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

Yes
I see, hmm guess I'll do that probably after Horizon, hopefully they're shorter.
XD
It's my first Nier/DKG game, didn't really like this design, make it 2 characters max or even 1 character in like 25 hours campaign, it'll be way better, so many people will stop playing when they see the credits, I may do that too, but gonna try to continue after Horizon.
I disagree, the ending structure is one of the things that make this franchise so unique
Have a couple questions about quests:
-The Wandering Couple, so they've been hiding near the resistance camp but there's no way to get to them. Do they just appear eventually or is there a way to get to them in order to finish the quest?
-The huge machine boss that is now wrecked in the City Ruins has a marker on its head, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing there?
-How do I get to the other side of the Forest Zone with the main objective? I can't figure it out
Thanks!

Are the different paths obvious?
Can you get the same ending twice?

- You'll get to them eventually as you progress through the story. They're not actually in the resistance camp, but in an area you haven't visited yet.
- To be honest, I have no idea on this one either.
- There should be a bridge (or a crossable gap, I'm not exactly sure how it's laid out at the moment) towards the end of that first half of the region. Just keep looking.
Thanks a lot!
I'm 6.5 hrs in and I'm getting a bit fustrated because I can't reach places to complete side quests. At which point does everything open up and I can go where I please?
I'm loving the game and the action is so good. Can't say the same for performance. Playing on the pro on a hotel 1080p TV and the stutters are pretty shitty

I'd say if you're into quirky action RPG games then yeah.

Without heavy spoilers(if possible), how do you get the true ending? I cant wait for this to release in America 
It probably won't be my GOTY, but it's the perfect game for diehard Yoko fans. Everything he has ever wanted to do is in full force with this game.
Platinum fans will probably be disappointed, but we need their money for a NieR remake so let's keep that fact quiet lol.

I wasn't a big fan of Drakengard 3, mostly due to the technical faults but also the story being underwhelming overall but honestly, it didn't sound to me like Taro was that into making D3....Square rejected like four different proposals and he was left with his last proposal (probably the one he wanted to do the least) with D3. So that explains how it turned out for me.
On another level though, this game definitely feels like a spiritual successor to NieR. I'm glad it isn't an exact copy of the original and both games get to stay unique and I'm thankful that Taro doesn't repeat his games, even between Drakengard 1and Drakengard 3 constrasted with NieR and NieR: Automata, just means it goes to show how diverse his portfolio is despite working on a lot of sequels.
In addition to the answer you already got: The machine you can talk to if you stand right underneath it and look up
Yes / Not accidentally at least.
Just play it and it'll come to you, trust me
If anybody is like me and doing the Heritage of the Past sidequest in the desert and does not actually want to run across the entire expanse, this video has places to look.

Do you need to play multiple times for the true ending?
There's repetetiveness involved but also a lot of new stuff, it's not directly replaying the same game

This whole post is a bit spoilery considering the game isn't even out yet for US/EU people
The
quest in route B... now my thumb is killing me.
It's not a spoiler. If seeing a GIF of the game is a spoiler, then you should not be in the thread at all.

In retrospect, if I had gotten the Wire skill on my first playthrough, the last couple of bosses would've been pretty easy.
yo how do i get this?

It was a colloquial "you."
Let me rephrase:
Those who are so sensitive that seeing a GIF from a game would spoil them should not be in an OT. OTs are for people who are actually playing a game to discuss it, not a hang out club for people who want to consume every bit of information about it but somehow also learn absolutely nothing.
It's good enough to compete for GOTY in weaker years, but realistically it's not going to be a contender in 2017. This year is too strong.
That said, it's going to be extremely high on my list. I am loving every minute of this wacky and touching story. I'm almost dreading going into work tomorrow because all I want to do is play this game some more.

Well fine then
I did ending B this morning, and then took a short break before starting on C.
One part of me wants to rush through and finish before Horizon comes out, because then Zelda comes out after that... and I don't have all the time in the world to play games, sadly.
This game has me enthralled though, these other games might have to go on the back-burner.
Holy shit did things get intense fast. Once the game played basically the opening credits I was left wondering if the previous 15 or so hours I played were just the prologue. Seems like it was.

Getting further into the game. I still think it is one of the best actions game I have played. So unique and there are tons of combos that they don't even tell ya about.
Also the music is so good. I think it blows away FF15.
I think the story is dark and really intriguing.
Would anybody else think From Software should try a darker setting of this? Sci-fi souls with bloodborne enemies. Omg. Please.
So far rate the game a better than Nioh and on par with my resident evil experience. I think it will pass it soon though. Loving the story and mystery of what is going to happen. It reminds me of playing old games like Shadow of the Colossus so much.

High praise!

Looks beautiful! Can you reduce the recharge time of these pod skills to nearly 0? Or does the wire skill doesn't have a recharge time?
The Wire skill has no recharge, though there are chips to reduce the Pod cooldowns.

Sweet! Mixing up more pod skills together should let us do some crazy combos! The depth in this is huge!

This confuses me, how do you mix up pod skills?
I know there are

You can switch mid-fight
I don't remember hearing it.
One game journo already posted in here mentioning the review guide he got from SE, so the copies are already out.
I'm fairly certain it'll be the best review Taro game, tho probably more on the virtue of it being a platinum game, with most of Yoko's/OGNieR's ideas being creditet to them lol.

Pods you mean? You can't switch pod skills mid fight can you?
You can switch Pod programs in the same way you can weapon switch. Makes for lots of button pressing.
