the prologue makes me feel like i'm trapped in a never ending spiral of life and death

I'm about to do the intro for the third time because i keep dying, on normal mode

I'm playing this on hard mode, and this game is relatively easy to pick up but christ almighty I keep dying to that first boss. And the fact it takes you all the way back to the first cutscene is pretty annoying tbh. You're incredible at this game!

Bro i finish sekiro and all darksouls And so many hard games but the first boss in hard is wtf the slide atack is oneshot and the hitbox y bigger than jupiter

Lol i tried to do the game on hard and i got one-shotted like three times on prologue before realizing how tideous this would be to do the whole story on that difficulty.

Wow. Prologue on Hard is already kicking my ass. 16:38 = WTF?!

man I died like 8 times here on hard mode, I couldn't handle it anymore and switched to normal difficulty lol. Finished it first try.

Very nice!! I tried on hard couple times but always failed lol

damm great job

Normally I would play this hard, but combined with the unforgiving nature of the intro and bit of clunkiness and stiffness, I decided to play it on easy. Got tired of going back to the beginning and there's still more enemies after the initial boss with the saw.

He's a god not a man!

I am trying to figure out the sword combo used in this, it seems to do much more damage than my standard X X X Y Y Y.

I'm sorry to say, but you've been hit in 20:15...

Ok I read a better article or translation of this grimoire book the creator made. I googled and finally found the best explanation! Other words I was right. To many loose ends and not enough to make sense of the fact they were making replicants nonstop and they weren't 1312 years old. The game didnt put enough to answer many questions. Quote from the creator...Toko Taro, said that he wanted the game to be about Nier's struggle in finding his daughter, rather than being about the entire history and story of the world in the wake of the devastation caused by Drakengard 1's Ending E(or the entire story making more sense in Nier). He didnt plan on us asking so many questions due to his crazy no telling game. So to appease our questions he wrote the grimoire book. Ok! Now this makes sense! But its forced and he didnt actually put this in the game. He had to devise this and make it work for us to better understand the whole concept of the game. Yeah he didnt want us to ask questions and just concentrate on the father and daughter...what being human is and what a father is willing to do to save their child. See this is prime example of why I say put in a beginning middle and end that fully explains everything! It's like Dark souls as example. So much more hidden what and why and the game doesnt detail really anything. Hidden lore or items in bloodborne explain some but not all. So we are left to come up with our own theories. I also hate when they make a good game but has no sense to the point the world asks what?! So the creators then have to fill in dots that were never actually there. Anyways I now understand that original gestalt nier forced everything cause he was tired of waiting for a cure. They made the 2nd book but the book didnt have all its memories. So now team clone vs team gestalt is on!

Automata is such a badass sequel to the original NieR

Are you serious the prologue is that long without any autosave, I'm even playing in Hard difficulty. :(

Nice control

Noooo I died right at the end oh nyooo

if you want to dodge the enemy you just press evade button 1 time, not holding it ?

Did you finish the entire game on very hard?

Que mierda tan épica fue esa!!!

Я просто скачал из интернета сохранение с пройденным прологом. 200 iq.

How did you do that on 5:17?

This game man, on Hard mode is so easy, but Very hard is torture, literally 7 hours just to past this prologue lol

Everything one shots you on this difficulty ?

Я разбирался в управлении на мыши с клавой долго, и походу это нормально, но пролог я прошёл со второго раза на нормале, не понимаю откуда у людей такие проблемы. Может не надо себя переоценивать и ставить высокие уровни сложности? 😂 Какой смысл стопорить себя на каком-то этапе чисто из-за сложности, если игра цепляет атмосферой, саундом и сюжетом? Если где-то застрять, не насладишься дальше тогда

The Strong attack destroys enemy proyectiles??? This game doesn't teach you anything! Lol

Great game, but it leaves a bad first impression. I can see why they put one of the endings at the beginning of the game, but the fact it doesn't give you checkpoints AT ALL is just cheap! Why not just show us the ending and then ask us if we want to try again?! This is making Driver's tutorial look like World 1-1!
