This worries me because the next entry might not sell as well, rumor is that the new entry is being developed internally by SE and with the Sony censorship policy and SE ethics department, it's gonna be tough to have the same success as Automata.
I don't care too much about the fanservice, but if PlatinumGames isn't developing the next game, it's gonna be shit
all automatafags should get cancer and die honestly i enjoyed talking about the game and having comfy threads, but then muh anime ass came along and brought in the tourists
Original Nier is much better than people give it credit for despite being basically an edgy Zelda clone and it established almost everything that Automata then made smooth and good. Platinum isn't the only competent action developer around.
Kevin Fisher
It's skin colored stockings.

OP sucks and he only cares about his meme ass. Anyways I've been thinking about getting Automata since I'm a Platinumfag but I never played Nier before. Should I give the series a shot? Are there other games in the series worth playing besides Automata?
What is the story of this game? Are two species of robots at war for no apparent reason?
Charles Cox
Oh, that’s pretty good then. Could’ve fooled me. I thought it had something to do with androids having synthetic skin, like with A2 having visible body panels because most of hers had worn away.
Elijah Adams
The first nier is kinda meh Automata is pretty good tho
Nathaniel Gutierrez
Emil was literally alive in Automata
Nathaniel Peterson
I want all of them from the beginning to be remastered with at least Automata-grade polish.
>Automata is just a retelling of the original Nier, all the plot twists are pretty much the same. What? You're gonna have to elaborate on this.
> Are there other games in the series worth playing besides Automata? PS3 version of the original Nier can be easily emulated unless you have potato for a PC. Yes, it's worth playing, don't listen to retarded secondaries.
Hopes: wild ride looking back at the series while baiting the future installment Likely reality: bored Yoko cashing in the paycheck while doing Automata best hits for 15 months before fucking off to work on more gacha shit
Hopefully the next game isn't Platinum so Automata bandwagoners get filtered out, it's not like their involvement dramatically improved the gameplay anyway
Adam Harris
After their take on FFT I expect only cancer >turn all the characters into unrecognizable, overdesigned generic nu-SE FFXIII-tier bosses >just fucking rip the origonal audio from a 20 year old game for the final boss theme
At least Dissidia took 5 minutes to make remastered bgms for Ramza
Future of Nier will be completely different from anything you could think of.
Fucking secondaries.
Landon Wright
Disregard, I’m retarded. Read this as: >Would you like to see A2 or 2B in Zero’s outfit? Either way, that’d be hot.
Aaron Rivera
I mean if the game relied on her ass to sell, then we need to go even further to sell the sequel Just make her naked this time
Nathan Hernandez
Whatever happens next, Yoko Taro is sure to alienate the tourists and any "fan" stupid enough to think their expectations matter outside of existing to be shattered You all can get fucked
Luis Allen
Only the movement and the animations have been improved, it is still a very low effort button masher like the first game. Enemies are helpless and have no moveset variety, like the first game. You can effortlessly cheese enemies with the correct Chip/Word setup, like the first game. The dodge in Automata is more broken this time round. The gameplay has basically gone from a 5/10 to a 6. This is embarrassing for Platinum
Saito/Taro will be announcing something soon. It might not be Nier related but it will be something Taro has been working on (hopefully Nier). >but if PlatinumGames isn't developing the next game, it's gonna be shit Not necessarily, Nier was made by Cavia and it was a great game. Just as long as it's not Square Enix themsleves we should be ok.

>Nier Automata sold well because ass, not because Platinum >t. c*mbrain| I mean 2Booty is nice, too, but let's not kid ourselves here: Nier Gestalt had garbage gameplay. Platinum made an enjoyable combat system for Automata. Also pulling their head out their asses and releasing for PC helped sales, too.
>Nier Gestalt had garbage gameplay. Platinum made an enjoyable combat system for Automata Both of those statements are wrong.
Juan Long
Fuck you Nier Automata was a great game and 2B has a nice ass The sky is blue Water is wet And I'll like whatever the fuck tickles my fancy
Ian Roberts
Fuck off.
Justin Long
The combat system in both games is extremely average and mediocre
Ayden Brooks
The gameplay or booty had nothing to do with it Automata looked slick and stylish in the trailers, Gestalt looked like...what the christ Also one got infinitely more media attention than the other That's it, there's nothing more to it and the individual quality of either game had very little to do with it beyond hooking shallow games journalists
Colton Edwards
Eat shit with your historical revisionis. Every Automata thread was always about how nice 2B looks, even before the game was out.
Brayden Sullivan
If Taro didn't want people to pay so much attention to 2B's butt, he shouldn't have had so much effort put into it
>Nier Automata sold well because pic related it got absolute plebs to take notice of it, but nope.
Believe it or not, DrakeNier already had a fanbase. And some of us newbs got curious after the game got compared to titles like SH2 and MGS2.
Sebastian Ross
>Compared to games like SH2? How is this game like Silent Hill 2?
Gabriel King
Both are surprisingly deep, beautiful and atmospheric gaming experiences, that will stick with you for all eternity once you beat it. A masterpiece.
Josiah Martinez
For some reason nobody remembers when he shoved Kaine's bare butt right into the camera.
Tyler Foster
Oh, I thought you meant in terms of the actual moment to moment gameplay. I was trying to think what the fuck they could have similar to each other, but you meant in terms of sheer quality.
Jordan Campbell
nier > nier automata > drakengard 3 > drakengard 1 >>> drakengard 2 fuck jizzbrains
Logan Gonzalez
So you mean to tell me if the game hadn't have had a cute female protaganist it would have just been any other forgettable JRPG weebshit? IMAGINE MY SHOCK.
Also, people are dumb animals. Welcome to reality. We've only barely "evolved"
>Oh, I thought you meant in terms of the actual moment to moment gameplay I don't see how anyone could claim such things. Nor is MGS2 anything like SH2 nor NA for that matter. But yeah, Automata gave me feelings similar to playing PS2 games as a teen. It's a non-patronizing video game adventure, with finale that certainly made me emotional.
William Russell
Niers are not JRPGs though. Especially Automata is one spicy cocktail of different gameplay styles.
