What are you looking forward to about Nier Automata? That boss battle pretty much sums up what I want out of the game.

Hopes?
Concerns?

Personally, I hope the music will be up to par with the original game.

I bought Drakengard 3 on a whim recently because I heard the main character described as a nympho rotten meat-eating murder hobo.

Can't play it quite yet because of reasons though.

>Personally, I hope the music will be up to par with the original game.

This is my main concern. Really, I can handle everything else potentaiily being shit but this.

It's a good game user. I just wish the performance wasn't so shitty.

...

this will sound weird, but is anyone worried that nier automata looks too good? part of the charm of these games was how everything looked like shit and was repetitive as fuck

also it will probably not be as dark since we are going mainstream now

The fact that it's an RPG, meaning that numbers will matter more than skill

What?
It's 60 FPS on both PS4 and PC

>Platinum
>solid frame rate on a console

It has Taro, it's going to be kaput somehow, against all odds.

yeah, I'm not a fan of Platinum getting roped into an RPG project.
they are the poster boys for skill > all else and the old nier game looks like the opossite where you just grind all day for dump weapons that 1 shot because arbitrary numbers

the only RPG element tha ever mattered in this series, is how high was your ATK to kill stuff faster

Why does the game need that?

To piss you off.

Takahisa Taura the "Wild Card" has surpassed the entire Platinum Games teams when it comes to action combat. I will only look forward to his games. And the best part about it is that he's young and at Platinum. The future is bright.

NieR shits on Bayonetta, MGR, Korra, Transformers, their entire line up. I can't wait for this!

So wait, the game's release date isn't worldwide?

How fucking long do we have to wait for a localisation?

It has a released date already, what are you talking about!?

Fuck, I didn't mean to reply in that first post. But the 23rd of February release date is just for Japan. We've yet to get news for when it's coming out in the West.

I hope you're right, Platinum haven't been doing much to impress recently, hopefully this game is something unique.

I think the music will be Great, go listen to Garo the Animation's or YuYuYu's osts. MONACA still has it. I just hope the final boss isn't a song for a third time.

Don't worry, it'll be a taiko drum sequence.

I don't think Taro would do that again honestly, he'd want to do something different.

A boss fight with random FPS drops.

OOOH BABY BABY ITS A WILD WORLD

I hope it can top MGR and Bayonetta 2's soundtracks.
Platinum hav such a good fucking record for OSTs.

The final boss will be a 3D bullet hell in space.

I missed Nier originally, is there anyway to play it if I don't have access to last gen consoles? Have they mentioned a rerelease?

the fps drops will be a boss battle mechanic

No to both I'm afraid.

I can see it, Taro would probably make Game Overs turn off your console if he could.

game will be flooded by action faggots bitching about the rpg system

Don't expect the same kind of soundtrack as most Platinum games, it'll sound more similar to the first Nier game.

Rightfully so. It's fucking Platinum and if it isn't a Platinum game that favours skill above all else then why are they working on it?

game will have rpg elements like quests, npcs to talk and you action faggots will bitch about it "where's muh action"

I wish all platinum fanboys would drop dead.

Scalebound is an ARPG too, are you gonna get mad at them making that too?

Although it is sad that all threads will instantly devolve into shitposting like this, I will fucking lap up all the delicious platinumdrone tears with glee.

Aslong as there isn't arbitrary number faggotry and endless breaks of nothing inbetween cuhrayzee action.

He says in a thread about a game thats only known because of Platinum.

It's an RPG, not a straight up action game, so there'll be breaks between the action.

Probably. Then again, it'll probably do its own thing as well. That said, I have faith that Okabe and company wouldn't fail to at the very least make a very decent OST.

I also expect some sort of one/multi-woman wail and choral arragement being part of the soundtrack. Okabe seems to be pretty fond of that musical trope.

>fame
>meaning fucking anything in regards to a fucking Taro game
No one that played his games went in giving a single shit about the gameplay, people just wanted to see how deep the rabbit hole goes, as far as I'm concerned Nier:A could play like absolute shit and I'd still finish 100%.

>neirfans dont want to play video games
jesus christ this is why we need platinum

No, we don't need platinum, tarofriends never needed platinum. This is why I didn't want platinum to work on this, all their name brought with them was cancer.

