Well, I finally picked Nier Automata back up the past couple of days and finished it today. ~40 hours total to complete the three main good endings.
What I found funny was I saw an argument on what constitutes "Finishing" it since there are multiple endings. Some were arguing that as soon as you get hte first ending and the credits roll, the game is technically finished. I can't go along with that in this case as basically endings A, B, and C/D all add content, especially C/D.
I mean, if it's just a credit roll, isn't it Far Cry 4 where you could complete the game by simply not exiting the first room you're in within a set amount of time like 15 minutes or something?
Anyhow, the game was a like not love for me. I just can't get as emotionally invested in the robotic characters as I think many could, and the combat wasn't really crisp enough. Once I had the right chips and auto-chips on, and weapons upgraded, I was just slicing through everything like butter. I'll score it 7.5 / 10. But I do see how it might be more appealing to others, the game is unique and has a cool style. Soundtrack really sticks out given its style just hasn't been repeated anywhere else that I know of.
My next conquest will be Death Stranding. Wish me luck, it's been amusing reading how divisive the game is. I hope I like it.
