Nier:
>Huge variety in locations, every one changes the gameplay in creative ways. Bright forests, desert civilization, abandoned factory, cute village, there's never two places alike. Pepole in each place have a distinct culture.
>Filled with side quests. You can fucking farm and fish if you want to. You can get watermellons for your qt daughter.
>Genuinely funny dialogue makes the serious parts mean more.
>Did weird niche things that only Taro would do. Buzzard stuff like the VN in the forest
Nier Automata:
>Brown and bloom. Everywhere. Worse than gears of war, but funnily enough, the same people who complain about brown and grey, no color gloomy AAA games love this when it's the exact same.
>Everywhere is the same. Oh look, another aband one factory filled with the same easy to kill robots. Great.
>Shadow the Hedgehog tier story. No more whimsical adventure, there's nothing to protect because everything is already dead and rusting. One of the most cringe inducingly edgy games I've played in years.
>Creative weird gameplay ideas? Gone. You're either killing shit or avoiding red balls in a bullet hell.
>"Oh I see you're enjoying being able to see everything you want to. Lemme just randomly take cameta control away from you."
>Humor is gone
Defend this piece of shit. What is it you like about it? Hiw i this not one of the worse sequels to anything since Thief 2014? The only good things are the combat and the fact it's on PC.
