What exactly is the appeal of this game?
>Boring, floaty combat, skull cracker/dark execution into fatal blow instantly kills 90% percent of the enemies, while everything else does pitiful damage in comparison. Hammering the dark blast button will shred virtually every boss.
>Everything about the story feels undercooked, both the plot and characters are melodramatic and uninteresting, and every attempt at an emotional payoff feels unearned.
>Braindead puzzle and dungeon design. A toddler could solve these.
>Tons of empty filler sidequests.
Am I missing something here? Do I have get all the endings before it gets good? Is automata better?

Eastern games are so bad that a mildly decent one has weebs shitting their palls.

Characters and music

I played Automata due to the hype and found it meh so I never bothered with the Replicant remake or any other Nier game.
Andrew Sanders
its a tranny game for the tranny crowd like persona and ff15

>characters and music
so literally 3d undertale gotcha

Pretty much this. It's one of the only Nip games that doesn't force you into a separate encounter when you come into contact with an overworld enemy before forcing you to slap it around for two and a half minutes before it finally dies so you can get three grains of sand for your crafting recipe.

I don't care about mainstream reception desu. Preodered the game, rollercoastered all endings in 3 days and had time of my life. I don't give a fuck what others think I had blast with it no other title was able to provide.

>>replay value
delete this part and I'll agree with you. Being forced to replay the game isn't value it's a curse.
Joseph Wilson
combat is fluid and fun with plenty of options

also the whole magic and 3d bullet-hell mechanics are pretty unique, there really aren't other games out there with combat like Nier's
if your issue is that you found something broken and using it "ruins" the combat for you, then stop being a retard and stop relying on it. Most action games (and most rpgs especially) have ways to cheese them, that doesn't mean you have to spam those things, you are just ruining your own fun.
>Everything about the story feels undercooked
how much of the story did you finish?
The game throws you very suddenly into everything and most explanations only come later (not just in the end of the game but also in the next playthroughs that alter things), but that's also part of the fun. You will get plenty of explainations why some characters are the way they are, and why the world the way it is.
I would suggest to at least finish the first and second playthrough (the second is just a half playthrough and alters a lot of things). You can totally ignore the sidequests if you are not interested in their storeis as they are only really required for the final endings.
>Is automata better?
it's very much the same

weebs think "no john you are the demons" is brilliant writing
Asher Hughes
It's one of the best games of gen7. Sorry to hear that you're some faggot late to the party.
Christian Butler
Certainly better than Great Gatsby, How to kill a Mockinbird or whatever else mutts consider to be literature.
Robert Turner
Nooo you don't get it its heckin philosophical and deep you just have to play a shitty hack and slash
game 3 times over to understand!
Ryan Sullivan
yes
Hunter Jones
that doesn't describe Nier's story in any way
I think you fell for some memes user

Shades being the true humans and Replicants killing them, on top of the Shadowlord twist is pretty much the "you are the demons" twist.
Luis Baker
there's no good or bad you brainlet
William Bailey
that's incorrect, and regardless there was no message or implication of you being evil for what you did, that's just not what the game was about
