NieR: Automata Is Gaming's Greatest Work Of Art

"Yoko Taro, the team at Platinum Games and Square-Enix may have created a true work of art in their game.
NieR: Automata, published by Square-Enix and developed by Platinum Games, is the second entry in the NieR timeline of the Drakengard (or Drag-on Dragoon) games. " - MCXV

Simply an asstonishing article, and it's definitely right. Nier automata is a work of art

[OokuChicken]

I completely agree~!

[hoguvigice]

Journey is a work of art. The so called walking simulators are works of art. Nier is a "game" with all the typical gameplay mechanics. It tells a story, yes, but only with cut scenes and not with the language of this medium.

[slappy508]

Yes it's bootyful!

[cabbitwithscissors]

Omigosh, I just slapped my monitor and caressed it crazy.

[TheOptimist]

Agreed. A paramount example of what gaming can truly achieve and what it's all about. Personally it is an immediate classic and as Jim Sterling stated

"If history forgets this game, eff history"

[Blade1587]

*proceeds on giving the game a 9/10 either way*

[TheOptimist]

Sad when the review writing doesn't match the review score.... This game, however flawed it is, is a masterpiece that'll remain unparalleled for a long time to come.

[dilbig5]

Gameinformer gave God of War 3, Starcraft 2, Breath of the Wild, Bioshock infinite, and for some reason Overwatch all 10/10.

[OokuChicken]

I don't normally agree with Sterling, but I agree with him on this point.

[Simon_the_sorcerer]

Epic booty = Art :3

[OokuChicken]

Bootylicious! this game is much more than that though. I think the author by using the booty image was echoing the creators that also used booty to draw people in.

[RememberThe357]

That's what booty do!

[Imp0ssibl3]

Still have to play this. Can't wait!

[OokuChicken]

Do it! Just make sure you don't stop after you reach the credits.

[LinkageAX]

It's such an amazing and deep game. I cried for days.

[Seraphim]

check your inbox and do side quests before proceeding as well.
oops. this should be replied under OokuChicken comment

[R6ex]

I wanted to, but its still not available on Steam in SEA. :(

[InTheZoneAC]

stop obsessing over a game character because of her sex appeal

I'm surprised cindy from ffxv doesn't dress like this on a hot day

[TheOptimist]

Clearly didn't read the article......

[InTheZoneAC]

I don't click on articles, especially the clickbait one's

[OokuChicken]

They didn't, such a shame too.

[Bathyj]

"I don't click on articles, "

Then all your opinions here on articles are moot. It all makes sense now.

[HollowKnight]

No point In arguing with children who have never been with a real woman. They will love any article with a NSFW picture attached to It. Check the other Nier threads you will get what I mean, It's as empty as the Desert Zone In the game. That being said, Nier:Automata Is a beautiful game and definitely deserves a sequel.

[Darkwatchman]

Sex appeal has nothing to do with the article if you actually bothered to read it. The thumbnail was just clickbait, but the reason the author loves the game so much is because it was able to elicit such a strong emotional response despite the person never feeling anything for characters in other rpg's he/she has played.

Next time, read an article before making such a pointless statement.

[OokuChicken]

I think that was one of the points of the game, and maybe the author was trying to show that. People dismiss things based on appearance too quick, and they may lose something insightful by doing so.

[LinkageAX]

Do we really want people that could never comprehend complexities to infest the fanbase?

[Gatsu]

The article shows booty gifs... so it has something to do with it.

[OokuChicken]

Someone clearly fell for the rusemasters ruse :^)

[wannabe gamer]

your letting one image distract you from a large well written piece. jokes on you if you cant handle something so minor.

[InTheZoneAC]

I don't support clickbait, neither should you.

[Bathyj]

You also don't support meaningful well written articles. You said it yourself.

[rainslacker]

So, checked the user who posted the article, and they don't appear to be affiliated with the site itself. If anything, they mostly only post articles from attackongaming.

Checked the article, and nowhere in it, was there an image that would be NSFW. There are a few images of the main character, along with some other characters, but all of them are completely tame, and generally show moments that were emotional in the game.

So, you're judging the article based on the thumbnail posted by a third party person, and missed out on a good article.

So, with everyone saying it's a great article, and me reassuring you that it's not clickbait, maybe give it a try, and don't judge the author of the article based on the thumbnail that someone else used.

[jznrpg]

I love Nier, its unique and hard to explain how much I enjoy it

[OokuChicken]

Hopefully you can find the words! :)

[Sm3000]

Points taken for no azz crease

[OokuChicken]

If you look close enough on ladders, you can see her butthole.

[GamePeace]

Yes, for pervert otakus it's a perfect work of art.

[OokuChicken]

Not sure if troll or joke

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Don't bother even asking, just report and move on.

[GamePeace]

No. I meant it for real and no troll. Just my opinion.

[LinkageAX]

This article is great bait for picking out morons that judge things without reading them.

[GamePeace]

@Kenshin, report for expressing my sincere opinion about how I feel about this article?

@LinkageAX, morons, you don't know me personally.

[SilverDemon]

And GTA is perfect for sexist White males,right?

