Yeah I found it, sounds a little different than I remember, but whatever. Thanks.

Ask the general, some people were playing it last time that I checked it. Shit looks creepy and grindy.

I will only support this if the NieR remake finally settles all the bullshit between gestalt and replicant

What's with all the contrarian false flagging faggots in this thread?

More games, hopefully. Or best case scenario an entirely new IP.
Nier: Automata is amazing and it's my first Yoko Taro game. I can see why he has a huge cult following.

>>384806464
Was there any bullshit? If you were talking about the Gestalt references in the Automata weapon story, it was the localization team changing it, the original was about bro nier as usual, IIRC.

>>384801615
No it really isn't. Its mediocre.

>>384800149

>>384806709
Replicant is canon. Nier Automata is confirmed to carry on from a novelisation called The Lost World, where bro Nier is the Nier that is featured.

Tbh I just want him to start a new franchise where most of the world building is in game, not in novelisations.

>>384807171
I would rather have a new franchise as well, but if it has to be another NieR I'd like a complete remake of NieR so the west has the actual game

Automata features weapon stories from both versions.

>>384807541
thats all it matters in capitalism retard

>>384807420
I'd prefer a remake of DG1 and 3 where the gameplay isn't completely terrible.

Nier is already fine as is. Though I think Automata is pretty good as a conclusion to the Greater Drakengardverse, so I'd like a new IP. Equally autistic hopefully but built from the ground up with decent finances.

>>384807171
>Replicant is canon.
I know, I wasn't sure about what confused that anon, Taro always cared about only Replicant and that's how it should be.

> where most of the world building is in game, not in novelisations.
Sadly, that's impossible. Even with Automata the multi-media thing is still working too well for square, recently they forced Taro to write a 6th concert, the next game will be another multi-media work for sure.

no you cant dude, his other games suck dick and im a huge taro cultist. drakengard 2 and 3 are hideous. the first one has interesting ideas but horrific execution. nier 1 is so fucking badly paced and uninteresting- by the time it gets good you'll have slogged through like 10-15 hours.

>>384807816
I wasn't confused? I was saying I want a version of the game as it was intended in the west rather than a gestalt remake

>>384808146
I can't fanthom how fucked up one's standards would need to be to actually consider Automata a bad game, even from a purely gameplay perspective.

The game is perfectly serviceable. It's not fair to hold every action game to the MGR/Bayonetta standards. that was never the intention of Automata. The gameplay feel responsible and is fun, even if a bit too easy to break.

Putting aside drakengard 2, I think that the point is that automata shows very well that he puts in his games his own personal vision through his direction, and in a way that it's tied the vidya medium very well.
There are few vidya directors that actually knows how to do that (Ueda, Suda, Swery, Kojima when he actually had something to tell and say), it's a very peculiar and unique selling point in this market. Obviously if you aren't interested in that playing the Drakengard series isn't exactly the best idea.

>>384808508
He intended for Nier to be Drakengard 3, and he wanted to pretty much destroy Drakengard 2 and the franchise with Nier, hence continuing it from a joke ending in Drakengard 1, in a whole new dimension. It was an attempt to write Drakengard 2 out of the universe by making Nier than canonical successor to DG1

It's also why the real Drakengard 3 was a prequel.

>>384808926
it's tied to* the vidya medium very well.

>>384808326

lmao fucking summer, I hope it ends soon

>>384808326
Your opinion changed nothing. Realize that and apply it to your everyday life. No one gives a shit about you or what you have to say, they only do for those that hold influence.

>>384808484
no, i mean, the game is "great", its a success, it's got everything you'd expect from a modern successful game, it's enjoyable through and through by the majority of players.

the closest thing i'd compare it too would be witcher3, another "great" successful game.

it's just to me they are both equally bad as games. They are both open world pseudo rpgs, ruined by their levelling systems, with tons of filler quests and sidequests, and mediocre combat that seems good on paper but ends up sucking because of execution and "you can't expect players to spent time learning how to play", but nier takes it two steps further with it's completely broken healing system as well as filler shmup sections and forced 2d perspective sections

>>384808484
Very few people call MGR a GREAT game either dude, and I really enjoy it. Action game fans have been really spoiled with DMC, it's hard to beat.

>>384808484

to be fair the hacking in the 9s playthrough gets a little dry by the end but agree 2B/A2 are fine.

i was building socialism with my fellow comrades
but then a proamerican dude came to power and sold our country for 200 000$
a bunch of "liberals" then started selling everything, piece by piece, industries, production, argoculture, banking system and natural resources untill there was almost nothing left, so they could just follow their capitalistic "dream" of getting filthy rich.

now i get to experience capitalism in full power
but you, who doesn't know shit, who only ever saw one side of the medal, how do you fucking dare to speak to me in such maner, you uneducated capitalistic larvae

Drakengard sold pretty well in Japan tho. It was even reprinted because of it.

Depends on the budget for the game, and it was a somewhere between AA-AAA in terms of budget size.
