looks like an alright platinum games game.
and i am always in the market for one of those.
certainly looks better than scalebound.
Loved Nier so anything related is in my to play list now. Plan on playing all of the Drakengard games and Nier again just before the game comes out.
Which one?
Look senpai I'm just hype as the next guy, but we're going to run out of things to talk about at some point
>>342827145
middle.
why yes, I suck dicks, ask your dad
Release date?
>>342825948
Can you stop shilling this shitty game?
>>342827294
>shitty
Don't worry. You won't be able to play it anytime soon anyway.
what's the point of the little faggot side character
>>342827247
>implying he has a penis
I'm actually hyped since they announces SO5 for PC. Apparently Square Enix finally thinks like a business and will port this one aswell.
>>342827145
Toobie all day err day
i am a little worried about the enviremental variety after they said the game pretty much entirely takes place in the city ruins
Is there any particular reason they haven't shown off the HUD? I don't think they've shown off any menus at all actually
>>342826569
>people referring to Nier Automata as a "platinum game"
It's that feeling where you know the person is not technically incorrect, but good lord do you want to write a 2000 character post on why what they're saying is wrong.
>>342827953
it means that it will work good technically and have good combat.
it being a platinum game is a bigger bonus than it being a Nier game for me.
Another Nier would be neat as it is, but it being made by platinum just makes it a lot better.
>>342827802
woah we got 10 posts without port begging
>>342827294
Make him. cunt.
Oh wait a sec, you can't do shit.
>>342828120
FUCKING ROASTED.
>>342828106
You clearly don't know what begging is. Might aswell stop shitposting before embarrassing yourself further
op are you gonna make this fucking thread every day? kys
>>342827918
They said the city is effectively like Nier's plains. Remember that Nier also gave us a desert, a seafront, a mountain, a forest, a robotic dungeon, a desert dungeon, and modern city. Automata will be fine.
>>342827921
Because they're showing off how the game looks. HUD comes later.
I just recently fully completed NieR in prep for this
FUCKING TARO
ABSOLUTE MAD MAN
How is he going to top himself with Automata?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nepIkbum2E8
Not nearly as hyped as I should be for a new Nier game. It's weird.
>>342827145

Any other dev would be torn apart by /v/ for the incredible grim darkness featured in these series. What makes Taro the exception?
>>342825948
i dont mind that they made dante a girl its the current year or what ever but why do the swords still float on the back?
i mean wtf are developers that damn lazy they cant put a fucking sheath / scabard in the fucking game ?

It's not necessarily Grimdark. It's more brutal and tragic.

>>342830031
>Any other dev would be torn apart by /v/ for the incredible grim darkness featured in these series. What makes Taro the exception?
Taro made a point that he makes most of his games in a way to justify why you have to murder your way through thousands of people. Games he make tend to have a lot of killing because that's what sells. Taro just made sure it makes sense why you do what you do. In Drakengard, he made the protagonist a psychopath. In Nier, he made the protagonist think he is doing the right thing. It makes perfect sense, and as such the gameplay is merged with the plot. And the darkness of the story is linked to the player's actions and not jut shown in cutscenes.
>>342830031
They're not really grimdark so much as batshit insane.
The escalation of insanity in Drakengard 1 alone is so off the walls that by the time you get Ending E your not even sure if it was all worth it.
Trust me, though, it is.
>>342825948
Do you even need to ask? Easily the MOST anticipated game for me. The last good action game I played was Rising.
>>342825948
>those proportions
DICK STATUS: MUH
>>342827248
i think it's March 2017
Since Taro hates waifus so much, how do you suppose he'll ruin 2B for us?
>>342832673
How did he ruin the other waifus?
>>342832931
Dicks, and murder
>>342833067

