Nier Automata / Yoko Taro General

Thanks man. Just started Nier, and it, just like Drakengard, is very rough around the edges, but still weird and interesting enough to hold my attention.

would you kill yourself my nigga ?

Also adding to that, losing your chips on death and the checkpoint system is terrible, especially if you're dying because you're under-leveled or playing on Very Hard, it makes the backtracking even more obnoxious.

Aside from a few moments of brilliance (like the final boss fight at the credits, and the amazing soundtrack) I genuinely did not like playing this game, which is odd considering I enjoyed the demo. I guess I was expecting much more from the final product, like a score/rank system of some sort, a more balanced difficulty, good boss fights and that the checkpoints would work differently. Those are all staples in Platinum's best games.

I ended up selling Automata, got a PSN card with that money and bought Yakuza 0 (seriously, it's fucking great) and Resonance of Fate on sale. I don't regret that one bit.

Finished it without as much a hiccup on a 5 year old computer. The only curious issue was single digit FPS when run fullscreen.

It's a hacking minigame. Get it? That's your cue to go all meta. Fire up Cheat Engine. Lives are 3 to 0 and you'll find them no trouble.

The names carry no significance except for the Marxists (and personally, Kierkegaard because he's a shitty apologist who didn't have his head screwed on right). Even then you had to stretch it "because worker collective etc". The guy who wrote this tripe tried to pull a Mamoru Oshii and fell flat.

I haven't played N.A for a while, is the DLC worth picking up in terms of story? I'm not too interested in new weapons or more side quests.

I stupidly deleted my game without making a back up, so I have to play it all through again at some point. Would that affect the DLC?

is that not what is best in life?

...

how is reading something about the gestalt project the same as merging with nier?

lol

Okay so let me see if I have everything straight
Did I miss anything?

you're wrong about everything
