Why didn't you nerds tell me about this one? What the fuck.

At least post the best video about it

dat music
Is the other guy a 2nd player or just a NPC?
>>341981115
I really love how presentation is half the game for Taro, you really get pumped up before she even descends from the stage.
>>341981398
NPC.
There was a lot of discussion.
I don't like the gameplay but visuals and music are great.
Well, not like I'll ever get to play it anyway.
>>341980876
Also on PC
>>341981719
Good, are you gonna respond to yourself from now on to make it look like there's 'discussion' ?
>>341981529
is he and those small flying robots following you everywhere?
If the final boss for Ending D is another rhythm game like the one from Drakengard and Drakengard 3 I will kill myself.
I know this is a continuation from Nier, but I feel that Taro is enough of a fucking asshole to bring that boss out of the DDO games.
>>341981719
holy shit is it?
dont fuck with my heart anon, i was about to pick a ps4 up

>>341981115
HOLY SHIT MY DICK
This game better come to PC too cause I NEED to play it.
So does this new one have anything to do with the story of the original? I want more cute trap
Maybe I should replay Nier, I did all the endings but I'm struggling to remember what happened
>>341982117
It's not.
>>341982262
Then get a PS4
>>341982308
No I promised myself not to get a cuckstation 4 after they locked online multiplayer behind PS+. That went over the line for me so I'm sticking to PC for now. And possibly Nintendo if they have free multiplayer and a decent console.
>>341982117
See
>>341982232
Sony didn't pay them for exclusivity rights. They paid them to somewhat market it as an exclusive to PS4 without going full on into false advertising territory.
There's many instances of people involved in the project being reluctant to outright confirm it as a PS4 exclusive, including during interviews with the game directors themselves, where they'll say shit like "for now" or "not decided yet".
Literally also on PC.
>>341982481
>implying it's not on Xbone and PS4 only
>>341982448
I'll have spoiled the entire game for you and other PC shitposters by the time it's come to PC if it ever does.
That's what you fucks get for ruining Nier threads.
>>341982652
You can't ruin what's already ruined.
>>341982610

Square Enix puts 99% of everything on PC these days, and has favored the PC over the XO several times (see DQH). You are delusional.

