the east

Not sure if this is important in routes B/C or gets expanded on.
But in Ending A, 2B states that the difference between Androids and Machines is that Machines developed consciousness.
But Androids are conscious too, arent they?
I mean, they have quirks, hobbys, differing opinions and feelings etc.

Or does she mean that the difference is that machines literally became conscious while Androids were created with consciousness from the beginning?

That "amnesia" sidequest, or atleast that's what I think it's called. That was a fucking weird side quest. Although it was actually my favourite.

>>174354430
It's never directly stated whether or not they have genitals, but chances are they don't. Comparing textures and colors on A2 to the dead androids, it looks like A2 is most likely buck naked, implying that they don't have genitals. Also, Yoko Taro has never shied away from discussing sex in his games; chances are if the androids had sex, there would be mentions of it at some point in the game.

There are couples, and they most likely have an equivalent to sex, maybe some GiTS style brain-networking intimacy thing. Maybe they're super pure and just hold hands. But most likely they do not have traditional sexual intercourse in the way we understand it.
>>
>>174354686
You have to remember that the yorha androids were on an eternal quest to become more humanlike, and A2 was an old model, so you never know with the current gen models.

their memories didn't "blend." She just had access to 2B's memories and knew them. The sword is more of a diary than anything; it's not actually a full personality backup.

I don't see how any of that isn't adequately explained by >>174349443
>>
>>174354473
She was a psycho
>>
>>174354863
The yorha androids were on a quest to become more humanlike, but the yorha androids don't upgrade themselves. The androids in charge of yorha would be the ones in charge of updating and developing new lines and new units, and those androids have no interest in yorha becoming humanlike. They see the yorha androids as disposable, and as not truly alive. They see them the way they see the machines, this is the whole point of the intel files revealing the nature of the yorha black boxes.

Just like 2B and 9S then.
Way more broken and dead inside though.

>>
>>174355116
>Way more broken and dead inside though
I certainly wouldn't say way more. 2B arguably, but she's definitely less broken and dead inside than Route C 9S...
>>
>>174349117
I thought this major personality change, childlike-treatment, and reward was a consequence of 21O researching human families. She was experimenting with a more maternal approach.

9S just thought someone pissed in her robo-coffee.
>>
>>174355236
Yes, I would even smile and say it's alright as she kills me
>>
>>174355318
2B was able to maintain sanity, but only thanks to 9S being pretty much her guardian angel with greatly complementing personality.
But even at his worst moment 9S didn't go down to E model's level of incoherent mumbling. That girl was super broken.
>>
>>174355608
I'd argue that a bit of incoherent mumbling is not nearly as concerning as, you know, going on a murder rampage. But it's a dumb thing to fight about
>>
>>174354686
There may not be an explicit explanation for Android sex because there isn't one. Maybe it's just lots of kissing and rubbing of tactical areas.

That brain sex sounds dangerous though. Seems like it would be too easy to get lost in each other's data, but then again I don't know anything about Android AI structure.
>>
>even the side quests make me question my existence

Anyway, after destroying those two goliaths in the city as 9S, there is a hell of a lot side quests to do.

9S gets way more unique side quests than 2B and their quality is way higher.
I was honestly surprised about it.

you can enjoy the game when you revisit it. If you 100% the game you are:
unable to repeat side quests
So OP that even on the hardest settings it's a cakewalk and you still risk blowing through dialog, interesting battle changes and moments of boss fights

Also there is the fact that 100% is about 25~40 hours depending on fishing RNG so it's not like a huge 100 hour game sink you are deleting

I know I'm probably overanalyzing a short snippet of text but I like to think combat is the Android equivalent of sex. So androids fighting each other is basically rough, kinky sex.

I so badly want 2B to be my dom.

I don't think that's true. The Pods specifically hint at 2B's memories changing A2's personality and memories defining your identity is sort of a major theme of this game, so separating the two to begin with seems misguided.
>>
>>174354686
>>174354430
Romantic love doesn't necessarily include sex (´・ω・`)

>>174359386
I often watch anime and play games while drunk, it's way better than while sober 2Bh
>>
>>174359465
What I mean is they didn't literally blend to the point where A2 was like, getting confused as to whether memories were hers or 2B's, and they didn't like magically change her personality.

Her personality did change because of 2B's memories, but not because 2B's personality somehow melded with hers. When she saw and learned everything 2B's been through, she changed, and her feelings on many things changed, like 9S and the machines. But because she learned these things and saw things from a new perspective in 2B's memories, not because of some sort of mindmeld.

Will the games industry ever see a character as generally attractive as 2B ever again? How can the west even compete with that shit.

