recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

Nier Automata. I played it for a few hours but it didn’t really catch me. I found the combat and the world too boring. People were telling me it gets better especially if you play through the multiple endings. I mean I couldn’t even get myself to finish it once… I just moved on to another game.

I like Nier Automata a lot, but I still think the advice you got was pretty crappy. If you don’t find the world interesting and don’t like the combat then beating the game multiple times is not going to change your mind. That’s like encouraging someone to read a book series they don’t like because you think the ending of book 5 is great.

NA is great because of the characters. They're extremely well fleshed out and undergo a serious growth during the game events. I think that if you don't care about the characters then it's not worth playing. Plot and combat are accessories to the character developments.

My situation was worse; I played through to Ending A, and decided to stop because it was miserable, both on a gameplay and a writing level. A fanatic for the game insisted it was about to get much better, and so I continued. It got much, much worse and the ending felt incredibly pointless.
