Topic title for the most part. I picked it up after hearing the Giant Bomb folks talking about it, was not expecting a game with schmup elements.

It came from the people who made the game Nier.

It's good because those people made it.

It's a true sequel to Nier, made by Platinum

No doubt of its quality

I wonder if I should ever play Drakengard 1. Nier was amazing and led me to play Drakengard 3 because I was willing to trust that I'd enjoy another Yoko Taro game. And Automata is amazing too.

But yeah, it came from the guy who made Nier (and Platinum)

Was the first Nier similar and as good? I never paid attention to it

I haven't played it, but my understanding is that the battling is worlds apart.
Automata is so good.

The first Nier is similar in story and setting. The main difference is the combat, which is much improved with Platinum at the helm. Still worth playing and I actually like it more than Automata despite the combat system.

I love Drakengard.

You probably shouldn't play Drakengard.

The story, characters and music were all as good or better, but the gameplay and graphics were much worse. The combat does still have the bullet hell stuff though and it's an amazing game in its own right. Liam O'Brien is amazing.

Original Nier is definitely a game you should play as well. Some things it does even better, though Automata is without a doubt the better full package. Nier's combat is clunky, but it's better than, like, Dynasty Warriors.

The ideas are just as good, execution of ideas is not as good especially in gameplay

The problem though is that Nier 2 covers basically everything from Nier 1 which makes it kinds obsolete

First Nier has a better cast, story, party banter, and feels imo. It also just has this sort of magic about it to me

Automata has better gameplay

Pods didn't do much for me. I preferred the banter and broship between Nier and Weiss along with the family feel the Nier 1 crew had.

None of that is arguable.

Nier just straight up had a better story and characters all around.

All of it is arguable because you are talking about subjective opinions.

My opinion is never subjective it is the most objectively correct thing there is
