I just finished Nier: Automata last night. <br /><br />Strangely enough, I missed the offer to delete my saved games in service to others because the lead-in question simply asked if I wanted to leave any helpful words. Normally I would have answered yes to a question like that, but I just didn't feel like keying in letters with a gamepad from my couch. How funny and almost apropos that I rejected communication with others, the very thing that the pods had just identified as helping them to evolve beyond their original programming, in an attempt to avoid a small bit of hassle. I almost felt bad afterward, especially considering how quickly Pod 042 confirmed my choice and unceremoniously returned me to the title screen.<br /><br />In any case, I was really moved by the endings. The D ending that results from choosing 9S definitely feels like a punishment or warning to the player for choosing to support such vindictive behavior. The intensity of his physical and emotional pain was beyond anything I expected to see or hear. It was incredibly difficult to experience. The voice actor really deserves some recognition for that performance.<br /><br />I need some time to reflect, but I am surprised at how much this game and its characters have grown on me. It has been difficult to wind down after finishing. I cannot say that I have had an RPG experience quite like that in recent memory.Redriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378989353891730310noreply@blogger.com
