There is actually some issues regarding about the game. The sprint speed you gain depending on your fps, the GPU usage, and some other small issues. However I consider this port way better than Nier Automata. In the 2017 Nier its fps were locked, cutscenes also were locked at 30 fps, and the texture pack didn't aged that well. At the end I believe this new Nier just needs a few patches and that's it.

[@StrengthScholar0]

@@StanslaMichael Pre-ordering never provides a benefit to the consumer. And in a lot of cases the game that you pre-ordered may be good and you would have bought it anyway, but you're always needless risking your money when you pre-order. Also many companies have used pre-ordering to cover their ass so if they put out a subpar product they'll still make a profit even after being exposed in reviews With that being said, as huge fan of nier automata I'm really glad this game turned out to be good.

[@firalia]

​@@StrengthScholar0 The biggest reason I will pre-order things is because there's a possibility I may not have the money in the bank to buy it day one for whatever reason. Also because if I'm pre-ordering a physical copy, it's already set aside and there's no risk of me not getting one. I don't pre-order new franchises tho. I only pre-order existing franchises where I would have bought the game day one, regardless of if it's shit or not, because I would have wanted to experience it. With Nier Replicant, you kind of already knew what you were getting into. I mean any upgrade is better than the original lmao. Even if they somehow fucked it up, the fact that I can actually play it natively at 60 fps and not on an emulator is enough. The story is the main thing. Another example of something I would pre-order is Final Fantasy XIV expansions, because you literally have to buy them to progress through the game. I would be buying them regardless of if they're shit or not, because I have no choice. Plus with those, if you don't pre-order, you have to wait longer while everyone else is participating in the early access beta. In that case, you run the risk of getting spoiled in the time you have to wait. The same applies to waiting a few days for reviews and stuff to come out. It's just fun experiencing the game with everyone else at the same time. Someone has to be the sacrificial lamb so that the people buying later know if it's worth it after all. The way I see it, if you were going to buy it day one the moment it comes out, you run pretty much the same risk as you do pre-ordering. If pre-orders didn't exist, that's exactly what people would be doing, and is literally what happens with games that don't have pre-orders. Anyways, my point is that pre-orders have reasons to exist. If people want to take risks, let them. It's not hurting you. Many people just want to get payment out of the way so that they can play a game they would have bought day one anyway. Pre-orders often also let you pre-load, which a lot of people see as a plus so that they can play as soon as it unlocks. This is especially the case for those of us with slow internet, where downloading would take hours--if not an entire day.

NieR was originally released for the 360, or NieR Gestalt, NieR Replicant was released for the PS3 and was Japan exclusive.

So... with Automata, the side quest played an important roll into showing the player the "state" of the world (and history), and really helps pull you into the entire experience. IMO, the side quest in Automata are crucial to the overall experience. So Replicant doesn't have this affect at all, or not until later on, based on this preview?

[@Matt-bg5wg]

You just need to make sure you get every weapon in the game before you finish Route C. That includes quests where you are rewarded weapons obviously, as well as ones picked up off the ground. There's a few helpful guides online just be wary as some put fucking spoilers in the articles. One article listed all 5 Route endings BEFORE getting to the part talking about getting all the weapons. Which was so stupid. There are a few interesting quests that do help to expand on the lore of the world, the Lighthouse keeper quest line is one of them. Again, go check out a quest guide online. I'd say 80% of the side quests in Replicant aren't important at all story or lore wise.

I came to watch the review after finding out it's going on Plus soon as I never played this remake/remaster. I'm really glad they didn't change it up too much and I'll definitely be replaying it now. The original Nier was one of a very few games in my 20+ years of gaming that made me cry, and it did it twice. Won't spoiler anything, but I'm sure veterans will know at least one of the sadder parts. Best soundtrack I've ever heard as well, at least original soundtracks. That's what initially kept me playing a decade ago when the game started off a bit dull, purely the music made me play on - then it just gets better and better and better. Definitely get this if you've never played it and come to this review after finding out it's coming to Plus, it's a masterpiece of story telling. Can't believe Falcon called Kaine "Kane" though 😂 especially if he's played it. It's pronounced almost like Kanye, aka the rapper that would do well in 1930's Germany.

[@xguudaxcoax4560]

To anyone new to this game the timing of quest and side quest does matter for those looking to get all endings, get the platinum or 100% the game with minimal replay and reload. Great game and rewarding platinum.

