He did nothing wrong.

Whelp, just got my first white screen crash on gtx970. Not sure I want to keep playing now that I've read how common this is.

>Killed his own Gestalt dooming humanity
>Basically busted up everything in pursuit of saving his kid with no regard to whether or not she'd even have a world to grow up in when all was said and done
He kinda did a lot of shit wrong

starting my second playthrough on N:A, what are some fun weapons to use?
I stuck with the Virtuous Contract/Cruel Oath for the entirety of the first playthrough due to them being decent and plot significance

I have a GTX970 and did a 100% with little problem (just a couple of blue screens, but maybe it's the RAM).

He did everything wrong, but so did everyone else.

You should be saying he didn't intentionally do anything wrong.

Hmm, in all fairness I'm 11 hours in so far, but I did a sub-quest in the desert that took about 20 minutes without a save.

I could just obsessively save frequently until the patch.

Yeah, it was more the fault of his Gestalt that fucked everything up and resulted in robo racism against the redheads.

Is there a faster way to level up than fighting the rabbit statue over and over? Want to hit at least level 80 or so for the optional bosses.

Fighting the rabbit over and over but with EXP up chips.

user, please. It takes literally 20 minutes to go from 60 to 99 using the rabbit. In the time it took you to post this you could have gotten like 5 levels.

It doesn't even take long to level to 99 if you fight it as 9S. After getting its attention it only takes 1-3 hacks to kill it depending on your level. Equip a few exp chips and you get about 4 levels per kill.

If that leathery handbag he calls a face isn't karma, then I don't know what is.

No, this is the fastest. I got to level 82 without grinding though, and before fighting Emil

>taro managed to make shotacon not cringeworthy
What a madman

Any new info about the game from art books or anything?

He's like 16 years old physically which is past shota territory.
And 2B ain't much older.

Did they fuck something up in a patch? I have a 970 too and had no such issues. Had the game since release.

2B looks like she is 18-20

Art book scans when?

He looks 12-14 and she looks early to mid 20s

i LOVE devola!!!

Which archive refers to ending D? I see that brought up to support the idea of D being canon, but what's the actual archive that implies that?

the enemy data of 9S and A2

Is the thread finally dead? Can we finally die and become as gods?

No its no, we need to live.

Activity just ebbs and flows as there's only so much to discuss.

Hello, I posted about a story I wrote in the previous thread and got some feedback I've applied to it. Feel free to take a look, there's a new paragraph. It's the fifth snippet down.

archiveofourown.org/works/10549700

Some of the criticism I received was that there's really no reason for A2 to think that YoRHa caused the death of all of the androids, or at least, no reason for them to actually be gone. The second chapter will propose a much more likely theory but I don't plan on explaining what really happened because it's not that important. Also people were wondering where the pods went, so I clarified that as well, but I don't know if you will like my answer.

Thank you for reading if you did, hopefully this change is for the better.

I did it lads. I'm downloading drakengard 3 at this very moment.

Wish me luck.

It's shit, watch some LPs and then just look for porn.

I'm already to the point of no return. Plus watching lps of games you haven't played is autistic as fuck.

I just want Emil to be happy ;_;

Cyprus stick for mad crits.
Definitely use a spear when playing as 9S.

What's worse is watching LPs of games you own but haven't played.
I don't remember if it was in this general but some fool did that with Automata.

My friend did a similar thing. Instead of waiting for a crack, he went to youtube and watched all the automata cutscenes. He's probably shitposting in /v/ nier threads at this very moment.

I really can't imagine him letting a man fuck his ass for money. He's the one that pays to fuck asses.

Some people are just into that kind of thing.

Hey does anyone happen to have the infographic for NieR Gestalt/Replicant showing which quests develop the story and which are a pain in the ass? I've finally convinced a friend to play it but I can't find the image.

If this nigga walks up to you with his mugass face and says "u wan sum fuck", you're the bitch pulling his pants down in fear, not the other way around

Not that I know this for a fact, this is just me speculating here, but Brother's trained asshole may have held some appeal to Kainé and may have been a reason why she prefers Brother over Papa.

But he didn't, the nier in the grimoire novellas is brother nier.

Aww poor pods ;_; Thank you for putting that in there. I'm looking foward to the next chapter.

>she prefers Brother over Papa
Does she? I'm not very familiar with how the Gestalt and Replicant versions differ in characterization.

How do I avoid ending E?
I don't want to see it before finishing C and D

You don't have to do anything, it only appears once you do both C and D

You get E automatically after getting both of them.

