Nier Automata

Finally got a chance to play the Nier 2 demo yesterday and fuck me it's really good. I now have a 200+ pictures of 2B too.
I'm kind of hoping through some miracle though that the game pulls an MGS2 and 2B dies early on and you play as someone else for the majority of the game. Not going to happen but a man can dream.

Since NieR is a spinoff of Drakengard, and I don't want to make a new thread, I'll post here, again, because you fucks ignored me last time.

To those who played Drakengard 3, are the sister's prologues bundle worth the 30$ price tag? I'm almost done with DOD1 and will start playing DOD3 right after.
And another thing, whats the recommended way to play DOD3 since there are 4 endings? Assuming I have the sister's prologues. Example: Branch A, then sisters prologues and carry on with B, C and D, then zero's prologue.

My only problem is that you get to play as a girl, or a dickgirl whatever.
I miss having manly characters in video games.
Caim > Zero
Nier > 2B

Yo did any of you guys notice the Chip A,B, and C settings? If I am understanding this correctly, you will be able to unequip elements of the game like the HP bar and AutoSaves to make room for more skill points.
Did any of you guys unequip the swords to play with bare fists?
You can Hold R2 to get a prolonged dash?
Doing a dash will end you into the max speed run?
R1 + X in the air make 2B grab the robot and fling her forward?
You can Jump > R1+X > Hold R2 > Second Jump > Hold X for hover
You can do all those ariel things in any direction too while also throwing Light attacks within them.

Yes, barefists were so fun, also the only way I could get to one of the secrets actually, since tapping jump and heavy attack quickly did this uppercut kick thing that leaves you higher than a single jump and you can double jump after

OH that's right. that means you can:
Jump > Heavy Attack > R1 +X > R2 > Jump > Glide
with light attacks in there anywhere

I didn't find any secrets. I just fucked around with the controls and tampered with the Chips

Holy shit this is genius, it will naturally encourage players through gameplay to hone their skills so that they can use more skill slots and make it easy to set up challenge runs.

PLEASE let there be no Denuvo, not that I'd be pirating I just don't want that shit on my system and would like to run the game on something other than Winblows or a console.

I haven't gotten them so all I know thats worth it is the JP audio


Robot girl and she is cute.


I wonder how much they will use the chip settings since that will allow you to fuck so much shit it would be fun.

I WANT TO MARRY 2B

2B or not 2B?

She's making nofap harder then it should be

I agree.
So much lewds, its making it difficult not to fap to 2B.

Hey you're reposting from my dump on /vp/ I did a moment ago aren't you

Is the only reason you guys like this game is because of all the ecchi of the main character?

Where's the gameplay discussion, the story speculation, these threads are garbage that could easily be replicated by search for 2B on hentai sites.

Why am I growing more attracted to 2B's mole?

What does everyone think about Yoko's statement that this time this game will have a 'happy' ending?

Acutally, i got those pics in Pixiv

Only gameplay discussion concerns the demo, not much to talk about aside from it being fucking amazing

Story speculation doesn't go far, because Yoko Taro. There are stageplays, but those I'm counting them as spoilers more or less

Her mole is meant to make you want to shoot a load on that precious mouth of hers.

Moles are super sexy

People joke about Yoko's idea of happy, but I can see it being something like "Humanity is saved but everyone you care about died in the process"

Speaking as someone who loved the first the demo was alright, but all it really showed off was the combat being passable. Game needs to retain at least some RPG elements of the first if they want my money, I'm really not interested in another 10-hour-long budget Platinum game. The way people are all saying the exact same shit on every site along the lines of "THE DEMO TOTALLY SOLD ME GUISE, IT WAS AMAZING" screams paid marketing to me. I want to see how badly 8-4 was allowed to fuck it up and I want to see how long it is.

We are reaching levels of best girl that shouldn't be possible

This is what I'm most concerned about. I want to be sure there aren't any huge differences.

Even though I am really close to becoming hyped for this game, I still will wait a few months before getting it to see if 8-4 or sqenix fucked with it or not.

