Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices

  The random premature endings were already annoying in nier automata, and that did have save files. I almost never replay things, I get extremely bored. Took me forever to get through the second playthrough of nier automata as well, since that is so similar to the first.

  If a game pulled that on me I just wouldn’t play it ever again and watch a cut scene compilation or something.

    Then don’t play those games? I don’t understand the point of your comment.

      Because I am going to know ahead of time if a game does that? And it’s not like I didn’t enjoy nier automata.

      Also no ones saying games can’t have anything like that, just that it’s not really what would generally be considered good design.

        In Sekiro, while it is not made clear that the decision will end the game (after a boss fight), it is obviously a very important decision, so I don’t think making the stakes actually high is bad design - the stakes being high is one of the reasons I like souls games.

        I didn’t like Nier Automata and didn’t play it much, so I don’t know about its abrupt endings, and how they are presented and handled.
