What is the point of this being a sequel to Nier if the two stories have almost nothing to do with each other?

What is the point of this being a sequel to Nier if the two stories have almost nothing to do with each other?

Also

I think a better question is why do goons constantly shitpost about this game?

t. weeagoon

You have to go back.

This is almost as idiotic as cumskin

I've been here longer than you, weeagoon.

It's what games do when they don't have enough to stand on their own and need brand recognition.

What's the point of making a PC port if it crashes every single hour no matter what you do to fix it?

Tons of series do this. This isn't anything new. Ever heard of Final Fantasy?

D E E P E S T L O R E

Your PC sucks, user. Never crashed for me once.

I'm totally gonna use this now

jizzskin, or birdshitskin sounds better tbh

wew

It's set in the same universe and the events of the previous game are a key foundation of its world-building so I'm just assuming you have brain damage.
Shit tier thread, make a good one next time

...

No, it doesn't. Try harder.

No it doesn't work on my machine or yours doesn't suck?

shoo shoo shill

There are two kinds of gamers: the somewhat intelligent ones and the braindead ones.

The latter group literally can't pay attention for more than 5 minutes. Luckily for them there is the porn.

I think you're the braindead retard that is talking about. I've posted three times in a row, gimme my (you) you fucking slut.

Thread theme

are we being raided?

Perpetually

Yeah, by faggots who don't contribute to video game threads, but instead sage while complaining.

I WILL admit the OP is (1) and done, but then so are most of the shitposters.

what did he mean by this?

...

Off topic but while we're having this shit thread; anyone elese found this game to be too short?
i would've enjoyed if it had been longer and filled with side quests and things like that.

Also:
Why did those niggers make A2 cut her hair?
Why did i have to replay with the twink boy?
Throughout the game i thought that i would be able to go into those elevator doors in the end, but it was a hoax.
Why?

Are you talking about the elevator doors in the shopping mall ?
They are tied to a side quest.

As much of a shitpost this may be, the supplementary material does help to bridge the gap between the two games and is canonical to the series as well as this year's recital script (not mentioned in that pic) that pretty much confirms ending E as canon.
Also unrelated but the YoRHa stage play is the ultimate argument against that dev who always autistically screeches about how Yoko Taro stole ideas from him.


It does feel a bit short in routes C/D. Honestly I have more of a problem with how there's really nothing else to do in the world that does not involve grinding for rare drops or looking for a specific unit to spawn in order to 100% the game.
Also the levelling system not tied to proper enemy scaling really fucks over the difficulty at some point. You can grind for a while at the beginning of the game, and it will greatly affect the difficulty even in later parts of it.

I still had fun with it and I expect Platinum to learn from the experience and step up their game if they ever do open world styled vidyas again.

because she wasn't best girl enough so they made her apex girl

do the side quests

I like Zero more than 2B

most people just like 2b for her big android ass, pretty much any other character Yoko has wrote is more interesting, she's sorta just exist to catalyst events for A2 and 9s

Well, i've encountered about three or four of them which apparently are those hoax doors. Don't remember entering the shopping mall one. What was it about in that quest?

exactly, i agree on that.
idk, compared to other games i liked the difficulty. I played on the second hardest one. Enemies weren't too easy nor too hard to kill and i was dead by 3 - 4 hits.

my bad, was talking about the ones with androids pleading infront.

Who is best girl?
and why is it 9S

Yeah you're not wrong, 2B is kinda like the Raiden of this game, made for the point of bait and switch. Though 2B has more purpose that that, she still lacks character.
The difference though is that Zero will forever exist in a lesser game. 2B will be remembered much longer than Zero, if only for that fact that Automata is made better, has more satisfying combat, and seems more like a polished experience than DoD3.
Life ain't fair for best girl
Kaine doesn't count

Zero also got a lot of flak for the messed up english dub. Which is unfortunate because her english VA wasn't even bad she was jut working with incorrect material

Explain Final Fantasy then.
How are they even remotely connected.

Every game takes place in Australia after an emupocalypse and the chocobo are merely their dormant and docile form, waiting for the next chance to strike.