BUT WHERE ARE THE PICS OF HER WITH NO PANTIES UNDER HER DRESS?

You're at the bar and Yoko Taro slaps your girlfriend on the ass

What do you do

Given the amount of fan art this game had produced in the short time since the demo released this might be platinum biggest game yet and we will be sure to see another sequel with the same deva. They've really knocked it out with the free marketing of the game with the japs.

STOP THAT BLADE

This can be a huge game for them, no doubt about that.

To be fair user, no protag will ever be able to top the glorious force of MURDER that Caim was.

Begin to doubt whether my gf is a human, let alone female.

PICTURE DUMP NOW, i want it all, i want those perfect panty shots, not too lewd not too porny, just perfect

dang, I knew Taro's games were all about despair but this is something else! gonna order a used copy off of GameStop.com, test it, and return the borked disc. Good idea?

Just pirate iso or something.

I'd need a flasher for that.

This thread needs more 2B.

NO DICK NO BUY

good, then you fags won't shit up the threads when it comes out

Futafags need flayinhg

We will still pirate and shit your shit up. Prepare

well we'll see if denuvo shows up :^)

Weren't all denuvo games cracked at this point?

nope only a few, and it takes months at that.

Well that's because they all are shit and there is no interest.
If Automate will have denuvo, it will be the first not-shit game with it, so I think crack won't take long.

Old Nier is best Nier.

Do you think they are going to make 2B a super slut like Zero was?

Androids being perverts is strictly against protocol.

Mahoro pls go.

moar

I don't want to get this game unless I can set the voices to Japanese. If it's not included or available as DLC I'm importing this.

did you not play the demo, fag? you can, and whatever subtitles you want, too.

OH GOD OH GOD

Lewd.

I don't have one. To have one where I live is just stupid, they wouldn't be a virgin. It's probably waifus for me, if I ever find one.

I like her ass

Everyone wants to give 2B anal

Mot me, anal is gross

not*
I'm retarded

Apparently, that an edit. Nice butthole though.

Where's the original?

Zero is feminine in appearance alone. She is more manly than most male protagonists.

Real or fake.
I don't give a shit.
I'd still fuck her anally.

This. She poops from there.

Androids don't poop.

So what is it for? Is it an exhaust port? Do androids fart?

Robots don't poop, dingus. Their power cores operate at 98.72% efficiency. At most, they'll fart a little bit once in a while - so they still need an exhaust manifold.

It's made up for fan art!

What did user in pic related mean by this?
Also if anyone wants to finish or edit it I can try posting the psd
u.nya.is/mhacqt.png

Do I dare to dream?

PENIS YES

Please no Denuvo. PC is coming out later, wish they'd tell us how much later.

Lets be real this game ain't going to sell enough to be goty

Who determines GoTY?

The current year was two years, my friend.

Drakengard 3 has "4 endings" but they are all linear, you can only go A>B>C>D and for all purposes D is the only true ending, it's a normal linear game only difference is you watch the credits 4 times in this one.

Play Sister's Prologue whenever, just check out the weapons you like first since the prologues have more chests filled with booty you can use to upgrade weapons. It's also the only reasonable sane way to get the achievement for upgrading all weapons without a massive grind for every weapon.

I bought this at launch and I still haven't managed to finish the last boss after all these years holy fucking shit it's so fucking hard, I'm going to try it again when I get home for my daily dose of suffering.

I want to fist 2B

Reminder.

its not an edit. Here's the original 4K straight from a PS4 Pro.

I wasn't expecting the kind of quality I was playing. Pleasantly surprised. AAA+

Needs moar lewds

How is nier related to drakengard? is it hinted at in drakengard 1? because that's the only one I ever played

It bums me out that I won't be able to play this for a good few years at least

Nier is the sequel to one of the endings of Drakengard

Nier starts after one of the Drakengard 1 endings (E I think?)

But how? Can you explain like I'm a retard who didn't understand drakengaard at all?