>cuckstation 4
He says while posting about how bad he wants a game hell never play
>>341982782
>playing Nier for the gameplay instead of the story
You really have no clue, do you?
>>341982782
You know nothing about Taro games clearly, and this is a Taro game.
Platinum bandwaggoners are disgusting.
>>341982804
You don't actually care about the game.
If you did you'd support it on its original platform.
>>341982852
this time around gameplay is something to look forward to, don't be dumb
>>341982793
If it was a PS4 exclusive, they'd market it as such. Especially because the point of an exclusivity deal is to pay someone to develop AND market a game exclusively for your platform, which Square isn't doing.
>>341982737
The fuck? What does SCEA have to do with Nier Automata? It's a Square/PG game.
>>341982932
It will still take a back seat to whatever Taro has in mind.
Hope you enjoy the boss he has planned that will make your frame rate drop to single digits
>>341982903
nigger please, I played the fuck out of Nier on PS3. I don't support PS4 because it's not consumer-friendly. Doesn't mean I don't care about the game.I really should stop taking the bait all the time
>>341982852
I didn't give a fuck about the first Nier. I'm only playing this one because it's running on the Metal Gear Rising gameplay engine. I think the gameplay is also being directed by the same dude in PG? (Inaba I think it was). But I'm not sure about that.
>>341982958
There is still nothing at all guaranteeing it will release on PC.
It could be a non-PS4 exclusive (as in, they're allowed to port it to other platforms) but they decide not to.
>>341983046
Don't try and justify your life choices to me.
I know you want it on PC so you can pirate it.
>>341982932
>>341983053
Prepare to be disappointed
Nier is only good for the story
>>341981115
>this fucking music
I think this game has no chance of being shit.
>>341983061
I admit that this is correct. There's no Sony exclusivity deal as evidenced by the lack of "Only on Playstation" label, but they might decide not to port it.
Which I doubt, considering it's a Square game.
>>341983053
Fuck off platinum drone this game isn't for you
>>341982903
>If you did you'd support it on its original platform
Why? I have own all the games in the series(yes, including DoD2), the soundtrack for DoD1 and even the 10th year anniversary box. I'll still buy this game if it comes to PC on PC.
>>341982992
I will, along with the enjoyable gameplay which Platinum will provide. This is the first time Taro's working with competent devs, how about you stop being so bitter.
>>341983135
>hurrr
>>341983135
The first Nier was. But that one didn't have PG or the MGR engine. This Nier is a different game altogether.
>>341983193
>durr
>>341983193
>enjoyable gameplay which Platinum will provide
You do know Platinum has become a shit developer, right?
why the fuck is this game called 'nier'?
that's how we say kidney in dutch
>>341980876
Looks pretty much exactly like MGR, with a loli robot instead of Raiden.
Why does Platinum get away with this?
waifu may cry, looks good, too bad i dont have a ps4
>>341983349
Why would you think anyone cares about Dutch?
Another nier thread gone to shit. Why can't PC faggots go to other shitposting threads
>>341983343
It'll still be the best gameplay in the series.
>>341982232
>Nier: Automata is only confirmed for PS4
somehow you read this as
>CONFIRMED FOR PC 1000%, PS 4 RELEASE CANCELLED
>>341983349
Just accept itkankerflikker
>>341983394
Yeah, slightly better than aggressively mediocre. Great
>>341983367
This is literally the only thing that makes me care about this game.
I'm playing it as a spiritual sequel to Metal Gear Rising's gameplay, and so far everything I've seen tells me this is what it'll be.
My condolences to fans of Nier's gameplay.
>>341983389
PC shitters can't handle the fact that they're missing out on the potential GOTYAY
>>341983421
On a scale from 1 to 10, how buttravaged will you be when the game's page pops up on Steam?
>>341983373
I care
REEEEEEE
>>341983467
It won't be anything like that but keep dreaming
>>341983467
Are all enemies going to look the same?
>>341983525
Every previous Taro game has been on Sony platforms.
If you're a Taro fan you would be set on supporting him ASAP and would know he makes games from Sony platforms.
You're all just bandwaggoning platinum fags.
>>341983525
This is what they call "buyer's remorse".
Honestly I'm glad I jumped off the PS4 ship early enough to minimize my losses.
Remember when PS4 was going to be the best place to play Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Metal Gear Solid GZ and TPP and Tekken 7? It'll only get worse and worse.
>>341981398
I recall them saying this game would have 3 playable characters
>>341983602
No, but don't expect great variety.
>>341983543
>pointing out that it's not remotely close to being confirmed on PC means you must be butthurt about it potentially coming to PC
Why PCfags so insecure?

One of those girls better have a dick or this sequel is automatically a downgrade
>>341983645
I'll support him on the platforms I own. I'm not gonna buy a new platform just for 1 game, however good it may be.
I actually have self-control over my wallet.
>>341983561
>>341983594
You've... You've seen the gameplay, right?
Besides the SHMUP gimmick it looks literally 100% like Metal Gear Rising in all respects that matter to gameplay.
>>341983759
Yes it's clear that you're a bandwagoning fuck since you think Nier was the first game in the series
>>341983793
Girls don't have dicks, anon.
>>341983602
It'll be a recurring motif with these heads as control nodes, and certain enemies use multiple nodes.
And considering okabe and his tweests they're probably more human than you could ever imagine.
>>341981115
The way the boss fight plays out along with the music is really cool, but it's also kind of disappointing in that every single time you play this battle, it will be exactly the same. It's probably the reason the boss shows no reaction to being hit, so it can keep up with the musical cues.

>>341983789
by comparing what we've seen 9S do (which isn't a lot frankly), he does bayonetta style flip-dodges instead of sliding and uses his sword more telepathically. Think of like how Zenyatta shoots his orbs and the arm movements he puts into them, and that's how 9S swings his swords, which embed in mid-air.

what's wrong with horizon?
>>341982786
yeah it's either what the fuck with design or pc shitposter. nier threads used to be comfy
>>341983961
Because they're entirely different games and the events in Drakengard caused Nier to happen?
>>341984214
I'm sure this boss completely ignores that since it's so fucking big, it's like trying to hit the side of a tank, which is why it kind of looks like 2B's attacks aren't doing much.
What will the TWEEST be this time around?
Pic related: Nier story in a nutshell
>>341984278
2B is actually Not 2B.
>>341982101
That probably won't happen but NieR certainly needs its own equivalent of final rhythm boss.
>>341983349
it sounds cool to japs also nier was protag in the first game don't know why the sequel's title has to be nier maybe because it's part of the series
>>341981115
that is such a cool boss design
>>341982610
>xbone
>not also on pc
This is literally no longer a thing

