 Hello and welcome welcome welcome I'm Philip Magnus and it is my great pleasure to finally be able to play and to play with you near Automata a game by one of my favorite developers Platinum Games it is a Japanese role-playing game and it is bound to be amazing I hope as long as the port is good long story short there once was a game called near for the PlayStation 3 I never played that game but I have heard that it's very good this is in a way its successor although from what I understand the story doesn't have much in common with what was in near same setting different stories entirely and not many callbacks either but let us go into it without further ado this game does not support autoplay play the game to find out how to save oh excellent I do not mind that one little bit username Magnus yes difficulty select the standard most enjoyable difficulty probably well I'm going to go for normal because I'm horrified since I know how difficult an insane game can be pardon a platinum game difficult and insane a platinum game can be that's what I meant oh goody goody goody I'm so excited is designed to end we are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death is this a curse or something of punishment I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle and wonder if we'll ever have the chance to kill him well I love killing girls I'm not gonna lie so if I get the opportunity I'm going to cut them side from side your house squadron come in to be here all units have penetrated the stress that's me I'm to be to be or not to be all units confirmed we've passed the 50 kilometer threshold and are proceeding toward the target understood once you reach their anti-air defenses proceed to manual attack formation then destroy the Goliath class unit by any means necessary and gather what data you can understood that looks horrifying 12 h down all units activate manual mode and rely on seems like I'm playing a free load oh boy origin point I am playing a bullet shoot them up all right so I cannot I do not have the authority to shoot or do anything else or we are flying like rather we're being killed off like flies by gigantic laser and in case you don't know flies don't really mash up well with gigantic lasers I love the music I love shift all right so that's how this game begins interesting wait nice I have to admit I did not expect the game to begin quite like this not saying that I'm not enjoying it I have a lot I haven't played a shoot him up was it was that the name of that genre in a very long time probably since 2012 time passes so easily heavy attack what is this control scheme it's ridiculous all right so I'm not using my mask for anything whatsoever huh this is not the what what I got what we are gigantic robots all of a sudden to fight with a laser this is like this is the best of anime ah not my last buddy I'm having a really bad day well not as bad as my friends it's like the best way an anime can begin and it can continues to change the way I whoa I am so bad at this kind of thing oh boy oh no now someone is going to show up the perspective continues to change constantly that is super distracting oh I leveled up so good up bloody hell no no you don't know you don't get out excellent haha field of might of my blade I'm a fierce opponent I know would be nice oh you are extra big and extra unpleasant yes yes yes yes yes yes yes go away get your data has been updated oh that's me well that's one hell of a way to make an entrance oh now the real fun is about to begin what why is that can't I all right so pardon a moment can I by any chance change my controls and oh I wish I had my controller on that would be so nice customized keyboard all right so light attack heavy attack so am I to guess then that yeah I'm just going to click real quickly like do this all right so that apparently shows that I'm using huh that's weird control scheme it is a port so it's bound to have some wobbly controls all right I have to get nice all right so how can I nice nice nice oh make them explode explosions wonderful explosions and chaos abrupt case it makes me so happy oh so that's how I wait nice now let's oh my god that is awesome enemies destroyed not quite all right one thing I'm going to point out is that as soon as we get into movie mode which I am going to get is a 30 fps frame rate slows down awful what the what this is kind of gigantic how do I how do I deal with this all right all right don't forget to use shift all right not now operator use pause program what's that come on so close now come on I'm gonna get you don't you worry yes yes this is more fun than I have hoped and I see what you know the deal with that particular strike but guess what I won't need to not anymore one hopes yes yes I was right did I perhaps have to jump it not certain hello side kick actually dead next time that was dangerous man yes it was side kick you're to be right my name is not as I'm here to provide support good news so was that big old buzz saw the Goliath you came here to take out no just another defensive system oh well I guess we have to find the target then huh I've got a flight unit so I'll take a look around the perimeter all right I'll work my way inside from the ground go do that mate yeah I can see how this would be somewhat easier with a controller hey I'm one agile robot person all right died already that's where I'm supposed to go then everyone I go chaos and explosions follow this this my friends is true beauty oh loot yeah let's take that copper ore come on let's slice you and dice you gents I don't know what you lot are hey