Uh, is there no continue button? I died and went straight to the beginning.

You can't save in the demo, and there's no checkpoints.

 

[Croash]

Gonna wait a bit to play it at work (game dev studio + lunch break = fun times) with colleagues just as excited as me.

Must... Resist...!

 

[duckroll]

Uh, is there no continue button? I died and went straight to the beginning.

We were strangers,
Starting out on a journey.
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through.
Now here we are,
And I'm suddenly standing,
At the beginning with you.

No one told me I was going to find you,
Unexpected, what you did to my heart.
When I lost hope,
You were there to remind me.
This is the start.

And life is a road that I wanna keep going,
Love is a river I want to keep flowing.
Life is a road, now and forever.
Wonderful journey.
I'll be there when the world stops turning.
I'll be there when the storm is through.
In the end I wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you.

Yep, arcade as shit. 1cc that stuff.

 

[True Fire]

Music rips when?

EDIT: THE BATTLE THEME IS A REMIX OF THE SONG OF THE ANCIENTS

 

[jayu26]

US STORE WILL HAVE IT?

yes

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Type B control scheme FTW

 

[Menitta]

About the same level of quality I'd say right now. The dodge counter is goddamn sweet.

Excellent. As good as one of my favourite games last gen is good for me.

 

[Raptor]

Yep, arcade as shit. 1cc that stuff.

lol.

Im waiting for the no hurt runs.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Gonna stream , this no lock on bs sounds dumb

[Dragonslayer_023]

This demo was SO GOOD. AHHHHHHHH.

 

[AlexFlame116]

EDIT: THE BATTLE THEME IS A REMIX OF THE SONG OF THE ANCIENTS

WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!

I need this demo now!!!

 

[Noctis3]

This game is amazing...

 

[lovely ladies]

If this demo doesn't sell people on this game... wow is all I could say.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

I thought I heard a little bit of that in there but I wasn't sure.

 

[Toki767]

Finished the demo. It was pretty great. Definitely picking up the game.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Lmao ok so very hard is one hit, would of been usefull to have English before that selection

 

[Neoleo2143]

Yeah, don't bother with Very Hard on the demo. It's not really fun to put the player through constant loading screens right now with no continue screen.

 

[Papercuts]

Hard has no lock on, very hard is no lock on and 1 hit death.

 

[Menitta]

I'm still working on No Damage Very Hard Jetstream Sam fight. No way I'll start on Very Hard on this lol.

There's really no lock on? Weird.

 

[adamsapple]

Page ain't loading for me

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Hard has no lock on, very hard is no lock on and 1 hit death.

time to never play those modes!

 

[piccio_ssl]

what i'm missing here? i can't go further than the main menu

edit. lol ok got it

 

[Jiraiza]

Yeah, don't bother with Very Hard on the demo. It's not really fun to put the player through constant loading screens right now with no continue screen.

Yeah, going back to the start screen on every death kinda sucks. Fun as hell though.

 

[Opto]

is that an MGS3 menu!?

 

[LotusHD]

If this demo doesn't sell people on this game... wow is all I could say.

FFXV despite its issues was my GOTY, and this demo alone already has me forgetting about it. I need this game now...

 

[ponpo]

Damn, good demo.

The mech flyin part before you steal the arm in the last battle was cool visually.

 

[Aeana]

This is so satisfying to play. Such a stark contrast to a certain other recent action RPG.

 

[True Fire]

what i'm missing here? i can't go further than the main menu

Ending F: you have to destroy your copy of the game in order to save 9S

 

[Neoleo2143]

Yeah, going back to the start screen on every death kinda sucks. Fun as hell though.

Yeah, I'd say Hard is my kind of difficulty to start off, just enough to keep me on my toes and learning new things about everything but just lenient for me to soak it all in in all its glory. I still can't believe I'm playing a Nier game with gameplay by Platinum.

 

[oneofthose]

has there been a gaf thread of someone being upset that the main character is fighting in high heels yet?

 

[Rainy]

Probably going to make a JP PSN account but since I'm curious when does it go up in the US store?

 

[Neoleo2143]

has there been a gaf thread of someone being upset that the main character is fighting in high heels yet?

Well She's basically skating around on heels. It's so ridiculous it swings around to being cool.

 

[Zomba13]

Finished the demo. Feels amazing to play and I can't wait for the full release and more weapons.

 

[raven777]

 

[Jiraiza]

Well, okay, turns out falling walkways can kill you.

 

[Wvrs]

I know absolutely nothing about this game. Never played the first, haven't seen a single trailer or even a screenshot, don't know what the gameplay is about. Nothing.

Got this demo on download, should be interesting...

 

[Hentailover]

Not terribly fond of the huge focus on ranged and projectiles.
Like, I get dodging them in some elaborate boss battle, but so many battles are just enemies spawning projectiles in front of them in your direction...

 

[Mexen]

huh... the menu is giving me metal gear vibes

is that an MGS3 menu!?

I thought I was the only one who noticed

 

[plasmawave]

The game is smooth AF. Also the music is ace.

 

[Inuhanyou]

sounds like nier to me.

 

[Sealtest]

Just finished the demo, this is that Bayonetta fix I needed after Bayonetta 2.
( By fix I mean that smooth Platinum combat system )

 

[More_Badass]

Game looks at least to have some bullet hell DNA

 

[ponpo]

Jumping light attack with Virtuous Treaty owns.

Did you play the first NieR?

The series has strong bullet hell elements.

 

[Hentailover]

I wasn't terribly fond of nier's combat so I never really got to where that's really the case, as early game didn't really have that.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

This is so satisfying to play. Such a stark contrast to a certain other recent action RPG.

I mean... we all know Souls games are trash, but there's really no reason to bring up Dark Souls 3 right now.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

This is so satisfying to play. Such a stark contrast to a certain other recent action RPG.

Ho ho ho the shade.

 

[PensivePen]

Gameplay feels and looks good. Using bare-hands to fight was pretty fun too, want to look into the menus more and see if there are more gameplay options I didn't see. I need to play it more tomorrow to see if there's more to combat, but the moveset definitely seems really limited in the demo. Hoping you can unlock alternate attack strings in the full game.

 

[Inuhanyou]

I wasn't terribly fond of nier's combat so I never really got to where that's really the case, as early game didn't really have that.

yeah, nier relies heavily on bullet hell spams from enemies, its the "unique featureTM"
