So, let me put it this way. NieR is a one-of-a-kind Gem. It's good to look at it as an expansion of the Drag-On Dragoon series. It's full of issues if you look at it as a standalone experience. It has narrative problems, it has pacing problems, it has gameplay problems, etc. Yoko Taro never intended to solve all those issues by simply versioning it up to 1.22. It's more like, to keep the experience in line with the original NieR Replicant rather than making this title a real deal for everyone. Budget problems also I guess!? Alright, classic Square. For anyone who has zero DOD knowledge beforehand, getting into this is similar to playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days without doing Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 first. But it's not the same. I would say it's worse than that. So my conclusion is that I can't say NieR is a good game, whether it is from a gameplay-first type of person's perspective or from an average RPG enjoyer's perspective. Still, I'm glad the franchise exists nonetheless.

Story wise it feels a lot generic if some backstory is not being told in detail, gameplay is whatever but the visual part of this game is just one of the best especially in this day and age.

Truth is, products like this are extremely expensive to make if they keep doing things in the same style eventually they will go bankrupt and that's where we are now, and that's why we don't hear any meaningful news about Jellyfish or 0verflow or Erogos anymore.

1. Brothers is the much better game (same director BTW).

2. Do not play this solo, sorry Sakurai-san (Smash Bros. director) we should have known better.

sure there were some anxious moments here and there though for most of the time it's a sh!tshow
like someone else said, should have been being dead with our beloved Wii U

and you know what, With this ♥♥♥♥ I made my mind I will never play a non-FromSoftware Souls-like ever again.

LFG!

F

This game is actually a masterpiece and I am really happy with what I played.
You are not gonna get out of any trouble until you face it. Like, face your fear or your reality.

The best protagonist of speaking skills in video games while even me couldn't even close to the guy in comparison.

And.. yeah, a fantasy story, it's a traditional east fantasy story.

黑魂叙事结构 + 弱化洛克人Zero动作系统 + 银河城
[Storytelling and General Structure from Dark Souls + Subtracted Rockman Zero Action System + Metroidvania]

内容方面典型地量大管饱型，超大的地图加海量的Boss显得诚意满满，实在容易让人弥漫并忘了游戏本身的缺陷；

成熟的美术风格以及没有明显的Bug，难以相信是初创团队处女作会有的质量，可以断言几位开发者并非是什么新人之类的玩意；

而实际上整体而言游戏几乎没有任何明显的创新之处，仅靠着惊人的质量和容量就获得了市场和玩家的普遍认可；

众筹游戏屁事多，都是同行衬的好，甚至可以这么说；

缺少创新，缺乏深度，确实也是短板，太像黑魂，缺少灵魂，相信制作人员也深知这一点，同时也是续作需要解决和考量的问题；

量大流程长便容易带来疲劳问题，流程后半已经开始显露，但要说最惊人的还是结局处理，戛然而止的断片风格也是充满了黑魂致敬感；

你们能不能？！大概不能吧，反正我是觉得缺少满足感，至少故事上是这样的；

颓废，破败，碎片叙事，现在各位都喜欢这么玩，宫崎英高就像一阵龙卷风...

我记得英高同志没有结婚啊，为什么如今给人一种子子孙孙无穷尽也的感觉；

再用心一点，再接再厉。
