I do remember thinking the game was over rated when I first played it. But it's not just over rated. It's actually just straight up bad.

playing as 9s and having to constantly do the fricking minigame to do any damage was an instant drop for me. not even 2b's ass cheeks could keep me playing
Oh gods, I had forgotten about that.
The hacking mini games were so fricking bad.
Glad to see NA still filtering closet homos after 6 long years.
The game is a timeless masterpiece and 9S is the real MC + waaay more FUN to play.
wrong. also the gameplay in this game suck regardless
No U, troony fricker.
Few modern games are as FUN and varied as Automata. I've 100% the game twice now, on 2 different systems, and will definitely revisit it again and again in the future.
NA is a proof that the future of gaming lies in the AA games.
no.
game has been out for years now, no need to shillpost
Frick off fake woman. I WILL shill one of THE greatest video games of all time. This bad boy instantly restored my faith in gaming after a fricking DECADE of suffering casual triple-A garbage we all know about.
NA is the same caliber gem of a game as OoT/MM, SH2, MGS2, Ico & SotC... with a fun and flashy gameplay straight out of MGR.
>>Tons of unskippable cutscenes
to a boss force you to watch the unskippables again every time
Thanks for admitting you didn't play the game.
filtered. I liked the Geometry Wars minigame, personally.
You're the one that didn't play the game.
Yes, the actual cutscenes are skippable. But most of the "cutscenes" are not actually cutscenes.
So you will be stuck listening to dialog that you can't skip, having no controll over your character, just sitting there waiting for the not-cutscene to finish.
013-040 is cutscene, which means you can hold B to skip it. The rest is not. Which means, if you die, you have to watch it over again.
Thought you meant the "cinematic" ones with the skip button. Whatever, though.
>Whatever
No. It is not fricking whatever.
Forcing someone to rewatch cutscenes is not okay. Especially in a game that has a difficulty option where you die in 1 hit.
>Forcing someone to rewatch cutscenes is not okay.
Git gud and don't die, then.
>specially in a game that has a difficulty option where you die in 1 hit.
VH mode is a choice.
And who in their right mind would make the choice to try out that challenge when they know a single mistake will make them sit and watch the same dialog and slow walking animations over and over.
It's still a choice. If you choose it, then you know what you're getting yourself into. eos

stopped reading, no idea what game you played but it wasn't the same one I played

