I have a dilemma. I don't know which pic related to get.
>I like the look of Horizon but I feel like there might be too much crafting and sidequests that would make me lose interest
>I loved Bayonetta and Vanquish and appreciate Platinum's gameplay, but I couldn't get through the first Nier and don't want to be lost in the story.
>I've never played a Zelda game that I've actually enjoyed. (I've only played Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, ALTTP and ALBW) But this one looks different and right up my alley.
Eh, Automata has a lot of NieR's problems and quirks refined by Platinum, so your worries don't matter this time
Lucas Kelly
>>I've never played a Zelda game that I've actually enjoyed.
Same here. Never liked a single Zelda game in my life and I've been playing games since the nes days.
Mason Hernandez
How do you like the look of BotW?
Nicholas Edwards
Horizon is fun, if you like playing a stealth archer in Skyrim it's a game for you. just don't ever go into the water. The water mechanics in this game are painful.
Anthony Thompson
Do it for her.
Kevin Evans
Nier is least likely to fuck you and is made around the idea of replayability
Colton Martin
Bought BotW, I think it's the most fun I have had in a game in like 10 years, so fucking good.
Will pirate Nier when they crack it.
And I don't buy feminist propaganda games.
Cooper Evans
nier and zelda obviously
Aiden Parker
In Horizon, can you get different armor and weapons and upgrade stats and all of that? I haven't looked much into it.
Luke Davis
Crafting in Horizon isn't that big of a deal. You just pick up things as you run around the world and then hold X to make ammo.
Evan Davis
Yes.
Jason Rivera
pirate nier pirate zelda dont give money to sony
William White
Nier probably the best one out of the three
>actual story >good characters >replay ability >good combat >RPG elements >free roaming >hot female protag >good visuals
Chase Moore
Not shitposting, I have a PS4 and wouldn't buy a WiiU nor a Switch, but Horizon looks LOOKS, I haven't played it, just giving my input on what I've seen like the kind of game that has some fun-ish generic mechanics but at the end of the day it's not really an impressive game, kinda good-ish Ubisoft games like Far Cry 4 or WD2. It's not really an experience like games that are actually great. BOTW has some of those mechanics but Nintendo always manage to change those things into something much more original and consistent. And I'd say Nier feels more like a less over-the-top Platinum game than a Nier game, so it's kind of a dillema for you I guess.
I'd easily go for Zelda if I had a WiiU/Switch, then Nier. If there weren't nothing good coming out this year I'd probably buy Horizon but I'm not crazy about it.
Zachary Diaz
Don't even waste your time with Horizon it's mediocre at best.
You have 2 options here. Nier is fun if you like hack and slash games. However it's short, doesn't have a lot of content.
Zelda is good, it's always good. Even the lesser regarded ones such as Skyward Sword are still good by video game standards. If you have a Wii U get it, you won't be disappointed.
Logan Cook
How's the enemy variety in Horizon?
Evan Turner
>check out the three most shitposted titles these days and help me decide xD
Do people really not see how obvious this bait is?
Ryder Scott
Nier, just trust me.
Christian Howard
Just stay away from Horizon.
Connor Martin
Why
Connor Scott
What's the bait in trying to decide between the three most popular and played games of the moment? Did Sup Forums fuck with you head enough to make everything into a shitty meme?
Jackson Edwards
>However it's short, doesn't have a lot of content.
It takes about 25h to finish the game if you rush the story, with side quests and other shit you can go to 50~60h. That's not short at all.
Nicholas Ramirez
Nier is a rental or bargain buy. Anyone paying the full $60 is an idiot and anyone pirating has no soul.
26 robots compared to the 16 in Zelda
Lucas Jones
Yakuza 6, Days Gone, Spider-Man, God of War, The Last of Us II, Knack 2, Wipeout: Omega Collection, Detroit, FF7 Remake...
how do we stop Sony Sup Forumsros?
