initially, you can't save, but after the into, you should be able to, and the game will make it clear.

and if you have a 360/PS3, you should also try out Nier, since even though it's not required to enjoy Automata, playing through Nier will have you appreciating it more, and having a better understanding of some story elements/characters.

and make sure to beat the story three times.

Is it a short game, then? The list of games I've played through 3 times is extremely short.

Don't bother playing the opening on Very Hard.
Wasn't planning on playing the game on Very Hard tbh

it's just that each playthrough either changes character perspectives and/or the context of what's going on.

and technically, you have to beat the game four times before you're given access to the main ending, but after the third ending, you're given chapter select, so it's not so bad.

so the game has - route a, route b, route c, and each ending corresponds with its route (like, you get ending a after completing route a) with the exception of route c, where you can get either ending c or d depending on your choice.

and after you've gotten endings a-d, then it immediately goes to ending e.

there are also endings f-z, but those ones are joke endings, and you can receive them almost any time during your playthrough depending on something you've done or failed to do.

edit: and it's a pretty decently sized game, but you keep your upgrades/chips/weapons, iirc.

I wish people wouldn't say this, it's misleading and puts people off. It's just a game with multiple parts.

Prolly the best rpg of our generation. And it's consistent throughout, at least in my experience. Thought I wouldn't enjoy the 2nd route but found it still incredibly fun

The less you know, the better. This was an impulse buy, and it's now one of the greatest games of all time. Did NOT expect that experience.

And also, you may think you've started the game, but you will know when the game truly starts. Asked my brother when he realized this was as good as I told him since he too loves it, and he named the part I'm talking about.

The best when you swing the camera to get a better look up the skirt, she notices and knocks it away.

you can self-destruct, and it'll destroy her skirt.

then you can just heal and continue playing in that way.

Not to mention the ones trying to lay pipe.

But yeah, there's a self-destruct option (click in both sticks and hold). Never really seen a reason to use it aside from the...clothes damage aspect. *cough*

You can.
