The Story Begins! | NieR: Automata First Playthrough (Part 1)

[@kaivenst]

This game is a masterpiece but it's not immediately apparent. I tried getting into the game several times and fell off. 6 years later I finally completed it and now its one of my favorite stories in gaming. Truly unique and insightful story, one of the best

[@MichaelJ7777]

If you don't hit and hold the jump button to glide with your pod I'm going to scream myself hoarse. Available since always.

[@cassynedelisky796]

I sobbed at the ending

[@2lazy2username76]

Yeah this! I bounced off once. But damn it is worth it and worth doing everything that you can as you go through.

[@ghoziakbar6410]

I know almost nothing about this game besides the fanarts and cosplays. I bought it on summer sale yesterday with some other games bcs it was on discount. This game is probably the best one out of all the games that I've bought and probably one of the best single player game I've ever played so far.

The memory backup is like altered carbon. You backup your memories like saving data so if you die your memories can be downloaded into another android at the bunker, another 2b and 9s

[@cassiopaeiavirgo2369]

Yay, new Automata fan. I hope you treasure the story-telling as much as many others have. This and Replicant/Gestalt are truly special.

[@grimslykarkit]

Now that's I've finished this myself, it's about time I watched your VODs.

[@LagunaLeonhart]

Emi Evans, the main vocalist for the entire soundtrack made up a language for the music of this game. She calls it Chaos language and its supposed to sound like all of the languages of earth but long after language, and people have left the planet. Shes also from my city which is awesome. I saw her perform in London. There are different vocals recorded between her and another french vocalist. Its probably my all time favourite score. No other game as as high of a ratio of fantastic tracks to average or worse ones. There are too many beautiful themes.

[@mitchhamilton64]

damn, thats incredible. the way it sounds, it flows so naturally, it really does sound a real language.

[@Gr13fM4ch1n3]

​@@mitchhamilton64I was stunned when I heard the vocalist was the one that made the language. So damn cool.

[@danielpeckham5520]

I'm really enjoying your reactions to this, actually exploring and trying to figure out the story. ^-^

[@DutchDread]

Man, I was sooooo sure she was gonna die during the tutorial, she was sprinting towards that game over, and then she kept on 2 hits from death for the entire second part of the boss fight XD

[@FrizFroz]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! You’ll love this game, even more so after the first two routes.

[@MichaelJ7777]

I got this game on sale last month for half price and I'm obsessed! The music is next level!

[@MrRushfanatic]

This game should played by every human being. The world would be a better place

[@estebanplourde681]

I'm not sure the world would be a better place if filled by broken nihilists unable to feel love anymore.

[@CleoKujo]

I just started playing this today

[@Mark_Awakened]

First playthrough rn had to watch your intro a bit to remember the story Im good now TY

[@adrianschmit8991]

I started playing computer games on the ZX Spectrum, and this is the best game I've ever played. The further you get into it, the more awesome it becomes.

[@mangadude8414]

She just started Automata and I'm already wishing she plays Replicant after finishing it ❤

[@RafaelBenedicto]

Use Lock-on when firing the pod weapons. Makes hitting targets much easier. Also, if you're not locking on you can move in one direction with the left stick while aiming the gun in a different direction with the right stick. This applies to everything in the game. And I mean everything.

[@XavierMacX]

OH, yeah, also... the English dub might as well be the original. Imo, but it's a common opinion for a reason.

[@XavierMacX]

In fact the VAs have a full playthrough on KZbin... their first time seeing it. It's wonderful. They're also JUST AS GOOD as anyone in FF16...:)

[@SkinnedBanana]

I haven't played this game, but have heard only good things. Will live vicariously through your playthrough haha

[@tyzz96]

Welcome to the masterpiece of 2017

[@sekirohasu]

i quitted the video cuz She was saying slay once every minute

[@MichaelJ7777]

Where can I catch this stream live in the future? I'd be there!

[@GTTB-227]

Uh oh, here we go again, another soon to be Yoko Taro victim. 😂

[@PieczykM]

Yay, im sooo in!!!!

[@megmedia019]

So cool you are playing this game, is really a masterpiece, i know is soon but if you liked automata before try to play Replicant, its a precuel and the story is even better 😁

[@Yahterai.]

Japanese is good, but there's a lot of dialogue while you're fighting, which is sometimes difficult to catch up with the subtitles.

[@Frionelz]

Absolutly. English is the way to go since it was superbly done. All the raw emotions were very well depicted

[@Yahterai.]

​@@Frionelzfor real!! The dub is so well done!

[@mitchhamilton64]

two words; Violet Evergarden and Mikasa Ackerman. *fades away*

[@XavierMacX]

Imo this has a better story than even ff16 (which I loved a lot). I hope you enjoy the ride!!

[@drdoktor77]

This game is pretty strange, but also fascinating... much like the series director, Yoko Taro. Also, yep that was Morgana's VA (Cassandra Lee Morris) as the Operator, and and the voice of your Pod is D.C. Douglas, who voiced Kamoshida and Legion in Mass Effect.

[@AICW]

This is the third robot partner he's voiced, the other one being the mech AI Valimar from the Trails of Cold Steel games.

[@evanmiller4502]

hell yeah best game ever made im so hype

[@Lalo.17]

Plz, you have to play NieR: Replicant after this as well.

[@Frionelz]

I'm excited. That being said, you would appreciate a lot more if you started with Gestalt or Replicant (if you really want graphics. But Replicant has less impactful music because of the arrangements.)

[@WitcherSigns2023]

I much prefer the replicant ost. Miles better imo

[@jayjjey1400]

Yeah, I think I like replicant better. But the Nier/Drakengard music in general is sooooooo good.

[@kilchil5438]

Y hellyea

[@平島凛-c6v]

nier anime reaction please!

[@d3lvn]

Ugh why do people always start with Automata when the first game is more accessible than ever now thanks to the remake? Experiencing the original game first enhances Automata so much.

[@danielpeckham5520]

Because it's more well known.

[@Sycophantichallenger]

Subbed for the joryney! :)