Nicholas Sullivan
>buy Horizon >'Matriarchy' is literally the most spoken word in the first 4hs of the game (which is how much I've played so far) >all men respect and literally bow to every single female they find >all females are superior in hierarchy, intelligence, strength and morals in a direct, comparative way, to the males
I'm not even kidding. This is the ultimate liberal feminist utopia brainwashing game.
Lincoln Watson
Horizon will inevitably be bargin bin trash in a couple of months so if you really wanna play jist wait until it's cheap
Blake Fisher
>Civilized conversation >HURR DURR BAIT GUYS
Brody Wright
Not OP, but I've been planning on picking up horizon tomorrow after work. Tell me why I should or should not.
Sebastian Robinson
Found the butthurt Horizon fag. Even 5 hours in Nier is worth more money than your generic shitfest of a game.
Isaiah Barnes
I own Horizon and Zelda. I don't know about that weeb shit game.
I can say that after 14 hours with Zelda I do not want to put Horizon back in my PS4 and play it again. Zelda is just so fun
Austin Smith
This. It's just such a in-for-face way you can hear the female developers saying "you go girls!".
I wouldn't be surprised if someone screamed GIRL POWER in the game.
Aaron Sanchez
Behave yourself. Nothing more embarrassing than an angry weeb.
Justin Hall
damn it's like they tried to shoe-horn in a fugly ass looking piper from fallout 4 at the last moment. only piper is actually cute in a very strange fugly way, and everything about horizon sucks ass
Alexander Carter
This. Supporting a game like horizon with that type of political agenda is not worth 60 dollars. One of the plot points is literally copy righted from a Futurama episode
Jose King
Okay I've made up my mind. I'm buying horizon tomorrow. If it triggers Sup Forums this hard, then it deserves my money.
Xavier Rogers
just got it yesterday and finally opened up the world. Im enjoying it, the combat is pretty good once you get more weapons to set up traps and other strategies. The story is servicable, I thought it was an SJW fest so far I havent seen anything more than 90s era grrl power. right now my only gripe is the art direction, not bad but not my cup of tea. I wish there was different hair options at least.
Christopher Howard
>Zelda's gunna sell gangbusters and there's not much to spoil on it. >Horizon's probably fun, but I wouldn't consider getting it at full-price, considering it's a survival/crafting game spouting SJW politics. >Automata will probably be the last Nier game if it doesn't sell well and if you wait, there's a higher chance of the game getting spoiled and half of it being ruined. Just my opinions, I'm a poorfag who never buys games at launch.
Nicholas Morgan
As an idort I can say that Zelda is way superior to HZD. For someone like me that loves games with a lot of player agency it's one of the best games since morrowind. what zelda should have been imho instead of getting stuck into the OoT structure Nier is a different genre, is a linear game with a bigger focus on storyline. It's good. Go for the one you would like the most. You can also pirate Zelda an WiiU, especially to give it a try and see if you like it.
Easton Harris
Do corruptors appear in free roam or are they only in missions?
Luke Lee
I'm getting the first two. Fuck that third one.
Landon Reyes
If you prefer combat, storyline, characters, and music then Nier.
If you want an open world sandbox to mess around in then Zelda.
It's up to you but those are the places where each game shines.
Jack Taylor
I thought it was an SJW fest *but* so far I havent seen anything more terrible than 90s era grrl power.
Daniel Reed
Nier is above and beyond both Zelda and Horizon, none of these games are short enough to warrant renting. Renting a game is just as bad on the publisher as pirating it.
Brandon Moore
>didn't like ALttP I was typing up a response but you are hopeless. Enjoy your Switch and open world meme bud.
Kayden Reed
Do the people crying about SJWs realize that there are cultures other than the one they were born into?
Juan Kelly
If you already have a Switch you might as well get Zelda, otherwise the system is literally useless. Don't get the WiiU version since it has performance issues out the ass.
