Nier: Automata
http://static2.gamespot.com/uploads/...t_20151030.jpg Quote:
Platforms: PS4 & PC Previous Games: Drakengard Ending 5 -> Nier (PS3) / Nier Automata (PS4/PC) Nier Automata can be played with out needing to play the first Nier game because while it was set in the same universe, the years the games are placed in are too far apart. The first Nier game can be played with out playing Drakengard. The first Nier game's timeline was set in year: 3,361 (the prologue was set in year 2049) Nier Automata timeline is set around year: 11,944 More things will go here. Anyone going to be playing this game? I preordered it because I liked the demo. List of Let's Play Play Lists made by Trisphee Members. DK Plays |
That reminds me a lot like ICEY, which has a protagonist wielding a sword while a robot companion follows her. Is it just me, or that the protagonists are a little too similar despite being in different games?
|
Muse have for giant swords pls. And giant robot fights
|
Neon - the 'companion' is based on the first Nier game, instead of a Pod in that game you got a Grimior (book) The attacks are similar yet different.
I can't say anything about the Swords, I've played lots of games where the character carries their swords on their back. I never played ICEY, but the game plays very similar to the first Nier game. Jin: ovo I want to play in the fighter machine that flies. Its my favorite part of the demo >w< Its like I get my own gundam >:D |
So! NieR:Automata was release here yesterday. I played a bit then and then about 4-5 hours of it today.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...u7Fpx6VV5b6-ol I'm making a DK Plays (a lets play) playlist for this game.. todays game recordings will be uploaded tomorrow >->, So who's playing it?! 8D Will I find your androids corpse on the ground? >:D |
I got to play this today for about three hours and was completely blown away. The smoothness of the gameplay and the way it transitions between styles and camera modes is really amazing, the story and setting are so wonderfully creepy and badass, and it plays like a hybrid of Dark Souls and Kingdom Hearts @__@
I will definitely be buying this at some point. |
I have only gotten to the first camp and yes i agree it is amazing lol
|
Some of the endings will make you laugh, some will make you cry.. The diversity of emotions is the best >o<
|
I died in the tutorial. I am scrub.
|
-Pets- the tutorial can be brutal o3o
|
I'm not totally sure on how dodges work yet (which is mostly why I died), do you get actual invincibility frames if you dodge into/through attacks, or do you need to physically move away from incoming attacks? It seems like there's a i-frame system where 2B splits off into those after-images if you do it right, but is that some other mechanic I'm not understanding?
|
-never delves much into mechanics- o3o um.., I just dodge.. and sometimes I use a chip that if you dodge just right it slows time down >:D
|
Hmm. It also seemed like I was able to do counter-attack combos if I timed the dodges right, too. Kind of wish they explained it better, but on the other hand I also like games that don't hold your hand....
Oh, the other thing I was wondering about was, what does Praying for the fallen players do when you find them? I can't tell that it does anything at all. |
I haven't figured that out either.. but i think it gives you more items/exp or gives the helper more HP when you repair them.. its just a guess though o3o i always prayed >w>
|
So, two more questions, what's with the locked boxes I can't open?
And I keep retrieving from bodies, and it says I'm getting plugins, but when I go the skills menu to equip them, they're not there. Am I doing something wrong? And what is the white number that shows up above my head when I retrieve from bodies? |
Locked Boxes only 9S can open via Hacking
The chips kind of stack, like you have Auto Heal +1 (11) that (11) turns to 12 or something. Though I did find +7s once and they NEVER showed up in my inventory D:< like WTF! The white numbers are you auto healing ;D |
I just fought the boss at the amusement park, and wow that was exciting. Those seamless transitions into the hacking mini-game and all the different mechanics the fight throws at you. I can't even imagine what's still in store ahead. @__@
|
To be honest, i think she was the hardest boss ._. soo much jumping and dodging was needed x-x then there was the hacking mini game inturruptions.. =o= ugh 9S.. DO YOUR JOB! DON'T MAKE ME DO IT FOR YOU D:< fail sidekick!
|
I didn't think she was all that hard. D:
(though I'm only playing on Normal) I love dodging though lol, and I have confirmed that, yes, you do get i-frames when you evade, you just have to time it right. It doesn't seem to work on those pink orb-bullets the machines shoot though? Or I'm just really bad at timing it. Probably that. |
i found like 9 locked boxes when in my first hour of playing... i did not know how to open
|
-plays on normal- >w>
|
Wow, that's more than I've found in like 4 hours now lol.
And DK, I play dodge builds on Dark Souls, so my evade game is pretty on-point. :P (And I love that you can configure Nier to have almost identical controls. ^__^) |
I'm more of a keep attacking up close and keep slashing at the enemy type.. but with this game i'm more of a "POD! LAZER! Pod! BOMB ET! D:<" and keep my distance xD
|
By the way, how's the weapon variety? Are there a lot to choose from by endgame?
I found the spear by the sewers, and now I'm worried about how hidden some of them might be. D: |
Melee, Spear, Light Sword, Heavy Sword
then there are the pod chips that lets you have many different attacks and defenses. |
Oh, I meant more like how many in each category there are, and related to that, are the starting weapons as good as later ones if you upgrade them? /is noob
|
So I've made a horrible mistake, and died re-exploring that area where the white-haired boss was born, and there's a bunch of level 38 machines there now who slaughtered me, and keep slaughtering me every time I go to grab my body. >_<
|
I played NieR: Gestalt several times and felt it was entirely underrated. It remains my second favorite Square Enix game, and I have high hopes for this one, for sure.
|
I'm hoping they port Neir: Gestalt to the PS4. I'd like to play it. I tried watching Game Play videos but that bores me. o3o
Hahaha xD I did that too Sheol! I wanted to re-explore that place and then BOOM! i was all O-o wtf...? luckily my body was in a spot i could get to with out dying a second time. I'd suggest to not go back >w> Dead body 1: All the items Dead Body 2: (if you didn't collect body 1, you get NOTHING BACK! D8) so on so forth |
Not sure if you knew but you can go back to the starting area and reclaim your old gear
|
o3o you'd have to know about that seeing as they send you a mail about it >w>

Anyone else spam the off button for self-destruct?
|
for the longest time i didn't even know HOW to do that >-> I needed it for an ending >w>
I want the first Neir just for Emil OnO |
Yeah it was when you are to set up at the start. Just kept spamming OFF and 9S got annoyed
|
I was talking about the actual self destructing. you need to use it for one of the endings >w>
|
I REFUSE TO DO IT
|