The entire world was fucked anyway even with everyone slaughtering the gestalts.

the twist is there is no twist
>>341982903
>If you did you'd support it on its original platform.
what if you're getting it for Ps4 day one, but you still would like to have it on PC because it's a better platform?
>>341984215
I'm just salty it's not a cave person in a world of actual dinos.
>>341984278
Everyone in NieR was bad and retarded, though. Except for Emil, who was clueless for the most part.
Can someone explain the tree thing in the forest of memories? What was it? I never understood it but it seemed important.
>>341984321
a more hellish shoot em up mini game? why not combine rhythm and shoot em up together? that be overkill
>>341983394
But yoko taro will make segments that are intentionally bad, and one of the final endings will be a rhythm game with an intentionally broken camera.
>>341984482
Maybe but you can't tell me you didn't feel this >>341984278 when you replayed the bosses with the extra context
>>341984278
The robots are the humans.
>>341984482
It's sad that people won't know the importance of one of the twins crying without reading Grimoire Nier
>>341984476
that would make even less sense than robot dinosaurs in a post apocalyptic world
>>341984559
But like all the humans are dead
>>341981115
The concept of this Boss is great, it's a mobile anti-personnel turret that decided it wanted to be an opera singer.
So it cobbled together a dress and a tiara made out of vanquished foes and went to town using it's weapons as stage props
>>341984486
The tree is the replicant system and is what gives birth to replicant babbies.
Like literally when a couple want a baby, Devola and Popola knock them out, go to the tree and bring back a baby in their sleep
>>341981115
dat music
I wish they would re-release the old Drakengard games, I'd play 'em
>>341984565
It's not really sad at all that they shoved a bunch of backstory into a supplemental Japan only source
>>341983862
who even said nier was the first game in the series?
and it is, nier is another series than drakengard, just because they share lore doesn't make it the same series.
>>341983961
Because Drakengard is excellent you fucking pleb.
>>341984559
WE WUZ FACADE N BEEPBOOP
>>341984641
There's humans on the moon actually.
Also these robots in their circular globe heads have pretty highly detailed skulls, including a mouth which can't be used.
>>341980876
We did 5 years ago nigger
>>341984712
Drakengard and Nier share more than lore retard.
The events of Drakengard literally caused Nier to happen
>>341984641
i thought humans are living in the moon
>>341984668
Oh damn
They better not hide half the lore in some stupid jap book this time.
Is Drakengard 3 actually good? I saw it was infested with DLC crap and avoided it
>>341984608
It doesn't have to make sense.
I just want to fight a sabertooth tiger while riding a velociraptor with a stone spear in hand.
>>341984494
It doesn't have to be rhythmic, just something special for NieR. A hard 3D shmup with complex patterns you have to memorize sounds really good.
>>341984920
it was decent.
>>341984920
If you like either Drakengard or Nier you might like it
>>341984913
square enix loves doing that shit
>>341984860
It's also implied that Nier is his own father, becuase of the DLC.
Gestalt (Father)'s DLC has you go through his journal when he was younger, which has you playing in the same model as Brother Nier.
Replicant (Brother)'s DLC is instead written by his father, which has you play as Father Nier.
>>341984214
>>341984097
>>341983884
Come on, the answer is simple.
It's trying its hardest not to show a reaction... for the sake of the show it's putting on. Ignore the haters, y'know? Don't even flinch for 'em. The show must go on.
>>341984739
>There's humans on the moon actually
No. Obviously, those are actually the aliens who sent androids to remove what's left of the old humans: living machines.
>>341980876
Looks like Demon's Souls.

I enjoyed it the music was great but the gameplay kinda sucked. Final boss was really fun.

