Needs more 2B

Posting news in the new thread.
Famitsu's Top 30 for last week's sales in Japan came out last night and in it Nier: Automata hit number one and helped drive sales of the PlayStation 4, selling 182,762 copies (not counting digital) with reports that it's sold out in a lot of places. In contrast, Nier: Replicant, which came out for the PS3 in 2010, only sold 64,818 copies in its first week and had lifetime sales of 134,015 copies.

MY BODY IS READY
Still no steam page for it though.


Guess we'll see tomorrow.

Good news.
Still waiting for journos to get analblasted by 2B looking problematic

Sorry, I have only money for one game, and it'll be the one without denuvo. Estival versus

Did I miss ending E? Going to play as nines next time around on the final boss
also how do I get to Emil's house, the elevator was taking upwards of an hour and I think I sequence broke

They're going to get really fucking pissed at certain behaviors machines exhibit
and the section where you effectively shoot up a robo-orgy

I got Ending C, used Chapter Select to go directly to the choice, and then got Ending D. During the credits you transition to Ending E.

Good luck, user. Just remember that all those players who come to help you sacrificed their save data. Respect that.

I'm still on a DSL connection, does this game have online functionality?

I'm ready for some salt because i'm all out. Going to make hamburgers with their salt on release date.

(checked)
On one hand, I want it to do well so we get more Taro games. On the other hand, I want journos to slam it so Taro's opinion of the west stays "fuck it" and he never compromises on his games to pander to westerners like Kojima or Inafune

Ending E is basically Touhou with the ending credits, and is basically impossible to do alone. After a certain amount of deaths (which the game handles in a really cool way, each time you die there's flavor text from players that left a message and the devs themselves) you'll be asked if you want to accept another players help, and then manifestations of differerent player's sacrificed save data will appear and help you and make you invincible.

Once you reach the end, you're given the option to leave a message - and the question of whether you'd sacrifice your save data for the sake of helping another player.

can I get ending E without said online functionality if I just gitgud? I managed to do no-hit hax run on the second half of the game whenever they forced nines on me
or will they just send bots with pre-rendered messages to help me? either way that's really touching

One of the developer messages is basically "I'd be really impressed if you beat this while offline.", so I'm guessing you're just gonna have to git gud.

I'm up to it, if I can use a keyboard somehow it would be a lot easier though
does said developer have a twitter I can shitpost at if/when I beat it?

link to source please watch some niconico stream and freaking nips use auto-chip, fucking casual

Its weird because it was not hostile at first but then they tried to rape you

nah you find the guy you were chasing, he swings at you and then if you hit back it's unavoidable to miss hitting non-aggro'd bots and it quickly becomes a frenzy

I hope this means Taro gets to make Drakengard 4 with Platinum helping out once again. God knows the crazy bastard can't do entertaining gameplay despite his games being interesting as fuck.

doesnt matter but the question is that is it more effective and will it impact the loot/plot

I doubt anyone gives a shit at this point, but apparently review embargo is going up for NA on Monday.

Autochips are not more effective, in the late-game I was able to completely shit on all enemies and started getting frame-perfect dodging down. The gameplay is fairly easy to get down and I started getting risky with A2 and putting her into berserk mode for entire fights, spamming heals to maintain it
Not sure if their use could affect the story, afaik your playstyle doesn't play into it as much as the decisions you make during gameplay.

also do Adam and Eve ever grow dicks? do they just wear clothes and talk about dicks because "humans do it" asking for a friend

By the way, how's the English VA? Played with papa Nier in English and was pretty good. Will it be similar or better experience?

Thanks, but by effective I meant playing with one hand and doing other important tasks with the other.

English VA rating:
2B: 4/10 would not recommend, sounds whiny and overemotional
9S: 7/10 bretty good, especially during the second-half when he starts getting whiny and goes full edgelord
A2: 8/10 because I am a hopeless waifufag and her delivery is decent

I went with Japanese voices though because I have a very light understanding of the language and like to pick out inconsistencies like them changing fucking AD to CE, and some wordplay english-speakers wouldn't get as well as formalities

Varies from meh to alright depending on character. You have no reason not to use jap voices since it's actually a pretty damn star studded cast.

