Absolutely love this game. This and Yakuza 0 are probably my two favourite games in recent years.
Masterpiece.Just picked this up, heard a lot of good things.
@DamienSomeone please add prefix to the thread. It looks disgusting!
The prologue ?Just spent best part of 40 minutes getting to a boss on a bridge, died and now I have to start from the beginning?
JaThe prologue ?
The prologue is by far the hardest and most annoying part of the game due to lack of saving. I saw some saying they even decided to drop the difficulty to easy just to get past it then back to normal for the rest of the game. The rest of the game is very forgiving regarding saving points.
Same happened to me, I wasn't impressed. Stick with itJust spent best part of 40 minutes getting to a boss on a bridge, died and now I have to start from the beginning?
OK, very annoying! Can understand why people would give up if they died a couple of timesSame happened to me, I wasn't impressed. Stick with it
It's highly rated because of its fast paced action and very deep story.I feel it's a good game, but somewhat overrated. The combat is very repitive and didn't find the world very deep or interesting. Good game, but some people think it's one of the greatest of all time..
Just so you know. You have to beat the game 3 times to get the proper ending.OK, very annoying! Can understand why people would give up if they died a couple of times
3 times and 3rd time is a different walkthrough than than the first 2.Just so you know. You have to beat the game 5 times to get the proper ending.
No-one pays attention to 2B's boobs, it's all about that arse.The giant boob robot is really annoying to me. Why cant I be an android with a tactically sound shape. You know, like Joel Kinnaman or something.
It's a Japanese game, what are you expecting ?The giant boob robot is really annoying to me. Why cant I be an android with a tactically sound shape. You know, like Joel Kinnaman or something.
I guess it's just a matter of taste. I liked it, but it did not stand out for me.It's highly rated because of its fast paced action and very deep story.
This happens. I don't like every highly rated game either.I guess it's just a matter of taste. I liked it, but it did not stand out for me.
Yeah, it's always my problem. I like the mechanics of Japanese games, but the art style and exponentially more so the anime trope personalities drive me insane. It also seriously impeded me in enjoying Persona 5. Yes, I get it everyone has only 1 defining personality trait. Please kill me.It's a Japanese game, what are you expecting ?
Though I still like what she wears overall.
Since I'm an anime viewer myself I don't have any problem with the art style, as for the female objectification in anime and Japanese media in general, I think it's a problem when that's all the anime/game depends on to attract viewers/games. However I think Nier escaped from this. I actually think 2B earned her sexuality a little bit. She's not a human, and she's strong and wears fashionable dress, plus it's not the main attraction of the game by the end of it, action and story are, so I don't have much problem with her thighs or breasts sexualized. It's a Japanese trope but the game stands on its own regardless from them.Yeah, it's always my problem.

I couldn't get going with Persona 5 because of all the endless dialouge. I was really hyped for that game.Yeah, it's always my problem.

Crap you’re right. My bad. Been so long since I played it. Great game though3 times and 3rd time is a different walkthrough than than the first 2.
No problem. I'm just the one who has a strong memory.Crap you’re right. My bad. Been so long since I played it. Great game though
It's not a problem in the sense that it offends me, mind. I just cannot take it very seriously because of it.Since I'm an anime viewer myself I don't have any problem with the art style, as for the female objectification in anime and Japanese media in general, I think it's a problem when that's all the anime/game depends on to attract viewers/games.

Female protagonists have become very common last few years in gaming industry though I feel. Previously it was rare to find a game with a female protagonist and these were very well known. Lara Croft was a primary example. Now it's very common. This can be an interesting discussion topic on its own though.
The story on the first playthrough is a pretty typical Shounen anime story. You start discovering more interesting things in second playthrough that you didn't know about and third playthrough is when the game takes a U turn.When does this game get to the level of one of the greatest artistic masterpieces of its time? I mean, I like it well enough, but nothing shockingly amazing.
You don't play the 3 playthroughs with the same character. First one is with 2B, and since she has a simplistic mind and just wants to slice things you don't learn much. Second one you experience the story from 9S view, and due to his hacking ability you start understanding more about the world. Finally, the 3rd playthrough is with a character I can't mention its name due to spoilers and is totally different than the first 2.Should you really have to play a game three times to get to best bits though?
