Big ass.

All the FE and other ninty game thread spamming does though. A board can only hold so many threads, and creating new ones, bumps the older ones off the board. For some reason it's only the nintendo fanbase who can't keep their discussion to a single thread. Every day you see a bunch of shitty Smash leak threads, each and every one equally obviously fake and undeserving of taking a thread spot on Yea Forums. But none of those are being cleaned up.

no shit, yoko taro made nier automata kino, not platinum. platinum just made it easier to enjoy by finally giving us a taro game with gameplay that wasn't ass

i'll still get this shit because switch drought (and really just a games drought in general, haven't bought anything on PC or PS4 in months)

>Vice
This is lower tier than Shitaku. You guys are really reaching to make this game look bad, huh.

They paint policemen as the good guys, everyone it's supposed to hate the popo

Platinum Games just can't into stories.

This is why Nier Automata was their only big hit; purely character action games that are all about gameplay with the story being nonsensical garbage don't sell anything. Bayonetta proves that.

They are as niche as fighting games at this point.

Yes, Nier Automata was the first Yoko Taro game with gameplay that didn't suck because of Platinum, but without Yoko's story, Nier Automata would have sold as much as Bayonetta or Mad World, i.e. not much at all.

>475808108
If you wanted a nier game when Taro wasnt working on this i really dont know what to say to you as youre too dumb

yeah the reviews dont count unless they're from a nintendo fansite

If anything, nier automata was boring and clunky.

I've skimmed through that article, and the OP's main complaint seems to be not being rewarded for experimenting with different playstyles, unless the game forces you to. And being able to just stick with whatever strongest weapon you have and do well. Which is weird, because Automata did the same exact thing, except I don't remember even being forced to change my playstyle in the first place. But Automata was heavy on RPG elements, leveling and stuff. So while you could potentially do all the crazy Platinum enemy juggling, it was purely optional, and truth be told, not required in a NieR game.

Remember, it’s ok when Valve of Nintendo does it.

Now post the Jezebel review.

>Nier Automata was their only big hit

was Metal Gear Rising not a hit?

Nier's combat sucked dick and the game has much less replay value for subsequent playthroughs considering you play through a big chunk of the game multiple times.
I'll take the combat focused game

and this is why I'm actually glad the game is not on PS4. We don't need this type of pro-cop alt-right fascist shit on PS4.

i guess you could say forcing the hacking shit on you as 9S made me change by playstyle, but i think most people didn't like that change

Who's cancelling it? It's getting sucked off by every other journo because Nintendo made the game easy enough for them.

So play on hard baby

You weren't forced to hack in combat, you could just hack and slash your way to victory with 9S like you could with 2B. Hacking was just overpowered in terms of damage it could do. But not mandatory outside of some puzzles.

NOBODY IS STOPPING YOU FROM TALKING ABOUT PS4 GAMES

You can't play on hard on your first playthrough.

It's sad people hold Shittermata up to some high standard

>Vice
They liked Nier Automata, despite all the sexulization? That place is filled with more trannies and feminists than Retardera and Kotaku put together.

I guarantee there's a secret code like every fucking other platinum game to do so

Tell me what the code is then.

It's still dogshit to play compared to Nier Automata. Of course I don't expect toddlers to have standards.

why don't you just make threads about games you want to talk about then? You know this is a free imageboard, right? You don't need high Karma or mod status to make threads.

Go back.

Speaking of difficulty.
Youtube algorithm suggested my a "S+ rank on max difficulty" AS video by... Gamespot. The player is being hit multiple times and uses healing items and buffs and still gets an S+ at max difficulty. The game's ranking system is definitely a hard cry from Bayo or MGR.

Nu-platinum no longer makes games which reward skill. They make casual garbage solely designed to make the player FEEL like they're skillful with little effort.
Basically the same thing DmC did (at the same framerate) and that game was rightfully torn to shreds. P* gets a free pass here for some reason

>vice

Attached: uuy.png (822x844, 222K)

the best thing about Nier Automata wasn't the combat, it was the story, the world and its characters, and also the music. The combat was excellent, but the same combat in a boring world like bayonetta's wouldn't have changed anything.

Granted, I won't be expecting the same level of story-telling and world-building in Astral Chain as I did when I played Nier Automata, that's just ludicrous

You're right, I wonder why it isn't being deleted for advertising instead.

Eh, I don't think EVERY game needs a ranking system at all. Just solid action gameplay is enough for me, and Platinum do that very well. It's just that they DID implement a ranking system in Astra Chains, and I can't help comparing it to their old titles, which seem much less forgiving on the average.

