How it feels picking between two GOATs:

Sorry Nier, but RE2 for me.

Remake or not, REmake 2 is the better game
There is lot to like about Nier: Automata but it's a boring game, sorry.

If that is your definition of boring, your life must be fucking insane.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I chose Joust RE2!

 

[Shifty1897]

I'm playing Nier Automata at the moment and enjoying every minute of it. Brilliant game. Easy vote for me.

Oh wow, you haven't finished it yet? The best is yet to come.

I love both games but Nier made me feel things in video games for the first time since The Last of Us.

 

[En Sama]

I am going with Nier: Automata because it is original and although I loved Resident Evil 2 Remake it was as it says a remake.

 

[-MD-]

Resident Evil 2 and it's not even close.

 

[Oddspeak]

It's annoying that these two games are paired up despite having pretty much nothing in common.

But this is the first one of these that's actually a hard decision for me.

 

[New Yorks Finest]

Easiest polls ever..keep pumpin' em.

RE2, all day every day!!

 

[Sticks]

All these clone accounts voting on Nier smh

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

All these clone accounts voting on Nier smh

You think someone would that? lol. It would be nice if OP would let us see who votes for what though.

 

[sid2vicious]

This is the toughest choice I made on this poll so far, I love them both equally, but I'm gonna go with the underdog Nier on this one.

 

[SoraNoKuni]

Well Nier is the better game overall, but RE2 was so great and it's megaton so it's a shame Nier stops here.

 

[Shifty1897]

Resident Evil 2 Remake is an amazing game in a franchise of amazing games. Nier: Automata is its own thing and it should get credit for that.

 

[GametimeUK]

Resi 2 remake for me. Performance on PC for Nier was a joke, but Resident Evil was buttery smooth. From my short time with the console versions I'd say Resi performs better too.

Even with that to side, I still think Resident Evil 2 was better. Nier was great too, but only one can win. It's a no brainer for me.

 

[Aion002]

I love Nier Automata.... But RE2R is a masterpiece.

 

[JORMBO]

Both great games. Nier is my favorite game this generation so I am going to go with that.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

So fucking close!!!

More kat 2b pictures

 

[Lux R7]

RE 2 for sure

 

[Wunray]

Nier for me but they are both great games.

 

[martino]

Come on nier ! you can do it !

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Both great games. Nier is my favorite game this generation so I am going to go with that.

You disgrace your waifu.

 

[Zambatoh]

This was a really tough choice to make, but I voted Nier.

REmake2 was great, but it's half finished.
Nier Automata has a few performance issues and the occasional crash bug, but is overall a complete and finished game with silky smooth combat.

 

[ZehDon]

REmake2 for me. Reminded me why I loved survival horror, and Resident Evil, in the first place <3

How's it half finished?

 

[Zambatoh]

How's it half finished?

The B-route is missing. The "2nd Run" mode only changes the intro, but otherwise follows the same story path as A-route.
As such, Leon and Claire's story events and boss fights tend to overlap each other, when they did not in the original game.

 

[Chiggs]

Ooh, this one is neck and neck. I picked RE2.

 

[GHG]

All the frauds exposing themselves by voting for RE2.

Shame it isn't all like that.

Like I said, that's great and all but then you got the long walk about segments and talking..bla, bla, bla, I was falling to fucking sleep
I ended up hating going to that Robot tree village.
I even got that 160 pound Collectors Edition because of those dam gameplay clips you guys show off and based on the demo.
But the full game? A lot boring segments

 

[Shrap]

I've had it with these motherfucking anime games on these motherfucking polls

Just because they changed it around doesn't mean it's unfinished.

It is like that.

Find weapons, find/install/arrange chips, have fun.

RE2. Don't understand the complaints about "fair" matchup. This is an overall tourney, not a genre specific tourney. If it was a bunch of genre specific subtourneys competing for GoT we would be voting on genre of the year, not GoT.

 

[LarknThe4th]

This is far too close for my liking, c'mon Resi!!!

 

[Golgo 13]

Nier Automata is one of the best RPG's ever made, although both are good games, Nier takes the cake if you've got the patience to play through the game to see all the endings (which not many people do).

 

[Labolas]

Nier Automata for sure but RE2R is great

 

[SEGA_2012]

Lets go Remake 2 ! Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

 

[Camreezie]

They were both damn good but I feel like Automata should take this as it's not a remake

 

[Thing on a Spring]

They were both damn good but I feel like Automata should take this as it's not a remake

This is also my feeling. They're both awesome games but we've seen RE2 before. Granted, it's a fantastic remake but Nier: A is original. My vote for NA.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

3 votes MORE!!!

What?
Did you even read a single word of what I said?
I said nothing about them changing anything. "Changing" things isn't the problem. The problem is that half the story is missing.

It's changed from the original because it's not exactly the same. That's what change means

The remake isn't "unfinished" because it's not exactly the same as the original.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Well this is intensely close

 

[Zambatoh]

You clearly have a problem with reading comprehension. What's changed and what's missing are two completely different things.
Missing content is not change. Missing content is missing content. Especially when the story clearly expects an alternate route to be told at some point, but was cut at the last minute due to time constraints.
