Is the PC port of this bad for anyone else?

It just is running really poorly for me. And it doesn't seem like THAT graphically intensive a game.

And even just changing stuff like anti-aliasing and shadow quality caused it to lock up for me.

Also I really don't like that alt tab windows the game instead of minimizing it, especially since theres no borderless windowed option

>>171593772
I don't think current Tales fans have been around long enough to be offended by that.

>>171593626
if you liked automata you should try to play the first nier at somepoint. while automata is a good standalone experience, there are some moments that hit really hard if you had played the first.

and as a standalone game nier is incredible in its own right. gameplay isnt the best, but the story is magnificent and potent.

"and to explain the weird shit going on with textures, apparently 1024x1024 for her dress is the highest we're going to get for some arbitrary reason. and plus, platinum is still fucking using DXT, meaning shit gets really bad artifacting. could also have to do that she has a separate map for the velvet look it has - experimenting is actually being done on that."

"And I can see why. Unlike the weapon models which are running pretty standard metalness pbr, 2B can best be described as 'What the fuck even is this' with the exception of detail and ao mask.

Which is really bizarre when you also take into account the normalmaps being dxt compressed in 2017. What the christ are you doing platinum.

So with that said 2B probably is not running metalness; but just to be sure I treated them as if they did."

https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1557100&page=2

What I thought was weird was when you fight the super Emil boos fight and you machine companion identifies it having magical weapons from the old world. But why would the androids have forgotten how to use/make to weapons but still be able to recognize them?

Cause the weapons use high densities of maso from qb and/or angelus and maso itself is almost entirely non-existent at this stage due to the android cleanup effort to make earth habitable by humans.
We've managed to digitize magic to an extent but its nowhere near as potent as straight from the source maso powered shit.

Tl;dr emil is using low-tech shit but its super packed with obscenely powerful magic whereas androids use high-technology piggybacking lowlowlow magic principles to function.

I just wanted to find all the content...

Though the fact that 9S doesn't talk at all and Emil Bike doesn't seem to bring it up afterwards makes me think that it's just a bonus non-canon fight for everyone who wanted him to be a boss.

>>171596395
After watching first unboxing I couldn't care less.

>>171596052
Already out.

>>171596526
I think the figure's actually pretty good. I also got the DoD3 CE, so I might as well continue the trend.

>>171596379
When does it come out?

>>171596419
Reasonable.*

>>171595467
So I don't have a real question for platinum on what they were doing, because I'm pretty sure I've an idea.

My question is "What all did they do to increase performance?"
Any trained eye can see that there was a lot of shortcuts taken in this game, and they were VERY smart with the art direction.

This is somewhat off topic, but that part where you're climbing the tower as A2 and 9S works so well because everything in it is pure fucking white.

>>171596395
Nah, honestly it sucks, I already plan to buy the World Guide and OST so it's the same without figure. Actually I think the World Guide has more stuff than the artbook, so that's cool

>>171596492
There's still around for 65€ here. Still, I didn't even plan to buy a PS4 when the preorder was up, but then I did and what a right choice that was

Which thing did you download? If it;s the fullscreen fix, look in the "oldish" pastebin file. I pasted a convo in there that may be related to what you're seeing.

Will the future of the Nier world be nothing but androids with a few machines or would they manage to clone humans?

What the fuck is this Sarte bullshit? I cant find a definitive answer, everyone just writes "legal reasons" and buries the question. This is retarded. And beeping is fucking annoying.

>>171597112
Drakengard will leak into Nier and we'll have Androids vs Dragons

>>171597202
Sartre's family is just a bunch of dicks and don't want his name used in anything. They sue anyone who tries.

Does the story pick up after ending A? I didn't have the same emotional attachment I had to the story like I did with Nier or dg. The characters just aren't as good. Adam and Eve were really awful. Everyone in Nier was awesome, even the book that followed you. I understand the game is about developing consciousness and character, so I'm hoping it's all towards to where I'm heading

>>171597061

>future of the Nier
Hah, good one.
Yoko Taro doesn't give a crap anymore.

>>171597339
Why do you say that?

>>171597112
They have the genetic info for the gestalts so they COULD make replicants.
Only issue with this is in Nier-verse a replicant without a soul existing somewhere that its paired with won't come out alive. Its not like a clone where it just pops out alive and well and they can't actively make souls/gestalts.

Worst case scenario: they do try replicants and they piggyback off the acquired gestalt info on machine cores/the network then we have the blackscrawl and doublemurder all over again.

Best case scenario: SOMEHOW(apparently this shit is hard) you make an actually diverse clone system and somehow god gives the okay as well on this project so they come out with actual souls though his whole gig is humans are cosmic cancer so you should die so this is almost entirely unlikely.

Tl;dr machines forever since androids recently lost their main resources and places of serious repair.

Doesn't matter. We talk plainly about major events in the game that are mindblowers because they happen out of the blue.
If you get spoiled on that it takes away the emotional impact which is honestly 9/10ths of the games shine.

I've gained nearly ten levels grinding away at them in the desert complex area.

The last quest I have to finish is the reconnaissance one. My unit level is at 93%. Are there easily missable units that are often missed? I have no idea where to look. From what I've read I only need 2 more percents to finish it.

The fishing trophy is extremely simple and I was able to get it by casually fishing 3-5 times whenever I found a new puddle of water.

