No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
And this
All the joking bullshit aside Id put Horizon to the side for later. Mainly because already had the chance to play the Nier demo and Horizon would be going in blind for the most part. Also in general as mentioned before rarely do AAA Western titles have music that I personally give a shit about. But that may differ for you so that point does not really stand. lol
Both do look to be quality games though visually so do not blame you for being unsure on which to pick up seeing how you have a bit more of an neutral view in regards to both titles.
Im still generally concerned about "check the boxes" type of game design when it comes to titles that do "open world" so to speak. Regardless of how nice something may look. So in that regard while Ill be getting Horizon also, its been on thing that is on the back of my mind. With just how fresh will everything be with the gameplay flow. On top of the fact that outside of the robotic animals and whatnots, could care less about the setting or characters in Horizon. Being familiar with Yoko Taro's work am far more interested to see what Nier Automata has to offer this time around. Already know too that the combat and controls are solid as fuck from the demo also.
