It should be noted that on the Pro it still drops frames in quite a few places, and this is at 1080p.

We don't know if it is due to CPU bottlenecking or if it due to poor GPU utilization. A 980 would put it in the same ballpark as the Pro's GPU.

Pro gpu isn't even as strong as a rx 470.

 

[Rhaknar]

A Steam key is included; the only PC SKU on Squeenix's own store is the Steam version. I'll buy you a key myself if I'm wrong.

you can buy me one to make up for the years I've put up with your Australianess. Do you have any idea how hard its been.Damn it JaseC.

 

[SirPinkyNose]

Wait this game is locked from SEA? Can VPN bypass it?
Else I have to turn to other means to obtain the game.

 

[Exentryk]

NieR official twitter said the Steam page for JP will be up soon. That might be when the rest of Asia gets it too.

It just can't be purchased in Asia. You'd be able to activate a region-free gift copy/retail key.

30: no questions asked
35: sure why not
40: after dicking us around on the release date for weeks? I'm going to have to wait for a sale.

and that's the cheaper price too! crazy.

To be fair, their dicking is mostly not being able to properly convey the info regarding the Steam release.
If they'd said they working on it without giving a concrete date, it'd at least let people know it is coming, likewise if they stated that they are working to get the release on Steam to be alongside the PS4 release.
Don't make it sound vague, but make it sound positively vague.

 

[T-Rex.]

Still nothing up on Amazon which is annoying.

 

[ChryZ]

I'm currently playing MGR:Revengeance on PC and it runs so damn nice. It really gives me hope. It seems Platinum knows what they're doing in regard to PC ports.

NieR Automata Steam has a 20% discount on Instant-Gaming. Not sure if they're legit though as I've never bought from them before. Anyone know?

Just 1 of a dozen grey market sites. Looks like it doesn't have the hottest reputation.

If you're going grey market I'd probably wait and see if other sites get it first.

I'm waiting on GMG as I've never had issues with them. But if it becomes too much of an issue, I'll just buy directly from Steam.

 

[KainXVIII]

Found Nier:A for 1799₽ (region locked for Russia of course), but don't know if this site is reliable..

[Corpekata]

I am weirded out this is getting a physical release for these gray market sites to abuse in the first place, really.

 

[5olid_5nake]

Damnation, I was hoping for a smaller price on steam, but it's too expensive currently for my pocket unfortunately.
Let's hope that steam has some kind of spring sale.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Any advice on the cheapest place so far? Seems like it's mostly the same everywhere

 

[Funyarinpa]

Started to watch a NieR LP to catch up before Automata hits.

edit: Would anyone be interested in an LttP?

 

[Wonder Peter]

So any good deal in Europe to buy this?

I would enter any NieR related so count me in.

Really? 27% off is tempting, especially since I'm not exactly in the mood to reward S-E.

Seeing a decent handful of people getting invalid keys and getting shit (as in, none, really) customer service.

Which, I mean, is common for these sort of sites. So if I were going to brave that avenue, I'd wait for the more reputable ones, who will likely end up with similar prices.

The pre-order stuff just went up on a Friday, I bet we'll start to see a decent trickle of deals during the week, especially after the console version releases.

Nice! Will post as long as a mod approves that such a thread (LP-based LTTP) is A-OK.

BTW, watched a playthrough of the Automata demo and it's... a religious experience.

You're in for a ride on both games especially automata since it solves every major flaw thr original game had.

 

[MartyStu]

Will wait for sale @ $30 - 40.

I need to really love a developer/publisher to pay $60 for a game and while I love Platinum, I am tired of getting jerked around by square.

It's a key.

 

[Durante]

Yeah, I'll wait until the end of the week to make any decision for sure. I hope for a nice 20% GMG discount.

 

[Apparition]

No Japan, typical.

I hope it won't be regionally locked on Steam.

Spoiler

I bet it is

 

[KainXVIII]

Is this key or gift?

Yeah, its a key as stated above, not sure about pre-order bonuses though..

 

[Ganado]

If GMG adds a discount to the game later, would full price purchasers get a partial refund or something?

 

[JaseC]

Is this key or gift?

There's not much of a distinction to make in this case as Squeenix created heavily region-locked packages for Eastern Europe and a handful of other countries, so unless you happen to reside in one of the listed countries, a key intended for Russian users and a gift copy purchased in Russia are equally useless.

 

[K.Jack]

Think one day someone should collaborate some data why that is, I think the high profilleration of purpose built gaming PCs in Europe and the general affection of the European market for more niche Japanese games (including those with anime artsyle) definitely plays a role.

Still unsure whether or not I should get the game for my laptop or buy a Japanese physical copy to bring back home to my PS4, CPU is not a problem here but my GPU is the equivalent of a GTX 770 so I feel pretty uncomfortable with it being in the minimum requirements...

The 770 smashes the PS4's GPU, there's no way it can realistically be the minimum GPU, that can barely run this game.

What are your laptops specs?

 

[Yappadappadu]

There is. I was playing X-2 HD with PS icons, and that mod works for X-HD too. Find the mod thread from Kaldien.

Good to hear, thanks.

 

[NeoRaider]

It's a key.

Thanks.
They deliver the key on 17th right?

Yes, i am in Montenegro.

Ah.

Yes.

 

[Durante]

Heh, the physical PC version is #1 in PC RPGs at Amazon.de.
It's not even cheap - if anything it's really expensive for a physical PC game at €60.

That doesn't make me all that happy. It is great that the game is getting all this validation but SE will learn all the wrong lessons from this.

 

[Anteater]

man why is Nier the only new release without a discount on gmg

first time since ever that I want to buy a game day 1 that isn't an old port

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Its like 43€ on Instantgaming.

 

[tuxfool]

Its like 43€ on Instantgaming.

That's more like it, even though they charge 2€ for Paypal.

 

[Nillansan]

It would be wonderful if Square Enix could release some more information regarding the PC port of Nier Automata. I tried to reach out to the community manager that posted the pre-order announcement on Steam. No dice as of yet.

I doubt they will say anything tbh.

 

[manakel]

So glad it's coming on steam so soon! I had an absolute blast with the ps4 demo. Does anyone know if it will have 3440x1440 support?

Nobody knows anything about the PC port except that it's coming on Steam on 17th March.

 

[cwistofu]

Is that a trustworthy site?
EDIT: Nevermind.

 

[Ryu bogard]

Are physical pc games region locked? I have not bought physical pc games in years.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Please don't pass on this one PC players, this is one game that needs your support
