Who else had this show up in your recommended for no reason and only clicked to see the comments roasting this guy for the title

Summary: 1: He doesn't like how the robots look 2: He doesn't like the art style of the game 3: There are invisible walls in this video game 4: His dusty ass ps4 is loud 5: He thinks the enemies are too difficult 6: He doesn't like that the story-line enemies have cutscenes 7: He doesn't want more replay value 8: He complains about the other endings without actually playing any of them

Homie saying the combat is simple and lacking while getting his butt handed to him while getting saved by auto-heal 🤣. L + ratio

No idea why the algorythm decided to show me the worst take possible out of nowhere

bosses are all giants balls ... proceedes to show footage of a humanoid boss

I can't tell if this is a big joke or if he genuinely feels this way. Assuming he does feel this way he has missed the mark on every regard.

Oh, he was serious lol

This comment section is absolute cancer

Complaining that the 12,000 year old buildings don’t have rooms. Wow.

This was a shallow review... In my first playthtrough I was rating the game like an "OK game", but them when I started playing route B, route C, and then getting the E ending, man, I thought to myself, "this is one of the best games I've ever played!!!". Despite the technical limitations, like constantly frames drops and other issues, this game IS SO UNIQUE, it really deserves all the praise!!!

This is one of the best games I've ever played. If you think the machine characters are oversimplified and the world seems dead, you just don't understand the story and probably have no artistic nor emotional depth.

man is mad he got his soul torn out by the story

the point on the robots design is stupid that was so obviously intentional and imo worked very well to contrast the androids despite being basically the same

Why did the algorithm show this to me?

Nier Automata is one of my favorite games and while I disagree with most of your points (although the invisible walls are VERY annoying), this is your opinion of the game and I have no right to judge it. I'm just dissapointed that someone could not have the same rewarding experience with Automata that I did.

Bro it's not the dev's problem that you got one hell of a dirty ass ps4 with clogged fans

But the reason why the robots looks that way is because they were mass produced in a factory automatically, this guy shouldn’t be playing jrpgs at all, he’s just finding things to pick on in every aspect of the game just to be against the crowd

The review is whatever, people will have their own opinions. Spoiling the story though is a sad move for any video whether the game is good or not, shame on you

If you didn't like the game that's cool but to very poorly explain why you don't and then say it's an outright bad game with little to no valid critique of why it is or isn't is bad faith. If you plan on making youtube a thing you do regularly and seriously especially any sort of review of games try to put more effort and though behind you writing and thoughts.

If you came here to watch this before you've played Nier:Automata, then MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT! He does not care to hold back vital inormation that is best enjoyed in the game - steer away!

Welp, i'm here just wanna see the comments...

And guys this is how to miss a whole point of a game

While some points are sort of valid (like dull design of enemies or the city ruins) i think that was made on purpose to achieve the atmosphere. You are just plain wrong about the story though. It truly is a shame that you didnt get touched by it like most of us did. I just found this gem of a game, hance why I watch and get recommended a lot of videos about it. Sure it has some flaws but It's absolutely one of the best games and most profound stories I've ever experienced.

I was successfully clickbaited. Bros is this guy wrong? Yes he is, absolutely this was an objectively bad review for a game I myself literally only finished a few days ago that I really liked. But some of you need to cool it, seriously you make us look like toxic fans that will shut down anyone that criticizes the game. (I’m referring to those that are resorting to name calling such as “delete the video loser”). There are a lot of people here that pointed out the bs well and I will commend you for it though!

The reason the androids look like that, is because they're some sort of reference to Emil from the previous nier games.

never seen anyone be so wrong tbh and i have a twitter account

Are you trolling

OK. let me summarize: In the first half of this video, the creator tells us that the graphics aren't great and that you have to grind too much because of the extra endings. In the second half he gets angry that the cutscenes after the fights don't match the fights and says the story is bad because the statement "emotions are forbidden" is broken right in the first few minutes of the game and because inanimate objects (So everything in the game) should be emotionally tied to the player. Here is my review to this Video: 1. Graphics are bad = True 2. Grinding is there = True 3. Cutscenes do not match the fights = True 4. Nobody lives and we should be emotional for inanimate objects = True 5. You did not understand how this game works = True 6. Every Yoko Taro Game are having this problems = True 7. People love Yoko Taro games = True 8. They are probably all idiots = probably true 7. This test video is bad = kinda

2 years too late but hold this L bud

Last night i watched a movie. Font chosen for titles was bad. I didn't like the accent of the store clerk. Main character had bad looking shoes. It was a bad movie.

