XxEvil AshxX Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I've always been kinda intrigued by Nier Automata. I never played the first Nier, but I'd heard good things about it and was a bit interested in Automata even though I didn't know much about it. The Become As Gods edition is on sale on Xbox One for $30 so I figured what the hell. If this game would've had a demo, I would've bought it a long time ago. Playing that opening level where the game is switching between being a side-scrolling shooter and an action game felt so good. The controls were tight and responsive, and even though I'd never played the game before, everything just felt familiar. While I did fight the camera a little bit during the boss fight (with the gigantic saw arms taking up the entire screen, I wanted to zoom out cuz it was hard to see where I was) for the most part it wasn't too bad. I had to quit out after the first save point, but I hope the rest of the game holds up like this, because that first mission was a blast.

Nokt Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 By far one of my favorite games of the past couple years. Hacking segments are always fun and the 8/16? bit "remix" of the music is an awesome little twist on those segments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 There was definitely a demo on PS4. It's a little strange that there wouldn't be one on Xbox, but I guess the game had been out for over a year at that point, so maybe they just didn't think it needed one. I need to get back to that game. I really enjoyed it, but only reached the first "ending". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I really need to check this out because I hear nothing but great things about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Great game. I got it last year when it came out and was very pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did some shit to it that made it require way higher specs than was actually needed. Yup, global lighting was FUBAR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokt Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I still oddly never had any issues with the PC version, none that I noticed at least. Though I'd still recommend installing the FAR mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Hey if you think that's bad, certain higher settings on PC would make it so that hacking minigame basically ran at half speed. You would never know it just by playing normally because it didn't actually feel slow, but you eventually ran into hacks that were literally impossible with the time you had.

Keyser_Soze Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I almost pulled the trigger on the steam sale going on (it's like the first time it's been on sale) but decided against it. I'd like to get it when I have time to play it (never ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 For those interested, Dark Horse Comics just released an English-localized version of Nier: Automata World Guide that was released in Japan in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blkm0nk3y92 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I felt the same for the first ~30 hours. But really just couldn't stay into it. I liked the plot, characters, gameplay, setting, just about all of it. But the combat started to feel so repetitive/bland, even the boss fights were boring. I got to the first ending and looked up the rest of the plot because I couldn't enjoy the gameplay anymore, I tried so hard though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Really enjoyed the demo when it came out (yes, PS4), thanks for reminding me to pick this up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massdriver Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I love this game, and I love the story so damn much. It is really innovative and I had quite a few emotional moments, including the ending sequence which was awesome! I always recommend this game. On PC, get the FAR mod.

Rodimus Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I have been thinking about this game. I have such a huge backlog I havn't l=picked it up yet. I think a new version recently was released. I heard you have to beat it twice to really beat it. Kind of like Ghouls and Ghosts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 One of the best stories I've ever played. A truly perfect sequel to Nier (a game I played despite the reviews eviscerating it at the time - it was a lovely game as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second time you beat it, you do so from a different perspective with different mechanics. It's all linked together too in a way. It's part of what makes the experience so unique.
