Yeah this sounds like "Automata" mode from Bayonetta etc."Is this easy mode?" - Dva
NieR not going to save Character Action titles. I like it still, but this doesn't sound promising.
How could substance be added?Flashy as usual but lacks substance
Metal Gear Rising uses exactly this system. It allows you to focus on the bigger picture, like just-dodging and space/positioning control.
So, basically, the same control scheme that Platinum's been rolling with since Bayonetta.

What, come on...Flashy as usual but lacks substance
No, Bayonetta has chains. This does not.
In battle the Square button is for “speed attacks”, the Triangle button for “heavy attacks”, and any additional attacks can be chained together depending on which button is pressed to create a simple yet refreshing battle system.
Speed & Heavy Attacks
...
Simple controls allow you to perform a multitude of attacks!
There are no complex strings of combo attacks; instead, your attack will continue as it registers additional button inputs.
Rising's combat mechanics were even more free form than Bayonetta's, as the action caused by your light attack was immediate and almost inconsequential until timed specifically or put in relation to the strong attack. Bayonetta featured static attack patterns that would reset when any particular existing string was dropped. Both are very forgiving, and P* is my favorite developer for iterating on this mechanic.I was under the impression it did, though it's admittedly not super clear.
Sounds like Bayo's Punch / Kick system to me, but maybe I'm just reading into it too much.

I'm more than okay with this.
Dodge offset please.
What?Managing tricky combo chains while dodging 3D bullet-hell would be too much to handle at once, I'd think. It's not like Bayonetta/MGR/what-have-you where "dodging" is only pushing the dodge button with good timing, though there seems to still be that alongside the bullet-dodging.
So that's Bayonetta "auto-mode" how? The demo is scheduled for the end of the year. It's in the OP. I mean everyone just watch the TGS 2016 stream demo because the combat was pretty much exactly what they were demoing. And to the what, I don't agree with that poster but Bayonetta and DMC don't exactly have the bullet hell element that NieR has is what he's getting at.Bayonetta's combat is not free form.
Maybe I'm reading this wrong and it's more like DMC with just some attacks and no restrictions. When is the demo drop again? I really need to play this before launch...
What?
Did they ever mention if this is a direct sequel for Nier? As in do I need to play the original to understand it? This game sounds amazing, but never played the original.
"There are no complex strings of combo attacks; instead, your attack will continue as it registers additional button inputs."
Just in case you forget this is an RPG first and foremost.
I'm going gauntlet majority of the game. Love giant fists.
This game looks really badss. I, like many others I am sure, missed out on Nier completely. Does the original Nier play/look like this as well? I was under the impression that this is sort of a new direction from the first?
So Nier is the name of the character from the first game? Will he possibly be in this game? I don't know anything about this series, but Nier (the brother) seems like a waste of a character design if they don't have him show up in this one.
This game takes place a very long time after the first Nier. There is no chance of Nier appearing in this game.So Nier is the name of the character from the first game?
