[Miggy]

Let's go!

 

[hans_castorp]

Seeing the consequence of exposing Yoko Taro to a bigger public will be more entertaining that the game itself lol

Do you pronounce it like automatic or autonomous

 

[BocoDragon]

Do you pronounce it like automatic or autonomous

More the latter.

Ah-taw-mah-tah.

 

[Palculator]

Do you pronounce it like automatic or autonomous

I pronounce it like Automata? What's the problem here? It's a normal word.

 

[pswii60]

Loved the demo. This is totally my sort of game and I won't care what the critics think.

 

[rocketskates]

It's happening

 

[Salty Rice]

Cant wait. This is gonna be easy a GOTY contender.

 

[megathemiis]

We are just a few months in and my 2017 backlog is already starting to pile up. I really enjoyed the demo and I'm looking forward to it.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

There, changed my avatar for the occasion.

One month left, everyone.

 

[overcast]

Let's go. Day one for me.

 

[UrbanRats]

For what it's worth, the release date is listed as "early 2017" on the Squeenix store. Assuming "early 2017" means "before July", it suggests an exclusivity period of no more than three months.

Stealth release 3 months later. Middling initial sales and the circle continues.

I just don't get why they don't say it.
Is it just to capitalize on double dippers? Or is it really so much in high water, the pc port, that they literally don't know? I'm not expecting it to be day and date with the ps4 version at this point, clearly, but i would like to know still, even if it's in goddamn 2018 (i know they said it isn't).

 

[LotusHD]

There, changed my avatar for the occasion.

Hmm, may do an A2 avatar if I ever find a nice one.

 

[Jampsuliini]

YES! Hope the Japanese version has full language support like the Japanese demo had, so I can play this a couple of weeks earlier.

 

[silva1991]

Was the demo even released on PC/Steam?

 

[Hektor]

Was the demo even released on PC/Steam?

Nope

 

[SprachBrooks]

I really enjoyed the demo. Maybe this has been asked to death, but can you play as different characters in certain parts of the game?

There are three playable characters confirmed.
Iirc the Story will dictate who you get to play in which part

 

[WITHE1982]

This has went from just about on my radar to what is probably my most anticipated game this year.

All thanks to a very enjoyable demo and finally playing through NieR for the first time (

Spoiler

only endings C & D left to get

)

Make sure to choose the first option first and keep a save just outside of the final area as there's no reason to do all that again.

 

[True Fire]

It is Gold. It has also gone Gold.

 

[WITHE1982]

Thanks, will do. still need to upgrade about 10 weapons first for the platinum then onto the endings.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Too bad, I can't play this game at launch since I will be in Japan during that time, but great news!

 

[Hag]

Praise 2B and the team

 

[YoRHa No.2 Type B]

This is quite early.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

This is quite early.

The games out in just under 3 weeks in Japan. If anything, this is cutting a retail release pretty close, surely? (or this is about a day 1 patch being done).

 

[Cloukyo]

I pronounce it like Automata? What's the problem here? It's a normal word.

Yeah, this is bothering me, everyone is pronouncing it like Automatic, like they don't know Automata is another word for robot.

 

[NeoRaider]

ya'll peeps better support this

I would but SE doesn't let me...

 

[pezzie]

The games out in just under 3 weeks in Japan. If anything, this is cutting a retail release pretty close, surely? (or this is about a day 1 patch being done).

The Gemetsu noted that Saito said the game actually has gone gold a while ago, but making these twitter announcements seem all the rage these days.

 

[JaseC]

I just don't get why they don't say it.

The bag of money that Sony offered for temporary exclusivity doubles as a gag.

 

[viHuGi]

Fuck the games don't stop coming on PS4, do they?

And this one seems to be shaping up well too?

It's getting kinda crazy.

 

[komorebi]

*draws final breath under mountain of games*

Please carry on in my stead--!

 

[Inuhanyou]

PS4 has too many games.

I'm not even saying it jokingly, its legitimately a problem juggling all these at this point

 

[Clear]

Loved this bit from the Gematsu piece:

Saito noted that the game actually went gold long ago, but decided to announce it considering these sorts of tweets seem to be the latest trend.

Seems that Yoko mode is rubbing off on Saito-san!

 

[butman]

Yeaaahbabyyyy

RIP my wallet.

 

[FrankWza]

Yeah, this is bothering me, everyone is pronouncing it like Automatic, like they don't know Automata is another word for robot.

Not everyone has watched Hugo.

Oh and day 1 for me.

 

[Kyonashi]

Day One and I never played NieR.

Even before the demo I had a gut feeling this game is going to be something special.

 

[Greedings]

Yeah, this is bothering me, everyone is pronouncing it like Automatic, like they don't know Automata is another word for robot.

I don't think I've heard anyone pronounce it out loud. I don't talk about games to anyone though, so that's probably why...

 

[Svejk]

You smell that?... I think the PS4 is on fire.

 

[Shifty]

Salty af about the radio silence on the PC release, but at least it gives me time to enjoy Yakuza 0 and Nioh first.

So many games, send help.

You smell that?... I think the PS4 is on fire.

No extinguisher required.

 

[ShinMaruku]

2b's rear is gold too.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

I'm going to be playing this soon then. Can't wait!

 

[Gai Murakumo]

Nice! Cannot wait.

[kennyamr]

One of my most anticipated games of the year by far.

Can't wait for this one.

2017 is crazy so far.

 

[theangrypirate]

 

[Kojirospath]

Got this shit on preorder. Hype!

 

[Wagram]

I wonder how many Black Boxes they produced. It's sold out on the US store.

 

[J@hranimo]

Please don't let this game fail due to the Switch + Zelda launch...

It's launching first on a console with a 57+ million userbase, it's got more room to do just fine

Now where is that PC release date?