Nier Automata was not very good from a core gameplay perspective, user. Not sure why you're holding it to such high praise.

This is true. Yoko Taro is a great ideas guy that can make shit like "let's have a big ass animu french maid kill robots" work and also use that to lure us into the big narrative in a fully realized world.

That's why I disliked Bayonetta so much. I played it to know the story, in preparation for Bayo2 (the supposedly better game, haven't played it yet though) but the story was just nonsensical/bollocks and the gameplay was going from combat area to combat area with little to no exploration at all

Lol no, flashy cinematic easy as piss garbage does not beat out actual challenge and combos

Nintenshills literally invade those threads and report others to send them to /vg/

There is an orchestra OST, if you download it from torrent and put it there. You are right about everything else.

I like Automata, but it's really not a great action game. Almost all its bosses are pretty disappointing, which is a huge surprise from Platinum. There's no real combos to learn beyond tapping X and Y at random and the difficulty is all over the place. Normal is too easy the whole way through, but playing on Hard will give you a brain aneurysm before you get clear of the prologue.

Nope. It was really a shadow of yoko taros previous work. It's clear square enix restrained him a bit. Hell it didn't even end on a tragic note with a super fucked up ending.

You can't even play on Hard in Astral Chain until you've beaten the game.

He was outright asking for a higher difficulty to be available on his first playthrough, so presumably Normal.

Given some of the comments by the game’s director during the pre-release cycle, I wasn’t coming into Astral Chain expecting a critique of policing (even though, despite message board common sense, Japan is undergoing an internal conversation about what role law enforcement should serve in society). But I did hope that the game would engage at all with its core premise, the idea of capturing and enslaving these extradimensional, largely humanoid beings towards the ends of a special police force
>Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex in using a police procedural to examine the limits of law enforcement agencies, the bias of powerful institutions, and the way that an unreliable and corrupt government hurts most those on the margins of society
POLICE BAD
ANARCHY GOOD
DRUMF BAD
COMMUNISM GOOD

Maybe I am in the minority but I really enjoy that in platinum games and other action games because it usually means that the hard mode is balanced for replaying the game and for that juggles enemy placements and mixes things up. This in turn gives it more of a fresh experience and allows for much more interesting replayability. It worked really well in Bayo 1 and most DMC games.

There are post game challenge missions that are supposedly very hard. Not docking rank for getting hit at all is a weird choice. I'm betting it's got something to do with either the 30fps or the camera sometimes having trouble keeping track of both you and your legion that they were more lenient on damage for the ranking to avoid player frustration over having to restart due to stuff out of their control.

>vice

Different user but I pirated it you start with 3 modes, journalist mode, casual, and "platinum standard" I'm not too far into p* mode but it is pretty simplistic, you only have 1 attack button and switch between gun and baton with the road, and you can really only move the legion to cause some mixups but the ai can be a bit iffy on which goon to actually attack. Overall I like the presentation and the artstyle is nice

Yea Forums hasn't liked valve ever since artifact and epic situation. In fact even before that Yea Forums hated them

Sure sounds like coping in that pic. Just buy a Swich, bro. That with the game is only like 360 bucks.

His review is worth reading as he put 30 hours into the game and really breaks down the structure/pacing of the game and how it compares to Platinum's other titles

>Here's your reviewer bro.

Austin 'I'm queer to deflect criticism' Walker
Austin 'Triggered by old South Park jokes' Walker
Austin 'Failed his dissertation in English lit so many times that he just never graduated college' Walker

But I guess he thought a Switch game was so so so now he's fine according to nu-v

Fuck the police!

It always works that way.
Jim sterling gave Zelda a 7, now he is a God to the snoyfags here

finished the third (?) chapter here are my complaints

>detective shit is really boring
>making the playable twin silent when the other one is always voiced is really retarded
>combat is okay but only having one button to attack with makes your options feel extremely limited maybe this will get better as you get more legions
>in smaller areas it turns into a complete clusterfuck where you can barely see a thing

the game is pretty fun especially when it kicks into high gear during the latter half of the missions but any time you're not hitting stuff or platforming is snoozeville

>waypoint hates the game
Guess it’s good then

Same argument as with Tomb Raider. If all it takes for people to buy a game is to have a lead female character with a nice ass, Deathtrap Dungeon by default would be an annual franchise now instead of Tomb Raider.

There needs to be something compelling going for the game for the 'fluff' eye candy to even matter. Both Tomb Raider 1 and Nier Automata have that.

