I beat legend of zelda, working on Zelda 2 still and going through Dead Space for DS2. I'm in the mood for a good console jrpg as I haven't played one in a while but I'm also in an action gaming mood. How exploration heavy is Nier? Lots of quests? How deep is the combat? How good is the story? I know it's experimental and replayable but I'm going to get all three but I dunno which to grab first.

PS3? Vanquish
X360? Bayonetta or Vanquish

This.
Buy a 360 and Bayonetta, Himu.
-
Bayonetta, I can't even believe that you actually had to ask this.
-
Buy both Nier and Bayonetta. Play one of them.
Wait for Vanquish to drop in price then play it.
-
Holy Shit, Nier is 15 new at gamestop now. I'll get that and bayo or vanq. Do Bayo and Vanquish feature lots of Easter eggs and. Multiple modes and reasons to replay like Ninja Gaiden/RE4/DMC3?
-
Right now it's an issue of content. I'm in the mood of depleting a game over and over which is why I asked because Vanquish seems barebones.
-
uh
Nier + Bayo, end of story
Vanquish is complete garbage

Told you it's cheap. Get that and Aye Bay Bay for now. Vanquish is great, but it is barebones compared to these two.
-
Nier and Bayonetta are both under $20 now. Wait for a drop on Vanquish.
-
uh
Nier + Bayo, end of story
Vanquish is complete garbage
Weren't a big Gears fans? Isn't Vanquish another cover based shooter?
-
:bow bayonetta
been playing the shit out of it this weekend; just unlocked the hardest difficulty. it's got three real difficulties, 20-odd dmc-style challenges, a shitty collect-a-thon, and gameplay good enough to justify playing it all. SO GOOD
-
I'm glad you agree RMan. Unfortunately, many people believe Vanquish isnt.
-
Get Super Meat Boy on Steam when it goes on sale again while you're at it.

Himu, Bayonetta is $19.99 at Gamestop. You can get both it and Nier for less than what Vanquish currently costs. You know what you must do.
-
Yeah, I'm going for Bayo and Nier. Getting my cousin a copy of Bayo for xmas too.
-
Bayo's $15 on Amazon.
After Christmas I'm gonna get that and Neir for thirty American dollars.
-
gamefly's probably gonna have both of those games dirt cheap for their sale.
-
You really are the backbread of this forum.
-
gamefly's probably gonna have both of those games dirt cheap for their sale.
Bayonetta is already $17.99, so yeah, dirt cheap come Wednesday.

How exploration heavy is Nier?
There's some exploration, but it's not really the focus of the game. The cities and fields are pretty open, but the world isn't particularly large or anything.
Lots of quests?
There are a lot of sidquests, but most of them are terrible fetch quests that send you into a dungeon to farm 10 rare items that have a 2% drop rate. There are several good quests, but most of them suck.
How deep is the combat?
Not deep at all. There's like five or six weapons styles (spears, swords, axes, etc), they all have one combo, one special attack, and one jump attack. There's also some magic spells you can mix into your attacks. Enemies have pattern-based attacks that you can avoid by rolling, like most action games. As a whole, it's pretty shallow, but still fun.
How good is the story?
Great. Best story in a game in at least five or six years. Make sure you play it at least twice though.
Both Bayonetta and Vanquish are amazing games, but Bayonetta has more content by far. Bayonetta is like DMC, with a deep combo system, lots of enemy variety, and a pretty good (but easily exploitable) scoring system. Vanquish is like an arcade game. It doesn't have a ton of content, but it has high replayability and high difficulty (it's much harder than Bayonetta). The scoring system in it is pretty simple, but it works well with the game. It's based entirely on how fast you can complete a stage while killing as many enemies as possible.
To summarize, Bayonetta and Vanquish are what single player gaming is all about. :bow
-
wtf?Himu didn't play Bayonetta?
And now he will play PS3 version :rofl
:yuck
-
Nier is the number 1 game out of those but is different to Bayo and Vanquish. Just get all 3, I did
-
:lol @ Methodis
Anyway Nier is on my to-get list. Heard nothing but praise about that game.
Is there like a Polish Gamefly? If so, play Nier that way. I personally wouldn't buy it unless you can get it dirt cheap. I liked the story and all but having to play it 3 or 4 times to get the real end rubs me the wrong way and the game is loaded with monotonous filler, not to mention it looks like an upscaled PS2 title. Nice soundtrack though.

At the time it was down to Bayo or Mass Effect 2.
-
Bayonetta is kinda shit on the PS3. Not that it looks great on the 360, but at least it's running smoothly at 60fps most of the time. I hate playing games like this with a shaky framerate 'cause it's all about the timing.
-
Holy Shit, Nier is 15 new at gamestop now. I'll get that and bayo or vanq. Do Bayo and Vanquish feature lots of Easter eggs and. Multiple modes and reasons to replay like Ninja Gaiden/RE4/DMC3?
Vanquish just has the main mode and the challenge mode. I don't get why you'd need "reasons to replay" other than just enjoying how it plays. It is like an arcade game or old type of shooter that's short and about mastery rather than (poor wording) content. Well, there are worthless statues to shoot for an achievement.
also, play Nier first. It's great for a lot of reasons but it isn't by strength of the mechanics the same way it is for Vanquish and Bayonetta.
-
Himu, Bayonetta is $9.98 at Amazon.
-
Himu, Bayonetta is $9.98 at Amazon.
And Nier's $15, so you get could both games right now, new, for $25.
-
Got both, giving Bayo a test to see how inferior it is to 360.

YOU ARE REALLY THE BACKBREAD OF THIS FORUM ITS GREAT MAN I JSUT FUCKING LOVEY OU MAN I AM CHRYING WRITING THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE SO AMAZING MAN
:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Get NIER
The rest is easily avoidable.
