Nier Automata or Stellar Blade?
>>
both are shit but I recon stellar blade is worse
>>
I only play nier but I really liked it. bit of a time commitment though because you have to beat it like 4 times to get the full story
>>
>>738859442
Nier Automata is just a better game. Everyone should enjoy it more than Stellar Blade unless they don't like white hair.
Stellar Blade works better as like the Sekiro "worthy challenge" game where you can crank the difficulty and see combat as an obstacle to overcome. Nier Automata is generally way too easy, except on the highest difficulty which is a meme mode.
>>
>>738859442
nier
it just has more stuff in it
gameplay is more mashy, though
>>
>>738859442
Both are shit but nier has better story and characters than stellar blade, even though both are nonsense jap magic bullshit, Stellar blade story and characters feel like mmo trash
>>
>>738859631
You only have to replay the game once as 9S, and you still get plenty of new parts in his playthrough
>>
>>738859442
I love nier. I tried the stellar blade demo and didn't care for it, I thought it was going to be a hack n slash not a souls like
>>
>>738859790
It was stupid of them to have any parts repeated in the post game, especially as a character who plays mostly like 2B but not as fun. The repeated parts are over fast, though, and there's plenty of unique 9S shit instead of just the same game again.
>>
>>738859442
Nier Automata if you prefer
>Gameplay variety
>Deep and complex storyline + bonus lore out of game
>weapon and combat variety

Stellar Blade if you like
>Exploration/collect a thons
>Non gameplay unlockables(outfits photomode stuff etc)
>Easily digestible story

SB has a more shallow combat system but is still fun. It has a wider enemy variety too but I don't think people generally care about that, especially considering they reuse bosses but make them harder. Nier is an unironic 10/10 but Yoko Taro had a decade of experience making games. This was Kim Hyung-taes first non mobile game, and for the price point it's decent. Solid 8/10 SB2 will be a near masterpiece with some gameplay additions.
>>
>>738859442
I found the story in automata really boring, and while you could do a lot of stuff with the fighting mechanics and the upgrade system, no enemy or boss really makes use of it.
Stellar blade had a more interesting story and characters, and the encounter design is both more interesting and fun.
>>
>>738859442
stellar its a nier automata but well made
>>
>>738859442
Nier Automata was shit and poorly optimized when I played. Stellar Blade demo was nice and well optimized and she has 2B skin iirc so I assume it's better.
>>
Nier Automata is objectively the better game. You have to bee a seething gook to say otherwise.

Nier automata. People sleep on the soundtrack for whatever reason.

>>738860421
>Stellar blade had a more interesting story and characters
Must be the dumbest thing i've ever heard, i didn't like tomato much, only done with 1 ending and the rest are youtube. And the story still mile ahead of SB from start to end, Eve is the worst character in SB too
>>
After some time I found music in SB more repetative.
But so far it seems to be harder than NA.

Nta but people are allowed to have opinions. I think it's fine if people liked SBs story and characters more. Inplaued in Korean personally I'm not sure what language VA you're complaining about but her voice was fine to me.
>>
>>738859442
Stellar blade is dogshit
>>
>>738861721
KR voice, goddamn her voice is annoying as shit, trying too hard to be high pitched like anime character. SB eng dub is totally fucking amateur dog shit and i like to play video game in their original language
>>
>>738859442
Stellar Blade is more hopeful, while Nier is more melancholic and depressing in its atmosphere.
>>
Stellar Blade is a better video game.
>>
>>738861439
As opposed to what? Stellar blade had a simple, effective story that is classic. No weird bullshit. In automata you spend 80% of the game going to random places just because the game is a themepark (you go to the circus fair and accomplish nothing because its just filler, like most of the game). They also like giving philosophers names to characters, but then do nothing with it? There are some neat and cool moments, but overall the story and characters are just there to move the plot. Theres nothing in stellar blade like when you hack A2 with 9S, but that doesn't make the rest of the game fun, most combat encounters in automata are also pretty boring, whereas in stellar blade you have to pay attention to every move of every enemy, not to mention most bosses can kill you with 3 or 4 hits (at least in hard)

Doesn't mean anything when the Narrative is drier than my granpa anus, boring, zero personality main characters (oh but she like fucking cans teehee) and annoying side characters, sucky suck dialogues make me think of shitty mmo quest giver

Why not both?

