I like Automata but it was also a bit of a let down because despite being a better made game, I still liked the first Nier way more. I do wonder how much more I would have liked Automata if I hadn't played the original first. Though I guess it wasn't just Nier. In general, story wise, I think Automata is the weakest written of all the Taro Drakengard stuff (2 doesn't count because I don't think he worked on that). It's just the nature of the plot makes it harder to get attached to the characters and it doesn't get quite hosed up enough, like Drakengard 1 did, to make up for that.

You can make up for it by buying me a game I don't have that you like but I'll probably hate if you want.

Agreed with the gestalt > automata sentiment btw...Nier 1 has the better story and more inventive structure but on the other hand, I adore the way Automata looks sounds and feels to actually play. I like both of them a lot

Are you seeing something I'm not? It looks like Kotaku is under new management and is potentially going to be even shittier, but I don't see any reason to think it's going anywhere.

Everyone seems to be resigning in solidarity with others who got fired from their sister sites. So no sites are shutting down at the moment but all the writers are like, seemingly giving their notice within the last hour.

This public equity firm fired a popular Deadspin editor and the union all the writers belong to is taking action and possibly has a lot of people resigning in solidarity, including at Kotaku.

Yeah like the Kotaku brand, the "brand" hasn't really meant much for like what, a decade now? And whenever there's been good pieces from the site almost everyone would refer to the pieces by the actual authors. Like, "Hey did you see that new piece Schreier did?" Or Tolito or Klepek and so on. It's hardly ever been "That Kotaku article" unless it was like...a really bad one.
