Great start
>>342215989
Anyone else bummed that Platinum is making this? They've literally never made a good game.
>>342217547
How times have changed.
>>342217547
Looks good I can't wait to play it on PC.
>>342218174
You're gonna be waiting a while.
>>342215989
got you there boss
>>342215989
Is this supposed to make the game enticing?
What the fuck is with that pop out ? Looks horrible.
>>342219382
it's going to be another unremarkable platinum hack and slash but sonyponies have to shill it so they don't feel so bad
>>342215989
Scalebound looks better

It's a debug mode build
Are those 2 robots and that boy gonna follow you everywhere?

>>342220189
Nah I'd rather have less people in my Taro threads
Should I cancel my preorder? Even star ocean is getting a PC port now and it looks like Square Enix completely abandoned the thought of console exclusives. With PC I'll at least be sure to play it at a constant high framerate.

Feel free to stay out if you haven't touched Drakengard or Nier before and are just a bandwagonning Platinum drone.
>>342221076
Good job. With those kind of posts you'll simply attract even more shitposters. How about you ignore him and shut up?

>>342221076
Honestly its weird to have people in these threads that haven't finished at least one of the games. Each game is difficult in its own way, and I think most of the fans wouldn't have it any other way. We don't want new people to become interested in the series because we know that they will complain and square enix might cave and actually make it easier.Unless taro simply puts in an easy mode difficulty where on that save you cannot change the difficulty and you are locked to one really really bad ending
>>342222360
Taro seems to spend more time posting pictures of food on twitter than working
>>342222360
Is that a true quote?
>>342220692
>it won't feel right on pc
Wat. It'll feel a hell of a lot better on pc.
I'm probably preordering the biggest damn collectors edition available for ps4, but if there's a pc version available I'm buying that copy too and never touching the ps4 version

>>342222360
they weren't particularly difficult. I just hope normies don't.. normiefy it.
>>342222514
Because Yoshida is by far the best artist square has.
>>342222118
No he didn't, he created a pure robot maiden.
>>342219675
Its not popup its parts of destroyed enemies fading away like in moat games.

>>342222407
yes
>>342222406

>>342222619
The bosses for the most part I felt were appropriately challenging. It's the grinding for money to get weapons or doing a particularly inane requirement (which you would have no idea even existed unless you looked at a guide) to unlock a weapon, all of the others are a bit more lax but drakengard really taxes your patience.
i want to put it in
guys I'm so excited.
when yoko taro was a child he saw his friend fall to his death. He laughed.
True story.

Why the FUCK isn't the boss fight trailer on gamersyde in a watchable bitrate.
>>342223615

>>342222360

Preorder cancelled.
>>342223964
Well if that's the case, hes on the path to success
>>342223964
he's the director my friend. that's generally a very involved title. What exactly are you basing this off?
We all know that writing isn't all done by one guy, but it's his directions all the way through. it's not like sawako makes something without yokos approval.
>>342224071
that's not official concept art friend.
>>342222623
Yoshida has his own company now, he's not with Squenix.
>>342215989
Platinum fags the exit is stage right. This is a Yoko Taro game now fuck off and go by Drakengard or Nier
>>342218174
Just like Drakengard3 and Nier run on 60FPS on PC
>>342224586
You can literally emulate drakengard right now on your pc FOR FREE, there's no excuse at this point.

My copy of Nier is finally coming in the mail.
I'm excited to see what it's really like.
>>342225334
OK for a little bit then fucking awesome for a good while then terrible for a long time
>>342225334
Godspeed anon, the combat is a bit clunky but you are in for one hell of a ride
>>342225334
Fuck off.
>>342225435
People say this, but the combat is really one of the best parts of the game. All of those boss fights are killer.
I'm playing Drakengard 1.
I've gotten all endings of Drakengard 3 and Nier, but the weapon collecting in D1 is an absolute nightmare. Is it actually worth it? Any way to speed up the process?
>>342225334
Here, have this.
>>342225623git gudno seriously git gudplay on an emulator and enable speedhacks :3
>>342225556
I dunno, it's only slightly less duller than DoD1's combat and people shit on that a lot.
>>342225623
You should get a good chunk of them by just exploring the levels. Some of them will require you to do ridiculous shit in the expedition mode, for them I suggest using a guide after you get to the point where you need all of the weapons. If you are a badass you can also play the mobile game which has hints about weapon's whereabouts.
Anyone else interpret Ending C as caim probably making it out alive? the ending is very juxtaposed to ending Bs hopelessness.
this is probably the happiest ending from Caims perspective. No curse on him, endless killing
>>342221076
piss off with that shitty attitude. it's good that the game is becoming more popular, it means more sales and more nier games.
>>342226431
ugh, I hate yuri fags that enforce their sinning on every fucking character

Did you know that Taro once got so drunk that he thought it would be a good idea to get naked and run through an orphanage while wearing his Emil mask? The resulting chaos, and following arrest, is what gave him the idea for the boss battle against Four in Drakengard 3.
>>342227359
I honestly finished drakengard like 6 years ago. I remember it being a bit annoying to get used to but I figured it out after dying a few times. Then again I was pretty autistic about leveling up new weapons by just murdering everything in every level by being on the ground and only usingAngelus (yes her name is a spoiler)to kill stragglers. As a result of this though I really disliked fighting theI think they were called golems, but I remember them just being fuckhueg enemies
I might replay it sometime before automata, I also need to go out and buy nier but the nearest gamestop is like 45 minutes away. I would probably be more inclined to finish nier if the friend that told me about nier being related to drakengard didn't spoil literally everything about the game for me.

