@@Cyxie oh, hey, something you might want to look into - if you try to hack the tower main gate before it opens up after you finish the sub-units, and it knocks you back, if you do it again immediately, it might delay the trigger or something for the enemies to spawn in and let you almost entirely hack the tower? It happened to me while farming up chips in that chapter, but I couldn't replicate it later, not that I tried especially hard.
@@kylerclarke2689 I mean thinking the japanese version better is one thing but there is absolutely nothing wrong with this dub, so what are you talking about?
Hi Fullest and the rest of NieR:Automata Speedrunning community, don't know if you remember me, but It's so great to see a run at gdq of Automata again. Very nice and helpful community, that helped me a lot even though I never even got to do a single run x) Also best game ever
So many memories with this game, by far one of my most beloved games of all time. Im not a emotional type of person and not many things gets me to tear or something like that, but this game made me feel like a crybaby almost all the time... I was completly immersed on the history and the dialogues and the characters that some parts of the game made me cry and feel sorry for the characters (yeah, for real i feel really bad for them) and had to stop playing it for some days cause i was emotionally exahusted. Its a game that i recommend to all gamers around the world, its a "mustbuy" by all means. And it gives such a cool message to the player, i beat it like 4 times i think, and always got tear on my eyes on some parts, specially the Pascal village and also reaching the end of the game :´) Great run btw
Well, this ending made me cry alright... from the moment i heard the chorus (Which sadly was overtalked), to the very ending of basicly "hope is not lost. The future can be saved"....to the point of... saying goodbye and loosing all of your progress.

Oh god this made my heart skip a beat showing up in my sub feed! The NieR series, specially Automata, is one of my absolute faves, I was lucky enough to get the BECOME AS GODS Edition for Xbox One and I cried. I've followed this game ever since it came out and would'v never imagined a year later I'd be playing it myself! Also as a fellow cosplayer who hope to make 9S's DLC attire, I am, _so_ happy to see those cosplays on the sofa! That definitely made my day! Glory to Mankind!
Donated for the first time after many years of watching these events on youtube. First time I was able to catch a run live and for one of my favourite games no less! A little disappointed I never heard my donation comment read but really enjoyed the run :)
They mention they did a run on very hard, where they see endings A to Z, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a link to that? I would love to see it! Thanks in advance, and great seeing this game in AGDQ!
If you're meaning Vanilla English PS2 FFXII then no, as that run is 5-6 hours if you're meaning The Zodiac Age (on PC or on PS4) then perhaps, but considering that's an RPG whereas Neir Automata is more of an Adventure Hack and Slash with RPG Elements implemented into it (In my opinion at least), FFXII TZA would be more suited for RPG Limit break with other titles like Okage Shadow King, Earthbound, etc the only FF games that usually make it to GDQs are IV/VI
Man I really hope one of platinum’s 2019 “surprises” is a switch port, I’ve wanted to play this game for a long time and don’t want to borrow a copy if I can ply on my own console
Awesome. Thanks so much! I am a casual player and already 2 hours in the game so I could not do that. But I learned many things so maybe I can at least use the SD for some parts where it was intended to. :D
I've played it on PC since it came out and I've yet to have it crash, so I guess I've gotten lucky. I haven't downloaded it personally, but I keep hearing good things about the FAR mod that's available, so if you haven't already you may want to check that out to see if it helps :D
Did you try the fan-made fix? I believe it is called FAR (Fix Automata Resolution) and has helped a lot of people who had issues with things like crashing.
She pronounced the word correctly, but the title of the game incorrectly. The game refers to itself as "Auto-mah-tah" in Ending E, rather than "Awe-tom-atah".
@@Karuvitomsk SmoothOperative (the announcer) and I actually talked about this before the run. We figured for the sake of consistency we would just pick one of the pronunciations, and figured the dictionary pronunciation would be a better choice between the two.
Ah this is because faster load times and better practice tools. Also with the help of FAR for a lot of people better consistent framerate, so technically faster but there have been great runners who ran on console. A big majority run pc though because of the reasons above
Mackerel is the fastest speedrun and it's actually faster than O because we clip out of the first room in prologue and catch a mackerel in under 8 minutes. Fastest Prologue takes about 14 minutes which you need to do to get O. W technically is the fastest but isn't an official run for probably obvious reasons haha
This looks sick on pc ! But I thought the pc port is crap. I hate the moment when 2b dies. It’s just sad. But this is why the game is so awesome. It goes deep inside the rabbithole. And the soundtrack - OMG
I hate to say it, but it's really a downer when the donators talk about their previously or recently deceased loved ones. I kinda wish they wouldn't do that to keep the moral and mood of the run positive and happy. I understand why they do it, but it really makes me sad whenever I hear it. Just so you know, my mom is a 3 time melanoma survivor and a case of ovarian cancer just this year. Just so people dont tell me that I dont understand or sympathize.
Runner introduction starts at 0:25.
Run starts at 1:13.
Couch Commentary is provided by Shabu, Mytherium, and Kanaris.
SmoothOperative is the host.
E ending would be so perfect for a future GDQ closer. Total masterpiece of a game.
Man even the speedrun still makes me tear up. What a great game. This runner and couch made this a very enjoyable four hours.
One of the best games of the decade
Eh
I have watched so many playthroughs and several speedruns of this game... and Ending E still always makes me cry
2:16:12 What the.. I had no idea you could do that
So for a full hour and a half I thought that 9S was a manequin as every time I've looked he was in the same position.