Omg I can counter almost all ur points💀🤣 1. Only the base enemies or side characters r simple plus the machines were mostly based on emil 2. The invisible barriers, r so u don't wander off or die in a random spot like the stairs that lead to no where which u wanted to go 3. Only 2 bosses were that ball thing and the Engels bosses while the others bosses like Adam and eve or even Simone were original 4. The replaying part is one time and while I do not like it u can play the rest of the game if u just start it up again u only replay the first part 1 time 6. The game tricks u into thinking this a transhumanist tale after playing route A and B but towards the end the actual meaning makes sense u just didn't understand it

dislike ratio is 412 to 1300dislikes

I'll just try to adress a few points in the video in no particular order: If you think the combat system lacks depth, I strongly encourage you to check out "donguri". Why is it ridiculous to sympathize with machines and androids? Every single video game character is just a bunch of pixels. Every book character is a bunch of words. Do you have trouble sympathizing with Po from Kung Fu Panda or Wall-E just because they aren't human? The visual design is simplistic, I'll give you that. I do think a lot of areas look bland. But I also think that several areas look very nice. And areas such as the Tower and The Copied City are intentionally minimalist. I don't think the Machines have bad designs just because they're simplistic. Some of the larger Machine designs are actually quite creative as most of them include Stubbies somewhere on their body. That's not bad, that's just consistent and clever, building upon what already exists. There is a good number of bosses that are just balls with lasers. But they all have different mechanics and there's plenty of other bosses that are different. And when it comes to the game "robbing you of the satisfaction of defeating them", that's a *you* problem much like most of the points made in this video. I beat up the boss, I survived, I progressed the story, I leveled up. That's satisfying to me. The game does disable fast travel during a few missions. I don't think that's an issue since the map isn't that big, there're animals for faster travel and there's usually something along the way to your destination. As you poorly explained, the game does make you replay 80% of the same content with 9S. The other 20% being 9S-unique things and added context. But then you made it sound like Route C and D do the same thing, making you replay the same sections which is just straight up false. "Grinding is useless since the enemies are always going to be a couple levels higher." Once again, false. There were many points in my playthrough where I was the same or higher level than the enemies. I didn't even need to grind. I just finished side quests.

I Cannot Lie...I would have loved to investigate rooms in most buildings or I would have liked to seen more variations in the robot enemies besides a ball and a garbage can body but, to me its still a masterpiece and an emotional roller coaster, especially the true end of the story and the credits. To be such a successful game with high marks across the board,I was interested in what the haters thought about my favorite game. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Salute.......

video games are interactive…i dont get why reading is incompatible with that. thats like saying ‘why am i looking at animations and stuff in a video game, if i wanted to watch animated characters doing stuff id rather watch a movie.’ video games add interactivity to other more rigid mediums like books or movies. you still read and watch.

