Nier automata

[Chachamaru]

Nier automata demo looks awesome. Is phil really not considering this game? Dont even need to play nier the 1st game just google that shit. The combat alone alrdy give me the feel of one of the best game 2017. True meaning of missing out if u skip this game for RE5 remaster or other generic stuffs.

Agreed. Would like to see Phil give the demo a shot.

I have never played the first game but had lots of fun with this.

 

Also the gravity rush 2 demo as well :)

[Chachamaru]

Just watched the WIP. wowwww

Need to drop everything to play a demo? both gravity rush 2 and Nier automata is only at best 1hr long and probably can even finish it in 20 mins each.

/facepalm

"doesnt seem to be anything appealing to me", "demo of random stuff"

I can assure you you wont be saying that when the game comes out.

[Pochomex]

I really wanted Phil to play the original Nier game but it never won a Patreon's Choice vote. It's a great game and I hear the demo of the sequel Nier Automata is fantastic.

I enjoyed the first Gravity Rush game too. I played it on PS4 but I know it's originally a PSVita game (and it sure felt like it). I liked the atmosphere and characters tho, and I have high hopes for the sequel since it's being made specifically for home consoles this time. I still need to check out that demo too. I'd love to see Phil check out these demos, I doubt they'd take up much time and they'd be fresh new conrent.

[Chachamaru]

Hah! Called it! He magically decided to play Nier Automata now (retail ver). Not even 3 weeks pass.

"demos of random stuffs im probably not gonna end up playing"

"i dont care about those games"

Well, there ya go... Lololol. He just cant regconize good games on his own can he.  At least i ll get to watch him play the retail :3

[RichterTryhard]

This Nier is also developed by Platinum Games.. Who made Bayonetta. Pretty sure many are looking forward to it. I know I am from the Platinum name alone.

[Cless]

He played Drakengard 3 without even playing the other 2 and no one heard any complaints from him there.

So what's stopping him now?

The demo literally is an hour short, why would he need to drop anything for it lol. He could do it on a 2nd stream one of these days.

He's just being lazy, at this point.

[BeefmanTheBestSuperhero]

Please don't play nier automata. If former Platinum games have taught us anything, it's that Phil doesn't have the skill to handle an action game designed by them. Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, and Devil May Cry all serve as examples of why he shouldn't bother with this one and leave playthroughs of it to people who are more adept at handling that kind of gameplay.

 

edit: I should clarify that I'm not saying Phil is bad at games. Just this particular type of action game. He would do better playing something with far simpler control schemes when it comes to combat mechanics, and in which slow timing doesn't punish a player as much.

Nier automata is already out in Japan, and apparently it comes with full english translation. If Phil downloaded and started a playthrough he'd be ahead of the curb in the lets play community right now. There are some people just playing the japanese version instead of waiting.

At this point, I don't even think I'm going to play it. Why? 

1. Horizon Zero Dawn, Zelda BOTW and Ghost Recon: Wildlands release within ONE WEEK of each other. Nier Automata releases the same day as GRW. There's no freaking way I'm going to be done with ALL THREE games in time, and juggling 4 new releases at the same time is a horrendous idea.

2. I have no idea what Nier Automata is, and if people hadn't told me to play it, I wouldn't have ever put it on my schedule. Just real talk, it's not on my gaming radar, while the other 3 above releases very much are.

3. Pretty much everyone has already seen the game, thanks to the Japanese version having a full 100% english dub etc. WHY DID THIS GAME NOT HAVE A WORLDWIDE RELEASE??? Answer: the game publishers are complete fucking morons. From a business perspective, it makes no sense whatsoever to play this game a good 3 weeks after everyone who was HARDCORE waiting for it either 1. played it already themselves, 2. watched a playthrough of it already on the internet or 3. will be playing the USA version when it releases and won't want to watch my playthrough.

I'd GUARANTEE that if I played Nier Automata in March, nobody would care. Abysmal views, nobody on streams and people yelling that I'm not giving enough attention to the other games they want to see.

Unless anyone can convince me otherwise, this game is DOA.

I think Phil has his niche Japanese game slot filled with Danganronpa anyhow and he's going to be locked into having to play that for obvious reasons. His patreon rep took a hit(Fair or unfair) last time with Persona 3 so Phil is really going to be inclined to play Danganronpa throughout so that's a lot of games juggling in March especially with Mass Effect and Dark Souls 3 coming out later the month.

 

Nier might be a game to go back to by maybe June though?

Edited February 25, 2017 by Blackspawn89

[Blackspawn89]

I wasn't comparing anything, Phil will be locked into the Patreon's choice playthrough of the month. Danganronpa will be his niche game of the month.

 

And it's not shit anyway but I guess you must be one of those people who think Persona is shit too since it's Japanese teens saving the world and there's social links galore....

It's a dumb visual novel, nothing like Persona or Nier. Automata is a solid AAA release, not an unknown niche title.

Visual novels are great like Ace Attorney series, the Zero Virtue series, Steins;Gate series and this.

Phil doesn't play enough of them if anything.

Danganronpa is batshit crazy, wacky fun and is something different than what Phil usually plays.

Gravity Rush 2 is a solid AAA Release yet that is coined "niche", Nier is not on the level of Horizon Zero Dawn nor is it treated by Sony as that as well. Heck Yakuza is coined as niche by DSP and that is bigger than Nier Automata.

Same devs that made Bayonetta, first game had a huge following because of Yoko Taro and it looks like it could be a GOTY contender.

