That's good to hear. I'm going to pick this up when my new TV arrives.Took the plunge and got the PC version. Capped the framerate in the nvidia CP and set 16xaf there while I was at it to make sure. No problems so far but I'm very early on obviously so will see how it goes. Running at a solid 60fps @ 3328x1872 max settings on a 3900x 2070S.
Found my favourite chill spot in all of gaming again:
The pc port of Automata is almost infamously bad. Thats the version I played. I played the Gamepass version and although it has some improvements I hear. The game often runs at 59 fps I shit you not.
In Automata when go different area there little frame hiccup because its trying load new area since in Automata there is no loading times like there is in Replicant/Gestalt.
What year is it? Reminds me of 2010 when this game first came out.
It was savagely trashed by almost all reviewers as an example of how behind the times Japanese games are compared to the flawless storytellers at Bioware and Bethesda. The game sold poorly and was buried in history. The team that developed the game, CAVIA, was shut down. Yoko Taro's career as a director of console games was almost over. Platinum Games themselves while pitching projects to SQEX suggested the idea of working on NieR, a niche series with no status, no sales, and no critical review success. The sequel defied all expectations and was one of the best selling SQEX games ever put out, and was one of the top reviewed games of that extremely competitive year.
It was so shockingly successful, that SQEX greenlit Taro remaking this game specifically because almost everyone missed playing it the first time, and it was so good that they were willing to spend money on a 2nd chance of the game after it was robbed by asshole reviewers the first time.
Fast forward to 04/23/21, 11 years later. This motherfucker ....
Fuck you, fuck your weeb bullshit insults and fuck your stupid Xbox t-shirt avatar. Go play the top tier games from Bethesda and Bioware. Oh wait, there aren't any anymore. That ridiculous bubble burst after all the western-focused hype reviewers and people like you invested into a lie - that they were the "best storytellers" and far better than Japanese games.
NieR, and its sequel are fantastic games. Some of the best storytelling in the entire medium. It has nothing to do with weebs.
Not really. Refund while you can.
They are several enemies in this game that can one shot you, there is the Boar in northern plain and giant Shade near the Seafront.
Been playing it on PC for a bit. No major problems here running at 4K@60fps on max settings. I had capped the framerate through Nvidia control panel, but ended up just going through SpecialK to resolve other issues like weird framerate dips related to a bug with controller input (I'm using a PS5 controller).Any more PC impressions?
Need to decide if it's worth the gamble in getting it from GMG or CD Keys to save a bit of money or whether I need to buy it directly on Steam to get the option of the refund should I need it? Or there's always the option of getting the playstation version if the PC port is a complete bust.
There's a short guide on ResetEra. I'll post the gist of it here for those that would prefer to stay in NeoGAF.

The thing is the only reason Papa Nier exist is because they wanted to appeal to western audience, Yoko Taro wrote Nier's story with brother Nier in mind.
Play Automata 2nd for sure.
Ridiculous! Go to library loading.... Go home loading home etc etc.
