No, it's because the regular Japanese don't really play western games unless they're AAA releases, which are trash. Most of them have no idea about anything but the most mainstream of garbage.

this is amazing considering western maps are fucking hallways

I hope you’re shitposting, honestly. I’d be glad to make a long fucking autistic post if you aren’t you stupid zoomer.

Not wanting to read 20 paragraphs of autistic rambling by some guy with a severe case of the stop-liking-what-I-don't-like disease doesn't make someone stupid. It means they don't want to waste their time. The entire thing can be summed up with "japs 4 dum cuz their games arent real RPGs cuz u dont get to make choices. And theyre 2 ez" but instead he dragged it out with a bunch of embarrassing personal rants and attempts at jokes.

Is mass effect magically not western or something?

That's like, 20 minutes into the game.

Best character design that's for sure

I didn't play Animal Crossing yet.

If you have to spam meaningless buzzwords like Zoomer then you don't even have an argument & are a delusional boomer from RPGCodex.

I wish the game didn't have stats. It would have been a better game for it.

What 3D Japanese games have complex levels, from any genre? I look at stuff from 20 years ago, Doom, Quake, et al, and Japan has nothing at all like that, ever. Even CoD and Battlefield maps are running rings around any modern acclaimed Japanese games.

back then maps were massive, inmersive full of little details, then the whole "cinematic experience" started and it ruined videogames.

Does the game have optimisation issues or something on PC?
I have an 3900X and a 2080, usually play newer games with everything on max and they run flawlessly.
Started this yesterday with everything on max and there were odd frame drops and the cutscenes felt like they were going back to 30FPS.
The game didn't look that amazing visually, felt fucking weird getting these drops.

I'd say fromsoftware nailed rpg's more than western ones the last decade.

the ONLY reason you play video games is out of sexual attraction to the characters. you think games like titty ninjas and titty beach volleyball are the pinnacle of gaming, and you like nier automata for the same reason you like those """games"""".
you do not and have never enjoyed video games. you just use them as a form of interactive porn, which is exactly what nier is.

I got to the theme park controlling 9s and couldn't figure out why anyone liked the game, gave it a fair 25 hours, its just not that good, the combat is bland and a lot of the microchip mods are game breaking, idk how people die, idk how peoplewould want to replay the game with some dumbass hacking minigame included, I couldn't figure out how I was the only person who seemed to notice that it looked and played like a ps3 launch quality title. I feel like people who like the game are retarded, horizon zero dawn is a better game, tomb raider is better, sekiro is better. it is just average at best.

Nope. The gameplay is pretty mediocre and the story is retarded. People only like it because they're paedophiles who got rock hard at 2B's ass.

NieR: Automata is unironically the biggest pleb filter ever, anyone who says "Muh 2B's Ass" didn't play it & you can tell right away because she has the least amount of Screentime of the 3 Protagonists. Most Journalists never rated it highly because they couldn't even get past the opening tutorial or stopped playing at Ending A.

If anything the game beats you over the head with how fucking stupid wasting your life philosophizing is.

And amazingly enough, that point is lost on 75% of the playerbase.

It's not even a rpg

>newfag cumskulls admit defeat
thought so
you only pretend that nier automata is a good """game""" because you are attracted to the characters. you bought nier automata for the same reason you preordered subverse - you just wanted porn you could interact with.

It's not really a role playing game, but it's probably top1-3 greatest games of all time anyway regardless of genre.

Not an argument.

Jean-Paul Sartre would agree. It's still a philosophical and nihilistic position to take, which the game enjoys rubbing its dick over.

Not sure if you're talking about people who try to dissect what the story's going for or the MUH DEEP LORE faggots. I'll agree with the latter, but the former's fine, it's the fine line between giving things some thought and obsessing over them for vapid reasons.

The later, mostly, when I talk about nier fans what they liked so much about automata, I generally have two answers that massively inflate my "gather of opinion"
>1. Muh deep story
>2. 2B's ass
I rarely have a different answer, personally I don't think much about the game, but that's just me flaunting my opinion about.

Any sort of statement on how we live our lives and our meaning is philosophical, you git, and the game goes out of its way to call Sartre a huge hypocritical faggot. I know you're busy playing down how shit this game people like is, but it really isn't jerking itself off. It's self-deprecating the whole way through and quite literally says "yeah we don't have answers but fuck it."

I just liked it because it has some very strong implicit character writing, a strong set of ideas, is fun to play, is deeply melancholy in a way I enjoy, and did a great job with setpieces and getting to the heart of depression. It isn't deep, it's just really enjoyable and well considered.

I don't know about being the best game of all time, but it was a good game. Making 2B too sexualized was a mistake though, it just attracts all the wrong kind of people.

