I decided to give this game another shot, because I thought to myself, maybe I missed something my first 3 playthroughs all those years ago. So, I install it again. Start a game, on hard this time - because apparently the combat is only decent on hard, or some other retarded cope, and start the game.Very first thing I get is some 3deep5u despondent monologue about 2B's desire to kill her creator. After a pathetic attempt to build tension using an emotionless, horribly scored scripted event that dragged on for entirely too long, I am thrown into some crappy bullet hell minigame, occasionally interrupted by a superlaser (that can be seen literally 3 seconds before it actually discharges) blow away my squad mates while they just sit there. >Requesting permission to all range mode>Permission to all range mode grantedSo, I get through all of this shit, go through the Death Star trench run, and I'm on the ground. Finally. Then because it's been years since I played, I die and have to do it again. All of it. And, I remember that the beginning of the 9S playthrough manages to be even fucking worse.People who defend this self-indulgent circle-jerk with some gameplay bolted on are the most hilarious delusional midwits it's unreal. This is worse than final form Kojima.And to top it all off, it's fucking squeenix. Holy fucking shit. Retards. All of you, absolute retards.
why haven't they made another one yet? is yoko taro retarded? i thought this at least sold enough to not condemn him to gacha hell
>>695429605They did. It was called Replicant, and it was shit.
>>695429516Get filtered again retard.Imagine how pathetic a person is who plays a game 4 times despite hating it, just because he realizes deep inside that he is retarded and desperately wants to be smart enough to understand, yet keeps failing. It's somehow even more sad than regular retardation.
>>695429516Simply play better. My retarded normie girlfriend made it past the tutorial, it's pretty embarrassing that you can't
>>695429683>>695429716>retards missing the point entirelyJust more confirmation. Only idiots think this game is good.
>>695429605he's notoriously lazy and mobile trash is a quick buck for him. that said you should look up nier r3pent, we might be getting 3 sooner rather than later.
>>695429648anon gestalt/replicant came out before automata, replicant *the one you played* was a remake/remaster
>>695429648i played that 12 years ago and i'm not going to play it again as a gay twinkmake a new one please
Let me guess. English dub? Unless you're playing in Japanese without subtitles you'll never truly get to experience the artists' authentic script and vision.
>>695429895Whatever, dumbass. Forgive me for not caring enough about garbage to investigate its history.
Okay? I guess I'll re-install.Promise, I'm doing it right now and you can stop
>>695429605>is yoko taro retardedYes, just like his newfag fans who only played melodramata.
>>695429943Fuck off, language faggot. If the game is going to be such an insufferable slog in any language other than Japanese, don't fucking translate it in the first place.
>>695429516It is a game for hispanics, and they cherish it.
>>695430151This explains quite a bit.
the gameplay is subpar, i think some of the design decisions are at odds with each other. but the visual and audio design, the atmosphere, the music, the narrative, all of that is top tier and is able to carry an otherwise subpar gaming experience. is it my favourite game? not by a longshot. do i enjoy the overall package? absolutely.
>>695430068you really enjoy throwing stones in a glass house
>>695429516Get a load of this fag being so angry that he couldn't get to the first save point because he's not good enough.I had the same experience a couple of days ago but I wasn't mad, I was impressed that platinum had the balls to make hard mode so punishing right out of the gates.
>>695430268You don't even know what that idiom means, clearly.
>>695430197>the gameplay is subparthe gameplay is amazing
>>695430283Clearly, it doesn't take much to impress you at all.
>>695429516You wrote a lot of words but didn't actually say what you don't like about it. You just got really angry that other people enjoy it and you got your arse handed to you on hard mode.If you don't like it, that's fine. Move on.
>>695430337lol no
>>695430337The entire time you’re playing Nier Automata, you’re thinking “this bitch is just a worst Vergil”
>playing on hard for better combat>playing yoko taro game for combatanother retard experiencing a piece of art and not enjoying it because he doesn't understand what makes it beautiful.forest for the trees.
>>695430316>gets called out for being objectively wrong >insults the intelligence of the person calling them out glass house zoomer
>>695430458>Only retards play games for gameplayWhew lad
>>695429516I think I had like 10+ hours played on Steam and it was just from doing the tutorial over and over and getting killed by the big robot and the twin blades. But lately, I finally managed to get through it.
