Will Nier be like other Platinum games where playing on Easy and then replaying on the higher difficulties is recommended?

Or maybe not recommended but I remember thinking that might have been a more enjoyable way to tackle things like Korra and Revengeance. I think I started Transformers on easy because I was thinking that too, but I haven't put enough hours into it to see if it paid off.

You can switch difficulty on the fly so just feel free to experiment.

if you had good timing in mgr the game was easier on higher difficulties because of the increased parry damage.

dont know if that applies to nier.

 

[FLD]

Welp, I'm heading to bed now and, because I'm a weak-willed idiot with no sense of financial responsibility whatsoever, this will be happening while I sleep.

I thought this was still in early access when I see the header image, until I noticed the release date.

They should changed that quick.

 

[InquisitorAles]

Currently on work and didn't finished Nier preload yesterday, will be at home around unlock time. Still need around 5 hours to download it. I guess this weekend I'll continue to play Dishonored 2...

 

[Monooboe]

I admit, all the hype for Nier has gotten to me, would love to play it. I really need to get a "real" job so I can build a gaming PC again.T_T

 

[Chance Hale]

I'm inebriated and lazy, where is the cheapest place to buy Nier. You have my love. And universal launch?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Hmm, welp breaking point on my low expectations for Andromeda have been reached and I've cancelled my pre-order.
It was an Amazon voucher anyway so I was getting it for free, but I'll better use it elsewhere

So what can I spend it on? =/

Spoiler

Nier Automata isn't being sold on PC through Amazon UK

 

[Black Soma]

NieR price went up on CDKeys too. Sheesh.

 

[JaseC]

I'm inebriated and lazy, where is the cheapest place to buy Nier. You have my love. And universal launch?

CD Keys with a 5% discount code. And yes.

Edit: Oh, the price skyrocketed. GMG when signed in.

 

[Arthea]

gmg, gamesplanet and dlgamer have it for about 50€
of those three gmg seems to be cheapest atm 49,29 €
that playasia deal was the best

edited: oh wait, I was wrong, GameBillet has it cheaper - 48.95€, but I know nothing about GameBillet itself.

 

[SoraNoKuni]

Full price games are too much for me, dammit I'll have to quite some time for nier, till it drops to 25-30ish~

 

[Aaron D.]

yeah Stories Untold is pretty fucking dope,

Nice.

Be sure to drop by the OT and post some impressions.

Damn me for waiting to the last minute and missing the crazy deals, oh well new and great Neir game!

 

[NeoRaider]

missing the crazy deals

NieR crazy deals? Where??

 

[kagamin]

Gotta adjust for inflation.

I completely agreed with your post in my head, then instantly remembered that I just dropped $60 for a set of cosmetic armor and a few stash tabs in Path of Exile (a fully free game btw) and still don't feel a tinge of regret even though I haven't played it since.

Sometimes I really hate myself.

Spoiler

I'm still waiting for Nier to hit $20 tho

GMG when signed in.

This, plus an additional 5% discount if you follow some meaningless survey (basically agreeing to receiving marketing emails). I didn't use it (as I tried with a disposable email acc) but Exentryk did and confirmed it adds to the existing discount.

 

[Arthea]

Gotta adjust for inflation.

that's wrong adjustment, should be adjusted for unemployment and lower income, also number of new games released:

I wouldn't call 50-ish dollars crazy.

Same. That's why i asked.

Everything is approved to me if I made it

 

[Ascheroth]

The only crazy Nier deals were from ModBot.

 

[Arthea]

I wouldn't call 50-ish dollars crazy.

playasia was a crazy deal, unfortunately for us it happened during all PC version debacle, when we didn't know when it'll hit steam and when we had a date and store page, the deal ends immediately. figures

The only crazy Nier deals were from ModBot.

that's not a deal, that's called gambling !

 

[Deques]

The only crazy Nier deals were from ModBot.

Too bad they are limited

 

[Tizoc]

I can't be the only one who ordered from Play Asia am I?

 

[Coreda]

I can't be the only one who ordered from Play Asia am I?

...what was the price?

 

[NeoRaider]

I can't be the only one who ordered from Play Asia am I?

Did you get the key?

...what was the price?

Around 35$ if i remember correctly.

 

[Coreda]

Around 35$ if i remember well.

This price rings a bell but mustn't have been paying much attention to it. Oh well.

 

[inky]

Now we are talking.

 

[NeoRaider]

This price rings a bell but mustn't have been paying much attention to it. Oh well.

It was available during that confusion about the PC release and while nothing was officially confirmed.

 

[Arthea]

I can't be the only one who ordered from Play Asia am I?

I wasn't in time to get it, I waited for the release date and then it was too late.
OTOH I can wait, I have enough games to play


edited: only this thread will be a nightmare starting today lol
hopefully no major spoilers

 

[Tizoc]

Still waiting. I'ma give them til monday then I'll email them about it. Keys might go up later today so who knows

 

[spindoctor]

Anyone want to make a guess on the peak concurrent numbers for Nier today or this weekend?

 

[Arthea]

I'd say 30-40K
It stayed on the bestseller list long enough to reach those numbers probably.

 

[GhostTrick]

I'd say 30-40K

I'd say 50k maybe 60k. It's been 1st for a long moment and it's been in the top 5 since preorder.

 

[ramoisdead]

Ross from Ghostlight will announce what the JRPG Ghostlight will be porting in the afternoon (UK time).

Who's looking forward to @ghostlightgames announcing the next JRPG we're bringing to PC?
The announcement should be this afternoon (UK Time)

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

gmg, gamesplanet and dlgamer have it for about 50€
of those three gmg seems to be cheapest atm 49,29 €

That's some harsh regional pricing. How did GMG manage to get such cheap UK prices? Given the drop in £'s value you'd think it would be higher.

I paid 42,74 euros for Nier at CDkeys. It's very rare for me to pay that much for a game these days.

On a different note, I don't remember seeing portuguese recruits in XCom2, for shame.

 

[Arthea]

how much for UK?

 

[spindoctor]

I think it was 32 pounds.

It's a little known fact, but game developers can actually sustain themselves from air, water and sunshine through photosynthesis.

This is true, I can, if I wasn't I couldn't buy all those super expensive games!

:O!


Could it be........... SMT!? lol nah......probably something like Aedis Eclipse Generation of Chaos....or spectral souls

I think that picture supposedly to be ironic. It's much better than my friend who refused to buy game even at discounted price and just keep pirating. Can't see him as a respectable creator ever since.