Don't be like that. This game is masterpiece NOT because of the reasons you think. Give it a try. I GUARANTEE you you won't regret it
Gameplay,story,music, atmosphere EVERYTHING IS PERFECT

[GamePeace]

Sorry, but the main character look soooo stupid to me, unbelievabily stupid. What were they thinking? Not all people like this kind of stuff, the game is too otakuish for me. I prefer more serious looking games, with somewhat more serious designed main characters. I don't dig manga-doll looking characters and virtual behinds at all, just my personal opinion, you won't die ...

[SilverDemon]

And you still failed how the GAME (not only 2B) is for perverts and otakus

The game has 3 playable characters with each having there own story(not to mention 2B have an alternative costume)

Again, don't judge a book by its cover. Give it a shot you'll be surprised by how deep the story and characters are, how fun the combate is, how beautiful the world, and the music. best music in game I have ever played

[Bebedora]

Sex don't sells

Sex don't sells!

[LinkageAX]

One of the deepest and philosophical titles in gaming to date does.

[senorfartcushion]

Virgin alert

[LinkageAX]

People are complex. They can both enjoy the booty and delve into philosophy. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive.

[senorfartcushion]

VIRGIN ALERT.

[rainslacker]

I've found some of the most philosophical and life changing moments in my life often come from enjoying the booty.:)

[PlayableGamez-]

This person hasn't played Persona 5 yet.

[LinkageAX]

You didnt play Automata yet :^)

[PlayableGamez-]

Actually I did.
Persona 5 is better.

[Seraphim]

while I love the Shin Megami Tensei series and Persona, NieR Automata is incredible. Not to say Persona isn't because it is but NieR is something new, something Persona originally was. It's not only something different but it gets better with age, game over, think again.... To each their own but at the very least both are incredible games in the same league.

[PlayableGamez-]

Persona 5 is better...

[Outlawzz]

Do I need to play the first one to understand this one ? The other one is on PS3 I think and last time I checked wasn't too cheap on Amazon

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

I think you'll be ok - I never played the first one either. I'm only a little way through this, and it is excellent.

[Seraphim]

you don't have to but if you care to read some back knowledge there's a great posting on the psblog,
http://blog.us.playstation....

Also, NieR Replicant was a JP only title while the Nier (Nier Gestalt) was released in the West & Europe. In Order of timeline it would go Nier Gestalt, Replicant and Automata though Gestalt takes place, I believe, well before Replicant and Automata. Again, you don't have to play the others to play Automata though. Platinum did an excellent job and the game is fantastic. I just sunk 100 hours in and missed 1 Pod Program and Weapon so am reverting to a 30 hour save and continuing to play for the Platinum, I'm addicted.

[rainslacker]

It doesn't hurt, but not really. It's one of those things where you have a bit more appreciation for some of the stuff if you played the first, or the Drakengard games, but it's isolated enough that you can certainly appreciate it for what it has to offer on it's own.

After your first play through though, I'd recommend going and looking up some of the story of the prior game, as it'll help you appreciate it more if you do a 2nd play through.

It's a shame the first kind of went under the radar, it was a good game as well. Would love a remaster, although I suppose I can always play it on my PS3 too.:)

[Pantz]

her ass is a great work of art too

[The7Reaper]

Flat pancake asses are the future I suppose

[Themba76]

yea i traded mass effect andromeda in for this game it seems like a made a good trade on this one.

[R6ex]

That's why we need it on Steam in SEA! Hurry up!!!

[SR388]

The main girl ain't even that great why do people think she's all that? ... Yeah the game is good i enjoyed one of ps4 better games

[dmonee]

I almost feel bad for, "not getting it!" I couldn't get into this game. I played through it 1 1/2 times and put it down. The repetitiveness,and a lot of areas that you should be able to access, but can't because of invisible barriers. A lot of similar enemies, and a leveling system that is overwhelming and difficult to understand. This game tries to be "heady", kind of like the band "The Grateful Dead." You can either get into it or not. I'm not trying to be a hater. It's just amazing, how passionately the author of this article played this game. He discussed climatic points of the game that I just ignored and probably hit the skip button. Too bad for me I guess.

[captainexplosion]

After the awesome opening the game was boring, glitchy, and repetitive. I don't understand the critical acclaim of this game but the critical hatred of Drawn to Death, which I love.

[CrimsonWing69]

I approve!

[Elda]

Looks shiny & plastic.

[rlow1]

Hi i'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this asstastic article on behalf of all feminist..............lol

[Bolts]

Praise game for being a piece of art, shows piece of ass. Nuff said.

[Cmoney007]

I will buy this game after finishing a few others.

[theshredded]

Oh yes it is, it truly is indeed. It's the wildest videogame right now.

[bnaked]

Its too gamey to be a true work of art.

[hobbitooo]

Drakengard 3 is also fun but buggy, and the dialogue is damn hilarious n kinky haha

[cbuc1125]

And not available on Xbox is why Scorpio will never beat PlayStation...Better games. Yup I had to go there.

[jokerisalive]

THat BOOTY SHOT is a thing of BEAUOOOTY!!!