>>342833067
I don't see how that ruined them

>>342832931

Literally everyone in that game was insane
>Drakenguard 2
Both girls wanted Nowe's dick. Ruined by proximity to a shitty protag
>Nier
He gave Khaine a dick
>>342832673
Every single important female character in his games is great with perhaps Five being the only exception because she's fucking dumb.
>>342833067
>ruin
So its pretty much guaranteed that thighsbot is going to be a boss, right?
>>342833301
>He gave Kainé a dick
>>342833389
Most likely midboss and then 2nd buddy for the rest of the game and we can most likely play as her
>>342832931

>FuriaeIs actually a degenerate and turns into a disgusting monster
>AriochCrazy ass cannibal
>Kainehaha you were actually fapping to a DUDE all along haha youre fucking gay dude hahaha fucking tricked
>Devola and Popolawere against you all along
Haven't played Drakengard 3 yet but from what I heard the protag is literally a prostitute.
Taro builds up hope, and then he crushes it. He does the same thing with the girls in his stories by making them cute or sexy and then flipping your expectations on their head just as you were starting to see them as potential waifus.
>>342833389
>thighsbot
Who?
>>342833512
fuck i accidentally read devola and popola. please tell me that part isn't the end game. please

>>342834247
It is. Sorry senpai.
>>342834247
it's literally endgame
>>342834328
I didn't want to believe it either man but it's undeniable. You can't keep deluding yourself like this.
>>342825948
>instead of making sheaths work properly let's just make swords hover near the back with MAGIC
it's actually clever
What games do I need to play for this series?
Is there some draken game or something?
>>342834247
The endest of games, you won't understand shit though until your second playthorugh
>>342834548
You don't need to play any of the games, but playing the first Nier would help a lot to understand some deisgns and the world and gameplay elements. Don't get scared off by people saying the gameplay is bad, it's just simple bad not bad at all
>>342834482
>>342834426
>>342834401
awww... i guess it's fine. i can't be mad at that guy. i kind of suspect it already as it started. thanks my dudes
>>342834548
All the games in the "Taroverse" are Drakengard, Nier and Drakengard 3.
The only actually good game here is Nier, I wouldn't bother with the Drakengards unless you're interested in Taro's style and writing.
maybe i will play it couple of years from now when the game is in bargain bins for 15 bucks and the ps4 costs $200, especially considering p5 has a ps3 port.
>>342833512
Kaineis a full blown female with a fat dick pasted on by accident, not a dude.She uses it to fuck a corpse in one of the drama CDs.
Zero WAS a prostitute, then a psycho rapist, and then just a slut. Probably the most cockhungry vidya protagonist of all time, not counting porn games.
>>342834661
Yeah it's kinda obvious actually. It definitely wasn't some big shocking moment for me at least.
>>342834637
>>342835115
Thanks friendos
>>342834328
>fapping to dicks

>>342835115
DoD3 had an awesome final boss though.
I actually hope Plat does something like that with the Opera boss at least.
>>342839591
>taking the bullet
>>342827953
I feel like the only people who say this are people whose experience with "Platinum games" is playing through MGR once.
Nier was exactly the kind of game Plat would make, except the execution was shit because Cavia wasn't up to the task.
As an example:
Hideki Kamiya, much like Yoko Taro, is a fan of old-school shmups.
So he made an entire level in Bayonetta that's literally a clone of Afterburner where you surf on a missile. If enemies get too close to the missile without you shooting them down, the game turns into a 2D-locked side-scrolling beat-em-up while you fight them off the length of the missile.
Plat's actually somewhat infamous for all the genre-switching minigames; TW101 caught a lot of flak for how many were included.
Meanwhile Taro made a game that, despite its shallow combat, featured
>an opening scene that drags on forever through killing like 90 cannon fodder enemies
>air dodge rolls
>a combo hit counter that could get into the 100s
>aim-driven spells
>a heavy emphasis on timing and evasion in boss fights
Nier was absolutely a cuhrayzee game; he even listed God of War as a major inspiration. The problem was, like God of War, the combat wasn't well-tuned.
Taro and Plat make very similar games. The difference is, where Plat nails the execution they can't craft the world/story, and Taro fumbles the execution but the world/story is a masterwork.
I think making "Bayonetta: Written by Yoko Taro" is EXACTLY the sort of thing a Nier sequel always needed to be. People say Nier "wasn't about the combat" but that's just because they look past that weak element to what the game does right, not because Taro didn't WANT the game to have combat as a focus.
>>342839784
I don't think they'll do another rhythm hell until DoD5.
Automata will probably go full touhou at least once though.
>>342841321
Hopefully...
But the opera boss IS music-synced at Taro's insistence.
I'd love to see it do a string of unavoidable attacks that you have to stationary-dodge through with perfect timing like DoD3's ending.
>>342840692
THIS
>>342837980
but that's toobie

