ArtMediocre Posted June 18, 2019 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd start a list of all the games you want to play with them when they're ready (this one included). 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.C.G Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Just the standard edition for me, trying to save where I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted July 17, 2019 Share 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.

RedShell Posted July 18, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they vaguely hinted at maybe something down the line, but not in the base game as far as I know.

Tim B Posted August 6, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted August 16, 2019 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted August 20, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted August 21, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted August 25, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