He was completely motionless except for his “goods”…… It was an undeniably horrible event but it was still kinda funny to have noticed something like that. I remember laughing with the others about it.

what the shit?
>>342228927
Too bad all that shit boils down to "jump+triangle" and Drakengard was "squarex3+triangle" except for the aerial missions(which where the shit) It's about how you play too, I guess but I never tried to look into the gameplay since the game doesn't offer any kind of challenge.

SUCCUMB TO THE DARKNESS
As a Platinum fan and also having played Nier and D3 before, I'm excited to play Nier 2.
I hope the AI partner don't hinder too much of the combat.
By the way, does anyone have a clue about what's the point of that girl?
>>342230812
>I hope the AI partner don't hinder too much of the combat.
how would it hinder combat? most likely they will just be there as eyecandy while you do 99% of the work.

>>342230971
>how would it hinder combat?
See TMNT game by Platinum.

>>342230812
A2 seems to be somehow disillusioned, some people think she's the same girl from the stage play.
>>342231105
They work differently in that one though, the partners in Nier just attack every once in a while when they feel like it.
And tehre's nothing to hinder in the first place, most normal enemies will most likely be for quests and EXP again and the bosses are the ones where you have to actually do something and can at least try combos. If it's like the first Nier, the combat will be there, but it won't be the most challenging and deepest thing ever

>>342232308
Probably not.
Replicant had already developed a personality. And rejoining the Replicant and Gestalt would result in two people in one body basically, from my understanding at least. That's why the people in the Aerie never come outside

Have you considered that 5 hours may be enough for the experience they crafted?
For example, PT is roughly an hr long. Yet it is one of the best horror experiences to date. The perfect length adds to the quality of the experience.

Why does the environment in this game look so soulless and dead? Is that common in games made by nips?

Cavia's never made a good game either but that's not why we like them.
Anything Platinum does will be an improvement.
>>342233712
no, good design. the world is dead, what do you expect?
>>342225334
its great. Some of the sidequests might be fetchquests but if I remember correctly you get better weapons. also, when yo get to the text adventure soldier through it. they were going for something novel and while it didnt quite pan put, its still unique and adds a bit of flavor to the whole.
>>342233487
Because all the humans are long gone and it's just machines and androids fighting over an abandoned world.

>>342233796

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>342234007
They succeeded in creating a bland and uninspired world.
>>342233819
There are humans though.
Apparently there were more projects made in an attempt to survive WCS and one of those involved sending Humana to the moon.
How they survived for over like 5000 years is another question
>>342234046
Nier did nothing wrong, though. Might as well just go back and blame Caim.
>>342234110
it's just floating, and she's leaning over a bit. Makes sense, since it's attached to her back with magnets.
>>342234153
>There are humans
I know but they've abandoned Earth which is why the world feels dead.
>>342234130
That's a world without humans for ya
I wish they'd release more 1440p screenshots for me to use as a wallpaper. Fuck, I'm so glad I own a PS4 for this game.
Deepest lore.
>>342234252
No I mean there are humans on earth in Automata. We've seen a camp.
Though we didn't talk to them so I don't know if they're actually humans or what
>>342224651
They announced ZTD and 999 PC at the same time, probably VLR late.
They'll do the same with nier when they do it
>>342234373
That's the resistance, they're all older models of androids that came to Earth in previous missions.

Nier did nothing right. And his human self, the Shadowlord, is an even bigger case of "did nothing right" than he is.

>>342232936

>Quality experience > quantity experience any day
that's an vague defense line. Vanquish and MGR are pretty close in time but MGR felt really poor and empty in production values.

how is it an immersion breaker if it's justified and addressed in all animations?
>>342233817