Upgrading the pods is the only marginally annoying trophy, but even then you can get almost all the materials you need from either quests or vendors, and then you're left with maybe 30 minutes of farming Purified Water max.

It's useless to speculate about anything.

Yoko Taro doesn't even know, he purposefully puts in lots of vague references and unsolved business so that people discuss, but in reality he just wants to keep his options open.

Most Japanese game developers do this. Same applies for Manga, Anime and Novels over there.
Never expect full closure from anything.

I surpass everything in the suggested specs, and yet I'm getting severe framedrops in Nier Automata when I'm running around maps. What's funny is that I don't get those when fighting huge amounts of enemies. I tried lowering a bunch of graphic settings but it made no difference, am I really supposed to play the game in 720p to have actual 60 fps? I have an i7, a gtx980ti 6gb and 32 gigs of ram, that's pretty weird and I can't figure out what's causing it

>>171602492
I never had issues with normal level volume.
Am i just secretly a bat or some shit cause they're soft as all fuck but they're there.
did learning cello and shit as a kid actually benefit me in some way?

So I just killed the Goliath Tank in the Amusement Park but it didn't drop the machine core. What gives?

>>171602715
Probably not.
Do they look the same?
Also, alternatively you could just.. download the rips in the OP. But give Taro your money, too.

>>171602949
'Fix' how? they were seperated to lower the DL size. All the tracks in each folder are the same length so you can make them yourself if you get an audio editing software and drop the vocals on top of one of the songs.

I'm preserving the general.
Come for theories, discussion, lore, etc related to the game.
Go to /v/ where all the other PC's users are, even if it is a circlejerk/dickwaving contest, for PC help as they got it down to a science and they can all brainstorm your issues.
This keeps the general about Nier/Drakengard not about rigs or 300 posts of why said rig is still somehow not working.

>>171603314
Get rid of the patch and just play it windowed if you have to. those are experimental and may not work for your rig. Also turn off AA unless you're using those fixes as well and see if that works with the fullscreen patch.

Do I need any of the stuff that says it can be exchanged for money?

Yeah, Beauvoir and Sartre were pretty scummy people. Existentialism should've died with Camus.

Fuck Beavoir especially since she's the big originator of "feminism is not about personal choice for women, it's about the liberation as a social class. We can't let women be able to make the choice on whether or not they want to be a house wife, because too many women will pick that." She was selfish controlling bitch.

replace commander with emil and it's pretty good

Is there a list of every material and where to find/farm it?

Spoilers for the very beginning of route B

[Spoiler]just started playing as 9S and ive got two questions about his playstyle. First: i heard that he can do heavy attacks when you're holding right trigger but from what i can see the movesets are the same regardless of whether i'm holding it; what am i doing wrong?

Second: his hacking attack has such short range that it's virtually impossible to remote control enemies who are hostile; i have to get close enough that they aggro before i can hit them. Will i eventually be able to boost its range?[/spoiler]

Make emil stop in front of the resistance camp in route c

What do I do after I turn in the information about killing naked guy in the desert? I went to the bunker and the Commander had nothing to say.

Route A.

>>171604256
Agreed

>>171605697
Have you played Nier?

>>171605852
Wander around outside the Desert camp (where Jackass is) or the Resistance camp and you should get your next main quest.

It's been 3 weeks since I beat it, and I'm still wasting time reading Automata related shit.

>>171605968
Yes, i'd play drakengard, but i just can't stomach the combat.

r-revenge for our k-k-k-king

How exactly does 6O know about the Commander's messiness with such detail? Is it because they're robo-lesbian lovers and 2B is just a friend?

No, I'm trying to get along with my life but I just find myself replaying the game again and again.

>>171605697
No. It only gets worse and now that you've had a taste you're gonna be addicted.
Someday he'll make a sequel or prequel and you'll crave that and the emptiness you feel will be worse than it is now.
Someday you'll consume all his media and demand more and feel disenfranchised with life because it'll be some years, if ever, for another game of that caliber to come along.

Just do what i do and stay curled in bed drinking copious amounts of gin througha long ass sippy straw for a few months to decompress.
It won't make the hurt go away but it'll dull the edges.

>>171605808
Ah, does he sell them?

Thanks, should have double-checked.

Are Replicants androids, or are they just human clones? What the hell are they exactly?

>>171606779
Human bodies without souls

>>171606451
Nah. Its whi rejected 6O's proposal cause secretly 6O is a stalker type. She watches you sleep as 2B through your pod.
Its literally her job and designed purpose to obsess over those they care about though so who can blame her.

So... First nier game I've played. Who the fuck are the twins in the resistance camp? Anemone was about to say they were something but never finished

Oh, wait, DoD1 was RELEASED on 9/11.
My bad.

It's a different VA, but man, Japanese Adam sounds like Okabe from Steins;Gate.

>>171606979
Should have played Nier first, shitter.

Keep playing, you'll get a better idea of their backstory.

>>171605732
I'm not sure if it actually works, but I heard you can get a different moveset out of him if you tap sort of slowly instead of mash.

>>171606242
I'll be honest, the combat isn't as unbearable as people make it out to be. It's not good at all, but it's really easy to cheese. Especially if you just spam the jump attack with the heaviest hardest hitting weapon you have to pseudo-jump cancel.

>>171606979
It's explained ingame.

>tfw you finally realize that 60's Jupiter fortune was completely true

>>171607005
On 9/11 2 years later, that is. You should abandon the general while you still have some dignity left
