Posted June 18, 2019 Really looking forward to this. Looks like an incredibly deep and rich game from Platinum. If the combat has their usual quality and feel, and the town and environments have some interesting lore and depth, then this might be my game of the year. ....just too bad it releases exactly as I'm gonna be a father of twins. So I guess I won't be able to play this for.... maybe two or three years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah probably a couple fallow years of gaming for you, but it won't be long until you can start familial co-oping. I'd start a list of all the games you want to play with them when they're ready (this one included). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably a good idea to have a list ready If it was just one it'd be easier to find some co-op games, but with twins I need 3-player co-op at least (if I'm to join in). But yeah, it's gonna be a good time I'm sure. Chaotic and hectic, but good! I'm playing as much as I can now before all hell breaks loose I think I need to get on with playing NieR before I call it quits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 17, 2019 I actually pre-orderde the limited edition for this one.. But I'm considering downgrading it, as I'm not sure if I actually like the artwork enough for me to want the artbook. I am really looking forward to the game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2019 There's no online functionality in this game at all, right? Seem to recall something about online play, but may have imagined it. If there's no online features then I'll get the physical version of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 6, 2019 ShopTo has an exclusive t-shirt with pre-orders, but it only comes in Large https://www.shopto.net/en/swas52-astral-chain-p62119/ As a brand new IP, I'm hoping this will get a demo on the eShop in order to persuade those currently on the fence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Are there any indications yet on how many hours this might take to complete? Honestly it’s getting slightly stressful trying to beat everything before the next major release comes out. Edited August 16, 2019 by Tim B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not that far in the game but given what I've played I'd guess about 15 hours for the main story on casual. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 20, 2019 Now up on the main site. I watched most of the video either, it looks amazing, one might even say that it's... ...off the chain. (Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 20, 2019 I know it's only out in just over a week, but did Nintendo not want to make this game playable at Gamescom and Insomnia 65? Seems a curious omission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 21, 2019 And I oop - it scored 9/10/9/9 from Famitsu. The same as Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Super Mario Maker 2 very recently. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 25, 2019 This is almost selling as much as Super Mario Maker 2 on Amazon UK now. Could well be No. 1 in the UK next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
