All memes aside, is this playable on PC or should I go consolefag

>>382934026
yes

>>382934026
I'm a PC gamer mainly, but PS4 tbhwtf. PC is alright, but it still has issues and crashes. PS4 runs perfectly. You'd want to play it with a gamepad on PC anyways, so PS4 is just objectively better in this case IMO.

Runs very well on my high end machine, IIRC it runs well on medium builds too

>>382934026
I'd advocate PC if you got a beefy machine. You just missed a sale for it though

>>382934026
its a hit or miss. I never had issues (probably because I preemptively ran F.A.R and NieRepacker just to be safe). My friends didn't do any of that and has no issues but everyone else and their mother seems to have issues to its up to you. Either way you need a controller

>60fps gameplay 30fps cutscenes
>require 3rd party programs to fix potential issues

>30fps gameplay 30fps cutscenes

Your choice

>>382934026
Depends on your PC

>>382934026
>Buy on PC
>use the FAR mod
>refund it if it runs like shit then buy it on PS4

also you missed out on it being on sale for the last week or so

>>382934980
It's not 30fps on console

>>382935958
shit really? My bad

>>382934026
The cracked one runs worse than the one I bought from steam actually, so much for denuvo affecting performance I guess.

Remember to install FAR and you'll be alright.

Go PS4. Framerate can be a bit choppy at times but it's overall more stable than PC unless you have a beefy rig and the right fixes for the game

>>382934026
Finished all endings with keyboard + mouse. It was pretty nice.

>>382935236
60fps here. Reduce the light detail through FAR mod, and you will get plenity of frames per second. There's no noticeable quality loss.

>>382934026
Maxed out with i5 2500k and gtx 1070

Even my old hd 6950 could handle it with some lowered settings

>>382934026
Limit your core affinity so you aren't using virtual cores/hyperthreading. That pretty much fixed my crashes.

>>382934026
Its playable on PC, but you should download the mod "FAR" to get the most out of it.

>>382936459
>paying for multiplayer games
Singleplayer games are the only games worth their salt. Buying singleplayer games is worth it. Multiplayer is a waste of money

>>382934221
>PS4 runs perfectly.
Ignore this anon, it drops frames regularly on a regular PS4 and it's only 900p without AA.

>>382934026
Picked this up during the steam sale. Aside from some occasional minor lag during cutscenes, didn't have any problems. Controller is a must though.

While we're on the subject,
>finish route a
>route b puts you on the same path but with one less weapon and hacking
>can't breeze through the early game like the first nier
kinda sucks, but I'm interested to see where they're going with it

>>382937547
That's 100x better than relatively frequent crashes, overall bad performance, and other bugs on PC

Did you try any of the widely available solutions for the crashing? Did you try lowing Global Illumination? What "other bugs" do you mean?

>>382934026
Have had no issues on my 1070/6700 and no crashes just needed borderless gaming to fix the resolution but you should be using FAR anyway which can greatly improve performance.

Be aware that neither console holds 60FPS. Base PS4 is 900p, PS4 Pro is 1080p and both have issues with performance dropping into the 40's.

>got crakced version
>pc is nothing special
>ran on medium-high settings
> cracked far mod too
>beat game ~50 hrs of gayme play
>game never crashed

the ONLY issues i had were the mod acting up (has has a metal gear solid sound when it fucks up) the game itself ran fine and never crashed.

>>382938352
FAR is kinda shitty and bloated. He should have just made it an ini type thing and only really affect important changes like GI, AO, Bloom, and resolution instead of packaging it with his specialK™ shit. Also I noticed that the texture caching setting, that is enabled by default, actually increases stutter and really doesn't affect my VRAM all the much anyway.

>>382937659
>crashes
Update or downgrade your AMD drivers.
>overall bad performance
Upgrade your PC and/or download FAR. A 970 without FAR gets 45-60fps when AO is turned on. (AO comes with its own AA in this) at 1080p. Does better with it turned off.
>other bugs
Almost none beyond the fullscreen problem. Fullscreen is fixed using either FAR once again or Borderless Gaming.

Congratulations, the PC version is now better than the PS4 version.

>>382936459
Enjoy your dead online. Unless you stick to what little faggot kids and Russians still play.

>>382938803
It's just a dll and an ini.
You can delete the GUI shit, it's all in one folder.

>>382937971
Noice. Just started the route, hope I take to it as well as you do

>>382939076
It's not as much the GUI as it is the extra stuff

>>382937916
It's not. It's 60FPS (albeit not flawlessly on OG PS4).