Yeah I played the demo in jap VA was impressed since I usually prefer English due to the overacting Japanese (see FFXV). Just worried that there might be cameos from the prequels
Also, why Nintendrones get triggered so easily?

Because Nintendo of Japan is a yakuza company that has invested millions into creating brainwash-tier brand loyalty.

This will sound lame as hell but this is the most fun I've had with a video game since 2010 when they finally got 3D fallout right.

top kek

If I had mixed feelings on the demo, should I still buy this? I felt like either the game was missing something or I was playing it wrong, in terms of how the game felt.
Where do I buy the Asian English edition?

They agro regardless if you leave it

Play-Asia. That said the demo is actually the game's opening segment and is actually far from representative of the actual game in terms of pacing and structure.

The intro is by-far the most annoying bit of the game

They don't aggro until the machine you were chasing reveals itself.

50 bucks says this game is gonna sell like crap.

Best selling game in Japan right now, actually. It's selling twice as much as SRW.

What about the combat? Is it any different in any way?
Can anyone think of ANYTHING vital to the combat that isn't clearly explained? I was able to beat the demo but I still remember how I had mixed feelings. I'm sorry for being vague, I only played the demo once, but dammit I want to like this game.

Combat is very Platinum. In the main game you'll get chips to let you have witch time, counters, and dodge offset for example.

Literally topped the charts on release

HOLD THE /FUCK/ UP
ARE WE UNDERTALE NOW? DOES AUTOMATA HAVE ITS OWN GASTER!?

UNDIERTALE: AUTOMETTATON CONFIRMED


lewd!~

Aside from getting full access to the bracer move set with actual equipment and spears? Mechanics such as Overclock(witch time),counters, dodge offset etc are actually chips you get in the actual game. Also you get several pod variants that change up how it fires and so on.

We'll see about the western sales.

go back to reddit, this game actually has gameplay and isn't a giant multiculturalism allegory

Well it's not fucking out yet.
My PS4 owning normalfag friends all preordered it despite my warnings about the director, go figure.

Thanks for the responses. I'll give it a go.
When Play-Asia restocks, that is. Shit.

Do any of you guys know what the deal is with the wise machines that commit suicide? They come up as a quest marker but they just an hero and nothing gets completed, when you chapter select they come back too unlike all other side quests after completion so clearly something needs to be resolved here.

I guess I'm buying the game again if it doesn't have denuvo, just fuck me up Yoko.
Finally got to play around with A2 the other day, You can get 280% bonus damage from her taunts and just fuck shit up.
Her greatsword taunt rivals dante's taunts in cool factor.

Yet undertale was more successful and executed the save state idea better. There is also no allegory other than friendship, if you didn't have your head up your ass all the time you would know this.

How about you get your slimy ass back to halfchan, you hypocritic fucking hermit.

The save file gimmick was from Nier on the PS3.

About time they named a date, now we just wait for the "Sphincter Brown™" Mod.

Yeah, you belong on reddit.

I'm a big dumb idiot.

Oh god. Not you again.

Lurk more.

I've seen the debate between brown and pink. The pink won obviously while the scatfag starting shitting the thread as usual.

Entire series fucking burried

Can we expect a trilogy series of 2B like Final Fantasy with Lightning? I'd rather we got Kaine instead.

I'd rather not have balls on my screen in 4K.

I forgot, was she dick no balls, but internal testicles in the vulva futa, or Futlly stacked futa?

More successful because it pandered to certain "people" and executed nothing better because the save file could be found and manipulated from local folders.
Is that why half the game was about muh poor oppressed monsters and how they have every right to shit human society up?
>everyone that dislikes my favorite game is this one mental shitposter
xD

I always thought it was the dick with no balls type because Taro once said "that actually happens" or something in regards to her.

Here's a revolutionary and novel thought:
I want to ejaculate inside 2B.

BUT WHY?

Well, she was caught masturbating furiously that one time-

IMPREGNATE 2B

Hearing 9S's cries when he got impaled by 2A after stabbing her and realizing all he did was for nothing was the most heartbreaking thing I've heard in a while.

For my own sexual pleasure, which I believe I would get from the aforementioned act.

Hold The Fuck Up
Will the online version be some cucked translated one or the Japanese with the English language option like the PS4 release?

What's the point in living

There is only one English translation.

Then why is the PS4 US release taking longer than the Japan one?

