[QUOTE=Mattk50;52064524]too bad about price, drm and port on pc. I was interested in it but it doesn't look like a $60 game and the port quality is subpar, and i'm not definitely interested in paying that much to get fucked by drm. Maybe after a crack is out and its on sale for $20 i'll buy it and actually own it.[/QUOTE] I've sunk almost 100 hours into this. Yep, definitely NOT a $60 game. I can support the issues with the port, but given how mixed the problems are I firmly believe it is not a shit port. The same problems happened with Mankind Divided and it was just a bunch of complaints flowing in from morons with shit computers. Many of the problems people are having are driver-specific and will be fixed when AMD and nvidia get their shit together. Fullscreen bug is more of an engine problem and even that is something so homogeneously distributed across the playerbase that it's difficult to say if it's a problem with the port or if it's a problem that lies with AMD and nvidia. """""""DRM"""""""" What do you mean by this? Denuvo? Because it's literally nothing.

The port is fixed with mods and while it's sad that it had to require mods, it's not a dealbreaker. Look at Dark Souls, completely fucked without mods but DSfix makes it a must play. Denuvo is a concern for when the Denuvo servers shut down but you could make the same arguments about games bought from the Steam store
[QUOTE=Svinnik;52064582] Denuvo is a concern for when the Denuvo servers shut down but you could make the same arguments about games bought from the Steam store[/QUOTE] I didn't even realize it was a Denuvo game until now.
[QUOTE=WitheredGryphon;52064380]I don't like this line of thought and that's not how a 10 in game reviews should be seen as. They're akin to "this particular game stood so far out and was so superior in quality that only a small handful of games could match or exceed it." Not "this game has achieved ultimate perfection and has zero room for improvement"[/QUOTE] I don't disagree but that's not how its seen or ever going to be by the masses at this point, which back to my first statement is why their garbage.
[QUOTE=No Party Hats;52062222]Literally everyone Ive heard say the name says ottomotta, I'd hazard to say they're probably in the right here rusty ol' boy[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.dictionary.com/browse/automata[/url]

[QUOTE=Rusty100;52064689]look mate, it's obviously otto-matta. and it's 'zeruda buressu of the wildu' while we're at it![/QUOTE] if it helps, in spanish it reads as "Autómata".
[QUOTE=Mattk50;52064524]it doesn't look like a $60 game[/QUOTE] What is considered a "$60 game". It's a very arbitrary thing to say, especially for a game with as much content and replayability as Automata.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;52064689]look mate, it's obviously otto-matta. and it's 'zeruda buressu of the wildu' while we're at it![/QUOTE] You really cant argue this unless you also want to argue Metal Gear, Dead Rising, Biohazard (RE), and Castlevania arent pronounced Metaru Gia, Deddo Raijingu, Baiohazādo, and Kyassuruvania (say them out loud to yourself), they just write the word phonetically using their language so it can be read by speakers of the language (for example, the "ru" in Metaru and Kyassuruvania being a workaround for the L issue), they're still the words, and they're still pronounced more or less like that. The emphasis on "Automata" is on the "Auto" part, much the same as the Combine in HL2 have an emphasis on the Bine part (like the harvester) while their function fits both definitions.

Not everyone has to talk like you. Nobody cares that you think otherwise. -- On the topic of Nier's rating, the game is phenomenal in my eyes and I haven't even come close to finishing it. Some of the sidequests do feel a little unnecessary towards the beginning of the game but it becomes much less of a nuisance later on. The combat is fluid but can get pretty hectic at times. In my opinion, the music is the strongest part of this game. Nier's music is absolutely phenomenal, it's one of those games where I would listen to the soundtrack over and over outside of the game, and there's very few games that I would do that with.
i wish all games had the same dedication to sexy nier did
[QUOTE=Diet Kane;52064857]can your posts get any worse[/QUOTE] Have you seen them ever get better?
I don't know I played the demo and it didn't really pull me in. I'm not sure why but the enemies were really boring to me.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52063913]giving games 10/10s is just something you shouldn't do no matter what, that's just unrealistic, silly and comes off as ass kissing. He was totally right about the huge turn offs though, the sexualized protag just makes the game look cheap which is a shame.[/QUOTE] I love how everyone complains about how overly-sexualized 2B is when in reality the only sexual things about her are that she's a girl (subjective) and sometimes you can see up her dress skirt [I]while[/I] you're sprinting [I]if[/I] you look hard enough in-game she's cold and distant, and always focused on her missions first, with a subtle splash of repressed emotion. nothing she says or does is sexual. my advice to you would be to ignore fan-artists

A2 for example is technically completely naked outside of the nightie she wears. 2B is pretty modest compared to a lot of other characters.
