A quick look at the video on Steam and I am all over this...!

At last, a PC release date. Looking forward to playing this, though the £40 price tag is a bit steep.

Amatsubu · 3 Mar 2017 at 22:33

Wow, I didn't even know this was coming out on PC as well. Good to know, I'll be grabbing it on PC instead of the PS4 then

ACG said its a buy and one of the best Platinum games there is.

Just wait for the key sites, it'll be sub £30 most likely.

Anyone who is buying or interested in NieR: Automata and has never played the previous games, Drakengard 1,2 and 3 and Nier, just like I have never played them, there is a pretty good series retrospective and analysis I found on Youtube by Clemps, it's humorous too so naturally has swears so I won't link directly to a video but it'll be the first hit from Youtubes search bar.

didn't know this is coming on PC, that's great news..

FloppyPoppy · 4 Mar 2017 at 04:09

Yeah we knew it was coming to PC but the details were minimal at best. The release date actually leaked a few weeks back.

Can't wait to get my hands on it looks fantastic.

Amatsubu · 5 Mar 2017 at 12:18

The combos in the video look utterly fantastic, time to fire up the PS4 and replay the demo

The best thing is, it should look sharp as hell on PC with increased resolution etc. PS4 will run at 900p from what I've heard.

So Nier - the original, I have managed to find this:

but no other info. Did the pc version get canned?

Saw a few twitch streamers play this and it looked good, shame it's coming out this close to Wildlands and Mass Effect for me, will probably pick it up in a few months when it's on sale.

Looks interesting, think I will buy this

also seems like it would play well with controller on steamlink which is a bonus

GMG have this for £32.79 at the moment.

First game was superb! I'd never gave it the light of day until an online friend recommended it to me. It's now one of my all time favorites.

I wish we'd see a PC version but I doubt it'll happen.

looks a great game interested in this

TonyTurbo78 · 9 Mar 2017 at 00:25

Think I'll be all over this like a scabby rash. Getting mental high reviews both critics and users.

What platform did you play it on ?

PS3, wasn't without issues though. The framerate is a bit dodgy at times but I've seen worse... Drakengard 3 I'm looking at you! lol

Amatsubu · 9 Mar 2017 at 10:10

Damn, it currently sits at 90 on metacritic from 49 reviews. Not that I pay much attention to that but I didn't expect it.

Looks like we might be getting something special as the game is praised not only for the combat but also the narrative, atmosphere and uniqueness which is a somewhat rare combo;p

Rasseru · 9 Mar 2017 at 10:13

went to buy it last night, pantsu got the better of me. And its not out till next week on the PC haha

I highly recommend having a go of the first one. It's all of those things, but the combat is very basic in comparison to this one.

I almost bought the multi language release last month, ended up having a go of a friends instead as I wanted to wait and see how the PC version would run.
I'd love for some 16:10 support but I doubt that'll be happening.

Amatsubu · 9 Mar 2017 at 11:45

I'll definitely look into it as I've only watched gameplays of that one back when it was released.

Also, to add to the Automata hype, they've even nailed the soundtrack
