For me it was Nier: Automata after the Pascal's rage. I just dropped my controller and cried for an hour. Their hatred, their loss... I couldn't even find a space to place it. To place myself. Anywhere. Anyhow. I felt defective.

I played that game obsessively over two days and got through ending E, and it absolutely destroyed me. I was depressed for weeks.

If you still have some heartbeat in you, remaster of the OG Nier is a thing to try. It would hurt you, even more than Automata, but in the end, with an added ending, you'd feel a relief like nothing else. That I can promise.

See if you'd be open to such a journey. Feel free to ping me back to discudss it if you would.

Nier automata never clicked with me and I feel kinda sad for it. It's my most hated good game

It's OK. Yoko Taro is an outlier and a niche in himself. I, for example, can't even enjoy Souls games besides Bloodborne, and I feel a little sad about it. But what games are to your taste?

Outer wilds, Katana zero, Disco elysium. Games that gets me emotional. For me, Nier was way too pretentious and anime for me to care about its world

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm yet to try Disco or Katana, but I'd do, eventually. Any suggestions before I dive into them?

Go in blind For disco elysium, failing the checks are part of the fun too
