I like it, better than the overhyped overrated critically acclaimed nier , nier made me disappointed about action jRPGs but this has the potential.
Im there day one, played the demo twice
Just beat the demo is was kinda fun. It would be nice if this somehow made it's way to game pass day 1.

Here are my thoughts after about a half hour of play on Xbox One X.
"This is awesome! What the hell is going on?"
"I have no idea where I'm supposed to be going! Oh, the whole game world is only a few feet wide. I'll find my destination eventually."
I looked at the menu/inv/skills pages. I'm never going to learn all that.
Just played on the series s.
What I liked:
Cool character models, awesome combat, excellent special effects, locked 60 frames.
What I disliked:
Linear stages, generic world (mix of SAO Fatal Bullet + Code Vein + God Eater 3 assets style), terrible enemy design, animu as fuck, I didn't care about the story and characters at all.
Seems fine, I will play on game pass eventually.
How could you care about the characters and story, they intentionally don't give you the heavy story bits, just what appears to be a general new recruit training mission of sorts.
Here are a few things to watch I guess to get an idea for the world and what's going on.
Ehh. Looks average.
Having played through Code Vein multiple times now, this game seems to be a step up in terms of graphical detail but the gameplay looks far less engaging. Mash mash mash, psychic throw, mash mash mash, anime cutscene finisher/super move.
It doesn't have to be a masher if you don't want it to be. From the demo it's clearly not your typical masher. Some combinations of enemies really put up fight, forcing you to utilize certain SAS abilities and focusing on specific enemies first. You have to be a bit more deliberate and pick your spots in some cases, especially with the boss enemy shown. Depending on the combination of enemies, you have to target and stun or expose a weakness of a specific enemy fast to remove them from the fight.
That’s kind of the bare minimum for a game like this.
Would have rather they made the psychic stuff central to combat and hack and slash secondary. Hell - Gravity Rush 1 and 2 gave this game a template to work with… Instead, this game feels like the sort of copy paste anime action-rpg game we have been playing for the last 10 years.
Maybe there is something more here (Code Vein and Tales of Berseria surprised me a little bit) but from what has been shown so far, this feels like low 70s on Metacritic.
has it been? That would be amnazing if it does and save me 60.00 lolI wouldn't be surprised. It's been heavily marketed with Xbox from the start. We shall see. I'm definitely buying this, though. Certain games I just plain have to throw money down on to support the team further.

I Hope so that would be awesome if they did. I'm trying ot sve up for a ps5 atm so if it comes to game pass that saves me some money.Yep, the game was first revealed at Xbox's event, and since then it has been marketed heavily with Xbox. It wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if it were actually secretly a game pass day one, but they're waiting closer to release to make that clear. Either way, though I subscribe to Game Pass, this game must get my money, as any game I truly love does.
This is why I chose Playstation and Nintendo over Xbox, I'm a big fan of Japanese games and most Japanese games I enjoy just skips over Xbox. Even with Scarlet Nexus MS only got the marketing rights for the game so they get demo a week sooner but when full game releases I still get to play it on my Playstation.You can think about us Xbox gamers when we will be waiting 2 years to play Athia and one year for FF XVI. Still cannot play FF VII Remake as well.
Its the same for me with anything JRPG, annoying really but is what it is.This is why I chose Playstation and Nintendo over Xbox, I'm a big fan of Japanese games and most Japanese games I enjoy just skips over Xbox.

It's what it is because most Japanese games sell more on Playstation and Nintendo over Xbox. I mean NiER Replicant also came out on Xbox but I'm pretty sure it sold more on Playstation because most audience for most Japanese games are on that system.Its the same for me with anything JRPG, annoying really but is what it is.
Thing pushing me to get this on Series X is how incredible it looks in 4K.
I'm prdtty sure it's more than just the producer.This game screams God Eater (Shift) all over the place. If anything the tales guys are probably in the minority. Especially when considering the amount of people currently working onTales of Arise.I think because one of producers from Code Vein is also on this.
This is why I don't choose Playstation as I don't want to support the shit practices from Sony that consist on locking multi-platform games to a single console with money.This is why I chose Playstation and Nintendo over Xbox, I'm a big fan of Japanese games and most Japanese games I enjoy just skips over Xbox.

Blame you Xbox buddies. Every hint of numbers of Japanese game sales on Xbox point at them may as well not bothering. Look at nier replicant and kingdom hearts 3 sales in uk with both having an 80% split towards ps4. Even if it’s a bit better in the us you lose like 20-30 percent of sales but get Sony money and improve your partnership.This is why I don't choose Playstation as I don't want to support the shit practices from Sony that consist on locking multi-platform games to a single console with money.
One day Square-Enix will understand how disrespectful this is for the Xbox fans trying to support them.
If majority of Xbox players are not interested in Japanese games why Japanese developers should bother releasing their games on Xbox?This is why I don't choose Playstation as I don't want to support the shit practices from Sony that consist on locking multi-platform games to a single console with money.
UK retail sales don't mean anything. You can't compare incomplete numbers from a single country and draw worldwide conclusions. And there is a good chance that Xbox players buy more digital games. There are more PS4 than Xbox out there, so the split could never be 50/50 anyway. 30% split looks pretty good to me taking all of this into account.Look at nier replicant and kingdom hearts 3 sales in uk with both having an 80% split towards ps4.

What is your source to back this claim ? I see Xbox players playing Japanese games all the time.If majority of Xbox players are not interested in Japanese games why Japanese developers should bother releasing their games on Xbox?

These are "UK retail only" sales numbers[GI.biz] Nier Replicant debuts at #1 in the UK (89% of sales on PlayStation)
From GamesIndustryBiz, The remaster of a cult favourite 2010 PS3 game has topped the UK retail charts this week. Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139 tops the charts, knocking FIFA 21 down to No.2. The last Nier game that was released came in March 2017 in the form of the acclaimed Nier Automata...www.neogaf.com
NieR Replicant sold more on PlayStation than it did on Xbox. I personally love to games like 13 Sentinels or Sakura Wars on other platforms so they could sell more but if publishers see those games won’t sell much on Xbox then they are not gonna bother.
So let me ask you this, do you think in US Nier Replicant sold more on Playstation or Xbox? I mean you cant deny the fact there more fan for Japanese games on on Playstation and Nintendo than there is on Xbox.These are "UK retail only" sales numbers
Have you only read my previous post ? I address this point already.
You can get a good guess of what I think by reading the exact same post I was referring to.do you think in US Nier Replicant sold more on Playstation or Xbox?

Indeed. I only have a Master System.I take it you don't have an Xbox either then?
I will be getting Scarlet Nexus day one, exactly as I did for FF XV, Code Vein, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Dead or Alive 6, Dragon Ball Fighter Z, NieR Automata, NieR Replicant etc... Looking forward to Tales of Arise as well.Lets hope Scarlet Nexus sells well on Xbox, I want to see games like this to sell as much as possible, maybe will we see more Japanese publishers willing to release their games on Xbox.
