Girlfriend Reviews: Should Your Boyfriend Play Nier: Automata?
- Thread starter Kinthey
- Start date
This was just an all round perfect game, it's a superb gaming experience and nice to hear they enjoyed it and "got" it.
Stand alone but there's alot of easter egg if you play all drakengard games and nier replicant
we both know he's checkin out that 9ass
Automata will spoil a few important plot points from the first NIER, although the main story itself is by and large standalone. NIER first is heavily recommended, as it really enhances Automata even though they aren't directly related most of the time.
There's some references and minor characters, but it's not needed (clearly, judging by this game selling like at least 20-30x as many copies).
Nier Replicant has a beautiful OST but uhh I don't think it's worth playing at all. Just go straight to Automata.
I figured they'd love it, especially the godlike OST, game's a masterpiece, more people should play Automata :D
Its pretty much standalone, but if you do watch/play the first Nier, Automata is a bit more of a rewarding experience due to the game having some callbacks and fanservice that are a reference to the original title. I'd recommend it if you have the opportunity.

Nah. The story, over all message and music are. The open world is the most boring one I "explored" in years, and the combat is just ok.
Maybe you should let your boyfriend play whatever game he wants 🤔

great video, only thing missing was more Shelby singing. I recall her singing/humming quite a bit during the live stream. It me listening to the OST at work and confusing all my coworkers.
But yeah, i'd agree the story and OST were perfect but the gameplay was a bit lacking, ended up putting it on autoplay mode and just enjoying the story when I played it.

I almost feel inspired to go back and get further in it now. I'm still on my first time through and got pretty bored with everything that wasn't the music.
just go put it on autoplay (there's a chip you can install to do that) and run through it. Its worth it for the story and music alone
Never seen any of these video's so I might check this one out later.
That being said...Nier: Automata is an essential experience. Totally bloody amazing. The soundtrack is one of the best ever. It's the type of game that only the Japanese could design and develop.
I love it.

Wait did that kid just do the split... like... it it easier for kids because i sure as fuck would die trying.
They are pretty much standalone, but Automata spoils a lot of Nier, so I'd recommend playing Nier first.
Automata has better plot and more polish, while Nier has better characters and soundtrack.
hey now, Kh3 was worth buying
Outside of that. Pretty much yes to all of that. Yoko Taro is a thematic and literary genius, Keiichi Obake is a musical composition genius, Emi Evans and Jnique Nicole are vocal geniuses, and this entire game is pretty much genius. Arguably the best game of the gen for me, and biggest surprise announcement outside of FF7R.

Apparently so. I've watched one of their videos and thought it was dreadful. So I just assume they are all the same.
If the video isn't talking about what the title says than maybe they should go for a less click baity approach?
Try actually watching the video if you care so much about the subject. Or you could just come into the thread to be a jerk about it.
It's not really "clickbaity", it's the theme of the channel.
Incredible review as always this time specially the edit was hilarious and well done as always but laughed a lot again :D

Man I fucking started to feel myself tear up AGAIN when she gets to the credits part. Even in this goofy ass video it still fucking gets me!
He's not wrong though and watching it would only confirm what he already thinks. The videos are very formulaic. If you didn't like one, chances are they're not for you.
I watched a summary video, but I did buy the game after finishing automata. I definitely didn't feel like I missed out on anything by not playing the first game first though.
Which is fine. But then they don't need to come into the thread to remind us all of their lack of interest.
After finally obtaining a copy, nah. It's a very acquired taste and not for everyone. Certainly not for me. It's the only PlatinumGames title I don't like.
First time watching this GF reviews. Like most of the content, but it kinda ruins it for me with the cuts to meme wannabe of the office and Danny de Vito. I guess you have to find your flavor to produce YouTube videos, but it would be a lot more enjoyable for me if she just talked, or joked with no such cuts.
Anyway a nice analysis of the game and definitely up there with best games of all time.
BTW, is she supposed to not play games and watch her BF play?

Nier Automata should be played for the story and music. Because no matter how often I'm told about how Platinum games has amazing gameplay, I can never get into them. Nier Automata was no different. But I powered through similarly to how I did Nier OG because the story and music alone make it worth it.
