I tried on 2 separate occasions to sit down and play through this game... but in both cases, I got bored and ended up putting it down.
Saying that though, one thing I can't take away from this game is that I was interested in the game's world, characters, and storyline from the very beginning... Oh, and I can't forget about the music... it was hauntingly beautiful and ethereal. I just felt the gameplay was not there for me.
After playing through Nier Automata (which I also had severe problems with) and seeing how great the last 1/3 of that game was, and its story/payoff, I want to get back to this... but instead of playing the original PS3 version, I think I'll play the ridiculously named remastered version: NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139.
