NieR: Automata |OT| "I wouldn't expect too much from this game if I were you."

I just came to terms with the fact that, unless I just straight up stop using youtube, I'll get spoiled on things.

I didn't look up Persona or click any Persona-related videos on youtube for many months, exactly to avoid having it in my history and influencing the recommendations. And yet, watching a video on the historical context of Nioh, I got a PERSONA 5 FINAL BOSS video recommended to me.

I just give up, there's no winning that battle anymore, might as well just stop caring about spoilers.

this same thing happened to me with Nioh's final boss. im trying to avoid as many spoilers as possible and there it is, name in ALL CAPS in the title and his picture as the preview image. i dont get why its so hard for the video creators to use a little tact

If you use chrome Video Blocker is a great extension. Its what I generally use to literally block out specific channels. Or other irritating shit like youtubers faces. Basically it blocks said channel so it does not appear any more until you remove the block yourself. Really useful.

Are you supposed to
lose the large sword
after the first mission, or did I fuck up?

I didn't
have it equipped
so I didn't notice right away.

I think so? I don't know if there's
a secret way to keep it or something but I know I didn't have it either afterward, which I guess made sense to me since 2B stabbed it in the walking factory cookie monster's eye and left it there. (It was that seord was it? Couldn't exactly tell. xP) Later you get a message from command that you could get it back if you revisit the place I believe, though, so yeah.
 
5 hours left, nice.

Assuming the PSN store updates right at 9AM their time.

That makes no sense. Why would they hype it up for 23rd Feb when it would be out on 7th March?

I could be wrong and the two game sites I checked could just be posting the press release without proper vetting of info.

Will double check tomorrow, so deleted my post.

No worries, do let us know what you find!

Man false info spreads so quickly in this thread.

...

So are they going back on what it says here?

It specifically states that its releasing for $428 HKD on February 23rd...

I guess the logic is: "people entering the video to complain still count as clicks".

Wow, I guess there's still hope!

Thanks!

In this day and age of spoilers everywhere and other stupid videos / channels etc highly useful lol. That and the YT comment blocker makes the overall YT experience far better thats for sure.
 
Nobody is saying this. Stop helping this misinformation spread.

One person said something to the effect, and retracted it because it was unverified. My goal is simply to debunk this officially, rather than letting the rumor sit.

To assuage the fears of fellow HK importers, I've yet to see a non-Feb-23rd Asia Release Date.

On the official Playstation Hong Kong product page for the game, it's still listed for the 23rd as well.

Also the store is not going to magically update at 9am HK time, that is a minimum time you can expect it to go up.

Exactly, it would be 9AM at the earliest, 7PM at the latest.

Stupid request, but could the folks spoilering their entire post maybe just put a general un-spoiled note?

e.g. Costume Spoiler:
insert spoiler about costumes

Holy fucking balls, that opera fight. What in the hell?

I just got through that too lol.

And yes. THAT was fantastic. So Nier, yet so so Platinum!! And so shiny. Complete eyecandy. Definite highlight so far, that was just pure fun.

Also is anyone using English voices and if so how is it? Currently using the Japnese VAs but might want to try the english ones later if I get curious/bored.

I don't want to skip them the first time.. only if I have to watch them again because of deaths. I don't play RPGs to skip cutscenes :p

Ok fair enough lol. I haven't died yet but then again I am on Normal difficulty.

This game has a lot of humor, it's pretty great. I also love the Operator quips with 2B, amazing.

The original Nier had quite a bit of humor as well, it's what really props up the more sadder and fucked up bits of the game, but people rarely mention it in favor of gushing about the more darker/weirder stuff.

Glad to see it's still around.

6 hours in, this game is so far everything i've hoped for.

Of course the story can still end up disappointing, but so far it's very intruiging and i got a lot of stuff running through my head, heh

Do you see potential for the cast to become kaine/wiess/nier/Emil tier?

Its the reason i love it so much. I played nier cause PG were doing nier:A, but at some point in the game i was just like "Wow i hope PG dont fuck this up now". The gameplay in nier is great IMO, it didnt have to be deep, there was constant banter in the background that made it entertaining.

And yes. THAT was fantastic. So Nier, yet so so Platinum!!

This is the potential i see in this game. I felt platinum topped themselves for life with Bayo 2 chapter IV, but then this fight which is bullet hell/nier with platinum style....

guys give us impressions. How is the side quests? Do you get new moves for weapons? How is the level design? Bosses are good?

Side quests so far a run of the mill stuff, new moves i haven't seen yet, level design ranges between alright to really good, bosses so far were good but not mind blowing, tho i've only seen the first two yet.

There's funny banter and charm to them, primarily 9S but they're not on that level yet.

Before giving your impressions please tell us if you are a fan of the First Nier :p

That trailer of the fight has nothing on the full fight, wow. So fun.

Hype levels rising.....
 
what i don't understand is why the game is not listed at all on the HK store? There's persona 5, horizon, mass effect, but no NIER...

i hope i didn't waste my monney, 4 hours left!

HK store are really bad, most of the other region stores stepped up the game in ps4 era, but this kinda weirdness is still present on the HK store.
Don't worry about it, it will be uploaded manually soon.

Thanks for replying, but I have more questions: In side quests, do you fight unique enemies? How is the cut scenes?
