this is on sale on Stream right now is the game worth it? how

>how cuhrazy can the gameplay get?
As crazy as any other game by Platinum Games.

>>389535817

The gameplay is extremely solid, but it is an RPG and the story and side quests are where the real worth is.

Not curahzy at all, it's an action RPG. Your equipped chips are more important than skill.

The "Endings" are more like chapters. The story goes on upon reaching Ending E, you get to replay levels as a new character to reach Ending D then you get a choice between endings C and B and Ending A is an extended cutscene that deletes your file.

>>389535817

Nier Automata has Denuvo

So no it's not worth it.

I know this sounds stupid, but you may want to start the game on normal difficulty then switch to Hard mode once the prologue tutorial is over and you're allowed to save. Normal mode is too easy and Hard feels just right EXCEPT for the Tutorial which is unironically the hardest part of the game for fucked up reasons.

>>389535817
There's minimal crazy but the game does everything possible to discourage it in normal gameplay. My GOTY though despite that annoyance. Don't play on Hard it sucks.

>>389535817
It still hasn't been patched on PC. Even the fullscreen resolution bug which probably takes like 5 minutes to fix. The game itself is good though

It's an ARPG, don't buy this game if you expect Bayonetta or DMC.

>>389536006
it's not by platinum games though

>>389536524
It's a joint Squeenix-Platinum project directed by the dude who made Nier.

>>389535817
Don't buy this if you're a dumb secondary faggot who wants to buy it cause it's a platinum game.

>>389536653
>Don't buy this if you're a dumb secondary faggot
You mean, secondary as in people who did not play the original Nier and Drakengard?

>>389536653
I take it from your reaction that there are other games to play first?

>>389535817
Look at 9S, A2, and 2B combo videos on youtube. It doesn't have a style meter to keep the ADHD in check so nobody even tries to do anything creative with the combat.

>>389536608
yeah so i'd say that plaitnum just let them use their engine and helped em with cash and people while yoko was really the maker of it

>>389536713
It's fine if you haven't played Drakengard, but at least play Nier first since Automata has multiple references/callbacks you won't understand or be able to appreciate otherwise.
Plus you won't be able to go back and play Nier after Automata since it pretty much spoilers its major plot points.

>>389536828
fair enough

as crazy as you allow it to be, babies play with slow mo and auto heal

chads play with taunts and counters

>>389536774
>9S
That's the thing, he's so obviously designed to AVOID combat and use hacking instead.

>>389535817
pretty crazy, but it takes a bit to get there since not all combat ability chips are available right off the bat, and you have to hunt down the alternative pod types and pod programs
just don't do what casuals do and use the sword+longsword combo the whole game. that gets super boring fast

>>389535817
Pirate it, don't give the square enix jews money
But its a pretty good game

>>389536895
Don't speak again until you have explored the possibilities foolish ningen.

>>389537002
>Pirate it, don't give the square enix jews money
>not giving Yoko Taro money

Also have fun getting ending E.

"Cuhrazy" is the most overrated shit.

>>389535817
If you're in it for the sexy robot maid booty you'll be disappointed. Spoiler: you'll be playing as the guy 70% of the time.

>>389535817
if i give them money, will they use it to make an actual good new game

>>389536905
But sword long sword is fun :(

>still 40$
get the fuck out of here. It's 15$ game at best.

>>389535817
If you're in for the "cuhrayzee" the you'll be severely dissapointed.
Doesn't matter because the game is disappointing either way.

>>389537127
No.

>>389537127
No, they'll spend it developing more butt simulators

It's Devil May Cry for weeb waifufags with no taste.

>>389537040
you mean ending A, and yeah it's impossible without an internet connection

>>389537060
but it's fun and the word itself works to describe the kind of gameplay you're looking for

>>389536281
Thanks!

>>389537265
It's actually not any of those things and that's why it sucks. Waifushit DMC would be great.

>He doesn't know how to use 9S's heavy attacks!
9S is unironically the strongest character in the entire game.

>>389537369
I do know about it, you pace a combo pausedly like in bayonetta. I'm talking about the gold tanks in the desert that dish out a load of exp and while technically possible to defeat without hacking is strongly unadvisable to do.

>>389537472
Wow there's a few enemies that make up like 1% of the game that are shit to defeat without hacking. Nice argument.
What about the 99% you can one shot with spear throws?

>>389537265
That's Mitsurugi Kamui.

>>389535817
It's great. Don't play it for the cuhrazy though, it's an rpg first and foremost.

>>389535817
it doesn't matter how crazy it can get since they'll jump out of your strings anyway

the only fun part of the combat is crowd controlling but that only happens like five times

>>389537262
I can fund that with a clean conscience.

>>389536871
same could be said about calling it a platinum game when it's clearly not

>>389537472
Gold robots melt against his bracer charge attack spam, especially with a taunt.

>>389537984
The gameplay was done entirely by Platinum. Yoko Taro was the director, and he couldn't stop singing their praises regarding how great it was working with them.

>>389535817
the gameplay is really mediocre.
it's got absolutely nothing on Bayonetta, DMC or even Metal Gear Rising. It's really, really, really not even close to any of them.
Everything else is just alright. The music is alright, the story is pretty good, but it really isn't as incredible as people say it is. Like seriously, it's not even as good as the original. It plays better than the original, but it at the same time is just as repetitive.

It's also still kinda buggy and hasn't been patched since launch.

>>389538052
i imagine it's nice having a bigger budget and polished gameplay, i'm glad he liked it.

>>389537625
Wow, lance/heave sword looks fun