Well, but like I said, that distinction doesn't really align with the game thematically. It makes it fairly explicit that memories are what makes an identity. If there was something to 9S that transcends him beyond his memories, 2B wouldn't need to feel bad about mindwiping him through murder all the time. But that's not the case because, going by the concepts the game laid out for us, the person dies with their memories. Similarly, the person gets passed on with their memories and as A2 absorbs them, she, as you yourself point out, takes on some of 2B's qualities. I do not see the problem with calling that a "merge"; if the game equates memories and people, absorbing memories and traits of the original person can absolutely be seen as a merge, even without any confusion about who A2 was before she absorbed them.

We can go even further and extend this to the stage play, in which it is revealed that the androids are built with artificial memories in place to sort of preset their identity in something -- Blade Runner style. It's not in the game itself, so I'm always kind of uncomfortable using it as a base (yes, even though it's canon), but it's a detail that helps reinforce the notion that the android personality is built entirely on their memories, which in turn gives support to calling a merger of memories a merger of identities.

Right, I would say it's the only way. The YoRHa on Bunker aren't in combat together (outside the bedroom) so they must have another way to get that lovey reaction.

So I've just started playing on PC version and I don't have a controller (It broke some time ago and I didn't really bother to buy a new one beacuse I didn't had to) and I noticed one thing, there is no fucking evade button on PC, you have to double tap each fucking time and 90% of time it doesn't register beacuse as usual double tapping is the most retarded design choice. So I've lost a hour of progress when I died to a boss beacuse there is no way to dodge shit properly. Here is my question, is there any fucking mod or anything that would let me set up evade on a single press? I've already tried using programs to set it up so that whenever I press V it should register as double taping W with a few miliseconds delay and it works but somehow the game doesn't give a fuck and just straight up ignores it, I even tried with different delays between the presses and nothing worked.
Seriously though, what fucking retard at platinium thought that deleting a feature that is essential to the gameplay is a good idea, a fucking low budget Transformers game had way better PC controls.

>>174367432
Yes that sucks, but you get used to double tapping. The Auto-Run button is the Auto-Evade button on the PC btw, so i rebound it to space, since i was going to evade more than i was going to jump (my jump is Ctrl)

You can also use Auto-Hotkey or a similar script to auto double tap but i didn't try

>>174367432
How do people have difficulty with double tap.

It feels natural to me, that being said there should be an option to rebind it.
>>
>>174367432
Ok this is where I have to be honest.

I played NieR Automata on the keyboard and never the controller. And personally I find it easier. Evade is quite easy for me to use since I've learnt how to do it and not had a button like on the controller. So personally I prefer the keyboard since it's easier for me.

Jesus christ. Andromeda is one of the worst examples of what AAA games have become.

How the fuck did they make everything look so unnatural. It's ALMOST like games are better off using stylized art because things don't look wrong all the time...

Andromeda:
>Bad facial animations
>game becomes a meme

Nier:
>virtually no facial animations outside cutscenes
>GOTY!

It's like devs should play to their strengths or something, instead of just copping out and deciding to go for 'muh realism'. Maybe I'm just crazy though. I don't understand the oppression that realistic game devs face so I shouldn't comment on it.

No, just short on time I can spend playing a game. Maybe the term used wasn't the best, but not actually sure what the right terminology is. Text let's play seems odd, but might be as close as I can get.
Basically, dialogue copied out, screenshots, some commentary, and youtube links of cutscenes. I can burn through one of those much quicker than playing a game or watching a video of someone playing it.
>>
Does she kill him because she voluntarily accepts that as the system she can't escape from, or is it just involuntary programming? I wonder if the title of the game doesn't imply the latter, seeing as how an automaton is 'a self-operating machine designed to automatically follow a predetermined sequence of operations, or respond to predetermined instructions'. On the other hand her opening dialogue, among other things, imply that she's pretty self-aware about it. So which is it?

I like mass effect as a series (not the biggest fan of andromeda...). But the relationships are so fucking superficial. The romances are literally notch-on-headboard tier and always have been in every bioware game. They're just doing it now because it's what people expect and they know nobody cares about the quality of them.

I'm by no means deep into the japanese games scene, but western games are so devoid of soul right now. The best thing in that regard I've seen in recent years is probably the last of us, and I didn't even like the game, and it pulled some really cheap emotional shots like killing kids and shit because EVERYBODY'S sad when something happens to a kid, right!? No need for a connection, just make it happen to a kid. Lol, come to think of it mass effect 3 did the same thing.

Honestly, after seeing ending A i don't think 2B would be able to keep going with her shitty job any longer.

For 2B I really like dual spears, since she can link from the light spear combo to the heavy spear combo and back with the held command versions.

