    Nah, never going to happen.

    I get bored if I have to do the same thing more than twice. The game is then wasting my time and I can easily just go play some other game that doesn’t do that. I already have too little gaming time as it is. I rather see new stuff than the same shit over and over.

    Let me blitz through the story without much hassle. I don’t need to “prove” my gaming skills to anyone, including myself. Life already is frustrating enough. Don’t need it in my spare time as well.

    Nier Automata with automated skills >>>>>>>>>>>>> any difficult souls game

      I wanted to enjoy Nier Automata’s “astounding, award-winning story”, and so I slowly ended up using all automatic skills to fast forward the boss fights, frustrated that I’d ended up with a one-button character.

      It was STILL a huge slog. Half the late game bosses were absolute bullet sponges that were rarely vulnerable and took 15-25 minutes to whittle down. There clearly could have been some RPG number disparity, but it wasn’t clear, and it wasn’t alleviated by the tools given.

      To cap it off, story was abysmal. Literally the worst game I’d finished that decade.

        I’m never going to say that that game was for everyone despite loving it myself. And if a boss took me 15+ min to finish, I’d have been exhausted by that loop. But also the tools they gave prevented that from ever happening because they did provide the tools. Just sorry it didn’t click with you, both story and gameplay.
