It shouldn't last that long and also rarely happens, should probably restart.

My friend was thinking about selling his 2B figure (He bought the LE for the fucking steel book of all things) so I said I'd take it off his hands and he told me he wanted $200. Woulda slapped him if we weren't talking on discord. Apparently that's what the listings are for on eBay. Who the fuck is gonna buy it for that price when there's already another one announced that's gonna cost less and undoubtedly be ten times better looking.
Also no friend discount?
Yes but its smaller and more confined than other open worlds, it works to the game's design.
That's par the course for YT...Nier was the same IMO, and even Drakengard to an extent
Drakengard itself is basically berserk meets end of evangelion to start with
Buy animal bait.
Use bait near animal
Animal will stand there to eat, you hop on.

Oh ok, thanks a lot
No problem!
Near the big chasm in the city there was an all white albino moose in my game.
If you ride one, make it that one.
Gotta ride the most majesticlooking one lol
You get that room after you beat the game.

I think I'm still early in, but I'm already drawing a lot of parallels, so I could see that.
That's not too surprising! I love it. He seems to have taken the right lessons from EVA. Automata is gloomy and contemplative and weird without reservation.

OK I just played the demo and loved what I played and I'm ready to pull the trigger but I have a question. I've seen people on here with playthroughs of around 10 hrs. I know the game has multiple endings but does the game change each time you play to make it fresh?
I haven't seen it anywhere else, but the GameFAQs boards are on a whole fucking other level when it came to this kind of shit, so you may want to peek over there for a pretty good example of what they're talking about.
Yes.

Gotcha, welp I will just reinstall the game on my pro. I had a "loading map" after that. Which never did load so I just closed the game.
Thanks! Glad I was able to show you guys
The steam community forums are full of that shit

There's more than enough new content to make the one similar playthrough (Route B) fresh on its own, but past that one route, the other routes are completely new content.

Yes. New story beats, cutscenes, set pieces,mechanics, everything really.
Think of it as one whole game split up into 'acts'.

To be fair though, I also kinda thought she was sweetest on 2B.
She might be. Like I mentioned above, I'm still pretty early in.
I also notice the majority of YorHa is female, so there's bound to be some lesbians.

Got started playing, made it
. Games pretty fun. I decided to play through on Normal since this isn't my usual kind of game, and I've only died twice for stupid reasons--the first was because I didn't realize you don't by default have auto-heal, and the second was from a boar that charged me for like 1/2 my HP and I panicked. I do understand why people love the soundtrack, it seems to fit every part of the game perfectly, and overall is one of the better soundtracks I've heard. The character animations in combat surprise me, it always seems very fluid--I imagine this is Platinum Games doing--and even though things quickly can get chaotic it's fairly easy to follow what's happening. Overall I'm enjoying it, not sure it's 9+/10 yet, but I haven't even scratched the surface.
So far I've learned that Dodging is the most powerful ability in the game, bar none.
to the resistance camp and then through the part where you fight the (first) humanoid machine

She's on the second level of the command room in the bunker, on the right hand side as you enter.

get the nier piano collections. I have that as well as those two. Fucking incredible.
I skipped the Nier remixes though. But honestly I may get it to complete the set

so how are the voices for the game? should i go english or japanese?
They are both really good honestly.
Welp, I'll go say hi later lmao
Both are amazing, but I've heard people say that the Japanese dub can make you occasionally miss out on banter when fighting or w/e, so go with English imo
I'd go with Japanese because the English portrayal of 2B feels a bit too rough, I feel. That may be due to the localization, though. Ishikawa's 2B is a lot softer (and cuter).
