So far A, B and C are all the same maps, buildings, etc.Do they mix up the environments at all or is it just industrial type areas?

Not exactly sure what happened, but I was playing through C campaign...not sure how far in I was though. I hacked all the androids to get the airstrike in, then I was going around to sections fighting large groups of Androids. I just finished killing this Android in a group and then the black bar came on the screen telling me something about Alpha or something, and then I hit the A button to proceed, then the credits came up SUPER FAST scrolling across the screen...like all of them in 3 seconds. And then it took me back to my last save point. I look at the save and it is called ABO, and I don't know what happened????
SQUARE ENIX® announced that the worldwide shipment and digital sales of the critically acclaimed action-RPG, NieR: Automata™ have exceeded one million.
I got yet another random ending (yeah, I am addicted, I thought I would have stopped before this, lol). This one had the screen turning red and black and shaking with a tube tv kinda look. I could not SEE A DAMN THING I WAS FIGHTING! lolThere are random things you can do to get endings F-Z. Sounds like you got ending O
Must be something in the water. How are all these niche Japanese games that nobody wants breaking the 1 million mark in sales? The industry is booming!
Well they are androids.Nier: Automata sales were "significantly above" expectations, according to Square Enix. I'm sure the expectations weren't all that high to begin with -- niche game by weirdo developer, sequel to low-selling, obscure game -- but still, it's good to hear, especially from Square, who are not prone to be satisfied with sales numbers (I'm remembering how they were disappointed with Tomb Raider sales, even though they were at 5 million at the time, I think).
I assume this means Nier will get another sequel. Funny. No one expected the first to get a sequel, and now we've got a "hit" series on our hands.
I don't think it's my cup of tea, from what I can tell. I've heard the characters are fairly soulless, and that's kind of a deal-breaker for me. The combat, for all the praise it gets, seems to emphasize the red orb "bullet hell" that (for me) was the most annoying part of Nier (the original game). Also, I don't like the bland, mechanical environments. I think that would feel like a drag. I do like what I've heard about the weirdness of the story, but I don't think that's enough by itself to overcome my other reservations. But I'm glad others are enjoying it.
Get it when it hits the bargain bin which will still get devs a cut as opposed to buying used or renting.

Andy I have never used share play, but if you ever want to share play my Nier you can. I don't know if it means I have to be there for you to do it, or if I can just click on your name on PSN and select a shareplay option that lets you play my copy if my PS is in rest mode?
Thanks, Kvally. I've never used Shareplay and don't know how it works, so I looked up a video:
Looks like you'd need to be playing the game at the time you hand it off, and we both need to be online. That's a bit inconvenient, since my console is rarely plugged into the internet, and I just game when I feel like it, not according to any sort of schedule (you're probably the same). Appreciate the offer, though.
I've played the demo, watched a few gameplay streams, played the original, and read some reviews, so I think I've got a feel for it. I hope to give the game a try at a discounted price, sometime down the road, after I get my backlog whittled down a little.
Not sure how to explain this....but if you didn't like the demo, you wouldn't enjoy the game. But, the full game is much better than the demo IMO. If that makes sense. It's the most bizarre game I have ever played. I never really play Japanese games. I think the last one I played was Blue Dragon when it released, and that was for like 30 minutes.Finally got around to playing the demo for this tonight. It's uh.... definitely not my cup of tea. Camera swinging around by itself was annoying and fixed overhead parts weren't much better. Didnt care for the gameplay at all.
Legit shocked the game was so wildly raved about.
Japanese games arent my thing ethier but I took a gamble and bought Persona 5 even though I never played a Persona game and its soooooo good.Not sure how to explain this....but if you didn't like the demo, you wouldn't enjoy the game.

Maybe Nier will show up for free on PSN+ some day and then you can give it a go. You might change your mind.Japanese games arent my thing ethier but I took a gamble and bought Persona 5 even though I never played a Persona game and its soooooo good.
I didn't do many of the side missions, though I should some day. I did a few more of the campaigns at the end too. I was thinking of getting the DLC, but the time I spend on DLC could be used to finish my other games like Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ori, FH3 and more. And I want to pick up Recore and I still haven't finished those? WTF am I thinking sometimes.Well I'm still trying to play it but man I don't know. There are small bright spots that I enjoy but then I'm back to ugh let this be over. My next main mission isso not sure how much I have left. Judging by side missions I'm only like 15% done with those. The story isn't the issue I think it's just the game play. As much as I love PlatinumGames and their past stuff, I'd rather just play Bayonetta 2 again honestly.go into the underground city or whatever
I agree. I played the demo and thought it was ok. Certainly don't get the effusive love for it, though. Of course, I didn't care for Bayonetta either. I do, however, like the look of this protagonist.Finally got around to playing the demo for this tonight. It's uh.... definitely not my cup of tea.