>Develop a rich open world, crafted with the closest attention to detail, and populated with a diverse set of NPC's and enemy types
>Game is only 5 hours long

T-thanks, Platinum

I thought it was a nice addition. Now there's a Taro game that actually has the possibility of decent gameplay to compliment his batshit insane stories.

Nier is a great game in spite of its clunky mechanics, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still feel like a chore to play at a lot of points

If Automata has the same quality writing, characters, and worldbuilding as the first game just with better gameplay, I'll consider it a huge improvement

They already said in an interview that it'd be overly long and drawn out to satisfy your autism

I can't wait to see Emil again.

Nah, I'll take a return to mediocre gameplay if it means getting rid of platinum and their taint.

It's probably going to be depressing and laced with suffering, m8.

Emil had a hard life.

He will probably not even be the same character anymore.

pornhub.com/users/nikkiwolfe/videos/public

>mfw live action 2B porn is real

I know he may not be the same, considering how long it's been.

I see a lot of hate for P*. What's wrong with Platinum? Yeah sure, some of their fans think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread
>muh hardcore cuhrayzee xD
But aside from some of their fanbase, they make great games with great combat and fully realized aesthetics and worlds.

I bet you'll have to put him down in a boss fight.

They're slowly infiltrating Nier/Drag-On Dragoon threads and corrupting the purity of the discussion that goes on.

Speak not the P*,
Draw not the P*,
Write not the P*,
Sculpt not the P*,
Sing not the P*,
Call not the P*' name.

La la-la La!

I jest. I agree with you at the very least. Most of Platinum's output is solid. Here's hoping they could do Automata justice.

Did you watch any of the gameplay? It just looks like button mashing and spamming the dodge button when something happens, I can't see there being a very high skill ceiling anyway.

...

>muh skill ceiling
>in a taro game

Yeah they said in an interview that the gameplay would be dumbed down compared to platinum's other titles and it would be mostly RPG

No, in a Platinum game. Skill ceiling is VERY important.

Hey, it takes skill to make sense of a fight when the framerate drops to silky smooth single digits.

Nah, it's a taro game, platinum is only there to bait in idiots that don't know what they're getting into.

This is a game. Gameplay is important and Platinum are objectively the best at gameplay.
Nobody is coming to this game for some weird autistic masked developer who makes

Why do Taro fanboys take pride in liking shit gameplay?

Oh man I hope that boss that messes with the games FPS actually happens.

Taro's crazy enough to do it

That is actually exactly what many people are coming to this game for. Gameplay by Platinum is just a bonus.

Is 9S the only male on the station?

Only in your circlejerking Cred Forums threads.
Literally everyone else are asking themselves 'who the fuck is taro, what the fuck is nier and why is it rated so terribly. Platinum deserve better than this'

>Nobody is coming to this game for some weird autistic masked developer who makes

If I hadn't played Nier, I wouldn't have given this game much of a glance 2bh.

>Platinum are objectively the best at gameplay.
Their track record hasn't been that impressive lately.

People are here for taro, but then again, platinum does churn out garbage so they do fit each other.

You don't matter though, hate the game, don't buy it, hell feel free to boycott it, Taro will still somehow make yet another game.

>Platinum deserve better than this
After TMNT no they don't.

You are a minority inside your own circlejerk.
Cuhrayzee is what people want and NieR will only survive by giving it to them.

Only because he's being propped up by Platinum.

>Platinum deserve better than this

>what is Legend of Korra
>what is tmnt
>what is scalebound

Prepeare for the PCuck steam memester flood that will turn the whole series into another meme. Enjoy Drakengard/Nier while you can my friends.

Did someone say Taiko drumming?

youtube.com/watch?v=qaB8xEik488

>Cuhrayzee is what people want and NieR will only survive by giving it to them.
>Taro games
>needing to sell to make sequels
Good one, every game the guy made has been a flop and he still gets more made.

