    My thoughts. Its a platinum game. It is not for everyone by default but its my favorite of theirs so far. While not without a couple issues much of that might be the incredibly unique storytelling finally being mixed with Platinums combat system. Though I do love Bayo and Transformers.

    ​@@mr_sn4k3s You don't have to replay it 5 times, only 3 times, with replaying a certain chapter from a different perspective to unlock the fourth and fifth main endings. The third playthrough isn't so much replaying the exact same game, but is actually more of a continuation of the story from the first 2 playthroughs. Though, I can understand that many people won't play/finish the second playthrough since it doesn't change too much from the first playthrough, besides some combat mechanics and additional story details from another perspective. But if you're invested in the story, it's highly worth it -- makes the game go from "good" to "exceptional".

Then on 3rd time you will get to play another character which play differently as well. in the final part... it's very crazy like no one ever did something like that before but I won't spoil it, it's about crazy as MGS4 when snake is fighting and everything is still going.

    well yoko taro is the director. this is the only game I have pre ordered (though in doing so, I didn't get the t-shirt :s ) and he is the reason behind that. its rare to see AAA titles that have this philosophical depth (I am assuming that here based on his previous work.) hope he continues to work with platinum games. Also I find the usage of color pretty interesting as you can easily drag the attention of the player to what "matters" that lies on the environment instead of hopping someone notices. this way, one can add more info to it that is not restricted by the "fear" that the player will ignore that (rendering it to an easter egg)

    In terms of games, early 2017 is an embarrassment of riches. I was so worried games I looked forward to like Nioh, Nier Horizon,, etc... would ultimately be mediocre but instead we are getting great title after great title.That Nier even got a sequel is insane, that it got a sequel made by PlatinumGames is a goddamn miracle. It's times like these that remind me why I love this hobby.

    SapiaNt0mata it's about better framerate, but better frame DELIVERY. it means that if you have 30 fps, each of those frames will come at equal intervals, making it looks smoother. Yes, the PS4 has higher resolution, but it does not ensure uniform frame delivery. It helps prevent the stuttering feeling and ensures your play experience is not compromised too much.

You definitely know what you're talking about, your style is pretty pleasant to watch (and hear) and you go in depth enough to actually learn what I need to learn about the game before deciding to buy , but you don't go too far in depth that it becomes a 30 minute video. It also helps that I think your video is actually the only legit Automata review as of now. Either way, you earned a new subscriber!

    I would personally, HIGHLY recommend Horizon: Zero Dawn over this for now. I like this game too, but Horizon is just so well made, it truly speaks "Next Gen" when you play it. The graphics alone are awe-inspiring, and the world looks so gorgeous, almost making you wish you could visit it in real life, and the gameplay is always challenging, of which most of the big robots you come across in the game feel like an epic boss battle every time.

    Great review Karak, you did a thorough job conveying the strengths and depths of the game without spoiling anything, and you have a lovely turn of phrase and engaging vocabulary. 25 hrs into NieR: Automata (PC) and I'm loving it, the game is my current obsession and nothing else in my Steam pile of shame is seeing any love while I'm playing it (Night in the Woods, Tyranny, Torment, Duskers, even Overwatch is being put on hiatus while I'm irrevocably drawn into the world of NieR: Automata. I will say, though, that unlike yourself, I actually quite enjoyed Legend of Korra but found Transformers: Devastation to be a bit lackluster.

    ACG, I had never heard of you before this video, but this is by far one of the best reviews I've ever seen and if more reviewers were like you, I'd actually trust reviewers in describing video games. Subscribed. Great job on this review. I love the amount of detail and understanding you show for the little nuances in video games, especially where you talked about music. Nier Automata looks like an excellent game. In fact, Nier being one of my favorite games, I might even go so far as to say that I expect it to wind up being my favorite game. It looks like such a huge step up from its predecessor, which already had a really strong foundation as a game.

    one of the little things I love in this game is when you use a spear type of weapon, during some of her animations she kicks it up into the air and it makes a little 'tink' sound as soon as her foot hits it. super subtle and easy to miss but a nice little touch.

    Remember to look for a flight suit in the flooded city when you get to the part where you have to beat enemies there. It may......trigger some emotions for you. And don't forget to think about the story as you play on instead of simply taking in what's told. The game uses "show-don't-tell" quite extensively and requires you to connect the dots by yourself. However by doing so you also get to know the whole story, and enjoy the game even more!