Is nier some sort of alternative universe that results from you breaking shit entirely, or what?

Did you get all the endings?

I never got to the esoteric endings apparently but i payed it when i was like 12 so i didnt know i had to beat it fucking twelve times

Well spoilers inbound although I'm just writing this from the top of my head you jump universes with your dragon to our universe in Tokyo to fight these gigantic women and once you do you and your dragon are shot down by the Japanese Air Force, but the magic from Caim's universe is brought into our universe which is what's causing humanity to die out and kickstarts the plot to Nier. Obviously someone will be able to explain this better than me since I'm positive that not all the details are right.

Oh wait, Grimoire Nier explains it better docs.google.com/document/d/1vEP2iZ52P-DWhQBQ2Is6R8Wjao99AGi0YuWShTvA-tA/preview?pli=1#heading=h.47c245b4bc56

I wasn't far off.

Can't dispute it, she's a peerless beauty 👌

So how's the combat? I've watched about 2 hours of random footage of this and it just seems too easy from what I've seen.

just download the demo.

It's a platinum game, of course it's easy.
Everyone is hyped over android buttholes and thighs physics.

I don't have PS4.

HEY

WHERE IS THE FUCKING PEECEE DEMO. FUCK YOU SQUARE, THIS GAME BETTER NOT BE SOME EPISODIC GARBAGE.

lol

I remember Nier fondly but I have absolutely no hope for any game made by a big-name dev. This already is too easy w/ too much fanservice.

play on the highest difficulty then

Well I remember in a thread when this was first announced an user saying that a Yoko Taro game probably won't be the same without the shitty gameplay, which I have to admit is sort of part of the charm for me with the original Nier.

That depends on whether or not Bethshit releases a new game this year

Its not being released on pc for a good few years?

probably

No PS4 and I have a shitty laptop, I'll probably end up getting a PS4 at the end of it's lifecycle.

Then it doesn't deserve any shilling.

But muh porn

Let me be clear on something, if games don't produce any shekels on consoles, they get ported to pc.

Don't buy for ps4 if you have pc.

It's TBA 2017, but it'll most likely have denuvo, making it a TBA2018 for Holla Forums. Honestly, good. Fuck PC.

if games sell well on consoles they get ported to PC years later.

God Eater god hacked, this will too eventually.

yep, a year after I play it.

I have a PC.

I might buy a PS4 Pro for this game.

I'm now waiting for the journos to get mad at a small patch of brown texture

Why? It doesn't even run 30fps and doesn't look any better, only higher res. probably dips knowing how the ps4pro performs

already got shared at neogaf after I posted it here for the first time in an earlier thread. Just be patient.


it's 4k on pro, and performs identical to base hardware.

at least its native 4k but it doesn't have anything special in terms of texture quality or shadows or anything I bet.
better off playing it on PC

He fell for the 4k meme.

Since only one reply actually seemed to answer your question about the Prologues, they are definitely skippable but add a lot to the characterization of the sisters. If you're interested in that sort of thing, it's probably worth your time. Aside from Five's, which was pretty shit.
As far as gameplay goes, you just use the boss weapon with a model swap. Nothing particularly changes aside from that. If you like the gameplay of DOD3 you won't have any issues.
Bottom line: If you can tolerate the price tag, sure, but if not just watch someone play it on Youtube. Embed related.

Coerce Seere into breaking his pact, freezing the entire continent in a bubble of frozen time so that no one can see my shame

smh tbh fam

Several months ago I went turbo autist and explained the entire lore of Nier/Drakengard (another bro-tier user covered DOD2). I was able to save most of the text, so I could repost it if anyone's interested in the mountain of LORE.
Archive is here: archive.fo/97Io9

I have to ask do we really know if Nier ending D leads into Automata and if so why? Also, to make the chart more accurate, Ending A and B aren't really endings they just cut away before the decision that creates ending C and D, unless you have a reason behind that.