Andrew Torres
BoTW >>> Horizon
I don't know about Automata yet since I haven't played the full game but I'll probably end up enjoying it the most
Ayden Jones
Nier is a generic weeb game with Platinum combat.
If you dig Platinum combat, then I have nothing more to say, go for it.
If you're gonna play Nier for the story, you might as well save the money and go read some Naruto fanfic instead.
Lucas King
Buy Nier, pirate Zelda, and wait for a sale on Horizon.
Samuel Hall
havent met any roaming corruptors yet but Im still at the point that I cant go head to head with a sawtooth
Parker Adams
>Nier >generic How so? I seriously want to know, I'm not just talking down to you.
Liam Sanders
zelda or nier. horizon looks boring as fuck desu
Connor Taylor
>UGLY MEN FUCK MEN GROSS GET AWAY EW DONT TOUCH ME >[first girl she meets] hey girl lemme get wit chu Yeah the lesbian culture of middle class America.
Jayden Young
Don't listen to this shill trying to justify his Switch purchase, Wii U Zelda is nearly identical.
Automata is great and it lasts around like 50-60 hours for most people. What more does a game have to do to be worth full price? Also more people buying it at full price will help ensure that Square Enix gives Taro a bigger budget to work with on his next game.
Oliver Carter
Get Nier and Horizon
Wait for a the new switch to be announced.
Zelda runs like hot garbage
Xavier Collins
>Complain about generic game mechanics >Praise neir, a game with generic game mechanics just face it you weebfags only like nier b/c muh nip waifu
Jeremiah Torres
Ok. I hope corruptors are in free roam because they're the coolest enemy in the game besides the crabs and stalkers.
Colton Torres
You fail to mention that Nier is basically playing the game over and over again with varying differences just for different endings
Noah Robinson
Fuck off retard.
Ayden Adams
Because it represents everything wrong with the modern video gaming industry. You don't want to make things worse, do you?
Levi Torres
still better than horizon
Jordan Evans
Wrong. You really need to stop parroting random shit you hear on Sup Forums.
Ayden Morales
I'm not interested in your Sup Forums-tier bullshit. You've just made my decision for me. Horizon it is.
John Hernandez
This. And it's a single player game too so you won't have to worry about no one playing it anymore.
Jonathan Johnson
You fail to mention that you didn't even play the game my dude
Jayden Bailey
Not that user, but I'm in a simmilar position. Tried MM, Orcarina of Time, ALttP, and Wind Waker. Never felt compelled to beat any of them. That said, BotW looks fun. I honestly like open worlds set in the great out doors. i bought Xenoblade X solely to use as a hiking simulator and got my moneys worth. So I'm looking forward to buying BotW.
Jose Brown
I do want to get Nier eventually for A2. She's definitely my favorite
But spending $60 on Nier on weeb trash is fucking stupid though (Same iwth P5, will get later but not full price). Most of the people trying to trick others into buying Nier are probably kids who dont know the first thing about earning an income.
Bentley Lewis
I literally have the game. YOU need to stop parroting shit that fits your narrative.
If I am wrong, tell me what is the main objective after I beat the game and get an ending?
Aaron Sullivan
He's just shitposting, Taro games have very little in the way of Anime tropes. I'd say it's one of a small handful of story-centered games that couldn't be better told as a film.
Jaxon Roberts
By that logic he should just wait on all three of the games.
Jackson Nguyen
How about you finish the game before you act like it's entirely the same after just one ending?
Jose Lopez
>Taro games have very little in the way of Anime tropes
Get your mouth off his cock user. Are you really here to pretend Drakengard and Nier aren't full of anime cliche?
Kayden Hughes
So what, the game is "weeb trash" solely because it's a Japanese game that's not by Nintendo? You're going to need to provide an actual argument if you want anyone to take you seriously kiddo.
Adrian Morris
Is this how AAA development got to where it is? Lots of deluded people who think they are obligated to only buy the latest over-marketed AAA tripe by directors who cry every night because they aren't film directors, just because that's the thing that working people do.
