The ship battles are cool, but it's still a bad assassin's creed game. The only reason why it was so well received was because it came out on the PS4 before it had anything good.

Also because it was better than 3

The problem I had was that the game would only display one prompt at a time, so when 9S stepped in front of the chest I only accidentally talked to him about a handful of times, but most other times it happened I would have to move and rotate the camera to get the chest prompt again

I hit the 9S thing a couple of times, but far more often I'd run up to a chest, overshoot, have 2B step over the chest to the side where you don't get the prompt, and spend far too long trying to step back over the chest and into the activation zone.

It's all academic though because I got all 5 endings now and I'll never go back and plat it because war is pointless and so is all of existence really.

Nier isn't "platinum style", really. Their touch is only really visible in the signature just-in-time dodge mechanic, and in movement in general not feeling stiff and clunky the way a lot of other Japanese games do. It plays absolutely nothing like their hardcore brawlers.

Only because at the time they were Clover and had not yet achieved their final form.

NGB was absolutely the best brawler of that generation but none of the 360-era NG games lived up to it.

It should be simple to make good VR games- take any of the good "experiences" and make them 8+ hours long instead of 1-2. Or identify AAA games that are going to get made anyway but could be compatible with VR and give them VR modes.

Even if it's not the full game, value-add VR stuff like Tomb Raider did would make the device a lot more attractive.

They aren't really comparable. Nier is an RPG with surprisingly unsucky controls, a bleak wrenching story, and minimalist artsy graphics. Bayonetta is a brawler with near-perfect controls, an over-the-top batshit story, and a visual style that's a 3D animated version of that poo poo gently caress drat gif.

You're in for a treat, the PS3 version was garbage.

I have 2 copies of Bayonetta but one of them came free with B2 so I don't think that counts as double dipping.

So why did Nintendo decide to finance a niche sequel that broadly goes against their usual child friendly library?

Because it was really funny to play it on the demo station they set up in the Nintendo World Store and realize that blood and subtitled expletives and Bayonetta's rear end are flying all over a 50" tv surrounded by a crowd of children.

The PSVR will give you access to the best versions of RE7 and Rez Infinite, as well as a decent library by now of 1-2 hour "experiences", plus 3D Blu-Ray watching. I'm not sure I'd say it's worth $400 if you have no prior interest in virtual reality, especially since the dollar per hour of content for it isn't good, but if you do it's worth it for those first two games alone.

There is no official PC compatibility but there's a third party PC driver that probably works.

To play devil's advocate, a lot of people said they didn't care about HD either at a similar point in that technology's lifecycle.

HD took off when HD content took off, but it's hard to see how this will be a part of MS's Scorpio strategy with PC cross-play in the picture.
