In March 2017, Yoko and Platinum Games released Nier: Automata. It came out at perhaps the worst possible time, right next to the spectacular PS4 game Horizon: Zero Dawn and the all-time classic The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild—“Being sandwiched between Zelda and Horizon was just way too much for me to handle,” Yoko said—but it was a success nonetheless, drawing critical acclaim and selling far better than anyone had expected.
NieR: Automata has received a surprise update, version 1.07, on the PS4, which appears to have resolved a major bug that has long troubled the game.
Which is great news nonetheless, the previous patch came out 7 years ago and no one expected the devs to fix the game anymore! I've actually played the game only recently on my PS5 thanks to backwards compatibility, and I was hit with constant crashes in a specific area, and I've seen a lot of players complaining about it too, so I think that's awesome for future players
I didn't say or imply it's bad news. I'm just annoyed someone made an article with a cryptic title so I revealed the pertinent info
Oh that's interesting! I played it last April for the first time on PS5 and suffered no crashes, but I played it on Switch and...yeah
It should have a PS5 version already. I hope they release it, physically though
Maybe, but it does coincide with the Stellar Blade collab Roadmap.
thats interesting so many years later. never encountered any crashes in my multiple playthroughs but great nonetheless for those affected.
Yeah it was mostly an issue for PS5 players and it popped up pretty recently because of a PS5 software update
That's excellent news that crashing happened to me at least 50 times while playing the game a few months ago before playing Stellar Blade almost a game ending bug for some people because you have to pass that area to beat the game and it just kept happening
"Thanks a lot for everything, truly".
For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.
They can't ruin it because Ninty will send their ninjas to destroy all traces of it. If not for that you can bet that spinoff series would've been milked dry by now.
Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.
I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.
Yea, these games didn't even feel Ubisoft at all. This felt very authentic Nintendo. This guy's direction is obviously stellar, and Ubisoft somehow managed to not kill it with microtransactions and repetitive, boring tasks.

Great article, thanks for sharing.
:)
Yoko Taro must feel relieved to finally have a commercial and critical success on his resume
Perhaps he is but then again maybe that’s why is games are so unique and fun to play.
awesome game, coming to xbox as well soon
It will always be my GOTY 2017. Nothing touched it in comparison to story, gameplay and soundtrack for me.
The first Nier was exceptional too. Had a second playthrough a couple of months ago.
