I wonder, is Nier 2 a lot better than Nier 1? It's odd to see anyone outside SomethingAwful know or care about Tara Yoko's weird games. Nier 1 was a fairly unremarkable game to me but that could be due to all the hype I rea about how it was a masterpiece of writing.

Plus the message bugged the hell out of me and I felt it was very much the definition of grimderp when you started killing babies.

But this is why I never got the sequel.
Nier Automata has better gameplay(Platinum Games really helped there), and has a happy ending in it's final ending(super bittersweet though, but happier than his usual). Story is about equal, from what I've heard.
 
I look forward to enjoying Wife Punching Simulator 2018
 
Oh god. Please tell me the over the top slightly too loud orchestral score is going to be a thing in the game.
 
I remain skeptical that the game's decision trees will be as involved and detailed as this trailer claims them to be.

I'm just assuming there's going to be time travel where you go back and redo shit you've already seen.

Because the premise just seems too simple and straightforward for a David Cage game so far. There has to be some other crazy shit that the game will clumsily drop on us. Every game he's ever made does that.

Maybe humanity is the real robots and the robots are really humans trapped in the Matrix?
 
Alternatively, this is what happened when Reverend Spears "New Motive Power" (Google it, it's amazing) actually worked, and his electric Messiah is the secret mastermind behind everything. Bonus points if the "Society of Electrizers" (another part of Spear's fascinating religious beliefs - essentially, the Electrizers are undead apostles of human technological accomplishment, including Benjamin Franklin) are either secretly behind the robot rebellion or are leading the movement to suppress it.

tl;dr, it's all because of smart people ghosts creating the Patriots in 19th-century America using magnets and a dining room table.
 
How cheap are those robots that a guy with a daughter and who presumably spend most of his money on booze can afford one?

Might have bought it when he was still sober (and, I assume, when his wife was still alive). Also, perhaps Kara was bought on loan or credit, or under a payment plan?

But the availability of these robots as just an ordinary consumer good point to there having been some massive changes to human society in the meantime, which I'm not necessarily sure will get fully explored or addressed in this game.

But that's me being overly cynical and uncharitable, so it's entirely possible that this will get addressed by the writing and worldbuilding. We'll just have to wait until the game comes out.

Except the drawings from the little girl indicate that Kara is not the first one he has owned, and that all the others got broke when got angry and took it out on the easy target.
