NieR: Automata - Platinum's Take on all the Weirdness of NieR and Drakengard

Yoko Taro wants to make porn.

Of course, it seems someone has actually beaten him into making Nier porn in Japan.

He’s fucking around. He has a history of saying jokes.

I need to get that jav

Seen it. It sucks.

NieR: Automata just won The Game Awards for Best Score/Music, wich is well deserved!

Congrats!

Yeah. It’s been a long time since I have truly enjoyed a game’s score.

Just got the A ending and moving on to the next playthrough.

Any tips for using 9S? Since he can’t dual wield, I’m been experimenting with switching weapons mid combo w/ various levels of success. He does’t seem to be very good with the heavy weapons I loved using with 2B. Right now, I’m messing with small swords in combination with combat bracers.

U just want to be hacking the tough enemies most of the time, including bosses.

The hacking of commons is pretty tedious. I’ll hack one or two to weaken the pack, but I only do a lot of hacking on larger enemies. So yea, seems like I’ve got a good handle on things.

Try hacking a machine that isn’t aware of you yet.

Embrace it

Yeah if you can get a stealth hack you can actually use the machine and that adds a lot of variety

I did that once, but couldn’t figure out how to do it again. Didn’t realize it was a stealth thing. Nice.

Something that’s not made obvious is you can actually do heavy attack chains with 9S. You can do this either delay for a bit after your first attack or do attack immediately after pressing evade.
Makes him a lot more enjoyable.

still need to get this game

On my second play through and walked into this pocket off the map

Is this just a dead end or is there more to it? 2 bots came out of it.

Also, any ideas to the last unfound secret that yoko said a few months ago? Ever since I read about it, I started to look at every area but decide to give that up to keep my sanity lol.

hmmm. i assume thats in the forest king location? most likely its nothing. theres alotta funky borders on that forest area. but feel free to find that unfound secret.
no thats desert right?
hmmm.

Its in the desert zone and the entrance shown next to it is the apartment zone. It gets into that storming effect and is a thin entrance/corridor that goes into a small area surrounded by rocky walls that can be jumped on a couple ledges on one side. Visibility is difficult so its hard to tell if there’s anything to access.
