Man, you'd think all these negative reviews would be about the first game. This was super painful to read. Criticizing a story without the full scope, or at least an effort to watch that shit on youtube is pretty shitty.

That review knocked the game down a notch.

*Raises pitchfork*
This person went into the review with the intention of slagging on the game.
He generally didn't care a single whit about the game itself including playing it past ending A and he even admits that based on some sort of false principle.

The dream is dead.
I'm guessing it's okay to post outlier reviews now? Saw this yesterday and well, at the end of the day. a review is just someone's opinion.

89 again, I knew it, Yoko Taro is a hack, burning my 6th copy and destroying the HDD where the save was

Never heard of those guys, we still have jim and easy allies guys
I figured one of the endings would do that for me anyway.
But you already gave Yoko Taro your money. You can't take it back!
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I have no idea how Financial Post suddenly started reviewing games and suddenly slams this game with... Half-assing it. So much for credibility.
What's even annoying is that Metacritic counts it.
It's like CNN suddenly starts reviewing games and their conclusion to a 40 hour game isn't like "this game is bad at 5 hours and it isn't to my liking".

Yeah I'm not changing the OP for that thread.
Takes two seconds to see the review wasn't done properly.

The disc is sailing across the lawn. Blue jays sqwaking in approval.
Basically his first and last name: @chadsapieha
That review knocked the game down a notch.
Wait.....did he just basically admit to not playing the full game and stopping after ending A?
I would say less than half personally
So this is what the fans of the original NieR went through.
Content-wise, probably, but it really felt like a "first act, second act" kind of thing to me. So, "half" not being directly about actual length, but storytelling.
well in this case atleast the guy went through route A, and didn't quit before finishing the first route like some other review outlets i could mention

Thank you.
Maybe they gave one to metacritic?
True, since A and B are...well structured how they are.
Its def different from the first Nier where A and B were two sides of the same coin and C and D were essentially just different endings of ending B, and of course Drakengard which only changed up its story 50% to 75% of each playthrough
YT and Platinum went above the call of duty for Automata thinking in that way

It does on the top right - be sure to tweet at him so he can actually finish it.

I've never heard of that site. I doubt their review is too heavily "weighted"
So hopefully two 90+ reviews from people who actually play the game properly and doesn't stop without even finishing it can bring I back up.

I was having flashback to be honest. And now Horizon Zero Dawn is at 89 when it would be a 90 otherwise. At least NieR Automata still has a few big reviews left that could bump it back up.

Easy allies you are our only hope! Also I think with review copies they need to fully explain what an ending means. I know they tried here but clearly someone slipped through the cracks.

But it is his opinion!
The same stuff was said in the Horizon thread and I feel like poor reviews like that shouldn't be counted either but what can you do?

"Vastly better games such as The Last of Us and Horizon" hurts me. I mean I personally do not care for either game, but the problem lies that those games are not comparable neither in gameplay or budget.
It seems that a few people didn't pick up on the fact this is an RPG first with a great action game attached.
