Is NieR: Automata an unabashed masterpiece or are there glaring flaws?
Is NieR: Automata an unabashed masterpiece or are there glaring flaws?

The biggest flaw is that it's not fun game to play.
Adam Perez
Debatable
Benjamin Ross
thrilling footage of the player doing somthing you will never make use of in actual gameplay
Robert Baker
It doesn't need to be useful to be fun.
Tyler Campbell
literally the biggest try hard game I've ever played, just take philosophy 101 and don't drop out this time. Weebs are literal brainlets in all facets, and this game and discussions about it prove that fact time and time again
Easton Flores
Can I get this from a philosophy class?
Dominic Sullivan
it's flawed but the more I look back at it the more I like it and I want to fuck toobie
Jacob White
It's a game with many flaws. Performance issues, crashes, bugs and subpar graphics for its generation.
But at the same time, there are so many great things about it, some that may be things you wouldn't expect from a game. It's a product of love, Taro put his heart into making it and you can feel it in every side quest, every character, every location, every piece of its soundtrack. It manages to be a game that by the end is an experience worth more than the sum of its parts. And to experience that you have to go into this game with an open mind, let yourself be absorbed by it, maybe even ignore some of its flaws, and ultimately try to have fun with it.
It can be a life changing experience if played truthfully, but if you go into it with the pseudo game journalist mindset that plagues Any Forums these days, you're gonna comepletely miss everything it has to offer.
It's one of the few games these days that have not a soul, but a heart. One that beats so hard, it makes every flaw surrounding it fade away.

>duh uh acushually it's just philosophy for retards, okay
I literally see this every thread and nobody can explain exactly what this means besides Taro not jerking off their favorite underground stoic
Ryan Cox
Yes it has glaring flaws, notably the combat and pacing and repetitive, shallow tasks are all objectively awful.
Zachary Lopez
Typical "I am so smart" brainlet trying to flex. You are like little baby.
Ethan Garcia
There is no such thing as a flawless game, nor does a game have to be flawless for it to be a masterpiece.
I’d say Automata is one of the best games ever made, especially in terms of how it utilizes the intrinsic qualities of games as an artistic medium to convey its medium. Many games heralded for having amazing stories could be, if given the proper care, adapted into books or films and achieved a similar if not the same effect as the original work. I cannot say the same for Automata
James Brooks
You objectively got filtered.
Owen Morales
>*convey its message
I really should be sleeping right now
Nicholas Powell
It's the only game where EVERY SINGLE SIDEQUEST connects back thematically with the main storyline. Every one contains useful information and foreshadowing. Most games are like to throw in stuff for filler.
Parker Martin
mfw square greenlit a anime adaptation of Automata
it's gonna suck so much ass, it's impossible to adapt this shit
Carson Rodriguez
I regret not doing the sidequests.
Jonathan Wright
>Performance issues, crashes, bugs and subpar graphics for its generation.
worked on my machine
people saying the game looks bad are just grasping at straws too, it looks good and is probably the best looking Japanese game overall

There's some flaws to the game. You can tell where the budget is lacking. But I don't think these small flaws take away from the overall experience.
In regards to combat, it's as good as you make it. You can mash Square forever or actually do weapon switching and air combos and use your pod abilities and so on. It's your choice.
Benjamin Price
Based user.
Parker Sanders
What is this supposed to prove? It's good because there's a bunch of balls coming at you?
Connor Clark
>combat

James Cook
Yeah, it didn't work for the majority of people tho. The port is terrible, like most Japanese ports for that matter.
I didn't care tho, it was the first game in years that made me ignore its issues, and I loved it all the way through regardless of every shit it threw at me.
Nolan Diaz
Biggest flaw is the devs have to beg people to play more to get more endings
Aiden Powell
It's gonna be another route user, it's 100% going to be completely different and lead into Taro's next console title
Luke Bell
>glaring flaws?
Texture resolution
Jace Russell
They literally added that in a patch because 50% of the reviewers thought that ending A was the end of the entire game, they aren't beginning people to play
John Ramirez
Games are not little silly things because of the industry budgets, not some sob story about whore robots.
Brody Roberts
cope
Jack Lee
Nice projection kek
Luis Brown
I can't imagine how anyone could beat "ending" A and thinking that was the whole game. There was no story, just things happening. Jesus Christ people.
Liam Williams
>projection
you obviously don't even know what that means
Lincoln Taylor
>Typical "I am so smart" brainlet trying to flex. You are like little baby.
learn english, then learn philosophy, then play better games
Wyatt Sanders
>literally coping
>tells others to cope
yea you be projectin aight
Austin Peterson
please explain in detail how I am coping user, I'm really interested to hear this one
Kevin Johnson
>learn english
Just shut up already you dumb fucking newfaggot, you are embarrassing yourself
Sebastian Anderson
>you just didn't play it right!!!
what a fucking shitty post, also the sidequest were all garbage fetch/kill quests.
Adam Peterson
You browse Any Forums and still underestimate the stupidity of the average gamer?
There's a reason this game has low completion rates.
Liam Powell
wait you could do that?
Ryan Phillips
Is taro gonna be involved in the anime? If he is I bet its just as "consultant"
Brayden Torres
Defend it then. Prove it's good.
Carson Butler
Simple, by telling others to cope. You, in fact are coping. Dare I say, you are seething as well? Malding perhaps?
Jackson Reed
>embarrassing yourself
you are the one spergging out here kek
Jackson Jackson
It's an unabashed masterpiece and there are glaring flaws
Jeremiah Walker
>y-y-you just ARE OKAY!
thought so
Christian Lopez
Hi, pseudo game journo. Nice of you to reply. You're so good at it, you also missed what my shitpost was trying to say.
>also the sidequest were all garbage fetch/kill quests.
You didn't play even a quarter of them if that's what you think.