It's not my chart, it actually has a couple issues. It works great for the big-picture organizational stuff, though.
Functionally, any ending is a point when you hit the credits, and that's where the events end. While A and B might just seemed like gimped versions of D and C, they don't lead into the confrontation with Tyrann because we don't see it. So, for instance, in Ending A Emil would be considered dead because we don't see him rolling around in the desert. In Endings A and B, Kaine would isolate herself and presumably have a relapse somewhere that Nier wasn't around. The "continuation" of A and B that we see in C and D is really just a "what-if" of Kaine having her relapse immediately after the Shadowlord fight.

Ending D of Nier doesn't really lead into Automata – 'Ending E' does, the one that accounts for the stuff that happens in Grimoire Nier, where Nier is revived in his brother form and reunited with Kaine. We know that Ending E is the one that leads into Automata becuase it's the one where the Tree of Memories is destroyed. This is important because it means that the master system that was producing the replicants is gone, so the humans in Automata are genuine.

I, I don't know if I can agree with this functionality. DOD3 every ending was clear cut and distinct other than the retconned (99% sure this is the correct word here.) one for 1.3.

PC demo when?

Backing you up on that, I want those ultra detail screenshots.

I agree with you, it's dumb how similar they are, but because Grimoire Nier acknowledges an Ending E, the existence of A-D are implied. They're separate, even if they don't seem like it.
The only real explanation that I could use to justify this (the Nier endings being minor variations while the Drakengard ones being massive timeline changes) is that it's a "Nier franchise" thing. I would predict that the endings to Automata would be a lot like the Nier ones, revealing a little bit of more info each time and having little differences. If they're not, fuck me, I have no idea.

...

It's fun as shit. Combat feels so smooth. And it's pretty much similar to Bayonetta. They showed off a slow-time chip wherein 2B overclocks her systems after a dodge. As well as other plug-in chips, such as one where you automatically pick up items when you run past.

The plug-in system seems like it'll be fun to mess around it. And given that Taro likes fucking with you, I think we'll have to remove or fuck with the OS chip at some point.

And I quite like the potential of combo variety given. You have heavy and light attacks slots, and you can equip a heavy weapon (such as greatswords) into the light slot to give completely different attacks. I can't wait to see how spears perform.

Also rub the touchpad to pet your pod.

What the fuck are you smoking, it's 60fps on both!

How deep does YoRHa go into Automata's plot? Should I read it to get context, or does it actually spoil stuff? I've only read Space War so far

Any writefags itt able to Taro-tize Drakengard 2? Interested to see the results
Also how's the fan translations of Replicant and D3 going?

The embedded video goes over that, and I can't vouch for the Pro but the vanilla PS4 demo runs at a solid 60, Bayonetta 1 and 2 still can't do that

Also I don't think the 2B butthole is real, though I took these pictures on a normal PS4, not a pro.

It's not real, user.

At least for now. Once the PC version releases there will be a day 1 mod.

If it's available somewhere online, you tell me. I can't find that shit anywhere, no recordings, so script, nothing. The play itself only seemed to have one shitty video taken of it, and the only lorefag I know of who has a copy of it isn't uploading that shit.
As far as I know, it just provides context for why 2B and 9S are programmed without emotions by showing you how poorly a mission goes with sentimental robots. Here's everything I could glean about it.

they got rid of the anus on the ps4 ver?

I'm pretty sure there'll be a "no leotard" mod ASAP.

Fuck, now i have to check out her ass myself.

nier2.com/blog/yorha-stage-play/

Here's the link I have. I want to go in blind but I'm tempted

Have fun climbing up and sliding down that one magical ladder.

Watch it get censored because you idiots posted it everywhere.

That lazy fuck can translate the entirety of YoRHa but can't finish Fire of Prometheus. Goddamn.

They better go full nude as well, because THAT is my fetish.

Right there. You can see the spokes.

…you know it's coming out for PC, right?

I think that's just the lighting because it's not apparent on any other screenshot I could gather.