OK buckle up people because I’m gonna counter every thing he says. Also, I don’t expect him to read all this since he’d “rather read a book.” Also only read this if you are interested, it’s pretty long. 1. The character designs are perfect not just for the androids, but also the machines. There’s nothing wrong with simplistic designs and obviously he overlook the fact that some of them are wearing outfits. 2. Yeah, they reused buildings… What’s your point, every video game reuses assets and while I will agree it is less subtle in Nier: Automata I don’t understand how this minor aspect is something that bother’s you to the point where you don’t like the game. 3. An invisible wall is nothing new. It’s literally presents in every game and it’s not even just for the edge of the map or a clift of some sort. It’s also present in the main world of other games but it’s such a minor issue and if that bothers you that much, then that’s just petty 4. I always hear people complaining about the PlayStation fan and yes, it is loud, but there is a fix to that… Turn up your volume, headphones, or just don’t play the game at all. I understand that a consoles fan can be very annoying, especially on the PlayStation, but would you rather have a game with terrible graphics but it barely affects the cooling system, or would you rather have a game with beautiful graphics, beautiful art style, and a somewhat louder fan (personally, the PlayStation fan doesn’t bother me) 5. Now, the combat is interesting because there is a wide variety of attacks you can perform and link combos with it’s not just a light attack spamming game with an occasional heavy attack. It’s much more than that and much more complex and once you actually get the combat down, it is more fun than you would think. you can’t just spam a button and say the combat is terrible in a game. if you really do think the combat is boring then how about you play it on hard or better yet very hard difficulty. 6. Ok that this is absolutely bull crap. if you don’t like reading so much, then don’t play the game. In fact, reading is present in some of the most recognized and sought after games of all time. It’s not the developers fault that you don’t want to read and learn the story. As for the voice dialogue, it’s mainly present in dialogue that relates to the main story of the game. Every other piece of dialogue is just for quest and stuff that’s not as vital or important to the story. 7. As for the bosses, not all of them are the big sphere Goliath’s. To be honest I don’t understand what gives you the impression that literally every boss is the same exact enemy but that’s beyond me, and who cares if you yourself don’t get the finishing blow. If you beat the boss and get the cutscene, then you beat the boss and get the cutscene. all people wanna do is beat the boss and guess what the cutscene indicates that you either beat them or you enter their next phase. If you really wanted to fight a hard boss and finish them off yourself then there are plenty of other games out there where you can do exact that. 8. …OK to be honest I don’t even know what game you’re playing anymore. Of course they’re going to send multiple waves of enemies at you. That’s how the game works and it wants you to fight the enemies so you can progress, level up, and give you resources. This is all for your benefits and sometimes you can even just run past enemies and not have to attack them. Sometimes it’s mandatory sometimes it’s not and believe me it is not hard to figure out if it’s mandatory or not. Also, it’s not always going to be straightforward. Sometimes It’ll throw enemies at you that you have to maneuver in order to defeat and that’s what makes the gameplay more fun. 9. The story is depressing… and yet, you want to degrade it for being like that. You’re calling one of the main protagonist dying spilled milk? You’re calling another protagonist, saving one of the other protagonist and then leaving herself to die so she can be with her fallen partners a broken toaster? Or how about the fact that you play as two characters throughout two journey but instead of both of them being mirrored, you get to see both sides of the story? Pity So, as you can see, none of his reasons can barely stand on their own if not at all. The reason for him hating this game is just because he wants to. His reasons are so incompetent and outrageous and could literally be used on so many other games for those of you who love the game. I love it as well and I’m happy we can show our appreciation for this game. And for those of you who don’t like it try to have a little bit of fun. Remember it’s OK to have your own opinion. It’s OK to not like things and you are definitely entitled to your own criticism but at least make your criticism make sense.

Don't shit on his face, people, this is clearly ironic... he said that the game was not optimized on PS4 while always maintaining at 60 FPS, he's messing with fans

I’m proud of the amount of dislikes this video has🥱

I wonder… it’s almost as if the devs intended half of the shit you complained about and it actually fit with what the story was trying to tell and that the overall message of the game is actually positive, but ig you can have a wrong opinion 🤷‍♀️

y'all this is bait💀

I'm convinced this dude is trolling

Bro mad at buildings which were deserted 9000 years prior

"The atmosphere is lacking". "The developers didn't care to optimise their game" "The combat is lacking unlike beat em ups and hack and slash" I stopped watching after you said the last part, because you either A) Only played the first 2 hours of the game B) Didn't understand you're playing a Role Playing Game with a lot of character development C) Don't have any prior knowledge of the world of Nier and what happened to it D) Just want to shit on something a lot of people love, to be "That Guy" All in all, i would give this review a IGN/10