Brother grows bitter towards Yonah while Father doesn't.
>>341985406
>need to learn japanese to complete the story
what in the fuck
>>341985307
If I want action, I'll play Final Fight or Double Dragon or Contra.
Why the fuck would I play this shit? Looks a bayonetta clone, and I can't stand how fucking casual that series is.
>>341985413
They have the same look in the eyes.
>>341985406
I wished I could have played as brother so I could have some sister/brother incest
>>341985406
Well memed friend.
>>341985060
I wish the fuccboi version looked closer to this in-game and not full retard.
>>341985426
me too. I feel like nier is probably more thought out than papa though. the situations and decisions he seem are more akin to what a teenager would do, not a worldly old man.
>>341985557
Soulsfag please kill yourself
>>341985426
>brother grows bitter
I think you may have misinterpreted something. They stated in an interview that the Father would feel more natural and relatable than Brother because in reality, the odds are high that a real brother would grow bitter towards his sister.
That isn't actually what happened in the game. The dialogue is barely any different at all, which is why Father Nier has that corny power of friendship, we're friends aren't we scene with Kaine in the Aerie, something that feels more natural with Brother Nier.
9S vs Emil, who is cuter?
>>341985668
I can but it won't matter. As a true soulfag I will respawn to the nearest Bonfire.
>>341980876
Shit trailer desu. That's why.
rather play iRacing
>>341985681
I feel like the things papa nier does would be generally more at home with a desperate brother though, he treats yonah irresponsibly, he relies on small handouts rather than having a stable job, and he matures a lot over a few years.
Is this the Dark Souls of Nier games ?
>>341980876
That's a pretty cringey outfit and that music was annoying as shit.
>>341985937

>>341980876
literally what is the point of fighting with swords in 3d space if we have guns?
What the fuck would any of those swords do against an M249? This looks like something only katana-wielding weebs would play.
>>341983467
>My condolences to fans of Nier's gameplay
It's not that they're fans of Nier's gameplay, it's that they're fans of Taro's storytelling. The gameplay will always be second to this fanbase. Many of us suffered through the horrendous gameplay of Drakengard after all, while Nier and Drakengard 3 had salvageable gameplay, at best, and the latter had AGGRESSIVE frame drops while both looked like dog turds, visually.
We've kind of joked about getting Platinum to do the next game's combat so there'd be good gameplay to go with the compelling, strange, dark, sad and disgusting universe Taro's built up, but I think most of us felt it was incredibly unlikely and would probably still play it even if it didn't play well, just for Taro.
So yeah, seeing people come in caring only about the gameplay, with some not caring at all about the story and others being outright flippant or critical towards it, kind of dilutes the niche cult community aspect there was to the fanbase.
>>341983956
Drakengard 3 was somewhat similar to this in many respects. It just had dogshit level design and optimization, and didn't have the Patented Platinum Polish.
>>341986078
He's really shy.
And doesn't want to be the focus of the interview, he wants his game to be the focus.
Ironically by wearing the mask he's bringing attention to himself.
>>341986078
>How does he see?
He doesn't.
>Why is he always wearing it ?
It's funny.
>>341985915
This is the breakout nier, the nier that will make yoko taro a national treasure and make nier one of the chart-toppers. This is the game that will give him even more creative freedom and we will see consistent madman games from him for decades to come, often with hollywood actors. In a hundred years this game will be studied as a milestone by snooty liberal arts students.

I hope you're right about Nier's fans.
Look, I really like the fact that Metal Gear Rising is getting a gameplay "sequel", but if I'm quite honest, I've had to suffer through some of my favorite videogames undergoing gameplay changes to pander to other fanbases and it absolutely ruined them for me. Hopefully it won't be the same for Nier fans... Or Resident Evil fans. Though RE has already been there and back a few times.

he might have anxiety. Heard stories of him locking himself in a closet. He's claimed that the streets of tokyo are safer when he has a game to work on.

I don't know anymore. I'm too poor to buy it just for that.

Oh, please. Drakengard 1 was a heavily watered down musou, Nier was a near-open world action adventure, and Drakengard 3 was closer to a hack 'n' slash god of war game or character action game. Literally every major official Taro entry in the series has gone through a major gameplay shift. We practically expect it at this point, given that Taro seems to have a policy of never making the same game twice.
Drakengard 2 doesn't count because literally Taro's only role was video editing and a few tips on the creative team to make some shit feel like part of the world, visually, or connect it to the previous one. He didn't write or direct it, which is why as part of the series timeline, it has its own, separated branch.
>>341986872
Yeah, it's great.
>>341986872
Can you tell me what kind of life you live? I cant understand why some people have the need to make posts just to get someone reply to them.
>>341986872
Yes it is

That's because it is, the soundtrack is going to be great.

I'm not trying to make fun of you. I honestly have no idea about anything Nier or Drakengard related. Just legitimately hoping that the new Nier caters to its fans as much as its fans want.