Nigga that's gay

I kinda view that like Gestalt, a different Zero in terms of character. But it does change her entire character, which is unfortunate to say the least.
I wish Moonman didn't hate us, maybe then he'd care to make sure that his stuff was given proper treatment in the west

9Shota

Each takes place in its own universe, all connected by theme, e.g., chosen heroes, magic, and powerful crystals. However XII exists in the same world as the Tactics games.

The combat wasn't even bad it's just that the fucking game runs at 10-15fps whenever you're not doing nothing in an empty level while facing a wall with the camera pointed towards the ground

It certainly is the best of the DoD series, but yeah it runs like ass. It's sad how bad it runs.
Actually painful and tear inducing.
I hope RPCS3 makes it run at 60 one day. It's my personal dream.

I don't think Taro hates us, I think he probably isn't even aware that there's such huge differences made by localizations since he's not great at English or a westaboo.

You didn't play the game seeing as how it stands on its own really fucking well.

Don't tell me about it, I m playing the fucking thing in 480p just to not have it be completely unwatchable.
Thankfully I only have 2 prologue DLCs and Branch D to go through before I'm fucking done

I was certain that he had an interview on the matter, but I can't find it. I hope it's just ignorance, and not a disdain for the west.
At the very least he seems to enjoy the differences as a neat way to think about his games

You're not gonna be done for a while, especially at 480p

I don't think he thinks highly of the west, but I don't know why. I could understand with all the shit going on from one end, and on the other end you have people acting like they completely misunderstood his ideas when they understood and just like the monsters he made anyway.

I'm actually hoping I can just scum the fuck out of that part like I did in 1

I just hope you have good speakers

I did find it a bit short, but I didn't mind that because by the time I started up the game again to finish off route B, my brother had played through all 5 endings and did the thing where you delete all your save data to help other players during the E ending. So it was kind of nice being able to blast through the first two routes so quickly in my case since I'd already seen the majority of stuff in them.

Learn how to read.

Blow your brains out, queer.

Some FF games are connected. Nova Chrystallis and all that.

I'm always amazed how Japan lives in their own bubble. I mean so do the US but at least Americans speak English.

And this inevitably means that localisation companies hold tremendous power.

Works on my machine.

That doesn't mean his PC sucks. Quantum Break ran like shit on PC even if you had a high-end rig.

You could ask that about every other Taro game in the Drakengard/Nier series save maybe the second one.

yeah, but who wants to play quantum break?

At least there's some nice cheese spots in some levels in branch D that make it one of the easiest branches in the game, save the bosses.

;_;

My 100+ hours of flawless 60 fps gamplay say otherwise.
Who to trust?

...

I had issues with the resolution, but it ran fine after using the FAR mod.

Well you either bad at computers or have bad computer. Or both.
Running games is not rocket science, it's lego.
Also sage is not a downboat, reddit-kun.

Maybe they were bitten by feminists, and they have been contaminated with great ability to whine non stop about it even if it has been long past the time to complain.

Now on other hand if people complain about the SJW game Dream Daddy, then it is a valid argument and hate is given.

It begins

There's actually a guy that plays it one-handed he only has one arm though

Another dumbass user didn't read shit so didn't get it


The point of automata is explaining the point of nier. They literally end it with an explanation of "lifes not worth living unless you have something worth fighting for"

HOW DOE FUCKING RETARDS NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS. ITS NOT FUCKING SUBTEXT ITS LITERALLY TOLD TO YOU DIRECTLY.

Fuck modern games have ruined some of you fuckers.

I hope you liked this joke. It's funny and sad.
60fps when?

You're new to video games huh?

If you're suggesting that machines created YoRHa, you're wrong.
Machines did come in contact with the project Gestalt journals along with additional info on humanity and integrated it into the network, that's how they developed their own ego. Then they created evolutionary dead-ends in the form of Pascal, the forest machines, and probably others we don't know about, in an attempt to handicap itself and give a chance to the androids to keep fighting against them, all to keep fulfilling the objective the aliens assigned to them.
YoRHa androids are abominations that were supposed to be disposable from the beginning, but they are not machine-created.

You missed some files in 9s's run.

Maybe post a screenshot or two.

Reminder that socjus shills shit on this game regardless of its actual pros and cons.
Nier Automata is fantastic and you should play it.

Unless you're a fag from pre-exodus, no you haven't.

Comfy as fuck in between all the suffering, too.
