I can't believe people posted in here. :u
I ended up pre-ordering NieR: Automata's ultimate edition (or whatever, the like .. $90 one). It's fantastic.
I am on my second playthrough, really taking my time with it. The nods to the original are my favorite, and the gameplay is so smooth! I'm really happy with the work they did on improving the gameplay.
@Lycanthus, I hope you were able to get a copy of the first NieR!
I still prefer it to Automata, honestly, but that may be because I played it first.
Did any of you guys finish Automata yet?
