Good choice. Now, hopefully, the PC port works like past Platinum PC ports. Also, I REALLY hope we get arbitrary resolutions support. My GTX 970 most likely won't be able to push 4k @ 60 fps, but I want to be able to with a future setup.

Yooooooooo. They just add Alice and Eugeo into Memory Defrag. What the fuuuuuuck?! Where am I gonna find enough crystals! (reroll is also an option I guess)

They will also be added into Hollow Realization and AW VS SAO. Fuck now I am gonna have to get those too?!

They got official voice now.



Alice: Ai Kayano

Eugeo: Nobunaga Shimazaki

The Rabbit quest gives gems for daily missions and finishing them. The new Eugeo/Alice quest also has daily gem rewards. I also still haven't finished the Queen of Chef event and that also has some gems. I can scrounge them up for one last 11-roll but that's it. Already failed once when they got released so I'm discouraged really. I have OS Kirito's sword which is perfect for either of them.

Though really, Shimazaki and Kayano. Matsuoka's love interest IRL lol. I somewhat had an idea if Shimazaki could be Eugeo given how close he and Matsuoka are but they actually did it.

I've already given hope after all this time. Miki always says this and nothing happens. Even if he doesn't have any control on the decision, he shouldn't say anything at all. I heard he got boo'ed when he arrived at the stage in the last part of the event.
And I lost some interest in Index ever since Kamisato arrived. His volumes were just painful to read.

But those are oooold.There is nothing new for them to advertise the series with a new series/movie.

Even DoSH was made because the last volume was a few months away from being released.

I do have a Vita but I'm hesitant to buy Hollow Realization when I'll always know that I'm playing the inferior version, and I don't own a PS4.
Are the Vita saves compatible with the PS4?

There is something called cross save so it should be possible.


Anyway, even though I wasn't planning to. I went ahead and get it.

One of thing I enjoyed the most is impaling enemies with spears. It's one of the Pod programs, you can basically summon bunch spears like Gilgamesh or Vlad from the ground and just skewered everything. Shit is satisfying to watch.

When you start the game, you will need to do the demo mission again and you can't save until you are done. So don't fuck up because I did. I was playing around and run out healing items in no time. Feel like the demo was toned down in term of difficulty.

Great news about the PC port:
- It supports arbitrary resolutions up to 4K.
- The vast majority of cutscenes run in real time.

Now I just hope they aren't using Denuvo. This game would look amazing with SweetFX.

Kinda reminds of how P4's first hour or so wouldn't let you save either. Thanks for the heads up :D

Although the PC version has a few performance issues, this shit is why I'd always recommend it over the console version.




Someone forced true AO and it made the game look absolutely amazing, and that's not even with any injected postprocessing shaders. Here's the original for comparison:


Also, a correction on my part: the cut scenes are pre-rendered, sadly. Hopefully they patch a better version of them later.

Nothing rage you quite like dying in the demo stage right in the final battle. Goddamit. Guess I'll start the second route tomorrow. 2B route is quite short, I didn't even reach level 30 when I done it.

There's so many sidequests in this game. A lot of them are good, but boy can it kill main plot pacing if you're a completionist.

...especially if you try doing most of them before you reach the point where you can fast travel. The only saving grace is that Okabe's soundtrack is pleasant to listen to while traversing between zones.

Port is needlessly heavy but it looks like it was to be expected with those Min/Recc settings, Not that 15 frames at 1080p should be out of reach for so many people with mid performance cards.

I'm gonna tough it out because I really wanted to play this game but it's pretty painful, looks like PS4 was the way to go.

Who would've thought that a sequel to Nier releasing alongside freaking Mass Effect would end up being the much better choice. I mean, i did, but that's solely due to personal preference as Nier just checks so many boxes for me in almost all aspects, but never did i imagine that ME would be the objectively worse written and programmed game.

But eh, at least we got gold like this:

The port is actually pretty admirable, as a PC with comparable specs to a vanilla PS4 would perform just like it. The problem is the kinda low-budget engine and how badly optimized it is. Nier is a gorgeous looking game thanks to its art style and aesthetic, not its technical fidelity, and by all accounts it should run easily @ 1080p w/ 60fps at all times on the PS4, and yet it runs @ 900p with numerous frame dips on it.

If i were to choose, i'd get the PC version because it's almost guaranteed to get fixed either be SE or the community and you'll still have it scale for all your future upgrades. The PS4 version would forever look and perform at a subpar level.
The only merit for the PS4 version IMO is that it has a physical copy.

I am buying a gaming pc next year. For my previous two PCs I relied to a friend of my dad during my 1st class in middle school (a 32GB Hard drive was like the TOP) (TBH I t run a lot of shit back then, even UT2004)and my current PC is from 2010.And it was prebuilt with a shitty Video card.

Now I am looking at the "best" build in reddit

Yeah you'd be laughing with that, probably go the 1070 and add an SSD personally though.

Now that NVME M2s are a thing regular 2.5" SSDs are so cheap, don't do a build without one.

It's just amazing how you can make it look so bad by flatlining the graphical options and it still runs terrible. Evidently not a problem with the port but it's just a shame for PC users then.

2. 2nd PS4+Samsung Galaxy S6 (since 2015) +Samsung 4k TV(since last December)

Ok, I'm done with the three routes. You can just do the sidequest later since it lets you select Chapter to play and have the sidequest carry over.

Lots of lies and I have no idea who's in control.

The most annoying part of this game is probably 9S' Hacking game.

Now to check the other endings.

Automata has officially sold more than 100K copies just on PC in only 3 days.
If it sustains this momentum, it's highly likely that it'll surpass the PS4 Japanese 1st week number (198K).

I'm so happy for how this game's reception and sales turned out. Seriously, this game had a LOT going against it, as much as Platinum and Taro had their own cult following.

As a celebration; fun short, here's how Automata's cover design came to be:

So true. I feel that there's always a catch with games by Japanese developers. It's always either the budget or the inexplicable stubbornness to always use in-house in-optimized engines instead of publicly available, highly competent, compatible, optimized and literally free engines like the Unreal engine and CryEngine.
