this has probably been pointed out before, but i am just seeing that they not only slap a full price tag on a remake but also infest it with denuvo?
yeah.. thanks
Denuvo is for you to not pirate it, ppl still get all arms up with this denuvo thing, but it has been debunked many times it has little to do with performence and it rly might just save pc gaming from beeing a pirate land that nobody cares about.
Not having denuvo in pc games these days is like if they removed cops from the streets, it is free real state, i dont like some aspects of it, but it does its job.
sorry what i meant was; instead of asking full price (for an old game) and paying for denuvo sub. they might have offered it discounted and sold more units? flawed logic i know but still..
apart from that defending copy protection on the hump? how the mighty have fallen
I'm still on the fence if I'm gonna get this now or not.
I guess, I'll check the reviews later and decide.
Apparently there are some issues with the PC port as well

Unfortunately, the PC port comes with plenty of problems. There are no options for VSync and framerate limit, which is important because running it above 60fps speeds Replicant’s animations up, making boss fights much harder than they should be. A regular stutter, which seems to be linked to a controller issue on Steam, is equally annoying – mine would periodically disconnect during these stutters, so I suspect it has something to do with how it’s handling controller detection with Steam rather than poor optimisation. Whatever the culprit turns out to be, it’s not much fun to deal with in the middle of a fight

The technical aspects are much improved over the original, which struggled to maintain 30 fps, but they're not quite up to contemporary standards. There are no options related to framerate, and it appears to cap at 60 fps. You can bump up or down texture filtering, shadows, reflections, and LOD, but there could have been so much more here. I ran into a few odd technical problems, too, like serious frame drops when I accidentally unplugged my controller, or a persistent issue where my mouse point kept reappearing on my screen during cutscenes, which was not great for the game's sense of gravitas.
-No Vsync options.
-No FPS Limiting Options
-Some combat is tied to framerate and boss fights are much harder when played above 60fps
-Stuttering when using a controller
-Randomly disconnecting controller
Interesting how a game that was mostly mediocre back then now suddenly is a 9/10. And it wasn't techical faults holding it back then, so a technical upgrade is no fix. I'm NOT saying this is a bad game, it's certainly got it's charme, but even if this had Death Stranding graphics behind it it wouldn't be a 9/10.

from my understanding the remake even if its structurally same game with same issues improved and elevated its strong points

Even in its remastered form, Nier remains a singular and at times tedious game, a piece of art eager to try everything and constantly seeking out the hardest notes to hit. But it's also one of the most memorable games I've ever played, and the remaster captures and enhances its greatness in just about every way.
If you come into Nier expecting a direct prequel to Automata's cyberpunk-and-thigh-highs existentialist action, you won't find anything like that. Taking place literally thousands of years before that story, it's set in a post-apocalypse that's swung right back around to pastoral fantasy, following a boy and his sister in a world of magic diseases, monsters, and at least one talking book. As that boy, you'll be questing around a dark fantasy world while trying to cure your sister of a terrible disease, joining up with some of the best outcasts in gaming: Grimoire Weiss, the book; Kainé, a half-monster warrior woman who casually drops words like "shitpurse" into combat dialogue; and Emil, the sweetest little boy you've ever met who happens to have terrifying magic abilities.
The game plays out like a sort of dark pastiche of standard fantasy adventure games like The Legend of Zelda, delighting in videogame conventions while also subverting them and turning to deeper thematic territory, meditating on violence, human cruelty, and what it means to persist in a world that wants you dead and is probably dying itself. Along the way, you'll find sharp shifts in genre, like segments ripped out of bullet hell games or a dungeon crawl that switches to an isometric perspective to remind you of Diablo.
What that means, in practice, is that you'll be spending most of your time running around lush fields and dank dungeons, doing quests and fighting ethereal monsters called Shades. Taking after Automata, the combat is significantly more dynamic and fluid than it was in the original, with combos and dodges that feel graceful and responsive. Magic, once clunky and slow to use, is now integrated neatly into combat, letting you launch spells and ranged attacks parallel to standard melee fighting, which goes a long way toward making the player feel both powerful and fast. Parts of the game that were obtuse before are more clearly explained, like a notorious fishing minigame that now is less of a roadblock than it is an extended gag for those who can't figure it out. Nier's famous genre shifts pop more, too, now that the core combat mechanics are so much more entertaining. Before, digressions into weirder gameplay territory felt like a drag, slowing down the pace of fighting and exploring that could already feel incredibly dull. Now, they're a lot more welcome, tied together by big, dramatic battles.
So in 6 hours I'll know if I made the right decision
But it's only 18,3 gb are you downloading with dial up? And i thought my German shit DSL was bad (it's ~40min for me)

I dont get the praise, liked nier automata a lot. But this? I dont know, im 6h in, fought the boss in junkyard, and the game is a chore. Bring me this, bring me that, oh and deliver this parcel while you at it, ahh fuck off? I hope it gets better, but man, you need a lot of patience.

didnt even looked at the scores for this. 84, what ? The original release was filled with 4s, 5s and 6s, 11 years ago the game was shit. The only thing i can think off is they reevaluated this because of the Automata fetish and now they just felate the story and pretend the game is good. Who knows
I liked the original (not this) Nier better then Automata, even the gameplay i enjoyed more in original game, and all the rest like story, characters and music was far way better in original then Automata.
But it is funny seeing even reviewers now liking this much better then the original.