That's good then, thanks anons

Please don't let the thread die, user.

Got this in the mail today. Defo not the best figure I've ever seen but what can ya do, I really wanted an IRL Toobie. Just wish it was a little bigger and not so flimsy feeling and fragile. The art book was pretty cool though.

Can't wait til Flare releases their 2B statue though. Anyone know when it's supposed to come out?

If all android data was backed up on a server not on the bunker, where would that server be? (Besides the moon).

In their pods?

Presumably in a fortified outpost.

You have to remember, the intent was for YoRHa to be destroyed. As a matter of design, their system wasn't supposed to be able to withstand the machines.

I hope you slapped his shit.
Normally I'm anti piracy but this is something you have to experience first hand whether you're willing to pay or not.
It really bothers me that people willingly deprive themselves of that.

>Devola doesn't drink
>if she has even a little, she gets a bit too... friendly.

i LOVE Devola!!!!!

A2 is going to kill herself isn't she. :(

Should include Operators and the Commander
Good idea but where?
Of course, but data can be very easily misplaced and duplicated.

If we included the moon would it most likely be there?

>If we included the moon would it most likely be there?
Maybe. I can see that.

Are you trying to get ideas for a fanfic?
How about in the access points.

>Ideas for a fanfic
Maybe...
I'm one of several writefags and for now I won't reveal which, but I need a good idea for just HOW I'd go about rezzing everyone since the main trio's seems pretty unique to them

The only problem I see with the moon is that considering the android Illuminati are probably up there, they might have gone through some extreme lengths to purge them from their systems.

Who cares, A2 figure when?

Perhaps remnants of their personalities are imprinted on their black boxes.
I don't know how they could be retrieved but I think the idea holds weight. Remember what Pascal said about machine consciousness being tied to their core.

The Pod bit was a nice edition.

I'll say again that I disagree with the direction you took the story, mainly because I don't think large philosophical themes of nihilism should be present in a FAN-FICTION.

All the same... I find it pretty interesting and will likely keep reading. I can tell a lot of thought went into this.

Bang up job on the sex scene by the way, good way to have them do it without genitals.

As competition I loathe you.

This is a nice idea.

The problem would be, of course, finding them (they're pretty small).

In addition, the Commander wasn't a YoRHa model so she didn't have one.

/r/ing that pic of the Recluse machine posting

This one?

This close enough?

Alright I'm dumb and in need of spoonfeeding.
So route C isn't a continuation of route A & B? What happened to Adam and Eve at the start of route C?

So I played Automata first, but after playing original Nier, I took another listen to the Emil - Despair track.
Holy shit...it gets to you

t-thanks user

It is a continuation and Adam & Eve are dead. What makes you think it isn't a continuation?

>Village is burning
>Try to save NEET bot
>End up destroying him

They're dead.

Route C/D is the entire second half of the game. Really where the "Taro" part of the game starts.

It is a continuation. What made you think otherwise? 9S is back in his body and Adam/Eve are deaaadddd

But route C is a continuation.
Dey dead.

>C is a whole different segment
I probably just read that out of context, I thought route A and B ended a story with the machines having 9S's data whilst route C having a different story.

No, 9S reconstructed his data via the machines but they then put it back into a normal YoRHa unit, just like after you die ingame and get a replacement body with your last save data. The beginning bits of Route C pretty much directly follow the post credits sequence of Route B; you can even hear the Pod tell 2B that she should go to her quarters to check her heavy armour gear for the coming mission, which is where we next see her in C: Putting on the heavy armour.

Ah, I see now. Guess I finally got this out of the way.
Thanks for clarifying, user.

>become weak and accept help during E
>purge data to help some anime nigger faggot
>make back up of save
>back up gone
Uninstalled.exe
Too bad I can't a refund from this poor excuse of a game.

Any other ideas on how to save everyone guys?

...

You realize that A, you don't need to delete your save since you can ALWAYS get help and B, it's the easiest thing in the world to keep a backup.

Right?

Epic meme. Too bad I used Cheat Engine to 100% my way to "True/Garbage Ending" and got all achievements.

>when you accept help but don't give it back

Alright man, if you had the most fun doing that more power to you.

Jackass will bring back her lover White. With SCIENCE!

anyone else love A2 more than anything else in their lives

No.

A4 loved her.

Why are you shitposting?

So I'm assuming when the soundtrack CD ships it'll be entirely in Japanese?

The writing on the case I mean, not the music
