The Boss Fights of NieR: Automata Ranked from Worst to Best

Рет қаралды 1,786

Күн бұрын

NieR: Automata is a game that means something different to everybody. Some see a fun yet thought provoking game about what defines humanity, and how we cope with the purposelessness of existence. Yoko Taro sees hot girls to spank his salmon to. Cosplayers see an infinite money glitch that operates precisely because of people like Yoko Taro. Regardless of who you are it's a worthwhile experience to play all the way through at least once, and it remains in my top 5 (maybe even 3(?)) games of all time to this day.
NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines.

The song Grandma (Destruction) is a remixed version of a song from NieR: Gestalt/Replicant called Grandma, it makes a lot of sense there but I don't really understand its significance in Automata apart from just being a cool reference. Maybe there's some lore reason but I don't know it.

@Cytonox 5 ай бұрын

That's the extent of my knowledge also, and probably the correct answer. Before I knew anything about replicant it made absolutely no sense though

@SpinnyTard 5 ай бұрын

it’s about Kaine’s grandmother in Replicant it has no relevance in automata it’s just a good song

@SpinnyTard 5 ай бұрын

The only songs that were referencing Replicant’s story were Song of Ancients and Emil’s theme

@Cytonox 5 ай бұрын

For some reason Hegel uses Emil's theme I noticed which is kinda funny@@SpinnyTard

Thank you for rankig Hegel in the place he deserves. Absolutely the worst boss fight in the entire game.

This is still in the ever expanding backlog of games I haven't gotten to you yet. It totally looks like my kind of thing though so it's just a matter of when. Do you think you'll be doing a ranking of the P3R bosses?

NieR Automata is a masterpiece that meshes either larger than life bosses, or pretty men/women(Adam & Eve, A2), and tragic stories surrounding the cast's insanity, suffering, bonds, and questions about a broken world being restored after it was further damaged by machines(androids in Route D & E). Remains one of my favorite games of all time next to DMC3, DMC5, Bayo 1, 2, & 3, the Xenoblade saga, Zelda Breath of the Wild, KH1 and KH2, FFVII/Remake/Rebirth, among others.

It's disappointing that so many think Nier Automata is about hot android cheeks and dismiss it as some horny game. Very few games had me so invested in the story. MGS1&2, Spec Ops The Line, Metro series etc. Getting ending (spoiler) blind just left me in tears of relief/sadness. Only game I think I bought the soundtrack to as well.

Great video, Alex! NieR: Automata is a phenomenal game and has one of my favorite stories in gaming, probably only behind Planescape: Torment, Disco Elysium, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, and Final Fantasy Tactics. I also love RPGs that cover events from multiple perspectives, and NieR: Automata is one of the best in that regard, too, alongside Odin Sphere Leifthrasir (another title with an incredible endgame), Ys Origin, and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. My favorite boss is actually Ko-Shi & Ro-Shi. It's such an outstanding climactic fight that seamlessly switches back and forth between the two perspectives before merging the two battles at the end. Beauvoir is a close second for me, though. Also, I absolutely agree with Hegel being the worst. That battle was incredibly tedious and the low-point of the entire game for me. Anyway, I'm enjoying your content as always and look forward to your future uploads!

@Cytonox 5 ай бұрын

I ought to play some of those, I’d be interested in trying ff tactics especially. I hear it’s rather inaccessible these days, though

@rpgfan1187 5 ай бұрын

@@Cytonox Yeah, FF Tactics was only ever released for PS1 (where the dialogue was poorly translated) and the PSP (the definite version imo). It's also not to be confused with the Tactics Advance games, which are completely separate and have stories more geared towards kids.

@rpgfan1187 5 ай бұрын

@@Cytonox Also, if you're interested in trying out the Ys series, Ys Origin is a good place to start. It was my introduction to the franchise and is still one of the best in my opinion. I know it's at least available on the PlayStation Store, as well as Steam. That game probably has the overall best dungeon and boss rosters of the series, and the entire game takes place in one giant dungeon with different thematic tiers (water, fire, desert, etc.). It is a game that requires you to play through three different routes (each with a different character) in order to get the whole story, but it's definitely a great Action JRPG with an absolute banger OST. Highly recommended if you get the chance.

About that Hagel fight. I actually like it. Been a couple of years since I played the game. There is a pod ability that pulls you toward enemies. Including airborne ones. I used that to melee him while in the air. Makes the fight more enjoyable.
