@Kiibo They are talking about the Remake, which is at least as demanding as Nier Automata.

[@FelixS.]

@Kiibo Automata is also no Open World Game, it is classical hub based with separated areas and loading zones. I don’t see Automata being significantly more demanding than the remake of the OG Nier. Combat might be a bit faster while the OG Nier has areas with more enemies at the same time. I see them on par regarding possible performance issues.

@@mr.leroysmith7012 So once you beat the game for the first time, you load the file and play the game again as the other main character. It is the same story, but offers a different perspective and new information to what is really going on. It is pretty quick as you keep your levels and you gain a new ability making boss fights pretty quick. It is also a good way to deal with challenges that were too difficult on the 1st run like bonus bosses. Once you are finished, you load the game again and it switches back to the first main character, but continues the story to the next part of the game. From there, there are two more endings, but they are right next to each other so you can easily reload your save and see the other one. Once you have completed all of the endings, you can unlock the final ending. It is an odd style, but it worked out alright.

The public perception of the Switch's power is so strangely polarising. Some people think it's too weak to run Xbox 360 games, others think it's powerful enough to last until 2027. I think the first view comes from people that don't own a Switch, whereas the second view comes from people that only own a Switch.

[@emblemblade9245]

2027 may come from the recent claim by a Nintendo exec that the switch was about halfway through its projected lifespan. I’m definitely hoping for/expecting some kind of upgrade announcement by late 2023 personally

[@Jeeckii]

Nier automata was the first game I tried to play in this kind of genre. At first I was not sure if it‘s the right ‘‘thing‘‘ for me because I usually play cozy games like Animal Crossing or something but oh my god… I completely fell in love with this game. I still can remember running around freely the first time after the tutorial. The Music started playing and I teared up because it was so beautiful. Everything was so beautiful. I still get goosebumps when I think about my journey. Nier automata has become one of my all time favorite games so easily and I am beyond happy to play it on the Switch again!

[@itsxenlol]

if you really like automata, then please play replicant. it's easily my second favorite game, right behind automata. it's not really the main focus, but the gameplay isn't as good. nothing special, but it IS still fun. weiss, which is like pod, has a bunch of magic abilities that you can use instead of just mindlessly shooting out lasers or wait for it to charge up a powerful one like in automata. side quests suck as they're mostly just fetch quests. the narrative is much better tho so i highly recommend playing it. i can't say much without spoiling it so all i'll say is don't stop playing the game until you've gotten all endings. like automata, you'll prolly think you've beaten the game but there's 5 endings. it took me a while to realize that which is why i'm telling you this. the characters are very well written too and i personally like them more than most of the ones in automata. it's on ps, xbox, and steam. it's a shame how underrated replicant is

IM SO EXCITED OMFG I ALREADY HAVE THE PS4 VERSION BUT NOW I *NEED* THIS ONE

[@soggyfan123]

I’ve been wanting this! People were telling me it was a pipe dream, but to see it finally happening, I had to read the headline like 5 times before I believed it, I’m so happy!

[@tiwitiwi6202]

glad they are charging us $39.99 for this. if it was sony it would be $70 😂

[@nicorobin5978]

Square Enix logic. Kingdom Hearts: Too powerful for Switch. Must be Cloud version. Nier:Automata: Yeah, no problem.

[@AfroSamurai215]

Even though Kingdom Hearts ( which isn't my type of game ) looks cartoonish, it's a much more graphic intensive game than Nier.

[@tyrcipher8811]

It probably helps that this runs on Platinum Games in-house tech... The same in-house tech that gave us stuff like Astral Chain and powering Bayo 3. It is more suited to Switch development vs whatever engine was used for Kingdoms of hearts.

@@AfroSamurai215 I think he's talking about KH1 and 2 (basically ps2 games)

Nier developed by platinumgames and DISTRIBUTED by square

[@Dembilaja]

This game is published by Square, but made by Platinum, and Platinum and Nintendo are boys, so only thing that doesn't make sense is why we're getting it only now.

[@therwbyfamilton8023]

I literally started tearing up when I heard this was coming to switch! Greatest game ever made!

[@Gabe_29]

As a long time Taro fan, I'll definitely get this one! Finally the Switch port we deserved

[@GottaLoveDepecheMode]

My fellow brethren, the specs have been confirmed for Nier Switch version. Please like this comment so everyone can see. 1080p resolution when docked 720p resolution in handheld mode 30 FPS

[@schnader]

For those who are unsure if this game is worth your money; If you ask me this game's characters, music, quests and overall story are so well written, not many games even come close to this game's level of polish in terms of character developement and worldbuilding.

[@vette6600]

Great game overall and one of my favorite OSTs ever

[@manrique_1984]

One of the best soundtracks in recent years. Highly recommend.

[@superpan218]

I have nothing against this game but I'm gonna say this: They can bring this to the Switch natively, but they can't bring Kingdom Hearts to the Switch natively.

[@mrjotaro]

They can square enix probably too lazy or feels it's too expensive

[@dancingvalkyrie]

Lol good to see people are hilariously still mispronouncing "AUTOMATA"

[@animeist72]

Just finished on Ps5, it was certainly a trip glad more people will be able to experience it.

[@ploobii]
