Who else hyped?
Who else hyped?
I need to see more futa robots to get my interest
Is this game having a WW release?
Praying that it is
Releasing on steam Feb 2017
>steam
what about PS4? ;_;
>eyes exposed
COVER UP YOU SLUT!!
Should I play the other one first? I've never played it but the new one looks like something I could really get in to and I'm semi hyped about it although I have little knowledge about it.
Nigga what?
Cant wait
> We'll find out soon enough, as Nier is slated to hit Steam sometime in early 2017. Until then, more information is up at nier-automata.com.
You don't need to play it to get into Automata if you're worried about that. Still, you should consider playing it if you're willing to put up with mediocre gameplay for an interesting experience.
Hyped as hell. Dont know how realistic a febuary release is, but i'm praying.
I fully expect it to be one of my new FGOATs. Very hype.
>early 2017
It could come after February and be considered "early 2017".
If you don't want to be a mindless Platinum secondary, yes you should.
In fact, play Drakengard 1 and 3 since Automata shows signs of DG1's plot.
I really dug the 3d bullet hell aspect that they had in the gameplay trailer. Cautiously excited. Not going to buy before actual reviews though.
>Thinking we'll get the same art as the Japanese version
Keep dreaming
Why do they have high heels?
Why are they dressed like whores?
Why do they have boobs?
Cuz they're futa sex robots duh
Googling something is an easy thing to do
Technically they can't be futa if they're androids, those supposed male plugs are just for jacking into ports for uploads and data linking.
Why not?
>Out in Japan on February 23, 2017.
>in Japan
>stop making characters attractive
This is whats frightening to me
sorry man we cant all be ugly like you
>you will never operate in a unit where that is your commander, those are your logistics support, and those are your infantry.
PC version FUCKING WHEN?
Theres literally nothing else in my life I'm looking forward to.
>that Jojo reference
Hah love it
This, Persona 5, whatever From does next and new Twin Peaks. After that I'm done.
>Story by Yoko Taro
>Gameplay by Platinum Games and MGR director
>Soundtrack by Keiichi Okabe
I still can't believe this game is actually happening.
>2016
>hyping for games
>no Xbox release
Fuck you
I haven't been this hyped for a game in literally a decade.
I am so fucking hyped I can't stand it.
And the best thing is, it's just exclusively from what we've SEEN. None of it is the hype of promise or potential; it's just excitement to play the parts of the game we already know exist. I don't need the game to be more or do more than what we already KNOW it is; but it certainly will be (they aren't gonna show 100% of it in gameplay previews) which means it can only exceed my hype.
I think that's why I'm willing to actually be hyped.
People can't be this stupid.
Literally linked 3 times.
Why do you even own an xbox
Is this a good or bad thing
..?
What do you think?
Overall, I'm super hyped. Only bad thing I've heard so far is the optional (OPTIONAL) "game plays itself" movie mode bullshit. Everything else looks and sounds glorious. Character designs are some of the best I've ever seen in any form of fiction. Animations are fantastic. There's naked robot butts. I'll be shocked if this isn't going to be a 10/10 GOTY.
If I knew I wouldn't have asked
>something optional
>ever being bad
I just don't get how. I think it's a good inclusion; not because I'll use it, but because having it means they can be unafraid to make the game challenging or the mechanics complex and nuanced. There's no "inaccessibly hard" when auto-mode exists; it satisfies the needs of a certain RPG-playing crowd without dumbing the whole thing down
It's a good thing
Noskill shitters should be catered to. Every time there's one of these "innovative" difficulty settings that lower the difficulty to a flat zero, games die a little bit more.
It's a miracle,user.
Should not, even.
You mean "shouldn't" but thats retarded.
We always had easy modes and it is the better choice compared to lowering the scale for EVERYONE like most big titles do.
You are bitching for no good reason.
Okay, whatever, but you do understand that there's an entire GENRE of games where the combat comes down to "is your level higher / gear better than the enemy, because the action sequences play out automatically", right?
That's every JRPG ever. If auto-mode is "catering to shitters", then RPGs should just be abolished as a genre
What does automata even mean ?
>We always had easy modes
We're not talking about an easy mode here. We're talking about a mode where it is literally impossible to lose. A god mode as a difficulty setting. Huge difference there. An easy game is still a game. A game played in god mode is not a game at all.
Don't know about you kid, I always had cheats and god mode too at my disposal.
Auto mode isn't RPG mode. Auto mode is god mode. You can't lose. You literally cannot take damage in that mode.
>au·tom·a·ton
>ôˈtämədən,ôˈtäməˌtän/
>noun
>plural noun: automata
>a moving mechanical device made in imitation of a human being.
>synonyms: robot, android, cyborg, droid, bot "assembly-line automatons"
>a machine that performs a function according to a predetermined set of coded instructions, especially one capable of a range of programmed responses to different circumstances.
There's a massive difference of principle between having god mode as a cheat code and having god mode as a difficulty setting. Having it as a cheat code makes it clear that it's the wrong way to play and you're a worthless pile of shit if you use it. Having it in the options menu implies it's morally okay to use it.
Gameplay looks fucking beast as expected, never played a Drakengard game, should I start emulating right the fuck now or will the story be self contained?
>morally
Are you implying it's immoral to play on auto mode?
Because it is.
You are being retarded, this
>gaming dies a bit
is not an argument.
Theres games out there where you don't have the choice to HAVE gameplay, by your stance - gaming is already fucking dead, so I guess you should move on.
It'll be self contained with a bunch of references and connections for those who suffered through those games, but if anything - you should play Nier, that will be the more prominent connection - if anything.
The story will probably be self-contained. Taro himself even said that you just can go and watch a walkthrough on youtube.
