I don't understand the appeal of this game. The gameplay seems like run-of-the-mill hack and shoot the numbers out of your enemy, the level in the demo is ugly and uninspired, the dialogue sounds like something written and voiced like in a bad 70s porn movie. I didn't see a single redeeming quality. But each to their own I guess.
Well don't get it then I guess?
The appeal is the polished, stylistic combat, movements, and character designs, the amazing music, the knowledge that we basically don't know what the fuck to expect from the game (I mean, the demo alone gave us bullet hell, 2d segments, a section where you pilot a mech and beat the boss up with its own arm), as the original was known for implementing various genres. You really don't see the appeal in a game that's free to be as creative as it wants to be? Not that doing stuff like 2d segments instantly means it'll be GOTY or something, but there's a lot of excitement to be had in playing a game that will differ greatly from what people are used to. The first Nier's primary issue was its combat, and that's getting rectified here. Story should be great, or at least weird as fuck and will have people talking. Music has the same people working on it, so that'll be legendary too. This game by all accounts shouldn't even exist, yet here we are.
But yea, to each their own I guess. Not that you can't dislike it or anything, of course you can. But to say you don't see the appeal of it at all, in a thread with 20+ pages of people saying why they're hyped for it, comes as extremely disingenuous.
