NieR:Automata: Where the "Hard" difficulty actually means "Good Luck, You'll Need It." 🤖💥 In Episode 0, I decided to see if I had what it takes to tackle the prologue on Hard mode. Spoilers: I DIDN"T and the machines won... A lot. This video captures the best moments, the biggest fails, and every single time I got sent back to the main menu before even hitting a save point. The "Episode 0" highlight reel of pain. Are you a NieR veteran? Let me know in the comments: How many times did YOU die in the prologue?