For A2 I prefer spear primary large sword secondary, since she doesn't have the light attack hold and because the poledance combo attack is pretty great.

For specific spears, I like Lv 4 Beastcurse, for the extra secondary attacks it gives. Offhand, either Virtuous Dignity spear for attack speed for 2B or Fang of the twins for Crit up for A2.

When the description of N:A I got is that "the gameplay of Taro's games was never that great so he teamed up with Platinum", that doesn't exactly inspire me to dig out my old consoles to play any of the previous ones myself, especially given how much of a grind they were from what I'd heard.

When it comes to love stories in games, i always tell that you should either go balls deep and make it an integral part of the story with actual character development done through it and constant dynamic in relationships, or don't do it at all. Western developers seem to think that the only form of love stories is masturbatory "romances" with zero story or character depth.

Meanwhile, if you take out complicated yet incredibly touching and deep relationships of 2B and 9S from the story, game will pretty much lose its own soul.

>just something to make everyone happy.

It is that, but it's just exceedingly clever how it ties up the game thematically. The whole thing is like a nihilistic crisis condensed into video game form - it very clearly explains how everything they did and their very existence was all pointless and without meaning, and then just finalizes that nihilism by violently killing them all off. It's pretty demoralizing. But then the ending basically allows you to reject all that and bring them back.

So, yeah, narratively it's just a tacked on happy ending. But, thematically, its like the game has just come full circle and provided catharsis and redemption for all of the demoralizing, nihilistic oppressiveness it portrayed up to that point. It's structurally really clever design, and frankly also just kind of a relief.
>>
>>174377565

SSY is a great story with big emotional impact but honestly there's not much points for comparison i can think about, and most of those points will be between SSY and first Nier, not Automata. Especially the whole "medieval setting turning out to be a sci-fi story in a permanently fucked up setting where your main enemy is your very nature".

Hilariously, Automata has some clear allusions to tokyo ghoul of all things. Up to a white-haired sexy commander who is forced to reset and suppress memories of main character so he won't go apeshit but feels awful because of it.

Hm, now that you mention it, there are similiarities.

Imo though, NieR approaches the player as o where to draw the line of conscience - and at what point something becomes somewhat "human".

Shin Sekei Yori ...is a far more spiritual journey. More about becoming a transcendent being.

Both share the focus on how meaningless conflict and war actually is. A life taken can never be given.

>>174377680
>or don't do it at all
Too many devs don't get this. I understand that Mass effect games are not about romancing your ugly shit-tier waifu. But maybe if they aren't good, they... you know... shouldn't be there (I know they're basically the only reason the game exists)?
Same with art styles, same with gameplay. Too much scope, not enough depth or focus. telling everybody about all their options sells games more than telling people there's a small number of well crafted systems.

Ever since I played fucking Saints Row 4 of all things I've been disillusioned with mass effect because a game that is a fucking parody of mass effect does joke-romances in a more mature way than the real fucking game. They're not serious mind you, just a more mature take on it and it's a literal fucking joke. Of course, that mostly speaks to the immaturity of ME's romances than the maturity of Saint's Row 4's, but the point stands.

>>174378312
SSY feels a very eastern thing. Far more eastern than even Taro's works. Very subtle, very delicate and with terrifying implications following you all the way. While Automata's ending is clearly optimistic in nature, SSY's ending is a living hell under disguise of a happy end that brings no comfort and only emphasizes how deeply the setting is fucked up.
>>
>>174377995
Nier and Automata also have similarities to Xenoblade X. Can the Mims be considered human, or are they more like androids or replicants wanting to be humans. There whole situation is pretty similar to the Gestalt and Replicant split, till the ending reveals their original bodies have been dead for a while and their mim bodies shouldn't even be functioning anymore.

I don't know. ME:A might be fine for some people. Not everyone can take the density NieR provides.
It seems a lot like an MMO ...chill farming. And although I find the love scenes I've from ME:A seen disgusting, there are people who just enjoy that shallow no-consequences fuck.

On the other hand: Bayonetta is a very dense game when it comes to combat. NieR is a bit more relaxed. It has a different effect on how the whole world feels. I ran around grinding some, because I needed time to think about events. Automata was really well paced for my taste.

Scope and depth somewhat end up setting part of the tone.
Pic related: Kaine realizing her feelings needed a lot of context to make sense.

This is why I think saint's row 4's are better. They acknowledge that, and play to it instead of pretending it's deeper than it is and treating the player like a moron.