>not become as gods

ya dun goofed

Reported for obvious ban evasion and shitposting lies about tumblrtale.

(full house)

Licensing, shipping times, like 20 different age rating systems to go through, etc.

Is what's behind them good?

I bought Nier Automata on PS4. It is a piece of shit nongame. I've spent 7 hours doing fetchquests and autistically picking up random items that respawn in the same places over and over. With a tutorial section that has difficulty options that make it stupidly difficult to complete because there are no saves and you can later change the difficulty at any time you choose when you can actually save. I bought the PS4 version because it looked like the PC version was delayed indefinitely, but now it's coming out just 2 weeks after the original date they buried. The game runs at sub 60fps lots of the time and it looks like Quake 3 after the tutorial.

The worst part about this is
I will buy it twice

Square Enix's delay strategy will have worked and goys like me double dipped. The game is a piece of shit but lovable because it knows what it is. I want to play more just to fly around as 2B. The PS4 double dip cost me nothing because it was in an old PSN account with funds, attached to an email account that had since deactivated because of no activity. I lost nothing really and it means risking less on a game I would've had to buy to find out anyway because PC will have Denuvo. Maybe in the end I did something good by giving more money to Yoko Taro. Plus maybe 144hz and 1080p but I doubt that when they recommend a fucking 980 for system requirements. Square Enix ports are always garbage.

Now I have to survive for 2 weeks to wait for PC even though I could continue playing it right now. At least I have my Switch with Zeruda to carry me over.

...

Kill yourself.

Can anyone even corroborate these claims of supposed retarded prologue difficulty. You are literally the only faggot who's even mentioned, let alone complained, about it.

Holy fuck, why does my ID keep changing?

Millennials complain about everything, they learned it's cool from tv and neurotic jews. What they don't realize, is how revealing this is about their limitations… they are branding themselves.

Where do you think you are?
That OP was a fag though.

That's because everyone else is starting on Normal.

You can get chain hit in this game. Dodging does not mean immune to damage if you roll into another attack, there is no witch time. Starting on hard, 3 or 2 at points can be death. You need to be standing still aka not being hit to use healing items.

Why the fuck would I waste my time making this up. You take way more damage that you did during the demo. You'll also notice you start at a higher level in the demo than you will be at the point of the full game.

What good is this game if you're not an ass man? Requesting more A2.

Nice baito desu ne~


You're a faggot.

FUG

We have had a massive influx in the past 2 weeks of people pretending to be retarded.

Holla Forums is a board where Fallout 4 probably has one of the highest attach rates. Does anyone on here ever say something positive about that game? Even when they knew it was garbage, they bought it in droves. Long before Overwatch released I was the only person making threads for that game and there was mostly just people coming in to shit on it. I could go on.

All I know of Fallout 4 is that it was Skyrim with guns and a new skin and that you must kill your son or nuke the commonwealth. So basically, it's crap unless modded.

Oh, and stealth is broken as fuck, just like in Skyrim.

i'm fucked, aren't i? i fufill the other requirements

What about A2? Can't think of anything sexual here

I don't know user, seems pretty lewd to me.

What about her tits?
Since the fact that ass is for niggers.

Is DSP your nephew or something?

This game runs at 60fps on a console. No need to worry, the requirements are surely lies, at worst you may have to lower the resolution from 1080p.
It's going to have denuvo though, maybe even the new assrape version of denuvo they made in panic after the re7 crack.

...

meh, I found multiple instances of games running OK (low settings) on my system even when I don't fulfill many of the minimum requirements. Also, there are youtube channels & websites specialized on optimizing games for low-end gamers so perhaps you could get extra performance if they figure out what needs to be done

A real man appreciates both the merits of life and hometown.

Fo sho

SE did mention they want to use something stronger than Denuvo. Did they clarify further in that?

This is going to be a long week…

Denuvo probably contacted them to say that they super revamped their DRM and the re7 thing will never ever happen again, so square decided to try the new version.

You're trying too hard retard. "S**T SQUARE ENIX" Is a meme from Yoko himself.

Capcom is also using Denuvo again for the new Dead Rising, so either they did revamp their stuff a lot or they have someone really good at persuasion on payroll.

Have they said anything about the demo on PC?

