I can, I'll report back after I've installed it.
SteamGAF hype has never let me down so far.
Did you ever hear the story of rogue legacy the goty?
I've heard of it, but I wasn't yet on gaf at that time.

I thought not, it's not a story SteamGAF would tell you.
it was or Rogue Legacy or BioInf, so votes were tallied in a way that BioInf doesn't win. That's how we ended with that GOTY, it is known.
I tell any steamgaf story, you just need to ask nicely

It was said time and time again that the prior games didn't need to be played to enjoy this. So I don't think that'd be a major factor.
This still goes back to what I'm saying though. If you don't care about the story or caharcters in route A. None of the changes in the later routes is going to change that.
If those are the choices, is pick rogue legacy as well

As a counterpoint, I think the Stellaris tutorial does a great job of easing in new players. The mission structure lets you take on new game concepts at your own pace, and there always sitting there for when you're ready. It's leagues ahead of the common front-loaded info-dumps so many titles model as a tutorial.

"Spring" is all we have still and the info from the leak.
Not every game needs to cater to everyone. In fact, that would make gaming dreadfully boring.
Nier: Automata's structure is interesting, unique and refreshing as it is.

And they don't -- I have two friends who are PC-only, and have thus never played Nier, and who have fully completed Automata and love it.
Well I had no previous knowledge of the "Taroverse" and loved it.
But after having completed it I regret not having played Nier 1 beforehand. (Not that I could have, but still..)

I agree they don't need to be.
But I would disagree about its structure being refreshing. It didn't do anything unique with its open world.

that's your call, i mean if you wanted to stop part-way through route A and felt like you had your fill by then it's a bit similar. it's not a completionist thing, it's just the intended standard progression.

So you are saying that stopping halfway through the route A and finishing route A is similar experience?
I disagree. I finished route A and i feel like i completed what i started. Sure there are many questions unanswered but that's about it.

I was thinking why did I have the Fly me to the Moon song in my head earlier.
Then I'm browsing this thread...

Got some good recommendations thanks to SteamGAF hype but I'm not a big fan of Momodora IV myself and Hollow Knight loses huge points for me due to it's dumb map system.

She does take commissions but she's currently busy finishing some and doing those plushies for AGDQ. If you just follow her twitter she does update when her commission slots are open!

I can see why people who make 90 minute games might not like the two hour refund window

Done
Depends.
In the last month I dropped two of 'Gaf's sacred-cows out of sheer boredom.
The Witness - 2 hours
Stephen's Sausage Roll destroys it.
Witcher 3 GOTY - 15 hours
I was right all along. Fallout 4 is more fun.
Which version tho? This is important for uh... cataloging reasons.

Nay.
But I mean, when I'm saying "SteamGaf hype has never let me down" I'm not saying "I'm hyped for every single game SteamGaf is hyped".
I'd like to think I know my tastes very well.

The only game I can remember outright dropping in the last decade at least is probably Crysis 2 last year. I was doing the 52 games year thing and I wanted to chip away at the backlog, so I felt like Crysis 2 could be a mindless short romp. Nope. After an hour or so I dropped it hard because I found it absolutely intolerable and aggressively mediocre.
Aside from that I'm pretty stubborn and usually finish a game once I get it started regardless of how I'm feeling about it. If I find it a slog or annoying I sort of complete it out of spite towards the game, because I have problems I guess. As if to personify the game and say to myself, you think you got the best of me, game? Hah, you think I can't handle your mediocrity? Ha HAA you've clearly underestimated how much I hate myself and disregard the value of my time.
But really I think it's a matter of knowing my own tastes well enough at this point and vetting a game in one manner or another before playing it. I don't just get things on a whim.

2B looks so much better with red hair
Do you generally enjoy that sort of game or did Space Space 2 have something about it that made it less fun than other games? Did you enjoy the first one?

I've got too big of a backlog to slog through something because of a sense of investment.
If I enjoyed it for 10 hours and stopped enjoying it on the 11th, I have no problem walking away. I don't consider those 10 hours wasted just because I didn't finish. I might consider the 11 through whatever hours wasted if I played while bored.
And sometimes walking away and coming back is better for long games.

Man, Bulletstorm is such amazing game, i just started my third full playthough because i bought remaster and having a blast with it again. I love this game so much, too bad that dumb Gearbox pricing will probably killed chances to get sequel Honestly, i bought this remaster only because of regional pricing (was around 15$ before Gearbox suddenly raised prices after release) and because i want Bulletstorm 2 badly. Having steam achievements is nice, but it's still too damn overpriced, i can't see it successful with 50$ pricetag.

It depends on how invested I'm into the game before hand. If I'm hyped for the game, I rarely give up on them, and give them at least 5-6 hours. If I'm not hyped for them, or generally don't care for the genre, I can drop them in 20 minutes.
Games like The Witcher 2, XCOM2, Mass Effect 1 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are games that I struggled with for several hours, but ended upp really enjoying.
But for other genres, like regular FPS games I usually drop within the hour, if they don't feel great immediately.
Or if it's a game that I'm sceptical to within my favorite genres, it has to prove me wrong from the start. I'm a fan of p&c adventure games, but I dropped Simon the Sorceror 4 within 5 minutes because of the horrible dialogues. And I couldn't even be bothered to beat the demo of The Book of Unwritten Tales, because I really don't care for how that game looked and felt.
Well I'm not a huge fan of horror games, but I like to try games that are critically acclaimed as a way of exploring the medium and expanding my horizons
I skipped 1 and started with 2, the story wasn't really doing much for me and while the game is great at scaring the player, the first 6 chapters mostly consisted of jump scares and then frustrating encounters
The enemies are terrifying but they're not fun to fight, and half the time to game asks you to fight them in darkness
This is great for upping the tension but it doesn't make the game any fun
It's by no means a bad game, it's just not a game that I enjoyed
The only other two "horror" games I've played were RE4 and RE5, and while they're campy and less serious they were a lot more fun to play
(The only other two games I've quit in recent years were Alundra and Tactics Orge)

WTF.
I bought that stupid costume change module and never saw the options for any of this.
Would have enjoyed the game 10x more playing with the heavy gear costume and red hair.
