Square Enix announced that their action RPG NieR: Automata has reached a new milestone with over 3.5 million in worldwide shipments and digital downloads since launching in February 2017.

Of the 3.5 million in worldwide shipments and downloads, one million was from Japan and Asia on the PlayStation 4.

To give you an idea how it has been selling, in June of this year the Platinum Games-developed NieR: Automata hit 3 million. Earlier in March of this year, the title was at 2.5 million. The first milestone of one million was reached shortly after its release in April 2017, then 1.5 million in May 2017, and two million in September 2017.

NieR: Automata is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

It's the first game in the series with good gameplay though, original Nier was almost tolerable and I played the first story and a bit. Drakengard games are horrible when it comes to gameplay.

True, but its the story and of its mysteries, call backs, and Easter eggs can only be appreciated if one has played all the games.

The lore runs deep in the DrakenNier franchise.

The connection between Drakengard and NIER is really weak though. It's completely irelevent to the story iirc.

Nier is a spinoff of drakengard. Cant count the OG titles to the spinoff.

Its like counting the main MegaTen games along to the Persona series.

It only seems that way because all the connections are not blatantly in your face. Regardless, it doesn't matter if the connections are weak, they are still in the same universe.

That being said Yoko Taro said the connections to the first Nier weren't a priority; he just wanted to tell a good ass story first

And ending E is one of those things that if you experience it right is one of the greatest moments in gaming history.

Yeah. When I realized those messages were from other players, I can't begin to describe what that did to me.

IIRC Japan hated the joke ending of Drakengard and Yoko Taro decided to base Nier off of it.

I think I liked the original Nier better.

Automata was good but had a watered down version of Platinum combat (which I love)

I thoroughly enjoyed it but would like a sequel with better gameplay. And also a gimmick that doesnt involve playing through the game four times

I don't think it should get a sequel, honestly. It would only diminish the quality of Nier and Automata. I'd prefer Yoko Taro do something new that draws people to his creativity and causes them to go replay said games.
