I took a quick look at the ds3 thread and will continue my policy of enjoying souls games without reading the souls threads here. Man what a train wreck.

That joke thread title suggestion was accurate.

DS3 is the worst. Worst at bringing out Soul goons being a bunch of goddamn spergs.

Nioh is extremely good, though it needs a little more time in the oven, certainly. The core mechanics work great; combat especially is really strategic; there's a need to be quick and aggressive, but the game expects you to fight like a samurai, and that means being patient and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. The block in this game, despite the absence of a shield, is actually very very good and is a key component to movement in combat, which is also quite different from Dark Souls.

The level design is pure souls though. Lots of shortcuts, ladders to kick down, pitfalls, vertical levels. The intro area is okay, but the area after it is really loving cool to explore, even if I'm just getting wrecked by every other monster and his mother. The enemies in this game dont' gently caress around, and I think that some have a fair bit too much health.

Sold. I am so getting this.

I'll bet you anything that one of your allies will be an NK resistance fighter to show that they aren't all bad.

Yeah, but they are basically only North Korea because it's okay to demonize North Korea in real life. I get it, it just feels kind of gross to me personally. Like North Korea is a "safe" country to demonize due to current politics, so in your totally fictional setting, they will be the bad guys even though fictional NK has nothing in common with real NK.

I thought they filtered all media that comes into North Korea anyway though? So the people who should be offended aren't even going to see it, it's a bunch of -ism against people who will never be aware of it and would rather not interact with us anyway. From what I understand they like being demonized anyway because it helps their case for martyrdom vs the evil everyone else.

So apparently my ps4 thinks the hard drive is full even though it reports 20 gigs free. Consequently it didn't download the Nioh demo earlier. I cleared another 20 gigs and now it is downloading. But now instead of playing it I'm waiting impatiently.

Yeah, it was but then it got unexpected hype and MS decided that a game with that much attention couldn't be just a boss rush game and made them add levels. It'll still probably be good but that's still also sounds like a formula for how most cool games become bad.

If you ever had a PS3 you would know the inane annoyance of downloading digital games. Everything required doubled the size of the stated game because you had to download the entire thing, then install the entire file whihc would double the size on the hard drive, and then delete the original download. It was awful

I'm not gonna lie, one of the things that made me so hyped about the tomb raider reboot was they finally gave Lara some drat pants. I'm the person those people hate and I'm fine with that.

We could have had an awesome tactical RPG where you can have stuff like Raidou Kuzunoha, Demi-Fiend, Ike, Lyn, Lucina, and the P4 team fighting Yahweh.

I care about sleek, sensual stats. Oooo baby yeah, you get plus two in strength. Oh what's that? You wanna get lucky? Mmm girl, you know luck's a waste, but I can't say no to you, there's a point in luck.

Non-FG crossovers are usually messes of conflicting IPs and shoehorned mechanics, so I'm happy getting a quirky new IP that's basically just another Atlus RPG instead.
