NieR: Automata |OT| Reset For Ending [E]ra

that "nier ending credits are misleading" thread is getting my blood pressure up.
lotsa bad opinions in there
lotsa bad opinions in there
So I have, I guess you can say, a subjective question. I'm finally buying this game soon but have a little conundrum; I have the base PS4 and an Xbox One X. I generally much rather own a physical copy of a game rather than a digital license, especially when they're the same price. Is the X version that much better that it's worth just getting digital over the physical base PS4 version? Just hunting for an opinion from those they may have double dipped.
I haven't played the X version but I played it on a base PS4 twice and generally had a good time performance-wise. But no matter what it's probably gonna run better on the X minus how the HDR works (according to some thread from a while ago).
But really you should buy the PS4 version AND the X version because it's an amazing game that needs more sales >:)
Haha I don't doubt it. I've been wanting to pick it up for a while but had to clear that backlog first.
If you have an SSD in either of them, I'd purchase that way. Otherwise One X is probably your best bet for consistent frame rates and the like.
I just played the first five hours, I'm in heaven! Really enjoying the game and kinda want to keep playing even though I need to go to bed now. Such weird stuff is happening with the story but I'm completely drawn in. I am in love with the combat and especially the movement speed. Not sure how deep the combat is just yet although I think it seems to be getting more complicated as I level. I found it tricky to use the triggers to shoot and melee at the same time in the beginning but I'm starting to really feel the controls so much so that I'm switching weapons schemes with the up button on the fly and loving it. Starting to really do some damage now too. Kick arse game. So glad I pushed through past the intro - almost felt like this wasn't my game after the first boss. Super glad I stuck with it. This place is usually pretty right about which games are good. I might just have to give bloodborne a try after this.
All of the games I'm playing at the moment are just to pass the time until Spider-Man arrives. Thankfully this one is filling the hole left by completing Horizon and Frozen Wastes 100%. Good stuff.

Oh man if you're enjoying this and you haven't played Bloodborne you're in no shortage of things to tide you over until Spiderman trust me
Excellent! I've always been hesitant to get into Bloodborne because I didn't really enjoy the crazy difficulty on Dark Souls as much as I loved the art style. But Bloodborne has way too much love here so I've got to give it a go.
This is an interesting opinion. I don't think it shares anything at all with Bloodborne?
I posted this in the other OT, but I should have asked here.
I was thinking of replaying the game but I'm not sure how to proceed. I was thinking of simply using the chapter select to start from the beginning. I could start another save entirely, but I don't really feel like collecting everything again (and I know I would feel the need to 100% everything, fishing included, so I should avoid it). The best thing would probably be to lower my level though, so that I'll be more in line with what the game expects and I won't one-shot everything. What do you guys think?

Did you get all the endings?
I mean if you want you can just up the difficulty, but I find nier's hard mode no fun at all lol.
I literally 100%ed every aspect of the game (save a couple of the "challenges" of the DLC), codex entries included. Since I'm max level, I would kill every enemy too quickly if I simply chapter select. I know there's an item that lowers your current level by 10 iirc, so I was thinking of using that and then going through the game levelling up as I go.
If you enjoy them, why not? Gameplay-wise they might not be particularly interesting, but they have some nice insight on characters and details on the world.
On an unrelated note, I booted the game up after a while; FAR updated on its own and seems to be working as intended. It seems I'm getting worse performance though. Should I select/activate DX11 or DX12 (or both)? Could I be forgetting something else that would cause this?
Here's a list of recommendations:

Thanks, it's just that a lot of quests is just go here and go there so idk lol
Oh wow! Thanks for this :)
Ugh, just rage quit the game. On Route A
and I've gotten crushed by conveyors so many times without being able to recover my body that I've pretty much burnt through the entire stash of great chips that I had building throughout the entire game. This is absolutely soul crushing. I'm tempted to roll back to my previous save lot but that was, like, 3 hours of time lost.
EDIT- whew, so I guess death doesn't result in an overrite of your current save? Reloaded from the main menu and it completely rolled back to when I had all of my chips.
Feel much better but it makes the death system seem kinda pointless.

...I'm going to wind up with both English and Japanese copies of these and I already feel somewhat silly about it
Achieved Endings A-E. Hands-down one of the best games I have ever played. It's in my top-3 for sure. The PC release really gave me fits when I first played through Route A a year ago. Decided to fire it back up with FAR and some texture packs, and thankfully, didn't have any issues this time around. I've never played anything like this, but man, the last hour or so of Route C really gave me some MGS2 vibes, in many ways. Absolutely loved it. Will play NieR: Gestalt next. Glad I didn't write this game off when those performance issues arose. Excited to learn more about the Drakengard and NieR mythology!
Got Endings A-E but waned to go back and complete some side quests. Is there a guide that lists what chapter each side quest is in so I can select the correct chapter?
Just finished this masterpiece. Is this the topic where I gush about how awesome everything was?
It's funny but Nier didn't grab me at all and sold it but maybe it's the Platinum trademark gameplay or the refined story and music or the sum of it's parts but man, Nier Automata is definitely my game of the gen so far.
Also, some of the "joke" fail endings were funny.

man, I swore to myself that I'll only get A2, but I might as well complete the set now (sans the stubby pack)
glad they're coming next year, gives me enough time to save some money
also I read somewhere they are releasing a second version of 2B, any details on that?
oh shit I didn't notice 9S comes with
now I must have him

2b's arm!!!
yeah no, I'm talking about an updated model of the bring arts one, cant find where I read it, but oh well if it's true we will get the details eventually, not that I'm interested in rebuying but I'd like to know what was updated
anyway thanks!
Heard the ost for the first time and also liked the char designs so ended up getting it. Liking it a lot so far as it's got more story to it than just being flashy from what I've played so far. Avoided it initially due to not being the big action hack/slash player but the fact the game transitions to other views thus other playstyles is nice.
Seems you were right, they just showed a new one off today!
As well as several other things:

Need some advice. Just started playing and I feel like I'm blowing through the Route A run. I just got to the
and I've done like 2 sidequests I think. The ones for the weapon and supply traders at the Resistance Camp. I'm a little concerned as I've seen people say that they spent 30 hours or more on Route A doing sidequests and yet I feel like I'm not finding any.
Am I missing something?
Loving the game, BTW.

There are a few more side quests that should be available to you by now, but none are permanently missable (except maybe item collection in route B?). I think you'll find a couple in the city ruins among the rooftops and talking to Resistance members at the camp.
Try to do sidequests as you find them and if they seem to be not pains in the ass. Just to help keep at a decent level so you don't hit Route C and get owned by the difficulty spike. Sidequest EXP rewards will offset any need to do exp grinding on enemies.
Sidequests usually show up on the map as well, I believe as red/orange dots or as the bigger circles to show there's something in that area. Also keep an eye out for any NPCs that have QUEST floating above their head.
Even if you try to do as many sidequests as possible you're looking at sub-20 hours in Route A. I did a bunch and hit 16 hours. I beat the game at 36 hours with 83% sidequests.
Thanks for the reply. When you say beat the game at 36 hours, do you mean 36 hours for Routes A-E?
It's been a while, slowly but surely, but progress is being made on the HD Texture mod for PC.

Word of warning, the Nier Automata: Long Story Short novel is preeetty bad. Like, basic highschool grammar and writing stuff. Don't know how it wasn't caught by the editor.
Lots of issues with using different terminology from the game too.
Somebody reviewing the first few pages:
45 minutes total. There are that many issues.

I read on her twitter that the translation is iffy and missing the point at times, but even the gramma?