>Implying Cuhrayzee doesn't also only appeal to a minority

I feel like developers don't use FPS drops enough as weird/mindboggling mechanics

Killer is Dead had certain animations play at a lower framerate than Mondo's average movement and it looked cool as fuck

MGR and Bayonetta are extremely well known, highly rated video games that won many peoples GOTY.
Nier is a literally who circlejerk that Platinum clearly felt generous and decided to teach these literal whos a lesson on good game design.

Shut the fuck up retard.

>Cuhrayzee is what people want
You must not like the look of Scalebound then.

Stop taking the bait you dumbasses

They must be repurposed sexbots or something.

>Hopes?
People ignoring shitposters.
>Concerns?
It won't happen.

Is this in the actual game? It's not a hack or anything?

I'm pretty sure it's fan made.

However Yoko Taro is actually married to a woman who worked on the Taiko: Drum Master stuff, but I believe she was just a graphic designer.

So have you faggots even tried to contact her and tell her request a real 2B cosplay or what?

Actually don't do that, because some of you faggots are too creepy and would probably get banned from pornhubs due to abuse or some shit.

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix is a rpg and numbers do not matter more than skill in it. A well balanced action rpg won't have these problems.

Fuck off
Fuck off

>Personally, I hope the music will be up to par with the original game.
With Keiichi Okabe and Emi Evans being involved again it should be.
youtube.com/watch?v=Wzh_kyMp55U

I'm worried they're going to do something stupid like have J'Nique Nicole versions of each Emi Evans song for the US release while they get all Emi Evans.

Drakengard Remaster with a stable framerate when?

PC release when
SFM models when?

Is this the only song they've released so far?

thanks for beta testing.... oh wait.

Its comforting to know that everyone will be playing this when it comes out.

I didn't know robots had allergies.

Any decent action game will be fun enough where it's worth replaying, and presumably it's going to have multiple endings, so you'll be doing that anyways.

Are the weapons from the first Drakengard going to be in Automata given they were in Nier?

I'm curious to know if those would have survived the passage of time.

You can bet your ass the finger is gonna be back.

I'm sure at least some of them will be back. Iron Will/Hymir's at the very least.

>this will sound weird, but is anyone worried that nier automata looks too good?
I guarantee you that if the game turns out to be excellent in every way, with excellent gameplay, a comprehensive and extremely enjoyable story, and music that beats the fuck out of the first Nier, it will be widely loathed because there's nothing else to hate about it.

Doesn't the XBONE have that emulator function that allows 360 games to be played? Nier was on the 360.

>>a thread about a game thats only known because of Platinum.
...really, man?

It only supports certain games, with new ones added periodically, if I understand it correctly.

I don't know, but I've been trying to find a copy of Drakengard to find out myself.

In the weapon description for Dito's spear here:

drakengard.wikia.com/wiki/Sins_of_the_Fallen

It mentions that whoever was writing the journal entries was attempting to draw forth an "Angel".

When they say "Angel" are they referring to the things summoned by the Intoners in Drakengard 3 or the abominations that show up after Manah is killed in the original Drakengard?

Will Emil end up as a boss?

I need to watch them vids all over again. Dude's got a weird dick tho

Who knows but I hope this time the endigs are part of a route and you have to fight Emil at the end of one.

Wouldn't be the first time a protagonist would have been a boss if Drakengard 2 and possibly Drakengard 3 are to be believed.

I don't see why not.

>Drakengard 3
What?

>>Drakengard Remaster with a stable framerate when?
I was actually thinking about this today. It'd be really nice if they released a copy of Drakengard 1 along with Automata just so people can understand what the connection between Nier and DoD is, especially since that one guy has the Watchers insignia and red eyes in the trailer.

Well, shit. Nothing much to be done about that except have patience, I guess.

They're implied to be the same thing.
>>Research Report 2. I refer to calling forth angels from nothing, without a host. This "forced summoning" theory suggests angels exist on a different existential plane.

The "without a host" aspect is big, because Manah was the host in DoD1 and then shit got real after she died.

Well, if you buy into that business about Zero being related to the Grotesquerie Queen, it'd mean she was technically a boss in Drakengard 3 and Drakengard 1 lore wise.

Is it odd if I found Taro Yoko's presentation on how he goes about his literary writing process to be oddly enlightening?

Source?

