This is awesome
Im fine with the voices, but the sound effects kinda make it hard in battles to listen, so i reduced the volume for effects
There's full controller customization in the settings. Personally I set dodge to ZL, shoot to ZR, pod special to L, camera reset to R, and lock on to clicking the R stick.
Yeah, it's accessible via the settings at any time (as long as your outside of a battle).
Awesome. No penalty or anything it sounds like?
Not that I know of, no. It's literally just there as an option so that people can have more (or less) of a challenge.
That’s great to know, thanks so much for the answer!
You're welcome! I hope you'll have a great time with the game, and feel free to ask if something's unclear!
I had this happen with a bunch of games over these past few years, where I couldn't really get into them on my PS, but ended up totally "getting" them on Switch. Might just be the more personal nature of the device itself?!
Finished the game last night.
It left me feeling as I've felt before when finishing it, like I've been ran over with a truck, half devastated, half filled with hope. Just pure intensity across all gameplay and story spectrums, and something truly extraordinary in the world of gaming. This is a pure and immaculate work of art as far as I'm concerned, and it has been an absolute pleasure to revisit it on Switch.
A great port, with some room for improvement, but overall a fantastic effort from Virtuos. Works great in handheld, and really keeps up with the action. It's a shame I didn't like the DLC much, but the costumes are awesome.
Endings I got: A B C D E J T U W
I literally can't see this image without choking up a bit: (Final story ending spoiler)
I remember getting the A ending on xbox and starting a new game where I would control the male character. Does it get better?!Finished the game last night.

That's unfortunate.
I really like what i played until end A. But that end was so bad that I thought .... I wont play everything again just to get some more context.... I always had the impression that the people on the moon don't exist and the person who is giving you the orders is the bad guy. Will something develop in that sense?
That was my impression as well.
Okay... my birthday was last week.. i'll try it again and think that A ending is just a bad antecipated credits rolling down. I'll go down until end C.
Tip for route 2:
Four iirc. But it’s a little simpler than that. The third “ending” can quickly be replayed to get the fourth (and fifth) right away.
As i know, yes
October 5?
October 1st. I still haven't bought something to celebrate it. I was waiting for bayo3 or mario plus rabbids.. But nier is so cheap
It’s a little spotty, yes. I haven’t run into any corpses either other than my own lol.
Thanks! I will look into it to see what needs to be done.
Yeah, you definitely notice rather quickly that the encounters are more hack 'n' slashy than those in Bayonetta or even Astral Chain, which are much more tightly designed. Automata's simply aren't as focused on the core mechanics, but more about spectacle (with the bosses in particular).
I'll definitely admit that, the combat dosen't really feel amazing compared to Bayonetta and Astral Chain, the difference is actually insane.
So, let's talk about Nier Replicant next!
There where puzzles?So, let's talk about Nier Replicant next!
(It's even simpler in terms of gameplay.)
I wouldn't really recommend the Nier games to someone looking for mechanical depth. They're 99% about the world building, the plot/story, characters, underlying motifs and themes; the combat merely is a tool for these other aspects, and it definitely shows, even if Automata was a big step up over Replicant already.
I'd go as far as saying that every single gameplay mechanic in both Automata and Replicant is at least solid to good in its implementation, but that they basically stop there and never go beyond this base level. Which is fine, given what these games are going for, but obviously might make some people lose interest. There are many, many games out there that outshine Nier in terms of pure mechanical complexity and interaction, though, with regards to basically every single mechanic there is (action combat, hacking, shmup sections, puzzles [if you want to call them such], etc.)
Well, talking about Replicant here, where you had to push around some boxes
"puzzles", if you will~
Oh...yeah, i found 1 in automata.Well, talking about Replicant here, where you had to push around some boxes
Yeah, afaik it's literally just that, a more sophisticated/specific upscaling method. Much like Sony first party games using stuff like Checkerboard Rendering, reconstruction techniques reconstruct (duh) image information based on prior frames and/or neighbouring pixels so to "fill in the gaps", if you will, providing additional image information for the engine to be able to target higher resolutions with less actual computing needed compared to native rendering, as the actual 3D rendering resolution is lower than what's being achieved by reconstruction in the end. Automata might render at 900p for instance, but reconstructs the image up to 1080p output resolution.
Oh okay, yeah that's kinda what I was wondering, if it was maybe something like TAA. Awesome that so many of these options are becoming available, and that devs are finding these software solutions for the current Switch (even some Nintendo devs themselves), almost like it'll be that much more natural a fit when the next one is built for DLSS.
