Hell, it's not even the opinion that frustrates me but more of the framing of the thread.
Had it been something like "LTTP: Nier Automata -- It's shit" or "Nier Automatas ending system is borked" then okay, let's see what we got here and let's talk.
But the way it goes about is "Hey guys, I have question" and immediately "Doesn't matter. I don't care. Fuck that noise."
More like he was seeking some kind of confirmation for his rant, considering that 15 minutes after opening the thread he says he's already youtubing the game.
I don't feel you've actually beaten the game until C or D.
I believe the argument here is that you aren't on your second playthrough until you actually finish routes A-E and start over. Finishing route A does not complete a playthrough of Nier Automata.
That's like saying you're on your second playthrough of FF6 when you get to the World of Ruin.
They didn't know it was incorrect, something that a lot of people still don't understand, you even said so yourself.The point of forums is certainly not to rant about factually incorrect assumptions.
Furhtermore, OP is ranting about the idea of having to replay through a game, a game he apparently doesn't like.
Of course the idea of replaying through a game you didn't enjoy is going to be unfun and boring, what would there be to talk about

And appetantly there's plenty to discus since we're already on page two.
An OT exists for this very reason.They didn't know it was incorrect, something that a lot of people still don't understand, you even said so yourself.
Since when can threads not be about your displeasure with a game?
Like, I don't get your annoyance with OP at all.

I hate when games don't respect my time

You don't make a new topic just to ask a question about a game that came out 1-2 months ago when it has an active OT and a spoiler thread as well. Especially not if you just want to rant about something factually incorrect that would've been pointed out within minutes in the OT.
i know route b can be a bit of a slog, but i never felt like nier:a didn't respect my time.
OP explained why they don't want to do another playthrough even though they now know they were wrong.Four, actually, and nah.
It's just a bunch of people pointing out how wrong OP is while he sighs, ignores us, and watches the endings on YouTube, completely invalidating the spirit of the game and the story it wants to tell.

Try getting 100% enemy data. I'm being a bit snarky since you don't need it to get all the quests and trophies, but that spawn system is the definition of time waster.
I feel Route B in no way was disrespecting my time.

I fucking looooove Nier but you can't force people to replay some sections of a game they already don't enjoy, and invalidating the spirit of the game means nothing if you don't like it.
Some people just don't like Nier and it's totally fine.
You play the same game twice, then you get new stuff. This is a Yoko taro staple.
You would HATE VLR
"The credits rolled after the first episode! I can't believe I have to watch this show 13 times to get the whole story!"
In the 35 or so hours it took me to finish this game maybe 4 or 5 hours of it was repeating content I already saw. Why? Because video games are a unique medium where only this kind of story can be told. If you're too much a baby to have to "waste" a few hours on a small portion of the game you don't deserve nier.
Those are the two endings so you're correct in that feeling.I don't feel you've actually beaten the game until C or D.
The only thing I'm not ok with in here is misinformed lazy people like you making horrible threads.And with all the praise the game got, especially here on GAF, I'm thinking that we are ok with developers hiding the real story behind multiple playthroughs?
Please tell me we are not.
"Respect my time" is to be read as "I don't like playing it". That's the only way that sentiment makes sense.
I do feel that one could be satisfied stopping at c. You don't see everything by then, but it could leave a major impression by that point.
This is actually something he always does? That sounds like the stupidest game design decision I've ever heard.
I won't lie, I had heard about the game requiring multiple playthroughs and that was the one thing that kept me from buying it. Just don't have the time to waste repeating shit or grinding these days.
Well his opinion and all...I mean it is wrong but yeah haBy the way guys, it seems OP made up his mind days ago.
That said, I still think it's a bit silly how they're called endings. Unlike most games, there's quite a bit which is different across the different paths, especially C which is entirely different.
"Respect my time" is to be read as "I don't like playing it". That's the only way that sentiment makes sense.
Then you could inform yourself or ask other people before ranting and complaing how we all should'nt be okay with this.
I never said this, stop putting words into my mouth. This thread isn't about OP's displeasure with the game.
With all due resopect, but i'm not annoyed at Op, i'm annoyed at you and your play of being intentionally obtuse
Just watch the other four endings on Youtube.
You said
"Fhtermore, OP is ranting about the idea of having to replay through a game, a game he apparently doesn't like."
Why's that an issue? Threads don't always gotta be about what you liked, so I don't see how I'm putting words in your mouth.
It basically just means they have become bored and feel like they will continue to be bored if they kept playing. It's a stupid phrase.
I too stop playing games when I'm 1/3 of the way through and wonder why the game wants me to keep playing
OP listened and OP didn't care because they didn't like Nier all that much anyway, have very limited time to play games and has a huge backlog.
You can't force people to play Nier.
It's a lot less about the grinding - the game is actually pretty accomplishable without grinding - nor about the repetition of the same story through another character's shoes, it's a whole lot more about learning that Route A's play through is a sub-plot to a story that archs over A-E. That LotR comparison is quite apt to a degree, imagine the scenario where you read only Aragorn's path from Two Towers only. Not really reading The Fellowship in its entirety, not reading Frodo's story, nor even the chapters about Merry and Pippin. Then ignoring Return of the King. That's Route A - not insane length, but in the overall context of this story, you are leaving it woefully incomplete.
Okay, that's some decent context then. I was under the impression that you had to play the whole thing for about 15 hours twice and then multiple other times, and all you got was a bit more prologue or epilogue. You make it sound like it's a lot more substantial than that, and you also seem to give at least a bit of a reason for the second playthrough.
Still not a fan of making you play the same content twice. Going 5-10 hours without seeing new content in a new game sounds horrible to me.
Y'all can stop summoning me.
I have read the posts, I have learned that you only have to replay the game once. I have already said that's not as shitty as I thought it was, but it's still shitty.
You said I'm not experiencing the whole game if I don't beat Ending C, well, that's the whole point of this thread!
The final content (or extra content, whatever you wanna call it) is still LOCKED behind a second play through. I have played the second campaign for about 2-3 hours and it's boring. Get over it. Most people here have agreed with me, and that was a bad design choice too. That's coming from fans of the game.
Yes, I said I didn't like the game that much, but I didn't say I hate it. I would love to play Ending C, especially because the character looks really interesting and I'm down for another 15 hours or whatever of Nier Automata, but not if I have to invest another 15 hours replaying through the first campaign.
And I was gone because I was eating!
Main reason why I didn't give this game a chance. I hate when games don't respect my time
