NieR: Automata - Platinum's Take on all the Weirdness of NieR and Drakengard

I think during an interview for Drakengard 3, he was all like, “Don’t worry, this game isn’t too depressing, it’s possible to get a happy ending” and when asked the staff were like “LOL no it’s unhappy as all hell but he thinks it’s happy”

I was contemplating Googling Yoko Taro happy ending to find a source but then realised I might be walking into a trap…

I thought there was one specific ending from D1 that leads to D2 that’s what I meant by canon. All the endings are pretty damn weird though in an entertainin way

Yea but what he means is that all of them happen, they just don’t choose to explore the ramifications of all of them. Like One ending in D1 leads to D2, but one ending in D1 also leads to Nier so both of them are cannon in the way that all of them are. Know what I mean?

All ok i understand. Diverging paths/diff endings but none are non-canon just leads to a diff overall story route(atleast for the ones explored)

No Spoilers: All the endings in Drakengard 3 “happen” in the story, they’re all failed attempts at something

I am literally SHIVERING IN EXCITEMENT OVER WATCHING THIS NEW STUFF

BEST GOAT OF ALL GOATS EVER. There is NO WAY this will not be my most absolute favorite game.

pretty disappointed that it looks like the boy is just a palette swap, hopefully you can at least get some different weapons in this game. i bought the first Nier and have been pretty disappointed at the selection so far, actually downright pissed considering it had the balls to claim something like “50 unique weapons” when its all just one handed swords that play NEIRly the same haha so fucking funny.

What is this. This isnt scalebound

delete

I normally don’t like games like this, but the @Sonicabid seal of approve = I must try it out.

:tup:

Amazing!

Thanks for the gif

The SHMUP like attacks and bullet patterns with the, dodge animations and traversal are just too awesome.

Some more beautiful screen shots

Everything about this game is looking solid…i hope they dont drop the ball.

Every single game before it dropped the ball and they still turned out alright lol

man even the new girl has the exact same weapons.
