NieR Automata

As far as the endings...the first run of playthrough #3 I got the C ending, and then the next time I somehow got both D and E in the same run. I guess just how the endings are structured.

The rest are just various failures to complete objectives or going the wrong way (for example, at the start of playthrough #2, just run off instead of going to the objective...that will trigger a joke ending).

I am about to start the secound route I have only beaten it once and then I started ME:A. Going deep into Nier again this week
 
Finishing Endings C & D auto triggers Ending E. You don't have to do anything else to get E.
 
I finally got it running correctly on my system. Took the FAR patch, and digging into the SLi Profiles. Apparently, the BF1 Profile makes a good profile for SLi.
 
Anyone else get the DLC? I bought it and have to say it was pretty disappointing for the $11.47 I paid for it. I beat it pretty quickly and as long as you have a level 80+ character it's not at all difficult except one level which took a long time for me to beat.
The whole 9S specific coliseum was a pain because you have to fight as a robot you are controlling and not as 9S. It was probably my most disliked set of levels. I didn't fight the CEO of Square, I didn't figure out how to but I looked it up but I didn't bother to try it. The DLC's ending is just a Japanese music video and that's why the thing is 2.6GB instead of it being much smaller. Basically it's 3 costumes, some way to change the color of 2 of the character's hair, and a music video.
Overall I'd say wait for it to go on sale for 50% off if your interested in getting it. There really isn't much in it for the price they are charging IMHO.

Good information, thanks! (didn't look at the spoiler though as I still haven't completed the main game) I think I'll still pick up the DLC for full price though because I'm hoping there's going to be a trend of more Platinum on PC.
 
Loved this game but the DLC didn't look that compelling to me...at least not for $13 or whatever it is.

Agreed and agreed. Honestly I really like 2B's default outfit best anyway. Her new nightie looks nice, but it's a bit on-the-nose for me.
 
Made the mistake of trying to start this on hard mode... If I could find that .gif of the learning "cliff" and little stick dudes falling off it, I'd add it...

Fortunately, you can dynamically change the difficulty level in the game menu on-the-fly.

I did the same thing on my very first attempt at playing the game.

I couldn't get past the whole prologue bit to get to where I could change the difficulty. Ended up deleting the save and starting it over on Normal.

Now that I finished the game though I may start over on Hard mode.
 
Depending on your chip loadout, you can very quickly become OP in this game.
 
I finished this game the other day and I gotta say...what a damn fine game. Got through in just under 40 hours and I only wish I would have done more of the side-quests/collecting before I got done. I missed 9 quests and a small bit of the collectible archives but now that it's over I may have to come back to it after some time...

My advice to newcomers: if you're one for collecting/side-questing, do as much of it as you can before you complete the game.
 
I did all of the side quests I could see, but you invariably miss one or two along the way it seems. Luckily there is the Chapter Select afterwards if you want to go back and 100%.
 
Still can't complete the tutorial without crashing to a white screen. Square Enix is the best!

I mean, at this point, it would be nice. However, the community nailed it. So, it'd just be a formality at this point. The biggest boost I got was from the Nvidia SLi workaround using BF1's SLi Profile.

It's a game designed to be played a few times. So, I think it's okay to miss things the first time around.

Maybe it's just me but I feel like the Chapter Select 'cheats' it a little. I'd be be better off starting over again but considering how long it took me for an A, B, C, D and E playthrough I'm going to have to put some distance on the game. Two of the big quests I left undone were the Pascal 'data on the old world' and the 'heritage something' with the dude in the desert. For the life of me I was only able to find two of those desert items but no more. I could only run around the desert with the scanner thing for so long before I gave up.

Also, on Emil...

I never did finish finding those Lunar Tear flowers for Emil......will that in any way explain why there are giant Emil heads in the desert?
 
The Heritage / artifact quest gives you one of the most badass weapons for 9S in the game...I ended up using a guide to find the artifacts after wandering in the desert for about an hour aimlessly.

I never finished the Old World quest either because it's basically finding a bunch of chests to open...without a guide I don't really have much interest in searching for them all (though I found a fair amount of them anyway).

Didn't do all the Emil stuff so I couldn't say. I guess there is a secret boss fight related to him, though...
 
