But wait, not only that, apparently they received a new shipment of Horizon: Zero Dawn yesterday! (They had run out.) Nier: Automata and Horizon: Zero Dawn are only available at full release prices, but ME:A has already come down to $50, which is pretty close to what I was willing to pay for DA:I a couple of months after its release. Horizon is apparently a fairly short game, and if that's the case, I'd probably be willing to wait a couple of more months to get it cheaper. Nier appears have a lot of content, and has been reviewed quite well (at least on console.) Now sure, I could skip a couple of cases of beer in the next few weeks and get all three, but how would I justify my beer-drinking profile pic? Also, how could I spark energetic professional wrestling forum discussion comparing the games in question? The fellow at Microplay (the good one, not the bad Microplay that's on my shitlist - that one's in the south end of town, those bastards) was quick to praise Horizon as the best game within the last year, and also to say that he feels ME:A is unfairly criticized (not to say he claimed it was a great game, just that he felt the comparison to the original trilogy was over-emphasized.) Of course, I do not expect rational thoughts about how the games stack up in value to other recent releases, nor any kind of fair or objective thoughts. I want people throwing chairs and Witcher-style beheadings. Unless you don't feel up to it. Also, beheadings is apparently not a word, according to spellcheck, which means GRRM has some 'splaining to do!

MEA had price drop on the premium edition as soon as the game got release.
...It was really pathetic. EA & BW were freaking out over not selling enough premium pack apparently.
I am currently playing MEAMP & Persona 5($40). Next game will be Nier.
I paid $100 for MEA. At least I am saving some money on other games.

1. H:ZD is better than MEA but that's like saying King of Queens is better than Big Bang Theory, you're not really raising a bar there, you're trading five hours of variable quality story and gameplay for "unlimited hours" of bullshit bethesda "raiders have kidnapped my daughter you just brought back 2 seconds ago" fetchquests, and frankly the practical gamecap is level 80 because BWM can't balance shit for shit. Also what you think is the spoiler for HZD is not.
2. Nier has an outfit changer you can buy but frankly 2B is about as sexual as a fire hydrant, and her outfit is literally blatant nostalgia for something that doesn't even actually exist anymore, also spoiler territory reduces her sexual quotient to pretty much zero about 3 hours into the story.
3. The game is 30, so 50 is a ripoff. Frankly 30 is a ripoff.

I never finished Horizon but from what I played of it, it seemed pretty long and there seemed to be a lot to do in it, it was just VERY boring though cause it felt too repetitive to me. A shame since it was such a beautifully made game. I'm curious about Nier but not sure I'll take the chance on it.

I am too lazy to read reviews or Google, what are these games about again?
And are they open world? Because I'm too ADD to play those games any more.

A shame since it was such a beautifully made game. I'm curious about Nier but not sure I'll take the chance on it. They took the fallout route, basically there's like seven "things" you can do which all boil down to variations of the same thing, and that's your "hours" of gameplay, they just didn't take it to the moribund and banal level of rote repetition that MEA did. That said it's still a sandbox and like every other sandbox game aside from BloodBorne or Souls it's wide and shallow rather than long and deep in engaging the player with mechanical play.

HZD is a sandbox.
Nier is "open world", but you are on a very definite path, and there are definite stages of progression where going back is a thing you will do, but for very specific reasons and for very terminal one time goals, the number of side quests is definitely capped. Mostly because the amount of prozac you can get while playing this game is also capped.

Nier is very nice. Especially if you are a console peasant, becuase the pc masterrace apparently didn't appease the gods enough to get proper controls (still playable, but also an excercise in frustration, esp during hacking). But worth it though, imho. Initially i said wtfisthishit, and regreted not getting deluxe mea. Now i feel nier was so very worth it, while regretting not waiting for discounts on mea.... yeah, my life's a rollercoaster.
Can't play horizon, as i will not stoop down to mere consoles. Call me when it gets ported.

What? No Poll?
For my 2-pence, I Plat'ed HZD, absolutely loved it, not for the first 5 odd hours though, which seems like a long time to give a piece of media that isn't exciting you, but I'm so glad I pushed through. Plus it's absolutely gorgeous.
MEA is good too. Good.
NEIR I haven't played yet, I'm actually waiting for that one to go down in the sale in the UK. Defo getting it though, all I hear are good things.
Or you could just buy Persona 5.

In the end, I'm going to get all three, but after chatting with my salesguy for a while, I decided I'd grab ME:A for today. Now, in very short order, I plan to drink as much as I can, press record on the ol' PVR, and promptly take my level 1-whatever into Gold and piss off whichever poor suckers get RNG'd into my nightmare.

Nier is a 10 hours game and it costs more than Andromeda.
