VLR lets you jump to any point you want, with minimal replaying. Nier sounds a lot more obnoxious than that, if ending B is what it sounds like.You would HATE VLR

Not as bad, but still bad.No. You have to replay it once, the rest is new story.
The real issue here is people like you OP, that are unable to look past their preconceived notions of what an ending is and decide to go in full on whine mode without even getting their facts straight. DSP already has this role covered.
Not as bad, but still bad.
I'd rather watch the multiple endings on Youtube, that's what I'm doing right now.
People sure are misinformed. You can't blame them. it's dumb to call these 'endings', that implies multiple playthroughs when it's not. I personally find the structure of the game unnecessary, they could avoid it and integrate everything into one route and cut the filler in B. Director is crazy, what can you do...
I think it's partly the game's fault too. I don't know why they insist on calling them endings, they should be chapters or acts.
It's not multiple playthroughs. The only reason it seems like that is because there's credits. You're not actually playing the game though multiple times. They could be labeled chapters and very little would really change. It just so happens that route B overlaps with route A a fair bit. C/D/E are completely different.I just finished Nier Automata (Ending A) and apparently, I now have to play through the same game another 4 times to fully understand the story and experience the game?
Whose idea was that? I'm currently on my second playthrough but the repetition is boring me to death. And it's just the SECOND of FIVE playthroughs.
I'm sorry but I have other games to play.
Young adults are the target audience for Nier Automata, and as one of them, I certainly don't have time to play through the same game over and over again just to watch a bunch of extra scenes leading to different endings. The gameplay, the quests... the core of the game is the same no matter how many cosmestic changes you add to each play through.
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.
If you ignore the beginning section, the entire cult part, the entire part between the flooded city and the ending, then yes "It's the same thing"
Just look at people explaining it in this thread, you expect others to understand this before getting a detailed explanation? People will always be confused by it because it's confusing.It's tiring that people still think this

Step 1 is realizing that people like different things and it's okay to accept that you won't like everything other people like.If you you got bored with the route A good luck with route B lol. It's such a chore.
I don't understand how this game is so well liked.
Not as bad, but still bad.
I'd rather watch the multiple endings on Youtube, that's what I'm doing right now. I refuse to play through the game a second time, I only game on weekends and I have at least another ten PS4 games sitting on my shelve.
And yeah, to add to that, I'm not really a big fan of Nier Automata. The last moments were awesome, but overall it was pretty boring. The combat system is too dull and uninspiring for me.
To me, Route B was a mistake tbh.
Should have incorporated the 9S segments in route A, and kept it tighter.
Route B alone damped my take on the whole game, thankfully route C through E are not a retread.
Nier is a great game, but it could have been even better in my opinion.

I loved route B. I found hacking to be really fun and I missed it by the time I moved on to route C.

A long game should never require multiple plays. I love Platinum games but this really turned me off. I'm sorry for not agreeing. I will eventually play Nier someday... I have the soundtrack and it makes me want to play it... but with Zelda and Persona around I can't play a long game 5 times at the moment.

Who cares if they are called endings? There's enough non-spoiler information out there to know exactly how the game works. It's unique in its own way, God forbid a game try to be. Being willfully ignorant and proud of it is what goes on here.
The game didn't called them endings

"Fuck replay value"
"Fuck postgame content"

Erm, did you read the thread you're posting in.

Seems like the thread agrees that B sucks. Guess all that new content wasn't enough to save 9B's boring ass campaign.

Keep hearing complaints about the gameplay in recent threads. Though it was supposed to be Platinum brilliance?