This:

youtube.com/watch?v=OO_d3fwTNPo

I have such a love hate relationship with Nier. The story/music/cutscenes were so great but the gameplay was just such utter shit.

I did like that NG+ started about 70% of the way through the game but there was so much I only played once and forgot about.

Weren't there a few top down sections in Emil's dungeon?

Yeah. I think they were isometric.

Yeah, most of the dungeon was almost was weird camera angles. Isometric like Diablo, top down like twin-stick shooters, etc...

I saw that. It's super interesting

I like how he pointed out how odd it was that protagonists in games like Dynasty Warriors could hack and slash their way through whole battlefields and then go home afterward as if they didn't just commit mass murder.

>Wasn't a big fan of Drakengard gameplay wise but the fucked up world and design choices I remember most
>Nier is pretty awesome. Combat does it's job and it wasn't as much as a slog like Drakengard. Absolutely loved the soundtrack and characters
>Followed Kamiya and Mikami leaving clover going into Platinum, love their games

>Nier sequel with platinum's development, 60 fps, Taro liking to work with Plat instead of fighting against them.
>Emil skeleton mask interviews
>Yoko Taro still wants to experiment, don't know what the fuck he is going to do after what he did with Nier and Drakengard

I don't know why Nier fans need to be aggressive toward P*. I feel like there is a decent overlap of fans for both developers.

Why is so hard to find Drakengard 1 and 2?

Do you remember when "Ludonarrative Dissonance" was a term being thrown about like a college slut?

He's right. Sometimes story and gameplay can completely disrupt the "atmosphere" that a game forges. The example that everyone loved to bring up was Uncharted. Nathan just fucking mows-down everybody and is still a pompous dickhead, nothing changes.

Taro's wife is the lady that does the art for taiko drum master right?

I am extremely excited about it as a fan of Nier, to the point where I still almost can't believe it is happening.

I hope its really challenging

PC gamers don't deserve to play this series. If these cunts never supported Japanese games when they were on consoles. why the fuck should they be allowed to play them now!

Same. I really like when a director gets to make passion projects. The gaming industry could use more of that.

Like with Suda51. Killer7 and No More Heroes are fantastic games. Say what you want about certain aspects of design, the one thing that cannot be said of these games is that they're homogenized or samey like 80% of what the industry has to offer.

Because this was a niche game and while Platinum does make some good games we always end up being smothered by the rabid fanbase treating them as the most perfect thing, people don't discuss the game itself or what game is about, they keep circle jerking about how great platinum is and when you bring that to a community that enjoyes the story, music and characters and keep screaming about how everyone should be hyped about the gameplay people are goign to be pissed and then of course you have console warriors like this faggot who uses the game as some sort of epeen measuring contest

You can't be serious.

>Play Drakengard 3
>freaking annoying high pitched voice dragon playing in mud and piss

How do you even begin to defend this? If you find this....

He's cute.

This dude is my fucking hero, everytime I hear him talk about writing I feel like I could have a shot to get somewhere as a writer,

what exactly is "cute" about it? you find that annoying voice to be cute? Not to mention his personality. He acts as if he's a spoiled brat. No no, he far worst than that. Even spoiled brats aren't that annoying. I just want him to shut the fuck up, so got damn annoying every time he says something.

mikhail is one of the best characters of the game, made me laugh a lot

It's the kind of character that comes off as super annoying when you're first playing the game, then eventually, as you progress further and further into the game, he grows on you.

I didn't really find him "annoying".

Also, he's literally a child who currently lives with a psychotic ex-prostitute.

>ex-prostitute.

keep going.

His nature is also supposed to compliment Zero's isn't it?

In the Japanese version, she's supposedly motherly and sweet at times with her threatening dialogue towards him isn't she?

Zero was sold to a brothel by her mother at a young age.

I believe so. I haven't really listened to the Japanese version other than maybe the first hour or two, but Zero does sound noticeably less ANGRY than English Zero. I didn't really mind the dub too much, though I think they could've taken her yelling and swearing down a notch.

if you think about its pretty crazy that he still gets to make games

he must have made a pact with something

Taro is my favorite person.

Are the first two games worth playing or should I just watch commentary-less playthroughs? The series sounds neat and I want to at least get some background before jumping into the newer stuff.

