Chapter select, just pick the other person to fight as. For Chapter E, I'll let you figure that out, but just know this... Don't give up.
Judging by the reactions here, if they don't change it, they'll sooner break their discs lmao

I only died in the prologue once, on purpose for the ending. But that was on normal, I knew better than to try it on hard.

Ben's review is really spot on. The game offers a kind of story that rarely exists outside of batshit video games.

Having a problem and need some help, bros
After the opening/tutorial mission, the white screen fades to 2B looking out one of the space station windows and she goes to meet 9S.
After their conversation, things seem to be broken. I go see the Commander and she says this to me:
I have not held any conversation with her prior, nor have I been in the room since "reboot". I've looked at some Youtube videos and there is supposed to be a crowd of these android people to the right off the elevator and a marker over the Commander. I see none of that, as pictured here:
When I go to look at the Intel station in 2B's (or anyone's) room, I see this, which looks glitched.
Even scanning through the menu I can hear 2B doing attacks as if the game isn't recognizing that I'm in the menu system. Sometimes I'm unable to close the menu at all and am forced to reboot.
The Quests are all greyed out, as shown here:
When I go to the Hangar, nothing happens on any pads (where it looks like something is supposed to happen). It looks like this:
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've restarted the game from the beginning and been wandering around the station trying to figure out if I've done something wrong for more than an hour.
Please help.

Why is motherbase the first tutorial boss?

There is a little line in there somewhere regarding the map.

Stamp quest was awesome, lol.
In the resistance camp, robot-head people will tell you about the map and how people complain about it.

Okay I'll grant you it sucks to die in the opening but this might be a bit much for 30 minutes of content at most.

someone please look my way.
Pretty weird bug. You're supposed to meet 9S and it's supposed to cut to the cinematic where you get some background information on the machine war. Did you not get that?
I think you just ran into a shitty scripting bug, fam.
From the end of the boss, 2B is on the Bunker as you said. You talk to 9S and thank him for helping you. Then it cuts to some background story stuff and you do a settings tutorial (adjust brightness and stuff). After, you get up and you should have an objective marker pointing you towards the commander and then pointing you to the hanger afterwards. There should definitely be people up in that room with the commander and those intel stations in all the other rooms should be shops.
You say you've gone though the prologue twice now and still have this issue? Have you tried verifying game files?
I refuse.

Not only is the map kind of difficult to parse - which the game acknowledges, but even just controlling it feels a bit wonky. On the one hand, I like game maps that let you hit a button to toggle between levels, but I realised Automata couldn't do that effectively and I began to appreciate the degree of verticality in the world.
It's still annoying sometimes, though.
I was doing some delicate jumping at one point and 9S knocked me off the edge! So when I was fishing and he fell into some deep water, I felt a sense of satisfaction.
Honestly, the companion AI is a bit... weird at times. During some of the later (sidequest spoilers?)

Oh baby, if this is true, I'll be ecstatic.
I just beat route A and I really liked it.
The only thing I didn't like was.
The only thing I didn't like was.
As soon as you enter the abandon factory with Pascal, the game is basically over. I did not come prepared for that and basically ended up having to beat the last 2 goliath machines plus all of Eve with no chips, recovery items and playing on hard. I was level 31 and basically everything was killing me in one hit. I refused to give in though and switch the difficulty. It was really frustrating, but it says a lot about the game that I kept at it and continued.
Also I spent so long on the abandoned factory boss that I can't get "BECOME A GOD" out of my head.

It's soooo good.
Still early due to all these games and lack of time but they're really nailing the story, characters and artstyle, combat, stunning music, and dub already.
What an amazing run of games we're in.
I spent like ten minutes trying to get a good shot up here while he kept falling off and jumping back on, and repeating that process indefinitely until I moved away.
I'm now left with multiple shots featuring him flailing around like an idiot in the background.
He also keeps screwing up my sick cinematic finishing move thingies. Keep having to put him into passive mode. I'm starting to enjoy hating him.

Just started it and got past the intro. Ballsy to lock saving until after it haha. I played the demo so I was expecting what was coming. Found it a bit tougher than the demo but no deaths. I'm not very good at Platinum games though, hopefully this is the one to hook me in to it and get me good.
The settings bit was really cute. I was thinking beforehand that I didn't really need to know the back story but now I'm really interested in it.

Keep going. You won't regret it.°°ToMmY°°;232278424 said:
After beating the tutorial (again) I haven't died since and it's actually easy. Just had to figure out all the controls since they explain jack shit.
How do you change outfits, couldn't find it anywhere. I just
if it's a story thing. But it shouldn't be right?

I've heard that the third play through is right up there with the best games. I guess some story elements change or open up. I love replayability like that

While my lukewarm reaction to this game continues, this was entirely worth doing for the Romeo and Juliet production.

It's possible without the forward fling. First make sure that you reach max sprint speed. Then jump off and do an air dash followed by a double jump. Then hold on to your pod and do the upward spin kick. Finish by doing a three part light attack combo with a small sword which should move you forward just far enough to grab onto the ledge.
At least I'm pretty sure that is how I did it (I didn't know about the pod forward fling move).

I played a bit of the original Nier but...I don't remember much of it also bounced off it pretty quickly. Although, after playing Automata I'm almost wanting to give the other one another shot again.

My legit expression after finishing the first non-prologue boss:
My legit expression after finishing the second boss:
Taro normally holds some of the crazy for the end, but nope, we're going all out from the beginning, folks! I'm loving it, though a little traumatized, and getting super paranoid at anything that hints at Drakengard or Nier. It's impressive that Automata has two of the most memorable boss fights I've experienced in years, one after the other. They were both certainly very, er, unexpected. Some of my other favorites it recent years have been the Bayonetta 2/Bloodborne boss battles, but they did start to blur together a bit in retrospect, due to the areas/art direction. Automata's bosses thus far have been very distinct from each, in both design, areas, and the content of the boss fights themselves. I hope the rest of the bosses keep it up! It's so wonderful to see evolution on some of the style ideas from Nier, just now feeling a lot more enjoyable and playable thanks to that Platinum polish - also a minutely bigger budget!
I'm a bit stumped what to do, because Normal is pretty straightforward, and that's still with me avoiding plug-in chips and summoning allies. On the other hand, the only time I've died thus far was when I put the difficulty on Hard, and I was a bit shocked to die from one hit to admittedly a mini-boss when I was at 90% health. (It was a long trek back, too, ow.) Er, I guess the solution is to use plug-in chips/allies on Hard. My awe and commendations for those braving Very Hard. HOW. I was hoping 'Hard' would be an genuine satisfying in-between for 'Normal' and 'Very Hard', as opposed to Hard equalling 'Very Hard', and Very Hard equalling 'Taro and Taura want your lick your tears as they consume your soul'. Ah, well, will do some experimenting.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that they were doing something else while it was on the setting screen so the recording just went on and on with nothing happening
Play on Normal/Easy if you aren't already to get through it quickly. Enjoy.