Though I appreciate a different point of view on any game, I feel this review doesn't deliver a solid criticism on the game for some reasons that I'm going to write down. * When discusing about the desings of the other characters, please show your audience some of the designs in the game and compare them to those designs from other games you think they look better, and, if you're specialized in the field of desing or anything related, or you've heard or read about this topic, bring up points that can make your opinions solid. * Though the map in general feel lifeless and empty, invaded in some places by invisible walls, this section felt like it was solely a criticism to the hub of the game (the City Ruins), but what about the other areas of the map? What did you think of them? Because again, I have no clue your target audience, but for someone that is totally new and has no clue of this game, this can feel like misinformation to make them think that the whole map is the City Ruins. * Don't asume everyone knows what you mean and what you like. I say that because, if someone (like me) has never played a "good" beat'em up, hack n' slash" game, and our only exposition to those genres is this game, though one can google it, mostly you'll base yourself from the review you're watching or reading, so try to give examples of those games you think are better than NieR: Automata, so your audience know, first off, other titles similar to Automata, and second, those that are way better than what they played or were about to play. * If it's you who was playing on the bosses section, I think a part of this boredom or dislike for the bosses can do with the game itself, but the other half has to do with the player not trying or putting some effort to understand the game mechanics. * At least on Easy mode, there is no grinding required. Even as a low level player I could complete the whole Route A (16+ hours on the game right now) like that, and even skipping minions I didn't feel like fighting. * At least on Steam, most players who have played the game on PC have 39+ hours in the game. If you're going just for the story, it's less that 100 hrs. I truly wish to know where did you get that information. * And for thr time being, that's the criticism I have for this video. I thank you for having a different point of view from a game I think isn't that bad, but I hope you can follow some of the things I discuse here.

The comments are eating this dude alive lmao

The gameplay criticism is valid I'd say. Nier Fans too far gone to realize that the game has heavy flaws but your last point about the narrative collapsing is wrong. The story is the strongest point about this game and mostly well written so you should probably look into this more and pay attention while playing before talking about the story and characters

i can only agree with invisible wall and graphic design but i still think its a great game

While I understand Yoko Taros work, and how much of his story writing relies on symbolism and interpretation, i didnt get that feeling here. The whole "playthrough the game multiple times" bit was just strange. I didnt understand the point of playing the same story over again as 9S after playing as 2B. It didnt add anything to the game, just left me frustrated. While I understand a lot of the messages and symbolism in the game, I think I'd be more inclined to feel something if the characters weren't so inconsistent. 2B as a character was extremely shallow during the first playthrough, and once she finally becomes interesting as a character she dies off. 9S was initially very interesting as he seemed to question the reasoning behind what they were doing as Yorha. Its a shame after 2B dies his whole philosophy devolves into "i want to kill everything around me since nothing matters". A2 was an interesting character but we don't get to see enough of her to really understand her intentions. And yes I understand if you go through all of the side quests you see more dialogue, but I played through all of them and felt like I was learning more about world than the characters. I find a lot of the themes presented come off as less philosophically sound and more pretentious than anything.

Being a hater doesn't make u interesting🫡

I think you would get less pushback if you worded your title differently. The game regardless if you think it or not is a fantastic game that the industry has celebrated; so saying that it is a bad game is disingenuous.

You just wanted to be a contrarian huh. “Everybody likes this so I’m gonna say it’s bad just because”

"the enemies are always going to be a couple levels above your level ?" no some enemies are static such as story once but most have a static level, broke the game early on by fighting where adam was born, and found I was always too high level for most of the game.

Never thought I'd see an example of a wrong opinion but...here we are.

Superficial and very subjective.

My first dislike on KZfaq goes to you. Congrats.

Its not for everybody obiviously, but spoiling because you did not like the game was such a bad move buddy.

2B: "Emotions are forbidden" 5 minutes later... 2B: "won't you just DIE ALREADY!!!"

5:55 Oh no! I have to read in a video game??? I have a monkey brain and can’t comprehend words! Me angry 😡!

