Yeah, the budget strains really started to show as they got towards the end. And apparently he basically rewrote everything but the basic framework of the game at a certain point, so it's understandable.
The more time passes after I've played it the more unsatisfied I feel with it as a conclusion to the franchise after all the waiting but as a standalone game it wasn't bad, and the atmosphere of dread and unease was heavier than anything the franchise has ever thrown at me before. So I guess I'm alright with how it turned out even if I wish the ending was a little different.
What else have you been playing lately? I'm trying to finish Nier before I go off to university on the 18th.