So what's the deal in [E]nding where you see A2's model with the full hair sitting on a window when she was supposed to be a one of a kind model who was the last survivor?

am I the only one who finds 2B sexier with a skirt, or am I just too jaded from too much porn?

**MOAR*&

Here's to hoping for it to be cracked in about a week.

BRB committing sepukku

The fuck is this? I can't even read it, it just errors when I click it.

...

That's the appeal of panties.

...

Nice

It says that it might erase your entire hard drive.

but why

But why not?

Her vision is augmented, isn't it?

Most denuvo games don't have a 3rd party DRM warning because of the fucktarded PR bullshit they pull by calling it "anti-tamper".

Be careful around the rabbit hole.

You did this.

It was me.
I did it all.

God dammit reddit what did i tell you

Contributing 2Butt


I'm gonna need the sauce for this, friendo. Reverse image search gives jack all.

C'mon man.

Gesundheit.

I don't read much manga. I usually just play games. First time I've ever seen that posted. The girl does somehow look vaguely familiar.

...

What are you, poor?

...

We are volkisch, you are jew

My interest is highly piqued. Can't say I really understand the pissing thing. I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be hilarious or sort of serious. It's odd.

but I like it already

Read the manga. Then again, the anime did well too so you can watch it too.

...

Welcome to Holla Forumschan.

Fuckoff imkamfty

Why is a spic the leader of stormniggers anyways?

Not where I'm "paying" if you know what I mean
;^)
;^)

...

How do you do the YoRHa Betrayal side quest? I go to the quest marker and nobody's there.

You go back to playing Skyrim

Anyone got the OST?

But I hate Skyrim

Then stop playing games like you woulf be playing Skyrim.
Investigate the surroundings

Nobody else showed up, that's why it's a betrayal.

I did

...

Turn out you need to do some other side quests before they appear, Why the hell did they give this quest if you can't even do it yet? Also, thanks for nothing edgelord

Yes

why no steam demo?

How much does Nier Automata have to do with the first Nier? Should I watch a walkthrough or read a story synopsis or is there no meaningful continuation? I don't buy consoles so never played through the first game.

So CPY can release their own demo

Look harder

FUGGG

Can you give me the proofs? I haven't seen any concrete mention of it yet, but everyone keeps saying it has it.

The madman actually did, not only did he made a happy ending, he made the happiest of endings
If you'd have told me that there would be a game past 2010 that would be in my all time favorites I would've shitposted until I was banned.

This might just be the joy coming from that, but it might just be my favorite game of all time right now

It's square enix, do you really think they'd reloease it without denuvo?

Is there a way to change your dress color yet? If Taro missed out on a playable Youmu in a 3D bullet hell, I'd be very disappointed.

All their Japanese games released on Steam didn't have Denuvo

Welp, I already spoiled myself what the ending does in itself. But eh, I still enjoyed the first Nier even though I knew what was going to happen in the last ending.

Now, the big question: Is PS+ necessary for this particular part of the ending?

I love him.

Does anyone have that long vertical list of events that happen in the DoD/Nier universe?

I was going to post the image of Drakengard/Nier timeline with all the games novels and shit but apparently I have fucking lost it.

It's okay user, we all have.

Sounds p gay

So what seems to be the verdict on this game? P* proved they can still deliver? Does the OST hold a candle to the original NieR's?

While I enjoyed the demo, I was a bit weary/disenchanted over some things like that cringefest of a English theme, a English cast with some remarkably shitty names and there's still the issue of (((localization))) but IIRC the JP version has subtitles and I suppose it uses the translation made by 8-4. In any case, I haven't seen anyone chimp out over the text besides that alleged Nintendo reference that got taken out.


Have some A2's because she needs more love.

That would also be nice.

It is

I don't really know if it's necessary, but some guy called Mr Clemps made a 3 part Nier analysis on youtube. He is a literal faggot though and can't help shoving it into the videos. They're still watchable though.

Oh hey, this one actually got tits.
Nevermind, mods will fix it.
And sfm.

