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

How about character design in western games, a little generic...anyone else noticed?

I think realistic is a better term than generic. Which I am fine with, I'd rather have realistic looking characters than 99.9% of the stuff I see in Japanese games.

OT, feels like you're comparing vastly different game styles in the OP, but I don't mind western combat design. It's more strategic imho, less button mashy.
