Archer666 posted:Wonder if this means they removed the old DLC outfits, which had Kaine's package on full display. Considering there were reports that it was reduced in size (based on comparisons between cutscenes old and new in trailers), I would say they probably are but maybe they're downplaying the fact entirely? It's really such a minefield of a conversation though, on every side.

I dont have the images on hand because I'm at work, but there was a comparison showing that every character in Nier 1 has the same basic skeleton, and everyone has a bulging crotch, from Nier to Popola. It's probably not supposed to be a "thing". It was a very cheap game.

PC Gamer gave it a 90 in spite of the port complaints which seems to be a pretty good sign.

Yeah, that tweet only highlighted two reviews, which seemed to contradict each other (is the fps capped at 60 or is it not?) and one of which was a 9/10 so i'm not quite ready to throw up my hands and call it garbage just yet. i mean it still could be, but i can still hope

Yoko Taro's message for reviewers on the Square-Enix site went public and I'm not sure if its an accident or intentional but it's hilarious. https://square-enix-games.com/en_GB/news/nier-replicant-dev-message?utm_campaign=devmessage_photo_SQEXSOCIAL quote:ello there everyone, YOKO TARO, Creative Director of NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... here.

Judge Tesla posted:Is he best friends with Square-Enix's CEO or something. Considering he had the Square-Enix CEO appear as an extra boss in one of his games (along with the president of Platinum games) he seems to be a company favorite. I mean, from what little I have heard through the rumour mill about Japanese work culture, going out drinking with your coworkers and bosses seems to be essential, and I mean, just read his spiel about how they should just play frisbee with the Nier replicant rework. He seems like a fun guy to go drinking with and that HAS to count for a lot.

Judge Tesla posted:Is he best friends with Square-Enix's CEO or something. I think that when Cavia went under and he was freelancing, or during the development of that Left 4 Dead clone of his that got canned, he ended up talking to his friend Saito and pitching some stuff to him. Or some other Squeenix employee who had some pull. That eventually turned into them getting him for Automata, which nobody expected to sell as well as it did. It still blows my mind that one of my favorite games ever made, which not a lot of people heard of or cared about, just got a updated re-release by Square loving Enix. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall at the first meeting post-release of Automata when it started making big numbers. I imagine everyone was really confused.

Speaking of, did you know that FFXIV is completely free to play up to level 60 and includes all the content up to Heavensward? That is a good chunk of game if I ever saw one. Never been a better time to give it a shot!

Veotax posted:Eh, decided to put in a refund request on GMG and get the PS4 version instead. Is there any information on whether there are any graphical benefits to PC over PS4 (and whether the PS4, or PS4 Pro in my case, can do consistent 60fps at 4k)? If the PS4 Pro can do 60fps/4k I might go with that version instead of PC, but I'm assuming that my PC should be plenty strong enough to run the PC version well (and I have it plugged into the receiver that goes into my TV, so that's not an issue). Unlucky7 posted:It is about how FFXIV players tend to evangelize about their game. I've been futilely trying to get my friend to play it for a few years now, though I only bug him about it once every 6 months or so. He used to be heavily into FF11 and I don't think he realizes what a modern MMO like FF14 is like since he seems to be under the impression that it would be a huge time sink. For some reason he only plays games or franchises that existed when we were teenagers, with the closest thing to exceptions being stuff like the recent Zelda musou game or FF15.

Never played this originally so gave a quick look at the endings guide to make sure I was covered. Couple things, a question first - if subsequent playthroughs start at the halfway point, is it essential to get all the before halfway weapons on the very first playthrough? Also a note to those wondering if anything was added or changed in the remake there is a new Ending E

Blaziken386 posted:I think there's an opportunity to get weapons you missed from the first half, but not quests? I'm putting a lot of dummy text/periods in the following spoiler to make it unclear if there is added stuff or not, as many might want to be surprised one way or the other I assume. jk no periods just crazy poo poo, "After Ending D deletes your save file, start a new game with a different name. You’ll play normally until the fight against the huge shade in The Aerie where you recruit Kaine. The remainder of the Nier Replicant remake will play out differently with a new story and cutscenes." I haven't played the original game but that sounds like a pretty significant chunk of new content, definitely more than ending D/E in nier A at least? cool stuff.

Nier is such a cool game, my memories of playing it are so strongly tied to a rainy summer in college when I would listen to the soundtrack all the time. I'm so excited for this upgraded version. It was one of those games that expanded what I thought a video game could be.

I wonder if this gives us more in game context for All the wild poo poo that happens between Drakengard ending E and the beginning of Nier. In game they brush by some of the stuff that happens but the text of the game itself never actually spells out just how badly you hosed up humanity by the end of the game unless you seek the knowledge out outside of the game.

Yeah, I'm pumped too. I've been meaning to replay it ever since automata come out, but unfortunately my xbox360's disc drive broke and this game apparently never made it to the digital store. Really happy it's getting a remake, and I hope that after the success of automata, this game gets the audience it deserves. After a few years to think about it, I think I like the original nier better in terms of everything except the combat. Automata was fantastic, but there was something kind of sublime about the original that it never quite reached, so I'm excited to get to see it again.

Fereydun posted:iirc the former CEO of square enix just kept funding games despite literally none of them selling or being good because he thought they were interesting and weird, including making drakengard 3 and nier not phone games Platinum also came to Square Enix about making a Nier game. I think it's one of those things where people inside the industry saw something even when it wasn't connecting with consumers. It's kind of like early One Punch Man. The drawings didn't look conventionally good, but a lot of artists looked at it and went "Oh, wow, there's something here."
