This game is a sequel to the PS3 action/Rpg hybrid NieR. It's designed and directed by the guy who made Revengeance. It looks incredible and is coming out soon

:siren: The demo is now available!!! :siren:

PLAY THE DEMO

-protagonist is a total babe
-huge insane over the top bosses like mgr
-combat is fun and addictive
-game looks and feels incredible

The camera work is incredible. It's so good at seamlessly moving you from play a third person action game to a 3D side scroller to a top-down beat up that it ssometimes disorienting when you spend a lot of time in one and then as you move it pulls you back into third person.

So far you don't parry but executing perfect dodges against the red light cue towards an enemy gives you a special combo but executing it away from something gives you iframes. The customization menus look really deep.

The five minute span where I went from top down beat em up to third person fighting a massive enemy to piloting a motherfucking mobile suit/jet fighter were too intense for this gamer

They did all that stuff in the last Nier but it wasn't handled as smoothly. They also play with genre conventions a lot, like one chapter was all fixed camera angles creepy mansion horror style and another was more like Zelda open plains and stuff. And more wild ones I won't spoil but people who have played know what happens in stuff like the forest of dreams. If automata is that again with better mechanics its a game of the decade contender easy.

i still maintain that the text segment in the second half of nier was the best boss fight of the last generation

this char is good
playing through nier again and man, I don't know exactly what it is and if I tried to nail it down i'd sound like a retard, but its one of the most interesting games ever to me. Taro Yoko is a really cool dude and I'd like to meet him someday

I believe it's on PSNow. If you've got a good connection the service works great

Probably but I'm going to assume given the nature of the game it would be completely fucktarded to do so

Yep.

It'll probably only be 6-8 hours long as usual from them, but it'll be nonstop greatness for as long as it lasts.
