What an insanely great year.

 

[Audioboxer]

He loved the demo alone, and the full game is obviously a lot more meaty, so I feel like he'll give it a good score most likely.

Jim's always keen on a game having good gameplay, which is why it is good Taro did wheel in Platinum.

Nier's gameplay? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Dat story/world/characters though.

 

[ironcreed]

I'll give you a pass and assume you're also including Taro when you say Platinum Games.

Why not? I would be down for some of his madness in Final Fantasy.

 

[Savantcore]

Oh man, how long has it been 90?

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Sick.

Happy that´s it´s a good game and maybe it will sell some more copies because of this. 2017 gaming is awesome.

 

[ubercheez]

90 and my copy just arrived.



I'm going to celebrate by starting it right now.

You lucky bastard.

Also, flip that cover ASAP.

 

[Obliterator]

30+ hours. Multiple endings, and no, you do not literally do the same thing over and over in order to get them.

Yep I'm sold

Dear lord my back log is already enormous

Why not? I would be down for some of his madness in Final Fantasy.

From RPGsite ( https://www.rpgsite.net/interview/5...che-kings-on-their-trip-into-a-robotic-future ) interview:

RPG Site: Okay, to finish off... so, Taura-san, if you could take Platinum and make a game in any other Square Enix franchise - East or West - what would you make?

Taro Yoko: [in a high pitched voice, hand over mouth] Final Fantasy!

Takahisa Taura: [laughs] No... I mean, I could only think of another Nier after this!

RPG Site: I know you guys work at Square, but what about you?

Taro Yoko: Hmmm... Dragon Quest... if I was allowed to do anything, I'd take Dragon Quest and make it a really brutal, really nasty game. You'd see the monsters start eating people, they'd be molesting the female characters too.

Yosuke Saito: There are already places like that in Dragon Quest!

Yoko: Ahh, I don't need to make it then, it's been done already.

Saito: ...but I don't think Dragon Quest has been done overall in that way. [laughs]

Yoko: I'd love to see all the cute little villagers running around screaming and getting torn apart!

Saito: I'd like to do Space Invaders in the arcade... Taito is in the same group as us, after all. I've never made a proper arcade-only game before, after all.

Yoko: If it's a shooting game, I'll make it for you. Call me, call me!

 

[LotusHD]

Oh man, how long has it been 90?

About 40 min.?

 

[TheKastorian]

Yep I'm sold

Dear lord my back log is already enormous

Yeah, same here. To the point that I feel overwhelmed!

 

[BRSxIgnition]

I've gone ahead and added the beautiful 'The Weight of the World' by Keiichi Okabe (YT) to the OP in order to celebrate breaking into the 90s on Metacritic.

Can't seem to say it enough: Congratulations to Yoko-san & Platinum games, well deserved!

 

[hans_castorp]

Why not? I would be down for some of his madness in Final Fantasy.

I seriously doubt they would let him go full-Taro in a mainline Final Fantasy

And madman Taro is best Taro.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

 

[pixellated_man]

90 on Metacritic right now. Totally not expecting such high scores. The case for 2017 becoming one of the legendary years for gaming continues to grow stronger.
Shame you can't play most of these releases if you are an exclusively Xbox or Nintendo gamer. Well, at least you can play Zelda, which is probably the best of the bunch on a Nintendo console.

 

[Rymuth]

 

[Audioboxer]

Just give in, backlogs never go away. We'll all die with a backlog.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Don't call it a comeback.

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah, same here. To the point that I feel overwhelmed!

This year has just been too insane. It feels like there is a great game launching every week

 

[ironcreed]

I seriously doubt they would let him go full-Taro in a mainline Final Fantasy

And madman Taro is best Taro.

But just imagine it, Taro and Platinum team up to do the next Final Fantasy. Could be legendary.

 

[Savantcore]

About 40 min.?

Oh good I'm not too late for the hype train!

 

[gdt]

Just bought it for PC. Let's do this!

Bought Mass Effect Andromeda too. This year man...

 

[darkwing-buck]

Yoko deserves this.

What's the next "bully" to add to this tho

Where is Emi Evans version tho?

