Comment on How one unexpected game (Nier Automata) changed the Steam Deck forever

  And also justified praise.

  There could never be a story like Nier Automata on any medium outside of gaming, and there probably is no story like Nier Automata anywhere else in gaming right now.

  Also, clicking robots is pretty fun.

    This is my first play through of Witcher 3, and I have been extremely impressed with the story, even if it doesn’t quite compare with any contemporaries in more traditional media. Like, I’m playing it, and the game could easily be on the level of the earlier GoT books in its story. However, some aspects feel like its not quite able to straddle the medium.

    Gonna grab this on steam and I’ll let you know. Probably will play well on the deck?

      Just wanted to drop you a thanks for starting this sub-thread. I also recently finished W3 (after a couple of false starts) and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I know it’s just a step-and-fetch game, but the storytelling has spoiled me for shallower content (plus I suuuuuuuck at aiming a firearm with the joystick so I’ve yet to get into Cyperpunk). Anyway, Nier GOTY is in my catalog so the responses to you have been illuminating.

      I’ve made it close to the end of Witcher 3 and loved every minute of it, I just got obsessed with factorio at the time and kinda stopped playing lol. Completely agree that the story is absolutely amazing in that game, the characters are awesome and even side quest stories are very well done, let alone the main quest stories.

      Automata is better than that IMO and that’s not a slight against Witcher, Nier is just that good when it comes to the story.

      It ran at a steady 60 FPS / 1080p for me on my ancient GTX 970 / i7 4790k when I first played it so the steam deck should be more than enough to play the game.

    The anime was pretty disappointing after having played the game. I feel like it could’ve been adapted well with a bit more creativity.

      Honestly I reserve my judgment to when the anime finishes. The game really improves on its second part, which has not been adapted yet (but should come this year)
