Why isnt replicant one of the best games of all time? Cause thats not the meme. The meme is saying 2Bs ass simulator is the best game ever.
My biggest issues with Replicant stem from the way repeat playthroughs are done and the lack of variety in them.

The story and combat and music are all great.

I found out that there are other endings that you can get by beating the main story again.

I liked the game, but I don't tend to play them multiple times.

The main battle system is only a notch above not boring, while the shootemup bits are terribly bland. The worlds are drab looking, I got lost in the second level because nothing was very memorable. The best part is the story.

Edit: theres other weapons? Maybe that will make it less okay.

I watched the story on youtube cos the gameplay was boring to me I prefer bayonetta by the same company and it was OK but I don't see why its so hyped up its characters are forgettable af personality wise, the story Is good but If the characters are shit I find it harder to care what it is saying

I'm soooo tired of people acting like 2B is some emotionless robot(lol) with a cold personality that only cares about the mission, nothing else. The entire game makes it pretty clear that she's only this way because it's her way of coping with having to kill the person she loves triple digit amounts of times. Other material goes into detail that she's treated 9S like a friend, that she's been kind to him, that she's called him Nines, and nothing stops him inevitably doing the same thing that requires her to kill him in the end. So she just shuts off everything. Shit, the entire game long she ACTIVELY helps people in sidequests. She's a kind hearted person that puts on a shell of a cold hearted bitch just to cope with what she feels she has to do to save humanity. And, shit, people also think she knows humanity is gone. If she knew that, she'd never do what she does to 9S. The only reason she does what she does is FOR humanity's sake. If they were dead, it's all for nothing. So even it she thinks that, she's in heavy denial.

2B, which means 2 as a designation and B as in Battler(each YoRHa unit is similar, 9S is 9 as designation and S as Scanner) is actually revealed to be 2E. Which means 2 as a designation, E as Executioner. Basically, 9S is the best Scanner of all of them. The issue is, he is so good that he eventually finds out classified Intel about YoRHa, anything from finding out that humanity is extinct and their job of protecting humanity doesn't exist or finding out that 2B is 2E and is partnered with him specifically to kill him because he keeps hacking into classified files, or something else that requires his death.

2B, ever since the first time she met, has cared deeply for 9S. Every single time she's had to kill him, she's been heartbroken. She's tried calling him Nines(which 9S is pretty insistent on, it's kinda adorable), tried being friends with him, tried shutting him out, she has tried just about everything but every single time(it's in the triple digits) she ends up killing him. Sometimes 9S fights back. Sometimes he sneak attacks her, or gets the drop on her, but he always dies. Hell, one time she led him into a cave with hopes that she could kill him before he could react, though they were attacked and during the attack, 2B was infected with a virus. 9S hacked into her brain and saw everything. Every single time she had to kill him, it was painful for her. This time, once he had figured out who she was, she handed him her sword. She saw herself as defective. Not made for the job she was created, and she couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to give him even a sliver of what she had taken from him.

9S paused for a moment, before turning the blade on himself. 2B, in a panic, asks him why as she cradles him in her arms. He says because he always enjoyed their time together. He had fun, being with 2B. Every version of him. He knew it would always end up like this, so he told 2B not to hesitate anymore. Because even if he dies, he'll meet her again. It won't he the current him, but he's happy knowing he'll meet 2B all over again and be with her every single time until it all happens again.

So, yeah, in a way, it's kinda like a time loop.

I beat NieR: Automata.

I looked up the game on TV Tropes, and spoiled myself, because I had NO IDEA there were multiple endings that you have to beat the game multiple times to see. I thought the message after the credits was one of those "Play through the game again, but make different choices this time for a different ending" things.

Yoko Taro isn't even ashamed of being horny and that's what makes him special. He's just like "Yeah I did that shit. Yeah I made her skirt blow off if you self destruct and her ass have skin textures if you get it wet in a pool of water afterward. Cause I like that shit" and it makes him almost endearing.

It was my game of the generation and it rests in my top 5 games of all time.

The more you put into it, the better it gets. Also, the music is the best out there in my opinion.

Yeah versus Kojima where he was like "you guys whacking off to Quiet are going to feel bad because there's a practical reason she's dressed like a slut. BECAUSE SHE BREATHS THROUGH HER SKIN!"

He's not the only one.

https://noisypixel.net/master-detective-archives-rain-code-kodaka-demanded-shinigami-be-sexier/?expand_article=1
Kazutaka Kodaka, the head designer of Rain Code and probably most known for his work with the Danganronpa series, insisted that the character, Shinigami's, humanoid form be sexy.

I remember a bunch of articles where he was given 2B's design and basically told the modeling team he'd fire them if her ass wasn't perfect. This is the type of man that needs to be making games, not Todd Howard and his duct-tape and bubble gum game engine, created by the finest crayon eaters.

I will argue that it is

It came out the same week as BOTW and this story turned Zelda not just into smithereens, but then atomized those smithereens. It was that good.

I liked the hacking minigame, especially the one against A2, but there wasn't enough of them to fill out 9S's playtime.

They reminded me of the hacking minigame in Sly Cooper.
