Girlfriend Reviews: Should Your Boyfriend Play Nier: Automata?
- Thread starter Kinthey
- Start date
Sure, for philistines
If you get the ball you gotta score.
You should play Nier before Automata. You should play both. They're very good games. Nothing will best the feeling of Automata's E ending for me. Yoko Taro is a weird man who will sit in a bathtub looking at a picture of an idol with an Email head on, but has stuff to say about the world.
Nier is just a weird but wonderful piece of 9/11 inspired media.

ahhh cute Sesame Street clips
ahhh funny pop culture references
AHHH EVERYONE CRYING OVER THE CREDITS
Automata is such an emotional rollercoaster that a comedic video ABOUT the game takes you for a ride.

I keep thinking about both Nier games almost daily. They're that great. In case he's not doing something entirely new, I kinda want to see Yoko Taro return to Drakengard for his next game, though. Despite all its probems, I still like Drakengard 3. But a potential Drakengard 4 in cooperation with Platinum Games? Yes please!
Wouldn't say no to something new Nier related, of course.

Do not watch anything past 6:35 if you're worried about spoilers. There is an obvious SPOILERS AHOY screen at that point.
I feel like Automata is a game best played without knowing anything beforehand, so I'd encourage you to avoid the video altogether for best effect, but there's essentially nothing spoiled about the plot until that point. They do show off the mechanics of one boss battle before then, though.
Also, speaking of that boss battle: I didn't notice the thing they point out at all. Holy crap, I am dumb.
I didnt watch the whole thing because now I want to play it. Skipped the game because I didnt care for that other Nier game.
Taro has such a wild (and even sometimes strange) story telling style I've seen in games. It sticks with you, it opts for tragedy, and it opens up about relationships and motivations in ways your cookie-cutter JRPG batch of do-gooder heroes are too "innocent" for in some ways.
I feel the same way. I have played many "better", more polished, less uneven games, but even with that caveat it's the two Niers that have stayed with me over them. Ending D of the first NieR is the last time I remember a videogame legitimately getting me to tear up.
Dude, your deduction skills are nowhere near as good as you think they are , lol. Just watch the video, worst that could happen is finding it unfunny.
Thanks. Is there another reviewer I can watch? I'm pretty bored right now.
The combat was just too boring for me to continue so I dropped it in Route C. I kept hoping it would be fun because it had Platinum's name on it but I just got shallow philosophy lessons and a great OST.
Why the fuck do you do Nier so dirty? You love the earlier games but would still say no to a sequel?
It's a great game with a pretty mediocre story. The first playthrough was definitely the best, but I enjoyed all 3.
Coworker raved about the soundtrack, saying it was one of the best ever (I know, I've seen most of you post the same thing here, too), and I hadn't played. Saw the "opera singer" section of this video and oh my god I haven't had the urge to play a game based on music this much since that time I saw the opening to Chrono Cross. Good lord is it gorgeous and I need to make time to play it right now.
I loved Automata and had zero idea that earlier Nier game even existed. And no offence, but they seem like way worse games in every way. Watch a story recap or just skip em and enjoy Automata.
I found the game extremely mediocre personally XD That said the video was still fantastic and funny, those sesame street tie ins were great lol.
I will say in Automata's defense the music is indeed absolutely stellar.

The open world kind of sucks, and the graphics range from great to hideous. Its got a lot of repetitive fighting too, especially by the end you have been hacking away (in both senses of the word) at the same robots for so many hours with different characters.
its still a 9/10 because of what it does well being done so well.

Absolutely, it's a good game. Just not "perfect in every aspect" as that other poster said.
The game of the year addition was less than $30 in the last week so I'm sure you can get the launch edition for $20 or less at this point.
Why are you even in this thread if you dont like the videos. Go troll somewhere else.
It's "Should your boyfriend play NieR:Automata?", not "Should you let your boyfriend play NieR:Automata?".
And they are clearly lying, too. Considering they assumed the video is about a girlfriend telling her boyfriend what to play, and that has never been the theme for any of their videos. So it's pretty much impossible for them to think this one is the same as the one they "saw". Prime example of talking out of their ass.
I should proofread my posts before sending them. That clearly was supposed to say "Wouldn't say no to something new Nier related", whoops. Sorry for the confusion!
