Odd request, but would any photo editing pros be interested in pasting a suitable 2B profile shot into my avatar to replace Jeff's face?
Here's the source for my original.

what? you know you have 7 days to return a used game there. doubt they have any used copies anyway...
Also if its new copy what are you doing? why would you buy it not open and return it? multiples times.
is this an attempt at sarcasm that if the game is 89 ag score youll return it? and since it goes back to 90 you go to the store and buy it again?

That's 3 reviews in the last 12 hours with a 9 score. Good stuff!
Now how about 1 10 for the sake of 10s
Japanese, but only because the English portrayal of the characters wasn't to my liking.

We'll need EZA or TSA for that.
English because it's good and the voice actor has a sense of humor.

Amazing, that's exactly what I wanted. Thanks!Not sure if this is what you meant
Curious about why Gamekult's review is not referenced in the OP ?
They rated the game 7/10.

Maybe coz they are not counted in Metacritic? Their reviews are off-scale compared to other reviews. A 7 from them is like 8-8.5 from others.

Probably the same reason the other 25 reviews on Meta are not in the OP... The poster isn't going to put every damn review in there. I don't think there is some hidden agenda here.

Same reason there are only 5 10/10 on OP.
No worry, that's not what I meant
I thought the purpose of the thread was the mention every review, 'though (including those 25 others), I suppose it may give the OP an unmanageable amount of (tedious) work searching for links in the whole thread.

They will save that sweet 10 for Persona 5
That's more or less confirmed with the way Ben loses his breath just thinking about the game. Not that I disagree with persona 5 getting a 10/10.
Yup, just sarcasm my friend. Gonna play the hell outta this no matter what.

They already gave a couple of 10s out, it's not as much of a rarity as it was in the GT days.

In a way this has restored my faith in reviewers somewhat.
They don't only give very high marks to safe, big budget games.
Good.

So, is the original required playing before jumping in with this game? I've never played the original, but the idea of a Platinum ARPG is too tempting to pass up. Should I try to hunt down the original first though?

You should not need to play the first, but I would recommend you doing so, if you have the time.

You don't need to. It's very far removed from the original game. It's connected, but by strands instead of ropes.

I thought about this fifty times yesterday.
It's not required playing, but you owe it to yourself to listen to the soundtrack.
I firmly believe that NieR will be remade. All Yoko needs to do is polish it up with Platinum. If Automata only took 2 years to make, a NieR Remake could be released next year.
I also hope we get DLC for Automata. I'd love a Drakengard boss fight. This could be Yoko's chance to sell people on Drakengard too.

i think taro/platinum should go for a new ip after this, instead of a nier remake or drakengard sequel
i'd be all over a totally new IP that's not connected to Nier and Drakengard at all until we find out that it still is.

I would love a new IP from them but I would LOVE a Drakengard 4 now

Making an OG Nier remake would just be a waste of money.

Order of preferrence for Taro's next project:
1. New IP.
- NieR was connected to Drakengard, but in terms of design, it's effectively a new IP and as we can see, it showcased so much new idea and ingenuity. More new IPs in this industry = better and I'd love to see Yoko Taro take on new ideas.
2. New Drakengard.
- Every time I look at Scalebound, I kept thinking "man, this looks like it could work as the skeleton for a new Drakengard." I feel like if they remove the co-op element from Scalebound, scale back the ambition and fidelity that a AAA Scalebound needed and fixed some stuff, it could work as the basic tech for a new Drakengard that explores the world in a slightly more nuanced way, but still with all the dark and crazy of that world.
3. New NieR/remake
- I don't think there's a need for a new NieR or NieR-like experience so soon. Yoko Taro games are extremely harrowing and sticks onto players like glue well after completion, so it's the kind of games that I don't need to experience in short successions. Give me a different emotional beat before going for another similar one, please.

Managed to get NieR. I plan to play it as soon as I finish Horizon.

NieR: Automata walking in the club like
gimme dat 5
Taro should definitely make a new IP but collaborating with Platinum is a must.
From a sales point of view since NieR did well critically and the opening sales in Japan is pretty good, the very same collaboration would only mean much more positive reception right from the start.
That's a good thing.

Also a waste of money. Automata being good will probably generate some interest in the last one but it wouldn't last and the game is easily available.
Yes platinum improved the action parts greatly compared to Nier but people are getting carried away lol

Trap him in a room with the Platinum devs, throw some alcohol in there, and then tell them to get to work lol
