How do people like this game so much? I got it for free from a friend on steam and am currently in the middle of route c, and between the shitty indie dev visuals that looks like an upscaled PS2 game to the 3Deep5Me plotline there isn't really much to latch onto. The characters are shit 2B is waifu bait, 9S is a white knight who is just there to advance the plot, and A2 is edgelord tier trash. Many plot threads were introduced and just left on the wayside like White Chlorination Syndrome. I want to play THAT game, not some shittier attempt at a Kojimbo hack fraud story. Tell me Yea Forums does it get any better?

Only redditor retards like Automata
Original Nier was better in everyway and so where all of the other Drakengards, Yoko Taro is a Pseudo hack faggot

To get the whole story you need to have played every Yoko Taro game, including the mobile game Sin'O'Alice. Read every screenplay and watched the hard to find fan translations of the japanese stageplays. Found a fan translation or read japanese to understand the complete guides and the novels, including a book contained only in drakengards tenth anniversary box set, a audio drama, a visual novel and the upcoming FFXIV raid.
Example 1: at the start of the game 2b says she wants to find her god and kill him. If you watch both stage plays and read a light novel you know this is a joke because her creator is the original 9 model unit which is why its such an advanced hacker. She has not only found her creator all along in a way but its her job to kill him when he discovers too much because the original pre black box unit 9 saw all his friends die and the survivors went crazy -which is why male combat units were no longer produced- and left his own series as a constant sabotage to hack into things he wasn't supposed to and cause trouble for the organisation long after he was killed by them. She does meet her god and kills him. Endlessly.
Example 2: midway through the game a storybook cutscene tells a tale of a angry god exploding from a mountain and gifting the machines with true sentience. In the Drag-On-Dragoon: Inside woRLD novel contained in the Drakengard jp only 10th anniversary set you read how thats a boss supposedly killed in Nier that woke up millenia later and flew out of his junk heap into space causing an EMP that fucked up the circuits and caused a schism in the machine hivemind.
Good luck its metal gear/kingdom hearts level homework!

That's my point however, you shouldn't have to have a bachelor's degree in Yoko Taro lore to understand the plot of this supposed game of the year contender game. The only redeeming factors so far are the music and combat.

You don't. All that other user posted is just lore that adds to the overall universe.