You'll be missing out on an amazing game if you just worry about views.

GRW isn't even that great and most people are saying it's just The Division 2.0 from playing the beta.

Welp, looks like i was wrong in my guess. I swear, with you claiming that ur a real gamer and shit, you definitely do not think like one. At this point I alrdy give up convincing you to play it and you shouldnt play it unless you want ur image to look worse. However, I want to point out a few flaws in ur thinking and mindset that will make u more respectable and credible as a gamer, a lets player and a game reviewer in the future if u fix it. starting with what you said here.

1. No idea why u will like GRW if u dislike The Division but whatever. If u changed ur opinion u should probably provide reasons why so that ur consistent in ur opinions and not a flipflop lord. 

2. You are a gamer AND a lets player. Gaming news is directly related to ur job and its also what you like, yet one of the most anticipated and GOTY contender game just went over your head. WHY? its not like its a genre that ur not used to and u also claim u love these genres (action, jrpg). WORST GAMING RADAR EVER. So stop waiting for fans to tell u news and do some research yourself.

3. From a business perspective, this have no effect on them. Hardcore fans who cant wait will buy the jp ones while those who can wait will wait. If anything, it made the cash flow into japan more if it requires u to convert money to YEN and buy from jp store. Gamers will not refuse to buy the game just bcos they have seen them, especially when its one of the most anticipated game in 2017. This only effects you. However, your putting too much importance in day1 views while ur not even that competitive to begin with. Most who get the day1 views are those who dedicated their youtube channels in providing it as fast as possible (usually with no commentaries) or a marathon of 8+ hrs twitch streamers camping day1 releases. When you get lots of views, mostly its bcos of u playing the game (dark souls, bloodborne, mgs series etc.) and not bcos ur one of the first who uploads (at the present time). Just bcos u cant get day1 views u completely ignore a potential GOTY candidate, ur passion in gaming to experience the game and ur fans.

U guaranteeing is just a speculation. I also can speculate that altho u wont get dark souls level of attention, it will not be as bad as Yakuza 0 and probably be abt ur average stream if not better just bcos how much hype the game has and its from platinum games.

Additional Advice:

- Ur "i can get thru the game with only 1 weapon 1 stance" mindset in Nioh is stupid and boring. STOP IT. Normal gamers, not even mentioning a lets player, would try out different weapons, stances and skill combos then uses the ones that they like in COMBINATIONS to raise their efficiency and skills. A gamer, a lets player AND a game reviewer who wants to attract ppl to watch his gameplay, choosing to not explore what the game has to offer. WHY? The only reason I can think of is not enough skill to utilize them and that is what I usually see from boob showing girl streamers.

This is an example of an interesting and skillful gamer playing Nioh. Pls dont have that mindset again in future games.

Incredibly self-entitled post that expects me to completely change who I am as a gamer and YouTuber to cater to their perfect tastes.

Okay, send me enough money to pay all of my monthly bills as well as buy all of the supplies for my business, and I can be your personal go-to guy for what games YOU want to see, playing them exactly how YOU want me to play them!

Good christ, do you even read the stuff you're about to post before you post it? How do you not cringe? It's a complete lack of self-awareness.

Other than them being both Ubisoft games there really isn't a comparison.  Only ever played The Division beta and it's nothing like GRW other than it has guns but they don't play anything like each other.  GRW caters for the generic FPS or TPS crowd, The Division is a game with bullet sponge enemies and a more complex gear and RPG system.  It's definitely NOT a case of if you like one you will like the other.

 

Also the whole -you must play this game as it's anticipated- Not everyone wants to play every game no matter how hyped, I'm sure most gamers have been meh about at least one hyped game if not more. You may like it but that's not to say everyone wants to play it.  That to me is entitlement -I'm stoked for this game you should be too-

This is why I respond to phils "reasons". If phil had said "I dont like the game and I wont play it" (for god knows whatever the reasons is) at most I would say "your taste sucks" and that would be it. But instead hes saying all these "reasons". According to this;

- a gaming youtube channel that focuses on AAA games, likes action, likes jrpg, is normal to not keep up with gaming news and ignore an AAA action-jrpg GOTY contender

- If a game has 2 separate time releases and NA isnt the earlier one, its gonna be on ignore list

- Lets say that if something like Devil May Cry 3 just came out, a game reviewer and a lets player whos looking for ways to increase his views, is ok to play the whole game with just 1 weapon using only 1-3 combos at most and review the game saying its the games flaw for not forcing player to use other weapons. Fuck variety in gameplay.

If u havent notice, im telling u how to improve and not that u need to play Nier automata. I wouldnt say this if ur like pdp since hes alrdy rich and popular that he can do whatever he wants and ppl will still watch him, or ur playing ur game under ur basement by urself as nobody would care. But here u are complaining about views, having financial situations and require ur fans to support u. Thats why im telling u how to be more attractive as a lets player and more credible as a game reviewer.

My main point was the idea that disliking The Division means why would you play Wildlands.  The other stuff I'm probably somewhere between yours and Phils views.  As a struggling channel you would think playing every new AAA title would help but you could argue playing every AAA game on release date has been to his channels detriment on occasions.  IMO being selective over what new games he plays might not be a bad idea as the worst playthroughs I've seen from Phil have been new titles where it becomes clear he just isn't enjoying the game.  The trouble is nobofy knows if they'll like a game or not before playing it, especially in the modern era of very little betas compared to a decade ago.
