It’s a shame but designs like that will keep me from ever trying a game. I only play a few hours a week. There’s no way I’m spending it redoing shit I’ve any done.
I also died 2 times on the first boss during my first playthrough, annoying. I absolutely LOVE this game!
i love everything about nier automata except that it hijacks my camera all the damn time and even hijacks movement pretty often
You should definitely play near replicant before automata, if you haven't done already.
I have not. Is Replicant a prequel to this game?
Having played Automata first myself, I don't think you lose anything by doing so. Playing Replicant may cause you to recontextualize stuff you remember from Automata, which I found to be fun. Either order should be fine.
Automa was the sequel. If you see replicant with a later date it's the remaster.
So having to redo that three times was... annoying...
You are in for a little trolling. Notice the moment when you see the opening title screen for the first time. You haven't seen it yet (:
Game won't let you miss anything or lock you from content for any reason. I can only suggest you to look out for materials you see in the wild, as you'd need a lot of them. Have a nice time with it!
Good to know on the resource gathering. I am an absolute hoarder in video games so I am picking up everything I see.
Automata was good, but I found myself enjoying NieR (Gestalt, not Replicant) way more. Its older and less refined, but the story was more captivating, and I found the father a more charming character.
I'm on the fence about buying it, but I've read that the game has mostly tedious fetch side-quests. Is that something you felt too?
Yes. A lot of traveling and quest repeating to get real ending is tedious. But it's worth it
I don't consider them tedious, but I generally dont end up doing all the side content, I just played the game and occasionally did the side quests between main story quests, so I wouldn't be able to give you a good assessment on that.
For whatever reason eBay prices on the game have spiked dramatically, but you used to be able to get the game disk for Xbox 360 for like, $10. Its backwards compatible.
You could also just download and emulate the PS3 copy of NieR Gestalt for free if you are concerned about not liking it and buy the game later if you do.