>>695430371*i'll ad to my post here-I could write a lot about why i thought it was an excellent game. In fact i have wrote endless paragraphs both on here and on neogaf about what makes it good, about its use of the medium in clever and creative ways.But you're clearly just out to yell at people and not have a conversation, i'm not going to waste my time.
>>695430484You still don't know what it means.
>>695430386what games do you consider to have good gameplay?
>>695429516>defend this nonsense?What normie game you enjoy?
>>695430548I'll use some examples from the gameplay attempts visible in Nier.Starfox 64Zone of the EndersDevil May Cry 3
>>695430068the part where it says Version 1.2 whatever is meant to indicate that there was a Version 1 before that
>>695430649Okay, fine. I was wrong about that. The question on my mind now, why would I care?
>>695430337eeehh i found it exceedingly easy. i would prefer to play revengeance or bayonetta for that kind of platinum hack and slash, which actually are in my favourite games of all time. making it an rpg with all the stats and leveling was kind of meh and turns a lot of the fights into slogs of wailing on an enemy with a big ol health pool. the enemy variety was too small considering how large the game world was. many encounters you can just run past and are inconsequential. it's not the worst gameplay in the world, but that doesn't make it good. the gameplay is just not the reason that i like automata.
>>695430507>play games for gameplaywould you say you watch movies for moviewatch?do you read books for bookread? you're a fool who thinks he's a bright bulb. very sad. many such cases
>>695430543I'll explain it in very simplistic terms for you: you are criticizing the intelligence of the poster by calling them a retard while simultaneously being objectively wrong in the first place, showing a lack basic understanding of the topic at hand. i.e. criticizing others for bad qualities that you yourself possess. hope that helps
>>695430794>objectively wrongNo one who uses this term is in any position to lecture me on anything. If you have to inject some false intellectual gravitas into your whining with the term "objectively", then you've already given up any semblance of a chance of being taken seriously.
>>695430535I tried to get through maybe 10 times then admitted defeat and started a game on normal as a warm-up to get used to the combat again then I'll go back and have another go.I'd forgotten just how pleasant the game is to play. Just jumping up a ledge and toobs grabbing the top and flinging herself over going "Tze!" is pure kino.
>>695430732>kpop posternta, and i don't care about the other contents of your post. but just letting you know that you should either go confine yourself to one of the 8 generals on /mu/ or kill yourself.
>>695429516>So, I get through all of this shit, go through the Death Star trench run, and I'm on the ground. Finally. Then because it's been years since I played, I die and have to do it again. All of it.lmao
>>695431083typical response of the improvident lackwit
>>695430124>don't fucking translate it in the first placeIt would have been fine had there been separate translations for the original japanese script and reworked/"localized" English script but unfortunately they decided to be lazy bastards and just not bother, forcing the inferior English script down your throat regardless of what language you play in.
>>695431348im not the person you were arguing with nor do i care about either of your arguments. but you kpop shitters are a blight on this earth.
>>695429516>that can be seen literally 3 seconds before it actually dischargesstopped reading there, three seconds is more than enough time to react to a deathray.
>>695430943Yeah, the game is really fun to play. I never minded playing the tutorial over and over. I'm not sure I could say the same with any other game.
>>695429516>can't beat tutorial>gets mad
>>695429516No one care about this garbage other than 2b ass
>>695435395Millions of people bought it for the ass but stayed for the story.
>>695429516>Then because it's been years since I played, I die and have to do it again. All of it.git gud, imagine still getting filtered by the tutorial after already having played the game on easier modes, getting angery, then making a blogpost on veeee about why the game is bad
>>695429516Is it weird that if don't like a game, however praised it was by everyone, I just stop playing
>>695430197The combat is some of the best in the gaming medium.But Taro made a design decision to make Easy and Normal piss easy, playable with 2 buttons and accessible for everyone to get into the story. Persevering despite dying like a retard on Hard and Very Hard, as the difficulty spike is autistic, will teach you what Platinum really designed the combat to be like, and it's phenomenal when it clicks.
>>695430705>making it an rpg with all the stats and leveling was kind of meh and turns a lot of the fights into slogs of wailing on an enemy with a big ol health pool.This. Fucking "stylish" action games SHOULD NOT have RPG element (leveling, stats, etc) at best it should just be upgradeable weapon/side weapon and unlocking skills, that's it. Mind you I still like this game, but pretty much why I can't treat it as an action game similar to MGR or Bayo.
>>695436662Arguably, with any build that isn't half healing chips, enemies don't have large health pools.