Stellar Blade is a sad, pale imitation of Nier:Automata.
N:A is actually interesting, while SB is literally just boobies and ass, and not even done very tastefully.

Stellar Blade is the porn parody version of Automata. Whether you think that's a good or bad thing is up to you

Well, in SB there are 2 ending when Eve fused with Adam to become literal transhumanoid
>>
>>738860314
>SB has a more shallow combat system
I think this is definitely true on normal difficulty, which was the only choice for the first year or so after release with hard locked to NG+.
But now that you can play hard on NG it really is a challenge that forces you to use all the skills and git gud

Stellar blade is basically an american version of automata with focus on nigger asses, basically its nier automata but aimed at blacks and americans.
Nier automata is an actual game amed at everyone

>>738859442
They both lose to Jamal anyway.
>>
>>738867756
I tried hard mode at the start for a bit and it was fucking stupid. Normal attacks did no damage but the parry one-shotted everything. There was no point in doing normal attacks, just wait for enemies to attack and parry them
Maybe it gets better later, but it really turned me off at the start
>>
I thinks both games are shit but SB at least has fanservice.

Dropped automata after having to replay the same exact shit as the twink, neither the "I'm 12 and this is deep" story nor the brainless button mashy combat gripped me enough to suffer through it further
Finished Stellar Blade and had lots of fun with the combat, wouldn't have played it just for the coom. Story was not great not terrible, but could use more charismatic characters including Eve herself.

You're still really limited in options. SB 2 needs more weapons abilities and forms
>>738870369
There's 5 different weapon archtypes iirc, each weapon has unique strings, you can build around playing as a bullet hell tps, you can build for your special, you have hacking, 2d side scroller combat and 3 unique characters to play as. What else do you want?
>>
>>738867773
that's not the PiP mod though
>>
>>738860095
Game gives you new quests or the opportunity to finish quests you didn't finish in the first play through and it's open world, not only that but the enemies increase in complexity and difficulty each run so to call it replaying the game 4 times is as disingenuous as you can get fucking kill yourself.
>>

Nier has better story but the gameplay progression is worse. If you do any side quests in Nier, you become so strong that the rest of the game becomes a cake walk. While in Stellar Blade, even with a maxed out skill tree, the few ending bosses are still challenging and fun to fight.

stellar blade is the kind of game that would've benefited more from an actual post-game with free roam instead of ng+. if anyone plays past the credits they're doing it for costumes, and forcing that behind multiple playthroughs in the same chests is lazy. it's probably my chief concern for the sequel.

Save hard mode for NG+. It's not balanced for the first playthrough.
Maybe try to switch from normal to hard mode once you have most skills and decent gear, once you get into matrix11 map if not later, to test if it's doable.

Stellar Blade has better gameplay by leaps and bounds.
It also has better coom. And the story isn't pretentious garbage that doesn't actually say anything.

All Nier has on it is a better soundtrack, but Stellar Blade's soundtrack is pretty good too, so, yeah. Stellar Blade clears.

Yeah, and in the meantime bosses can all kill you in 3-4 hits
That's what all difficulty is, survive long enough to land enough hits
Higher difficulty -> you have to survive for longer

you equate difficulty with how long it takes you to kill something? what's your first video game, world of warcraft? what about new enemy moves, new types of enemies, WHATEVER else other than just giving them a billion hit points? do you not value your time?
>>
>>738881067
bosses are more aggressive and use attacks exclusive to hard difficulty, it's not just a damage/health increase. playing the boss arena mode immediately proves this to be true
>>
>>738881753
I guarantee you did not beat Raven on hard on NG
>>
>>738881820
unfortunately this isnt wukong (a slightly better game) where the accent is put on bosses, as there are a billion items to pick up around the mape and 2 billion enemies guarding them, forcing you to spend literally a couple of minutes fighting every regular enemy if you're playing on hard because they also take no damage

Weird how you can play Skyrim by pounding your forehead against a keyboard not caring which keys get pressed, and then the game seems repetitive because you just did the same thing the entire playtime. Nier Automata has a varied moveset with attacks that can prompt different hit reactions from the enemy, the ability to make the pod attack while you're doing other shit, universal options for 2B including swinging off the pod and parrying and attack canceling to attack faster if you're willing to press more buttons. I guess if you just stuck the controller in your mouth every fight and didn't look at the screen while biting square, you wouldn't notice.
