NieR: Automata seems intent on wasting my time. So if you die toward the end (like I did), you have to play the entire thing again. Get this the entire opening is about an hour long, and you can't save anywhere. We've got uninspired button-mashy combat, giant robots pretentiously alluding to popular philosophers, cringeworthy voice-acting (I can't stand 9S' constant gasps), and downright inexcusable game design. 2B's very first line is some vague remark about "killing God". The opening sequence perfectly encapsulates everything I dislike about Automata. Though after seeing 2B's overtly sexualized design, I had my worries which were, unfortunately, confirmed in the game's introductory sequence. ![]() The internet (and even some of my friends) have been showering this game with praise, and as a fan of philosphy, I was looking forward to playing this. But I do want to share my experience with this "philosophical masterpiece" of a game, as I'm very sad that I didn't enjoy it. So I'm not looking to hate on something just for the sake of it. I'm pretty sure I do, as I've watched and read several essays and critiques on this game, so don't bother with the gatekeeping. I already know a hefty bunch of people will look at this post and go "oh, you just don't get it".Yes, I did play the entire game, all the way to ending E, and I did all the story-relevant side quests.This post contains major spoilers for NieR: Automata.Recommended SubredditsĪ few disclaimers before everyone grabs their pitchforks: Please use flair to display what games you’re currently playing, not a punch line, username, tag, URL, or signature. ![]() New, mobile-friendly spoilers can be posted using the following formatting: Want to play online in a dead gaming community?
