Pro gpu isn't even as strong as a rx 470.
Nier Automata Steam Page/Pre-Order Live, releasing March 17th
- Thread starter InfiniteNine
- Start date
A Steam key is included; the only PC SKU on Squeenix's own store is the Steam version. I'll buy you a key myself if I'm wrong.
you can buy me one to make up for the years I've put up with your Australianess. Do you have any idea how hard its been.Damn it JaseC.

Wait this game is locked from SEA? Can VPN bypass it?
Else I have to turn to other means to obtain the game.

It just can't be purchased in Asia. You'd be able to activate a region-free gift copy/retail key.

To be fair, their dicking is mostly not being able to properly convey the info regarding the Steam release.
If they'd said they working on it without giving a concrete date, it'd at least let people know it is coming, likewise if they stated that they are working to get the release on Steam to be alongside the PS4 release.
Don't make it sound vague, but make it sound positively vague.

NieR Automata Steam has a 20% discount on Instant-Gaming. Not sure if they're legit though as I've never bought from them before. Anyone know?

Just 1 of a dozen grey market sites. Looks like it doesn't have the hottest reputation.
If you're going grey market I'd probably wait and see if other sites get it first.

I'm waiting on GMG as I've never had issues with them. But if it becomes too much of an issue, I'll just buy directly from Steam.

Found Nier:A for 1799₽ (region locked for Russia of course), but don't know if this site is reliable..

Damnation, I was hoping for a smaller price on steam, but it's too expensive currently for my pocket unfortunately. 
Let's hope that steam has some kind of spring sale.

Any advice on the cheapest place so far? Seems like it's mostly the same everywhere

Started to watch a NieR LP to catch up before Automata hits.

So any good deal in Europe to buy this?

I would enter any NieR related so count me in.
Really? 27% off is tempting, especially since I'm not exactly in the mood to reward S-E.
Seeing a decent handful of people getting invalid keys and getting shit (as in, none, really) customer service.
Which, I mean, is common for these sort of sites. So if I were going to brave that avenue, I'd wait for the more reputable ones, who will likely end up with similar prices.
The pre-order stuff just went up on a Friday, I bet we'll start to see a decent trickle of deals during the week, especially after the console version releases.

Nice! Will post as long as a mod approves that such a thread (LP-based LTTP) is A-OK.
BTW, watched a playthrough of the Automata demo and it's... a religious experience.

You're in for a ride on both games especially automata since it solves every major flaw thr original game had.

Is this key or gift?

It's a key.
Yeah, I'll wait until the end of the week to make any decision for sure. I hope for a nice 20% GMG discount.

No Japan, typical.
I hope it won't be regionally locked on Steam.

Yeah, its a key as stated above, not sure about pre-order bonuses though..
There's not much of a distinction to make in this case as Squeenix created heavily region-locked packages for Eastern Europe and a handful of other countries, so unless you happen to reside in one of the listed countries, a key intended for Russian users and a gift copy purchased in Russia are equally useless.
The 770 smashes the PS4's GPU, there's no way it can realistically be the minimum GPU, that can barely run this game.

Thanks.
They deliver the key on 17th right?
Yes, i am in Montenegro.
Ah.

Yes.
That doesn't make me all that happy. It is great that the game is getting all this validation but SE will learn all the wrong lessons from this.

Its like 43 on Instantgaming.
That's more like it, even though they charge 2€ for Paypal.
It would be wonderful if Square Enix could release some more information regarding the PC port of Nier Automata. I tried to reach out to the community manager that posted the pre-order announcement on Steam. No dice as of yet.

I doubt they will say anything tbh.

Nobody knows.
That's what I have been trying to figure out.
A Steam key is included; the only PC SKU on Squeenix's own store is the Steam version. I'll buy you a key myself if I'm wrong.
Nobody knows anything about the PC port except that it's coming on Steam on 17th March.
Is that a trustworthy site?
EDIT: Nevermind.

Are physical pc games region locked? I have not bought physical pc games in years.
