I cannot believe youre doing a SSLP for this Platinum action game! Please do an LP custom tailored to my tastes! Its an open world action-adventure brawler RPG twin-stick shooter side-scroller platformer with the occasional visual novel element.

Dont worry about it too much! That was like four apocalypses ago! It doesnt even matter much anymore. And almost not as all as far as this game goes. Its a long story I dont have time to get into here. Which I also might have LPed in some hazy point in the past: If youd like to learn more about the original game, I heard theres a pretty good LP of that over here:Īnd while were at it, this is technically set in the same universe as the Drakengard games.

It does have very overt references and some returning characters youll miss out on. Nope! NieR: Automata is set thousands of years in the future past the original game and has very little to do with it plot wise. Like competent people good at making a video game!ĭo I need to have played the original NIER to enjoy this? Or even the band of cardboard cutouts standing in a room with Hideki Kamiya pretending Scalebound was ever going to be a real game. Not the skeleton crew of interns making all this subpar licensed properties like Legend of Korra or Ninja Turtles. And this time he was given an actual competent development team in the form of Platinum Games. Cavia might have fallen, but somehow Taro Yoko keeps getting work. NieR: Automata is an inexplicable sequel to 2010s Game of the Year Absolutely Nobody Played (GOTYANP) NIER. how?! It better not be another goddamn Drakenoh its a Nier sequel? I. Huh? What do you want? I said I was busy and didnt have time for any more Lets Plhuh? What? What do you mean someone let Taro Yoko make another game? Cmon man. I might drop dead at any minute." - Yoko Taro "My doctor wasn't very happy about the condition of my liver.