>>382939304
What extra stuff?
The SKIM downloader, or whatever? Don't need it, faggot. download the zip off Github.
It's literally just the d3d dll and the ini.

>>382937971
Get ready. Route C/D is the Real Shit

PC version at its worst is better than PS4 version at its best even on Pro.

How should I play this game? Some people told me min-maxing your character and weapons is not how you should play? Also, I'm on route A and started to do some side quests for levels.

>>382934026
Needs at least a 1060 for 1080/60

>>382939942
Yeah, definitly don't min max. The game already isn't very challenging. Just play normally.

>>382939942
Find a weapon with a moveset you like
Make multiple plug-in chip loadouts for different scenarios (freerunning, boss fighting, regular, etc.)
Don't try farming enemies for exp
make money by selling things that you dont need
save your machine cores though, they get more expensive later on

>>382939576
The shit like his implementation of the frame limiter, the memory management, "steam enhancements", the hud options, extra camera options and the texture caching. Not to mention the shitty OSD which it tries to push on you because the software breaks if you try to use anything else. I'm not saying these might not be useful for some people but are pretty unnecessary for 90% of the users and I don't trust that they aren't poorly implemented as I said before the texture caching option actually increases stutter and framedrops.

>>382940236
>save your machine cores though, they get more expensive later on

is this the only item that does this? I already sold 7 but I imagine I will find a lot more.

>>382934026
no
source: just refunded it

>>382934221
>>382937659
I only had it crashing a few times turning off some of my cpu cores and inserting the patch fix. And these crashes was when i had the game tabbed while doing other things.

>>382937659
680 gtx neve rhad it crash on me

>>382940731
from what I've noticed yeah its the only one. by the time you are playing as A2 after route B they jump to like 22k if i remember correctly

>>382940679
https://github.com/Armada651/NierFullscreenFix

Just use that, fixes the fullscreen but doesn't have Kaldaien's bs in it.

There are no worthwhile mods yet, namely ones that change 9S garbage combat.

>>382941121
Or alternatively play in windowed and use borderless gaming to make it full screen.

>>382941214
HE'S NOT A COMBAT UNIT

>>382937971
route c is the real shit my nigga. really enjoy it. route b my least fav though it is nice to see the bheind the sdcenes shit to the epic moments of route a. basicallly i hated any time i had to play aas 9s. i just equiped spears and was a ranged hacker

>>382941295
I don't give a fuck. It's inexcuseable to give best character, worst moveset. Nier:A is feminist garbage.

>>382941214
well, canonically he's not made for combat

There's literally no reason not to play it on PC.

>make the two females sexy, strong, have good combat and viable gameplay
>make the one male, weak, short, effeminate and have terrible gameplay

>>382941262
Why do computers have a hard time running a game full screen, but easily runs a game on a borderless window that takes up the whole screen?

Isn't that the same fucking thing? Full screen should work a little bit better because there is no window to load.

>>382941952
Not everything is about feminism you mouth breathing mongoloid.

>>382941952
Sounds more like fap material for Taro than a feminist agenda.

>>382942201
>>382942063
Someone post the pic with the lardwhales cosplaying as 2B. Its a strong female rolemodel that obviously outdoes everything the male one can do. Japanese are just as fucking cucked as the west don't let them fool you with moonrunes and hentai. It's all the same shit.

Just say you mainly play on a pc, and never unironically use the term gamer again, you utter moron

>>382934026
It's runs perfectly, except for when it crashes for no reason. It doesn't happen super often, but you should save a lot.

>>382942393
9S is strong as fuck though, and he saves her much more than she saves him. The only reason A2 is able to go toe to toe with him is their gap in experience.

>>382942393
I don't see your point, landwhales cosplay as all kinds of characters, they have nothing to do with anything.

>>382941994
It's a weird problem. In very general terms, when an application is fullscreen you have complete controle of the graphic stack, while in a borderless fullscreen window it's still a window and the OS + graphic drivers can do their magic to make everything better.

>>382937659
I only got a handful of crashes during 90 hours of playtime and I didn't lose anything to the crashes anyway.

>>382938852
>PC version is now better than the PS4 version.
>still stuck at 1.01
lel

I'm playing it on an Athlon 870k with an HD 7870.....1080p, maxed 40-50fps....no mods

>>382936981
>Reduce the light detail through FAR mod
FAR has its own config?

>>382942945
There are no other bugs on PC other than the fullscreen resolution issue.