Basically. Automata is highly underrated here now.

The fact that people are so pleby that they actually played the game on 'normal' difficulty and yet still complain about it being a button masher is hilarious. The game has to be experienced as a relentlessly unforgiving slaughterhouse for everything to work.

>Any sort of statement on how we live our lives and our meaning is philosophical
Obviously, but that's an over simplification. You can can make a statement on our lives within a coherent narrative without being on the nose to the point of naming every character after a real world philosopher. It just comes off as obnoxious, especially since all of them are one dimensional caricatures of themselves. Sartre (just to name one) brought a lot more than what is shown here, and he would probably laugh at his own portrayal for how inacurate it is.
It's as if Taro googled a few of them, read a paragraph of their work and critized it as they were a bunch of idiots. Nietzsche being the most butchered of them.

>Repetitive combat
Why not try using a different weapon or combo then? It's one of those cases where the game is as boring as you make it.

You have to remember most of Yea Forums is pants on head retarded and thinks that just spamming attack with your starter weapon is a valid strategy

>Dude it's so up its ass with being philosophic and is so heavy handed and obnoxious.
>Dude it doesn't even bother to actually be philosophic or actually give the full life an philosophy of every single person it criticizes and is so inaccurate!
Pick one, faggot. Either its trying too hard or it's not trying, you can't play it both ways depending on how you want to shit on it at the moment. If the game is blowing off philosophers both by not actually delving into their lives and works and by outright saying this shit is stupid, how could you argue that it's trying to be philosophical and pretentious in the first place? Is it not instead placing the rejection of this kind of pondering being the majority of a person's life and thoughts as the core of its narrative?

You can pretend you weren't criticizing the game for not bothering to go in depth with the philosophers if you'd like, but we both know you're a knob.

Japan also think yumi and niko are best girls.

I'm not, that's definitely my position. If you want to literally name drop a dozen philosophers, at least get their positions right. Which it doesn't.
But being wrong about something doesn't automatically cancel the fact that the game (and its fanbase) jerks off to how "deep" it is. They're not mutually exclusive.

Wonder what the results would be if gacha counted.

I agree with some of the criticisms in this post. I mean, you would have to be an idiot to not figure out that Japanese companies hate risk and would rather do the last thing that sold, only harder. The West does this, too, but Japan is fucking religious about it.

HOWEVER

JRPGs are a completely different genre than WRPGs. it is like bitching that the Dodge Challenger has shitty handling, or that a Lamborghini only gets 10 MPG. JRPGs are not supposed to be open-ended simulated worlds that you just wander and try to figure out what the plot is.

JRPGs are heavily scripted experiences, because that is what people want. They are about interesting characters in a unique world, with a well written story full of drama and excitement. Would you complain that a movie is "too linear"? then you should not make the same complaint about JRPGs.

>boards ur ship

It'd make a better artbook than a game. The characters and environments look cool, that's it.

The gameplay and movement feels really breezy and smooth too, it's a joy even just to move the characters around.
The only thing the game is really lacking is proper character development.

Honestly Nier Automata would be better as an action game while removing the level up elements.
Replaying on NG+ is virtually impossible since as a level 80+ you're just annihilating everything and it's no fun to fight shit anymore since you just wipe the floor with them. If you want to experience the game without being OP you need to start an entirely new game again.

Only Japanese game developers that are worth a shit are the zelda guys and from software, the rest can get fucked, western games are better.

There's a difference between forcing the player to replay something and someone replaying something out of enjoyment. Your comment is pretty ironic.

If you didn't enjoy route B you didn't enjoy route A at which point it's clear the game is not for you and I don't care what your opinion is. Sorry.

Then play Nier Automata.
You'll thank me.

I will thank you now. I heard beside a few characters that I didnt need to play it? I do like playing games in chronological order though.

I just with I could get Drakengard 1 and 2.

No. You play "Route A" as 2B which takes you past a certain point in the story and then plays the credits.
You then play "Route B" where you play the same segment of story with slightly altered cutscenes and you play as 9S who was with 2B for most of the story, and diverge where he was somewhere else. The credits play again after.

"Route C" begins directly after where the last routes left off and continues on chronologically forward. You switch between 3 different characters in Route C.

Good to the point of being considered the second best RPG of all time? you fucking retard.

No that's just shitposting that some faggots were spreading without playing the game.
You replay the first half of the game a second time before you can play the second half.

But there’s 3 main routes and in only one of them do you replay the previous route, and it’s the shortest route of them all

fucking gamers and their absolute shit taste

Thanks anons. I can get Nier for PS3. Should I do it and play it first?