>I think making "Bayonetta: Written by Yoko Taro" is EXACTLY the sort of thing a Nier sequel always needed to be.
I don't entirely agree.
With a fast paced game like Bayo or Rising, putting quiet parts like exploring towns or just moving around the map would feel extremely out of place. The combat is so intense, that spending it long parts without action would ruin it.
Nier's gameplay must be slower to fit with the rest of the pace of the narrative and exploration. It's not a cuhrayzee game and it shouldn't try to be.
That being said, an improvement in the combat was absolutely necessary.
>>342842591
Nothing wrong with action games that also has exploration / puzzles
Ninja Gaiden did it just fine
>>342842591
>With a fast paced game like Bayo or Rising, putting quiet parts like exploring towns or just moving around the map would feel extremely out of place.
So... You never played Bayonetta?
Because I sure remember wandering around for hours looking for secret chests, Alfheim portals, Golden LP pieces and Umbran Tear crows tucked away in various hidden corners and secret paths.
TWO > TOOBIE
>>342843159
>>342842753
I'm not saying it's bad or impossible or anything. Just talking specifically about Nier.
>>342842779
I have, and it's one of my favourite games actually. It's a different kind of pause. No pause in Bayonetta is too long unless self-imposed like you mention. Pauses in action games are necessary to give you a break, but the pacing is always moving forward.
Nier had a pacing more similar to that of a JRPG. It's not just the exploration (optional after all), the narrative and level design is also imposing you a slower pacing. A contrast too big between combat and narrative could have a negative impact.
But hey, just speaking hypothetically here. The gameplay shown so far looks beyond perfect.
>>342842135
I could have sworn the novella mentioned her raping the men during her murder/robbery spree, but I just checked and it didn't. Seems I was mistaken, unless it was in some other side material.
>>342842274
>Blind
The game, visuals, and music look great, so I'm def gonna buy it
HOWEVER
I feel like we all know what Yoko Taro's gonna pull
The humans have died long ago, the fight is pointless, and actually, get this, YOU KILLED THE LAST CHANCE OF HUMANITY!
Which is all very well and good, but it become a broken record the fourth time around
>>342827918
They showed off a desert area
>>342830031
Because it's not grimdark.
It's a long lost form of story known as a "tragedy."
>>342844457
Hey I played one of those!
>>342844194
And if we use Nier as reference, I don't think we have to worry about environmental variety. The amount of beautiful different styles that game pulls of in such a small place without looking incoherent is fucking impressive.
>>342844709
I hope we will also get anohter isometric view section
>>342827145
2b all day
Reminder that Yoko Taro wanted to have one of the bosses us Frame-Rate drops as an attack
>>342844981
Considering the player characters are androids I think that would fit. I like the idea as long as the frame drops are steady.
>>342844981
How would that even work?
>Boss drops FPS to 2 frames per second for you
>Can still move around at his FPS
>>342844981
He already used that idea for Drakengard 3.
For every single enemy.
>>342843943
Must been a dream, i do too.
OVERSEXUALITY IS WRONG
I HOPE THEY WILL BAN THIS GAME IN USA
>>342844981
So if it drops half the frames it still runs better than DoD3
An actual 10fps or freeze screen boss that can move while it happens would be great
>>342827294
bumping just for you.
>>342844981
Imagine the shitposting if he slipped that into trailer footage.
>>342825948
I'm so glad that this E3 showed off Nier. I was starting to worry it was just going to be a straight Bayonetta clone
>>342844042
that's what he wants you to think
>>342842135
do you think with her being a sexbot and all, that she came with a "femdom" or "step on dick" option?
>>342844042
Only Nier actually did that though
>>342845483
Clearly it didn't judging by its upcoming sequel. I would assume that there were other pockets of humanity elsewhere that were also part of the Gestalt Project.
>>342845434
That depends anon.
Remember when Nier was an emotional game with a prey good story with multiple endings and twists?
