4th for 2B9S cutest lewdest couple.
Michael Bennett
Yes, but are you carrying the weight of the world?
Jaxson Cook
You can't expect that from me. The truth is that I'm only one girl.
Jaxon Nelson
Maybe if you keep believing, your dreams will come to life...
Ian Collins
Why does SE cuck us Drakennier fans so hard
Bentley Bailey
Has anyone played SinoAlice?
Aiden Sanchez
They only care about their Final Fantasy fans.
Evan Murphy
Because all of Yoko Taro's games flop like an aji on dry land, except Automata. Even SINoALICE probably isn't going to live that long.
Cooper Bailey
Go to the SINoALICE general, /sing/. Sadly, it's more alive than /ndg/ these days.
Andrew Bennett
A2
Noah Reed
I'm not so sure. It feels like God is punishing me. Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
Luke Walker
Are androids delicious?
Andrew Stewart
They taste like oil, so no.
Blake Ortiz
Dead general
Hudson Brooks
Maybe if Anon2 posted here instead of Code Vein threads we wouldn't have this problem.
Oliver Nguyen
I think 2B and 9S are upset about something, Commander.

"More than lovers"
Henry Barnes
How do I fix random crashes on PC version of Nier Automata? Tried all the fixes I found on google and I still crash within a couple of minutes. No mention of white screen crash on the pastebins on the OP. Running on GTX 960.
Bentley Sanders
that is so cringy. I want to puke
Jack Thompson
I want to dress 9S like a girl and hurt him.
Kayden Brown
>like a girl >hurt him fuck of with that please.
Jayden Thomas
They are killing themselves because A2 dlc is not confimed yet
I am..
Ryder Hill
only a girl would think about this normalfag thing. Kill yourself you hyperbole
Luke Ortiz
the a2
Luke Barnes
>A2 dlc is not confirmed Even her fate after E is not confirmed. At this point new pod skins are more likely than A2 dlc.
Noah Green
Only a girl? I am a girl and I think only someone with mental problems would want to do that to 9S, first of all I like boys not girls I dont want to dress him like a girl, second, why hurt him? WHY
Joseph Wilson
I dont think the problem is your 960, I played more than 50 hours with my 960 and I only got 1 crash (that was because of FAR). You should do a complete manteinance to your PC (no pun intended )
Gabriel Flores
>At this point new pod skins are more likely than A2 dlc HAHHAHAHAH HAHHAAhaha.. ha ha.. ha.... ha....

What is he going to do with her? I dont like that halo...
Jayden Harris
Is he subjugating her? This has potential.
Jeremiah Turner
>This has potential elaborate
Jonathan Cook
He doesn't need to subjugate someone who already lives for him.
Julian White
Yes he is. We need a comic or fic where 2B begs 9S to subjugate and then fuck her, I can see her liking that...
Juan Sullivan
Look at his arm, that 2B is a clone
Juan Butler

Angel Reyes
Pic Related has POTENTIAL (that 9S is really sexy)
Jaxson Bailey
Does anyone have a self destruct gif or webm? Just the animation
Bentley Cruz
Why do I keep hearing that 2B didn't like fighting? She didn't look like pacifist at all in the game.
Nathaniel Diaz
2B is based on personality number 2 who is frankly speaking a giant crybaby. She also mentions in dialogue with 9S that doing courier job for resistance is preferable to dying on a battlefield and generally doesn't seem to like pointless violence at all. Also: >2B: Type-B models specialize in combat. We're a type of unit deployed to the front lines whenever an intense battle breaks out. >2B: As a result, we feel nothing at the thought of throwing our lives away. That's ... just how we were created. >2B: ... I wouldn't hesitate for even a moment to give my life in battle. >2B: But ... After meeting, you, 9S ... I ...
Aiden Robinson
2B is indeed a crybaby. A2 got over it only because she was forced to survive and still was quite emotional by the end of the game under 2B's and Pod 042's influences. But 2B cried like a million times in novels/concert/game.
Levi Hall
I think that A2 cried a lot after the death of her squad as well, it's just not shown.
Juan Wood
no doubts she did. But 3 years of being a lone survivor changed her quite a lot.
Adam Bennett
Personality 2 is just awful at everything combat related unless there's intense emotional duress, and even then, they despise every second of it.
Makes me wonder why they never used it for an Operator or a Scanner instead
Hudson Torres
A2 a best
Joseph Thomas
>Operator or a Scanner Because personality number 2 is also a bit of a dummy. They simply don't suit combat at all aside from their ability to push through hardships.
Jordan Kelly