This was the guy that complained about the crust on his sandwich

100hrs worth of a masterpiece

I tried not to criticise your take as its always good to understand people fully who don't share your view on something but I have to day that a lot of this is just you not understanding what you are seeing or just fundamentally not understanding video games as a medium. Thank you for sharing your opinion but I'm afraid I can't agree with almost any point.

The enemy design makes sense and is pretty effective in my opinion. Such simple, clunky designs make it easier to separate them from androids and dehumanise them, they're somewhere between cute and creepy, and overall a blank slate for the player to interpretate how they like. Also them being bulky and rounded helps with visual clarity, especially during shoot em up sections. The eyes make for a convenient 'tell' for their attacks too. As much as I love rad mech designs, it'd be kinda lost on the hoardes of basic enemies.

for anybody who wonders likes are 544, dislikes are 1671

First the world looks dead because the story is sad the gameplay starts fun but get repetitive so you feel how the character does (killing doesn't feel good) you complain that the story is bad because you have to read (are you fucking for real right now) then after not reading half of what's going on you then criticize the story for wanting you to be emotionally invested in the characters you point out how the characters despite being robots have very real and realized emotion and live in a depressing world but then say feeling empathy for other people when they are in a hopless situation is pathetic you say bosses that are finished off with cutscenes are bad but if they didn't you definitely would complain about that you say how it makes the fighting pointless but since you weren't paying attention to or read half of the story you completely miss that "everything I'm trying to accomplish doesn't matter" is kind of the central theme of the game by the way there are vertical horizontal diagonal and twin stick shooter sections including the hacking as well as top down and sidecroller fighting sections as well as standard 3D fighting sections that seems pretty varied to me the robots look like that they're supposed to be cute like you want to kill them playing from the start as 9S redoing the same thing is a chore its supposed to be that way because again this is depressing game that makes you feel you can't win and it's all pointless it uses the game so can feel it you say invisible walls break immersion but you didn't read half of the story and being empathetic is robots is bad so how fucking immersed could possibly be in the first place you criticize them saying they aren't allowed to feel emotions but then they do missing the message about the folly of bottling up emotions because spill out in unhealthy was hurting not just others but yourself in the process these are the reasons why everything you is incorrect did we play the same game

The machines are, i think, intended to look overly simplified compared to the androids. Alien (or simplistic) in form, but familiar in their assimilation of human behaviors. A contrast. They are no different, comparatively, to the androids. But while the androids are encouraged within the game's narrative to suppress human emotion and behavior, the machines embrace it. Everything pressed to this disk serves a purpose. Every bit and byte (I can't defend invisible walls, but i'm sruggling to remember a time i noticed them in N:A ). I'll concede: in terms of a "game," Nier: Automata is bad... by definition. *BUT* in terms of a narrative or storytelling perspective, Nier: Automata is the best "game" of the last 10 years. With regard to multiple playthroughs: Its about perspective. **storytelling** I don't know of any other way to phrase it. Played on x1x and PC. No loud fan problems or noticeable performance issues. Grinding levels and chips are a legit complaint. BUT chips and levels are not required for a complete playthrough. Changing the difficulty doesn't hamper players in any way... Grinding upgrade materials, however is needed if you want to see 100% of N:A's content. I really don't want to boil down your eleven and a half minute "review" of a 60 hour game to "nah" (assuming you were being objective) but Nah. Nah, bro. EDIT: *YOu* may not have liked it, but it is not a bad game. Like, not even a little.

the video is not that well informed but this comment section is absolutely filthy lmao, props to you for not disabling it.

Bro really said the game should be optimized so the ps4 won't be screeching like an airport, bro have you seen fucking 2019 mw. Or any other AAA game,

Okay All your complains are intentional but the creator because this world is supposed to be dull It just seems to me this game isn't for you not that it is a bad game

So... You talk about Nier... But don't say a word about the story of the game? Like really? What's next? Will you review Elden Ring and only talk about the Lore and never talk about the gameplay?