Beat it today I can say that the combat feels satisfying and there is a fuck ton of customization to your play style with the Plug-in chips. 9S is a little too simple and gets boring quickly compared to 2B and A2, but he's great for set ups.
Soundtrack is pretty much a continuation from NieR in terms of quality, I still like the original OST more but if NieR is in first place then Automata is in second, it's really good.
There are some cases of stupid shit in the subs, for some reason they decided to make 2B more sarcastic in some scenes, you can see this in the demo where in the Japanese version she says something close to "No way" while in the english version she says "Oh, That's great", it happens a few times and it's somewhat annoying because her character is constantly trying to shut away every single emotion for reasons of her own, but that's it really, it's nowhere near as bad as Drakengard 3.

A2 is best girl and did nothing wrong.
Not a big spoiler but when you get either ending C or D they give you the debug menu and let you fuck around with it at any time.

I will check it out in a year when it is less than $20 and has mods and fully rendered pussy with no panties.

Truly you have horrible taste.

Pantsu are nice, but fully clothed + skirt + nopan is better.

WEISS YOU DUMBASS

Every thread

According to what little I've seen, Automata stands completely on its own barring a few nods and cameos (like Emil, Popola and Devola, the return of some tracks from the original Nier). I haven't played much so take my word as a grain of salt.

This one of them. There was another that was vertical with all text and had much more info.

Thanks, now I have it saved. I swear to god if it disappears by itself again it must be NSA trolling.

...

Just canceled my PS4 version preorder. I can wait ten days.

PS+ is generally only needed for matchmaking features in games. I think in Destiny you didn't need it to play with others, you just needed it for the PvP. Maybe dungeons.

That's nice too, but I was thinking more along the lines of subtle exhibitionism.

this """game""" is offensive to women and the muslim people.

...

I guess the self-destruction hits way too close to home for some folks.

Taro is a master at making people destroy themselves. He even gave you such a good incentive to do so this time around.

The dodge is a fucking AoE and the tutorial is intentionally difficult to piss off 'spergs like you.

the pods are rebuilding 2B 9S and A2 out of their own parts, YoRHa is kill and the pods gained sentience and decided to rebuild the androids they were attached to

That cuckold faggot Super Bunnyhop made a 20 minute Nier video, to cash in on the rising popularity of Nier/DOD lore dumps, talking shit about the game, seeing plot discrepancies where there aren't any, etc. touting it as an informative "watch this instead of playing the game" video.

All his faggot fans in the comments saying Clemp's much more informative series on DOD1/3/Nier is too "cringeworthy" or too long, and lambasting him for using "triggered memes" (red flag that Bunnyhop's fanbase is comprised of tumblrites).

It really really irks me that this pretentious faggot has convinced people his video is all they need going into Automata and it paints an extremely unflattering picture of Nier. Sounds like a fucking reviewer from 2011.

Opinion fucking discarded.

This

Who?

...

Its not surprising that pretentious faggot is still on games journo pros, he is trying to run interference for his no talent indie fuck hipster niggers.

The west cant compete with japan as it stands right now, most of the kikes running the show only approve of politics heavy games with ugly standards of jewish beauty thanks to muh post modernism artstyle XDDD.

Their zogbot videogame industry is starting to crumble, and bunnyhop and leigh are going to watch everything they worked on be destroyed in less than 4 game releases that dont have censorship due to them no longer giving a shit what those racist sjws want.

you may as well go back to reddit for running interference for goons.

super bunnyhop was on gamesjourno pros.

it matters because these people fag enable shitty translations and get games banned from entering the USA, and constantly shitalk non americans in GDC. They are the reason why games are cancer.

I don't keep much track of all the literally whos, I just avoid the gaming press in general. Now I know to avoid this faggot too.

aaaand its the beginning of the end.

everything good that becomes popular turns to shit.

Although that sentiment has some truth to it, it's too soon to be judging. I mean this is a japanese game with a sexy MC, I don't know how well it will sell in the west.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE'S ANY FLOWER EASTER EGG KIND OF ACCESSORIES FOR REAL THO?

2B WITH A FLOWER WOULD BE AMAZING

Yeah as soon as modders put it in :^)

From what I've seen of the drakengard games they were always shit and only appealed to lore fags.

Kept the normalfags out.

What lore? the lore makes little sense and does ass pulls when ever it runs into a wall. It's more a love of the batshit crazy grimdark-ness of the games and how the protagonists are openly psychotic murder hobos who end up making everything worse.

A 2
2 A
A A
2 A A
A 2 A
ASS TO ASS!

