Playthrough 3 started.

  Spoiler:

Shit's fucked, yo.

Apparently managed to spent about 4 hours doing random sidequests and upgrading shit

I really enjoy these side-quests, there're the perfect way to do "show, don't tell" as part of the story, and the use of the soundtrack at the end of some of them is uh, haunting.

Oh also, use the dynamic scanner everywhere, thank me later

[Dahak]

Playthrough 3 complete.

  Spoiler:

Shit's even more fucked than before, yo.

Non-Weebs? Yay / Nay / Wait for Sale?

I'm about 30 hours in, this is my first Japanese-y Japanese game. There are a few weeb bait bits but overall it's not a big deal. I'm really enjoying the story and watching layer after layer of the onion get peeled back. Also the soundtrack is great. Combat is enjoyable if you like Bayonetta or Devil May Cry fast-paced slashing.

Oh and you can ride a moose.

Not sure how much stock you put in Jim Sterling, but he had a pretty positive review: http://www.thejimquisition.com/nier-automata-review/

ayyy


can't wait for his syndromeda

[UsernameisValidandNotinUs]

meh

He really misses the point a few times in that review

also he heavily spoils the game, as usual, and doesn't seem to see how they make the story "work"

then again, his "thing" is to hate games, so iunno

specifically I don't understand his complaints about the sidequests and "needing to do multiple playthroughs"

i really enjoyed the sidequests and so far each playthrough has been different enough that it might as well be a new game.

His complaints about the difficulty/breaking the game via plugin chips are accurate though

So who else found this

  Spoiler:

Also I have now gone from "this is a good game" to "I fucking love this".

[Dahak]

Welp.



Couldn't bring myself to sacrifice my data in the end. Neat idea, though.

[UsernameisValidandNotinUs]

You're missing a couple endings I found by wandering off during important plot events, which results in some pretty funny messages mostly revolving around 2B's love of fishing

Also, I found a fix for the fix for the resolution, Xenosis 1 - Angry Modder 0



money money

[Dahak]

Yeah, I got one entirely accidentally by going out of bounds right as a certain important radio message comes in. Something like "Suddenly she felt like going for a stroll. When she came back everyone was dead." Roll credits, thank you, come again.

Edit: They're optional sidequests, but I highly suggest anyone playing do the "Emil's Memories" quest in playthrough A and/or B, then the "Gathering Keepsakes" quest in C.

[UsernameisValidandNotinUs]

Route C is uh

Unexpected

edit: oh dear

I should have expected this after Nier I guess

[UsernameisValidandNotinUs]

C and D done

currently sweating buckets

gimme back the rhythm game tbh

edit: I give up, i'll smash it tomorrow

  Spoiler:

doubleedit: nearly finished it without realizing you weren't supposed to solo it

my thumbs hurt

You'll go back there for an Ending.

Or maybe a Beginning. Also the best remix of a Nier track in Automata

(Strongly advise people to read the weapon stories, specifically the ones from "that" vendor, it puts a pretty different spin on Ending E, especially if you've played Nier 1)

[Mortvvs]

39 hours later, all endings done
I think something broke inside me

39 hours later, all endings done

I have a severe case of the post-game depression tbh

ending Y especially

  Spoiler:

Also did anyone else catch the Watcher mark on Eve?

Or that Accord basically smuggles guns between two dimensions for giggles?

[Armag3ddon]

Finaly beat the game. :A2 did nothing wrong:

Now binging on wikis to see what I missed.
