@gaff: I don't have a PS4; but if it came to PC I'd absolutely get this game. I knew nothing about the Yakuza series before today (or actually, before the QL Jeff did last month), but it looks fantastic.
I'm totally fine with Dan, or anyone, not understanding quantum theory. I'm not fine with him not understanding the basic concept of adventure games. And I can't believe its actually true that he doesn't.
I disliked basically everything about the original Nier except for the voice acting of the magic book and the really bizarre background for the game (being a spin-off of the hidden 5th ending of Drakengard, an ending that makes no sense in the context of that game; not that anything really made sense in that game).
Nothing else appealed to me; especially not the gameplay. But I also thought the story was hot nonsense, and not the fun kind.