Anthony Davis
LOL
John Ortiz
Oh so after I beat the game, I need to play the game again to get another ending? That is exactly what I posted before.
Easton James
Nier Horizon Zelda
in that order
Eli Gutierrez
BotW, no brainer
Don't let the Platinum logo fool you, N:A's gameplay is shitter than MGR and Bayo by a mile, it's a piss easy hack n slash made infinitely worse by the fact that every single enemy is a brainless pile of shit with bullet hell segments are laughably bad compared to anything else in the genre. Literally the only thing it has going for it is fapbait, that's it. If you're not a sexually deprived loser, you should know right away to stay away. The story is dogshit as per usual, but that's apparently "the point" according to Tarodrones. The dialogue in that game is so fucking horribly written, I don't know how anyone manages to stomach that shit without dying of second hand embarrassment, it is some of the cringiest weeb writing I've seen in a video game.
Horizon is just a lame game, the story and world look uninteresting and the gameplay isn't particularly compelling, either. It looks to me like BotW does everything it does but much better.
Adrian Collins
Nope. For some reason, you think the game is exactly the same while trying to get your 2nd ending, and the only thing that changes is the video of the ending.
There's hours of gameplay and story you haven't reached, you blithering retard.
Bentley Barnes
The joke is, BOTW and Horizon have the exact same story
Evan Collins
With the exception of Nier, which is almost useless once it's been spoiled. >m-muh Platinum combat! That's not the point, just play Transformers for that
Lincoln Edwards
>worst girl >worst taste checks out
Ethan Scott
That's not Rei senpai
Luis Taylor
Does anyone here actually have a PS4 and a Wii/Switch to compare them or are we just going to have a company loyalty e peen measuring contest?
Owen Lee
To be fair, most stories are cliche, whether it's from the east or the west.
Ultimately, it comes down to character designs. I fucking love how A2 (and to a lesser extent, 9S) looks, so I'm fine with the same shitty anime tropes with her involved.
Weebs in general dont have a firm grasp on their emotions. So when they see a waifu they like, that waifu can do no wrong no matter how stupid her plot/stories are.
Josiah Nguyen
Enjoy the future you've chosen.
Liam Collins
You're going to have to by Nier right now if you want the industry to make more games like it.
Cameron Cook
Did you not read the part where I said I have the game? Where I said that each play through has just varying differences?
The core of the game stays the same, the enemies are the same, the levels are the same. Sure they will throw in a curve ball here and there but 90% of the time its the same shit each play through.
Noah Morris
You can tell this person hasn't played Nier and is regurgitating every single thing one can say against it at you.
Aiden Bailey
The levels and enemies are not the same, you blithering retard. How about you play the game you own instead of making up bullshit about it?
Gabriel Harris
Why are people saying they have nier? It's not even out yet
Nathaniel Perry
How about you actually get the game instead of thinking you know anything because you watched some streams or youtube videos? Fuck off, you Nier shill are embarrassing.
Josiah Hughes
It is in nipland
unless you forgot ps4 isn't region locked
Dylan Ward
There isn't some flat scale that rates all of them.
Horizon IS very by the book. One review described it like a "Best Of Collection" of Open World games. So if you have actually played butt loads of open world games and are tired of them, then by all means skip it.
Nier is a weeb game with Platinum combat. That's literally it. If you like both then by all means get it. Don't let autitsic Tarofags trick you into thinking it's super meaningful and deep. It's melodrama. So if you love the character designs, you'll probably be fine.
Zelda can be emulated, so there's no point discussing it since you can get it for free.
Easton Diaz
>sell wii u and ps4 >get pc >play nier >use cemu to emulate botw in half a year
Ian Wood
Out two weeks ago on Japanese PSN with full English subs and dubs.
Christopher Wright
>nintendo games >ever dropping in price come on lad...
William Lopez
I've beaten the game retard, the one you admitted you only got ending in. Why are you pretending you know about the rest of it?
