The Dark Id posted:Keeping that in mind, that was one of the 26 Endings of NieR: Automata. Yeah... there's an ending for every letter of the alphabet this time around. That was Ending W. All but five of them are mostly for loving up badly during the course of the game. We'll be hitting all of 'em as we progress through this title. I'm not even allowed to do the fake everyone dies gag anymore. Yoko Taro stole it all... Jerk. 26 endings? Holy moly  How are this game sales going? Can we expect further crazy gems from our favorite crazy Emil mask director? I did my part and preordered (Platinum + Yoko Taro) but I won't have time to play it for a couple months probably. Oh well, time to play vicariously until I can play non-vicariously. The Dark Id posted:Spoilers: Weapon History stories are back in a big way and they are CONSIDERABLY more hosed than Nier 1 or Drakengard 3. Like I need to keep a murder/suicide/child death counter on that poo poo because DANG.

Hard to say sales overall because it's not info that's been released entirely but SteamSpy suggests it broke 200k on PC the other day and I think the JP version did that on its first week of launch in Feb too? Either way, there's no huge reason to believe this game is a sales flop at all.

People are generally really good with using spoiler tags in the NieR thread in games if you want to go there to troubleshoot and get questions answered rather than in here.

If Wikipedia's numbers are believed, it's the first and only game in the series to sell better than Drakengard 1 upon release. Yoko Taro also recently tweeted out something along the lines of "Nier Automata has managed in a couple of weeks what took 7 years for Nier"

Masochistic Dumbass here, hard mode still gives you the auto item use and big stock of healing so it wasn't really that bad I'm not sure why you say the robot-mode heavy sword slash doesn't get rid of the dark purple orbs because it totally does. I distinctly remember it being the only way I could easily navigate through the clusterfuck of shots hard mode throws your way.

I recall reading in an interview from a little while ago Yoko Taro saying that Automata had already broken the lifetime sales of Nier, or like first year of Nier, or something along those lines. Granted that is (unfortunately) not that high a bar to clear but he was certainly happy about it. Absent solid numbers, however, it's still doing pretty well on the Steam lists, presumably did pretty well on PS4 before that point, and is getting praised everywhere as a critical masterpiece. Considering this game only exists because apparently someone at Square Enix wanted to help Yoko Taro make a game when his past library wasn't exactly filled with blockbusters, the fact that this game is doing so well can only be a good sign. Who knows maybe in five years we'll all be talking about how sick we are of Yoko Taro titles and how overrated he is. no I will never say that ever

They were offered to make a game for Squeenix and could choose what property they wanted to work with and they immediately went with Nier. I mean Drakengard 3 only happened because Square-Enix's loving president at the time was a weird fan of Yoko Taro and pulled strings to dig some money from a couch to fund that game. Dude apparently gets super drunk and makes a bunch of weird friends in high places. Presumably while still wearing the Emil mask.

Platinum Games came to Square Enix and asked to do a sequel to Nier? I mean like it was Platinum's idea in the first place? Oh my god I don't even know what to say I didn't think the world worked like that at all.

I think Square wanted Platinum to do a game, and Platinum were massive fans of NieR and someone at P* already planned out how they'd do a theoretical NieR sequel.

Platinum are massive fans of NieR from a gamedev standpoint of how much it messes with the player and I believe they already had a "pick your IP" contract with S-E on a game. It was inevitable, really.

It's a bit different but the specifics aren't massively transformative. Platinum wanted to do a NieR 1 port to Vita because a lot of them loved NieR. Yosuke Saito wanted to work with Yoko Taro or he'd quit S-E. Yoko Taro was probably drunk as a skunk doing something somewhere. Square-Enix wanted to work with Platinum. When all the players came together, S-E said "We should just make a real sequel instead of a Vita port". It's a real great story of the perfect players all coming together at the right time in the right circumstances coincidentally. And then apparently Saito/Taro/Taura sheepishly asked Akihiko Yoshida if they'd do some character designs and he jumped at the chance and knocked up the three character designs you're probably thinking of and I think Taro said at PAX that the first draft of them is what they went with.

I was watching Chip & friends stream the Sony E3 pressed when this game was first teased and the reactions were something to behold. I'm real glad TD is doing this LP - I don't have time for video games anymore and my favorite LPer (and LPs are the reason I'm still on SA really) doing a game I can't is great.

Doing the prologue on hard is indeed a bad decision even if you played through the game already. The enemies are faster/more responsive, and they get an evade skill that gives them iframes. It also feels like you lose a bit of iframes in your dodge move as well, but it could just be me mis-timing everything in the beginning. I ended up dying to the first wave of guys 3 times before I got the timing down, then twice more before I finished the prologue.

Nice to see this LP. My headcanon with this game is that Taro basically set out to make the dumb robot anime Undertale joked about in its various asides.

"I'll be shocked if Zelda doesn't win GOTY this year." - Me before this game. "I'll still be shocked if Zelda doesn't win but NieR really deserves it and nothing this year will beat it." - Me after this game.

You'll get hit still if you badly mistime a dodge though but it's pretty hard to do

Ah, Pod. Surprisingly one of my favorite characters, despite being the whole 'I am your robot companion' shtick. I won't go into specifics, but I've realized that the Pod is like if Fi from Skyward Sword was written well as a character. Can't wait to see where this train takes us, even after having beaten the game.