 

[Struct09]

My copy shows up tomorrow and I can't wait to play to this game in May when I'm finally done with Zelda and Horizon. I might even get to start Mass Effect in June. 2017 is unhinged.

 

[Audioboxer]

https://twitter.com/RedMakuzawa/status/838685648735199232

What's the next "bully" to add to this tho

Persona 5?

I can't even at the quality of gaming the past few months. Something for everyone!

 

[HeelPower]

I say hand over the next FF to this very exact team.

World Class Arpg gameplay✔

Endearing Characters,great world buildling,unpredictable plot✔

Its exactly this kind of talent that needs to get the funding an FF title gets.

 

[Hektor]

https://twitter.com/RedMakuzawa/status/838685648735199232

What's the next "bully" to add to this tho

Persona 5 without a question

 

[SaniOYOYOY]

I've gone ahead and added the beautiful 'The Weight of the World' by Keiichi Okabe (YT) to the OP in order to celebrate.

the lyric + meaning along with the variation behind this fucking song.... i just cant. my favorite song on the whole ost

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

https://twitter.com/RedMakuzawa/status/838685648735199232

What's the next "bully" to add to this tho

Should have added Halo Wars 2 to represent all consoles.

Precisely. It is going to take that kind of shake up for me to get excited for the series again.

 

[Jiraiza]

Oh good I'm not too late for the hype train!

We can do better than that GIF.

If we need to really accept action in main FF then I believe this is the best choice... it could make FFXV a 8.5/10 game for me.

But I hope (dream ) FFXVI back to turn-based.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

https://twitter.com/RedMakuzawa/status/838685648735199232

Probably Mass Effect, Persona 5, and Prey.

 

[LotusHD]

We can do better than that GIF.

Here's a classic:

 

[Gbraga]

That video made me look up my reaction to the reveal
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=168375198&postcount=35

Still unreal tbh

Did the same:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=168375999&postcount=85

Seems accurate.

Spoiler

I actually did scream at work. It was awkward.

 

[GhostTrick]

Here's a classic:

I always see this gif, I wonder how the guy who made it could make the game look like that.

 

[Aeana]

Anyone have any pics (not screenshots) of the reversible cover?



How are the sidequests? Worth doing or mostly bad lie the first game?

The sidequests is the area where I feel the game is most improved over the first game. They're all worth doing, absolutely. Very interesting stories attached to each one.

 

[aravuus]

Oh good I'm not too late for the hype train!

Over a week and a half before I dare to jump on the hype train

The sidequests is the area where I feel the game is most improved over the first game. They're all worth doing, absolutely. Very interesting stories attached to each one.

No need for this any more?

That's great news!

I don't have anything as grandiose. I just randomly came across it on Youtube, and then later on E3 trailer. Was blown away by the music for one thing.

I always see this gif, I wonder how the guy who made it could make the game look like that.

He's just that good.

 

[Audioboxer]

I really hope if this sells well it can give us a Nier remaster, with some tweaks. The soundtrack in the first game is outstanding.

 

[ChanMan]

Ya'll got your 90 now, looks like I will be juggling this with Yakuza 0.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Not to mention the exclusive one-time songs that play at the conclusions for many of them.

 

[LotusHD]

I'm seeing some of the reviews state that they think this game's OST surpasses the original. Man, this hype...

 

[taoofjord]

So happy to see the good reviews. I've been loving it and can't wait to get the rest of the endings once I finish Zelda.

 

[Audioboxer]

I'm seeing some of the reviews state that they think this game's OST surpasses the original. Man, this hype...

Yeah, that's ridiculous. The first game is soo good.

 

[Koopatrol]

90! Nice! Interested to see what Giant Bomb will give this.

 

[ironcreed]

Ya'll got your 90 now, looks like I will be juggling this with Yakuza 0.

Another fun as hell game that I just picked up to add to my ever growing pile. My head is spinning.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

No need for this any more?

That's great news!

They arent great from a gameplay perspective, but they add alot to the world.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

I dunno if SE is still doing DLC for theatrhythm, but can they please release Automata songs for it!!??