I obtained a broken key and Jill Jill for those of you who don't know is like the uniform currency in all Japanese RPGs yes that's so awesome how the perspective changes constantly all the time and look at this it looks nice it's really they have nailed down the abandoned dead earth look I think let's see if there are any secrets oh that's kind of confusing I'll admit goodbye this is kind of like a platforming section which is super interesting so far this game is gone wait whoa whoa whoa whoa last thing I want is to ah beautiful oh well don't want to fall and the music the music is really nice come on the lot of you think it's fair to do all of that this game fills me with joy haven't now must face can go eat my grandmother's eggs and that sounds more perverted than I meant to come on haha to the ground you lot you too know your place come on let's have this one go in style because it's tiny bits tiny little bits I have never so much enjoyed plotting on gamers right now well I quite liked Metal Gear of Engines it brought me to similar whoa it brought me to similar levels of ridiculous joy this is fantastic yeah that's why right there's red oh should I no actually that's where I came from all right so that is where I'm going that's perfectly all right by me take that broken key why scanners like me mostly work alone scouting out enemy lines and all that I don't usually get a partner it's kind of fun emotions are prohibited sorry man and another thing stop calling me ma'am huh it's unnecessary to be it is sorry I thought I saw something for a moment but yeah this game has me nearly hooked on it I'm actually afraid that it will all end or that it will become bad all of a sudden of course which is whoa I took some very all right I'm gonna admit that this section is a little bit weird mainly because I was trying to fight when what happened is that I ended up what's this come on nice for the record I don't know how I did half the things I do on the ground lot nope see not that difficult you just have to time it well they're a bit nasty though is this where I'm going this elevators controls are locked and cannot be used interesting why is that I suppose I'm going to have to unlock them then this place sure is big it is I guess humans used to use it as a weapons factory but now it's crawling with machines maybe the machines were the weapons to increase their overall machine production so if we don't destroy it they'll just keep coming so where should I go that way whoa molten metal interesting this is not not exactly what I would describe as something that looks beautiful but it certainly looks really damn good and again with the continuous changes in perspective I'm continually kept on my well I forgot the words not on my knees certainly that would be just weird now this this I won't lie kind of difficult all of a sudden this particular change in perspective is not my most favorite right now whoa back back back back right now I should take care of those as well can I go back to looking at my character in the normal way sort of feeling like I'm playing a shooting up what no meaning behind what the machines do I'm pretty sure that this game is going to be filled with meaning behind what the machines do uh-oh all right so let's try and take as many of them as possible whoa I have some crazy moves with two blades with one blade with blades going in a flurry in front of me it's madness but the good kind of madness in fact the best kind of madness a madness filled with explosions whoops probably not the wisest place to go into hey you know what robots you are really nice at dying it's like you were made for it let's go on our way then this is intense all right gonna take care of the shooters first that's enough out of you lads good to know that I do not lose health from falling short distances anyway another one I wonder if this is the elevator from earlier perhaps a short cut for later after a boss battle all right well they're no longer bulletproof are they oh hello you've got really large shields and you hit really hard I don't like you much okay your shield whoa okay so I need to be super alert I need to be really care oh the dodging system is not as easy as it appears you have to be very careful about your timing but when you succeed it is awesome to look at that's enough out of you oh pardon it is not enough in fact it is well careful careful careful better to be slow and steady with those I think I'm losing far too many of my what's its names all right anyone else apparently not the music is just giving me such awesome old school well not exactly old school but like final fantasy 10 vibes for some reason really intense I'll bed final fantasy moments wonder if I can no I cannot the Japanese have never been no oh my used to be probably because the environments changed that's nice pretty I like it let's see then oh oh something big something big is going to happen now and I'm pretty sure it's going to be metal yeah I'm expecting my first boss battle with something big and scary and awful bridge it's a bit of a hike but should we check it out it's not like command to get a location wrong I guess even they get bad it's in the sky time huh it's going to fall just in front of me now I wouldn't bet on that or it's underwater no oh two of those bollocks bollocks bollocks high power jamming detected no response from long range communications doesn't matter all this taken out why am I not attacking right now because either fell asleep for a moment just thinking of the enemy oh wonderful two of them now I do not know how to avoid this should