Nier vs Horizon

Ok Sup Forums, my gf will buy me one of these 2 games for my birthday but need to choose one for tomorrow.
I played the Nier game from ps3 a while ago(years) but didnt bother to get all the endings and never played the drakengard saga.

There are people shitting on Horizon now but most of the time Sup Forums shit on every new game.

Which should I pick? I really need your advice in this one.

Nier you stupid faggot.

Nier. But in all honesty just ask her which one she prefer.

Nier looks way more fun imo

Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

that fact that this is a hard decision for you already confirms you have shit taste and will probably just enjoy whatever shit is shoveled infront of you so it does not matter which you get either way
nier you fucking dumdum

nIER and have her watch when you take ass shots of toobie

She likes the idea of girl heroines in both games.

just get a switch and BoTW

I'm sure someone will spoil the entire game by tomorrow, so we'll see if it's truly better than Horizon. I'd say hold off until tomorrow. If not, then probably Nier anyway.

Nier looks more promising but Horizon looks very nice too in my opinion. If you're a fag like me you'll tell her to get the one she'd enjoying watching you play more.

Nier. what the fuck are you doing even considering Horizon?

Horizon will have longer play time, better story, better graphics, more variety, and deeper combat which requires gathering good weaponry and elemental ammo and requires knowing and using your environment

Nier for mind blow story and the fun when beat the shit out of lil guys like Dynasty warrior from Koei - Horizon for thirlling moments when take down a beast - your choice and please don't care about review

I'd easily go Nier.

I'm buying both, but Nier will be guaranteed to have good combat at a minimum (Platinum Studio), and will likely have a bizzare but satisfying story-arc (Yoko Weird shit Taro).

Horizon is a very big possibility to be pretty bad. It's been hyped to insane levels and is likely a middle-tier Ubisoft open world theme park design meme game. I still think it'll be fun.

I bet both are pretty much 'worth playing', but Nier will be above and beyond the better game if you have any form of taste.

Nier

its hard since I wont have both till next month cause of my family actually taking care of my sick father now and my brothers and I are paying for his treatment and meds.

I will, but not at launch =(

remind me why Sup Forums is shitting on horizon? And plz not sjw excuses.

Honestly bro just get horizon, nier is way to shallow gameplay wise a lack luster open world for no reason it looks so painfully blind stylistically.

The combat is fast paced, super easy and satisfying but I honestly don't think it'll last as long as horizon, horizons undeniably the meatier game here is go with that if I where you.

I'm getting both, tax returns baby!

This

Fuck waifu jap bait

Nier, horizon looks like hot garbage, and I say that as someone who was interested in playing it.

Horizon. Has a unique twist to it's combat, and robo dinos.

Wait for both games to have reviews. Never pre order.

>my gf will buy me one of these 2 games for my birthday

You mean your mom, faggot?

I'd go with NieR if I was you, but that's just me. Gameplay from Horizon seems kinda meh and all the forced SJW bullshit puts me off it.

>robo dinos.
>he feel for the marketing

enjoy shooting nothing but humans for 20 hours
even the final boss is a human

>my gf

>horrible animation
>stripped down MonHun combat without melee, air, and with a rope pulling your hand
>Far Cry open world
It's pretty much a "current trend" game, taking what's popular and slap them together

Nier all the way. Or tell her to wait 2 months and get you both of them due to obvious price drops

>and all the forced SJW bullshit puts me off it.
could you elaborate? Im out of the loop on this game

jump from a bridge $witch $hill Breath of the Fart inhaler.

Horizon will most likely be QTE garbage. Nier looks like an actual game.

I wish user, I wish she was still alive.

Sounds better than juggling robots by mashing square for 8 hours

Neither. If you had to choose avoid the 6/10 meme weeb game.
>the people saying "wait for reviews" thinking Taro has a chance at creating a somewhat decent game
His most praised work could've been made in a fourth year undergrad CE/CS course

Sorry to hear that user, she's in a better place

They completely go out of the way to make all of Aloy's friends female or of color. Kinda emphasize how the black and brown people are the good guys, women can do no wrong, and the white man is evil. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with diversity, it just seems too forced. Like they did it just to do it. I'm brown myself so it's not a racist thing just keep that shit out of my videogames.

>How is Horizon SJW Pandering?

Essentially, the game openly pushes open borders, strong independent females being dominant in every role in society, and white men being villainous evil cunts.

Almost all the male characters are subservient, literally cuckolds, blatantly immoral, or completely insensitive assholes. All the female characters are strong, independent powerful womyn, mostly of colour or muslim (see: burkas), creating a better world from the ashes of male leadership.

This is the framework of the game's narrative.

It isn't being overstated, and it isn't a subtle agenda.

