Not at all. This is the real deal.

It's a thing in Platinum games. And it's something I don't like.
The execution of a dodge should be something planned and executed. With start up frames, recovery frames, and not all of it having invincibility. It leads to situations where you just say 'fuck it' let's mash dodge without actually learning enemy/boss attack patterns. What's worse, is that platinum even further encourages this by giving you power ups after a successful dodge. I.e, witch time, or new combat abilities and other such perks.
Your reward for dodging attacks should be that you avoided incurring damage.
But it's platinum's combat engine they keep using, I've learned to deal with it.
That move is hilariously overpowered. Even moreso on the higher difficulties where the enemies are more aggressive, because it just makes it easier to get a perfect dodge and sweep whole mobs of enemies up into 2B's auto-launcher-death-whirlwind where you can tear up like five dudes at once
That and the fact that you can dodge infinitely without consequence to i-frame your way through just about anything are probably a little broken, but for a larger RPG kind of game I'm OK with it.
btw, there's a hidden area that leads to a Dark Souls-ish unlockable shortcut that I didn't notice my first time through:
If you jump onto that orange crane in the foreground you reach a path where you can lower a crane that'll let you skip a good chunk of the level if you ever have to go back through this area.
Accord is back?
Things like this is why you get a JP account.
Less than 14 hrs until the NA PSN NieR: Automata demo release! We hope you're looking forward to it!
Probably not, as I actively avoided bullet hell games in the past.Bullet hell.
If you go into the Chip menu and remove the OS chip, it just resets the demo.

Though would get a weird toobie death animation.
There's at least a couple of shortcuts to previous areas I found which is interesting. Another is if you head right instead of left while inside the factory at one point you can lower a bridge and get back outside. They don't seem to serve any purpose in the demo though
From SE NA twitter:
Tempted to just download this JP version.
The bullet hell aspect can still punish your dodges, so it's not all bad news on that front.
So you can't block all bullet hell bullets by blocking like the first Nier? That sure was busted there.

The original Nier sent you through the same areas multiple times and made you do multiple playthroughs to see the full ending, so I imagine these will really come in handy in the full game.
This is exactly what I hoped for.
This isn't a Platinum Action Game with a Nier skin, this is Nier with a Platinum-styled gameplay with set pieces. Huge focus on ranged attacks, an absurd amount of glowing red bullets, constantly changing camera angles and the transparent letter boxing for cutscenes. I can see some of those things being a turn-off for the crowd who came for another Platinum game only.
My main concern was that with Platinum doing the heavy lifting that we'd get a standard Character Action Game that didn't feel like the original. This doesn't feel like that. This is the first time the gameplay of a Yoko Taro game hasn't been awful. I'm very thankful the game seems to have kept it's identity.
The game plays perfectly and is so visually striking. The boss of the demo was already a great experience and that's before it goes into it's final phase and goes nuts. Music is still on point and voice acting was superb.
My most anticipated game along with Persona 5. 2017 is gonna slay.

Yo the falcon punch? God daaaaaaaaaamn I can't wait to play this when I get back from vacation.
JP version has english text so if you have JP account there is really no reason not to download it.
No. The story apparently takes place thousands of years after the first one and should be self-contained.I can't wait to try this out tomorrow! But, do I need to play the previous Nier games to understand what's going on?

I have to try this.

So how spoilery is this demo? do we see a lot of details?