All the replies you got + route B has different sidequests and 9S' playstyle is pretty different.

nah, but it was 2017 GOTY

>I heard beside a few characters that I didnt need to play it?
Personally I think Nier Gestalt is ABSOLUTELY necessary. It shows you why Nier Automata is happening to begin with, why certain plot twists are not plot twists at all and make you start thinking about what's actually happening in the plot. It's far easier to understand if you play Gestalt.

The actual intention and themes will be clearer.

I want the commander to sit on my face and crush my skull

Yeah for sure. Just know that the gameplay in Gestalt is kinda clunky.

How does it feel to be clinically retarded and unable to grasp even the basics of life?

>all robots have great philosopher names but are all one dimensional,

Fucking amazing, you just missed the entire point of why that is the case. Dumb cunt.

I'm getting both games. Thanks anons.

>do you agree with them?
yep, they're all trash so something like Nier Automata can easily take 2nd.

No, it's garbage same as P5. Japan has the worst taste.

It's the first, it's not even remotely close either.

where is the source of this poll

think of the advertisers user

They're a bunch of sexless virgins, so it figures.

How is that even an rpg?

Nobody has ever talked about the game, they just post this character's ass
Is it even a game at all?

Nothing special, just porn

I know, and there are other easy ways to find that image, it's just sad to see the good archive go.

Its not an RPG.

It's not an RPG. it's a hack and slash Revengeance type shit.

How is this an rpg lmao.
Sometimes those gooks say some dumb shit.
Though I guess thats to be expected, they call rpgs those lite visual novels with zero choice and some random encounters scattered inbetween plot points that theyve been shitting out for decades, so yeah, comparing to that, tomato is a revolutionary rpg.

>good taste

yes

I played DQ 1, 3 and 8 and that pic is only partially wrong.

alright how do we get rid of the jizzbrain problem?

That means the first Nier would have to be number 1

Does the story make sense on a normal playthrough without reading a ton of wiki pages?
Japan has a serious problem with telling a story in a normal game format.

how the fuck you even tell them apart? Only their wardrove sets them apart.

Can you find that shit online? I kinda don't want to read this eye annihilating white-on-black garbage.

Storyshit aren't RPGs. Play real RPGs.

How the fuck can you put morrowind behind generic jrpg #96293 in a list about GOOD RPGs?

Play that completed it, pretty dull and boring standard table top RPG fair.

Story is all RPG's have to go for now that progression systems (level ups, gear upgrades) are literally everywhere

Author is a fag, but there's definitely some insight in there. Too bad he ruins it by being a pompous cunt.

do you love fat assed cosplayers in 2b costumes?

it's the second worst I've ever played. they failed so hard at programming the RPG shit and the combat is just haphazardly slapped together recycled code that platinum gave them that does't work with the rest of the game.

Nah i played tons of rpgs both w and j and some tabletop here and there and he's right, only being too much of a fag about it. If a game such as say dark souls which is entirely action-centered and is a glorified dungeon crawler has more roleplaying (not to say much, still, just some sidequests and endings plus a battle playstyle) than 95% of an entire genre you know something is seriously wrong.

It’s my favorite RPG after Dragon Quest XI and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. WRPG are soulless pieces of shit for neckbeards.

This guy is mostly right, but I wish he could contain his faggotry and avoid making his point in the most obnoxious way possible

I want to cum inside you, Meowriza. You single-handedly made me want to fuck a femboy.

There is a whole world of unexplored areas of transforming tabletop to a singleplayer computer program which is the endgoal of genre.
Say, exanima goes away with most hud things and simulates combat through physics, obstructing the actual math from the player, which is what many crpg fans would be strongly against but is so much closer to the essence of rpg - all the rules were only explicitly written because there was no other way to follow them.
Like you dont need to spend decades in real life on learning physics and biology to beat someone to death using those through your fists you dont need to see the math happening behind the scene to understand a game, play it and become better, on the contrary, that way adventure only becomes more lifelike because you aren't just trying to solve some simple equations to guess if you win or not ahead of time, you need to think about it in a way more natural manner.

Why does Japan make more attractive white people than white people?

Welcome to the videogame RPG conundrum, where numbers and dialogue trees make RPGs but sometimes they don't.
Thank the industry for bastardizing entires genres for the sake of profit.

old and out dated meme

By actually being funny and not spamming cringeworthy buzzwords? I know this must be hard for your politicized brain, but please try harder now :^)

I hated the fact that they make you use A2 without the long hair until the fucking end.

>>What are Ultima Underworld/TES/Deus Ex/System Shock etc.
You can actually role-play in most of those games, which you can't do in Borderlands or Automata or other action games that are mistakenly labeled as RPGs.
