    Yeah, definitely people tend to misrepresent Yoko Taro. I think dude has a knack for presenting thoughtful narratives in video game form, but he isn't like lol im gonna troll u by making bad video game, he is just kinda shitty at game design. His big break came after his ideas were better represented when a third party designed Automata's core mechanics.

    That being said, Yoko Taro is a very cynical dude and I dig that.

      Yeah I think he absolutely has some cool ideas but sometimes struggles to put them into full effective practice.

      Also even though I partially hate his worldbuilding style it is a unique and interesting approach, even if it means his fans get too obsessed with minutiae of how timelines interact and end up ignoring what I think is his most interesting game(Drakengard) except for a single ending and memes about the suicidal pedo character.
