Sold, but the way the lock-on works I don't like it at all
LMAOOO okk ty im so dumb
Yes thank you. Will play after work! Come on Christmas vacation.
Somebody send me the right ones.
If people wonder what other bosses can look like the E3 trailer is pretty good

How it look on og? Looks stunning on pro and is very fluid.

No, and its pretty much unbroken unless you stop for combat or pickup items, and maybe climb vertical ladders.
Looks great and runs smoothly on OG.

Nier, Nioh and Horizon in February.
Bruh, I'm scared. So scared. Makes me so glad Persona 5 was delayed to April now.

Can we assume full game has English text and subs for JP release?

It's usually like that for Platinum releases really.
So much this, AND you left out Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and Yakuza 0 both on the same day in January (24th). Pumped for most of these!
Also buy Yakuza 0 gaf you won't regret it.

IIRC they said there would be 3 playable characters but only 2B has been shown in trailers/demonstrations so far.
Thanks.
To me this was a second demon's souls. Friends raved enough for me to try it out and I was hooked. Glad to see that at least GAF is rabid enough for it. Always assumed it was a small core of a handful of people typing really hard ^^
Furi was fun so that was kinda sad yes

I wonder if 9S and A2 have different hand-to-hand attacks.

Nice.
So that just leaves A2.
Maybe it will be like Nier where there will be an eventual party of 3 travelling around?

That was fantastic. Love the feel and fluidity of the combat, and the seamless hybrid of genre/gameplay. So the full game is an open world RPG? With this kind of combat?
I know that Bayonetta 2 did. Wouldn't surprise me if this one is the same.

Yeah they've never shown gameplay of the other girl, only cutscenes where she's like crying or something, lol. I'm assuming there's something up with that. Hoping she is playable because she looks rad
I really enjoyed the demo. I'm a bit iffy on some things, if this dungeon is representative of the final game there's gonna be some heavy asset reusage and it's not the most beautiful looking environments (even if it makes sense why in the world). The boss fights weren't my favorite thing in the world but that's generally the case in Platinum games (unless it's like a duel or something, not a huge fan of their giant boss fights). That singing boss they've shown off looks incredible though so I'm hype for more of that
Animations are incredible, combat is amazing, game looks very nice on regular PS4. I'd like to bind shooting to L1 though, having both dodge and shooting on the right side isn't the most intuitive thing
Yip yip.
Open world would mean a big, connected overworld with cities and some more linear dungeons, if the first game is anythign to go buy.

My jaw hit the floor when
2B in the mecha suit picked up the giant robot arm and started fighting with it.

Open wolrd in the sense of NieR?
Oh my god, I'm loving everything about this. I really, really hope the game gets a simultaneous release on PC cause this is going to look amazing in 1440p, but even if it doesn't, I'll just get the PS4 version day one.
About evading - what's happening when your character sort of multiplies for a second when evading an attack? Is it just there to tell you that you evaded the attack succesfully at the last second, and if it wasn't for the invincibility frames, you would've taken damage?
e: also I spent a small time trying to learn to evade properly - thank god for automatically used healing items when your hp hits zero lol.

I think I will stick to hard mode when playing full game. I don't even remember to use lock on at all during my normal play through.
Same. I'm not really a fan of how the lock-on works in this game so I just didn't use it.

If it's like Nier 1 (and certain SE streams kinda looked like it), it's going to have a Zelda-esque overworld and progression.

Problem is, it seems we're seeing the same 3 environnements over and over... I really hope they're hiding the good stuff otherwise the game will be limited in term of environnements.

Yeah I didn't understand lock-on at all
Seems like it's mainly for the shooting which I feel like the fun comes from aiming while fighting

All the buttons are rebindable in game.
They showed off a big ass desert before so the areas will certainly be huge and open.

I figured as much. I just wanted to play through the demo once "as intended" in case the control scheme took a turn or something later on (but it didn't)
There's also an actual forestforest.
We also have yet to see anything of the funfair.
i bet they don't show anything of that because it's the final area per playthrough .

Really enjoyed the combat. The enemy and world design is a bit sparse but I was expecting that.
My only actual complaint is that the boss fight wasn't very good due to the crazy amounts of invisible walls everywhere.
I get that they wanted to lock the cool moments after a bit of profession, but the pacing of the boss fight was way off.
Which is strange to see in a Platinum game because MGR nailed the overall progession of boss fights so well.
Here I was waiting for the next trigger to kick in.

Wow, this feels really great. It's like a combination of Final Fantasy Type 0, Metal Gear Rising and Furi. I love the perspective switching between side-scroller, top-down, and free camera...it makes otherwise linear level design feel constantly fresh. I really like the score also. Feb/Mar 2017 is going to be a great time for character action games.

why can't I get my launcher to come out
Which one?
I reckon the boss we've seen is from there.
I can get one out by dodging and hitting triangle immediately after, but there's supposed to be a back+forward square one that I can't get
