I mean... we all know Souls games are trash, but there's really no reason to bring up Dark Souls 3 right now.

lmao

Jumping light attack with Virtuous Treaty owns.

This is so satisfying to play. Such a stark contrast to a certain other recent action RPG.

 

[Ricker]

It is not available...guess where I am from...

Would of appreciated saying Japan only in the title.

 

[Hazaku]

That was a pretty good demo!

Spoiler

I don't know if I'm strong enough to wait the extra week for the Western release.

Likely to come to the EU and US store?

The Witcher combat hate has got to stop!

damn!

 

[Neoleo2143]

damn!

It's true as hell though.

 

[Menitta]

Damnit...DAMNIT!! CIRCLE BUTTON

 

[DarknessTear]

So smooth. So perfect. This is true Platinum action. Voice acting is solid, too. I'm pleased.

Can't wait to finally have this game in my hands.

 

[Zolbrod]

Damnit...DAMNIT!! CIRCLE BUTTON

Embrace the path of the circle.

You know it to be the one and only truth.

 

[E_Darkness]

Good splash screen.....2Bh......hah haaaahhh!!!

I'm just going to assume that's Tokyo Tower in the background.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

it look interesting =)

 

[MechaX]

Wait...

Is... the voice of that tiny robot DC Douglas?

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Likely to come to the EU and US store?

It's coming to the US Store tomorrow. Don't know about EU.

 

[Neoleo2143]

I like how you can kill yourself by removing the OS chip.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Welp that damage on boss.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Umm... Yeah just from the demo I'm gonna say this is gonna be my favorite platinum game ever.

 

[ponpo]

There are so many backtracking shortcuts you can open, but I'm not sure of the point.

Full game stuff, I guess.

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

That last boss was awesome. What an ending too.

March 7th, 2017.

 

[The Last One]

Just finished the demo. This is the best thing I played coming from Platinum till today.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

It's so smooth, definitely start on hard by the way

 

[duckroll]

Tales of Besteria is that bad huh?

 

[thefatness16]

I played the entire demo wondering if the game would ever tell you how to lock on. Noticed right before I started my second playthrough that lock on is locked to normal and under. Weird choice but I still had a ton of fun. The full game is gonna be great!

 

[dragonzdogma]

Is demo pro ready?

 

[AlexFlame116]

[Mortemis]

Wish I had a PS4 so bad right now 😭

Soon tho, this game is worth a console for me

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Hmm, from an action game perspective it's got some flaws in controls, balancing and depth.

But judging from the posts in this thread this is more of an action RPG, not a character action game. And when looked at from that perspective, it's a pretty great accomplishment.

Gonna go through it again later. Hopefully my position changes a bit on it.

Looks great though, 60 fps to boot.

 

[Aeana]

Finished it. That was really fun. And so smooth. I really can't wait to play the full game.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

wow you guys are fast, i need to get faster connection.

 

[Tcab96]

Okay, Nier. You got me. I'm in.

This is so satisfying to play. Such a stark contrast to a certain other recent action RPG.

No lies detected.

 

[LotusHD]

I can't even lie. The combat in FFXV was the best part for me, yet this demo alone is all like "We can top that." I know, I know, they're doing different things at the end of the day, but man, March cannot get here soon enough.

Also this game's cutscenes are epic as hell lol

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Fuck


nier automata is gonna be so goddamn good

Controls: You do realize you can rebind everything? Otherwise the game is about as tight as I can hope a platinum game to be.

Balancing: I don't feel I could tell that from the demo on hard mode. I don't disagree that could be a concern later on, but it was very satisfying here.

Depth: VashTSB is testing stuff in his stream, some neat with the pods, jump cancels, and certain moves. Depth won't be too much of an issue even if its not as much as other platinum games methinks

 

[jb1234]

As a demo, I wasn't really sold on the game. The forced camera angles were obnoxious, the bullet hell aspects tiring and the location was very samey.

(I also didn't like the first NieR, so...)

 

[Glitter and Gold]

I thought you meant Ys 8 until I remembered FFXV exists

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Oooo i just double checked... i have this pre-ordered from the bestbuy 25 off 100 visa promo... (pretty much pre-ordered everything ps4)

 

[RandomExpletive]

That menu is so MGS3 its bananas

GOD I've never missed having a console more than I do right now

 

[Plywood]

Square is back!

 

[Drewfonse]

So you guys are recommending Hard then? I have played most of Platinum's games. The "restart the demo when you die" part is scaring me.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

after FFXV's godawful combat I needed to play something to remind me good combat exists.

AND JESUS TITTY FUCKING CHRIST IT DOES.

I havent been this enamored by a demo since Skate

If you're a platinum fan, Hard is the way to go.

 

[Anbec7]

Someone record the soundtrack! how long is the demo?

Yep, seems like Nier is in full effect

 

[LotusHD]

Was about 40-50 minutes to me I believe.

 

[Wagram]

The best Square games lately are the ones they're having other developers create under their leadership.

 

[Tohsaka]

Game is really good, if the full game has English text in the Japanese version I might just import it so I don't have to wait.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Up on the US store ... when? Tomorrow?
