Shame really, it looked quite good.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Shame really, it looked quite good.

Oh I see, it's sub 90 MC, cancelling my Collector's Edition pre-order.

 

[jshackles]

Reviews look great. I've had this game on my radar for a while now. Going to try and finish up Oninaki this weekend so I can dive right in.

 

[DESTROYA]

My pre-order for Amazon better be shipped quick dammit!
Reviews look great so far Platinum never disappoints , for this game I will drop all others and be my first priority.

Those are some high standards.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Those are some high standards.

Nah,

 

[ThatStupidLion]

What are the negatives?

 

[Dane]

Nah,

This make me recall that the reason why they are perceived to be bad could be related to school paper scores, a mediocre paper could get 7.

 

[Verdanth]

Time to pre-order I guess.

 

[GymWolf]

Finally a worth buying switch game after

 

[iconmaster]

It's tragic what's happening to that endangered species, the Sharp-Eyed Western Proofreader.

There's nothing quite like it, in either the studio's back catalogue or elsewhere, though you can draw a clear line between Astral Chain and Nier: Automata, another variety box that was shares the same director, Takahisa Taura.

In the more open-ended investigation scenes there are countless distractions, from people who need their dogs rescuing

(Eurogamer review)

 

[Labolas]

Yeah that's what I expected tbh.

 

[Flintty]

Let's see if it's worth keeping my Collector's Edition pre-order!

I'm in the same boat! I should cancel because I have enough games to play but I'm a sucker for collectors editions and it looks superb.

 

[KPunk]

Damn, this game wasn't even on my radar. But after a few review reads, this game is looking damn good.

 

[Lupin3]

It's nice to see Switch games do good, even though I have close to zero interest in this title.

 

[Kamina]

Looks like it's an Essential for Switch.
Calling my games dealer now to reserve one.

 

[Shifty]

Aw shit, Platinum are on point once again!

Looking forward to my copy arriving on the weekend. Guess I should get to knocking out some of my backlog in the meantime...

 

[Nickolaidas]

Must … not … buy … a Switch … backlog … enormous … can't ... handle … yet another … console ...

 

[Fbh]

Nice, good to hear its up to their usual standard.
I generally buy Switch games used but I'll make an exception for this one to support Platinum

 

[Fake]

Great numbers.

Like hell they don't. When they disappoint, they dont do it half-ass either.

 

[Pumpkin Nutz]

Really excited for this I pre-ordered months ago because I liked the art style & I usually enjoy Platinum Games.I have kinda avoided anything of this game because I know there's alot of footage out there and I wanted to go in fresh.I'm glad its reviewing well.I still haven't finished Fire Emblem yet.

 

[DESTROYA]

What were the games you thought they didn't deliver? Honest question not trying to be a ass about it.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Looking good. I wonder how long it is. I'm guessing 15 - 20 hours.

 

[Danjin44]

Reviews are looking good!

How about this gem?

[DESTROYA]

Did not know those were platinum games, thanks for the education.

 

[Danjin44]

Thats their licence games, but when it comes their own IP like Bayonetta and W101 they do deliver.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Looking good. I wonder how long it is. I'm guessing 15 - 20 hours.

Correct

 

[Otterz4Life]

I've been watching this title closely. The reviews just cement my purchase. Looks like I'll be picking up Astral Chain with my copy of Fear Inoculum.

 

[ROMhack]

Those are some high standards.

Don't worry, I'm British. Was being sarcastic.

 

[Danjin44]

I personally had zero worry with this game regardless what review score it got.

 

[Komatsu]

Good, thanks. We always do separate review threads for games before release

Great job on the thread, my good sir. I only meant to let people know an OT was coming as well.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Great job on the thread, my good sir. I only meant to let people know an OT was coming as well.

Thank you mate. I'm eagerly waiting for that OT

 

[Danjin44]

Thank you mate. I'm eagerly waiting for that OT

You did a fantastic job!!!

 

[Hideous Snake]

You did a fantastic job!!!

Thank you bro. It's nothing though

 

[Lionel Richie]

What are the negatives?

It's a Japanese game and you can't bond with your stepchild, so that deducts about 5-7 MC points. Also, the game is currently rocking the same score as Automata so that's incredibly promising as there were no negatives with that game.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Correct

Was that said in a review?

 

[Hideous Snake]

Was that said in a review?

Yeah some said 12, 20, and even 40. I think new game+ included especially in the 40

 

[RPGCrazied]

40 hours? I'm hoping it has a lot of side missions then if the story is on the short side.

 

[Azelover]

I hope it sells good enough, because I want a series.

 

[Danjin44]

I hope it sells good enough, because I want a series.

I'm hoping just because Switch selling a lot this game sells well too, I hate to see this game gets overlooked like W101 did.

 

[Hudo]

Remember, it has an series style opening for a reason!

 

[Croatoan]

Do you play as the girl or guy in this game?

 

[Danjin44]

Do you play as the girl or guy in this game?

Just like Fire Emblem you can choose and the one you don't choose will become your twin sibling.

 

[NahaNago]

Seems to be doing better than I thought it would. I was expecting it to barely hit the 80s due to its anime style.

 

[Starlight Lotice]

88 is a great score and I missed the mark entirely.

Different hours for different dedicated gamers I would say! 12 Hours isn't so bad but sounds like it is for someone who is used to these games and moves on. Like Bayonetta 2's campaign length wise.

[RPGCrazied]

This should hold me over until Dragon Quest XI on switch. I'll probably be way done with it by then though.
