music was god tier but really disappointed in seeing nier as an arena fighter like rising

if it's gotta have another game's gameplay i'd rather it be souls or whatever

high octane twitch action is not what nier's about. nier's about story and world building and those super poignant little side quests and walking around around a desolate, melancholic world.

<3

I'll buy it anyway. NieR has been my #1 for a long time. I'll be damned if I don't buy a platinum developed game of it.

I mean, it's Platinum. Were you expecting anything else? They only do character action but they're the best at it.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

i want them to make a sequel to godhand.

That would be amazing in whatever other universe it exists in.

Capcom should give Clover all of their properties before they head down the path of Konami.

It's not an arena fighter though, the game will still have exploration and shit like the first game. Nier had crazy combat with all the big-ass powers and bullet hell dodging already, it just happened to suck, Souls style combat wouldn't fit at all.

Story and world building are also intact since Yoko Taro is still the director and writer.

i dunno, i like games like vanquish and bayonetta (rising not so much), but if there's something that platinum is trash at is level design

it's like bland corridor then arena then bland corridor etc.

i wouldn't say nier 1 had good level design but at least the world was evocative and they had the weird resident evil section and i dunno i really liked walking around the plains or exploring the towns and taking on quests, etc.

also i guess i said it wrong, but i'm not saying it should have souls combat, just that i'd take the souls package (as in, level design+world building, minimalistic) over the platinum package (crazy combat + shit everything else, super loud and insane story). but i guess that's a dumb comment to make anyways

point is, if there's still exploration i'm game, but since this trailer featured none of it, all i can say is that i don't care for what was shown. the mc design (i won't even bother trying to remember her weird ass name lol) is pretty good and the music's fantastic, but i don't want the game to be an arena fighter

Thats the only thing I kill tho

mages deal a ton of aoe dmg which hurts tanks and bruisers a lot. you buy void staff for that reason, not to kill squishies better. if you want to do that just buy more ap

Also Nier2 probably wouldn't exist without Platinum being involved.

i mean, sure, but doesn't mean i can't criticize it for being something different from what it should.

like fallout 3 wouldn't exist if it wasn't for bethesda, but it's still a really shitty fallout game and only thing of merit about it is allowing new vegas to happen :>

i believe this won't be so dramatic, at least nier2 will be a good game in itself, but i just have worries about how platinum vs cavia it'll be

I believe that was just a proof of concept since the game is still very young. Okabe will be at home and the Yoko Taro presentation at GDC leaves me with no doubts re; his focus in game development. I'm really excited to see him with an actual development team.

Ocean's avatar.... loool I can't believe I missed the artwork/connection.

yeah i found it very unusual that it said WIP at the end

we'll see

i'm optimistic about the game even if i don't like the trailer

I get what you mean, but that's to be expected of a combat trailer. Regardless of that just read some of the previews and interviews, all the stuff that made Nier cool is still going to be there, specially the random genre changes.

I dunno what's there to be worried about. Most of what made Nier great was due to Taro who's directing the new one and frankly though they made some memorable games Cavia was a pretty terrible studio.

I think it's mainly due to lack of budget. Even though they're published by SE at the time, they were given a small budget yet the expectations were large.

 

[Nekofrog]

what year is it

where am i

what thread is this

is leeg still popular

Leeg is donezo, accept your android idol fighter overlords

hey now

drake1 is awesome

in that absolutely horrible kind of way

lol

 

[Stone Ocean]

Cavia games are like piles of shit filled with raw diamonds inside, but it's a magical, odorless, sanitized sort pile of shit that you can safely put your hand inside without wanting to vomit.

Yeah. Caim omg <3

Drakengard 2 shit the bed. I'm glad I played it tho. It's the game that introduced me to Cavia and in extention Drakengard 1 and NieR.

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

I probably should play the first Neir. Of course it has to be console exclusive.

What? No. It's available on PS3 and 360.

Edit: o u meant you want it for pc?

Never.

everything was shit until we talked about nier.

Hey, we need something to do until the PBE updates, I'm sure as hell not playing Leeg in the meantime

 

[PhillipCostigan]

PBE is updating

hope you like Victorious Sivir!

Heeeeeeeeeere wee goooooo

A Victorious skin that doesn't look like shit and actually looks nice with a very pleasant looking color scheme? What timeline is this

 

[killatopak]

Does your rank during preseason affect your mmr/placements next season?

morgana looks good imo.

 

[Quonny]

Those thigh plates make her look thick.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Does your rank during preseason affect your mmr/placements next season?

Not your rank, your MMR. Your preseason MMR is what will be used to calculate the post-reset MMR and where you end up after placements.

 

[Nekofrog]

Can someone compile a list of gaf pbe names so we can get some pbe games going tonight/whenever?

I'm nekofrog on pbe

 

[Wolf Akela]

I wish I still had PBE. My account got disabled ever since they tied it to NA accounts, but mine is only Lv23.

Theyre not even open to OCE. Rito Costy pls

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

He means it's not on PC

Yeah, only console from last generation I have is a Wii and the PS3 is still expensive.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Man those base AD buffs for ADCs are looking great. I'm really curious to see the new starting items, sounds like they want to phase out D.Blade starts as the norm

 

[Ghost is Bad]

on pbe im ghost on bnet

 

[killatopak]

Yeah, only console from last generation I have is a Wii and the PS3 is still expensive.

If you think buying a ps3/360 is expensive, would mind just watching a let's play?

Combat on NieR is a very opinionated. I don't hate it but I think it could get better. Most seem to think it sucks. NieR's strong points are its story, music and atmosphere so I think just watching it would be good.

NieR 2 is a long ways off anyway. Plenty of time to wait if the last gen consoles would drop in price or if there's an hd remaster on the way if you don't like watching LPs.

Base damage increased to 55.46 from 49.04
Damage per level reduced to 2.41 from 3
Ambush (Q)
Rat-ta-tat-tat (R) [Need to confirm]
Duration reduced to 5 seconds from 7
Mana Cost reduced to 100 at all ranks from 100/125/150
Cooldown reduced to 90 seconds at all ranks from 120/110/100
"For the duration, his basic attacks become piercing bolts that automatically crit the first target hit and deal 30% ( from 20%) less damage to subsequent targets, down to a minimum of 35% (from 40%) damage."

Oh look, something that will not last more than one patch and is likely a mistake

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

Do they even give out PBE accounts anymore? They never really mention it. Still don't know why they call it public when it isn't open to everyone.

I imagine that the Super Best Friends will probably do Nier soon since that's one of Liam's favorite games, so I'll probably watch that when it happens. Though if there is a price drop for last gen consoles I'll probably play it.

That victorious Sivir could very well be the best of the line yet. The rest suck, so it wasn't that hard anyways.