In DOD1 the narrator is unreliable and constantly ignoring or omitting shit to make Caim seem more heroic than he actually is. Only by playing the other branches do you get to see that not only is he a bloodthirsty psycho, but he also doesn't give 2 shits about the world or his sister. DOD3 has multiple timelines with branch A leading into DOD1 iirc and honestly, the game can't be taken too seriously (An old dude talks about how proud he is about fucking a damn horse). DOD2 can be safely ignored because Taro didn't make it and it's shit anyhow. Nier has quite a bit of underlying lore. Read Grimoire Nier.

This plot keep getting bigger and bigger.

NO DOBSON, NO!

YOU CANT STOP IT
IT NEEDS TO GET BIGGER

The entirety of drakengard and most of nier1 is weapons grade high octane autism and edgy on purpose railroading that should be ignored. I just came for 2b.

...

whinging over e-celebs

jesus fuck, mate. I watched the bunnyhop guys video and it was fine. He doesn't say to watch it instead of playing the game. He says to watch it if you don't have the time to play the game but still want to get filled in on the story.

his videos on Metal Gear are good as well.

...

I think this explains why anybody gives a shit about Nier sequel

I want to know what are the full range of options in the debug menu. In this video, the devs activate time attack with a score meter. I saw a comment somewhere pointing out the settings and it seemed much more limited in comparison.
I really fucking hope they didn't screw this up and gave us the same options in the final game.

...

What kind of expectations can we have for Steam preload?

Does Steam still usually do this, and if so how early before release is it typically done?

I thought I'd gotten gud, turns out there is a level above good to be gotten.
also how the fuck do I go to emil's house? I found his elevator but it doesn't ever reach the bottom

A2

ASS

Occam's razor at its finest.

Lorefag time
What is the differences between YoRHa and the resistance? seems like its was 2 different organization. And is the resistance a human? theres a side quest where you need to find a missing dude and when you found him, he's covered in blood or something.

Tekken released early, I see

give me the lowdown Holla Forums. I've never played Nier or Drakengard as I don't do consoles, but with Automata coming to PC I want to try it out. Does Automata require knowledge of the other games in some form such as story or anything or am I good to go?

you will have no clue what is going on. Time to upgrade to consoles.

...

Retards are only going to make it sell better and wind up looking even worse.

Drakengard 1 appears to emulate pretty well from what I've played so far.

What settings are you using?

VU cycle stealing set to 1, and I always have it set up so I can hit tab to turn on 1-1 frameskip if things slow down but it runs at 100% anyway.

Probably needing to know the basic setting of nier would help.

One day, a giant magic salt creature (and a pyschopath riding a dragon) appears over Tokyo. The dragon defeats the creature, but it explodes, raining magic fallout over the planet. This causes a demonic zombie plague that destroys civilization . Mankind studies the remains of the creature and dragon, reverse engineers magic from it and uses it to save humanity. The big plan is to use techno magic to separate everyone's soul, then transfer them into new plague immune clone bodies. Rather than immediately doing the transfer, someone has the stupid idea to give the clones temp personalities and (with the help of android caretakers) use them to wipe out the plague zombies first since the clone bodies could be replaced *almost* indefinitely while the human souls are irreplaceable and are now mostly safe while they're floating around all body-less.

This process takes so long and goes through so many generations of clones that the clones eventually develop real personalities, and the robots kind of lose track of how to start the combining process. Things stay like this for centuries, until the disembodied souls start falling apart/going crazy and the clones have all been copied and recopied so often that their original patterns are starting to break down and new copies are coming out damaged.

This is where Nier's plot happens. The protag winds up fucking up the only thing that might have fixed this mess and the game ends with humanity and the clones doomed to both die out, presumably leaving only the androids and robots left to do what ever the fuck they're doing in Automata.

Thanks. Turns out frameskipping was my problem.

Spoiler that shit user. I'm waiting for the Nier remaster.

Tanuki/danuki are cutest monster girls

fuck yourself newfaggot. go suck more twitter sjw gooncum.

Nigger this is an android thread, leave.

My life is suffering.

GIVE UP HERE?

Better wait till we get all the Drag-on Dragoons first. Maybe after a decade or two.

Why should I buy this when I don't give a fuck about anime girls?