But you should play the games nonetheless, it's a fun experience.
play nier
prepare to feel
Factually inaccurate, but way to spout off about shit you know nothing about!
For your personal edification:
>It can execute attacks and evasive moves, so all you have to do is make sure you’re upgrading your weapons so that it doesn’t encounter problems against higher level enemies.
Seems pretty clear to me.
Even if it WAS God Mode, games have included those since forever, that's a stupid thing to bitch about, especially in a game that's about more than just 100% fighting.
If you play on automode you're either autistic or a "gamer journalist" or "reviewer" usually they go hand in hand. I don't know why you're disputing that.
>bringing morality into an argument about video game difficulty
Please go work in a salt mine for the rest of your life.
Just ignore him, obviously 100% bait
Lucky you the mode only shows up to those who have went into Easy mode, IE the people are are already not looking for a challange.
I'm guessing you must be some hardcore Plat-drone who thinks his supremely challenging git gud combat game is dirtied by letting someone go through it without eh, gitting gud.
>I don't know why you're disputing that.
You're saying that someone playing on this mode is immoral. You're basically calling them evil.
Absolutely it is. The kind of person who plays games with cheats on is a pathetic shitter and should be ashamed. This has always been the case.
They are evil they're fuckin KEKS
Fuckin *KEKS Jesus autocorrect
I was thinking about replaying the first one, but I really don't feel like plugging in my 360 again.
Bullshit, all the DMCs, both Bayos and MGR ALL have an automatic mode. Nobody who actually likes Plat's games would feel that way, he's either a DaS fag or (more likely) just baiting.
Honestly an auto-mode may finally end some bitching about having to do replays to get different branches/endings, as is often the case with Taro's games.
Regardless, I'm happy that someone is so extremely butthurt about this.
I can absolutely find it believable that he did not know that though.
>implying this game's story will be anywhere near as hard hitting and satisfying as the first
Im expecting MGSV 2.0
That's how it was described: a mode that attacks AND defends automatically. Presumably every attack in the game can be avoided (if it can't, the game is shit and designed wrong but Plat has a pretty good track record on that sort of thing), so a mode that evades automatically should logically be invincible. If it's not that, great, that's a relief, but until there's an official confirmation that you do in fact lose auto-fights where you're not sufficiently leveled I have to count it as a mark against the game. Shitters must not be catered to.
Stop belly aching over that damn game
>Shitters must not be catered to.
Yeah, nobody should listen to you.
She's so perfect
>Keiichi Okabe returning
Alright,this is unrelated but I've been planning to replay Drakengard 1.
Does anyone here have a good weapon location guide?
>Theres games out there where you don't have the choice to HAVE gameplay
Those are not games.
Videogames are a human endeavor, and all human endeavors are subject to morality.
To play games properly makes you morally a good person. To play them wrong (or enable such) makes you scum.
You're buying Youmu's (male) game right?
First of all, it's absolutely TRIVIAL to randomize or dumb-down auto mode so that it cannot play perfectly.
Second of all, even if auto mode makes you invincible, you still have to do all the other stuff in the game, like navigating dungeons, solving puzzles, etc., so it's not like it removes all the challenges.
Third, I really REALLY hope Auto Mode DOES literally make you invincible, JUST because it triggers your assburgers. You are the most tryhard fuck I have ever seen.
that's the japanese (PS4) release
>Bullshit, all the DMCs, both Bayos and MGR ALL have an automatic mode.
Do you know what the automatic mode in those games does? Hint: it's not the same thing as Nier 2's automatic mode. It's called the same but it does a completely different thing.
Is there any vague summary of the character's objective?
We don't have the family tragedy to fall back on this time.
>Those are not games.
Millions would disagree, anyway, you are a small small small fucking man for being so mad about a mode most people will never even realize is there, because I'd guess 90% players just hit go on Normal.
Meanwhile I'm sure like 20% of the people who started playing the original Nier quit the game - not because they got their ass beat by a shade because of the lack of auto-mode, but because they failed the fucking fishing quest and dropped it there.
combat =/= game
Theres way more to it than that, you are just a shithead.
But there isnt a more perfect metaphor
A sequel with top notch gameplay but with an unfinished story that left many fans disappointed
.t someone who loves MGSV
We don't know shit about shit user, I'd say theres plenty of hurt in there though.
Also I guess for sentient droids, their squadron or something is as close as you can get to familial relations.
>Second of all, even if auto mode makes you invincible, you still have to do all the other stuff in the game, like navigating dungeons, solving puzzles, etc
Let's not pretend original Nier had any challenge whatsoever other than combat. This isn't going to be fucking Witness, there's not going to be puzzles more complicated than "push box a little bit".
Yeah but it has no place here, Taro has no reason to not finish his game and he is also not a le quirky stupid shit hack that Kojima is.
It's still "catering to shitters" so you should probably be condemning their morality or some shit.
Just go play Dark Souls, this kind of game is not meant for you and you will never understand or appreciate the best action games because all of them are about encouraging players of all skills to have fun and do better. They don't throw up walls of difficulty that only the "worthy" can pass and "git gud" is tryhard faggot meme bullshit.
There was a prequel stage play of a bunch of robots attempting to stop a rogue robot collective.
May be more of the same robot on robot action.
You sound gay as fuck dude
>mfw there's someone on pornhub who looks and dresses like 2B
>Taro
>Not quirky
>Millions would disagree
Millions would be wrong. I'm an actual expert on games. I don't need to listen to opinions of people who think Dear Esther totally qualifies because "You can't defineee a gaaammmmeeee duuuuude".
Hope that being sentient means they have some form of familial chemistry. I want to feel feelings for this inevitable Taro styled tragedy.
>main girl is cute
>sister-in-law's even cuter
What a glorious time to live in.
Weird dick on the dude tho.
