Any games like this masterpiece?

Then you're in the same boat as me I suppose.
You mean Shenmue?

nah probably not but there are some vague similarities

astral chain probably has better combat

Shenmue isn't an action RPG. It's a life sim, more akin to Harvest Moon and ChuvLip than to Yakuza and Nier.

>philosophy 101 tropes

I like how everyone on Yea Forums suddenly becomes philosophy majors when a game has any minor philosophical themes

The brainlet pretentious philosophy doesn't bother me nearly as much as the god awful combat.

>beating the game because CUTE GIRL SEX PUSSY PUSSY PANTIES OMG SEXY CUTE OUTFIT SEXY BOBS VAGENE

astral chain is good though. better recommendation than this war of mine lmfao

>Nier Automata's gameplay is bad
how to spot someone who has never played a game with bad combat. Not even OG Nier is even half as bad as I expected it to be like some of you autists made it out to be.

...

Horizon zero dawn unironically has one of the best vidya plots ever made

Final Fantasy Type 0.
It's practically as if Taro would've made an FF game. It even has that multiple playthroughs gimmick.

Yuros aren't as easily impressed by these things as its common knowledge thanks to what's taught in school but I can understand how mutts feel smart as fuck when they play this since it's new for them and might force them to think slightly deeper for once.

>>brainlet-tier philosophy 101 tropes
That's right, as a well-read European gamer I prefer when games pose serious issues such as evil man bad.

You're making no sense.

Sure but when everything else is even worse (combat for example) it's just a shitty game. Period.
Hitman's story is mediocre at the very best but the gameplay is great.
Also the weeb/anime style of storytelling is cringe as fuck.

Automata is fucking trash and I want 20 hours of my life back. MASSIVE disappointment.

in 20 hours you can't even finish the prologue

I put it down 2 hours into it, returned it, and checked the plot online. It's generic, predictable and lazy AF. I dunno what kind of TLOU worshipper you need to be to praise such shit.

He's right, though. Horizon addresses some of the same themes as Nier Automata. And almost all of them better. Also, Aloy is cuter than 2B.

t. virgin nincel.

>greatness
what do you mean?

You must live in a bizarro world to honestly think any of that. Not to mention A2 is the best robutt.

>3 games I haven't played but I saw Yea Forums shit on
>Are you fucking kidding me or just implying that Automata is a piece of shit too?
NPC tier post

Then it's even worse and it's steams timer that is faulty. Should have been longer than average as when I got to A2 I just let the game automatically grind so the rest of the game at least would go by quickly.
Original NieR is so much better it isn't even funny.

Automata is literally one of the most impressive and important games ever created. A touching masterpiece.

What the hell was even the budget of this shit?

Attached: 20190806194815_1.jpg (1920x1080, 597K)

About $3,50 and a case of beer.

Small.
And that is ultimately that made it so charming and a huge success in the end. It's a direct throwback to the late 1990s / early 00s unbloated, "mid-budgeted" triple-A titles, nowadays dubbed as "AA".

>late 1990s / early 00s
The textures sure came from that era.

>those jaggies
The fuck, is the game running on software renderer?

Well since you seem to don't mind gameplay, there are 4 prequels to automata

The PC version craps out when you activate both, AA and AO.

>returns an open world game after only 2 hours
>lazily checks plot online just to call it boring, generic and predictable as if the perspective won't matter.

Opinion discarded. I'm sorry your ADD brain addled you so much.

nier automata has the same gameplay as ffxv

Nier Automata is such a great game. Makes you feel like shit, but in a good way. Like the kind of shit that reminds you you're alive.

post yfw you found out astral chain is nier automata’s sequel

why are you so mad? why are you putting words into my mouth?

Nier wasn’t bad but holy shit Drakengard 3 was unplayable. Nier games are two of my all time favorites so it was really disappointing.

because the only logical conclusion to your stupid post is that you are baiting for replies. you should be thanking me for being so nice.

That doesn't mean it doesn't have bad gameplay

This is a game that came out in 2002.

You samefags never ever bother to explain what makes Automata's gameplay so "bad" in your books.
As far as I can see, the gameplay is very varied, fast, and fun.

Boring open world with fetch quests?

I honestly wish, 15's game play is super trash,the fact that the lead dipshit designer thought hold a button to attack would be satisfying in any way is mind blowing.

You can stop pretending to hate popular things to score good boy points now. Nobody is impressed. Or perhaps I'm wrong and you're just lashing at something you personally didn't like because you're not comfortable with feeling left out. Well, that's just sad.

>say something stupid
>w-why are you being mean to me on the internet???
reddit is that way

Yes, and it looks like it as well.

Nier is not "open world."