Neir Automata might be hands down my favorite game ever made. And coach is right, the English VO is top tier stuff.

GLORY TO MANKIND!

GLORY TO THE IMPERATOR OF MANKIND
wait, wrong game
Glory to mankind!
Great to see a run of my favorite action game of all time! I love this game so much, even if it certain moments gave me PTSD. Glory to Mankind!!!
My man was enjoying his life to the fullest in the intro haha
That is how to be happy!
his name is Fullest too, i like this guy

Hey dude! Thanks and yeah definitely best game ever.
Hey long time no see! Glad to hear you have good memories. Thanks for watching! :]

5 years late. cried watching this run. 10/10.
This game changed me and was able to improve my daily mindset on life ever since i played it. I love it so much :D
Happy to hear that Alex Navarro, DA DRUM GAWD, got immortalized in this run.

I'm loving SmoothOperatives voice. Such a pleasure hearing it :)
Are we not going to talk about how the couch is evidently trolling us trough out the entire run haha

Can't believe they actually got YorHa on the couch
Takes me 8 hours to complete a casual run. Props. Impressive speedrun.
my favorite game of all time
a 10/10 that I didn't give to only 2 other games released sooo many years ago
I love it soooo much
The cosplay is amazing =D
Man I love this game so much
wonderful speed run
This might be the only game I owned and played in the entire GDQ19 fleet, and because of that, I dropped my jaw every time I see a wall skip!
the [A] ending still makes me cry, even if it is mostly skipped in a speedrun...
I appreciate the consolation butt cheeks though

