Man, this looks way better than the original. I mean I found the original to be narratively interesting, but it wasn’t a looker.

AK911446d ago

As someone who played and loved the original I'm actually quite disappointed in the screenshots, this is obviously just a remaster with a higher resolution.

AK911446d ago

I cannot wait to play this game and playing as Replicant Nier is a welcome addition.

SyntheticForm1446d ago

I'll play any Nier game now. I really liked Automata.

Hot damn those are some high quality games right there. I've been meaning to give 13 Sentinels a go, just haven't had the time to get around to it.

RpgSama224d ago

I had it on my wishlist waiting for a Discount, when I knew I would be close to playing it, so much in my backlog already, might as well try it now.

Also looks at ALL those Star Ocean titles!!!

The story is so great especially if you don't know what's going on, When i played it I kept thinking I bet this is "it" no I bet that's "it" no it's got to be this, but "it" wasn't those things in the end.

It's Japanese story telling style at it's finest, lead you along and let you wonder what is actually going on really keeping you engaged to figure out the mystery.

The RTS gameplay I really enjoyed too, my only regret was that there wasn't even more of it!

RpgSama223d ago

LOL,

Who is salty enough to give you 4 dislikes for praising this game?

fr0sty223d ago

Probably why they hiked the price, so there could be better quality games and less shovelware.

notachance223d ago

It's one of the best story ever made in recent years, there's a reason it was nominated the best narrative in 2020's TGA.

Tapani223d ago

I heard 13 Sentinels has a superb story, gotto try it at one point.

I can vouch for Nier Replicant, it has one of the coolest endings I have experience in a game. Took me a while to complete the game fully, but man, it was more than worth it in the end.

nier and star ocean. 14 sentinels, jrpg dream. Even I can't hate on that.

CrimsonWing69224d ago

13 Sentinels is a must play if you haven't. Like, I can't praise enough what an awesome story and set of characters that game has.

monkey602224d ago

Why did they rename Backbone? Strange.

I'm starting to forget that Platinum Games can actually still make good games.

isarai516d ago

Yeah, they really need to pull it together for a new banger. It's all been games at the hand of some publishers demand, licensed games, pulled in to work on games that aren't theirs, etc. Just want 1 new game from them that is wholly their idea and execution.

Gamehard515d ago

Astral Chain was pretty awesome.

Shinox516d ago (Edited 516d ago )

What is it with SE and their obsession with this game , if it wasn't for the sex appeal and the internet degenerates this would have flopped and became forgotten like the rest of Yoko taro overrated trash , better invest on your abandoned IP's if you desperately want sex appeals on your games , just give Parasite Eve a chance SE

Snookies12515d ago (Edited 515d ago )

You are straight up HIGH, my dude... You clearly never played this game. There's barely any "sex appeal" in this aside from one or two easter eggs. Blowing yourself up, or angling the camera the right way. This is coming from someone that really dislikes when developers use sex appeal to sell games. It is first and foremost an existential experience. Brilliantly portraying how the psyche changes when faced with your own mortality. It is a masterclass in storytelling. I hate when people look at this on the surface and think it's just some sexual fan service game...

The thematically grim tone, the story, the music, the constantly changing gameplay systems and the dynamic camera angles are what sets this apart from any other game. It replaced Chrono Trigger as my favorite game of all time. I've been gaming since Bionic Command on NES. Which gives me a very broad knowledge of gaming through the decades. So, please... If you don't have ANY knowledge on the subject you're talking about. Just don't talk about it. Because you have no right to speak on a game you obviously haven't played.

shinoff2183515d ago

Agreed snookies. Even the gaming since nest except I go back to atari

Crows90515d ago

....so intelligence can drop to below 0. Bummer. You'll recover in time I hope.

This game is awesome. The only sex appeal is in your head. You have yourself to blame.

DarXyde515d ago

Everyone is welcome to an opinion. It is my opinion that this is contrarian nonsense.

It was a fun game with a beautiful OST and salient narrative.

shinoff2183515d ago

Nicer og was good. Gotta try replicant still. Idk about automata yet

I still need to play this! Plan on getting it for Switch.

Limitedtimestruggle515d ago (Edited 515d ago )

I recommend getting it on anything BUT the Switch if possible. The Switch version is a very cut-down port as usual.

Yui_Suzumiya515d ago (Edited 515d ago )

I prefer my Switch OLED for most games and all-ages visual novels. I have a PS3 and PS4 as well. Plan on getting The Callisto Protocol for my PS4. I also have a laptop but I only use it for eroge.