>>342845742
o-on what?
2B is 2cute.
Robots are cute and not evil...
>>342845785
If she was made with it in mind.
>>342845753
Yeah i'm replaying it right now, are you saying this one won't be?
>>342825948
>yfw you realize that it's not gloves or shirt covering her boobs, it just that she has no skin over those parts
>>342845753
Yes, and ?
>>342845802
Hide those pathetic tats better you little girl
>>342845662
Was speaking figuratively, only Nier actually bothered to play the "you killed everyone good" angle.
Drakengard reveled in its madness and Drakengard 3 just did whatever it wanted to.If anything whats getting old is him reusing the same Mother-Son character dynamic we've been seeing since Nier and maybe Drakengard 1. Zero was aready just Kaine without the dick and Mikhail was something like a slightly dumber Emil
>>342843159
You know how is this going to end
>>342845954
>taro ruined all waifu
so let me guest with 2B he gonna smash her face and body around to give us some abomination android thingy under that pretty skin
>>342846374
He's going to run her through astress test.
Guys, I try to watch some drakenguard 3 walkthrough
is that me or the writing in this game is fucking edgy nonsense, or it's just the english dub
>>342846494
Better benchmark her hardware
>>342839591
Is that Sam Lake's long lost cousin?
>>342846374
I'll be disappointed if she doesn't end up looking like the terminator in at least one ending.
Those designs, especially the MC, do unspeakable things to my dick.
This is how it should be done.
>>342846546
it's both. but mostly the localization.
Dont talk shit about my wife, fags
My mom said that a girl like zero will be perfect for me
>>342827145
2B
>>342842274
Not 2B
>>342846848
agree this is now a zero thread
>>342846848
I think that says more about you then anything anon..
>>342846736
this, broken android always give me feels
>>342846816
how was jap version different, I heard they even change zero personality with localization
>>342846815
You can thank Aihiko Yoshida, his chara design is always top notch.
>>342846546
I hope you just want to see how the game is and not being a faggot watching the whole thing. Yes, it's mostly edgy lines and bad sex jokes. The dub makes it even more so. You get used to it eventually. Maybe.
>>342846848
That's alright, I'll go with One if you don't mind.
>I found out yesterday that these cute drawings were made by Taro's wife.
>>342847091
that's pretty much it
stuffed it with extra sex jokes, made her more violent... she was violent already, but more in an irritated/i'd rather be dead already so stop impeding that process kinda way. english version made it come off a lot differently. platt's voice didn't help.
>>342846848
Does your mother hate you?
>>342843159
>>342843303
As much as I resent Cent for fucking up Two's shit, I was kind of put off by how lost he seemed without her.
>>342847430
Explain, please. I don't know that girl.
>>342847317
>That's alright, I'll go with One if you don't mind.
>>342847317
here's more of your waifu for you.
>>342827145
I want 2B with 2B
>>342847387
Is it any better with Jap voices and English subtitles?
I feel sorry for the fools that never played Drakengard 1 for themselves.
You miss out on something special by just watching an LP.
>>342845850
I could see a horror movie being made with this design. Jesus christ.
>>342847317
I got to 4 the stupid ass virgin and cant take it anymore
>>342847538
Make sure to wear a condom, you can't B2 careful
>>342847563
it can't change the text, obviously, but uchida's voice suits zero's actual character more imo.
>>342847497
She's a sex craved insane slut
>>342847574
There're probably tons of people that only watched DoD1,3 and Nier. I don't get it
>>342845850
>>342846374
yes yes she must look similar to this under the human skin
>>342847749
>sex craved insane slut
Sounds perfect desu.
>>342847701
I want to hope for a translation project, but DoD isn't a very well known enough series in the west for that
>>342847764
This is like the only fanbase stupid enough to tell people to NOT play the games.
>>342847764
dod2 sucked? the only good part was manah. and caim coming back for his dragon waifu. nowe was a cuck.
>the robots in the desert has the same capes. masks and weapons as the Masked People from Nier