>>695432336If you had played the game, you would know that those squadmates' deaths are scripted.
>>695436090No. That's what I did. But I thought to myself, maybe I might be missing something. Turns out I wasn't.
>>695429516You made this thread to bitch about dying in the tutorial?
WHOA YOU DIED AT THE TUTORIAL,THAT MEANS THIS GAME IS A 2/10 AND WE ARE ALL PRETENDING TO ENJOY IT
>Play game on hard.>Get upset that it's hard.
>>695429516i bought this game a while ago and haven't played it yet is it any good
>>695437071I love Doom and don't like nu-Doom. I gave the game plenty of tries. I read multiple reviews praising it to high heavens (sometimes even on /v/) and I don't understand at all. But that's it. I don't act like everyone is wrong or delusional. I just accepted that I thought the game was shit and everyone doesn't agree with me. And I definitely didn't make a whole thread complaining about how stupid the game is. That's just sad and pathetic.
>>695429516because we have tasteand you don'tnow I want each and every one of you r/gcj fags to reply to this post so I know how many of you I triggered ;)
>>695436271>The combat is some of the best in the gaming medium.no. they basically took bayo combat and stuck it in the game. bayo is good, but it runs against the rest of the design of the game in automata. there also is no reason that the drones should be as strong as they are and have infinite ammo. and the point of enemy variety still stands, for such a massive map and such a long story that you have to play multiple times, it has less variety in the enemies than bayo which should run you just a little bit over 12 hours to complete. also, 9S' hacking attack is also meh. if i wanted to play geometry wars, i would do that, i wouldn't pause my action game every two seconds to spend a few seconds playing a twinstick shooter. it isn't even like there is a proper flow to when you should or should not hack. you basically just hack. but again, i still like the game, it just isn't a top of all time and the actual "game" isn't that fun when compared with its contemporaries.>>695436751the point is that is the only way they make things more challenging. it isn't like there's new enemy types or even reskinned enemies with new movesets. increasing the difficulty is very much the "inflate enemy attack and health values" and that is all. i just get punished harder for mistakes, i don't actually have to learn more complex play patterns to deal with the higher difficulty.>>695436662it works in strangers of paradise. there's lots of stat upgrade stuff in that, but i guess jack technically doesn't have a level himself, it is all in the level of the armor he wears and the level of his job.
i really want to play this but i'm just so used to high fps games lately that it feels fucking miserable to be stuck at 60fps. i hate japs so goddamn much its absolutely fucking unrealcan replicant be fps unlocked?
>>695437462You don't have taste, you have ADD. They clearly couldn't figure out what style of game they wanted to make, so they just packed 5 different genres into the game.
>>695437243Yes.
>>695437124He probably wouldn't be so pissed if he actually had the option of saving the game so he didn't have to go through the galaga/gundam portion again. Talk about a shitty design decision.
>>695437419>I don't act like everyone is wrong or delusional.Lol. Yes you do. Maybe not about this, but you wouldn't be on this site otherwise, anon. You're not fooling anyone.
I really like the end credits gimmick.Main story was self-fellating horseshit though.
>>695438863What about it was self-fellating? I thought it was a pretty well done message about how worship and mindless imitation leads to disastrous results.
how do you not get it? the game is only good because of 2b
>>695429516i like the game because the female has a large ass
>>695439673yeah
>>695439120The developers were clearly very impressed with their own deep thoughts. If you can't see that, then you are probably also very impressed with your own deep thoughts.
>>695439706omg, this is like the slow kid version of DMC 3. This is horrible.
>>695441060>The developers were clearly very impressed with their own deep thoughts
>>695429516I thought the story had a cool setting and some intriguing themes, but the writing was shockingly mediocre, it really says a lot when the only character I actually gave a shit about in this is a robot with a cute voice.
>>695429516yeah this game is trash.it has terrible shallow combat, terrible mechanics with no thought put into them.Platinums code and the RPG shit are in direct conflict with each other. There are so many glitches and Finishers are so fucking buggy they were never programed correctly.They were so badly programed, they disappear entire from the game after you level up a bit.all the scripted movie game bullshit whilst the plot is so fucking far up it's own ass is a joke because of how sloppy and badly made the game is and how stupid the plot actually is.
bait used to be believable anon(_y_o_u_) status: denied
>>695439706>Does a grounded standing animation in mid air.do you think this fucking garbage looks good? because it's indicative of terrible programing.
