Board 8 > HEADS UP! Nier: Automata Day One DLC is very literal, expires today!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Get those fucking codes in I guess!
---

Oh shit, ty for the heads up







but what is it
---

A machine head mask, a bunch of pod skins, and one that turns your pod into Weiss.

The Weiss one is the one I think people are going to get upset if they miss, to put it lightly.
---

are these packaged with the game?
---

Yep, a paper in the box.
---

but my game doesn't even come until Thursday
---

You sure you read that correctly? Mine says it expires 3/7/27
---

Yeah I'm fairly sure they don't expire today
---

lmao that would be hilarious
---

what's more likely, that LtM incorrectly read the expiration date or that Yoko Taro printed a select number of pre-order DLC that expires the day the game came out?
---

I was just thinking the other day that, given the series' habit of messing with gaming conventions, it would be entirely in-character to have some completely cosmetic DLC that was only available with pre-orders. Something totally and utterly inconsequential that would nonetheless cause gamers to go apeshit over the realisation that most of them would never be able to get it.

So... maybe I was right?

If this lasts to at least like when Automata comes out on PC in a week and a half that'll be pretty good
---

Also yesssssss Yoko Taro
---

Day 1 don't forget.
---

I hope you all put your codes in too late now.
---

I'm going to buy Automata on 3/6/2027 and put in that code at the last possible moment
---

the game continues to troll you
---

If there is significantly more than this first real credits role other than some ending changes, I'm gonna say I got trolled pretty hard indeed.
---

Oh. Well.
---

I'm making sure this is known.
---

Raising awareness.
---

Oh hey. The game started. 30 hours in.
---

But I'm only 5 hours in and I'm having fun
---

I mean, yeah, it's a good prologue.
---

Yes but did you redeem your DLC first?
---

Oh shit I didn't fuck.

Guess I'm screwed.
---

Listen I tried to tell you.
---

why not have an actual discussion topic?

too many spoilers actually nevermind
---

Also where do you get the DLC? I installed my code but I don't have any items
---

I found them in the items section idk


i also now have one of the boxes under "defense" in the start menu filled in? No idea what that means.

I really want to find a fist weapon, i just finally got a spear
---

Yeah I found my DLC stuff in my key items.
---

This is probably one of my favorite humor scenes from a game (not really spoilers, it's from a sidequest just after a few bosses in):

Romeos and Juliets
