ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
He made a ban bet with Duckroll about the game not getting delayed. If it is, he'll be baned for just as many days as the length of the delay iirc

So.... if the PC version was cancelled (which isn't happening), does that mean it's a permaban?

Also, despite all this frothing about release dates on PC, wouldn't it perhaps be wiser to try and find out how bare-bones the port is before getting too hyped and cancelling PS4 pre-orders?

With the PC I have, it's extremely rare for any kind of PC release, no matter how barebones, to not be the best choice. Same probably goes for a lot of PC gamers around here.

I mean even if it's 1:1 with the PS4 version, locked framerate and resolution and all, I'd rather have it on PC.
 
Has a platinum game ever had a quality PC port though? MGR's was not great.

All of the Activision releases were fine, and I want to say MGR's was patched into running well. I know when I picked it up, it was great.

Do I need to have played the original NieR to play NieR:Automata?

There's a lore section on the Nier:A website to catch you up, or you can look at the videos this lovely person, Clemps, has produced.

OK, now that the PC and PS4 versions will be release simultaneously in Europe, will the physical PC copies have that t-shirt as well?

Dunno bout you guys but I'll just grab the PS4 English Asian edition which is coming out in 1-2 days.

As much as it pains me to say this, having looked through all to Nier related social media accounts, none of them acknowledge the PC releasedate in any form. This is just weird all around

I think it's safe to say people who are posting here might want to wait for the PC version.

Why wait when I can get it so soon? :D

Besides, if it sucks I'll just tell you guys.

Maybe my crazy theory that valve and Sony have worked out some sort of deal similar to Xbox play anywhere is true and is announced at gdc :)

Yes, also I don't see any reason for them to create two versions of the trailer, one with Steam release date and one without. You would think that they would make a separate trailer.

Didn't the PC announcement and its initial release date announcement also happen in Gamescom (aka under SE-Europe's watch)? I wonder if all this miscommunication is just coming from their European branch?

I think SE has had that trailer ready to go for awhile, then they changed their mind for PC release. Released their trailers and press release but forgot to take down the "old" trailer with Steam release date which the press got ahold of.

Now, perhaps someone in the press can get a solid answer out of them.

Talking about getting back to reality and then posting this. Smh.
Yea, did you miss the part where i say "crazy" theory. Anyways you are talkin about Sony buying some sort of marketing/ timed exclusivity for a niche game after it has already been announced for pc which is not realistic when they already enough things in this quarter to market/promote as exclusives. Besides, buy once play on both has happened in the past with portal 2 but then the experiment was dropped. I am just speculating they might revisit that and I know it is "out there"
