Playing as 9S isn't fun.

[MTV]

So I just finished ending A and wasn't impressed with the storyline in this game. However, I keep hearing people say to do more endings before judging, so I'm going for ending B now. I already hate playing as 9S because of the hacking mini-game. I keep screwing up the hacks on the first boss. I assume the hacking is only going to get more hard as I play?

I'm honestly considering quitting the game because I really am not enjoying hacking. Any tips or should I just quit the game?

I would ignore it. There aren't too many situations where it's mandatory. In many cases, all it really does is make fights longer (comparing a situation where it takes 20 seconds to hack an enemy to a situation where it takes about 4 or 5 seconds to slash it to death).

Yes I think I will take your advice. Don't I need to do hacking to see some of the story content though? I need to hack A2 right? I guess I will look up the sections I need to hack and just turn it on easy for those parts.

Yeah, occasionally it's mandatory. But you'll know it when it happens, since 9S or pod 153 will suggest hacking.

If you don't like hacking, do keep in mind that 9S does have heavy hits with delayed input attacks and such. He just can't handle two weapons at once because he's not a combat model. Though if you ever get more comfortable with hacking, you can chip away enemy health like nobody's business.

You dont need a special training for hacking - you can always use "autofire" and "autoevade" modules - it will do the same trick in hacking.

I don't like 9s line mostly because of his hysterical personality. Must be quite doubtful for S-model behaviour pattern.

hacking simulator for 9s xD

I thought his behavior was completely warranted, considering he behaved normally up until his entire world came crashing down -- everyone he had ever known, including the person he cared about more than anything else, died, only to find out they died for absolutely nothing; not to mention the god he was fighting for the entire time turned out to be a lie, rendering his entire existing meaningless, AND the person he loved the most was murdering him over and over, taking away his memories of their time together. I think even one of these things would cause a reaction like his in pretty much anyone, and when you take into consideration how YoRHa androids were built with emotions in order to fit in and be consistent with the androids the humans left behind, except without all the years of maturity and experience handling those emotions like they had, it's no wonder he acted the way he did.

Don't I need to be on easy for those modules? I'm playing on normal. I will give this a shot when I have to do hacking. I was able to get past Simone easy enough by skipping hacking all together.

Simply do minor quests as 2B, if you do that 9S path is much shorter. I´m ok with him and the hysterical part is after ending B

Auto-fire and Auto-evade are brilliant for effectively skipping the hacking if bullet-hell-lite ain't your thing.

I played through the entire game on Normal first time and then swapped to Easy to use the Auto-chips because I was getting tired of holding down the shoot button.
I'll be honest, the game didn't feel any less difficult, it just felt 100x more comfortable.

Then I tried out the auto-evade chip when I was grinding and discovered it worked in the hacking minigames and made 9S infinitely less tedious.
I highly recommend making a chip-set that has both auto-fire and auto-evade with all the hacking goodies, and then your murder-chip-set with just auto-fire to make your life so much nicer.

You will see that hacking is always the same, because there aren't many different leves. And I only hack enemies, which I can't do a lot of damage normally.
A tip to make fighting easier, Set 2B on aggressive, use a spear and only charge attack. With the correct chips, the damage can be abnormal high.

>TFW I used Keyboard to do hacking and it's far easier than controller or mouse

Hmmm, playing as 9S even for the first time made me empathize all the story much stronger, than playing for 2B. A2 didn't hit me at all (I guess because her appearance in the game was very small).
I defenitely can say he is my in the game

[Inexorable]

I want to finish all endings lol

Yes, I would say 9S is my favorite as well in terms of complexity and depth, followed closely by 2B. 2B took me some reflection and replaying the game in order to really appreciate the thought and consideration that went into her character. Taking the knowledge of the ending and applying it to how she behaves throughout the game leading up to it made me realize how brilliantly-written she was.

I do like A2, but I don't think she has as much going on compared to 2B and 9S.