Why to so many wishes 2B with 2B when A2 is vastly superior looking?
>>342847574
I rented Drakengrad on a total whim way back then.
I don't regret it.
>>342848008
I never said it doesn't. But i usually don't even count it when it comes to Taro games
>>342848123
>claim A2 is better looking than 2B
>post 2B webm
>>342847843
there's a decent hunk of english-subbed jpn playthrough videos on youtube. didn't dig too much when i was watching a few so idk how many there are exactly
and i doubt any fan translation group would go through the trouble of translating full games that already have localizations, even if they're shitty. the obscurity of the dod fandom doesn't help that.

Explain why you fags want to put dick into machine only because it somewhat resemble human?
What do you think this scene was about? Who is the lonely soul being surrounded by big juicy balls?
Are there hot girls in the first Nier or is it just the gay looking dude?
>>342849038

Isn't he amazing.
>>342849513
It's in mans nature to put his dick into things.
>>342849483
no point since i didn't communicate clearly, i was talking about the ingame guy
>>342840692
Platinum and Taro working together really is a dream come true, and it seems like both of them share this view as well.
Maybe even more games from them in the future? Ohhh... Kamiya needs his drinking buddy.

granny taught her not to be ashamed of her dick

Noticed that as well scrolling his tweets, it's true!
>>342850269
Have fun, anon.

This guy gets it.
In all seriousness though, considering how much trouble it gave her socially, I'm sure that if she could, she would've tried to remove it. But I don't think there are many surgeons around that know how to cut dicks.

Looks like 2B with a lot of delicious delicious clothing damage.

I come here with a confession:
I watched a 100% LP of Nier during work, because I really don't have time to play it while at home (or work, for that matter)
My only hope is that you guys can forgive me.
>>342849936
I'd still say it's A2

Its so strange, kamiya is always anal about everything and taro is a shy goofballDid they fug?
>>342851026
I forgive you.
>>342851046
Kamiya isn't really anal, he's actually pretty relaxed, even made that developer playthrough of bayonetta 1.
As a guy that tweets a lot he just has short patience for shit, it's like shitposters, you can spot them instantly and then just ignore or block as is the case in twitter.
>>342851026
Unenviable.
In all honesty you were better off waiting until you would have had the time to actually appreciate it.
>>342851026
should've snuck in a console
>>342851213
he could just ignore them, or block them without making a post saying BLOCKED FUCKING ENGLISH IDIOTS

In fact, I'm almost 100% thats 2B with most of her clothing gone
And as I rewatched the trailer I noticed this, so going in water gets them wet too.Will start the game by getting beaten into a leotard and then finding water to splash into....

He uses twitter to help learn english, he has to read a bunch of stupid bullshit in a foreign language, it's no wonder he gets crabby or replies abruptly. It's probably quite hard work for him to do his english twitter stuff and i think people miss the point when they say he's being a dick.
>>342851026
I'm absolutely livid.
You can only save your soul by 100%ing Drakengard 1.
