Is PC releasing alongside PS4?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Still not up on the US Store...
Yep, still the same error on US IP's.
Yep, that's how I spent my first minute with the demo...

The demo is great but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I expected the combat to be a bit more elaborate. When I started playing I said "Where is my combo score?".
I guess I just had the wrong expectations and thought it would be closer to a full character action game since it's made by Platinum. But as different as it is compared to the original Nier, it still says Nier on the box. There's sooooo much focus on combat though (if the demo is representative of the full game), that I would have preferred if they made it more like their character action games. It's very similar already anyway.

Can you say which country? Just wondering if PS+ is necessary here in Portugal.

There is a little demon in my head that tells me the game might disappoint in every aspect but combat.
Love the stylish finish to this animation. So destructively calm and graceful. Beautiful!
Before you expect another DeviMayCry you'll get a Yoko Taro game with platinum combat.

You don't need PS+.
.
That stocking is really tight, isn't it?
Doesn't make sense from a creative perspective. If you liked the other Yokotaro games in that way, it'll be hard to disappoint

That shade throwing, shame on you.I mean you expected BvS and SS to be good movies as well right breh
I mean, I have no basis. I only played Nier.

I know I expected the wrong game, my fault. It will be great anyway, just different than I thought. I'm thankful Platinum is developing this, the gameplay in the first one was not that great. And I still remember that terrible jump animation lol.
You said this game will disappoint in every way but the combat. But basically everything but the combat is what makes Yokotaro games special

this is the first time people have even entertained the thought of a Yoko Toro game having good gameplay, so this is already an improvement
Then again, everyone's tastes are different.
People were """"disappointed"""" in Drakengard 3's story/structure/setting but I actually adored it to death and this might be heresy to say in a Nier thread but I think in some ways I liked it more than Nier.

Played some last night. Maybe I was tired but I don't see the hype. The world was bland, combat felt very mashy compared to some of the better action games out there and the camera at times was terrible for the style of game/combat.
I'm really liking it. The only issue I have is 2B's outfit. I like how shall we say stylish some of the moves, animations and finishers can be and the flourish to them.. But why the gap in the skirt so I can see her underwear pretty much all the time? Kinda annoying and puts me off. It's not as bad as Kaine but still. This is something I think my sister would enjoy but seeing something like that straight away may dissuade her
In the UK at least.
Every yokotaro game is different in their feeling but the off kilter uniqueness remains.
Drakengard 3 was bottom of the barrel budget wise, which surely ate a lot into how the game was structured as well.
Those aren't underwear, they are the bottom part of her leotard. Like Sailor moon

Sometime today supposedly. And I think Gravity Rush 2 as well. Can't wait to get home!
Also, game looks great (base PS4).
I actually think that the visuals are pretty fantastic based on what I am seeing. Combined with the gorgeous animations and effects it makes for quite a striking game. Now, if only the demo was up in the US.
Grace Chen time.

I was half expecting you to say you were right in being unsure about the game. Good to hear it's cemented your interest.
It's a leotard.
Actually, that should be the OT title. NieR: Automata |OT| It's a Leotard
Yep, D3 was made with shoestring and pocket lint. It also had a really, really fun combat system that I don't know how it came out so well. Intoner Mode was amazing.

Not just you feel the same way
Just did that. Demo's loading! :>Have a Japanese PSN account? It's free there and the demo automatically starts in German.
It's a Nier thing when the camera zooms out and you are suddenly playing a sidescroller or isometric diablo like game.
I hear people who play hundreads of hours of Character action games and see nothing but flaws in the combat of both bayonetta games and i don't want to have such a problem in my life. I am fine with being a scrub and only starting to learn to get good at these sort of games.

Should be up in the next hour or so based on Square's tweet earlier.
Yeah my expectations weren't that high to be honest. But now that I've plaed it I can definitely say I'm interested.
Does it really matter? Either way I don't want to see it under the skirt. They could have made the skirt a bit longer as well with all the flipping around she does.
You are now less of a sloth than i am so good going.

Nier, Nioh and Horizon in February.
Crazy. Wanted to play For Honor too. Oh well. Good thing Persona got pushed.
I didn't play it yet, so maybe I'm underestimating how basic the combat is, but to people saying they're disappointed because of the combat depth compared to previous Platinum games, surely you mean Bayonetta? MGR didn't have a lot of mechanical depth at all. People didn't like to admit it at the time, but DmC has a lot more combat depth than MGR.
Of course, this doesn't mean anything when you have stuff like the color coded enemies, some pretty uninspired weapons and awful boss fights to go with that, and it didn't stop people from thinking MGR was a much better game, but that's exactly my point here. Combo potential is not the only form of gameplay depth. That boss battle they showed at E3 looks better than any boss fight in MGR, mechanically (imo, of course). And I absolutely love most of the bosses in MGR!
You can't just ignore the whole new layer of combat depth that the bullet hell elements bring, as well as the camera and genre shifting making for interesting gameplay scenarios and bosses.
