Are Nier games as good as they're famous or that's mostly due to just everyone beating it to 2B's ass? No, I will not play Drakengard before.

They're pretty flawed but also so full of soul it's unreal.

They are actually good, and extremely memorable. A clear example of something being better than the sum of its parts.

Every modern game aimed at blacks or americans

They are honestly EXCELLENT, profound and emotional masterpieces.

And I say this as a relative nufag fan, who was about to skip N:A completely, because the nonstop off-brand r34 smut-posting made it seem like a literal porn game.

BOY am I glad that I noticed the actual fans talk about the game's themes and story in a similar hush-hush manner we oldschool Silent Hill fans used to do it, as that sparked my curiosity.
The final push was my dear friend's personal recommendation. He's a PC-only masterrace, and does not play random "weeb shit", so I knew something big was cooking with this game.

And the wild ride did NOT disappoint, one bit.
It was a huge positive surprise that such magnificent, engaging and soul-full games could still be made this day and age. Released by a declining 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. I'm not ashamed to admit that the ending made my eyes tear up... and just hearing the iconic tune still moves me a great deal.

As if that wasn't enough of praise already, the visual-design is simply gorgeous, and OST is drop-dead beautiful. One of the best soundtracks in gaming history, bar none!
After beating the game a couple times, I literally hunted down the OG NieR game and all the Drakengard games, and played them one by one. In hindsight, I can't believe I slept on these gems.

Obviously, for fans of the DrakeNier series, Automata was a treat. I dare to say it's one of the best SEQUELS in gaming history too; outright "Terminator 2" level.

I liked first Nier better than Automata.
>>
>>748924013
Don't care about the other games.
Automata IS that good.
Never fapped to any of the characters.

The combat is also great. Sandbox style but """easier""" than DMC but it's a "you make your difficulty" kinda game.
If you have no brain and just want to mash, you can. If you want to think about your tools to create complex combos, you can.

Pretentious slop

It's my favorite game. So I think it's pretty good. Going to the orchestra next year

They're good yes. The drakengard connection is neat if you know the details but not all that important to the plot itself.
>>
>>748924013
1 is terrible with no redeeming qualities aside from the music, Automata has alright gameplay because it wasn't done by Taro, and the music is good too.
Taro is a giga, hyper, uber hack and him now being involved with Eva is a match made in Shamayim.