Playing DoD 1 right now, and HOLY SHIT THE FUCKING CAMERA. Am I just shit at the game, because the camera is all sorts of retarded.


Taro said if the Automata does well, there's a good chanve Nier will get a remaster.


Why should I care what you buy?

The Resistance (in the YoRHa stage play) were older model YoRHa androids who also got thrown into missions trying to retake the Earth on previous Machine Wars but failed and ultimately lost contact with command. Command didn't bother in attempting to rescue the survivors and kept sending missions to fuck up the machines. This and the events in the stage play are why A2 has an intense murderboner for Command.

It's not you. It's widely known that Drakengard has shit gameplay. You'll just have to bear it until you learn to enjoy the killing. If it helps any, I believe that most people get "hooked" by route B since it's the point where shit starts to get bizarre.
If you don't wanna play it then you could always read DarkId's LP.

No. If you don't care about a game, you don't care about it. simple as that

DEEPEST LORE

Dr Pavel?

I still get drops in the castle ranging down to 85%. Any other recommended settings? I have an i5 and GeForce GTX 950M.

I hope Denuvo gets cracked rather quick on this one.

Was this actually confirmed yet or is this another rumor people automatically take for granted?

It's not like it's DLC user, you're not paying extra.


Did you look at the tweet on the official twitter account in

Your GPU's better than mine, but my CPU's (probably) better.
Have you tried different rendering plugins? I use DX11. And maybe lower the hardware settings (mipmapping, anisotropic filtering) while you're at it, if possible.

He was talking about Denuvo.

I was talking about Denuvo, not the pre-order content.

It's the principle of the matter.


Platinum and Squenix said that they wanted to do something against pc piracy, which might be a hint towards the usage of Denuvo.

So like every video game out there post '12?

But that's retarded. Games are cheaper now than they were in the 90s.

I personally can never give a shit about cosmetics, which is what these are. Cosmetics are bait for normalfags and autists to pay for pixels. DLC that has actual game content annoys the hell out of me and doubly so if it's first day. But people paying for pixels is mostly a fault on the person's side not the company. I draw a firm line between gameplay and pixels when it comes to whether or not something is bullshit business practice.

So Holla Forums I'm torn should I get the PS4 version or the steam version on my Gayming Laptop. I'm torn because I love having physical copies of my games but I want to support games like this getting released on PC, plus if there's denuvo I can always crack it myself after I buy it right?

Any cheap sites to buy PC version yet or are we going to get full gabenjewed by Steam store only

Be a good goy and buy both.

Don't buy twice. I'd get the PS4 version, and also pirate the PC version. If my PC doesn't run it well enough, oh well, I can already play it on PS4. If I get a better PC later, I can enjoy the game in its best quality and have mods. Still only buying the game once, and still supporting the devs by buying at/near launch.

PC version might be Denuvo'd though, piracy might not be an option for a while

Wouldn't pirating the PC version jack up the whole pseudo online elements in ending E?

...

confirmations are needed

first: does it uses de nuevo?
second: is the pc version fucked because of the localization?

Did you mention the ass?

kinguin.net/category/34503/nier-automata-steam-cd-key/
Barely saves anything for ameridollars but seems to save about a tenner for euros. I'll personally wait to see if it'll have denuvo and if not probably still wait for a price drop/sale.
Discount code for this month is UZ4YC3MB7U83

Don't know yet. They are already delaying the PC version by ten days. I don't see it being worth the money for corporate, but you never know with Square Enix.
I'd doubt they'd relocalize the game for the PC version. Do you mean will they fuck up the port?
I hope not.

ironic shitposting is shitposting

not the port
i heard the game would be localize by 8-4 (despise the game already being english for some reason), those people have a bad fame as translators.
if the pc version will be the same as the translated version you can expect a lot of shit.

They even included the subtitles in the Nip version, I'll be surprised if they don't use that one.

So is there actual gameplay ?
Or is this just a game about ass ?

i wonder because you know

Depends on the publisher
Even NISAs shit can be half decent if under a leash, I seriously doubt they'll remove anything or make a dedicated translation for the West.

Surely you're not this stupid are you?

