Vote for either Astral Chain or NieR: Automata at the bottom of the article! 🎮😄

Nier's the better game IMO by far. But I just wish they'd have a update fixing the issues it has. Especially on PC

SegaSaturn6692076d ago

Nier is a masterpiece. Just the first one on its own is better than astral chain.

pietro12122076d ago

Nier Automata by far..don't get me wrong AC isn't a bad game, but it's not on Nier's level

Prubar2076d ago

You know I played through NieR and I just could not see what everyone else did. the combat was alright but the enemies and locations were bland. Also couldn’t get into the story. People say it gets better after multiple play throughs but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Tapani2075d ago

I thought it was an absolute masterpiece in storytelling and combat etc. You haven't experienced the whole game. Try again from the beginning and play it through until you get extremely long credits (you know when you do) and state your opinion again. I understand, though, if that sounds a bit of daunting task :)

Germaximus2075d ago (Edited 2075d ago )

You literally have to play through it three times to get the full game. The third playthrough continues the story unlike the second playthrough which just adds a different perspective of the first.

Segata2076d ago

This is stupid. They are very different games.

pietro12122076d ago

The author is probably comparing them because both titles share the same devs.

Housemarque Reveals It Has No Plans For Live Service Or Free-To-Play Title

Ilari Kuittinen and Gregory Louden of Returnal developer Housemarque have revealed during an interview with Eurogamer at the studio’s 30th anniversary event last week that it has no plans to develop live-service or free-to-play games, “as long as people are buying premium games.”

Why would they change? That's not where their expertise is.

Redgrave3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Didn't stop Sony after acquiring Bluepoint, taking them from renowned remaster and remake quality and sticking them on a GoW live service title that never even went anywhere.

I can't speak to what gives Housemarque the ability to be different, but let's be thankful that they are able to do so in wake of current Sony.

Well whats different about Housemarque which Sony also owns that they can tell Sony what they will and wont do but the others couldn't?

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!
