> People praise Automata for its story, storytelling, and creativity.

So I can't judge the story so I'll reserve judgement.

and I can't judge the ps2-era graphics because you say not to, even though people commend that as well.

and I don't find it that creative either, am I supposed to say other fans know that too? There are some compelling parts that I enjoy, I am just miffed how it doesn't really come together or have anything that isn't really expected. There are some sequences (ie. amusement park to village in route A) that are epic, but then it just doesn't do much with it. its like "oh okay, they just explained what was immediately apparent"

alright I'll keep going. I know what Route C is because many others have explained it in other forums, and I'm looking forward to it. There are routes after C though?

It's very unlikely that route C will salvage your opinion of the game. This is why I'm bitter about noisily-held opinions of this game: others say they aren't enjoying the game and it really isn't that good? You just haven't given it a chance! Play through route C and all will be redeemed!

It won't.

You even saw it up above with that one person who said that, even though I had played through all routes and didn't enjoy it, must have "written it off and not given it a chance as you played it". As though I don't care for my time.
