NieR: Automata |OT| "I wouldn't expect too much from this game if I were you."

What happened now? LOL
You know, at first I didn't really believe the OST could top the original game, but like I think it has and i'm only 10% into the game. Every single song is memorable and on point. In a year with great soundtracks like Horizon, Gravity Rush 2, and Nioh.
Okabe is on another level when he puts in the effort.

I think Nier might have higher highs than Automata, but I think there are more quality songs as a whole in Automata.
I agree. I've been listening to it while at work. haven't had much time to play the game, so I'm listening to them out of context and some are just amazing.
"Weight of the World" is a more casual song, but just hits all the same emotions in the game.
Ahhh there is more things for you to experience Satch. Just wait and see.

No prob. That should actually be put into the OP since ive seen a few people asking about this. It may need to be downloaded and applied before the game is launched or something.

Why? I loved it.
I spent a long time on it on Hard mode. Not very fun.

Cleared it first try on hard mode, and I don't consider myself anything special at action games. What chips did you have?
It may just be me having a melee defense +6 chip and a good supply of recovery items though.
Yeah, that's probably why. I didn't have any defense chips, so I was getting one shotted by everything. Next boss was even worse since I somehow bugged him which made the stubbies spawn infinitely even at the beginning of the fight.

I got through Ending D last night. Gotta go back and grab Ending C so I can finally see Ending E!

It gets the crit effect, and crits are ridiculously OP. They do 5x damage.
Once you get your hands on Fang of the Twins, it is strictly suboptimal to ever let it go.

Crits do 5x damage?! Damn! Guess I'll be adding that crit up chip to my max attack build.

Question about sidequests. endings, routes and all that.
Not too far in the game I think, just beat the boss at the
So the game opened up with sidequests it looks like because there's red dots everywhere. Are they timed? Like, will some go away if I advance the story?
Can I do these sidequests on another route or whatever?

Yup. Fang of the Twins is the only reason I was able to retain a shred of sanity finishing

I don't know what the DPS is like compared to just hammering away with something like the spear-greatsword combo, but stacking charge attack chips and critting on the last hit of a charge attack is probably the most damage you can do in the game. Super satisfying.

Later you will get a chapter select, so don't worry. Finished it today till the true ending. What a great game, was fun all around.

I liked the variety, the change of camera or the music transitions, also the neat mini games.

This is sounding really good. Can't wait to do one hit kill vids for bosses or whatever, lol.

How do I get back the auto item chip? It was working fine, then I optimized my chip set, and I can't find it anywhere.
For people who rush, it's right. Don't even worry about the length. Because you'll be having fun with a lot of other stuff than worrying about playtime length.

You have plenty to go, don't worry.
I've only fought the second boss too, the
opera/dancer one
yeah, the music is also so good... I love the music in this game
aight cool. Loving every second (aside from the framerate, holy shit it's bad) and don't want it to end!

The 30 minute one is a LOT of information crammed into just a little bit of space.
Check out the Clemps Analyses in the OP, much better, if you've got the time.
oh damn... I wish I would've seen that during my spring break. Oh well, i'll watch them all eventually but it might take me some time
Thanks for the info!!

I think Boost Mode is for games that don't have Pro support which was why Bloodborne was somewhat effected by it.
I'm on the beta though so that may change with the full release.

I'll never stop saying it, the less you know the less questions you have. The entire game is a mindfuck (so far) if you know the drakengardverse. It might actually be better to look into the previous stuff after you finish with automata.

Finally started. I had to free up some drive space (sorry DooM). Kind of disappointed in myself though. I kept getting bodied on hard and eventually dropped down to normal.
Though ending W was amusing, at least the first time. Oh and is it me or does the game punish you for trying to continue by throwing random things at you?