[@ElY4889]

If you like the music of the game, check out the “ballad of the twins” side quest. It’s a fetch quest but totally worth in my opinion.

[@baddragon5636]

This franchise will always be in my heart ! With Drakengard along side long ;)))

[@Reynevan100]

I see the Yoko Taro master plan now. He made Automata, which was a lot lighter (more depressing than horrible) in its themes, and even had a positive message. With platinum on board, he made a game that could really hit big, and it did. But what he really wants is for his older games to get popular, so now he starts a series of remastermakes ('version upgrades'), which are sure to sell well thanks to the renown from Automata. Now, he needs to do Draknegaard series, especially 3, and his inner emotional vampire of confusion and horror is sure to be sated, as more people will experience the 'fun' stories of mass murderers, dragon lovers, ra*ists and all the other fun characters! Truly genius. Now, back to Nier v.122... time to attend this wonderful wedding in the mask people city. Im sure it will be THRILLING! ;)

[@hansmuller1933]

I was at a point where I had played Nier Automata and wanted to see what the deal is with Nier Replicant. And at the point, where I was just about to quit the game, KZbin showed me your video and I am so thankful that I watched it and kept on playing the game.

[@c-thrukrypton6508]

I played nier automata first and absolutely loved the music and characters. played the side quests in that game and figured out some more story of the bots. after playing replicsnt, I now know the story behind the music and even more sadness behind the characters and the outfits and I absolutely freaking love it. to me, it's one of the best game franchises out there.

[@flaminG-Ghost]

Nier series is an absolute master class in storytelling through gameplay... One of the only games that actually does that unlike those cinematic Hollywood style games we get from the States... Ppl should learn from it...

[@F5.PSYTRANCE]

Best BYB EVER. This is the most straightforward yet detailed opinion i could ever ask for. Seriously guys you love what you do and it shows. Thank you very much!

[@Indivenant]

When I played the original Nier on my Xbox I played the one with an older player character since I’m American. In japan the version I played was called Nier: Gestalt. I wish that this remake allowed you to choose whether you played the younger or older player character so that I could properly attempt to recapture my original experience.

[@rayminishi689]

I'm just hurt that Papa Nier has been set aside for familiar Western fans.

[@jase276]

What do you mean set aside? His game is Gelstalt, this isn't nieR Gestalt. This is NieR replicant aka not his game. By that logic, then Brother Nier was set aside for 11 whole years.

[@RavenFalore]

Not to mention if you beat the game first time and get the Mother's Diary, you can play as Papa Nier in a pseudo version of the game. Just read her diary when playing the 2nd time around during Kaine's story plot.

What is so clever about nier and automata is that they both make u think about what ur doing as a gamer, and make u think about ur characters actions

[@ShayneyBhoy]

Imagine claiming to have played the games and referring to Kaine as "kane"

[@cystarkman]

imagine, imagining that there is only one accent and one way of speaking on earth. either that or i take it of course that you played the game in Japanese without english subtitles and are referring therefore to the actual names?

[@MarkHogan994]

@@cystarkman It has nothing to do with accents. The name is simply not pronounced "Kane", not in English or in Japanese. In both languages the voice actors very clearly pronounce the name multiple times. It's not "Kane", no matter what language you played in, and no matter what accent you may have. Besides which this reviewer has an American accent identical to many of the characters in the game, including Kainé.

[@PantsaBear]

@@cystarkman Dawg Falcon does this on dozens of videos with tons of main character names that are voiced, in english, in-game, plenty of times. Many of these games he claims to be "a fan" of the game series and attempting to speak from a place of experience. Has nothing to do with it being a game that can be played in japanese or english or his dialect (not "accent"). Its either intentional so more people will comment, or he's extremely bad at his job at reading other people's scripts

[@Lyander25]

I've been sitting on this purchase for a while because it's a ludicrously expensive game in local currency but with how much I ADORE the original NieR soundtrack (played on the PS3, not XBox), hearing that the arrangements here are improvements is just dirty in the best possible way.

[@NicoleMarie.]

It’s important to note that (I assume it’s similar to automata), I’ve never played Replicant, but “Multiple Playthroughs” in this game is not like any other game. You are not playing the same game again. You continue your side quests and the game in the same timeline, but just another character or perspective. I feel like saying “multiple playthroughs” is misleading when this game is considered. It is the reason I never played Automata until I learned otherwise.
