>>42736102So if your only way to beat PMD is to fight everything as you say, and status moves and items are useless as you yourself said here
>>42735367, then what other option is there other than to spam attacks? And if all you have to do to beat the game is spam attacks, then how is it not easy for a kid? That's all a kid would think to do anyway, right? And if a kid could beat PMD from just spamming attacks, as you claim is possible, then how does this change make the remake any easier if they'd just be doing the same thing as in the original and getting the same results?
The big issue here is that you are wrong and you can't beat the game by just spamming your attacks. You couldn't beat the original game by just spamming your attacks, and this change in the remake still does not change the fact that you can't beat the game just by spamming your attacks. This change does not negate the need for strategy and thinking ahead.
And yet you claim that this new feature makes the game "play itself", while at the same time claiming that strategy was never needed in the original. If you could beat the original just by button mashing essentially, then what difference does it make if instead of mashing the attack button, the game's attacking for you?
Except that isn't happening in the remake, and that didn't happen in the original, because in both games, simply spamming attacks is not enough. All that this change does is eliminate the need to go through a menu, and going through menus is not fucking difficulty.
