JUST STARTED THIS GAME ON HARD AND IM GETTING MY SHIT ROCKED. HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GET ANYWHERE WHEN IT SENDS ME BACK TO THE BEGINNING EVERYTIME!
>>731061095git gud fag
Nigga how this is the easiest game in existence just press the attack button
PLAY IT ON NORMAL YOU FUCKING BRAGGART BITCH
>>731061095Hard is a meme difficulty in Automata. It's a story game with sparse checkpoints and fucking everything one shots you on hard. Just play on normal like everyone else, then bump it up to hard when your gear is too good.
HAHAHHAHAHNAAH
>>731061254FUCK YOU>>731061261WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THERE'S PROJECTILES COMING OUT OF MY ASS THAT NUKE YOU YOU CANT BREAK EASY!>>731061367BUT I THOUGHT I COULD DO IT>>731061369WHY DID THEY MAKE IT LIKE THAT?
>>731061095dodge you have bayonetta witch time
>playing Nier Automata hard mode on your first playthroughRookie mistake
>>731061095The intro is meant to be punishing. You have two options. Git gud, or switch it to normal until you clear the intro and hit a save pointThere is no reward/punishment/achievements for difficulty, it's one of those games where the beginning is harder but if you know how to play you will get overpowered mid game from getting op chips.Difficulty isn't rewarding either, it's just, enemy has more health/enemy hits harder, and the gap between normal to hard is stupid, there should have been something between those two.
>>731061095You should play on easy or medium. I myself is a hardcore gaymer who beat ng on hard, completed all souls and er on lv1, beat SMT on hard, 100% both nioh but I can't force myself to play this shitty game even on medium, it's just annoying. It's like playing call of duty on hard, why? Game has god tier atmosphere, OST, characters designs but the gameplay is awful.
Just skip it and listen to the OST, there's nothing worthwhile about the game itself.
>>731061828Every Hardcore gamer I've ever known was a tasteless faggot. Glad to see you aren't bucking trends.>>731061863Just another garbage opinion on /v/
>>731061453you have to get the chip for it, OP isn't making it past the prologue section
I have no idea why they thought the intro having no checkpoints was a good idea especially when you got to deal with unskippable cutscenes and dialogue at the beginning.
>>731061732it does change enemy behaviour
>>731061095It's the kind of game where you switch to hard if enemies die too quickly otherwise, like Skyrim.
>>731061095>>731061419Hard mode is ACTUALLY HARD in Nier, unlike in your casual iPhone era trash. Shows that you've never played a single vidya made pre-2007.So yeah, start with Normal, or seriuosly git gud.>THERE'S PROJECTILES COMING OUT OF MY ASSYou can literally dodge all of them.>WHY DID THEY MAKE IT LIKE THAT?To filter ADHD people like (You) and to push a point. It's honestly very effective.>>731062502>I have no idea why they thought the intro having no checkpoints was a good ideaIt was a GREAT idea, and I am not joking here.Fuck faggy auto-save BS and fuck the zoomer toddlers pushing that trash.>>731061863Nier Automata belongs in the hall of fame alongside with a number of other greatest games of all times. It was a huge, positive surprise, that such a magnificent, engaging and soul-filled game could still be made this day and age. By an "AAA" studio at that.The gameplay is extremely fun and varied, and the game uses it to drive through its themes and ideas - which is exactly what this art-format requires.The story was curious and thought-provoking, though its the themes and message that were the most striking.Visual-design was gorgeous, and OST is drop-dead beautiful. For fans of the DrakeNier series, this game was a treat.
>>731062519Interesting, I honestly never noticed. Makes them more aggressive I'm guessing?
>>731063016If you're not baiting, the point of having no checkpoints is underminded with how after the intro, there are checkpoints you can save at.
>>731063016Really is one of a kind. The virus section at the start of route C was the perfect example of using gameplay to push the narrative and the feeling the devs were going for. I remember my first attempt as soon as i got out of the sewer from flooded city, 2b shorted mid jump, fell all the way to the caves, then when I climbed up the ladder I kept getting slapped around by machines I would normally kill so easily, of course i couldnt escape and died. It was so frustrating hopeless and depressing, exactly what that part of the story was going for. And it did it all just through gameplay.Nier Automata is truly one of the best.
>>731063298>the point of having no checkpoints is underminded with how after the intro, there are checkpoints you can save at.Yes - MANUAL save spots. Like Resident Evil or Silent Hill. Not auto-save type "checkpoints" like every other modern game.I honestly never knew that people would have such hard time with the TUTORIAL, but seeing how that can be the case, it perfectly plays into the game's meta-level subtext.
>>731063016>Nier Automata belongs in the hall of fame alongside with a number of other greatest games of all times.No it doesn't, it's mediocre in a lot of wayd and inferior to Nier, and you sperging out about it in every Automata thread won't change that.
>>731061095>nier automata>difficult or challenging in any difficultyKill yourself with your ragebait. DieNothing in that game was difficult. Enemies were bullet sponges that never did anything special at the highest difficulty but the way to beat them was the exact same, just longer. It required no focus, reactivity, nothing. Just negate all damage with the infinite dodge buttonI fucking hate you degenerate subhuman casual shitters movie watchers. Nier Automata is not an action game and never will be. >>>/a/>>>/tv/>>>/e/go there and stay there to watch your shitty jrpg play itself
>>731061095>play hard difficulty>the game is hardwoah...
>>731061095intro is the hardest part of the gamealso damage scaling sucks in this game so you start by hitting like a wet noodle but once you get better gear you end up killing bosses in 2-3 seconds even on hard. they don't even get to finish their monologue
>>731061095Nigga play it on normal like everyone else, that's the intended experience.
>>731063464Okay so why is there no manual checkpoint in the 30 minute long prologue with unskippable cutscenes and dialogue?
>>731065564taro thought it would be funny
>>731065564Because checkpoints are spare bodies and you don't get any in the prologue.
>>731065564think about the first line 2b says when you start up the game over. it'll make sense. bravo taro
Press attack and spam dash. Its brainless gameplay but pretty fun if you wanna turn your brain off
>>731063440Nta but that virus section was indeed nice organic gameplay with diegenic interface that feel like that what the character uses.
>>731064492>schizo seething wall of text>mindbroken by /a/like clockwork
Reply to this post with 2B goon fuel.
>>731061095Unironically the prologue is the hardest part because you don't have shit and have to start from the beginning every time. Get through that and you'll be good.
>>731061095this game is troll mode on hard. specially the beginning by sending you all the way back to the prologue. then later on it becomes ridiculously piss easy even on hard.as a whole its just really poorly balanced and having to constantly hold the button to shoot the robot on hard mode is also fucking ridiculous, you might as well tape that button down. how anyone can find any enjoyment in these nier games is beyond me. story sucks, characters are lame at and conbat is half assed. playing as the boy is unbearable with its shoot em up nini game.
>>731061731it's only hard in the opening section, because losing there is a meme ending
>>7310612611 hit ko then you gotta rewatch the whole cutscene