NieR all the way

Man I wish my mom would buy me games for my birthday too

Do you want the one with a good story about battling giant robots with a robot girl or do you want the one with the bad story about battling giant robots with a robot girl + mediocre gameplay?

OP here

This is what i got from you.

NieR
>Waifu bait (gf actually dont care about the pantyshots)
>square smashing (isnt the same with both games?)
>good combat system (cant remember much but the Nier I played didnt have a good combat system at all but i guess the studio improved it with this new game).

Horizon
>Fighting more humans than robots (Saw the trailer weeks ago and actually i liked it because of the idea of hunting and crushing metal dinos. Ofc i expected fighting humans in the game but I guess it feels like false advertising).
>Good combat system (the only thing i found stupid is how the character slides without affecting the accuracy).
>SJW pandering - i dont mind playing a game with matriarchy on top, but as you make it sound, the story seems to be a weak point in the game.

Thanks user. i have a stepmom now but neither me or my brother talk too much with her specially when shes actually younger than me (dad is 58 y/o, I am 32 and shes 26 y/o).

Well, you guys made Nier sounds like a solid choice. so i guess Nier will be the game.

I want a Kass dating simulator game

Nier
We've seen more than enough of it to tell that it isn't shit.

>Button mashing
There's a clear difference between GoW button mashing and DMC/Bayonetta. Nier is between the two, but closer to the latter

The right decision.

Although i'd suggest you get both because why not. Robots are fun to kill with robots.

>isnt the same with both games?

No

Nier needs to smash more than 1 button to combo. Not a problem if you played the old games or your tipical hack and slash.

Horizon is a mix of FPS with bow and actual square smashing.

Nier
>Waifu bait (gf actually dont care about the pantyshots)
You can play as the little boy too. i'm sure your GF will like that.
>square smashing (isnt the same with both games?)
Far better than the original. and all anyone had hands on for was the bare bones tutorial level presented in the demo.

Horizon
>Fighting more humans than robots (Saw the trailer weeks ago and actually i liked it because of the idea of hunting and crushing metal dinos. Ofc i expected fighting humans in the game but I guess it feels like false advertising).
There is a full playthrough video of the game available somewhere. If I find it and you give enough of a shit I will post it.
>Good combat system (the only thing i found stupid is how the character slides without affecting the accuracy).
If switching arrow to aim at weak points and magnet sliding melee combat is considered a good combat system then oh boy is it the best.
>SJW pandering
Less pander and more Blatant endorsement of everything rich tumblrina's consider to be SJW.

FPS? the fuck are you talking about?

LOL user, even your dad had you before the 30s. Why did you dissapoint him?

From playing the demo of nier many times over I can say you will actual be punished very badly if you merely just mash square on groups of enemies. Don't fall for the mash meme

Why are these the ones people are fighting between? Its always these two games against each other. There are other games coming out in the near future. Why are these the only ones anyone cares about?

I'm guessing he meant TPS.

Nier. Stay the fuck away from Horizon/GG.

Nier is out in about a day and a half. Go with Nier.

The fuck are you on about? It's always about Zelda vs Horizon or Nioh vs Horizon.
Hell, Really it is just Horizon shills vs anything that it is coming out relatively close to it.

This is bait right? Hey Sup Forums, what should I get? This game that a ton of you hate or this game that a ton of you like? Hope you're asking places other than Sup Forums.

Obviously buy Nier: Automata so you don't look like an outcast from Sup Forums's POV because "muh superioreru Japanesu gamuningu! Bai ito now or suffah za wrass obu mai supa hahpee funu timeoh ekustura angeru, gaijin fakku!"
Such a shame. Sup Forums fails to realize that Automata will get a lower score than Horizon because Jap games are weird and boring compared to Western craftsmanship. Its the reason we beat their rice eating asses in WWII.

Two weeks in the west. 3 days in japan.

How poor are you? Let her pick one and then you just buy the other one

youtube.com/watch?v=Iq3_phBQA_Y

youtube.com/watch?v=jSg4t0uOnYY

Decide which Boss fight looks more appealing

1 day,10 hours and 7 minites

A day and a half in Japan. I'm looking at the countdown on my PS4 now.

how can nier even compete?

Nothing special, just the options I got because of both having female main characters. I saw some threads shitting Horizon but i have enough time to know Sup Forums do it everytime a new game comes out. I will probably happen with NieR and it will probably be a shitstorm with the new Zelda.

One last thing, is automata a continuation of the original nier or its a standalone story?

>Such a shame. Sup Forums fails to realize that Automata will get a lower score than Horizon because Jap games are weird and boring compared to Western craftsmanship.
No, Sup Forums understands greatly that it will get low scores. But most of Sup Forums also understands that scores don't matter and hasn't mattered for over 10 years. That Japanese games will get lower scores because they are Japanese. Like some sort of tax.
While western games get free passes on bunk gameplay mechanics a shit stories.