I try and good game thank you for watching that was a playthrough no I'm good obviously not obviously something else is going to happen please don't tell me I begin from the beginning that would suck everything that lives is designed to end we are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death is this a curse seriously punishment it begins from the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle no wonder if we'll ever have the chance to kill him well that is charming all right I am back it took me only 20 minutes such joy really replaying what you've already played but I get that this is intentional as you see I cannot quick save as much as I would like to so I will just have to be very very careful now to I have learned some important lessons for example I can use this and this which I will use soon as the battle begins and I can obviously use healing items instead of waiting for them to activate themselves yes yes we shall not like a man to get from time to time huh I'm so nervous I really really really do not want to die on that let's do this me right oh right all right all right all right perfect no oh so let's do so all I had to do was just stay really really far away from this what what ah this is all fine all right now is my time you're mine I was foolish before but I'm foolish no longer or am I probably still am but I know what I'm all right with my foolishness ah nice I can even stop them oh oh something is happening is the boss is the boss coming this is not the boss obviously this was just the annoying thing that I let's kill me because I was a foolish creature target enemy detected uh oh oh no it is I knew it was somewhere in here this is going to be massive massive in the most horrifying ways it's a bionicle it is horrifying and the epic music begins and this is going to be fun unless you know unless either this is going to take a while and that was really unpleasant all right so we've got visual indicators yay damn it did not dodge this one use this one then I don't know hey I think I managed to dodge this one hey buddy want to help out I really appreciate it this is really intense what's your status this is the target I'm going to destroy yes I'll provide support yes I am I suppose I will have that thank you 9s oh what am I thank you gee I did not think of that for the moment all right again you horrifying me big boss man this is really now it's time to do something hacking in we can do that without the first time around that's really useful oh of course why not thanks mate am I to go and find 9s now I'm going after him all right I am undone so the boss is the building the building is the boss or at least part of the oh no let me guess I'm now on the boss what an unfortunate turn of events it's like someone has planned for me to be in the oh news get better all the time out of my way if it's quick hey can I cut your head off probably not that's about right all right so I haven't died again which is you know real nice if I only survive a little bit longer maybe save 9s or at least get his box so we can transport him in another body oh a little robot like friend of mine no you do not do any of that hunting to me you crappy shabby robot you die you explode I do and I will see me staunching gel and logic virus vaccines then access inadvisable the subject's vital signs are too poor to attempt field repair the dandroids dream of electric sheep I love this game so much he's having a whole dying thing I don't call him by the way what what's that HO 229 like unit command 677 received oh does the front unit transferred from 9s to 2b requesting acknowledgement please give me your blacks black box or something along those lines so I can you know stuff it in a new body so you don't die horribly stop adding me to your friends list random people it's so annoying so uncut all right so now what I haven't killed him yet so the madness continues oh I really don't like this well we do so it's only natural that machines have some secrets as well oh I'm so horrified of dying it's not even funny control how do I this is horrifying horrifying what you don't have it it's on now finally am I done with this creature because I really love this oh not done yet or maybe I am oh my I am might also exactly I like you ouch bloody hell talk about bringing the battle to them ought to be contact command request assistance I really dislike it doesn't look like that's going to be necessary visuals what oh great what guys I know you are platinum and all that but you really don't need to make me hate my life this is going to end well I hear it is your black box it's ready destruction of enemy hostiles via black box reaction are we going to blow them away from orbit yes yes we are it was an honor to fight with you truly the honor was mine so the black boxes whoa that is awesome one hell of a way to jump start a game meetings space that's probably just check and see what's so mission complete and all that huh the goliaths were wiped out and we secured a route into enemy territory now we can 9s yeah thank you for uploading my data to the bunker I did that sorry I don't remember there wasn't a whole lot of bandwidth down there you know I probably only had enough time to back up your memories mine are only intact up to the point just before we rendezvoused oh that's too bad we became friends glory to mankind glory to mankind I lost a friend he sacrificed his memories for me thank you for watching if you enjoyed my video please like share and subscribe if you'd like to see more click on one of the boxes that just appeared or that