I just don't enjoy Mass Effect's level of filler. People talk about this game and how side quests are giving them existential crises, meanwhile mass effect is 80%
>these badguys took some stuff, go kill all of them and get it back.
With maybe a handful of notable ones. Obviously you can boil down almost any of Nier's quests to the same thing, the difference is the motivation and impact they have on the characters and story. Almost every quest in nier is actually related to the character and has some level of emotional weight. It's like... why do people speak so highly about the black pearl quest in the witcher 3? It's certainly not because you need to go find a pearl for some guy.
>>
>>174377778

The ending was done so well. The way the game presents how you get help from other players is fantastic. Throughout route C you become more and more isolated, because you no longer have a partner and then all of the YorHa die so no more operator or commander. Then Pascal and the village bite the dust. Then Devola and Popala, who "nursed" 9S back to health die too so there's almost no more friendly characters.

The whole game becomes a really lonely place, like even the happy robots in the amusement park get all fucked up. Then at the very end they show you all the other people helping you and it breaks that isolated lonely feel.

>>
>>174383613
>I should probably be doing more sidequests huh?
should have done them all or most of them as 2b
>>
Can the 11B's Memento quest be completed as 9S? It's fucking bugged in my game and the corpse isn't where it should be.
>>
which is the best ending of drakengard?
>>
>>174384214
All of them.
>>
>>174384443
even E?
>>
>>174384580
Is that really a question? Of course.
>>
Oi what's the best light/heavy combo?

Hard mode: No Combat Bracers. Every combo they're a part of is badass
>>
>>174383808
>should have done them all or most of them as 2b

Why? Being able to hack high level enemies makes 9S far more viable.
>>
>>174383613
as 9S you unlock a few more sidequests, a few more cutscenes, the locked chests, and the bosses are different.

Also, fuck off or you'll get spoiled hard

>>174383613
9S' playthrough is significantly shorter and varies slightly, and route C is not actually a third playthrough at all. Also I highly advise that you leave this thread before someone like me spoils the rest of the game for you, nigger. Just play the game.

Oh my god. This game is even more dogshit than I expected.

She is really rubbing herself on him too.
>>
>>174385416
simply epic
>>
>>174376418
I think redhead broke because she constantly wiped her memories and didn't give herself the chance to process the pain.

Can you imagine finding out that it was you who killed someone you love? With no knowledge of how you felt when you did it. Maybe you even enjoyed it.
That sort of speculation can really mess with your head.
>>
>>174385014
Spear and Heavy Sword.
>>
>>174385626
Was it explained why redhead killed her friends? I don't remember. I was under the impression that only 9S was really advanced enough to figure out the truth, so what were the others being killed for?
>>
>>174386162
Because she was an executioner unit. This is literally explained at the end of the quest.
>>
>>174386162
9S was advanced enough that he would ALWAYS learn the truth. Not that he was the only one that would learn the truth.
There was probably some here and there that managed to piece something together.
There's also the case of deserters and such.
It didn't always have to be about finding the truth.

I'm making a new DS1 character. I'm basing him off of Papa Nier (Nier). Obviously, these games have totally different artstyles and I cannot perfectly replicate (get it?) everything but I tried what I could. What do you guys think?
>>
someone give me a plausible explanation for why there are references to the watchers in nier automata

don't use the word callback
>>
>>174386451
Anon I know she's an E, I was asking what her friends did that she had to kill them.

>>174386497
Yeah deserters and betrayers I figured would be the primary reason for E models in the first place, but redhead said she was killing her friends, not hunting down rogue units. Unless her friends just always end up going rogue for some reason, figured it had to be something else.
>>
Drakengard 3
Is there any point to leveling up all weapons and Intoners? If it's just to unlock weapon stories, Intoner memories and the Weapon Maniac trophy then fuck that noise. I'll just read the wikia.

I want to start playing the original Nier, already.

>>174387093
Being an E model, she would have been assigned as a partner/team member to YorHa and resistance androids that command was suspicious of and become friends with them. Then the kill command would come.

So why did 2B wear the maid/lolita dress for the main mission, but switch to her tactical gear later on?
Was it because she knows 9S likes it? If he's distracted by her maybe he won't figure out YoRHa.

>>
>>174390232
>you're thinking how much you want to **** 2B? debate
9S goes on talking about how he wants 2B in an ambiguous way but the next few times he sees iterations of her he goes full yandere and slaughters her.
>>
Does anyone have the picture of Shy Gal dressed as 2B? I saw it before and forgot to save it.
>>
Would it be completely ass-retarded to go back and play NieR 1 now that I've completed Automata?
I only got up to the timeskip in the first one.
And can I play Drakengard 3 without bothering with the first 2? I hate emulating games.

Anyone have the "This cannot continue" image?

Your persistence will pay off.
It took me 7 and a half hours.
In that time the entire move set went into my muscle memory, my reflexes and analytical skills improved dramatically.
If I had played on normal, I probably would have mashed light the whole way.
