As far as PC performance goes, was there ever a fix to MGR only playing at 30 fps when in full screen mode? I'd really like to play Automata full screen.

One of the nice things about Nier 1 is its simplicity which makes it easy to play and just enjoy the story. Whereas Nier Automata is more complicated and requires more attention but still has a lot of really poorly designed gameplay stuff.

Once you get further in and have access to more flavours of chips, Automata's as complicated as you want it to be. High % heals on kill and witch time when you can spam dodge without penalty takes all the difficulty out of the game. Early on, and especially on Hard Mode (and obviously any time on V Hard), you definitely need to be on the ball if you don't want to die.

A lot of the plug-ins are random drops. I think there's specific drops from specific enemies, but I recall getting a low tier version of the chip fairly early on.

Pretty certain it's based on the general area you're in rather than specifics. However, I believe cost variance is entirely RNG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL7RcFgy7Zw Why the gently caress is this a thing??? (Drakengard 1, safe from Automata spoilers)

So because I'm grumpy about it I'd just like to say, watch out if you've googled this game at all and go to youtube? I haven't looked up a single automata video because I really want to go in to this blind like a dweeb and what happens when I load up youtube to check up on my susbcriptions? Front and center "NIER AUTOMATA FINAL BOSS" complete with the name, a description in the title and a thumbnail featuring a close up of it. So that's a bit of a bummer. At least the rest of the game will still be a surprise.

Surely the 'true ending' will be satisfying!" basically, gently caress me. I did have alot of of fun with drakengard 1s gameplay tho i'll admit that. changed my mind on warriors games. edit: the fun was far gone by the time i had to get all those god drat weapons though.

I mean if you were going to get the JP version you should have done it a week and a half ago. At this point you might as well wait for the NA release if that's your primary account, especially since it's cheaper. No reason to wait for the PC release if you have a PS4 unless you're super obsessed with graphical fidelity. Nier:A isn't going to be a looker no matter how many pixels they pump in so the 900p(mostly)60 is perfectly serviceable.

Yeah I was only thinking about the JP because Breath of the Wild isn't doing it for me and I've been bored all weekend. Too late now though, as you say. If I order tonight, it'll be playable at 9PM Pacific tomorrow, right?

Anyone know if there's a list anywhere showing off where to get the weapons? I only have a little over half and I've done most of the side quests/all primary endings, so I'm guessing it's esoteric bullshit like fishing in the sewers.

So I suppose I should have asked this before putting down the bones so I can play tomorrow but: how representative did the demo of this game turn out to be? That showed me a straightforward character action game with camera fuckery, some equipment customization and very light exploration elements, but from reading as much as I can here avoiding black bars, I seem to have... er, missed the mark. (And wandered into something more explore-y, which didn't work for me in Breath of the Wild and I don't see working here either.)

Ciaphas posted:So I suppose I should have asked this before putting down the bones so I can play tomorrow but: The demo is the first mission of the game. The game's "dungeons" tend to be that way, more linear stuff. There is most definitely an open world, but the world is much smaller than something on the scale of Zelda, Horizon, or Witcher. Traversal is a lot of fun too, you move with a lot of speed and fluidity with double jumps and air dashes, jumping from rooftop to rooftop is pretty awesome. Make no mistake though, this is an open world RPG with exploration elements. It's just not one to the scale of something like Zelda.

Welp! Oh well, too late to back out now. Thanks for the explanation, maybe the higher octane action-y bits will get this to take better for me than Zelda has.

Also I hope you like replaying battles because there's a huge component of the story. Upgrading weapons is simple as farming mats but nothing insane like MMO can be and won't take hrs of your life away.
