I think in an interview or back at E3 Yoko Taro said something about the sequel not having any of the same characters. I might be remembering that wrong or maybe it was mistranslated but there you go. Also that trailer is epic.

it seems like its quite a few years later so most of the characters except the skull kid are probably dead

People hated on Neil so hard at launch. I remember a critic failing at the fishing mini game for like 2 weeks so he just wrote about that and gave a bad review lol

As far as being an actioner that's worthy of your time, this is not up to the standard we'd expect. In fact, it's nowhere Nier.

I guess I could understand disliking him during launch, maybe he was being cocky or making the rest of the crew nervous with jokes about the ship blowing up but come on, the man was the first human to walk on the moon.

IGN dinged it for the graphics because IGN has been an onion-style parody site since at least 2002.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

it later turned out he was fishing at the wrong point due to not noticing the quest marker in a totally different place so he quit the game a couple hours in and gave it a butthurt video review

I've never heard of Nier until today, but I love Platinum Games. I 100%ed Bayonetta 2. Definitely going to give this game a shot.

To be fair that was an intentional gag on the game's part (pretty much all the quests gently caress over the player or make them feel bad, and I love that), but it's still loving shameful that it took him so long and still not get it when even my thickest friends only fell for it for like, 20-30 minutes

i liked the first desert quest where it sounds like an easy beginner quest where the guy says "find me....this fruit, that is big and green and striped, I can't figure out its name", you buy it from a nearby vendor thinking "hurr hurr im so smart at games" and the reward is way less than the cost to buy the fruit in the first place

I hope there are still stories in the weapon description and one of them vaguely describes a sickly young girl who succumbed to her rapidly failing health amidst a town that slowly went insane from some unknown affliction.

It'd be nice if Yonah is still alive by the time Automata happens, but that's highly unlikely.
