you also have to understand the original nier has some commonalities with drakengard 1 (and 3, though 3 came afterwards), the other games in the franchise besides automata, since part of D1's whole "deal" is that it actively hates you, the player, and takes things you'd do in other games without really questioning it and makes it deeply un-fun or frustrating, as some kind of narrative on the structure of games and how players engage with them. (i'd also argue nier is the nicest of the bunch, for reasons that could be considered a spoiler so i won't say)

Honestly I think it was just incompetence in D1's case, and became intentional in replicant and d3.

This thread title reminded me that I've been wanting to play Persona 5 Royal, so I have been, and it is just a joy to play. It's long as poo poo but everything is so streamlined and easy-to-use and accessible that I never feel like my time is being wasted. The fast travel system is maybe the best I've ever seen, the sound effects are just perfectly satisfying, it has so much visual flair. Hell of a game!

Did they add anything persona fusions that makes it easier to keep a track of what you are doing? Because in the original thats the exact opposite of what you are describing. I agree with you though.

I think the biggest weakness of the series post-64 is just that the games shift so much over to the writing team who just don't have the chops. Like, as soon as you get into Assault the game gets way into trying to ship characters together and goofy backstory stuff. In 64, Pigma tells you "Your daddy squealed reeeeeal good before he died!" and that's basically as much as you know about Jame's fate after getting captured by Andross, and then in the expanded universe you learn Andross tried to kill James because he and Fox's mom were in love and so he accidentally kills her with a loving car bomb lmao

they did this with the hardy boys books too. i mean the car bomb thing

I have a really bad habit of getting to 90% completion in a game and then putting it down for 6 months - indefinitely. I finally finished Half-Life: Alyx last night (I only had 1.5 hours left of gameplay and started playing the game like 8 months ago) and this morning I feel like I liberated a few GB of mental RAM. Does anyone else have this problem

Not getting to 90%, but yes to everything else. For the longest time I would start a game and play for a few hours and then move on. The fact that I was enjoying a game did not stop me. I do it constantly even now.

I just want to experience everything all the time and there are so many games and I do not want to miss a single one! I am so glad to have actually been completing games again thanks to putting myself on a schedule :D

I do it all the time. Its usually because I’ve seen pretty much everything the game has to offer and the story isn’t interesting enough to finish. I’m not really a fan of spectacle boss battles so the final sequences in any game are usually the worst and most tedious parts for me.

I tend to abandon games in the second half as well, if it starts to feel like I've progressed all that I can as a player and am just repeating the same movements over and over to get to the end. This is especially the case in games where you can figure out optimal strategies for things. It took me awhile to finish Pillars of Eternity 1 because I couldn't resist having a Cipher in the party who would charm and dominate the enemies and then use two insanely powerful multi-target attacks (Antipathetic Field and Ectopsychic Echo) and shred through everything. It is insanely powerful and fun for awhile but by the end of the game it just feels like rote, so I'd get bored and move on.

I played Dragon Quest 7 on 3DS up until the last boss God, but I guess I was too low level or something because I could not beat him, and that was 100+ hours in so I was pretty sick of grinding at that point.

I have tried to return a couple of times, but I'm completely lost as to where to go or what to do and I have no idea what any of the classes are good for.

I did actually complete FF13 over a period of 4 years though. There was a break of about two years or so between me arriving at the final dungeon and beating the boss, so it can be done in some circumstances.

Oh yes, the better a game is the less likely I am to finish it. Right now I'm sitting at 80-90% done with Control, Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding, Pathfinder Kingmaker, and a couple others I can't recall.

Honestly I do it with book series sometimes too. Never read the last book or not finished all of the last book for Dark Tower, Left Behind, or Harry Potter.

The smash bros Star Fox stage uses an arrangement of this theme. Koji Kondo is listed on the soundtrack for both games but I have no idea if he did any compositions or if they're just crediting him for the original tracks.

I never read the last Harry Potter either lol, I think mostly because I had already outgrown the series by the time it was published.

Are we brokebrained? Is this some kind of advanced procrastination? I put like 50 hours into Yakuza: Like a Dragon (insanely sick game), attempted the last boss twice only to Game Over both attempts because of bullshit instakill RNG attacks. That's when I decided to just uninstall the game and watch a recorded stream of someone beating the game so I could at least experience the ending of the story through a Proxy Gamer. If I were ten years younger and if I didn't live with my girlfriend (she's a Gamer too, currently on Demon Island in Okami- I love her) I'd probably just get really stoned and roll the dice in Y:LAD until I actually finished the game for myself.

My values and priorities have evolved a lot since I was less of an adolescent. Maybe not finishing certain games is a positive form of brokebrain?

not to mention it was widely spoiled so the big twist in the book was revealed and the rest was a forgone conclusion. Oh wow, the good guys win in the end! Don't actually need to read that bit, I get it. In Left Behind's case, the second coming of Christ was just boring and tbh Christ's glorious kingdom kind of sucks, the anti-christ's world was better. No offense, God, but please get your poo poo together before the real deal.

In your case it sounds like you're just making more informed choices about your time spent. You beating the last boss mechanically probably not significantly different than anyone else doing it.

I think more generally though, endings just are never the best part of anything, unless that things sucks and you just want it to be over.