>samefag
>ip changed when i posted because that was may first post in the thread

don't even pretend that you haven't been parroting that same meme for months now nonstop.

>Yes, and it looks like it as well.
So, what you're saying is that Automata also looks like a game that came out in 2002?

Since nier automata is such a bad game, name good names.

Those ground textures are just as if not more blurry than stuff from 2002.

No.
You however apparently are, which just proves your ignorance, blindness, and general idiocy.

Too bad its poorly written, the puzzles are a chore and everything looks the fucking same.

>NieR is better
I swear none of you retards actually played that clusterfuck. Or you're just easily swayed by good music and ignore the long list of shit.

The only reason this game looks decent is because of particle effects and extremely high poly player models. Everything else is pretty bland.

Maybe if you cherry pick your screenshots, and ignore the other enhancements, such as normal/specular mapping, dynamic lighting, post-processing effects, and literal 400k triangles worth of ass per character.

What is his, a cheap b8 thread?

>implying that you wouldn't munch on 2B's butt cheeks if you had the chance.

I mean, you're in a thread where anons think that Shitmata is a masterpiece.

Classic case of a 'game Yea Forums loves until it gets popular', combined with Tarotards freaking out over Yoko Taro no longer bein 'le obscure gem' director and throwing a shit-fit over it; I've even seen someone claim Drakengard 1 has better gameplay than Automata.

The whole world, sans (You), think and know it is.
You can stop being a contrarian faggot any time now.

it unironically is mouth breather. put some respect on yoko taro’s name

Not that user, but I've just started emulating it with the PS3 emulator, the game's neat, but fuck me for trying to actually play it with a keyboard. Which dualshock would you recommend I get for Nier? I also plan to use this gamepad for other games that are better off on a gamepad, so I'm not necessarily looking to get something older.

Just grab the cheap Logitech F310.
It's shaped like a DualShock, supports both Direct- and Xinput modes, does not need fishy custom firmware, and is half the price of Snoy's and MS's shit.

I just play it on my PS3.

He was probably a huge Taro fan, until Taro became popular.

doesn't have the 60fps mod

I played NieR with an xbone pad and it was just fine.

Every person who says Automata is shit is someone who just can't look past 2b's ass.

>metal gear solid 2 has a similarly crazy postmodern futuristic story and the level of polish is really high, just like in nier

except for the shitty ending sequence and cliffhanger ending. Those alone keep MGS2 from being a masterpiece

Automata has a "Hold O to win" combat system?

>15's game play is super trash,the fact that the lead dipshit designer thought hold a button to attack would be satisfying in any way is mind blowing

>Automata has a "Hold O to win" combat system?

It does have auto combat, but only on very easy mode.

>Selects easiest difficulty.
>Goes into chip options and enables auto attack.
>"REEEE WHY IS IT SO EASY!!!"
What kind of retard?

Metal gear rising in terms of swordplay

>but only on very easy mode.
ah, the "game reviewer" difficulty level

Are you twelve?

Only if I measure it in inches.

Yeah, but I can play it in 4k resolution and 60 fps on the PC.

So incredibly fun, but makes 'muh difficulty' spammers mad?

Explain exactly how the combat is "bad".

Who cares about them? I'm My Own Master Now.

>sex is for 13yo

Fuck off, pedo.

Nothing wrong with ass and tits in a game.
But that isn't enough to make some game a masterpiece.

it's bad in my opinion, because you just spam attack to win

I never said it Automata's was bad, just that it was ass. An action game where you win by spamming attack and dodge (you literally cannot be hit if you keep spamming) isn't very good IN MY OPINION. But I do not play Nier for the gameplay, so I don't really care.

Did you even tried playing on hard? Spamming dodge simple won't work if you're fighting anything except those small robots

I platinumed the game and thought the story was shit 80% into the game. It's still pretty bad overall, haven't played the DLC though.

How is it bad and why did you platinum it then?

>It's generic, predictable and lazy AF.

Name one piece of media that has the same plot.

>game bad because easy

General consensus is to skip Drakengard 2, right?

Attached: 1468610066376.jpg (1280x1911, 899K)

I thought the general consensus was to skip all of Drakengard?

Undertale and Metal Gear Solid. All games for retards. How do I know? Well, if you like one of these you like the rest. You are the most predictable little moron and I love beating the crap out of you and raping your silly little girlfriend.

Well, if it's badly written then Nier: A fans will surely love it. As long as there are some light existential themes and girls showing off their cunts you semenbrains will love it.

This. There are some games that are good in spite of being made for semenbrains. Nier: Automata isn't one of them.

I bet you'll claim Drakengard 1 has the best combat in the series like the contrarian you are.