This game is good for day 1 pirate

Sucks that you like this game enough to pirate it but aren't willing to support it so that we can get more NieR feat Platinum combat.

There's still 5 months, maybe you can save enough to buy it instead.

As of now, I know of no other game that is a valid candidate for the best game this generation has put out. Automata's looking like it will snatch that position away, nothing looks as good as it does.

Me too, Taro, me too.

Actually, I just want to be "good" with one girl; you don't know how bad I need you, V.

>V

I did not refer to the board, but rather a girl's name. An initial, if you will; her name starts with a "V."

I hope they will release DLC where you play as A2, same as they did with Sam in Revengeance. A2 is CUTE!

9S, 2B, and possibly (they didn't want to outright confirm) A2 are playable.

As someone who only got into DoD through the Nier soundtrack. I want to learn all there is.

Is there a video series I can watch to get all the information? If not I have a PS4, could I get them all on there?

I just really loved Neir's music and I just found out it's part of a series and the entire series has music just like it.

Please help.

I liked english-dub Zero

come at me

>inb4 Pascal will be the third playable character

I played every taro game with the dub
And i think they are all stellar

come at me sub fags

Yeah I played the entire game with nip-nong dialogue and she's a lot more deadpan with most of her banter. It feels less bad-natured at least.

Also Mikhail is fucking a billion times better in Japanese.

Can I play any of the DoD titles on the PS4/3?

1 and 2 are PS2, and 3 is on PS3.

I'm watching a playthrough of Drakengard 1 now. Is that OK? Will I get the lore if I watch it this way?

I just don't want to be confused when Autonoma comes out.

youtube.com/watch?v=m-BDr8LWCxU&list=PLrXlEm4MgsbPMPMcr68aED4UcX209-HLN

Yes, but there are things in the international version that have been censored that you might want to look up afterwards.

Like?

How far in are you?

I have the money, I just don't want to support this piece of shit studio.

>selfie
Let's face it. The game is going 2B A2/10 at best.

>Hopes
Likeable characters and great story
Not too worried about OST and combat though

>Concerns
Western release date no longer early 2017, causing spoilers and shitposting to infest NieR threads once it's out

I want to give A2 a facial.

I just bought the first game on a whim today at gamestop, played a bit got to just after saving daughter from eastern shrine or some shit, not very far. Bretty fun, albeit it looks fucking awful because 480p shit, and they spared no expense at making Papa Nier as ugly as possible. Should I bother with side quests or just do the story of the game?

Well I just finished part 1 of 20-something of the first game but it's late so I'm going to bed.

Holy shit
she's perfect

Any other music that sounds like this?

Well, given he had absolutely no experience with writing and was essentially just made the writer of Drakengard 1 thanks to luck, it's not surprising. Fucker basically had to self-teach himself how to write, and decided that it'd be best to learn himself instead of copying books and movies.

A lot of people feel that developers should hire writers from movies and other media like books, but I wonder if it would actually be best if developers attempted to cultivate writers on video games alone like Yoko was.

i'll tell you after the last part

Do we have the emil remix of the demo gameplay from TGS?

Are you already happy about the fact that her playtime will be the shortest? Also you are most certainly going to brutally killher.

Feel like emulating Drakengard. What's the best way to go about it?

She'll have longer playtime in my dreams so it's ok

Is Drakengard important to play before playing Nier, or can I just play Nier and not be lost?

Is she going to play flute in your dreams?

You can play them in either order

You better not be muting the music nigga. Papa Nier will look better in the second half of the game.

>Should I bother with side quests or just do the story of the game?
It's your first playthrough, do them if you want some money or if you just like to do them for character dialogues. A good number of them can be tedious, so maybe just stick to the main story for now. You can start worrying about doing side quests to get weapons in your following playthroughs.

Why would I mute the music?

>inb4 emil made a robot nier and a robot kaine
>inb4 you destroy them for his very eyes

A surprising amount of people I know do it.

>robot nier
Who's nier?

>he doesn't know about ending E

So the planned demo for 2016 will most likely be a PS4 exclusive, right? Though they did say they've developed Automata in PC from the very start, then ported to console. I hope both platforms get it.