It's a slower Bayonetta 2, which was just a slower Transformers Devastation

Personally to me Rising was the best, Devastation becomes a clusterfuck because on the hardest difficulties you do fuck all for damage and you spend 85% of every fight in Witch Time

How rig requirement demanding is it gonna be? Can a PC that couldn't run withcer 3 run automata? What's the most essential segment, RAM?
I want to play it so badly but have this feeling won't be able to

You could just look at the steam page, whatever is listed just add 20%

...

LEL
They've put an i5 4670 on the same level of an A10-7850K.
They have no idea what the requirements will be.

You need to meet the min RAM requirement (I think its 4GB). Otherwise you might have to page out to the hard drive which will cripple the game. Looks like any decent CPU will work. You sometimes can get away with below min spec for graphics cards.

Eh, since I already have a PS4 i'm just going to get it for that. At this point I don't feel like dropping a couple hundred on just upgrading my card. Especially since AMD has popped out with a promising new processor (always use AMD in desktops) I think I want to just wait a little bit and build a completely new rig.

I see. I've been wondering about whether it would require Plus or not. Yakuza 0 for example lets you check the rankings but not play online with the minigames without Plus.
I've just read that Nioh for example does not require Plus for the feature that lets you fight the revenants that other players leave behind - Automata's ending system probably works like this, then.

Great. The first mop has appeared and he's going to proceed to bring more of his kind in and ruin everything. Can't you find a waifu somewhere else? Shoo shoo!

No. You have the right idea here. Go on and get a cheapo 360, Jtag it and play Nier. You can Emulate DOD1. DOD2 and 3 are safe to skip as DOD2 is shit that wasn't made by Taro, and 3 is ok but it comes before DOD1 and even then, only ending A has any connection. Unless you want to read branch E which has a direct connection to DOD1.

Good job, now they're going to dump even more after they stopped.

Dammit! What the fuck have I done?

I'm still surprised that the madman asked for a zip of 2B lewds for himself.

Man, what a time to be alive

MGR is the only Platinum game I've played, and I thought it was one of the worst action games I've ever made the mistake of wasting bandwith on.

You have to go back

Doubt it. Witcher 3 was optimized really well.

Sorry I don't like slow ass games with clunky controls and constant scripted segments that take the control of your hands on top of incredibly cringeworthy writing.

0/10
Try a little bit less

Why is MGR such a bad action game?

seeing as most of you niggers have played the jap version already, should i pre-order the pc version?
my problem is i'm just under the recommeded requirements.

...

What do you have? How much are you under and in what?

This is the first level I've died on.

Rising is fucking LEAGUES faster than Nier Automata is, and that's just a fucking fact

I wouldn't pre-order and wait to see if the game will have denuvo or not.
That being said the game is worth the full price tag.

It's really slow if you don't know how to play the game, but instead of realizing he's doing it wrong user just blames the game.

I've just started chapter 4 of DoD, and it's droning as hell. I'm not sure I have the autism for this.

You could be playing Bayonetta/Rising/Devastation right now and skip out on all that pointless time wasting running around

The game is incredibly painful to play on purpose so you shouldn't be playing it for the gameplay if you are. The story however is what makes it so interesting but according to this user It's not going to get better until route B. So it's really up to you and how much you liked other Yoko Taro games. If this is the first, then how much you like games that have nice stories with intentionally bad game play.

Or you could do what this user said who got trolled so hard by Yoko he now hovers a thread of a game he hates.

0/10 TRY HARDER

A flawless argument. Checkmate.


So if I yell at the screen, enemies will attack me faster instead of like once per minute?

post more 2b butt

Who has the better vidya butt: 2b or Snake?

2b I'm buying the game mostly for the butt afterall

I need it.

Says discount code invalid

getting the final endings in these games are torturous grindfests with little reward. You're much better off just stopping after you get all the easy endings, then watching the final ending on youtube.

So people who have the Japanese release with English translation. From my understanding it's the same translation the western release will get.

Anyone notice any fuckery with the translation? SJW bullshit, memes, etc? This is 8-4 so I'm skeptical it's not pozzed to shit.

apart from misusing "gross" I don't think I noticed anything particularly bad. I guess Square Enix/Yoko Taro kept them on a leash or something.

4S is a bro

I want even more shitlordom.

This is something SJWs do a lot to describe anything they don't like. Can you give me context on how it was misused? Spoiler if necessary.

The wait has been very difficult for me.
