Gameplay is shit, people only like it for the story. I would say it's worth sticking around for all the crazy shit that eventually happens though.

This. It was a masterpiece in it's day, but it hasn't aged that well. Still an amazing game though.

It is total shit. It's like a really, really early Dynasty Warriors / Panzer Dragoon beta.

It would be better as a book.

Nier has pretty bland gameplay too, really.

Probably this, I'm only a few chapters in and I still can't figure out a better strategy other than mashing the attack button and occasionally using magic. That said I've developed a preference for weapons with knockback because they at least prevent you from getting totally swarmed.

Learn how to lead enemies and be economic with your combos/magic. Going too fast will get you fucked over in the late game

Probably the most fun game ive played all year just trying to figure it out, most games these days dont really give you a reason to develop strategies like this one does

just out of curiousity can you name like 5 or so games which you think have great/god tier gameplay? I agree with you on Drakengard but I never got why people hate on Nier so much, I actually enjoyed everything about Nier myself.

Weapons with knockback will prevent you from getting high combos, so you won't get many hp speheres. I recommend some swords with projectile magic and one knife, because knives are fast and are great for building the combo up.

Just play around till its conforable to you

I used blocking whenever the enemies go apeshit after the blue flash, you dont really need it anywhere else since you should be the one bumrushing them

Also dont feel the need to kill every enemy, just launch surgical strikes on the targets, especially when the enemies are prone to kicking your ass

Sure, in terms of action games I quite like Dark souls for it's addictiveness despite it's flaws, along with DMC3 which is on the other end of the spectrum. I like mainline shin megami tensei games, especially Strange Journey for it's addictive dungeon crawling. In terms of RPGs my favourite has always been Fallout NV for having both quantity and quality in the quests ( I disregard the actuall combat because it's a WRPG and you can not fight people at all, in gameplay I count the questing and dialogue tree navigation). For strategy games most of what has appealed to me are old FE games and Xcom. There are a lot of others but these are the top. Planning to get Dragons Dogma as I have heard that is the best action game ever made

Also the reason I didn't like Nier's combat is because it was very limited, turning it into mostly a mash X fest. I fel the same thing with MGR R, but that game is 5 hours long and half of it was unique bosses with gimmicks, preventing it from getting boring. Nier is like 20

you listed quite a few of my favourite games but I fail to see where Nier is bland compared to most of them. Not saying you are wrong or anything this is just opinions I guess. Just saying, I liked how you had different types of gameplay in Nier, with riding the Boar or the 2D parts in the crater or in the castle dungeon along with fishing and farming, I really enjoyed that it broke up the game a little and made it interesting and fresh for me. I guess with Platinum on board for Nier 2 we can expect a little Bayo influence for the combat, should be neat I guess.

hmm good taste nigger, esp DMC and Max Payne had tight as shit controls if you ask me. I can see how Nier can't keep up with them but personally I thought DD was kinda clunky when it came to the controls, still enjoyed it a lot though. But yeah gameplay is quite a few factors...

DD was carried by the amount of crazy, varied, and fun shit you can do. Even a boring class like warrior can be fun when you smashed enemies like griffins to the ground.

But yeah, I look at game play first and Nier was mediocre imo. I definitely stayed for the story, not the game play.

It was a japanese game, people assumed it was like hentai and didn't support it. Or they thought it was like Final Fantasy and were upset by the "gameplay".

You'd have to be a dumb fucker or a troll to say it's a good game but there were many bullshit reasons used to call it bad.

Music is fucking 10/10 material.

Graphics are pretty good. I like the older PS2 style stuff though, so that's just personal.

Gameplay is very basic stuff. Not too good.

Really, listen to the entire soundtrack, and that's all you really need.
