Thirding (?) this. The integration of gameplay elements into the story and the story itself are simply amazing. It is similar to Undertale, in that the gameplay is relatively shallow, but is paced perfectly with the story.

Fourthing.

I hate fighting games. I especially despise melee action games. I don't love 3rd person perspective. I haven't really played JRPGs.

Nier:Automata jumped at the top of my list and kept getting better. Even my (non-gaming) wife watched me playing because she was curious and the art and story were fantastic.

A unique experience that is difficult to put into a review. FWIW, my other favourites are Mass Effect, Deus Ex, lots of Sierra & Lucasarts point & click games, etc.

Story telling and surprises (and style) in NieR:Automata were just top notch.

He meant Galileo, the german TV series.

L cancelling is not a bug, it is an altered feature from smash 64, where it was called Z-cancelling and removed all of the lag from aerial attacks. I also have a hard time to believe, that wavedashing is a bug, as they specificlly implemented a state transition for wavelanding (hitting the ground while in the airdodge animation), it is more a clever exploitation of this mechanic by jumping and immediatly airdodging into the ground, thus carrying over a whole lot of momentum.

The study explicitly states, that the problem went away for reddit, but this does not proof that the hate went away, it maybe just left reddit for another platform.

That's not suppression. That's reddit taking care of its own platform.

There's a difference between policing your own corner of the internet; versus policing the entire internet.

Sure but I interpreted the claim being made to be about hate existing anywhere. Reddit can do what they want, but we can argue whether it's good for society or not, even if it's clearly good for reddit.