Nicholas Wood
Really want to see 2O screaming at a computer because she can't understand what an antivirus is
Cameron Ward
I'm playing the game for the second time. The game kinda ended unexpecetly fast without any warnings. I was kinda trying to do all side missions etc before finishing the game but i didn't prepare for it to come that fast. I'm happy the things have have been happening in my second run this far but it feels kinda bad if i have to do all the side missions that i did previously again. Like investing around 200k in the inventor robot. How does this part work?
Dylan Walker
>I'm playing the game for the second time. no, route A is only ~1/3 of the game. Did you not read a huge ass SE PR message after credits?
>all the side missions that I did previously again no, you only do ones you haven't fully completed in route A. And there will be new quests too.
Eli Foster
I did read the text, but i didn't notice anything about sidequests being saved. I'm glad that they did tho. 9S is a lot of fun but he feels a bit weaker than 2B (which makes sense).
Hunter Morgan
>a bit weaker than 2B no, he isn't. He is op as fuck - just use hacking. And spear throws.
Brayden Gomez
>9S is a lot of fun but he feels a bit weaker than 2B With right build he leaves her far behind.
Jeremiah Reyes
...
Juan Young
What is happening here? Are they doing it again?!
Matthew Howard
Source? I think they are...need source to confirm. Should we stop them? 9S NO!
Wait till you play as A2, it will be much funner and epic
Samuel Robinson
I'm currently just really enjoying the calls from the Operator and the dialogs between 9S and 2B. But i'm sure that playing A2 will be a lot of fun as well.
Thomas Perry
I really recommend you to leave this thread and only come back when you feel the weight of the world, user.
Benjamin Jones
I got a friend who just finished Automata and said to me that he won't go deep into the lore because he's got enough of lore fagging with dark souls before. As I haven't played souls games - how do they compare to Nier lore-wise?
Jace Thomas
Souls games are completely different as even with all in-game materials you only get a vague understanding of what the fuck is going on with multiple possible interpretations. Taro provided a fairly extensive and finished narrative in Automata alone, even without side materials.
Though Bloodborne's lore is fairly complete, especially with DLC. And the game has a few extremely powerful moments.
Brayden Taylor
Do YoRHa androids need water to function like regular resistance androids?
Elijah Wilson
Seems like it based on the water shipments to the moon.
Jaxon Williams
>quest marker in a literally unreachable destination i am confuse
Joshua Rogers
I just finished the game...and although I enjoyed it, anyone who says the story is anything more than a 5/10 needs to read more books. It's literally babby's first existentialism. I will admit the story concepts are well executed and there are great setpieces but if I have to read like 4 non in-game novellas and short stories and concert shit just to get the full story, I think something's wrong, even if it is a Taro thing. I don't mind there being side content, I just mind that so much of it isn't in-game.
Still an 8/10 game to me and probably the best game released this year so far, but I felt almost nothing for the characters. The world and atmosphere was great as a tangent from the original Nier though.
Brayden Myers
Nope, only old and busted androids need water. Superior YoRHa androids do not need it. Source: stage play
Sebastian King
>Source: stage play could you please quote the lines about it from stage play?
Elijah Ortiz
>Rose suggests that they make a toast with water. Apparently, the older model androids needed some sort of liquid to keep their bodies functioning, but the newer YoRHa units are fully automatous and need no such liquid… even still, consuming water will not impede their function.
Christopher Baker
I completely forgot that YoRHa units run on virtually limitless energy sources. That's a cool detail.
Chase Robinson
>anyone who says the story is anything more than a 5/10 needs to read more books. It's literally babby's first existentialism. because it is not only about existentialism. It just that this theme looks smart enough for all reviewers to concentrate on it.
>even if it is a Taro thing. it is not "even" - it is his regular thing and you need to deal with it.
William Ward
>Game is about finding the meaning of existence >Not existentialism I agree that the game isn't 100% about existentialism, a large part of it is the nature of consciousness, but I'd say the dominant theme is existential. Which is perfectly fine, I just found it to be treated in a fairly sophomoric and trite way.
>it is not "even" - it is his regular thing and you need to deal with it. Okay, so it is, fair enough. Taro makes interesting games and concepts, but I think that the fact that he hides things in side content hurts the narrative of the game itself. Just because it's his thing doesn't make it good, I just think it needlessly obfuscates things. And I'd be totally okay with it if it was in-game. Morrowind is a perfect example of a game where you really had to delve into lore books to truly understand the narrative; but the difference is that those lore books are all available in the game itself. It doesn't help that I personally find the novellas, short stories, and concert scripts to be mediocre at best, at the very least in translation.
I don't hate the game or Taro at all, as I said in my original post I give the game an 8/10, I really enjoyed it and put 50+ hours into it. But I think the story was one of the weaker parts. It built a great sense of atmosphere and mystery in certain parts, only to be concluded in an unsatisfactory manner. I think certain stuff about the characters, like 2B and 9S's past relationship, ABSOLUTELY should've been included in the game. It would've been so much more impactful. Plus the lack of development for A2.
It's fine that you enjoyed it user, I just have a different opinion.
