    Safe answer: Buy the game, you won't see this time of narrative plot in a couple of years, also the OST is beyond the highest quality.

      Exebiel it's amazing how consistently spectacular the ost is. My tinnitus started acting up and my first thought was "well If I go deaf I already heard the nier soundtrack so it's not all bad." It's so fucking good

    My thoughts.
    Its a platinum game. It is not for everyone by default but its my favorite of theirs so far.
    While not without a couple issues much of that might be the incredibly unique storytelling finally being mixed with Platinums combat system. Though I do love Bayo and Transformers.

    • @Revivingessence
      @Revivingessence 5 лет назад +120

      ​@@mr_sn4k3s You don't have to replay it 5 times, only 3 times, with replaying a certain chapter from a different perspective to unlock the fourth and fifth main endings. The third playthrough isn't so much replaying the exact same game, but is actually more of a continuation of the story from the first 2 playthroughs. Though, I can understand that many people won't play/finish the second playthrough since it doesn't change too much from the first playthrough, besides some combat mechanics and additional story details from another perspective. But if you're invested in the story, it's highly worth it -- makes the game go from "good" to "exceptional".

    • @Vertutame
      @Vertutame 5 лет назад +60

      @@mr_sn4k3s no,they're not the same, you get to see from another perspective, as 9S and 9S has empathy toward machine. You will unlock more gameplay element as well.
      Then on 3rd time you will get to play another character which play differently as well. in the final part... it's very crazy like no one ever did something like that before but I won't spoil it, it's about crazy as MGS4 when snake is fighting and everything is still going.

    well yoko taro is the director. this is the only game I have pre ordered (though in doing so, I didn't get the t-shirt :s ) and he is the reason behind that. its rare to see AAA titles that have this philosophical depth (I am assuming that here based on his previous work.) hope he continues to work with platinum games.
    Also I find the usage of color pretty interesting as you can easily drag the attention of the player to what "matters" that lies on the environment instead of hopping someone notices. this way, one can add more info to it that is not restricted by the "fear" that the player will ignore that (rendering it to an easter egg)

  • @RicochetForce
    @RicochetForce 7 лет назад +314

    In terms of games, early 2017 is an embarrassment of riches. I was so worried games I looked forward to like Nioh, Nier Horizon,, etc... would ultimately be mediocre but instead we are getting great title after great title.That Nier even got a sequel is insane, that it got a sequel made by PlatinumGames is a goddamn miracle.
    It's times like these that remind me why I love this hobby.

      Definitely, if you coulda seen my excitement haha. The story is great which is why I like it more then anything, but glad to see platinums combat expertise. Should be great only 9 more days for NA at least :P
      Clemp does a really good recap in 3 videos and explains alot but playing it is definitely another, just too bad so much story is behind the novels and stuff, and the extra epilogue to nier in a chapter you can read, but if you dont wanna play the first clemps video is a good idea :P

    • @SuperSeeck
      @SuperSeeck 7 лет назад

      SapiaNt0mata it's about better framerate, but better frame DELIVERY. it means that if you have 30 fps, each of those frames will come at equal intervals, making it looks smoother. Yes, the PS4 has higher resolution, but it does not ensure uniform frame delivery. It helps prevent the stuttering feeling and ensures your play experience is not compromised too much.

      Think Bioware has list their touch after their last game, don't buy Andromeda at launch.

      I would personally, HIGHLY recommend Horizon: Zero Dawn over this for now. I like this game too, but Horizon is just so well made, it truly speaks "Next Gen" when you play it. The graphics alone are awe-inspiring, and the world looks so gorgeous, almost making you wish you could visit it in real life, and the gameplay is always challenging, of which most of the big robots you come across in the game feel like an epic boss battle every time.

  • @Tenchigumi
    @Tenchigumi 7 лет назад +4

    Saying that Nier: Automata's soundtrack came in and "Spider Silva the entire music community" is both hilarious and apt, but also a little sad when you think of Anderson's current age and performances. Also, now I imagine daddy Nier as Rich Franklin, which is weird.

    Great review Karak, you did a thorough job conveying the strengths and depths of the game without spoiling anything, and you have a lovely turn of phrase and engaging vocabulary.
    25 hrs into NieR: Automata (PC) and I'm loving it, the game is my current obsession and nothing else in my Steam pile of shame is seeing any love while I'm playing it (Night in the Woods, Tyranny, Torment, Duskers, even Overwatch is being put on hiatus while I'm irrevocably drawn into the world of NieR: Automata.
    I will say, though, that unlike yourself, I actually quite enjoyed Legend of Korra but found Transformers: Devastation to be a bit lackluster.

    First time I see one of your reviews (I think). I just want to say they are actually pretty amazing. You definitely know what you're talking about, your style is pretty pleasant to watch (and hear) and you go in depth enough to actually learn what I need to learn about the game before deciding to buy , but you don't go too far in depth that it becomes a 30 minute video. It also helps that I think your video is actually the only legit Automata review as of now. Either way, you earned a new subscriber!

    Hey Karak. Sorry if I missed this in your review. But how are the side quests in this game? On a scale of Dragon Age:Inquisition to Witcher 3?

    • @ACGreviews
      @ACGreviews  7 лет назад +47

      above DA below W3. As I said in the review many of them really matter to the main story and give you more info. But there are some stupid ones

    • @lordfallen1455
      @lordfallen1455 7 лет назад +3

      ACG At least they are above shard collecting. Thank goodness for that. Nice to see them being important to the story. Well, I can tolerate some stupid ones if they aren't the majority of the quests. Also I do hope the PC people get a Black Box Edition for Nier Automata. That figurine..😃

    The music in this game is great, and it's the little details that really make the game shine, like lowering the volume of the music when you go into your room. Not only does it sound good, but it helps the place feel calmer, it's a great sounding game, and just a great game in general from what I've seen of it so far.

    Reminds of a bad ass anime. It looks spectacular in a bayonetta kind of way. It looks like a lot of fun to be honest, my type of game. I also like the environments, very reminiscent of a post apocalyptic world that used to be full of life. It conveys that sense of a large scale dystopia. And cmon, what's more awesome than fighting a giant fucking mech. It even PULLS a bayonetta with the 'endings'

      @minglimchau1335 7 лет назад +3

      Remember to look for a flight suit in the flooded city when you get to the part where you have to beat enemies there. It may......trigger some emotions for you. And don't forget to think about the story as you play on instead of simply taking in what's told. The game uses "show-don't-tell" quite extensively and requires you to connect the dots by yourself. However by doing so you also get to know the whole story, and enjoy the game even more!

    @iroxisGaming 7 лет назад

    The fact that Platinum Games had put in so much effort with multiple versions for a single song. (Eg, City Ruins. They have a Dynamic Vocal Version, Medium Vocal Version, Quiet Vocal Version, 8 -bit as well) was part of the reason i got sold into the game. Game mechanics transitions were really smooth and fast, might even say that its the most fluid gameplay I have ever played. The only downside is the weird camera angles and fixed side scrolling which IMO ruins the immersion for me.