Please don't make me go take more screenshots. I've played the demo at least twenty times

Watch the game tank because those idiots fucked up the one thing people were talking about.

only the localization would tank, and because PS4 has no region lock there is nothing stopping people from just getting the jap version unlike nintendo consoles where it becomes a big problem.And obviously PC you could just pirate the jap version or pirate the localized version and mod out the changes.

...

...

I'd stick with the PC version you shill. In case the translation gets raped again, which it will.


To be fair its 60fps on both systems, which is a surprise.

The second one looked like she has lights coming out of her ass. Which won't be surprising as an gynoid.

>They implanted No.2 with Kaine's memories from before her Grandmother was killed, when they tended the fields together
What the fuck are the humans doing

This pleases 2B

WHY AM I NOT HERE EVERY DAY?

FUCK

Those fan arts are too dangerous for my health. But that's what units us all. Benis.

2B or not 2B

That is the question.

I got drakengard thinking it would be some hack and slash game with your buddy dragon when I was a teen.

I was not prepared. I still need to play nier.

Motherfucking 2B and 9S straight shota
What a time to be alive

...

...

She's getting 3-4 pages of new stuff PER DAY on Pixiv. Talk about striking gold.

Actual spoilers here, you've been warned
>No.2 survives her suicide mission, and it seems like there's been a reversal on her and A2 being different characters. They're definitely the same.
>A2 is programmed with false memories of Replicant Kaine's past before her Grandma was killed by the shade
>Android Kaine with a vendetta against the YoRHa commander is a major character
>Other members of the Resistance, like Anemone, are coming back in Automata too
>The Bio-Machine master server hivemind manifests itself as two young girls dressed in red
>The Angels have either infected the machines or P-33 reverse-engineered them as administrators
>Thousands of years spent getting rid of all the white maso on Earth but mankind is still being fucked by the Angels
WEW
This is fucking critical backstory lads, I'm so happy this got translated

this is the power of weebs

Nothing annoys me more than devs adding in motion blur, especially when you can't even turn it off.

One of those isn't much of a secret.
Interesting stuff. Part of me thought the demo's ending was simply something made for that effect.

For some reason, spoilers aren't deterring me from the game like other AAA games out previous years.

...

...

It is an edit. Brandon Orselli confirmed it.

I walked into learning about this game strictly by what was posted here. Based on that for a while I began to think this was some stupid h-game until *FINALLY* gameplay footage. Now I'm mostly thinking "Couldn't there be some grizzled alpha male doing all this with less ridiculous clothing standards? She's dressed for a tea party, not war."

Then I realized that so long as they make her look like that the gameplay won't matter, weebs would buy it regardless.

user we already had that game.

...

Whats with all the hate to them lately?

you can't say nigger on their site now

Brandon completely went against what he's said about freedom of speech and confirmed he only cares about shekels. Also, don't kick someone then make new rules. Make new rules then kick them if they refuse to follow them. They're a bunch of hypocrites.

I want this shit to be true
If at least the A2 being the surviving stage YoRHa 2B twist is true then it'll be amazing.

I don't know what any of that means, but it all sounds pretty cool and retarded.

It's easy if you don't play on Very Hard, or if you jump over/destroy projectiles. If you treat it like a proper bullet hell it's hard.

...

People are discussing the story in this thread. Some even discussed the gameplay despite the demo being gutted for info in the last few threads. Every thread after the first few somebody has made this retarded argument.


An ass I can get behind.


While may not contain any visual censorship, the English subtitles/VA is likely to be exactly the same as the Western release, meaning anything censored in the script will still be censored.


In gameplay demonstrations, there were some darker bullets that can't be destroyed, only evaded. The fact that no difficulty setting on the demo made all bullets indestructible probably means there won't be a setting like that in the final game, but I still hold out hope.

Great, another weebshitgame you faggots won't shut up about for months to come.

Where the fuck are you fags coming out?

First time caring about this series, will it release on PC? Is it any good?
I like the style too

It's coming to PC at an undisclosed date. It's good but easy except for Very Hard difficulty, where everything is a one hit kill,

PC will have Denuvo and Western/Asian releases will be censored/badly translated. The game is great.

