NieR: Automata passes 2 million shipments + downloads

Atlus in particular are leaving so much money on the table. Sega ought to put some pressure on them to produce some PC versions.

I think the demo was very impressive and convincing as well.

Nier had a very long tail. I'd been ignoring it until a lot of content makers on youtube pointed out stuff about the first game and how it all links into those terrible Drakengard games on PS2 so I got into it through that (and even played the shitty dragon games also).
It's a cool series and I hope they go and branch off a new series off another game's ending or something instead of doing more stuff with Automata.

I would've asked for a refund on this one, but i didn't buy it off Steam.
Next one i'll avoid for sure, until it's dirt cheap anyway.
I also bought this on sale, for that very reason, but i didn't predict FAR crashing my game after a while, or i would've skipped it.
Too bad, because it was by far my most anticipated game, this year.
Pretty sure it helped yeah, though for me when I saw the art before it was released, immediately brushed it off as another esoteric shallow action game. Oh how wrong I was when I read about the story here on GAF and decided to take the plunge.
*shiver* Two smileys? That passive aggression.Its fab unless you're Capcom or Microsoft on here
Mayhaps dig a little less at GAF and be a little more happy for Yoko Taro 🤗

I think it would have sold far more if the regional chinese pricing wasnt that high.
One of the most important regions lately (most owners of PUBG are from China and that game has regional chinese pricing) and S-E decided to make it more expensive than the $ price in China...
No platinum game other than [k]maybe[/k] metal gear rising has sold this many copies.

Despite one frustrating moment that almost made me drop it, it's among my top games for the generation alongside Bloodborne, MGSV and TW3.

Yeeeeaaaaah boooooooi!
Absolutely true, that + putting the Chinese localization in the PC version would have helped the game quite a bit.

This is literally Platinum's first game to sell good numbers. A Nier sequel. How the hell did that happen.

I still remember in a what to buy andromeda or autamata thread that there were some people telling me NieR was gonna bomb like hell.

it may have had an influence on my purchase as well.
Well deserved, this game will stay in my mind for a long time. The pc version while unoptimized and having
some bugs, did not hamper the experience for me one bit. Though it is sad that Square doesn't seem to care
about their games anymore, once they are realeased,
on pc at least. They could garner so much goodwill,
if they did.

Bayonetta is considered a sales disappointment, explicitly stated by one of the Platinum higher-ups in an interview.
MGR sold really well in Japan but didn't fare too well elsewhere. If it reached over 2 million then that was thanks to some rapid discounts.

If someone said to me that a nier game would reach 1Mil I would have called them crazy. What a world we live in. And I couldn't be happier that taro + platinum get this level of success.

Well deserved...
The game is a real gem. One of my games of the gen.

Oh, my bad! To be fair a whole new BD for Nier seemed like a weird decision, even with its success.
I can't believe it either, it's about time you do
Haha nah it was my fault for writing the incorrect thread title. Regardless though, them putting up that page for NieR and their comments on it (Taro saying it appears there will be various developments for NieR) shows significant dedication to the series going forward.

Why's that?
This damn game is nowhere to be found in Spain, which is weird because the distributor said the game would be available at a reduced price (40) for a few weeks.
You can't find it in Game, neither in Media Markt, FNAC, Amazon or Shop4es. Amazon only has resellers selling the game over full price.
Grabbed it from a trusted Ebay seller for 33 a few minutes ago. It's going to take a while, guess I'll try to finish Bloodborne in the meanwhile.

Great game but i'm not falling for it again.
If they start giving a fuck soon and patch this thing i'll reconsider it,but right now is a big no.
