It is.
I had to watch myself adjust the brightness twice, haha.

This ended up being a pain in the ass for me
because I paused during this process so I could tweet and chat about how cool it was that you could tease 9S during setup.
I had to wait like, ten minutes of staring at a (as far as I know, I tried every button I could think of) unskippable menu screen.

Yeah i watched myself trying to put the self-destruct option on off to go through all the dialogues 
Hilarious.
Now you know, don't tweet while you're doing more important stuff like playing vidya games!

Looks like we're at the same spot. I'm gonna stop for tonight, gotta play Persona 5.
Route B was ok up until
post whale boss. Those revelations, and taking control of those robots was awesome.
Yea I did it all in one sitting because people made it seem like it'd be the most tedious one. Which it was I suppose, but frankly I overall really enjoyed it, including all the hacking elements​. And yea, past that part shit got even better.

Part of what keeps B good is the satisfaction of opening all those locked doors and chests you had to just walk past on A.

While we're waiting on Jim & EZA's reviews, I figured I'd give an update on how it's faring.
COGconnected & the appropriately named We Got This Covered have given the game a 90 and 100 each, bringing the unweighted average up to 89.6034.
Assuming perfect scores from both Jim & EZA, that becomes 89.95. (Unweighted)

I guess the lesson here is to be a junkie and you'll live to see another century.

How long is route C? Are the other endings worth doing?
Thread's not quite at its final form yet when the PC players aren't here. I'll be getting it on the PC too, though.

9S just talked about that Jean Paul guy and there was a "beep" sound, like something was censored.
Was that intentional, or really censored?
Playing with english dub.

Masked Man
I said wow
He's Sartre in JP, as well as in the EN version on the JP disc. My guess is they found out late in development they weren't allowed to say "Sartre" in overseas markets for legal reasons, so beeping it out was the quickest, cheekiest option they had.

I'm on Route B myself, but you have to get at least endings A through E, to completely finish the game.
From the side endings I've gotten K, T and U thus far, and all of them have been joke endings.

The game just crashed super crazy.
My character stucked / freezed in different positions, after jumping, running and attacking. Then it freezed completely and kicked me into the home screen, after like 20 more seconds.
Playing on the PRO.
Edit: Damn, lost over an hour of playtime.

This game has a Pro mode, Boost does nothing either way.

Playing on the PS4 Pro without boost mode, and there is a lot of stuttering. Especially when sprinting around the world. The Pro is getting pretty loud very often.

Route B late-game -
Definitely just saw hologram chick again while boarding to fly down to Earth to stop Eve, lol. Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when Adam and Eve disappeared from the Alien ship and the hologram appeared for a split second.
I don't think you guys understand how Boost Mode works - it only applies to non-Pro patched games. It wouldn't work with Automata anyway.
Need some help on what I think is towards the end of Route A
The resistance camp was just raided by the machines and I am doing the boss battle immediately after when the goliath turns into Eve. I didn't have quite enough recovery items to get through it on first try and it doesn't seem like if I reload from the point after clearing out the camp of all machines that there's any way to purchase any more items. Am I completely fucked or am I missing a way to acquire more?

You might be able to warp to the Bunker? Honestly not sure.
Fast travel is disabled and I'm already in the village...
Doesn't Anemone sell you stuff at that point? She did for me. Talk to her.
Dammit, as much as I loved GR2, go with Nier first.

Route B end -
Who the fuuuuuuuuuck are these holograms when the crying scene is taking place? Are they the pods? They both looks kinda unisex, when the pods have different 'genders' for their voices. but...hmmmm
Buy Nier, then those other two games

elevator key you got from completing Emil's quest?
Spoiler-question regarding the music, can I expect OG tunes aside from
on the way to Ending E?
Song of the Ancients and Emil
I put it down a difficulty notch from normal to easy, made it less of a chore.
If you can remember where the 3rd Speed Star race ends, there's a pipe you can jump to from that building. Elevator is in there. It's actually a sizeable area.

I know how it works, but I don't see a way to determine if a game is "pro patched" or not.
I'm pretty sure every game released since the pro launched has to have a pro patch , so it should be in their automatically .
