Playing Nier Automata makes me sad for the sad state of combat in Western games

Dear lord I've never seen so many stereotypes and generalizations in a single thread. There are great combat systems in both Western and Japanese games. Of course it helps that Platinum, the best in the hack 'n slash business, calls Japan home. But if you look in the right places you can find what you're looking for in Europe, North America, or Japan.

These dichotomies are so tiresome. Let's have some nuance.

Personally I like both slow and hack-and-slash combat styles. Don't see why there should be hate for either
