Nier getting DLC (probably won’t be worth it)

Square Enix action extravaganza Nier is getting downloadable content, and you’ll be expected to pay. At least, if you’re rocking the Eastern variants. So far, the new DLC has only been confirmed for the Japanese versions Nier Gestalt and Nier Replicant, but since the Western version (just called Nier) has a DLC option in the menu, we can safely assume we’ll be getting it too. 

All that has been revealed about the DLC thus far is that it will include a special arena featuring an endless battle option and new items that can be used during the full course of the game. It seems Square Enix is set to reveal the date and price next week. 

You’ll notice Destructoid does not have a Nier review yet. This is because it’s one of the most exhausting games ever made, straddling the line between acceptable and terrible at every moment. It’s not a game you either love or hate, it’s a game you either hate or forgive, and we’re not sure if we’re able to forgive a terrible fishing minigame, endless fetch quests, forced and repeated text adventure sections, and some of the worst backtracking we’ve seen this generation. 

The talking book is funny though!
