Dammit, you guys are going to convince me to dust off my HK account to get this today. I'm always a little reluctant to do anything on that account since I get a notification like every other day that someone is trying to hack it.

Game is pretty jank on a normal PS4. In the first ~8 hours I've had two crashes, one infinite load screen, and I had to replay the entire intro due to the preload bug. This in addition to a number of buggy quests and frame flashing, all of which were fixable with a game restart at least. Advise saving at every opportunity to anyone setting out. That said it's very fun and good otherwise. Yoko Taro is pretty much going to make a Yoko Taro game, just with solid Platinum combat instead of hot trash, right down to the inane side quests and grinding weapon upgrade materials and story of pure suffering. Wouldn't have it any other way

I've had none of those issues so far (knock on wood), maybe because the whole thing downloaded before I started playing, or I'm just lucky. Agree that this is very fun, and very Yoko Taro so far. Also, did you know there's no auto save? THERES NO AUTO SAVE

I imagine starting on hard is the way to go if you are a platinum fan first, nier fan second. I recall several interviews saying fans of nier shouldn't be intimidated by platinum making it, so makes me think normal will be kinda a cakewalk.

I take it, this game is good. But as a guy who never was into Platinum's games in general, this a good buy? I mean, I like numbers going up, and that's one of the things I noticed in the OP.

This is coming from my knowledge if the series and the demo, as I haven't played the retail version yet, but I think this hinges in what you mean by never being "into Platinum's games in general." Numbers will go up, but I would recommend playing the demo to see if the action-oriented combat jives with you.

There's still no Steam release date but a trailer mistakenly had a Steam release date of March 10 in it that has since been removed. Hopefully the actual release date won't be too long delayed.

So like, no specific spoilers here, and I'm not very deep into the game yet anyway, and I know this is a crazy thing to say for a Yoko Taro game, but I'm starting to get the feeling that -- just maybe -- we're not ENTIRELY the good guys here. Also the soundtrack to this game is incredible. StarkRavingMad fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Feb 24, 2017 |

But I don't want to buy the PS4 game only to find out PC is coming out like a week later.

Digged what I played so far but I did run into some technical things. First of even though the game claimed to be downloaded I still had odd frame stutters and at some point during the part that was in the demo it slowed my character down and a message popped up mentioning the game downloaded. Then during the first open world section I'd have occasional texture flash in the center screen for no reason. Oh and during a random fight with some mooks on an overpass I did a slam attack that phased me straight through the geometry. When will it allow me to save? I think I need to do an integrity check or whatever it is called on ps4.

it should've asked you if you wanted to save after the intro, and then you should be able to save normally if you're out in the world. is it actually downloaded all the way or just what you need to start it?

Honestly, the thread OP needs to mention to let all 50gig download before you start and then have the title updated tell people to read that.

lets hang out posted:lol you can flash your light at robots to make them upset like it's god hand I was wondering what the taunt button was. There are chips to buff your and their attack by at least 240% when you do it.  Taro and Saito have confirmed they're working on a patch for bugs and stuff already.

I set the download in the morning and when I got home it claimed the entire thing was installed. It's the strangest thing. It did give me a moment to save. It literally informed me it was now possible in the area right after the demo. Now back in the overworld the quick save option is greyed out again. Oh well I'll tinker with it later.

Weird. I also mean it just generally too though, people needs to know. I've been lucky so far and had no issues, but I get stutters when I'm crossing loading boundaries, which is expected.

I recall people saying it is a good idea to read the manual for this game. Is there already one available in english? Might be an idea to link in the op if it exists. So far I could figure out a decent amount of things with experimenting. One of the initial things that tripped me up is how the combo's work in this game. It's not too dissimilar from other games, but some of the details are quite different from say DMC.

I don't believe there is a good manual for skill sets, but you can look at a demo moveset guide like this. It doesn't cover spears or fists, but you can take the inputs, look at their effects and then use these to go forward yourself. The spear and fists don't use massively different inputs. https://polsy.org.uk/play/yt/?vurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7m8A5wcOpQI Polsy'd to help avoid spoilers. Video is from the demo so it won't spoil the game itself beyond the scope of the demo.
