i'm hearing a lot of talk that drakenguard 3 knowledge is going to be important for neir automata. what from the preview material is making people think this?

also are there any good summaries of what will be important to know? i don't have ps3 to play the game for myself

i watched the neir endings again on the best friends play youtube channel to refresh my memory and the guy on there kept saying it. so i googled if they are connected and wikipedia says that characters from neir and dg3 will be mentioned in the game.

i can't figure out what the source of this info is cause i doubt i need to know everything from what appears to be a very hosed up story from the synopsis i just watched but i'd like to know what characters/references are supposed to be in the game and how some canadian lets player is so sure that they're there

Is there a good story summary for Nier?

I bought it and played it for 10 hours before my 360 died an couldn't get it replaced. I've heard that the ending is incredible so I've been able to avoid spoilers. Now I want to know.

if you are hell bent on not playing it you can watch the best friends completionist lp of it that they did this summer i guess. they don't waste too much time and play through all 4 endings with good commentary

playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5ynpA5rGEo

like the story is just kinda a weird jrpg video game story the genius of it is how the game makes you love its characters and constantly fucks with you by changing the core gameplay and shifting the players perspective on his/her actions through multiple playthroughs.

also the music is about 40% of the reason i love the game so you'd want to hear that too probably.

if you played the first few hours you probably never got to any of the great poo poo beyond maybe when it first started getting weird

8-Bit Scholar posted:

A pretty promising demo, although I fear it doesn't quite demonstrate how the full game will work. Nier was vaguely open-world, with a few spacious field zones spreading out its towns and dungeons. I wonder if any of that is retained or if the game is basically linear in terms of levels and stages.

That said, this feels like a bold and smart evolution of Nier's core gameplay, placing more emphasis on the action but not skipping the fluid and varied changes in gameplay that made Nier so compelling. I feel like they kind of took too much inspiration from the sequence under Emil's Mansion but at the same time, the ever-changing perspective helps spice up the combat and emphasises the shooting mechanics.

Shooting AND comboing attacks is tough to wrap around but I felt pretty decent at it by the demo's end.

Do the harder difficulties do the traditional Platinum thing and have different enemy types, or is the demo limited to cute robots and giant saw arms?

they have showed several open world zones and a town area in gameplay demonstrations this year

boar and elk drifting ftw

Nier trades insanity for heartrending sadness. I think it's the last game I actually cried at the (final) end of.

YT says that his understanding of player characters changed from "they must be insane to kill so much" to "they must really think they are right to kill so much" in making nier and that shift creates the basis for tragedy.

I get a feeling in a year or two we'll see the comments saying they overreached themselves with multiplayer and could have had an okay game if they restricted themselves to the offline campaign.


rumors already out now that ms wanted to make the game into a esport or minecraft style money hole and jerked platinum around over it.

They just need one of these projects to actually come out so they can buy out the studio, change its name to be referential of the game they made, and force them to make the same game every 12-24 months forever.

Now whether you'd rather listen to a youtube personality do the youtube personality thing or watch someone play Nier over and over again to get the whole story is between you and your therapist.

super best friends did a decent nier all endings play through this summer. all they skipped was the weapon collection stuff by doing it off camera.

No news for PC version, but “There is a very high possibility” of a NieR remaster if Automata “sells like hotcakes” :allears:

i'd need something interesting about it besides higher resolution graphics to get excited to pay for it again but i'd hope pc players could get a crack at it cause its drat good so whatever

I hope I haven't asked this too late, but is the demo time-limited or is it just ... a demo... that will last forever? I have nier and I am playing it now (I'm at the sand temple, how far am I?) and want to finish it then play the demo.

you're not that far into the game. you'll know when you are at the half way point because its epic as gently caress and a total energy reset for the plot.
