I agree that i didnt see a 90 coming, i was expecting an 80 and hoping for 85. If you think about it logically thoughit makes perfect sense.
Nier was praised for its story and music, but given low scores because of...basically everything else.
You take the director and composer of the game and give him a team that excels in combat and graphics and all of a sudden you have a very well rounded game with high quality story, music, combat, graphics, and platinum games level of polish. It really shouldnt be surprising that its a 90 metacritic.

Retool Scalebound into a Drakengard sequel! Les go Squeenix!
when given the proper budget they produce greatness. a lot of people think they lost their touch the last few years which is ridiculous considering the activision games were made with a happy meal budget (though from what i hear Transformers turned out pretty good) and star fox was just bad direction from miyamoto.
Atleast the games I have bought from UK had codes that worked fine on my Finnish account. Obviously can't guarantee that it will be the same with this game but most likely it should work.

charting in npd is going to be pretty damn tough this month
That's what Nier fans were saying from Day 1, and I believed them. Glad it paid off.
Square said they would likely remaster the original Nier as well if this is successful, Platinum likely wouldn't be involved with that.
Looks like we are seeing more Nier in the future.

that was mostly just people doing everything in their power to deflect any blame from microsoft for the scalebound situation

Do you think the game just didn't come together and thats why it was canceled, or did it not hit Microsofts milestones and/or didn't fit the vision of Microsofts people?

The reviewer likes it so far though.
Its a niche Japanese developed game so they probably love it.

i just realized something
2B as in "to be" as in "to be or not to be"
i haven't played the game but i think i may be onto something
the review in progress sounded pretty positive

I'm not a MetaCritic worshipper. I only needed to play the demo and know it was Platinum making the game for it to be a must buy and play asap. For my order of playing, it will be Nier: Automata then LoZ: BotW. Of course, P5 might push LoZ back... Sony and Nintendo, don't need anything more. 
2017 has been a great year so far. Not so great for my wallet though
For ps4 owners yes, yes it has. I am in a sinilar position as others my backlog is increasing a ton but no regrets tbh, Iwas looking forqard to this game and I am glad the reviews are this great.
I can not be happier of choosing ps this generation, I look at ms with the xbone and what do they have this year so far, halo wars 2 and thats it? What a shame throwing away all the work 360 did, anyway can't wait to play nier.
Some but I think Transformers, Star Fox and TMNT games they pumped out in the last couple years can't be shrugged off.
One could have legit concern with their recent productions.
i liked transformers

Japan @ the 2017 GOTY Awards:
Brilliant! I didn't recognize Link until someone mentioned it lol.

Let's not do this guys.
Someone should make a ps4 version of that legendary ps2 software lineup pic but for spring. Also if Nier is getting a 90, then persona is getting 90 too without a doubt, unless something stupid happens like reviewers finding the stylish presentation pretentious and docking it for that

The $80 CAD day one price is seriously delaying me from buying games from the get go unless I have a gift card or something. That's $90 after tax for Ontarians...

So we're sitting at a 90? Goddamn.
A year ago, if you told me that Nier would be the highest reviewed PS4 game of the year (even beating out RE7), I would've laughed.

Last year? Make it last week. I feel a bit bad for Horizon.
This is kind of bollocks.
How would a 9/10 Grand Strategy game appeal to people not into strategy games, without watering down its elements so much that it becomes... not a very deep strategy game?
Same can be said for action games, though they have an easier appeal.
Or a game like ArmA, or any other "simulator".
I'm torn I just bought Nioh and Horizon but thinking of picking this up and playing it first
Main thing I'm holding off is cuz S-E games wind up with a good PSN discount usually within a couple of months

I find your lack of faith disturbing. I knew from the start it could do this and expected as such.

I would be happy if they at least put the original for PS3 on the PS Store. I wanted to buy the phisical version, but the PS3 version is going for high prices everywhere.

Holy fuck. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that: (i) we would ever get a NieR sequel; and (ii) it would get a meta score of 90.
Now all it just needs to do is sell well. Would hate for Taro and Platinum to get sidelined because of all the other 'big' games this season.

Nah I haven't played the other two, I just wanted to be the devil on your shoulder that convinces you to buy this game.