We are telling him to get the better game. We are not putting a score on it nor do we care.

Both
It'll be playable without having played Nier, as it takes place WAY into the future from Nier and is meant to be playable standalone, but there will be stuff from Nier in it and Automata could not have happened without the events of Nier having happened.

You poor, desperate weeb. How does it feel to know you're wrong?

Wouldn't know. Hasn't happened yet.

>falling for advertisement this easily

whats the problem with this?

let me guess, your gf let you choose between these 2 games right?

You know Horizon failed to deliver, so the only good game between those 2 is Nier.
I'd have told him to buy FFXV and drop Nier to the trashcan if it was in the options.

dont listen to the shills, get nier, it might be good.

>Failed to deliver.
>88
ROFL OKAY, SURE!

NieR, but play the demo and see if you like it

Believe me OP, I know &v& shits on a lot of things if not everything in general but there is some justification to how much they insult Horizon. The graphics are very nice, but that is really it. The AI on the enemies are bad and animations are awful. Framerate drops at random times. invisible walls. Zones where you will just simply die because the game does't want you to be there. MIST EVERYWHERE (to keep you from seeing to far) These are all the points I can make to the game without the bias to all forced diveresity stuff being brought up/

Some of us have seen the entire game in action from beginning to end. Not impress. rather disappointing really but then again I never understood why everyone was losing their shit when it was revealed.
Most of these reviews are paid for or under some sort of agenda.

That's because weebs like you hate every Western game ever and like getting fucked in the ass by Japan every goddamn year like the little gaijin American ancestry deniers ya'll are.

NieR is a good game. Horizon is just a poor man's Farcry.

>Good game.
>67
SURE, OKAY user LMAO

Incorrect.
I like The Witcher series. I've read the books.
I'm playing R6:S and For Honor the last few days.
I own multiple 2k sports games.
Horizon is just boring and heavily flawed mate.
I don't own Weeb games. I own Japanese made games though.

all of those are literally false you retard. go fuck your anime pillows you filthy weeb. the gameplay in nier will literally just be smashing square for the entire game.

Nier you fucking idiot.

Or you can get Ubishit-tier Horizon, where they copied literally everything Ubishit does and improve nothing, meaning useless open worlds and to do lists of boring content for miles! Thankfully Guerilla Games is known for story though! Wait, that's not true? Oh, well um I guess it looks pretty? Oh, it's just a shiny veneer and completely non-interactive and literally just hogging space to "look nice"? Hmmm, well at least you can climb tow--err, I mean ROBOT DINOSAUR TOWERS.

>Plays For Honor
>Finds Horizon "boring" but still play For Honor
I CAN'T

I don't know if this is some advanced strategy to tell OP that these are the type of people who side with Horizon or if it's actual retardation

jej

>false

Someone post the overworld map that looks exactly like Assassin's Creed/Watch Dogs/BamHam(ripped from Ubisoft's model), etc...

It's shit and you're encouraging it. Tell me one single thing the open world contributes to Horizon.

opinion disfuckingcarded. you have horribly shit taste and are not qualified to fucking post your opinions here. kys retard.

She sounds like a cunt, more importantly she isn't real.

poke.webm

Also have you seen dialogue cutscenes or merely looked at how aloy shoots from her bow?

I like multiplayer games that I can play with my friends. So sue me.

Just a few games in my large library of shit on my shelf and Steam library.
Sorry your tastes are so narrow your have to shit on people who like things you don't.

>Getting this triggered over nothing.

Shitty multiplayer games with virgin friends.

A bit late but try looking over at the horizon of that webm and you'll notice

>Horizon
>just another shitty open world meme game made in the style of an Ubisoft open world game with outposts and bullshit
>Nier Automata
>an action game that isn't quite on par with Bayonetta in terms of gameplay and it won't really be character-action, but is bound to have great characters, an interesting world, and an amazing soundtrack
I think it's pretty clear, user.

nier for sure.

horizon is confirmed trash. nier is potentially a great game.

As opposed to mediocre run of the mill single player games by yourself that set back the gaming industry by years.

>poke.webm

I don't even hate Horizon but Nier is probably your best bet. It looks to be a much more complete game and Horizon is already buggy as fuck.

Thanks user.

I don't know why I didn't have this saved earlier

OP here

Just...what happened in that webm? Also is it true there is a tower checkpoint system like assasins creed? I really hate that shit in videogames now and the reason I hate nintendo for implementing it in the new zelda.

so which is it dude? do we have narrow tastes for not liking what others like, or shit tastes for liking what others like? make up your mind you bandwagon faggot.

He spoke his final words before dying

And yes, there are ubisoft towers

If that's your reason for hating video games with map scanning towers, I truly feel sorry for the parents who conceived you as an accident.