I was so excited for this game and while playing it, I was genuinely sure it could be one of my favorite games of all time. I’m not into the colors of the game, they are pretty dull for me. But after all was said and done, it ended up falling apart for me. I played it on my steam deck and it maintained 60 FPS, the entire time, happily. But the world is so small, and I’m really not a fan of going to the same places over and over and over again. It felt empty. Once the 20 hour mark hit, I was mindblown route C, and was ready for the game to open up and the story to truly begin. Only 6 hours later, I had all endings minus Y, and I felt no desire to collect and upgrade all weapons. Not only that, but the combat just didn’t feel interesting enough despite all of the cool animations. The characters and concepts were cool, but I didn’t feel they were used to their full potential. Oh, and I was into the shooter segments when they first came up, but doing them so much really had me tired of them-I did not like 9S’s gameplay. I also felt we could have gotten way more of A2, her rebellious nature turned to “I must help the machines” incredibly fast. Finally, I wasn’t a fan of how you very rarely collected weapons and I never once used my materials for everything and made it through the game just fine. And while the soundtrack was legendary, it isn’t enough to save a game for me. In the end, the game was only a 6/10 for me. I’m happy everyone else loves it as much as they do, though!

Ahhh yes worst Game. Thanks for the Clickbait YT

Good summary of bads in NA, sounds honest and on-point, therefore get my upvote. But I still like the game. It's very well made, has great attention to detail, and I find the process of playing very meditative. Also, on my second playthrough (after I deleted the saves) I actually bothered with the side quests and 2B was like level 45 before the series of final Whatever-Chi + Adam/Eve boss battles - that made those battles quite brief and non-annoying (because I spam all buttons and bosses eventally die). What really annoys me is 2 things: 1) Female characters have HUGE feet, like ski-sized, when I saw it, I cannot now unsee it. I understand that is required to make their feet visible on-screen, but still. 2) Game is totally unenjoyable on hard or more-than-hard difficulties, it's totally unforgiving and spoils all fun. Otherwise I find NA's combat quite satisfying.

Dude have you played the game?

Looks like someone had an existential crisis.

Missing the point: the video

Woah u weren't joking ? Lol wtf

Most of the criticism in this video is boiled down to i dislike the design choice. There was a few valid points the buildings with invisible walls is the most accurate none troll critique. But really you complain about designs that were designed from that way as a style. I dislike final fantasy 9 but I don't think its a bad game its design was just not for me. I didn't like the characters designs and animation and it pulled me out of the narrative. The storytelling in the game was interesting to me the second playthrough was the least interesting however some of the insight from another characters perspective were really great and provided insight to the narrative that they are evolving. Your explanation of the 3rd playthrough couldn't be more inaccurate. It was not playing through the same story again at all the events your main character died in the first 30 minutes it was more like empire strikes back this is the playthrough designed to do all of the bad things you couldn't believe they did. The levels bosses and characters were all dramatically different in a chilling way. Your welcome to not like the design but your calling it bad is like saying a van gogh painting is bad because you dislike the style he painted. There is a difference between not for you and bad and I can't help but feel you got confused on that.

It's fine that you don't enjoy the game. But to classify it as a "bad" game, when there are legitimately atrocious games out there is just ridiculous.

im sure a huge part of why people like this game is how the main character 2B looks like

Imagine how bad would be being dumb enough to judge a game bad just for not liking the graphics.

Nahh it may not be the best game out there or of its time or at least in the year it was released but it is a good game its not as shit as you portray it to be

Alot of these points while true, I find to be more nitpicking that anything. These are flaws the game makes up for in other areas. No game is perfect. If a 10/10 game for you is a perfect game with no flaws, then you will often be disappointed.

Feels like you’re unloading some life frustrations…or other game frustrations on this game. If your thing is graphics and kills, you’re better off taking a modern FPS instead lol. You just didn’t get the fact that this game is about STORY, the graphics, the gameplay, the NPC designs, the boss mechanics, that’s just a vehicle for the rich story Taro packed in it. Can’t believe someone with just 131 subs managed to hack in my suggested videos…What a waste of time.

Tell us you are contrarian just to be contrarian without telling us directly

Ok I’m two years late, but how you gonna play this fire ass sound track and try and talk bad about the game. 🤦🏾‍♂️

This guy really mad about invisible walls that block him from going the wrong way. I get you want to explore but isn’t it kinda saving your time by blocking you from going into areas with nothing there? Also play red dead 2 and tell me the how those fans sound.

