Poll: Should I get NIER or Red Dead Redemption?

[Defense]

I know it's too late, but I'm still gonna say NieR despite not playing Red Dead Redemption. However, you can probably find better deals on NieR than that. I saw one going for $15 used at Gamestop, and it looked like it was in good condition.

Then again, you have an anime DP so perhaps Nier for you.

I fail to see how the two are related.

Japanese Role-playing Games are very similar to Anime, which are also made in Japan.

That's how they're related.

I must have missed the meeting then.

I played both of the games, and i liked both of them.

The stories for both made me emotional (which isnt really that hard).

combat wise, i liked Nier a lot more. If you played a lot of 3rd person shooters, you know what RDR is. It's grand theft auto with a bullet time mechanic.Every battle it's a similar concept. You see enemies, you use deadeye, you pick as many heads as possible, then clean up whats left over. There are no real special fights. It only mixed it up when you got to use Gatling guns and cannons once in a while. It bored me pretty quickly though. Nier is more like a combination of those flying games and action RPG's. You have to dodge evemies that fire large magic balls at you and combo them with swords and magic. Bosses have a nice variety to them. A small part of the game is even a text-based adventure.


Basically if you arent bored of 3rd person shooters, RDR is good. If you are, Nier has a lot of original ideas.

Okay... An anomaly...

Your point is?

Just because it's Japanese doesn't mean that it's suddenly in the same vein of anime. NieR isn't like anime at all.

Red Dead Redemption hands down.

Really? Because I've seen quite a few animes and played quite a few RPGs and other than the fact the characters looked the same, a majority of the RPGs I played and the Anime's I looked at had nothing in common :/

Are you talking about personalities? Because if thats the case, then I could say the same about American games with bald headed arrogant action heros :/

They're both fine games. Buy both.

Read Dead was good but not amazing. However, I've never played NIER so I wouldn't know. I clicked Other, I'm sure Mass Effect 2 has dropped, (it's like 20 bucks at gamestop, I don't know about Amazon) otherwise there's Fallout New Vegas, Assassin's Creed 11 or Brotherhood...the list of better games goes on.

Assassin's Creed 11. OMFG! What happens!?!?!

Ahahahah.

I was thinking about putting II. Instead I put double ones...let me fix that.

 

[SUPA FRANKY]

Get both. Nier is preety cheap at around $15 bucks. Probably get Nier first, then Red Dead.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Both.

Just be aware the RDR's online sucks even worse than GTA4's online.