Nah.
>>341987375
As long as this guys in charge it'll be fine.
>>341987375
taro has never catered to his fans, don't worry senpai
>>341987065
Generic as fuck. As expected from the Halo games.
>>341987101
Try Yuuki Yuuna OST. Also Okabe, with more chanting.

I really hope taro drives the bullshit full force without being neutered at all, I want the people that come for platinum to get outraged at rhythm games and text adventures.
I just honestly fear that taro won't get away with as much as he used to.
>>341987746
>outraged
I come for Platinum. If the game is not to my tastes I will simply ignore it.
As long as Taro fans like it, it's okay.
>>341987065
Epic bro... simply epic.
>>341988007
Nah you don't get it m8.
It'll snare you in until you're really into it, that's when it pulls the bullshit.

You've got issues, my man.
That's pretty cool.
>>341987375
I never implied as much. I was just informing you that the genre shift isn't an issue for us, but having Platinum fans come in and deride the story might be, is all. Thanks for the concern though.
If you have any curiosity about the type of story we're expecting at all, I'll give you a quick rundown.
In Drakengard you play as an absolute psychopath soldier nobleman life-bonded to an incredibly jaded and cynical, misanthropic dragon that constantly shits on Humanity, and said soldier's sister is a "seal" on the world, keeping the true form of the world at bay with the aid of three other seals supporting her. Along the way, you enlist companions such as: An incredibly racist priest, a mind-broken and barren cannibalistic elf with a strange fixation on children, a blind literal pedophile, and a child that is incapable of growing older.
Shit gets fucked up. Bad. Real bad. Time has no meaning, and every ending in the game gets progressively worse. I mean it. Literally every single time you reach another ending, it actually gets worse.
Coming hot off the fifth ending, Nier takes place in another world and is a much calmer and somewhat marginally less fucked up game than its predecessor, but becomes a lot more sad once you start putting the pieces together with each ending following the first. Basically you play as a father taking odd jobs around the town, protecting people, gathering herbs, and so on, in order to pay for medicine to help his daughter who suffers from some kind of magical malady where runic letters spread across her body, causing immense pain. Along your journey, you come across an INCREDIBLY sassy floating book, a literal futanari, and a blind kid with immense magical powers.
Shit gets fucked up. Bad. Real bad.
Then Drakengard 3. You play as a woman trying to commit fratricide and steal all her sisters' manbitches. Shit gets fucked up. Bad. Real bad.

>>341988007
and I didn't mean to imply that platinum fans aren't welcome, I just meant that platinum fans would be the least prepared.
>>341988202
Yessss, I remember this. Good shit.
I actually can't listen to the original version anymore because I keep expecting to hear the drums. It works too well.
>>341980876

It's also pretty ironic that you're using the word cuck when it's you who's being cucked by games he wants to play but can't. How did you not even think of that before posting? Oh my...
>>341986890
So much lore
Wish I could experience it all and maybe comprehend it
Will A2 be a rival character?
>>341982306
He has social anxiety and hates doing interviews where his face is shown. He does them with the Emil helmet because he loves his fans and is willing to step out of his comfort zone for them.
I claim both yoko taro and caim for my husbando harem.
>>341988578
cool, glad you could come famalampai
>>341988252
The screencap is a bit exaggerated but still sums up Drakengard well.
>>341988706
A2 will be a HIPS character. 2B will be a THIGHS character.
9S will be a CUTE character.
>>341988578
Good
So Caim is Red Eye right?
Drakengard 1/2 PS4 port when?
>>341981115
Why are the boss's attacks so telegraphed and slow?
Who the fuck designed this? Is this a game for babies?

>>341988761
I hate this screencap and would like to see it retired.
>terrible music
the fuck is wrong with them?
I unironically think it has the best music in the entire mythos of drakengard/nier, it's just not COMFORTABLE music.
And it's not even true for most part.
>>341984278
Humanity and the aliens have gone extinct. There's no reason that this war should be going on at all and is only being continued because the machines have no idea what else they are suppose to do without the humans or aliens giving them orders.
>>341988706
>>341988821
HIPS vs THIGHS, who would win?
>>341988930
Who wrote this? Sounds like a shitty generic anime plot like holy fuck japs can't write to save their lives.
You guys read Thou Shalt Not Die?
>>341986890
So they made a sequel and wouldn't let him work on it more? Pretty lame desu
