wtf is that name lol?

"NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139..."

Is this some kind of joke i'm missing? I've never played and will never play any of these (I can't stand that anime cringe style) but why tf would they put the entire build version name in the title on steam? And what kind of backwards crap system do they have for numbering their versions?

lol just curious as I saw this when someone on my friendlist launched this and this obnoxious name hurt my eyes..

[NdNd]

Square root of 1.5. As for why they named it that way, no idea.

Sorry man,

"This game has a stupid name and I will never play it" probably won't win you any jester awards here.

The community doesn't care.

I'm not here for that, and I'd never play this even if it had a real name.

You have more than 10 hours in Starfield therefore your opinion is irrelevant.

NieR is weird. its a niche sequel to drakengard which is essentially the "game of thrones" of video games. dark ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up medieval fantasy. it will most likely never get a rerelease sadly as it's main cast consists of a repressed pedo, a deranged cannibal who thinks she's saving children by devouring them, and a hate filled main character who is implied to have had "relations" with his sister. yet all of this is handled very well and subtly in game.

it's a tragedy story about life after the end of humanity. androids attempting to keep false shells "Replicants" alive to one day transfer the digitized souls of humanity into. you play as a replicant who end up killing humanity losing everyone he loves in the process. NieR is less ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up but it does show dark themes and emotions in very believable ways especially in the final dungeon where the main character is emotionally broken

ver.1.22474487139.. has been confirmed by the director to be a random string of numbers he thought sounded cool. it also represents how this remaster of the original is in his eyes is more or less "an update". and it was built off the original's source code.
it's not the build number.

and dude you spent 50+ hours in "Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale". if you can stand that "cringe anime aesthetic" you can definitely stand NieR. it's a masterpiece. every game in the series is.
I hope you broaden your horizons. have a great day.

Jfc that's an even worse explanation than I could've ever imagined.

Well thanks for scrolling through 1000 games and thanks for reminding me. I am ashamed that stain is there from me playing that (although fun and unique core concept but oh so cringeworthy art style) game in like 2011.

I am going to the opposite, and narrow my horizons down, reduce scope and be much more specific in what I choose to spend time on in the future!

The number is square root of 1.5, simple as that. It was already answered in the 1st reply.
Any 5th grader would recongize that number.

1.5 obviosly refers to this being a remaster but with more changes than just visuals, yet its not a full remake.

Oh, yeah the name makes perfect sense then . . .

Infinitely more sense than crying about it.

Caim never had a a relationship with his sister, she wanted one with him though. Caim just wanted to murder the empire and their dragons who had killed his mother and father.
