I grew up playing both Western and Japanese games – the Western stuff on MS-DOS and the Japanese imports on the NES and SNES. Before that, we’d have to go back to the Playstation 2. The relevance here (again, probably only of interest to me) is that Dragon’s Dogma and Nier:Automata are the first Japanese games I’ve enjoyed since… well, I think the last one was The World Ends with You on the Nintendo DS, a whopping ten years ago, on a handheld system twice removed from the current generation. In both cases, I absolutely fell in love with the distraction as I quietly removed DA:I from my playlist in favor of something much more enjoyable.
Why this is interesting is that the last time I tried to play DA:I, I got to about the same point in the game before getting distracted by yet a third title – Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. How I started playing Nier:Automata is interesting to me (and probably only me) in that I was desperately trying to play through Dragon Age: Inquisition again but was bored senseless with the monotonous, MMO-inspired systems of the game.
