Every time somebody posts about Nier:A not working for them it just piques my curiosity even more. No experience with the franchise, don't think I've ever played a Platinum game, and I feel like there's at least a one in three or four chance I end up one of those people but... I just gotta find out for myself.

Two years ago when I bought a PS4 (after a console history of hand-me-down NES during the N64 era and then a Wii a few years into its cycle) I was not expecting to find myself with a wishlist of Nier:A, Yakuza 0 and Persona 5, three Japanese franchises I don't think I'd ever even heard of until recently, even ahead of some entries in franchises I like but still haven't gotten around to like UC4 and DS3. I'm just so curious about these games that are getting such strong reactions out of people (and really glad I went PS4 so I could try some poo poo out of my comfort zone).

Play the demo, if its not terrible combat to you, consider getting the game.

But before you do, get Yakuza 0 right away, good god you've never experienced anything like it i promise and its really good. If you got a ps4 to have different experiences then ever before, Bloodborne and Yakuza are top tier unique experiences.

Oh yeah, I did play the demo and liked it while seeing hints of how it could rub some people the wrong way, as far as not being super deep. And Yakuza does absolutely seem like the safest bet. For the last week or so I've been scanning around for somebody to put Y0 or N:A on a decent sale; I know N:A was on PSN not long ago but I prefer physical in general and especially on a potentially risky one, and I had that much more HZD left in front of me at the time. Now I'm making the turn into finishing off the main quest and I'm starting to look for my next game. Definitely want to do those two before P5 cause I know I'll get antsy to try them once I'm in the middle of a 100+ hour game (and I play everything like 50% slower than the numbers everyone quotes).

Nier's gameplay is fine for what it is and its story is well done but very much not for everyone. I thought the final twist was neat, but as someone who didn't enjoy the gameplay it was not at all worth the time it took to get there.

In my case, when people told me "Route A is just the intro, it gets good later," it was terrible advice. The story is backloaded, true. But if someone isn't enjoying Route A enough that they have to ask if the subsequent routes justify the playtime, the answer is almost certainly "no."

I get why some people would love it. It will absolutely be up a lot of people's alley. But by the end of the first Route, you've seen enough to know whether or not you might be one of them.

Holy poo poo I was checking various retailers to see if anybody had N:A disc on sale and the "parental info" tab on Target's page is RAW:

quote:

The primary protagonist, a female android, wears a revealing (and impractical for combat) velvet dress that allows players to see her entire buttocks while climbing ladders and performing acrobatic moves. A male human-like character appears and fights completely in the nude, though he's missing any genitalia.

quote:

Discuss the nature of identity. If you were to lose a leg and have it surgically replaced with someone else's, would the new leg be part of your body? If so, would you be the same person or someone different? What if the replaced part were a section of your brain?

I'm guessing the new Zelda game? Or Persona "Sexual abuse is bad unless it's funny and awesome" 5.

Anyway, I played Bloodborne for about ten hours, telling myself it's going to be fun once "I got it". It wasn't working. So I quit playing. And started playing games I enjoy, like Nier A, the new Hitman (RIP), and Resident Evil 7. Well that's my story.

No. My point was that everyone loses their marbles over a game and makes a bunch of ridiculous claims about how its the best game ever and then within weeks there is multiple other best games. And since it's SA it's always some oddball Japanese game.

Nioh is pretty ok I guess and Neir is memorable if nothing else, but people shoot for the loving moon when they talk about them.

how odd that people who have strong opinions about (relatively) niche games are found here, on a forum about video games.

seriously, though, if anyone is going to ask for recommendations, they should probably always ask for qualifications like "if you like __________, then _____________" or "_____________ is good because _______________" so people get an actual context to work off of. otherwise, don't take your gaming recommendations based only on what people say they like. after all, some people like Sonic '06. but also don't complain about people saying they like games they like.