I bet you're a censorship apologist too, you hypocrite supporter.

Yes to being on PC but beware Denuvo.
If you like Bayonetta, or DMC it will play similar to that. The story will most likely be some level of depressing crushing soul destroying bullshits. If you like dark stories with well-written characters and good action gameplay yes.


That's just the demo though, it's not like the first few levels aren't going to be easy.

Where they come from doesn't matter, they're after attention so don't give it to them, otherwise the thread will derail which is what they want.

Yeah you're totally not salty over a ban.

brandon orselli is wrong because it comes from a ps4 share straight from the console. He's a liar.

PC fags are so delusional

Sauce or GTFO

google it yourself you retard, console version is out march 17, PC is eta 2017. crack is eta 201?

She's a robot from the moon. They made her dual function.

Other posts in this thread have confirmed it's a shoop. She does have an anus, it's not dark though.


Are you the user that tried to turn GG into his own personal army the other day?

...

Well I guess I got myself caught.

I like how the bot goes like "Yes..!" behind her back.

I just want to believe in that anus.

Nobler words have never been spoken

He's muslim

If you've got a last gen console, you should really get NIER. It's a great game.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. It's an ok game. You should get it only if you're interested in the story/setting and music.

Ehhhhhhhhh.
The fighting is mediocre but as far as a comfy simulator it does pretty good. Hope you like fishing and farming

Same VA

Maybe they'll include Japanese voice/Eng subs in the full game too.

You have to remember what kind of competitors exist anymore in videogame industry. With them considered it's a great game. I wish it was on PC because I would like to play all of it over again. It for all intents and purpose IS A GREAT HACK AND SLASH GAME


Yeah it's one of the comfiest games too, nice somber soundtrack and the battles don't make you jump. It doesn't help that the enemies are shadows and mist.

I'm not sure if my psyche can handle that. I will have to be medicated to play this game.

sage for double post

They had it in the demo, so I'd imagine so.

From an "objective" viewpoint, with no external situations considered, Nier is an ok game at best. It's going to leave a bad impression if you go around telling anons that Nier is a good game only for them to find out that it's hardly fun when they play it.

All I can say is how much I really enjoyed the ride. It's rare for me to stick to a single game for a week.

I want to cuddle 9S

False, it is not a great one, it's a good one. It is adequate, that is the word I have for it.

If you were to strip everything from Nier except the gameplay. No music, no story, no characters just gameplay, it is an adequate game. You play Nier to enjoy a good story thought I know Holla Forums hates that to an extent.

Oh of course it's completely engrossing not because it's a good game but the world and characters just suck you in. It was amazing to play.

Even if you couldn't give two shits about the game, get the music. All of it. OST, AST, Piano, Tribute.

zero taste

What the fuck

Evangelion has a poorly done dub. I don't know about Misato's Eng VA but most of them were bad.

I also forgot to add that Bowie is overrated.

I hope they change 2b into apple jack and i cant wait to rent my license from steam, i hate owning my games

American girls can't be cute. It's outside of western culture.

Evas dub is shit, I don't disagree, half of the side charactes have slight texan accents

Misato's Eng VA is one of the only good ones in it and she makes Misato sound sexy as fuck

fug

Fuck you man, he was totally forgotten 2-3 years ago, and then all the hipsters hopped on the bandwagon after he died, he's only overrated because his death was so unexpected

haha. well considering where f hq is.

I never knew this was a thing.

Bowie was fighting through cancer for a year before he died.

Addendum: You don't have to jump at all before you do the R1 + X thing

gee I sure love listening to the same handful of voice actors with no range, doesn't get boring in the least. Thanks American VAs!

Read his post again

2B is just the Maiden in Black plus panty shots. Right down to the "one eye visible for cute" fan art.

She's more like the Doll from Bloodborne

The only common theme is the eye patches and black dress. Nothing else. 2B has different eye patches, a split side dress, silver hair, and is uses swords. They're quite different user.

