There's a rumored third version of Nier coming later this year after Gestalt and Replicant;
It'll be called Nier Incest and the main character will have to save both his daughter and his sister at the same time

CDPR thing and cyberpunk just reminds me of this with all the online chatter about it and then seeing the numbers

Everyone I know who was busy playing the game was too busy... playing the game to actually give a shit about all the hubbub online, it was all going by so fast how could anyone that wasn't intentionally trying to stick their face in it pay attention?



Also Fallout76 is fun

After PC Gamers review of Dragon Age 2 I stopped bothering with reading their reviews. I think I actually still subscribed to their magazine at that point too, though not just because of that review but because of the fading relevance of magazines.

They gave Dragon Age II 94%? Hmmmm

well, why not.

Everyone can enjoy whatever they like, even if its trash for others, but glaring issues, misinformation and the like should still be pointed out.
That said, it seemed to me that most CP2077 criticism came from people that didnt play it.

Koei Tecmo pulled another Koei Tecmo...
Atelier Sophie DX looks worse than the original. This affects all DX versions (PS4 and Switch as well), not just the PC version:

Original:

DX:

Poor trees... xd
Firis and Lydie and Suelle are fine though, Firis DX has even the proper lighting/bloom/ambient occlusion that were broken in the original PC Firis.

Lol speaking of dragon age 2, I played it for the first time like a month ago now and I knew going in "Oh god it's so repetitive! They ruined it compared to Dragon Age origins!"
I was super hesitant to play it because Origins is one of my favorite RPGs
So I get to playing it and it's like "I thought this was supposed to be bad?" and then I was like I just wish it had some more features that were in origins but they improved on some stuff and re-rused a lot of encounter maps other than that, not so bad.

KT's strategy of releasing low effort PC ports continues to work for them. As long as they're making a profit, they don't care what the minority thinks of their port quality.
Click to expand...
Well, in this case it isn't just a low effort PC port, but a low effort new version in general, since the PS4/PS5 and Switch versions are also affected by the downgrade.
To make it worse, the trees leaves looked better even in the PS3 version (at least aesthetically)...

EDIT: Comparison taken from youtube videos, PS3, original PC and DX PS5 in that order:

On another note, a comparison from Firis, first is the original PC version (with the broken unnatural lighting, missing ambient occlusion and weaker bloom), original PS4 version and DX PC version:

Downgrading the trees is such a baffling move. I'm assuming they're the Vita assets?
Click to expand...
Nope, they're entirely new. Vita version:



Looking closely, I think the individual leaves in the DX version may actually be more technically "detailed" than in the older version, but aesthetically they just ended up looking worse.
Then there's the missing grass too in this specific shot, and in another screenshot I posted earlier, missing shadows from the trees leaves.

EDIT: Been looking at more footage from original and DX, and it seems to be just this one specific location that was changed?

Uh, that's weird. Yeah, they kinda look worse and the missing grass and shadows made me think it had to be from the Vita version. But now that I look closer, I see everything else is completely identical. Maybe it's just a bug then?

Yeah, it's a really weird change. Other footage that I've been checking is looking fine when compared to the original (including trees and their shadows), it's just that one specific location that is looking worse (though atm there's only footage from the early parts of the DX version, of course).

Right now, at this very moment, some guy from the Square Enix marketing team is looming behind me and his glare is saying “YOKO you bastard, just promote the game properly for a change!”, but meh, not much that can be done about that now is there? Let’s all just give up and call it a day. I mean, you really don’t understand anything in this game until you play it through multiple times right? And the reviewers will find it pretty hard to do that in the limited time they have…

We aked the outspoken creators of NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... to share their thoughts about the launch of the game. It may have been a mistake.

Okay, good new, bad news and sad news.

Good news is that the Papa Nier will be included in day one editions of the physical PS4 game.

Bad news is that my CE is no where to be found so I will not be playing tomorrow.


The sad news is that my Nier Repicant OST preorder will not include the yonah diary.... oh well I guess they sold out. Maybe some one will put up a listing.

About the Yonah thing is so weird because it was not until earlier this month that the pre-order yonah thing should up and while it does mention the pre-order thing they are still advertising it on the site, and some people that pre-ordered it didn't get any messages about getting it

It's just a matter of time when it will be part of a Humble Choice.

I think I'll probably buy it at 75% off, hopefully in this summer sale.

This is correct, they already confirmed that Playstation Studios was going to be featured as their main entity on PC too so they just added the data in there, which is GREAT NEWS.
