| @PeenusWeenusCaim Damn, I didn't know I had to read the novels now. |

| Grimoire Noir is kinda worth reading. Because you'll learn about some pretty fun stuff like how Nier truly doomed humanity when he tried to save Yonah Or Kaine's tendency to masturbate after killing shades. You'll get nothing from the Drakengard 3 spinoff though. Ignore that garbage. |

There are a total of 26 endings, from A-Z. Some of them are rather obvious(like not picking the right choice for progression), while others are hinted in the lore. I had to dig for some of them though(since I don't really game much I do miss out doing some stuff here and there). But of all secret endings, ending Y was the best ending in the whole game. It made me tear as well. |

| Is this game more accessible than MGR? I was able to finish MGR on Normal, but gave up when I had to fight Armstrong again in the DLC. Why the fuck does Steam almost never get demos? PC needs demos more than any other platform, if you think about it. |

 SOON Ezekiel said: Gameplay wise this should be more accessible than MGR. They've stated it'd be easier than the usual Platinum title. Though, this being a Yoko Taro game, anything is possible.

lol wtf dem comments how did you even get there ? Jiharo said: I really love this game. The secret ending was so worth it! Requirements are hard but well worth it. the game come out for ps4 in February 23, 2017 how many hours playing ? so you have finished the game ? that was fast |

And the hacking game you'll use a lot later on is a top down twin-stick shooter. |

Like platformers, shoot em ups are simplistic and therefore very accessible. This Armstrong fight is inaccessible because I, frankly, don't know what the game wants me to do and when. The camera is also terrible. I don't like the combat system much. The battle drains me of patience before I can figure it out. PeenusWeenusCaim said: Not at all.

The combat system itself is easier than MGR, since you have an evade instead of a parry, so the timing isn't as strict. You can also equip different software chips to suit your combat style. Also there are no QTEs like MGR. |

It made me tear as well. Well, I think I mentioned there are more than 1 secret endings with the S after the ending so I'm not sure what you mean by that. I didn't use any guide online though. I had friends playing this game so I just ask them whenever I'm stuck. Also, I don't really game much so don't use me as a yardstick. I think you should ask seasoned gamers instead if they could fish all secret endings(F-Z) by themselves or not without referring to any guides. .__.

Also I'm not fast. People have managed to finish hard difficulty already way earlier than I do. |

Still not that big of an Issue, for me at least, You buy shit on PSN, play it for 2.5 seconds, you're fucked. You're not getting a refund. The only problem I see with this is if you have slow internet or have a small cap, but generally if you have slow internet or have a small cap you woulsn't be going around downloading 5-10gb files out of curiosity. |

| How accurate are the translations? I noticed the Steam version lists Japanese audio. I think I'd rather play it with the original audio and subs. I don't like the English voice for 9S. I noticed a few differences and sync issues when I watched the demo in Japanese with subs, but I could barely understand any of it. Would be great if games had subs for the translated audio AND the original audio. |

Yoko Taro also said not to worry about localization differences "because my writing is pretty shitty anyways". |

| Nier and Drakengard flop financially and get mediocre scores critically. Nier then gets branded for mobile gaming to save itself financially. And Yoko Taro almost quits the gaming industry for a long list of financial failures. But because of Nier's strong cult following, Platinum being huge fans of Nier, and Saito Yosuke threatening to quit Square if he didn't get to work on one more project with Taro: Square ends up GOING to Yoko Taro for another Nier game. He gets one more chance and YET: The game then goes on to get 1.5 stars on Amazon JP (which is really bad in Japan) in its first few days. Then after another weird chance of luck, the reception reverts, Automata is now at 4 stars on Amazon JP and has topped Japanese sales charts at 200k. What an absolute madman. |
|
| @PeenusWeenusCaim So all that fanservice for 2B is because she won't be there anymore for you to see. I mean, they even made sure her fleshy bits move in a proper manner, including the top of her thigh highs. As someone else said, this was a labor of love. But fucking hell, I really wanted to play with her more, I don't care about the other characters. I'll be waiting for the PC release anyway. |

I thought that was the whole point of the game, at least thats the only reason why I even bothered to wait for this game on PC. Regardless, the character design is a bombshell and dem thighs wow. IT'S FLESHY, IT MOVES. THE HAMSTRINGS MOOOOOOOOOVE! THIS. GAME. IS. THE. BEST. Although, honestly, I love Yoko Taro's stories. So I'll be playing it anyway. |

worldeditor11 said: #1 rule for any Yoko Taro game.Wait, you are telling I would not be playing as the robot girl with occasional panty shots for half the game? U wot mate Never get attached to a character. Ever. He's the type of person who will go out of his way to make a character likeable before offing said character in some horrible way just so he can bask in salty fan tears.  If it means bringing pain to fans, he'll do it. He almost implemented a boss fight where the fps would intentionally tank just to mess with the player in Automata. |

| 10 more days until steam version's out... but then an indefinite amount of days until a repack, le sigh... |

| Why does Platinum Games keep locking their PC games to 1920x1080 and 60 fps? https://youtu.be/JO-_FKlHRRQ?t=24m4s MGR did it too. I'm sure it will be modded in no time, but it would be nice if I didn't have to do that. |

PeenusWeenusCaim said: I'm actually more bothered by the resolution cap. Originally, I was just gonna type 1920x1080. My monitor is only 60 Hz and I don't plan to get a higher refresh rate monitor, since newer games are hard enough to run in 2560x1440 at 60 fps. I don't even know what 120 Hz and 144 Hz look like.

| The music being synchronized with the boss attacks/phases are +1 Although the music in Nier is better, the music and how it's used in Automata in tandem with the gameplay makes for a very dynamic feeling you hardly get from video games. I actually feel like I'm in theater.  |
|
| How short is this game? I pre ordered it and stuff but haven't had the time to sit down and play it. I'm hoping this game keeps me busy for a while, was pretty disappointed how short ffxv and re7 were story-wise. |

Found the iron pipe from the original Nier accompanied with flavor text of his daughter interacting with him. I expected references but not like this. I am sad now. |