And I'm not even simplifying it to make them seem worse than they are.
I've gotten several quests like this, whith literally less text description and flavour than in mmo's.
I tried replaying it a few years ago. I skipped all the sidequests and wound up so underleveled that I got stuck at the very beginning of the 3rd act. Unfortunately that killed my desire to ever play the game again. I love character action games, but rpg elements have no place in the genre. I just want a quick, focused experience, but Automata doesn’t want you to have that; it wants you to either do sidequests for experience, grind for material drops to upgrade your weapon, or get lucky with chip drops. The different difficulty levels are some of the most imbalanced I’ve seen in the genre. The shmup elements are underdeveloped and extremely easy. 9S’ route is a slog you must endure to unlock the second half of the story. The worst part is that Yoko Taro originally conceived the multiple routes thing in Drakengard to pad the length of his low budget games. With Automata he finally had a big budget, yet he *still* reused the map three times to pad the game’s length. Unfortunately the best part of Automata is the story; not the gameplay. Since that’s the case you might as well just watch the cutscenes on youtube. I’ll take a linear action game like Ninja Gaiden any day.
>I just want a quick, focused experience
Then do not play Nier games.
Side quests are pretty much the bread and soul, and everyone knows about the "lol you need to replay the game X times!" meme (which does not apply to Automata, but still).
>shitting on the compact and fun map design.
Yeah, you gays don't know what you're talking about.
>Unfortunately the best part of Automata is the story; not the gameplay.
Nope. The best parts are the GAMEPLAY and how it is used to deliver the SUBTEXT of the game. The plot is merely alright, enough to keep ya entertained and second guessing, but the way it ties to the IRL lives of modern humans and utilizes the unique interactive nature of gaming is the element that elevates Automata to a status of an art piece.
I’m not here to argue, but the core hack and slash combat in Automata is no better than what you’d find in a mobile game. Combos exist but there’s no reason to ever combo enemies; there’s no style system, no extra experience for killing with combos, no improved damage scaling - it’s actually less efficient to combo and juggle enemies as opposed to throwing out dash+heavy and then spamming light attack while your sword spins in place. Pod is a worthless inclusion; just hold the fire button for free damage. It’s so thoughtless that it might as well not exist. The enemy variety outside of bosses never encourages you to vary your approach to combat, especially in 9S’ campaign where you have one sword and are instead encouraged to perform a literal mobile-tier hacking minigame. But the worst part is the level scaling, which drops your damage output the greater the difference between your level and the enemy’s, meaning skill doesn’t win battles; numbers does. If you approach an enemy underleveled you do little damage, punishing the player for not grinding; you’ll notice competent action games aren’t RPGs for this very reason. You’re free to enjoy the game and it’s combat, but as someone that loves character action games I consider Automata - just as an action game - one of the weaker ones I’ve played.
>but the core hack and slash combat in Automata is no better than what you’d find in a mobile gam
It's miles better than. The best Platinum has created thus far.
>waah waah you don't NEED to use muh combos!
Cry some more. You've tried to make these same arguments in the past.
Pod programs, 9S and hacking are still the best parts of the game. It's also a masterpiece that goes well beyond a mere "game"; it's a life altering experience like no other.
Cringe automata baby FF7 clears your waifu simulator game
Also the combat doesn’t even hold a candle to FF16, Bayonetta MGR or even fricking kh3, you’re delusional and this is coming from someone who loved the game when it first came out
Ignore these morons, enjoy Nier games
post nier shitposts.
>verification not required
nier would have been fine if player wasn't forced to replay same shit twice only to push story further, i quick halfway through the twink walkthrough and i regret every single minute i spend playing that garbage that i could have spent jacking off to 2B's ass
Most NieR:A shitters didn't even finish the prologue.
>bought Nier on sale on PC earlier in the year
>Spent about 2 days getting texture mods and other qol fixes for it working
>Haven't touched the game
Damn, I really need to finish. I got to the End of act 1 on PS4 (2b) before I dropped it. Anyone know if the cyberpunk outfit mod is worth losing the classic 2b outfit?
Honestly im in similar sich with Nier.
I actually preordered it on pc.
I lvoe the game but i barely tourched it since 2017 and I only put like 13 hours.
The game is always installed on my pc but I need to be in the "mood" to play this gameand im never in the mood
Any good 2B shota animations. Asking for my...mom.
May all Automata appreciators and their assigned YoRHA romantic partner have a nice day.
All of that sounds wonderful.
I want to be jackhammered sometimes though
I'm sure it can be arranged. YoRHA units can mix it up as needed both in the battlefield and the bedroom.
That's why Toobie's the best; always flexible and willing to accommodate to her partner's needs. I wanna cuddle up to her and spend all day kissing.
Toobie butt

Why hasn't Yoko Taro tried returning to Drakengard? Besides being the thing he made when he was being edgy, why not go back there and see what he can do with it now that he's more immersed in the gaming industry.
>Why hasn't Yoko Taro tried returning to Drakengard?
Ask Square-Enix, they'd be the ones funding and publishing it. Best bet is to get Yosuke Saito to produce, first off. Yoko can't do shit without funding.
Give Yui Ishikawa 2B gf
I would suck a hot steaming exhaust brap out of 2b's android butthole, inhale it and then go back in for more

>>Have to play gimped if you want a HUD
You mean he HUD that takes up like 1 chip slot? Stop being such a homosexual. I bet you fused diamond chips with regular ones, too. Idiot.
No. That's just one part of the HUD.

My math might not be that good. But that's 20. Not 1, as you claim.
And I did not even include all the HUD options. If you want to display minor things like fishing spots, save locations and some other things, you need even more points.
Idiot.
My bad, but big deal, you can have up to 128 slots anyway. It's still fun to mess around with once you unlock some more slots.
>it needs to see fishing spots instead of literally just looking at visible on-screen water/ oil
kek
I didn't even add that in the ones I numbered you idiot.
I literally said that was one of the minor ones.
What about having a minimap? Or a health bar? Or showing what lvl the enemies you are about to fight? Considering how much lvl scaling matters in this game, that is pretty damn important.
128 later yes. But early game you are starved for slots. And that's when you need to chips the most.
Can you honestly say the game even forces you to use chips you find until much later in the game? It's not a difficult game on normal mode.
>Lol you didn't even play the game nier automata is perfect
>Get proven wrong
>That doesn't matter anyway
I genuinly hate fanboys.
Never said it was perfect. Just that the OP is bad at the game. Which is sad, since it's not even difficult on normal mode.
Get better arguments dipshit.
