WOW the trailer was pretty epic, the story seems interesting.

The graphics look mediocre in some bits but awesome in others

Might be a "buy when cheaper" game for me.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Ill be passing on this game, Saving my money for Red Dead Redemption and MNR.

Here is the IGN AU review for it http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/108/1085474p1.html

IGN AU Ratings for Nier (PS3)
Rating Description
out of 10
7.5 Presentation
Solid menus, maps and an unobtrusive HUD give Nier a little spit-polish shine.
6.5 Graphics
Inconsistent but occasionally impressive. Nier looks like a B-team title through and through - but there are moments that will grab you.
8.5 Sound
Excellent score that evokes the right feel for the far-flung future fantasy. The voice actors do a great job with unremarkable storytelling.
7.0 Gameplay
The ideas and the ambition are there in spades, but nothing really stands out. Nier is a great example of how too many ideas can be just as bad as not enough.
7.5 Lasting Appeal
It's a grand adventure - a couple dozen hours to see most of the story, plus side quests and endings.
7.3
Decent
OVERALL

I thought this review was pretty fair:

Drakengard has a 63 on metacritic and that game was a hellafun action game from Cavia.



The problem seems to be that it tries too many things at once & never excels in one department.

Lets see what users say about it.

EDIT:

There's a NEW GAME + option

I went from a rent to a buy after exams.

To be honest, the fishing and farming things seem to be the most appealing parts (for me).  Probably won't buy it till it drops to $10-20 though.



Playing Chrono Cross atm. Not a bad game, but it is a piss poor sequel to Chrono Trigger. :/

Want to play NIER instead.



Yes, square-enix said on twitter that the sales of nier is really good in japan and sold out. Yep that's the ps3 version which is replicant, the one with pretty boy as the protagonist, the one that won't get out of japan (right?). Overseas will get that rough looking old man....