It's candle wax on the Maiden in Black.

Point is, it's still the same overall idea. QT3.1459 blind girl, now with 200% more panties.

3.14159*
Forgot a digit there.

This game is so gotdang boutuful, I tell you hwat.

...

She is literally Youmu from Touhou but with a black dress and her eyes covered. Almost to the point I'm sure they got inspired by her.

It's possible they're doing the same thing they di with Kaines Bulge, and making it appear at random, or it shows up according to lighting conditions.

TRANSISTORY BUTTHOLES

>mfw dick plugin chip

get a ps4, feels good to own your games

What do you think he hears?

A game about Youmu and slashing? You crazy user.

how the fuck do you tolerate with 30fps sometimes with dips even and not even 1080p

Not him but how the fuck do you tolerate the "pain of waiting" as you put it when youre not even going to support and buy the game you are so pained waiting for?

It's like you wanna be an uninformed consumer or something.

Thanks Ben.

at least I can see how the game plays and how long it is etc
also "pain of waiting" I have a backlog dude, i'm not a dumbfuck who buys everything day1

What suicide mission? Where can I read up on this?

Where is such a character seen? Why was she even created?

These are not characters with an existence I'm familiar with.

You mean the grotesqueries/giant babies?


It's object-based motion blur though rather than a blurring of the whole screen. Isn't that better?

Nier Automata is pretty solid at 1080p60. No drops under any circumstances so far.

...

Are you serious right now? Do you think companies give a fuck about you?

that's a pretty big leap right there

nier2.com/blog/yorha-stage-play/
This stage play was written by Taro and is the prequel to Automata. It's almost certain that the main character in it, No.2, is Automata's A2 since:
If you want the immediate backstory to Automata, you should read this translation. After reading it myself I guarantee it'll be important.

As for the rest of what you asked:
>Android Kaine?
All of the androids are implanted with false memories – in the play, No. 2 states that her false memories are of living with her Grandmother in an isolated place, farming and getting support from a nearby town. She also remarks that things were tough, but that they got by and made things work. This is far too similar to Replicant Kaine's past before shit went down – I don't believe in coincidences in the Taro-verse.
As for how they reproduced Kaine's memories (since the original is long dead), I have a couple ideas. The Tree of Memories was destroyed, so they couldn't reproduce her true personality. I can imagine two possibilities – either they got Emil's help (doubtful since his memories of Kaine are probably gone after thousands of years. He forgot his twin sister after only a thousand), or they artificially reproduced it (maybe with P-33's memory of their encounter, but this is also doubtful since he's almost certainly the forefather of the Bio-Machines). I'm honestly not sure.
Why the fuck the remaining humans on the moon would do this, I have no idea, which is why I was losing my shit . Regardless, it should be interesting when A2 meets Emil in Automata.

>The Angels?
The Angels are also known as the Watchers in the West. When they localized the original Drakengard, they changed that around as a way to likely avoid backlash from religious groups. The "Cult of the Watchers" is actually the localized name for "The Church of the Angels," and Drakengard's "gods" is actually "God."
The grotesqueries are God's angels. All the summons that the Intoners can do in DOD3 are angels as well.

I wonder if its really native 1080p and not the dynamic scaling thing consoles use these days.

Nice that nier does that tho. Most titles don't

digital foundry confirms it is.

neat. hope it turns out to be good pc release with uncapped fps and free resolution options and such

my expectations are denuvo, a release half a year+ away, and a crack some time in 2018. Console version seems perfectly fine, I'll go with that.

Sorry read your post wrong

Anyone agree that 2B has the greatest legs?

...

2B might have the best legs that have appeared in a videogame to date.
And I would like to date 2B

Akihiko Yoshida is a true master of the craft. Even his guy designs are fuckable.

Thanks user. What can I say? I'm impressed and intrigued. I look forward to this.

NIER RELEASES 2 WEEKS IN JAPAN BEFORE EVERYWHERE ELSE HOLY SHIT

It has English text and audio?