I'd like to take a moment to welcome you to your 1st Yoko Toro game. I am currently on my 2nd play through and am consistently 4 levels above all the enemies. It's true there's 40 unique weapons in the game most of them aren't very good there's a tear system to it to it so get a good weapon or 2 &:find out which ones are superior. But in all seriousness in your 1st play through don't even buy weapons just focus on the memory of memory upgrades get the 24 then the 16sthen the 8s once that's all done save your money and work on unlocking The Secret shops. You can start buying weapons your 2nd play through as for needing recovery items sure you can buy a few but a vosa filmed but I've also found that if you're exploring the way you're meant to recovery items are often either dropped or hidden in chests frequently enough that you really shouldn't need to buy them very often unless you truly don't Understand how to play the game. As for the story well it's a philosophical one it's a tough 1 it's a lesson on how to deal with the nihilism of the world. And in this world I'd get a friend you're going to need it just like in the real world.

go play fortnite i'ts better for you

I'm not a fan of the game either, I like the character design, some of the gameplay design but you're right on the level design, the enemy design for the minions are repetitive . I had fun until I realized the game likes to level lock thing. There was a side quest you find some robot that is weak at first and then he becomes OP where you need to be level 40 but at that stage you would be level 20+. He only needs to hit u once as it's an insta kill. I hate that they show the quest even if you're underleveled by 20+. I'm not a fan of grinding game whether it's destiny, division or most jrpgs where you're forced to grind, If i feel the grind, that's when i start hating the game, the grind shouldn't be noticeable. I should be distracted by everything else, I think the game that does that best is nioh 1 and 2, combat so fun and addicting, i don't even care what level i'm at, the level progression felt natural, plus co-op made the grind even less noticeable. I think what nioh did amazing was making crazy builds was possible and you could beat the bosses so easily if you know how to make your build, felt so different and crazy where endgame, you could beat a boss so easily. when I tried this game though, i really wanted to like this game but I got annoyed with how tanky the bosses are if you're underleveled. Keep in mind, I played a lot of souls like games. I would say this game was not my cup of tea. If you enjoy it, good for you.

The game was made on a small budget. The gameplay is the start of something new. This is what it looks like to be first.

I do feel kinda bad that this guy is forever gonna be known for his unpopular opinion

the nier fans in the comments are just throwing out a bunch of insults and can't elaborate, i love nier but honestly the people in these comments need to come up with sum that ain't just "you didn't play the game" or "you're stupid". He did actually point out valid criticism. Saying that the game has no flaws is kind of going against taros vision of his games. Automata was designed with these flaws and just cuz some of them are intentional doesn't mean people have to like them. Overall i think i disagree with a big bit of this review though.

I respect the fact you have a different opinion and dislike something that a lot of people love. But bro your arguments are poor.

Judging by the replies, the algorithm really seems to favor this video

Brother, I respect your opinion. I agree with many points you've mentioned. But, I believe you only mentioned the things this game is lacking. I believe the things that they have done right, far outweighs the things that are not so good. Things they have done right are so good and unique that I believe it is the best open world game I have ever played.

wow this review is so bad.

15 sec in and im still questionning myself like "how can someone have bad taste like that ?"

Man what I would give to see the dislikes on this trash opinion. 😂

I know this is satire but even though it's one of my favorite games of all time I genuinely had similar first impressions while playing and it took a good while for me to realize that most of said flaws are in fact intentional game design and so as much as I love Nier I can also see why someone might dislike it

I cannot tell if you're trolling but I'll say it anyways since some comments are probably unironic. NieR is supposed to be an insufferable experience, you are being punished for being a murderer, for continuing to kill the machines despite themselves showing themselves to be as human, showing themselves to be equally worthy of living as you are, yet you're still denying (Nier means to deny in french I believe) their humanity, This is literally a surface level analysis as well, anyone who's taken any form of literature in high school should be able to understand this lol
