Gotta say, the opening of Nier Automata is something I tell people how much I hated! It's a great story, but it's bad game design.
It's a mix of cutscenes and gameplay that takes about 40 mins to get through, there's no saving possible at any time, and if you die then you go right back to the beginning.
And I did die, twice. So yeah, that was a slog, and by the third time round I'm not enjoying the storytelling anymore.
If you are actually good and didn't die, I can see why you had a different and more enjoyable experience :)
I really enjoyed begining of Automata, action, music and artstyle, but the neat thing is ... That opening credits are placed 20+ hours later in the game. And by that time i was really invested in the story and characters.
I also agree that there should be some savepoint in the begining of a game, I died once or twice and it was annoying to replay everything from the start.
