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

I call bullshit on that one... Seriously, as things stand, the only complaint seems to be how combat has been compartmentalized by devs in favor of adding as many combat mechanics as they are able to. Skyrim limits melee to one button to allow for the FPS mechanic, which I think was unnecessary and there were other ways to allow for it without making sword and melee fights feel underwhelming... 

But most Japanese games are either aping Monster Hunter or Tales, so it doesn't feel any better on their side either... 

wut?

My comment was just a tongue in cheek joke about my love of musou games and lack of interest in anything else

Even then, my comment still stands... 

I think they dropped the ball on Arena combat systems. LR had a great combat system that might have been magical with a three or four people party...
