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.
You can indeed automate just about any mechanic, yeah. But then you’ll use up your chip storage and miss out on cooler abilities.
And that is the beauty of it. You can make the game as easy or as difficult as you want. I am not going to tell you you played the game wrong, because there is no wrong. You should be allowed to play the game however you want, it is your time after all.
Maybe you would have enjoyed the bosses more if you played a different build. But maybe not.
I do hope you started a new game afterwards. Since the game does not end after the credits. You get to play completely different characters and see whole different perspective that explains so much more of the story, each time you restart.
Give the TV show a chance, it retells the entire story without slogging bossfights.
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.
Nah, never going to happen.

I think the genre you’re into is called “face roll”