Man, fuck Jim Sterling and his windsock opinions.

Transcendentally shit maybe.

Literally the worse Yoko Taro game with the worse Platinum Games gameplay

He's retarded for calling it paid but you're just as much of a faggot for thinking Austin has any say.

Austin is literally the worst person to listen to because he utterly refuses to ever change his play style. He'll find a single broken move and spam it the entire game and whine the game doesn't "push him to vary it up".

>People shocked game not made by Yoko Taro isn't a Yoko Taro game.
Astral chain looks interesting so far.

Guess he learned something from Jeff before he ditched GB.

I consider Automata a significant game but calling it transcendent is retarded.
Still, not quite as retarded as expecting Astral Chain to share similarities with Automata when that game's chief driving force is entirely absent.

The reason Automata was interesting is it attempted some inadvisable things and fared surprisingly well in the attempt. It's a game that must have been bullshitted past the suits.
The gameplay loops are an eclectic mix but Platinum Games deliver on making these mesh together neatly (for the most part).
They're people who know what they're doing who were probably servicing some absurd demands, and they made it work.

It's good but not masterclass gameplay and characters see something of a necessary sacrifice for purposes of story and themes.
Overall a fairly strong fusion of story and gameplay.

There are plenty of valid critiques but shitting on it as a whole is shitting on games that try something a bit different.
One of those that's probably worth having played even if you didn't like it.

Seems like a good thing. From what I've seen of Nier Automata it's one of Platinum games most casual and unengaging combat systems(of their higher profile games), and the environments are bland and unaesthetic.

vice? on Yea Forums? Wtf do you think you are nigger?

Ass Chump deserves 0 sales. Platinum needs to stop thinking they will succeed with Nintendo.

Make sure to pirate the game.

It being less than Automata is actually a plus for me. Especially if the complaint is coming from someone who calls it "transcendent".

>Nintendies have deluded themselves into thinking a game offering less than its predecessor is a good thing
This is just pathetic

No idea. Was talking about Automata.
But I would call shitting on Astral Chain at this stage a bit premature, even if it does turn out to be justified.
>From what I've seen of Nier Automata it's one of Platinum games most casual and unengaging combat systems(of their higher profile games)
You're not wrong there. Compared to their other fare the main combat system is more casual, less well tuned. On the other hand it does like to alternate genre at times which can be interesting.
The problem with Automata is you really have to play it rather than go by what you've seen, since it's a fusion of all of its elements.

That's actually one of the interesting internal conflicts with the man behind it.
He's all about how every part of videogames as a medium can be used but, at the risk of being unfair, does not have much insight into engineering solid gameplay mechanics.
This is why his partnership with Platinum Games worked so well to shore up that weakness.

>automata
>transcendent
what? It's literally just Nier but worse and with more waifubait

>all that butthurt over this game being well received
>Trying to use a review from a guy who thinks this game glorifys cops to hide your anal devastation

Seems like this game is great if it caused this many anons to shitpost against it.

What little i've seen of Astral Chain makes it actually look like an enjoyable action experience, which Automata was not. Astral Chain is not a successor to Automata in any capacity, which is good because it will be more enjoyable for it.

Nobody cares that it's 'well received' people are complaining it's an extremely mediocre hack and slash game devoid of any challenge.

I've played the game for 12 hours so far, it's alright. Nothing life-changing, nothing terrible, just a tolerable Platinum title. The story is crazy bland, which is a shame. I was hoping for something a little more CRAZY, but maybe the last few chapters will improve it.

Funny enough it even PSP fags are called Nintendo fags
Just goes to show how ignorant false flaggers are

This is all because of Nintendo pushing poor quality onto Platinum. They forced Platinum to churn it out.

If this game was with any other publisher, it would be much better. Nintendo has done nothing but hold games back.

What's the deal with all the praise of Nier Automata? I don't get it. And I'm a huge fan of the original Nier to boot. Was it the story or something? It didn't really captivate me like the original but maybe it just wasn't for me. I can't imagine it was the gameplay, right?

You have to be retarded or ESL to understand that from my post.

Snoyfags are COPING and SEETHING extremely hard right now

Nier's main cast was definitely leagues better. I didn't give a shit about 9S or 2B. A2 was alright but you'll barely know who she is unless you watch the stageplay. Everyone said it was deep but the theme of "dude what if robots DO have feelings. What does it really mean to have feelings??" is the most unoriginal shallow plotline I can think of and it was basically already covered in the original.
