kradeelavas expected, gave up on nier: automata last night.
gameplay was just horribly tedious even changing the difficulties, the characters and the story did not compel at all. i forced myself to play through to when you rummage around the resistance camp. figured that even after seeing the bunker portions and a hint of the real story teased, and reading through all the spoilers on tvtropes and nothing compelled me at that point, I could ditch it and honestly say I tried.
funnily enough, I went back to tears of the kingdom. (notwithstanding the 5 playthroughs of fe:if in the last eight months lol)
i forgot how much i loved tears, lordy.
in hindsight i think i'd still place it under the flawless trio of OoT/MM/WW, but only just. BOTW felt like a barren tech demo - ahead of its time but sparse. Tears? felt like the first compelling Zelda in a long time.
i've actually already "beaten" Ganon in tears and done all the major quests, but spent like three hours tonight wandering around a tiny portion of the map intending to fill out the compedium ... and ran into a shrine, two caves, three sign-fixings, four koroks, and a whole ass mini quest of rescuing a dude from a moblin fortress. i was worried i'd be twiddlin' thumbs and wondering what to do next when it still remains lush as always; better still if you shed some of the power-ups. (rule from this point on is no sages blessings, no souped up weapons, no teleporting; only paragliding and walking.)
don't know if i'm going to attempt 100% completion (feels kinda sadistic ngl), but i think i'm going to have a good time with tears in the next month. got some Stuff coming up (secondary cataracts laser operation scheduled finally ayyy), so it'll be good to have a solid backup as distraction.

Date: 2024-05-15 11:39 pm (UTC)no idea if the story would've been my kind of thing even in theory, since i was deliberately going in kind of blind
but hey, life's short and there's more games to play than time to play them anyway, so. hope TooK is still sparking joy~
