    I personally really enjoyed it. Post nut clarity really helps engage with the philosophic part of the game

          It’s called giving the game a chance.

          Also, that’s not the quality of retort you think it is. Having a lot of players getting bored and dropping a game before it gets “good” is a bad thing

            It’s called giving the game a chance.

            ,If you don’t enjoy the gameplay after let’s say 2 hours, it’s fine to just stop. If you play something without enjoying it, that’s on you.

            Having a lot of players getting bored and dropping a game before it gets “good” is a bad thing

            I’m not aware that many players dropped the game. AAFAIK, the game was positively received and many people liked it.

            And I didn’t say that it takes a while to “get good”. I said that it takes a while for the philosophical themes to show.

              Most people that drop a game out of boredom don’t tend to talk about it that much. That just lets the diehard fans dictate the narrative about it, especially for one that requires multiple playthroughs like Nier

                It’s well liked by critics (88% on metacritic) and the audience (very positive on steam). Your opinion is an outlier. Let other people enjoy things.

                It doesn’t require multiple playthroughs. The game’s chapters are just structured in a weird way. Each “playthrough” that’s required has a different perspective and/or story than the last one.

                Even if you consider each chapter a “playthrough”, then each of those is just a few hours.

                  (88% on metacritic)

                  There’s plenty of movies on metacritic with high rating but completely boring. Not really a good metric for quality
