/v/ - Video Games

I don't remember it as a great game, it was an ok game and it came out when there was nothing else worth playing. At times it felt very dull with all the linear progression and button mash combat. But I gave it a pass because of 2Butt of course. That alone keeps it on my library

didn't even play it lol

It came out in the same quarter as the last guardian, nioh and gravity rush 2 and breath of the wild. There were lots of games out at the same time vying for attention. There is nothing wrong with linear progression and nier automata opens itself up numerous times. The combat is also hardly button mash friendly and you'll quickly find yourself dead on anything but the easiest difficulty.

The other games were on console only, i tried emulating BotW but at that time cemu would crash every 5 minutes.

>There is nothing wrong with linear progression

It is for me when its a game as long as this one

>The combat is also hardly button mash friendly

In normal mode all you have to do is stock on 99 medium recovers, equip auto use item+3, mash the attack button and evade when attacked, repeat ad infinitum, the only challenge i had was when i tried to do the coliseum battles at levels too low like fighting lvl 70 or 80 enemies when i was at level 30 and couldn't use items, so the health chips were very handy.

In hard mode all enemies become health sponges that hit for 50% of your life, i was once one shot by a charging moose. This only evens at the late game when you have more chips and levels, and that is when this game finally gets good.

>gravity rush 2

That game deserved better.

>It is for me when its a game as long as this one

so how would you propose to address it combined with its length? It's designed appropriately for how it structures itself in chapters.

>In normal mode

raise the difficulty level.

>In hard mode all enemies become health sponges that hit for 50% of your life

the dodges are extremely generous, build your chip set ups better.

Crashes every 5 minutes on PC, so couldn't enjoy it.

Gameplay does not exist, a game is its controls. You can effectively explain what a game is about, by describing precisely what happens when you press the joypad buttons. Automata controls very well.

Story does not exist, as narrative is made of every word and every image sent to the player. But the only valuable there is lasting power: what you eventually remember of it. Automata is memorable due to the high contrast characters and key happenings.

>you will never play Nier 1 with the characters and world of Automata

>nominalism

are you functionally retarded?

Fuck is this hivemind bullshit OP?

Kill yourself faggot, this is asking to be shitposted to death and you do the game a disservice by acting like such a faggot, kill yourself

>>14308834

That's why he posted it.

>>14308834

I'll never get why the word we offends some people so much. If you aren't included in that we when asked a question like in the op, that is for you to decide. No need to get all butthurt.

>>14308834

Literally everyone legitimate on /v/ loved the game, the only ones that didn't were salty pirate mustard cancer race. Fuck your revisionism.

>>14309412

What's so bad about the PC port again?

>tetradev

Nice meme.

>>14308834

what, stop being retarded.

>>14309141

nope

>>14309427

it's just a PC port so tons of people report issues, others say they don't have them, some say the fixes for the game don't do anything, some say they fix everything. and there's no patch. personally I wouldn't play the DRM locked version so I don't care about it.

Is this really such a strong bait or is this site retarded enough to fully destroy thread over grouping /v/ as "we"?

>>14309771

yes to both

>we

It was one of the first games in years I had been excited to play leading up to release. I really liked it but I just wish there was a difficulty setting that matched my skill. I think I played on normal where I never died, but just bumping it up one level turned it into a major grindfest. Anyone complaining about not getting it to work on their computers is a brainlet, by the time the cracked version was out there were plenty of resources to fix basically every problem.

>>14309836

the realization that dodging is pretty much just an easy button does trivialize some of the game. There's still the point to managing different enemy types that makes it shine but I think the game isn't quite claiming its own identity like it can in terms of game play.

>Overall I must say I want more shit like this but better.

likewise, and I hope it influences a lot of games going forward. I think it will, and hopefully there's more games like it and more from the team behind nier automata as well.
