A highly work safe discussion of NieR: Automata

Sorry to say I'm not interested in the culture. Quite the opposite. Please show the utmost restraint.

That said, I'm curious if the actual gameplay stands up outside of sensational or provocative elements. What little I've watched has interesting glitched and fast paced visuals flying around the screen. Mowing through mechanical enemies looks fun enough. Not sure if there is variety and depth to the combat that I liked in Metal Gear Solid Revengeance. Or if it even matters when so many great arcade games proved how fun spamming a few buttons can be while thrashing a control stick.

It's one of my favorite games of all time. 2B, 9S and A2 have different combat styles. It's different from MGRR in that regard.

Take your time and complete all optional missions.

So worth picking up and not expecting to refund. My feeling is you'd drift away from something that was just a shell with nothing of worth inside.

Quite contrary... That game is QUITE a ride. It's a masterpiece. 11 out of 10. Make sure to pick up NieR Replicant 1.22 on Steam as well

That one is still in my backlog... (I own to many games ;_; )

Nier: Automata was really good

Isn't it hella depressing though?

The only unavoidable spoiler was how many times over it wants to inflict the conclusions it draws.
