Good for Platinum. Let's hope they can keep a decent salest streak from here on out.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

Considering how harsh Kamiya can get toward other developers, hearing this is nothing short of impressive. Another reminder that I have to play this new Nier.

Makes sense Kamiya and Yoko get along well, they are both very talented and a bit crazy.

Who's Yoko?
Starting Nier Automata as soon as I am done with Bloodborne!

It's the dude who killed the beatles and he is rightfully thanking him.

The Beatles weren't that bad mayne.
