So I'm trying very hard to avoid spoilers and the like, but has there been any word on the demo hitting steam? I'm waiting for that version (and hoping for a surprise port of the first nier while I'm at it).

I just found out about that sweet as hell limited edition that comes with Nier for the PS4 and I'm incredibly tempted to grab it.  But I want to know if they're going to have a similar bundle for the PC before I do. Why are they so tight lipped about the PC Edition?

mrfishstick posted:A PC release has been confirmed but the exact release date has been a cluster gently caress of mixed messages to the point that at the moment, no one has any idea at all when it's going to release on PC. It's really worrying because I want to get the steam version, but if we're never getting it or if it's like a year delayed or something I'll just buy the PS4 version. But I don't want to buy the PS4 game only to find out PC is coming out like a week later.

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.

So while it installs, quick questions. Hopefully without spoilers. Endings, how many? Anything missable? I know in the first game there were a few quests that if you didn't finish before the time skip, they'd be unfinishable. And for anyone who's started the PC version already; how are the controls? KB+M good or should I just get my gamepad ready?

Defiance Industries posted:I haven't even done a proper genocide yet, are we sure we're playing a Nier sequel? I don't think there are any elves in the robot future. Are we sure this is even a yoko taro game? Anyway, I think I just finished the tutorial? That was pretty rad but my game drops frames pretty hard during the cutscenes with fog effects. The gameplay is 100% fine though, anyone else get that or is it just me? Did not expect devastator though. That was fun.

Rainuwastaken posted:Try fiddling with Steam Big Picture. Apparently Steam supports the PS4 controller, just not Nier itself. I just went with DS4Windows and it works fine. I found the KBM controls super awkward, it wants you to use WSAD and the arrow keys. / is heavy attack but Shift is the light attack. I'm certain you can rebind it as you see fit though, I just went with a gamepad though. buglord posted:What are your specs? Running a GTX1070, i5 6500, 8GB RAM, SSD.

Mazerunner posted:As long as you're mixing in pod fire, pod abilities, weapon combos and dodging things you shouldn't be having trouble, especially with a level 3 weapon, at least I think. My personal tip to anyone using a game pad, if you're like me at least and are way too used to Dark Souls, is to switch dodge to B (or circle) because it's really awkward to fire the pod and dodge at the same time.

So apparently there are people getting super mad that this is, and I quote "A bad port" and I'm just laughing my rear end off at that one because there doesn't seem to be anything really bad about it? Like, even among the other ports people have been complaining about all year, this is probably like the best of the best I've played.

buglord posted:Eh I think its fair to be upset since some of the bugs seem like things that should have never got passed QA. I mean that Borderless Gaming app on GitHub fixed the worst thing. Cutscenes are kinda BS with the limitations. Annoying but not life shattering. No, it's not perfect and it's hard to get a game that works perfectly on 100% of PC set ups. Even non-port games fail at that often. But the game is fine, as a port it's fine especially.

This desert is pretty big. Is there another pod to find here, or like are those plot items? Because I'm just scouring every inch of this place and it's easy to get lost. I found that oasis though and these locked chests are getting on my nerves.

Mazerunner posted:if you already found one in the desert then that's all there is. Nah, I didn't find one in the desert but I guess that means there's one to find? I spent some time oil fishing so back to looking for that I guess. Thanks for telling me though, I kept thinking the locked chests were just missing a skill and so I bought that awful hammer special trying to break them open.

Defiance Industries posted:It's such a letdown compared to the awesome hand word from the first game. I kinda feel that way about a lot of the programs but I'm sure part of that is that you don't get to enjoy the great and powerful Grimoire Weiss explaining that words are sound, sound is blood and blood... IS POWER Yeah I'm super disappointed there's no Dark Fist. Like, if they released Nier spell DLC I would buy it in a heart beat then never use anything but Dark Fist just like I did in the original game. Because you simply can not do better than casting Fist. Oh well, I guess shooting dudes with lasers on a whim will have to do.

Josuke Higashikata posted:Not much gets me misty eyed, but the clear NieR 1 nostalgia pandering parts of Automata got me. They're both wonderful games, even if NieR is more of a flawed gem than Automata is. A few pages back but it reminded me of a question I have if anyone's played the JP version of the game. The Iron Pipe. The story is clearly a reference to Nier, specifically the father version. In Japan did they go with the brother version, or did they reference the father in that one too because it's the superior version?

Manatee Cannon posted:another weapon references brother nier. I forget which tho Neato. Alder posted:For players worried about losing chips it's not too bad once you get 30% item rate up you will be have way too many chips leftover. Also you will end up farming diamond chips at endgame since there's nothing else to do after you clear side quests/secret bosses. What's the deal with diamond chips anyway? Do they just cost less or what? I have a few but I'm hesitant to just fuse them up because if I can get more I might as well just fuse those together to min/max like a nerd.

Quick question about a side quest, the father servo one. So he's level 50 and I can't even dent him. I'm also level 20. Is this just a levels thing, or am I missing something obvious? I can't break his armor, I can't do more than like 10 damage to his legs.

Mindblast posted:You should have noticed his level increasing time, making each attempt take way longer as his hp and defenses increase. Just come back later with a higher level and better weapons/chips. It took longer but it wasn't as hard because I was still actually doing damage. Good to know it's just a levels thing then. Also apparently there's a subquest in the amusement park? Stamp collecting? My friend told me about it but the NPC isn't there.. I think I might have accidentally killed it I guess. Where specifically is the quest giver?

Oxygen Deficiency posted:You have to farm them from the stubby legs machines. It's annoying because the game doesn't exactly tell you to do this, it just says "oh these guys drop them" with no map update. It would've been nice if they indicated they were a rare drop instead of leaving the player wondering if they're doing it wrong. I had to look up a walkthrough. I've been doing that but no luck. Is it any and all subbies in the city? Do I have to progress the plot? Because this is driving me nuts.

Josuke Higashikata posted:I wouldn't say I was really disappointed by weapons not growing, but a little for sure. Some DLC where you get the past protagonist's swords would be awesome. Even though the beast line of weapons and the iron pipe are what Nier is most associated with, he started with a different lovely sword. Being able to get Caim's sword would be cool too.

SHISHKABOB posted:The aesthetic of this game reminds me so much of some old games like Super Mario 64 or Legend of Zelda: OOT. The way things feel so... sparse, but not empty. The buildings in city ruins feel incredibly ominous to me, almost oppressive. And then later in the desert it was like WHOAH. I love the visual design, the City Ruins area reminds me a lot of Tokyo Jungle, another game I loved the visuals of. Also I finally met Emil and I was grinning the whole time, then I found his shop and oh man that fuckin' song
