If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
I just want to get NieR done before Persona 5 is out. I'll visit stuff like Horizon this summer.

And literal emotionless Androids are better characters than all of FFXVs cast, female or male.

:yeah:

For all the manpower and cash FFXV cost its characters are cardboard compared to 2B and 9S.

I mean, Noctis and his bros are somewhat decent characters, but Id rather be stuck on a road trip with some androids then humans. 9S would pose philosophical questions about humanity while 2B shops for a t-shirt.

I just started nier last night and am really enjoying it so far, but lol at everyone saying how great the voice acting is. conversational dialogue is all over the place and the awkward pauses are driving me mad. it was very obviously recorded with each voice actor in complete isolation from each other - which is not a big deal with good direction making sure it all fits & flows well but this is super awkward. I know nearly all v/a is done like that, but they key is to make it not super obvious that's how it was done.

The game is incredible but my impressions from the first 3 hours is that it's the worst voice acting of 2017 so far, I don't know what you are all smoking. The script is fantastic though and it's not something i'd even be bringing up if it weren't for all the posts about it.

Most of the praise for voice acting was for original Nier.

But Automata's really isn't bad by any stretch.

I've also been playing Automata in Japanese and 9S and 2B are pretty great, emotional range and all. I love when 2B or 21O reprimand 9S but they.. Can't help but admire his curiosity.

You can't say its the worst voice acting of 2017 when we still have Mass Effect Andromeda coming soon.

You're definitely too early to complain, the voice acting really shines in the third playthrough, imo.

Nier Automata was fantastic. I got it from gamefly, expected to play it for a few hours, send it back and go back to BotW, but I played it through to completion. Not saying it's on the same level as BotW, just that it was good enough to keep me entertained.

I feel bad for not purchasing it, there were a lot of unique things I'll probably never experience in another game.

You should have bought and played Nier a long time ago, it was around $15.

But they didn't know. You can get it in Discount Bins in Germany quite often.

Amazon.de also still has it, but for 30 as well.

I have been looking at my empty Gamefly Q where Nier has kept shifting from "Low Availability" to "Medium Availability" to "Available Now" and back again for the past 48 hours. This is probably the worst it has ever been, they shipped Horizon out to me the day before release!

I guess yeah with a service like this, if you miss the initial wave, especially for games that take a long time to complete, you're probably going to have to wait a while

I was going to gamefly Persona 5 too but I'll probably just buy it at this point since it's a freakishly long game from what I've heard and the non-stop early 2017 deluge of games finally dries up after its release

Also PaRappa the Rapper Remastered is on PSN set for April 4 but there's no sign of Patapon Remastered :argh:

when amazon sells out they contract to a 3rd party and all the prime benefits don't apply anymore since its not sold by amazon. you can't even trade games in until the contract on them is over cause amazon isn't selling it

It's not even in stock now, so not only do I not get the discount, it doesn't even ship for 3 days.

Well that makes it easy for me to resist buying it.

Check again. It is showing the discount for me. Make sure it is not defaulting to a third part. If it is you need to click on the view other sellers link and find the actual Amazon listing. If you choose it from that list the discount won't show up until you checkout.
