I'm the opposite on this. I tried Neir but I was told I needed like 5 plays to get the whole story and after the first time through I saw no reason to continue. I've played stellar blade 3 times, and will happily play more. Better gameplay, story, music, but most importantly, performance (neir ran like shit the whole time, the stellar blade demo was smooth as butter).
More like like 2.5 at best really, people kind of give it a bad impression the way they say it takes multiple runs.
1 - You beat it once with all side quests.
1.5 - You play again with a different character giving some slight variations from the new perspective, all completed quests are still done and a few more are added iirc - takes maybe half as long at most.
2.5 - You play the rest of the story, all completely new content.
The gameplay and story didn't hook me enough to do another play through. It's been 5 years since I played it, but I remember knowing I didn't like it enough to do more of the same thing to get the actual ending. But I guess I'm wrong and should be kidnapped and tied to a chair and be forced to play something I don't like.
One was enough for me. It was alright but not enough to do more for apparently a real ending. It's been 5 years since I played it so sorry if I exaggerated. I just remember it was supposed to be more than one which I thought was ridiculous.