@@Akita23 They did a 9 hr run of ff9 though.
They also had ff9 any% this agdq
FFIX made it and is 9 hours
You need to watch rpg limit break, which is basically this but for rpgs.
my fvourite game i have ever played. first run clocked in at 24 hours.... this is gonna be good :D
How do you do the dive attack at 20:20?
my favorit game
Man I really hope one of platinum’s 2019 “surprises” is a switch port, I’ve wanted to play this game for a long time and don’t want to borrow a copy if I can ply on my own console
It already drops frames on PS4.
it's on PC
Jesus if you think the switch can handle this shit you fucked man. Can't even run on 60fps consistently on PS4
To quote mister taro himself
“If you want a switch port, beg on Twitter”
In NieRussia: Automata, animals kills you!
Awesome. Thanks so much! I am a casual player and already 2 hours in the game so I could not do that. But I learned many things so maybe I can at least use the SD for some parts where it was intended to. :D
Want to start speedrunning, looks like I didnt pick a bad game to start with
did he... load when he was suppose to save at 1:04:00 ?
He saved just before loading.
Nah. The load was to port back. It auto saved in the menu screen before the load.
I use the far mod while playing this game on my 1060 and i get constant stuttering when running around. How does he not?
38:37 avert your eyes children!
This game is so fucking insane
3:02:05 I guess they never miss huh
I hate the fucking soul box
Huh. So that's what he looks like.
Yeehaw part 2
Can anyone link me the stream of the guy playing
www.twitch.tv/fullest_
Damn, 45 seconds short.
how do they play the PC version without it crashing? I can't play it for more then 45 min without it crashing, some times it crashes in like 5 min...
Taylor probably far mod fix bro . I already spent 40+ hours on pc wandering around the world of nier automata .
I would wager that's an issue with your system. It isn't perfect on PC but it's only crashed twice in 30 or so hours for me.
open source game fix. its online somewhere. Sadly this was to be a non-Square patch. Other users had to fix the game.
I've played it on PC since it came out and I've yet to have it crash, so I guess I've gotten lucky.
I haven't downloaded it personally, but I keep hearing good things about the FAR mod that's available, so if you haven't already you may want to check that out to see if it helps :D
Did you try the fan-made fix? I believe it is called FAR (Fix Automata Resolution) and has helped a lot of people who had issues with things like crashing.
First. I am so ready for this run. It happened while I was at work so I am so excited to finally catch it!
Best game ♥
This is honestly in my top 3 games easily. This, Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 5. Don't know what order though
Hi GDQ runners/commentators! I think it'd be a lot more interesting if you guys explain about the cutscenes that are skipped :D
This was a wasted opportunity. Ending E is perfect for a primetime crowd (if not the event closer).
Did they use FAR for this run? Or was it unnecessary?
Why can I not enjoy this game while everyone else loves it???
I never knew you could taunt like that. Always thought taunting was only possible once you play A2.
Well, now I know, I guess.
The game actually doesn't tell you unless you buy a taunt chip from a vendor. Tutorials in this game can be quite silly sometimes.
The Announcers voice is so nice to listen to anyone know who she is?
Smoothoperative. She's hosting a bunch for SDGQ 2019 and also doing a run.
All the times they facetiously say “just doing get hit,” are they all smash fans? Do they know of Isai?
1:34:45 That is fucking awesome XD
That shmup section reminds me of musha aleste
NeiR ? What's that ? :p
That 9S cosplayer was hella deticated with his blindfold, holy shit.
Thanks ❤️
Sucks this run was so late in the night
Is this the longest speedrun on adgq of all time ?
No, this year they had a 9+ hour run of FFIX, SGDQ 2017 they had 8 hours of FFVII.
Definitely not, there have been multiple 4 hour runs before. The longest run was an 11 hour FF8 or FF9 run.
Holy fuck
Here is a tip ABS
Cool
Props to the announcer for pronouncing "Automata" correctly.
She pronounced the word correctly, but the title of the game incorrectly. The game refers to itself as "Auto-mah-tah" in Ending E, rather than "Awe-tom-atah".
Seriously, bugs the shit out of me when people don't say it right.
@@Karuvitomsk In the Japanese VO, the game says it "Oh-to-ma-ta".

OMFG that couch is so hot!
Isn's I think ending O quicker than mackrel... Get to bunker sell OS chip.
Ending W is to literally die in the prologue.
Mackerel is the fastest speedrun and it's actually faster than O because we clip out of the first room in prologue and catch a mackerel in under 8 minutes.

The japanese dub is superior, and you're wrong if you disagree.
Didn't know personal preferences were facts. Way to be smug, and show that elitist attitude that Japanese dub people have been stereotyped to have.
Lol. No.
