Should they really?
My point being is that Nier's masterpiece isn't visible to the general media outlets.

Alright GAF, time to give me a push: Horizon Zero Dawn or Nier Automata?

Both look really amazing, but if I could only buy 1 for me it would be Horizon Zero Dawn.

I like Platinum better. So Nier.
THIS IS WHY PLATINUM AT THE HELM OF AUTOMATA IS FUCKING HUGE.
The original Nier has a fantastic story, but the gameplay is not great. With platinum (whom have proved on numerous ocassions they know how to make combat mechanics) with Yoko Taro focusing on the story, yeah Automata is going to excell.
But NieR had a playable Demo
Hold up..
Earlier today, english language was confirmed for the JPN release
Based on your preferences I think Nier would be a more direct match, but I don't think you could go wrong with either. I don't know how the combat will feel in HZD, but Nier seems top tier from the demo.
It's a great time for PS4 gaming. Horizon Zero Down, Nier, Yakuza 0, Nioh, Gravity Rush 2.

It's been confirmed that just like the demo, you can buy the Japanese version of the game and still get to play it in English. So yea, that includes both subtitles and the english dub.
Not really fair. Nier became a cult classic in spite of its combat; people loved both the OST and story. Now you have Nier Automata, whose combat is being handled by PlatinumGames, while still having the same people work on both the OST and story. You look at gameplay from Nier, and gameplay from Nier Automata, and the difference is as clear as day. It's miraculous that this game even exists.

I'd say Nier Automata would be the more interesting, but less polished experience. If the story's as good as the original Nier, buy it instead of Horizon easy. If you like Platinum Games, buy it instead of Horizon.
why must we have wars between great games
Because OP asked.

Wow, this is more one-sided than I thought it would be for real.....
Please don't, I don't need another dust collector in my house. Only if my wife really, REALLY wants one...
I have too many games I haven't even played yet.

Yeah, I played through endings A-B, then missed an item and never got around to playing through endings C-D. I need to go back and play through those again at some point though (as soon as I get the game back from my friend that borrowed it almost 2 years ago, lol)

I feel like there's no reason to choose between two good games in this day and age. You don't have to get both at once. Get one now, and pick up the other one on sale when you have time to play it then.

Nier, if only because it needs the support now whereas HZD will quickly recoup its development costs.
Tough choice then! I'm personally buying both, but if I could only get one, I think it would be Horizon. I LOVE Nier, but I've already played that type of game, and I'm interested to try something a little more different.
If you want a game that's on the more safer side, where you're more likely to click with it, I'd say go with Horizon.
Nier on the other hand, due to its more experimental nature, is a much less safe game, but if it clicks, it's going to click like a motherfucker.
Given your tastes, you probably won't go wrong with going with either one of them.

Nioh.
GAF and Platinum go hand in hand
Sometimes even stronger than with Sony
Basically this.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Nier.
Just because you know it will have better music.

Maybe I'm a super cynical consumer, but I plan to get Horizon first, because I feel like Nier price will drop much much faster, so I'll get it on sale sooner than later.

I'm bias to Nier so was easy for me but one point for people who aren't favouring either game is that Nier automata is a lot more likely in need of a sale then horizon so supporting that would be more felt then buying horizon. Of course, it comes down to personal preference. Horizon ranks below zelda,persona and Nier so I'm getting that game late summer at the earliest.

Sounds like Nier for you given your love of those types of games vs like if Horizon type games.
Horizon for me as I didn't like the Nier demo at all and don't like action games in general or Platinum games specifically.
My gaming priorities are Horizon, Mass Effect and then Zelda. I'm unsure on Persona 5. I liked P4G but I'm not sure I'm in the mode for that kind of game (or that long a game after those 3) this spring.