>>342234626
>told Yonah that the Lunar Tear could cure her sickness
white lie
>beat the shit out of Weiss causing him to lose his memory
Weiss still chose to help Nier when he regained his memories.
>aggro'd the fuck out of the people at the Aerie which resulted in all of them dying
Honest mistake.
>killed Grimoire Noir so Replicants and Gestalts couldn't be joined
Project Gestalt was already fucked.
>killed off the Shadowlord which resulted in Replicants to start losing their shit
That's wrong. Humans relapsed way before that, the project itself caused this.
>is so obsessive about taking care of Yonah that it basically blinds him
He's a father. What a father-like behavior for a man who's not even a human.
>is so obsessive about killing shades that he starts an outright world war
What world war?
>straight out destroyed the world with the power of love
The man did everything for his daughter and never stopped. Guess having a spine is wrong in the Taroverse.
Any chance this will have multiplayer? Bayo 2's co-op was fun.
>>342235145
>white lie
it made her go to the lost shrine
>>342234926
He means the "weapons floating on the back" thing in general, not in this game because they actually have an excuse for it
>>342235103
>Imagine if Platinum was given more than like a year to put Rising together.
and that's a bullshit defense line putting the blame on Konami. everything platinum has done from MGR onwards apart from B2 is movie tie-in tier. They get paid to make cheap games.
>>342235145
By world war I think he means how in the later half of the game you fight gestalts who weren't beserk and were completely aware of what was going on and why they doned armor
>>342235145
>The man did everything for his daughter and never stopped. Guess having a spine is wrong in the Taroverse.
Given the end results, yes, it is wrong. If Nier and the Shadowlord had learned to just let go things would have turned out a lot better.
how did they make a handsome character on ps2 and then make an ugly one on ps3?
Caim is sexy
>>342235259
Popola/Devola were the ones who told her it grew there after she started asking questions about it.
keikaku, according to, etc
>>342235453
Gestalt Nier was pissed because there was no way to save Yonah from relapsing.
He showed up and stabbed Replicant.
No way would they ever be able to get along.
Chances of this coming to PC?
>>342235453
Do you still think that Project Gestalt would work somehow?
>>342236068

The combat has neat ideas but is handled kinda poorly. I really love what Platinum is doing from what I've seen. I just hope the story and characters are as good as the first.
>>342236505
IMO the games all suffer from "pretty nice models, boring landscape"
The latter kind of lends itself to the nature of all the games, but I'm glad Automata's city/forest area looks a little more cluttered.

It worked in the Aerie. The whole coming out party that Nier ruined by going all Trump about shades, showed that gestalts and replicants could combine and co-exist.
>>342236914
But you said you don't remember the last time they ported something, but they still port FFs
And i don't even care if it comes to PC. If it would come out on PC or WiiU first i'd play it on that

It's not hard to imagine that during those 5 years he lost an eye. It's never implied so you can still call it a shit design and be 100% correct, but there is no other reason to have him drawn that way.
>>342237098
Didn't Taro outright state in an interview that Father Nier injured his eye during the timeskip?
>>342237007
Amazon?
>>342237067
>co-exist
>whole village is fucking crazy
>>342237007
I got my copy from Amazon. I'm almost done with it, it was totally worth the shipping.
>>342237007
Amazon or gamestop.

christ reddit get out

Did you not see how they were acting? Being two people in one body was sending them nuts.
>>342237183
If he did I've never seen it, but hey that's believable.
>>342237254
>village that ostracized kaine for being different
>let's put aside our differences and live in peace!
Emil had absolutely nothing to feel bad about.
>>342223084
He didn't laugh because of his friend falling to death.
He died because he died with a boner.
And I honestly don't know which is worse.

I saw a bunch of people enjoying a festival until Nier started going on about how shades were evil and he wanted to kill him all, then they all started freaking out because they realized that he was the fucking shade grim reaper and they all panicked and became Wendy.
Did you honestly think Nier was the good guy in the situation? Did you pay no attention to that kid who tries to protect his sister?

Dragon Quest Heroes, I am Setsuna and all of their western multiplats.
I'm sure there's more, though.
>>342231895
I was talking about the decisions about target release platforms, anon.
Multiplat development was for 360/ps3 last gen even if it was technically capable of being on PC.
This has changed DRAMATICALLY in the last 2-3 years alone, and it'll never be the same again.
>>342237098
They really should have made it so that he lost it in the fight with the shadowlord before the timeskip. Would have made more sense then just a random design change.
>On one hand I am happy about getting another Nier, one that looks really good
>On the other hand I'm afraid SJWs and tumblrites will latch onto this game and ruin the community yet again
Friendly reminder that had Nier not shown up at the Junk Heap, Jakob would have gone full yandere and cut Gideon's legs off so that his brother could never leave him.
At least since Persona 5 got pushed to 2017 I can justify buying a PS4 and wait another year on top of it.

Little bitches can't handle greek literature without trigger warnings, they can't possible survive more than 5 minutes of a Taro game.
>>342238379
I never got this, none of Taro's games have any progressive messages at all and yet they're popular on tumblr for some reason.
>>342238379
I doubt it. There's already a decently strong crowd of fans on tumblr who would actively fight against normies perverting their yookotaroos.

>a game about accepting a tranny for who she is
ye lmao
>>342238531
DoD/Nier are progressive in the not-SJW-friendly sense--women can be assholes, bad people can do good things, a pedophile is the least vile party member, a girl with a dick dresses in really revealing shit because it makes her more comfortable with her body, a main character is homo but that aspect of him is barely implied and not run into the ground, etc.
>>342238531
>none of Taro's games have any progressive messages at all
Nier is full of them though.

Nice meme