The unofficial Nier: Automata FAR mod contains an anti-piracy check, and people aren't happy

The unofficial Nier: Automata "Fix Automata Resolution" patch released in March reportedly made some much-needed improvements to the game, including "vast improvements" to framerates and a fix for a bug that kept it from running at native resolutions...but since yesterday, the mod has been getting attention for a different reason: users picked up on the fact that it makes a check to see whether or not the game it's being installed on is a legitimate copy, and that has some gamers very unhappy...

I don't steal my games, but I think it's a bad idea to include hidden software in a mod. Next we will see keyloggers and stuff in popular mods. Remember the apps with hidden bitcoin programs that would commandeer your PC and make bitcoin for some hacker without you knowing about it. That type of stuff.

With that said it is kinda funny that it does a piracy check. ;) I just wish the author had stated it from the beginning.

Hence why it would be infinitely better if Platinum and other Japanese devs fixed their god damn games themselves rather than relying on the community to do it for them :banghead::mad::rolleyes:
 
PC thread but whatever .. I bought it for $42 on PS4. Haven't had an issue and love the game.
 
It trips me out a little, the massive bruhaha this is getting. I mean, you should NEVER have to rely on a MOD to fix the basic issues of your game. I feel like the modder provided FAR as a courtesy, and he can write it however he wishes - it is the product of his free time and goodwill. I personally, have never used it and in a way wish it didn't exist so that there'd be more pressure on SQUARE ENIX to fix their product. All of the ire the MOD MAKER is receiving right now should rightfully be directed at SQUARE ENIX because the issues he was fixing are THEIR RESPONSIBILITY and THEY need to patch their game and fix it. I say this as a Radeon RX 480 owner who submitted official trouble tickets to both SQUARE ENIX and AMD for the white screen issue.

I was hesitant installing this mod for this very reason. Thankfully this modder put the source code up, and while I'm not about to comb over all the code, at least it's a sign of his good intentions. The author of the mod explained that the piracy check was added more to cover his own ass than any moral reason.

But I do agree that Square Enix should issue a fix for those that have major problems like your white screen crash. It truly is a worthy game to sink a lot of time into and it bums me out that there are users out there that can't play the game.

Oh, I played the game all the way through, but I had to jump through the 16.11.5 driver hoop to do so :). i would have been much more upset had it been completely unplayable.

Nier: Automata white screen bug fixed for AMD cards

AMD have finally got round to addressing the problem with new drivers...why has it taken so long, you ask? Here’s what a chap from AMD had to say for himself in a Reddit post:

“I know I will be asked ‘why did it take so long’ and the short answer is sometimes when an issue seems like it’s so simple can turn out to be incredibly complicated to resolve, taking longer than expected time to discover, resolve, and verify the root cause.”

i wish I could play this game. I have it but kb/m is barely functional. I tried a controller.... and it was worse. I guess I'll try making an ahk script to map mouse movement to keys....

Yes I finally got to play! Game is awesome!
 
I'm not paying anywhere near launch prices for a broken console port that will likely never be officially patched. And doesn't come with a demo.

I'll bite when it's under twenty soemtime next year.

I can't make myself do it, either, unless I at least see any signs or hints of any real support for the title.

I do salute the modders' efforts.
 
I think I'm gonna pick it up for my PS4 Pro, can get on the ebay for around $40.

Totally get where you guys are coming from. You won't hear this much from me, but...this game is worth more than $20. I don't remember what I paid, I think it was around $35-40, but it was completely worth it.

I had very few, if any issues with the game (most related to third-party framerate unlockers) and it was a great experience.
 
Oh, no doubt it's playable and enjoyable, but I'm very picky about what 3rd-person shooters I like. They instantly guaranteed me not dropping release-day cash when they provided a console demo, but no-such-love for PC.

They put in 20 bucks worth of effort, so they get 20 bucks from me.

Yeah, I could get a Steam refund, but I'm not. And I have a fairly big backlog as well.

It's you and some of the other usual suspects in here that have kept the flame of hope and interest alive for me. ;)

I have the game, I just wish I could play it. I am purely a KB/M user, which does not give any option to shoot diagonally. I tried using a controller and that is worse - for me. What I'd like to see is something that can remap the mouse into pan and tilt controls. That would be ideal. Too bad they could not do simple shit like this for release.
