Nier Automata

Finished the game, well the first run. apparently you need to finish it 3 times to really finish it.
Fun side note, it seems after the 3rd ending they open up a new shop and you can buy the achievements with in game cash. Yes you can buy the plat...

top acheive costs $200k, but you can save scum them all...


This shit is super weird, i still have very limited idea whats going on after the first ending.
In the second playthrough, called Ending B. You play as Nines, its neat to play the parts that were offscreen in Playthrough A.

The open world part of the game is not well done, the world building is pretty lacking, lots of running back and forth and fast travel opens late in the game.
The combat is classic Platinum games. Thus its fun, even though you can chesse the game pretty easily.

For example i have a Plug that gives me 40% of my damage done in health AND another one that gives me 30% of my health back on each enemy death.
Plugs fuse max out at lvl 6. the jump from lvl 5 to lvl 6 is HUGE. for example lvl 5 range damage mod is 30%, lvl 6 is 50%

Try and max your run speed mods, you run a lot in this game..20% is the max

Buy all the plug in spaces first.

Story C done. Not sure if I am satisfied. Need to reload my last save and do D&E

Not a huge fan of how they dump the story on you at the end via Text. Cut scene would have been nicer or even the half cut scene dialog. This game with a bigger budget would have been Amazing. So much repetition in a really small open world lots of backtracking and making the same runs a ton of times via multiple playthroughs. Combat Still pretty damn fun.

Went into this game completely blind not knowing anything about the series or even how it feels other than I saw battle on a rollercoaster and I gotta say, combat and music are top fucking notch. I'm really enjoying myself right now.

Runs great on my PC but cutscenes are 30 fps which is asshole, also the 4k is stretched which is also asshole but it at least looks good in 1080.

Reading about the few issues of the PC version, I'm kinda glad I grabbed it on PS4.

4k not being officially supported is retarded, and from there I guess 21:9 wouldn't work either.

Done done done. D&E and plat.

i made the ultimate sacrifice for you guys....when you get thier you will know.
You are welcome.

The PC port also seems to be capped at 60 fps. Either that, or my system (i5-2500k, 8 GB ram, 970 GTX) coincidentally couldn't push it past 59-60 fps on the graphics settings I started with. Will mess around with it a bit more after work. It did run fairly smoothly, with not too many fps drops that I noticed.

Yeah, it's capped at 60 fps which is unfortunate but not the worst thing ever. I'm curious if there's mechanics that are tied to framerate and that's why they did it. Although every single japanese console port seems to be locked at 60fps so I'm not really surprised either way.

watching singsing play this on very hard looks brutal.. like not even remotely fun haha
even the little tiny robots in the first part of the game 1 shot you

Is the PS4 Pro version 60fps?

Click to expand...

Yes. PS4 runs at 900p 60fps, and PS4 pro runs at 1080p at 60. A few noticeable dips here and there, but nothing major.

been watching singsing try and get through the tutorial portion of the game for the last 4 hours lmao
no save point until you get to the ship is fucking whack when everything will 1 shot you

edit:
edit2: easy mode literally plays the game for you wtf lol

It's useful when you're farming diamond chips, especially in an area like the desert boss room. None of the enemies are even the slightest threat (unless you're on V.Hard, which would be retarded for farming) so you might as well give your hands a rest.

Oh you can change the difficulty mid game? yeah thats pretty nice then lol

Yeah, you can change it whenever and there's no difficulty trophy.
