Thinking of getting this myself, never played the PS3 version. On topic: Finished Nier Automata, got all the main endings, and some of the random ones, plus beat the Emil clones. Best game I've played since Bloodborne, 4/5PS4
Nier: Replicant-a solid remake of a middling title that was big on ideas, like most of Yoko Taro's games, but lacking in execution. Saddled with fetchquesting, backtracking, farming and busywork that felt ancient 15 years ago, this release benefits from an improved framerate and game engine that makes the experience more bearable this time around. I also think that a Marketplace programmed to engage with games like this in a certain way may have missed its narrative subtleties. Nier: Automata somehow executed on its premise with greater affinity because of a vastly superior combat engine that was far more satisfying and a less subtle and more poignant implementation of its philosophical ideas. Automata was less impenetrable and it also benefitted from an online community that was efficiently able to discuss its concepts. The previous version of Nier on PS3 and XBOX 360 just didn't have an audience so whatever it was trying to day, not that many people were hearing it. The game feels faster and smoother now, and doesn't feel like it's wasting as much of your time now.

I've thought about this game as my next online adventure. I hear mixed things about the online connectivity and enemy variety, but if the gameplay and looting is there then I'm inOutriders PC
The game is quite fun. It's got an non-Western story. Pretty gritty for sci fi. Borderlands-esque loot collecting.
I'm approaching the end. My main complaint is the lack of variety in enemies. You have 3-4 alien mobs and 3-4 human mobs. The bosses are a little more unique, but they are infrequent. It'll be interesting to see if this game has an endgame outside of the loot grind.
I like the challenge of the difficult rating. It pushes you to want to play on harder and harder difficulty levels. I've never seen a game make you want to level up the difficulty. Great system. Currently on difficulty 10 of 15. Trying to unlock more and more as I play.

I remember getting this one on switch and not clicking with it either. It was not bad, just boring to mePS4
Sine Mora- I knew this game existed and that it had involvement from a lot of people whose work I have enjoyed but I just never bothered with it. It's okay hasn't knocked my socks off considering I was expecting Progear as interpreted by Suda 51 or something along those lines. I feel like there is some sort of basic scoring mechanic that isn't making itself apparent to me. The story mode sucks ass and I hate the trend in newer chumps to add a bunch of useless dialogue and in game cut scenes.
