The incurable disease, white chlorination syndrone. With all that preamble out of the way, let the take officially commence. And this is without even once mentioning all the more technical issues, including a totally abysmal lack of controller functionality, and combat that would be a slog even if I could probably move my damn character. Unless natural life span is different than in real life, The original Nier game took place in the 2000s. But NieR:Automata is so busy tripping over itself to try and bum you out that it can’t be bothered to do it right. What about 2B, and her hinted but completely lacking interiority? The game itself is an embodiment of Waiting for Godot, written by Samuel Beckett, which depicted how meaningless the lives of humans actually were. Throughout the year, I’ve been hard-pressed to find anyone beyond a handful of friends who thought this game was anything short of a heart-wrenching masterpiece, with the one exception of the Video Game Hell podcast, who capture most of my initial feelings about the game at launch. 2B, supported by 9S, is sent to the Factory to eliminate their target.

It doesn't, according to the released side materials and timeline the time Bunker collapses in-game is literally first time it happens (and judging by the ending most likely last. I would guess that the complete unpleasantness and futility of this sequence is designed to inspire that valued despair, but it completely fails at its objective. Sure enough, hundreds of years passed before the disease began to die out. NieR:Automata is that kind of bad, again, not because there’s nothing about it that I like, or even one thing that I really hate, but specifically because it gets so fixated on this awful story that it actively destroys everything that drew me in in the first place. Having received The Game Award for Best Score/Soundtrack, the game perfectly utilized its soundtrack in a way that truly captivates its players. What about Adam and Eve, who get this all this initial focus just to ultimately be no more important than any of the other machine bosses in the game? Haven't played the original Nier either (yet), but I was under the impression that Nier took place years and years before automata, I don't think they overlap at all, Makes sense. You can almost feel the author’s hands at work, breaking his own story as he tries to get it to line up just right. Thousands of years later, the events of Nier occur, and doom humanity to extinction.

It truly is a great game!! Did the events of Nier start the war between the Humans and the machines? I have a Yoko Taro withdrawal, and I need my fix :(.

While it’s no Overwatch, that’s a big number for a single-player game in a niche genre. On the surface, Nier Automata’s storyline is arguably not the most original: human civilization was long extinct due to an alien invasion— though this fact was hidden to both the players and the androids—, and in their stead, replaced by an extensive war between the YorHa androids and the alien’s machines. Someone else linked this below, but heres a very simplified timeline of the series. This, for reference, is almost every character in the game, including all the other YoRHa operators, fighters, and commander, Anemone and the Resistance androids on Earth, Pascal and almost every member of the different machine communities, both hostile and friendly. Toph. The YorHa project turned out to be a manipulative means to give androids a reason to fight. (Spoilers for D3 route A and 4's DLC), Just finished route A (again), some thoughts and frustrations.
Aliens have sent an autonomous force of machine soldiers to Earth as a precursor to their invasion of the planet.
