Maybe I'm just stingy now. But at $69.99 new, this play time to value ratio doesn't look all that appetizing for what looks to be a Nier knockoff.

What makes it a Nier knockoff?

That it's a hack n slash with a sexy girl? Wouldn't Nier be a Bayonetta knockoff, then?

Or if you ignore the sexy girl, a DMC knockoff?

Yeah, that's pretty much why I thought it was a Nier knockoff. It looks to be a hack and slash with a sexy girl and a little floating robot following behind her.

And you're not wrong about that being a knock off of Bayonetta and DMC.

The word knockoff inherently comes with the meaning of something being made with less effort, with lower quality results.

A well made imitation of the good stuff, means we get to enjoy more of the stuff. Calling something a knockoff is only warranted when the copy is bad, and not worth indulging.

And we can't know until it's available to play.

I remember the discourse before Automata actually came out, and how people saw 2B and thought the game couldn't possibly have merit beyond being horny.

But look at its cult status, today.
