Nier Automata

What is it about this game that has everyone so enamored with it?

Is it the story, the characters, or the combat gameplay?

or the ass

The story, the characters, the ass, the music

It's definitely not the gameplay.
>buy nier thinking it will be a fun Platinum game since I didn't play the old Nier
>get some babby's first philosophy lesson with dodges that don't punish you and no combos
>quit midway through route C
I tried to give it a shot to see if it got better, never did.

for me, it's the ass

I really loved the first Nier, and Automata is about as good of a sequel as I could have expected to get out of it.

The combat's fun, if a little simple, the character callbacks to the first game are emotional, and the plot has some wacky twists and turns as you progress throughout the endings.

>its a typical platinum action game
Only if you are speaking of platinum's recent lackluster releases. It's literally just ass, forced """sad""" scenes and some philosophy references that grants the game rave reviews.

You didn't miss anything.

The music's very nice.

You forgot the ridiculously good music and the delicious tone of suffering.
It's the whole package that people like though - especially when you get to ending E and all the themes converge and get turned upside down in one mind blowing meta moment that isn't going to be topped for another decade.

mainly ass because the game is pretty shit and far worse than nier
