Nier is Hopefully Not Too Far

Nier,or Nier Gestalt as it goes by these days, is one of those titles that I really feel could go either way. It could be a really compelling experience with a narrative that draws you in with some really deep action elements, or it could be a largely forgettable title with little to allow it to stand out among other similar entries in the genre.

The design of the game is decidedly Square Enix and if we have learned anything from their protagonists, there will be a rich melencholy right below the surface of the gruff devil may care attitude. Will the style of the game be enough? Or is there going to be a serious substance as well. Check out some new gameplay footage out of the Tokyo Game Show and give your opinions.

For me, it seems that with the unrefined camera and the "we are going to throw everything at you in an attempt to simulate difficulty" style, it may be cause for some concern. However, this is all speculation at this point, right?