So I need to get a PS4 soonish and get my JP PSN account hooked up to buy this shit. Kind of feels shitty that I had a nearly brand new PS4 slim before Christmas and I sold it to make a measly £30 profit, now I'm gonna need to buy one for around the same price I sold it to some schmuck for.

I'm slightly confused how Platinum are going to do the "RPG" shit for the game. We don't need any non-games in my Platinum thank you sir.

Platinum is only doing the gameplay, literally nothing else, Yoko is doing story, characters, environment etc. Platinum is just the fighting and maybe enemies but not really.

Also if you hate RPGs why on earth did you play Nier which is a shitty everything but JRPG?

I didn't say I've played nier. But I have played through that shit because of autist friend say good with shit taste who refused to try platinum games because "combos and stuff". I bet he's not raughing now. I bought copy of Nier just to remind myself. Arrived today. It's fucking garbage. A really bad zelda wannabe or some shit.

There's no point in having chains on someone's ankles if they can extend and retract. The whole point of leg irons is that they're supposed to limit someone's ability to move so that they can't just run away and/or escape. If she's dancing and the chains are no issue, then there's no point to her even having the chains in the first place.

Erick was the best part of World Peace.

Kiddo I have bad news for you this might not end as well as you are expecting it to.

It's an action game with RPG elements.


Nier wasn't an RPG.

Nier was literally an action-role-playing game, ie. an action RPG. What it was not was turn based, like most JRPGs you may be thinking of but it is definitely a fucking RPG.

I can't wait

...

That's because it's a great fucking design.

...

What the shit? That's the wrong file.

fuck off fag

...

you guys are alright sometimes

Go to hell

Nothing beautiful about skin cancer, cuck.

Your previous posts were telling people that they needed to enjoy RPG's and JRPG's to enjoy the Drakengard series. This isn't true. Putting it in the most simplest of ways: Drakengard 1 and 3 are like musou games with some flying segments mixed in, while Nier is similar to a 3D Zelda with some minor RPG elements tossed in. People need to be able to enjoy the bizarre stories and characters of these games, since that's what hooks people into them, but they don't necessarily need to be RPG fans since any RPG element in the games is minor.

She's a fucking andriod how can she have cancer? I understand not liking it on normal women but your argument is shit anyway.

I'm sure you know all about cancer

...

No user, you're the cancer.

...

He already said he hated any gay RPG elements here which Nier Automata will be an RPG. Your argument holds no water either because any game Yoko Taro makes is fucking terrible EXCEPT for the story. If you hate the RPG elements why the fuck are you playing a Yoko Taro game, he even said he hated Nier.

Semi related, but does anyone have a gallery of the weapon progressions in Nier as you upgrade them? Most weapons in Nier change as you upgrade them, but I can not find any decent quality pictures of them.

DON'T STOP

...

A game doesn't have to be an RPG to have an entertaining story. Story isn't exclusive to the RPG genre. You're also ignoring pretty much everything I typed about how the RPG elements in previous games were minor and the focus is always on action gameplay.

Thanks japan. Why do you hate selling games?

Eight year olds don't have to be Japan's target audience. Eight year olds are dead.

Wasn't the original Nier and this rated M? Why the fuck would 8 year olds be the target audience?

...

But CoD/BF1 is rated M and targets eight year olds.

Try reading the EULA of one of your console games sometime

Also anyone who doesn't pirate their PC games or a crack before/after buying them is a retard.

I know eight year olds buy the game but they are not advertised to or are the targeted audience last I checked.

Last I checked midtwenties aged people didn't particularly care about supercool explosions and retarded scifi tech in their fps games or shop regularly at Gamestop where the games are advertised.

What kind of fucking midtwenties people are you talking to and where do I find them?

I guess he means normalcores

Most mid twenties people are young adult professionals in high paying starting positions.

I just came here for images. I played it in PS4 but two reasons why I wont bother with it until PC A.I have no money b.I borrowed the PS4 from my cousin.

North Texas, on the outskirts of shit city.
