I’m glad for everyone that enjoyed this game and found a meaningful experience in it. Kind of wish it could’ve been the same for me. I found the whole experience, from combat through story, to be horrendous by any standard, and quit midway through. Then someone begged me to come back and give it a full shot. So, I completEd it all thE way to the Ending, and it got even worse.

Anyway, hopefully you do enjoy it; I could probably give a full-paragraph diatribe on what didn’t work for me, but art can be very subjective.

The game is a true masterpiece, one of the best works of art I’ve ever experienced. The pacing and story were amazing, even the boring and annoying parts are perfectly seasoned with new information so that your interest and investment to the story deepens

It’s a world and a story that flows like music, repeating the same melody over and over with new instruments joining in and swelling with each repetition. It constantly adds new information that recontextualizes the story entirely with masterful timing

I also don’t recommend the game to people. It was perfectly tuned in a way that no longer works, it was made for society a decade ago. Sadly, I don’t think you can get the same experience anymore… We just aren’t the same as we were then

Dude, just let them not like the fucking game. “Oh no! There’s a piece of criticism about the game! I must make a long-winded reply to make sure to balance it back out”.

Just stop.

No. The kind of Mean Girls esque “polite assholery” of the previous comment needs to be addressed and called out for what it is.

The people that make those kinds of comments think they’re being nice when they really aren’t. If nobody points it out to them in a way that sticks out they’ll just keep doing it

How is it Mean Girls-esque if they think they’re being nice?

Anyway, no, I’ve seen your other comments, you clearly have a bone to pick here. Honestly, it’s funny that you’re the one telling me about being the rudeness police.

I’m sure Katana is old enough to handle whatever problem may be here on their own.

Says the person being nasty in the rest of their comment history.

Get over yourself, hypocrite

When the fuck did I say any of that??

I don’t know why you recommend games to people, but I do it so others can find enjoyment. I had a deeply meaningful experience from the game that I like talking about, but I also think it won’t hit the same in 2026. I just don’t think others will have that kind of experience with nier in the current media environment.

It sounds hard to be so insecure in your own tastes that you need external validation

User at the top said they didn’t like the game, despite giving multiple tries.

Then you come in below them going “oh but ackshually it’s a masterpiece”

It’s the worn out story of the fanboys never being able to let other people dislike their favorite thing. If you can’t understand how that’s shitty, then it’s a you problem. Fuck off.

No, I shared my experience with the game and then explained why I think it’s also totally valid and relatable why they couldn’t get into it when they played it. Sometimes art is timeless, sometimes it can only be properly experienced in the time it was made for.

Although I guess most art won’t hold up if reading comprehension continues to plummet…
