 Awesome crazy person, The Dark Id is currently doing an LP of this game, which you all should check out. Kindly refrain from posting spoilers in his thread, thank you. quote:IMPORTANT! If you're downloading the game - it's a 50GB install - DON'T start the game until the all 50GB is downloaded! It can make weird bugs appear ingame, which are currently only resovable by deleting, and then reinstigating system data. Instant Grat posted:PC users: A modder has released a fix for the fullscreen-bug. Currently, when playing the game in fullscreen-mode, the game won't actually run at your monitor's native resolution. There's a more in-depth explanation here, but the TL;DR is that, due to a bug, the game will: Click here! Black Griffon posted:Edit: Found a new link I trusted, all good. Platform - PS4 and PC!  Genre - Action RPG A demo is available on the PSN.  Nier: Automata is the sequel to the cult, melancholy-fest, Nier: Gestalt/Replicant. In a year of impossible game announcements, a sequel to Nier was probably one of the most unexpected. Even more so as was being developed by action-game gods Platinum Games - makers of Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Wonderful 101 and many many many other pretty loving awesome action games - and appears to carry-on their stylistic combat design. Specifically, it's being overseen by the producer from MGR:Revengeance, Atsushi Inaba. In addition, it's directed by insane, occasional sock-puppet, moon-man, and lovable sith lord, Yoko Taro, and scored by Keiichi Okabe - composer behind Nier and Drakengard 3's pretty amazing soundtracks. And this soundtrack is shaping up to be pretty great.  --- Nier? Nier was the story of a man, called Nier - a father (NieR: Gestalt), or a brother (NieR: Replicant) - depending on the version - trying to survive in a dying world, and save his daughter (or sister), Yonah, from a fatal disease. On his travels, he meets a magical, snide-talking tome, the Grimoire Weiss, the foul-mouthed, aggressive, and oddly-dressed, Kainé, and the sweet, and rather innocent, Emil. The gameplay is mostly an okay hack-and-slash with RPG elements, though it occasionaly shifts genre for variety. But the real draw, and what makes the game really great, is the interaction between the characters; the bounce and fizzle of their clashing-or-complimentary personalities, their complaints, and their comradery, aided by the extremely good voice acting. Also, the great music. The loving music man. The absolutely loving amazing music.  Do I need to have played the first Nier game? No. While it will have connections to the first game (and by extension the Drakengard series), it will apparently be able to be enjoyed without any prior knowledge of the first game. I'd seriously recommend playing it though. Draken..what? Drakengard was an early SE hack-and-slash dynasty warriors clone for the PS2 - the gameplay was terrible but the grimdark atomsphere, characters and setting kept people morbidly intererested. One of its many endings ties directly into Nier, making them share the same universe, and there are many recurring weapons and concepts in the series. All three Drakengard games, and Nier, were LP'd by The Dark Id, and there is currently an ongoing Nier LP by JordanKai. --- The Setting quote:The future. Characters: Main Character: 2B - "YoRHa No. 2 Model B"  Deployed as a member of the YoRHA android unit, 2B is an all-purpose battle model android. She uses a sword for close-ranged combat and a “Pod” as part of her support system that lets her attack from long range. Since usually she keeps her visor on for battle purposes, her eyes are rarely seen. Other Characters - Spoilers for Nier--- DLC  Yeah so some DLC has been announced. Known things it includes are some new duds for the main characters, and access to an underground fighting arena, where the player can fight large hordes of enemies and The CEOs of Square Enix and Platinum Games.

The fact that this series keeps continuing feels like we ended up getting the Bad Ending in this world and now Yoko Taro continues to torment us. I am ready for this game though. Not even he's sure why Square keeps giving him money, but I'm glad they do.

I'll say right now that this is a dumb opinion to hold. Their Activision games were provided with limited budget and tight deadlines and they only assisted with programming duties for Star Fox. Platinum hasn't developed and released a full, big-name title since Bayonetta 2. Everything since then has just been grunt work to keep the lights on.

Speaking just about the actual Dakengard-named-Drakengards it's not like they're that well written or anything. I mean Drakengard was one of the first games I ever played so I have a nostalgia for it, but it's really not that great. e: I liked Nier at first but when I found out it was a Taro Yoko game I basically got to predict the rest of the plot so I'll give it a B-.

I wasn't thrilled by Bayo2 either (God I hated Loki) but the combat was still tight as a drum, which is what you need to look out for when Platinum's on duty. It's their budget titles like TMNT and Korra that lacked well-developed combat mechanics, and got rightly lambasted for it.

Speaking just about the actual Dakengard-named-Drakengards it's not like they're that well written or anything. Even Drakengard 1 does interesting things that aren't really found anywhere else. It's the most vicious pisstake of the "Dynasty Warriors" genre i've ever seen. It goes beyond even making you play the bad guy, you're playing more of a kind of violent force of nature. When that NPC begs you to save the village from attackers, the chapter load text makes it very clear that Caim's motivation to follow the request is not to save people, but to kill people. Even the music is very interesting and completely unlike any other video game music: It's a mess of droning, repeating hacked up pieces of classical music that can make you physically uncomfortable listening to it. It's exremely effective at getting across its themes and purpose, even at the expense of, well, you know, being "awful" in the sense that you probably don't want to listen to it. I despise South Park so i'm not sure where exatly your parallel would be here, but i'm guessing it's the way it goes full grindark by loading up your party with pedopiles, cannibals, racist genociders and other such lovely people. Blunt doesn't mean "bad writing" though. It's just to make you hate all of them, basically.

If you can manage to keep at it, it's probably just for "what over the top bad thing is going to happen next?" as opposed to any actual sense of investment in what happens. Compared to say, Postal, which is another game that sort of has you going "wow this is pretty messed up" but it at least has a ramping challenge and passable gameplay. There's stuff like the rhythem game and babies falling from the sky but at best I'd call that too little too late. Really what's GOOD about the writing?

I am semi-confident they can make this work better than the last few titles and then port it to PC. No point in getting hyped if it won't work for your system of choice.

The game shouldn't have gotten as many sequels as it did, but I can still appreciate them.

Nier Panel 15 mins of gameplay Boss battle with the Persona-esque diva boss -PANEL- Originally wanted to call the game Nier: Android, but a discussion with SE wanted them to change it to something less generic. 9S will be playable at certain points in the game, but there will be some differences between the characters. "Blindfolds" are actually goggles. Still retains RPG elements from Nier - sidequests, items, and upgrades. Also uses the 2.5D perspective from Nier at select points. Town area - populated by "the Resistance". -MECHANICS- Two weapons equipable at once (assigned to sqaure and triangle, similar to Bayonetta), with a weapon switch. Three weapon types thus far; long sword, short sword and gauntlet/fist weapons. As well as Pod which shoots bullets (and serves like Weiss did in Nier) Unlockable moves and actions throughout the game. Perfect Dodge mechanic - allows for a counter-attack. Players will be able to customise controls Lock-on available. -Art-

Emil is probably somewhere, as the monsters sort of look similar aesthetically in the head region. The Drakengard 3 thing is pretty spoilery so here goes, there's a bunch of human looking robots running around in Drakengard 3 who are recording the timelines and various splits that certain decisions and changes create, so people assume they'll be here too as this is a game about automatons. Neither of these are confirmed, they're just based on speculation.
