I wrapped it up about 2 weeks ago. You want to stick with it. Going to summarize it a bit with how it will go each play through, no spoilers. You have to play through at least 3 times to complete the true game. The play throughs are same events, but not the same at the same time.
1st - Ending A - oh that was neat. I guess I can walk away if I want.
2nd = Ending B - Oh that was what was happening over there, I missed that. That makes more sense now, plus the credits at the end seem different and cooler.
3rd - Ending C - Oh, this is kind of weird. WTF happened, this is some bullshite. Why am I here, I feel like I am looking at a double rainbow.
Then for fun
What if I choose a different path at the end would it have been better - Ending D - Crap I have the sads now and what the hell is going on with the credits. Ending E - ????
Ok one piece of free advice. When you can go ahead and self destruct 2B, she will recover and is much more fun to play that way.

I am 6 hours in, in the desert and I’m not hooked yet....story has not grabbed me at all. I will keep pushing, but man, I typically have the same taste as Carson but not here so far.
Stick with it dog, trust me. i think a lot of us started out similarly. In my case, the opening mission and boss had me like
with all the changing perspectives and gameplay types, and then I was kinda meh towards it once I got into the open world. Desert is easily the worst part of the game, so just get it over with and push ahead. You will really like the subsequent sections In regards to all the endings and routes you're reading about - the game is structured like so
Route A - what you're playing through now
Route B - Route A, but from a different perspective. You're OP as frick and blast through it much quicker. Some route divergences with new story insights and background
Once you clear A and B, the story continues with Route C (all new content)
Route A/B's story will not impress you. It has some awesome moments, but it's not the profound stuff you hear about when people discuss the game. It's standard Japanese fare and nothing you haven't seen before. Route C is where all of the genre tropes are completely subverted, all the twists come, and all the crazy philosophical questions are asked. Classic Yoko Taro
Most of the sidequests are pretty meh design-wise, but they flesh out the world and main story so well. Strongly suggest doing them on Route A. You can skip most of them on Route B so you don't get bogged down and then go back and clear anything you missed with Chapter Select.
Read the other threads about this. Lots of "Just finished. I need a moment" "this game fricked my world up, GOTY" etc. The game shows its small budget in a lot of way s but is still able to make something special. So many great characters, so much charm, and so many unforgettable sequences that will stick with you for a long time. GOAT game soundtrack too. I wouldn't tell you to stick with it if I didn't think you'd enjoy it

This threw me off too. I’ve grown to like it now, combat is definitely great.

This makes me feel much better
My only confusion right now in regards to gameplay is the upgrading system. I’m not sure what I should keep or how to upgrade anything. Is there a tutorial on that or will I learn as I go?

Okay....Just finished Route A. The conclusion came way sooner than I thought it would. I had no clue I was close to being finished.
Game has gotten much better since leaving the desert. I love the combat as well. Only complaint I really have is I'm not a huge fan of the side scrolling when fighting a frick ton of enemies. Only complaint, but even that is minimal.

Blaze through Route B with 9S and abuse his hacking ability. Pay attention to the new cutscenes.
Then buckle your seatbelt

I have a billion sidequests in route B. Do I need to do most of these or can I just do a few and move on?
Posted on 8/16/20 at 4:16 pm to McCaigBro69
A lot are repeats of quests from A, but there are a few that are new. I’d just do the ones you haven’t done
If you get tired of them and want to press on with the story, just know that Chapter Select opens up later on and you can do anything you missed

Okay, cool. I'm pretty OP'ed it feels like because I fight every mob I come up against, so I'll probably skip a good bit of them

Just finished route C/D. I haven’t done the other endings but I’ve read they are more side endings.
Game was definitely solid and worth the money.
I will admit that I thought the writing was a bit overrated since I read a lot of the thread before playing. Regardless, it was still a great ride. Story was solid, but since I read this I think my expectations were too high.
Combat is A+. Loved it and loved the chips and upgrading. I would have kept going solely based off of the combat even if the story was mediocre.

Posted on 8/20/20 at 9:03 pm to Carson123987
It was all great.
I’m very glad I finally picked this up and played.

Get the platinum and then agree to the data wipe when the pods ask you during the credits
