Yeah i don't believe him before the game even releases lol
But then he hates doing the same stuff twice, so maybe the depressing thing of the game will be something else.

I am more interested what the humans
are, if they are og humans or if they are possessed replicants or something.

I don't get you, he literally said they are
robots build by aliens
. I haven't played Drakengard 1 but in 3 or NieR that really isn't happening.

It comes from a chapter on the Nier Drama CD where
Earth is invaded by Aliens and Emil fights them

I only read the part where
the robot from NieR joins the androids and manages to force an armistice and then merges with them while they sing "praise the Lord" in Hebrew (הַלְּלוּיָהּ) and travel around the galaxy. It was so fucking weird :D
 
The combat looks so amazing. I also like that you have full control over the direction of your dodges. The dodge animation looks really smooth as well. If Persona 5 wouldn't exist, this would be my most wanted game for 2017.
 
Looked great, always had confidence in it with the platinum name attached.
Hell even if they still went with jank for combat I would have lapped it up.
I drink Yoko Taro's koolaid.
 
My only issue with what has been shown is that your moveset seems to far outstrip the capabilities of the enemies.

I hope there is a big jump in speed of enemy attacks and aggression the higher you go up in difficulty.

not really, they are shades of people that want to possess innocent replicants. I am glad they got killed off, I really hate them.

shades are the original humans. Replicants are just vessels that got a sentient later on (at first they were mindless). Shades are literally just trying to get back into their bodies, because that was how the Project Gestalt worked. Separate the shade (like the soul) from the infected humans and put them back into a new non-infected body.

By killing the shade you kill the real human.

Also, Replicants can't procreate, neither can't coexist without a sane shade because they get the Black Scrawl. By killing shades you fuck up humanity.

EDIT: Also, shades are agresive cause they're relapsing due to Gestalt Nier, thehey re not bad.

Yeah, since I am such a NieR freak I will have to buy it even though I am not a big fan of statues but I guess I will have to make an exception.

Yeah I will have to get it as well! I need it!

I wish there were other editions of the original NieR, like special editions.



OMG this music!!!
 
This music! Dat Keiichi Okabe. The first soundtrack was so damn good, glad he's back.Is Emi Evans back too?

Edit: YUP. This is a damn NieR sequel.
 
So it's the whole song from the E3 trailer then.


I only have one concern from everything I have seen, which is really saying something, but how useless the AI looks for the non-player character.

I know all that (you made some mistakes though), I still hate them
and I am glad Nier wiped them out, they didn't deserve to live.
 
Anyone else notice that the stage opened up just as the footage cut off?

I guess it gets even crazier from that point since it seemed that the bullet patterns were getting more elaborate as the fight went on.
 
Dat Boss design...
Dat High Speed Platinum Action
Dat Music

Boss battle in sync with BGM? Sold.
It already has been sold to me for a long time.

Also, I'm pretty sure that was Emi Evans in the first part of the song.

I'm sure she wasn't. Didn't sound like her at all.
